Chapter 14 - The Fire of ConspiraciesThis chapter is dedicated to Jas91 whose coments inspired me to update soon and sweet_tehs who wanted light moments between AsYaZoya looked at the moon with wistful expression. She smiled sadly and keep on gazing it deep in thoughts.
I never thought I will help Mr Khan after what he did to me. After all those pain he caused me I never thought that I will help him but I did. I agreed helping him, I don't know why? Maybe because I wanted to confirm that my belief on Mr Khan was not wrong that how much hurt he cause me, he can never betray me or maybe...maybe because I wanted to punish Tanveer! There are many others things that might be reason for me to do it but I don't want to think that, no, never.
It is difficult, difficult to be with the person who caused me so much pain, who ditched me on our wedding, who left me whenever I need him but I tried to forget all that and believe he is innocent yet it didn't helped.
Some days back, everything changed. When Mr Khan told me how he wanted to be friendly with me, something in my heart twisted, I know he didn't said exactly that he wanted to be friend but his words implied that only and those words, just don't know why touched my heart and somewhere I started to come out of the shell and be with him without remembering those days. Now, I talked with him quite fine but I think am falling in love with him again. His every action is making me fall for him again and again. His care, his touch and his words they are so comforting so welcoming an-and so affectionate yes affection! I found it in his every action every thing and my heart has started to believe that he loves me truly but I will not let this fact come between my self-respect that is hurt many times by him. If I will forgive him just like that then I may lose my self-respect but I will not forgive Mr Khan untill I really wishes untill I really found that he will not repeat his mistake of hurting me and my self-respect yes I will not forgive him till then! He cheated me and till he can't prove he is innocent I can't forgive him because I can't lose my self-respect for someone, I can gave him everything my love, my care, my thoughts and my everything but I just can't give him my self-respect. I cannot give him that right to hurt it, I can't!Asad was sitting on the bench in the garden and was looking at the moon with hopefull smile.
Life is strange you cannot even guess what's gonna happened in future any second can be a surprise any moment can be a shock. I thought, I am the writer of my own destiny that after my father betrayal nothing else will go wrong but I didn't knew that I am myself wrong. I became rude to save other's from me, I thought by doing so they will be disgusted of me but what I didn't knew was that my rudeness is not the shell around me but has become my personality that is not just throwing people away from me but is also hurting them, hurting deeply and just like that, I hurt the girl I love the most, I hurt my Zoya. I hurt her because I was falling for her, I hurt her so to throw her away from me, I hurt her so much that I even forgot my morals and values or mayb...maybe I hurt her for her dressing style and thoughts? I don't know but the fact is I hurt the person who loves me, whom I loves, I hurt her deeply. I don't know if there is any forgiveness for me but I love her and I can't let her go I will do my best to get her forgiveness and if I failed, I failed to get her forgiveness and change myself then I will let her take the desicion but till then I will fight, fight for my love."Jammy?"Asad cringed hearing that name and the voice of the person who destroyed him no she didn't destroy him it is him who gave her chance and destroyed himself it is all his fault
Asad's thought were broken when Tanveer touched his shoulder and called him again. He cringed at her touch but showed like unaffected.
"can I sit here?"Tanveer asked
Asad looked away without replying while Tanveer sat beside him gleefully.
"Jammy, I know things are weird for you but the fact is we are getting married day after tomorrow. As I know you love Zoya, I wanted to ask do you really wanted to get married to me"Tanveer asked innocently while in her heart she knew that Asad cannot deny
"look Tanveer the truth is I love Zoya and always will... It is difficult for me to accept what is happening so please give me some space"Asad snapped rudely
Tanveer opened her mouth to say something but Asad rudely interrupted
"S.P.A.C.E!!"Asad emphasized gritting his teeth
Tanveer shutted her mouth and stood up.
"I think... I should leave"Tanveer said with nervous smile and waited for Asad reply but when came none she walked away frustrated.
Asad sighed. He looked at the sky and thanks to Allah that Zoya left the house because if she would have been still living then how must she would have feel seeing Tanveer's closeness with him? Also snapping at Tanveer so rudely will surely angered her and if Zoya would have been still living then for sure Tanveer must have tried to harm her, hurt her! And he can't afford that. Zoya has went through many pains caused by Tanveer due to him but not anymore now he want to heal those scars not to give her more.
It was almost mid-night, everyone were sleeping peacefully except for one soul.
Zoya twist and turn in her sleep, sweat dribbled on her forehead. Her expressions painfull and scared like a nightmare is haunting her. It didn't take a minute when she sat on her bed with tears runing down her cheeks. She touched her forehead and wiped her tears.
"why aren't these nightmares leaving my side! From the time I went in that gudiya factory with Asad these strange nightmares are haunting me every night! Why?"Zoya murmured as she cleaned her face
"Zoya what if that doll factory is haunted? And that's why those ghosts are troubling you?"Zoya smiled as she think of her own stupid conclusion
Zoya shook her head with a smile trying to clear her stupid conclusions when her eyes fell on a box placed on a table. Her smile vanished as she walked towards it and sit on chair taking it in hands. Zoya opened the box, revealing it's content. She touched every thing present it, they were the memories of her parents mostly her mother. Zoya was looking through every thing intently when her eyes fall on a burnt paper. Her eyes widen as she took in her hands and read half burnt words.
"means my father is related to this factory he maybe the owner! Ya Allah, is this the reason am having dreams of this doll factory since I investigate in it? Because I go there in my childhood!"Zoya eyes widen as she connect all the dots
"I will go there now only. I just can't wait for tomorrow to know about all this"Zoya decided
Zoya changed into her jeans and taking her bag she started for doll factory.
Zoya keep on looking at doll factory when guard saw her and walked towards her.
"what are you doing here again?"Guard asked
"I-I*she took a deep breath* I want to meet the owner of this factory"Zoya stated
The answer didn't go well with guard, he was curious so he asked the reason on which Zoya told him that she is finding someone and she think that the owner is the one she is finding so she asked him to call them once or gave their number.
"I can't give their number but yes I can tell them about you, what's your name?"Guard asked
"Zoya, Zoya Farooquie"Zoya told with hope
"thek h. I will inform them in morning"Guard said and started to go
The light smile on Zoya face dissapeared and she ran to guard requesting him to call the owner right now which sounded ridiculous to guard but after Zoya persistent he gave in an called the owner.
The darkness and silence were swelling the whole mainsion when someone's phone ring. Razia sit on her bed and murmured cursings.
"itni raat ko kis kambhakt ne phone kiya hai?(who has called at this time of night)"Razia said before taking the call
"kon kambhakt bol rha hai?(who is talking?)"Razia asked in sleepy voice
"madam! It's me Abdullah, the security guard of your gudiya factory"The guard identified himself
Razia eyes widened.
"why is he calling me now? What has hapened?"Razia murmured
"madam?"Guard questioned from other side to confirm her presence
"han, han bolo mai yahi hun! Kis liye phone kiya h itni raat ko?(yes yes say am here! Why have you called at this time of night)"Razia asked in low tone looking at Ghaffur sleeping at other side
"madam some girl wants to meet you she is saying that she is finding someone and she believes the person she is finding is the owner of this factory"Razia get shocked and curious hearing this
She sneakingly walked away from Ghaffur near the window and asked for the name of the girl.
"Zoa- han Zoya Farooquie"Guard told remembering it
The phone almost slipped from Razia hand but soon she composed herself.
"how can this happen?"Razia thought
"let her wait inside the doll factory. I'll reach there in sometime"She replied to guard evilly
Saying so Razia cut the call.
"Tanveer ne to kaha tha k Zoya New york chly gye! She must be fooling me I will see her later but for now I need to end this Zoya game she is troubling a lot"The evilness shone in her eyes as she planed something wicked
On the other side
"kya kaha unhone?(what did they said?)"Zoya asked with hope shining in her light smile and eyes
"they said that they will come and meet you in sometime inside the factory"Guard told
"okkk. You open the factory then na"Zoya said impatiently
Guard noded.
Zoya entered the factory and wait for the owner to come.
After 25 minutes.
Razia looked at the guard and asked him for Zoya.
"thek h. Ab tum jao chutty kro(alright! Now you go, take a leave)"Razia ordered
Guard noded and giving Razia keys, he walked away.
Razia peeped inside to make sure the girl is the same Zoya she is thinking and her doubt was confirmed too
Closing the door of factory she locked it securely. Throwing the petrol all around the factory Razia gazed at the match stick lightening in her hand.
"ab mai bolungi to bologe bolti hai. Kisne socha hoga jahn maa ka ki mout hoye wahin beti ki bhi hogy!"Razia said evilly
"aree mery to koi ghulty bhi nhy kitna smjhaya tha uski ma ko par wo smjhy hy nhy ziddi thi na jese uski beti dekho kitne zakham mille usse phr bhi jan chor kr gye hy nhy par koi bat nhy ab jayegy apni maa k pas"Razia ended with anger
Razia lighted another stick and threw mercilessly. She smiled evilly as the fire started to ignite and spread around.
At the same time, in Khan mainsion.
"Zoyaaa"Asad said waking up with a jerk
Asad took a deep breath taking in his surroundings. "There is something wrong" was the only thought that came in his mind.
He quickly took his phone and was going to call Zoya when he stopped himself.
"what if she is sleeping?"Asad asked himsef
"and what if she is in danger? It's better to disturb her sleep then to let her deal some danger"Asad decided and called Zoya
Zoya took the call after two to three rings.
"Zoya! you are awake? At this time? And where are you?"Asad asked without greeting
"hold on Mr Khan take a breath. Yes I am awake am doing some work"Zoya replied cautiously
Asad frowned on Zoya's reply and questioned -
"which type of work? And you didn't reply me where are you?"Zoya pressed her forehead and thought for a reply - "
what do you want Mr Khan?""that's not the answer my question"Asad stated
"Mr Khan please stop poking your nose in my life"Zoya said frustrately
"why are you getting hyper Zoya? Am sure there is something wrong I mean you are..."Asad was cut off by Zoya
"Mr Khan please"Zoya said and was going to end the call when Asad asked
"Zoya please don't cut the call and listen to me"Asad pleaded knowing Zoya intention of ending the call
Zoya stopped but didn't talk, taking it as green signal Asad sighed.
"tell me where are you?"Asad asked firmly
"a-at ahh hotel"Zoya lied and Asad catched the lie
"you are lying Zoya! Tell me the truth pleasee"Asad pleaded finally
Zoya sighed and finally giving in she told him which was a shock for Asad but as Asad continue to question the reason Zoya stood frozen as she saw the flames dancing around her. The phone dropped from her hand while on other side Asad got scared as hell.
"why is Zoya not replying? There is something wrong I should go there"Asad said and stormed off his room
Zoya saw her mother and father fighting between the fire.
"abu?"She said sofly as tears ran down her eyes
She heared a scream from other side and turned to see a outline of a woman stabbing her mother amidst the fire.
She closed her mouth in shock and took a step forward but fall back due to flames.
"Zoya am coming don't worry"Asad whispered as he opened his SUV door and sat inside zooming off
On turning around for help she saw her mother lying motionless and her own small image screaming for help. She saw the two people standing near her mother.
Zoya shooked her head trying to clear her mind. The dreams that she is seeing from some days started to dance around her with flames.
"this is just my mind playing tricks with me showing me those nightmares nothing else. Concentrate and try to get a way out of it"Zoya told herself
Zoya fall down due to the force and her eyes fall on the window infront of her from where she saw the silhouette of a woman. Her eyes widen in shock but before she could say anything she saw her going away.
Asad was driving the car recklessly, his heart thumping loudly. His instincts telling him that his Zoya is in trouble. He prayed to Allah to keep her safe
Razia looked from the window to make sure Zoya die and when she saw her falling down and all trapped she walked away satisfied because she didn't wanted to be seen by anyone.
Zoya throat dried as she looked at the fire consuming every place. She was always afraid of fire and due to that her mind stopped working and she couldn't even shout for help.
"Zoya take a breath you have to fight against your fear to save yourself there is no one to help you"Zoya told herself trying to calm her mind
Zoya took a rod and pushed boxes consumed by fire. She make her way towards the gate. Zoya threw the rod and tried to open the door. Zoya face become white as sheet as if she has seen a ghost.
Asad car stopped abruptly. He tried to start it again and again but of no use. In anger Asad punched steering wheel.
"now how will I reach to Zoya?"Asad hold his head and then thought
"I should walk till there it is just behind that building yeah that will be better"Asad came out of the car and without caring to lock it he ran for his life his Zoya.
"ya Allah ye kese ho sakta hai? Ye gate to khola tha phr bund kese hogya? Ab-ab mai kese bahir niklungy?(Ya Allah how can this happen? This gate was open then how come it got locked? Now-now how will I get out?)"Zoya whispered as tears make their way
Zoya bang the door asking for guard but to her shock she found no reply. She felt scared when the fire start to spread on steel gate, she took a step backward trying to save herself from the cruel fire, suddenly she remembered something.
"I should go to that window if I reach there I will be able to get out"Zoya look at the rod and take it again so that she could reach her new destination
As Zoya tried to push the burning things away to make her way her hands start to burn as the rod got hot, feeling too much pain she threw the rod away. She whimpered in pain as her right hand turned all red.
"kaise niklun yahan se? Koi bhi nhy hai mery madad k liye(how to get out of this place? There is no one for my help)"Zoya said softly as the tears welled up in her eyes
Zoya looked at roof and closed her eyes as she shed silent tears -
"Ya Allah please help me. Please send someone for my hel- Mr Khan!"Zoya opened her eyes as soon Asad's name crossed her mind
"where is my phone?"Zoya looked around "
Oh no I dropped it somewhere when I was talking to Mr Khan, I hope he came here"Zoya prayed
Asad eyes widened as he saw the doll factory surrounded by huge flames. The fear engulfed in his heart as he thought of Zoya.
