zoya's pov
ITS TOO LATE
I were so tired and my breath came out in puffs heavily. Atleast then I knew how it feels like to be a runner. But look at that cruel driver! He was just not ready to stop that van.
"stop! I say stop!"
To my relief it finally came to a halt. I saw Asad peeping out of the window. He looked in my direction and his eyes twinkled. I waved at him. He gave me his hand and I climbed in the backseat with him.
"pull over" asad ordered the driver when we were close to the river. Leaving the driver and van behind we both walked along the length of the river ghat.
"why u came down panting with ur nose and eyes all running?" he asked me. And I was like seriously? How funny that question sounded!
"asad, I wanted to meet u before u leave."
"why?"
"why? Like you don't know anything?" I stared at him with an unbelievable expression.
"I don't know what ur talking about. zoya, pls go back to home .ur parents might be worried for u."
I literally were close to laugh out loud.
"oh really! Then why did u bring me here with u if I were supposed to be at home?"
He didn't answer and I continued.
"look I know u wanted to meet me too."
He looked at me all surprised.he admitted and nodded.i smiled.
"I don't like regretting asad. I know u also have feelings for me. if not love then something else. but there was something between us." I searched for some reaction from his side but none came. I felt a lump in my throat beginning to form. after few minutes he shook his head.
"zoya, I think it's too late." His eyes were wet too.
I smiled sadly but my frustration took the better of me.
"I know. I know u can't stop for a teenager like me. ofcourse that's fine to move on and make career. but tell me is it my fault that ur one year older than me? ur 18 and m 17! I still has one year left of my high school. but congrats u got selected in IIT. Amazing isn't it? now u'll have to leave and all I can do is let u do that."
"zoya u see I have to go. u can join me next year in IIT."
"no I can't!" I yelled aloud.
"I can't coz I don't want to be an enginner.i will not join u." I sniffed.
Asad's face became one like that of a corpse. motionless. he gazed at me and asked
"so why did u come now? What do you want?"
"I told u I hate regretting and hence m gonna tell u my biggest secret." I carried on with honesty drooling from my eyes.
"I love you asad." And saying that I closed my eyes. there was only the sound of winds oozing around us.the river was silent surprisingly. Then I heard his steps coming closer. my eyes opened and met his wet eyes. there was yet a sparkle in his eyes.
"I don't want to regret either. i don't want this heaviness of my secret for a lifetime. i too want to get rid of this burden on my chest.I love you zoya. and I will always love you."
My tears gave in and I fell on the moist soil. he too came down and we smiled through our tears. we lied on our backs and watched the night show of stars in the sky.
Lying here with you so close to me...
It's hard to fight these feelings...when it feels so hard to breath...
Caught up in this moment...
Caught up in ur smile...
"asad...say that u'll miss me"
He stared at me and smiled "always...till I die.."
I gasped and shut his mouth placing my hand over his lips.
I've never opened up to anyone...
So hard to hold back...
"dare not say that again...to anyone" I said firmly.
He took my hand in his and kissed it gently. "never"
I smiled at him.
He closed his eyes and came closer. my lips parted automatically. his hands settled to cup my face and his lips were now inches away from mine. my eyes went wide...
He stopped and opened his eyes "baby what is it? Wudn't u give me a chance to take something cherishable with me? wudn't it be memorable for u? it's our first and probably the last kiss"
I saw the sadness in his eyes and instantly felt guilty. how stupid of me!
We don't need to rush this...
"it's not that.i...asad I may be bad at it" I flushed and dropped my gaze.
Lets just take it slowly...
He cupped my face and again came closer. his lips zeroed the distance between us. it was so soft and gentle kiss. almost like a whisper. i felt the love he has hidden all of those years we knew each other. what was surprising was that I responded to that kiss. i poured all my emotions in that. the love, the fear of losing him, well I was still gonna let him go but atleast now I confessed and I wudn't have to bear this regret my whole life.
Just a kiss on ur lips in the moonlight ...
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright...
No I don't wanna mess this thing up...
I don't wanna push too far...
how ironical moment was that! Firstly our lips were connected but it was the kiss of goodbye!
Secondly, it wud have been our love life's beginning but unfortunately it was the end.
Where it wud have been a start to secret-meetings, it was going to be our separation.
Just a shot in the dark that u just might...
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life...
So, baby m alright...
With just a kiss goodbye...
I don't know for how long we'd been kissing.it only broke when there was an urgent need of oxygen.
"oops" I whispered.
"that's an understatement." Asad said.
I know that if we give this a li'll time...
It'll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find...
It's never felt so real...no it's never felt so right...,
He again smacked his lips on mine. it was the gay kiss of our joy and celebration of this beautiful night where the only witness was those winds,the river,the soil,the sky,the stars,the moonlight. my hands reached the nape of his neck and soon the kiss became passionate. i was enjoying that.
So baby m alright with just a kiss goodnight...
When we finally broke apart I gazed at him with my twinkling eyes.
"u see. U weren't that bad" he reminded me.
I giggled softly "guess our secrets are no more the secrets"
"yes they aren't between us but for this world they shud be." He again reminded me.
It dawned on me that it was time for him to go. i hugged him for my dear life.
No I don't want to say goodnight...
"I wish our families wudn't have been that narrow-minded. their thoughts and beliefs are of such older era that I cudn't bring myself to tell u the truth once. i loved u zoya since a long time "he chuckled "maybe u were my first adolescent crush if boys have it"
I giggled feeling content in his arms. "I don't know about boys but u are my first and the last love. since my adolescence. i just also wish if it weren't for fear of my abbu, I wud've confessed soon and maybe we've got some time together. but now u'll go"
My voice cracked and he hugged me tighter comforting me.
"I wish life cud be easy" he said.
"it wud have if I haven't come to you. m sorry but I came coz..."
"coz u don't like regretting. i know." He completed my sentence.
I sniffed "when did I become so selfish?"
"no ur not selfish. i am. I was leaving without telling u. you have the courage to run from ur home and come to me to say the truth. ur the bravest I know zoya." He pecked my forehead and helped me to stand up.
That stupid driver came running "asad baba, lets go, dilshaad ma'am ordered to reach Gwallior by tomorrow night. if the road's not good, we'll get late."
Asad nodded "m coming"
i wiped his tears and he wiped mine.
"no tears pushpa!" asad tried to joke and we both smiled.
he started to turn around but I stopped him.
"one minute." I took the wristband from my hands and broke the blue colored heart.
"aaah!" asad faked pain but I smacked his shoulders.
"don't worry , heart's not broken. It's the common heart we have. half is urs and half's mine."
Next I took out a thread from my dupatta and drew it from that half heart.
"how moviestic!" he commented.
I stood on my toes and tied it in his neck. "that's not a word mr. AAK." I pecked his cheeks and whispered
"they say there's no age for love. so it isn't applicable to oldies only but to teens too. and m sure it wasn't infatuation .the permission to live in my heart is granted to u only and nobody else." I waved my wristband in front of him. He kissed the broken heart and then the other part tied around his neck.
I know its time to leave ...
But u'll be in my dreams...
Tonight
Tonight..
Tonight...
"goodbye" I smