Part 2
Asad was worried. He knew by now every one would have came to know that he ran away. Everyone will be searching for him. After all tomorrow is his nikkah with tanveer. Up to his 25 yrs of life he had done nothing that made his parents ashamed. He has spoiled all the prestige of his family. But he had no other go he can't marry tanveer. If he marry her one or other the entire family will suffer including him.
Asad has not taken his cell phone. He had withdrawn all the money from his account yesterday morning itself. So no one will find out he is in Mumbai. He has never been to Mumbai before. He had studied in New York. So no one will guess he is in Mumbai. More over there will be so many people who goes to Mumbai from Bhopal. He knew he is safe here. He has to adjust few days in a hotel till he finds a job. Even tough he has all his certificates of his B.arch & MBA he don't want to do a job as an architect or as a management executive. What if some one finds him through that? May be this is an opportunity given by Allah to fulfil his passion for music. He decided to find a reasonable hotel so that he can stay till he find a job.
Zoya had tried all the possible hostel & houses for to stay as a paying guest. Luck was not in favour of her. Hostels didn't had any vacancies & in houses to stay as a paying guest they were not willing to accommodate her. In Mumbai the rate of terrorism is increasing day by day & a random girl was suspected as a terrorist. Zoya did try to convince them that she is an engineering graduate & she had come here for coaching. But no one was ready to accept her. Up to evening she tried every were possible. But all went vain. She finally came to conclusion that she has to stay in a hotel. She has few money with her. She had taken all her money from her bank account to pay the fees for coaching classes. Few money from her pocket money was with her. She can afford to stay in a reasonable hotel. She had to find a part time job for her survival. Since it's late in the evening she has to find a hotel room soon. There are 5 more days for her to join the coaching class for her crash course.
Zoya tried 2 to 3 hotels but there was no room available. It was getting late & she is really hungry. She had not ate anything for the whole day. Only 2 coffees she had drank for this whole day. She was literally exhausted. She sat in the bus stop for a while.
Few locals were ogling over her. A young beautiful girl all alone in the night in bus stop. Zoya got scared when they came near her.
Man 1: hey beautiful were are you going at this time?
Man 2: come with us pretty girl.
Zoya: you jerks leave me alone. I warn you I know karate. I will beat you.
One guy touched her hands. Zoya beat him hardly.
Man 2: oh god this girl is too much. We will have fun.
He caught her. Zoya was shouting.
Zoya: help me some one help me.
Suddenly she felt that she had fell down. She opened her eyes. It was real. She had fell down. She saw that the man who grabbed her was also lying next to her. She saw the man whom she met in the noon was standing there.
Asad roared: how dare you to molest a women? You jerks!
Man 1: I think we need to teach him a lesson first.
Asad bet him hardly. He bet them till they faint.
He had slept in noon after taking a room. When he woke up it was night & he was hungry. He went to get some food & he saw two men trying to misbehave with a girl.
He went near towards zoya. He gave her his hand. He helped her to get up.
Asad: are you ok?
Zoya: yes I am fine.
She looked at him.
Zoya: thank you very much. I know a thanks is not enough. You have saved my life.
Asad: it's ok. I too have a sister who is of your age. Btw why are you here that too at this time? Why didn't you go home?
Zoya: my home is not here in Mumbai. I tried to stay in a hostel but vacancies are not there. I tried few reasonable hotels also. But I couldn't get a room.
Asad: I stay in a hotel near by. We will try to get a room there only. Come.
Zoya: ok. Btw what's your name?
Asad: asad! My name is asad Ahmed khan. Yours?
Zoya: I am zoya farooqui.
She extended her hands. Asad too shook her hands.
Asad: nice to meet you.
Zoya: same here.
Asad: come let's go.
Asad took her luggage & proceeded to the hotel.