Zoya has fire phobia and she can be inside the factory that's what she told me sometime back and maybe that's the reason she stopped talking. Ya Allah, she will be so much scared and is- is she hu-rt? No no that can't be. I need to save herAsad ran towards the gate and saw it locked and almost consumed by fire.
"it is locked! but what if Zoya entered from back door"Thinking so Asad ran towards back door and saw it locked too
He sighed.
That means Zoya is not inside but why does my heart feel so restless? Why do I feel that she is here?"Zoyaaa..."Asad shouted to get her answer
"
Zoya are you here somewhere? Please answer me Zoya answer me if you can hear me"Asad shouted runing all around outside the factory
Zoya was praying for some miracle, closing her eyes when she heared Asad calling her. She opened her eyes and looked around she thought it to be her illusion but then she heared him again asking for reply. She looked all around to see if he is anywhere around and that's when her eyes fall outside the window where Asad stood all worried unknown of her presence.
"Mr Khaaan"Zoya shouted in order to get his attention
Asad heart raced as soon he heared Zoya shout he looked around to know from where the voice is coming
"Mr Khan am here inside. Turn Mr Khan turn"Zoya said loudly
Asad frowned on hearing her reply, he shivered to know she is inside. Afraid to see the worse he turned slowly and like his worst nightmare came true he saw her inside from the window, surrounded by flames, all scared looking at him with hope.
"Zoya"Asad said scared and shocked
"save me Mr Khan please save me it's s-scary"She coughed while saying scaring the shit out of Asad
"
Fire is suffocating her! I need to save her"Asad thought
"Am coming Zoya. Don't worry am coming"Asad said reassuringly while he himself was scared
Zoya felt relaxed after hearing those words from Asad. Zoya nodded at Asad as if saying am waiting save me.
Asad looked all around to find the way to enter.
"Zoya from where you are standing is this possible to save you from window or should I try from gate?"Asad questioned
Zoya eyed the window and then at the gate calculating the distance.
"Win-dow is small Mr Khan and we will be not able to ge-t out even if you entered you shoul-d try from the gate"Zoya told while trying to get her breath
"ok then you don't worry I am coming"Asad said
As Asad was about to move he thought something and looked at the window then he looked around and taking a stone from the ground he threw at the window almost smashing it.
"wha-t are you d-oing Mr khan"Zoya asked perplexed
"it will allow the fresh air to enter inside and will help you to regain your breath"Asad told briefly before throwing another stone completely breaking the window
"Mr Khan the fire is increasing, please do something Mr Khan"Zoya shouted worriedly
Asad frozed for a moment to hear it but he regained his composure
"am coming Zoya don't worry am coming"Asad shouted before rushing towards the gate
The lock was out of Asad reach so he keep on throwing the big stones on lock so that it broke down and finally he succeed. He kicked as it was consumed by fire mostly. He looked at Zoya standing at the distance of some feet, while Zoya too turned towards him. Her face stained with tears. Asad tried to reach Zoya but a big pillar fall between them blocking their way. Asad tried to pass from the fire but fail miserably.
A huge fire erupted behind Zoya that makes Asad eyes go wide in scared.
Zoya turned to see what is Asad seeing and she was scared to see the fire just about to touch her, she shield her face by putting her both arms on her face and closed her eyes. She felt scared as the force pushed her and hotness radiate on her body.
As soon Asad saw that Zoya is going to fall he ran without caring the fire that brushed against his body, he ran and holding her hand he pulled her towards him and hold her weight on his hand before she fall. He looked at Zoya face. Her lips were trembling while her eyes were closed.
Zoya waited for the moment to fall on the floor and burnt herself but that moment never came instead she could feel that she was in mid air for her fall and something holding her in air.
"did I died?"She thought as she felt like being in heaven
She opened her eyes slowly and saw Asad holding her in his arms. She looked in his eyes which were holding a lot of emotions some of which were relief and fear.
"Asad"The name was like a fresh breeze between this hot fire. Asad felt like heaven on hearing his first name from her mouth with so much relief and love
Another blast of fire erupted. Zoya hold Asad tightly while Asad held her close to his chest with his both arms securing her like shield. Asad fall down with Zoya on top of him. Slowly, Zoya looked up from his chest to see him looking at her.
"Asad, are you alright"She asked softly
Asad noded and both stood up slowly. Asad hold Zoya near his chest and tried to get his way out of the place. Zoya could hear Asad's heartbeat, she looked at him all concentrating to get her out safe and sound. She smiled slightly even at that moment of crisis she felt delight to see his care. Asad felt Zoya's gaze on him and he looked at her. He could see many emotions in her eyes that he couldn't point out. Asad left Zoya and then took out his jacket and wrapping it around Zoya, he took her in his arms. Zoya circled her hands around his neck and keep on looking at Asad.

Asad make sure to not to be distracted by Zoya's intense gaze because right now her safety was much more important for him.
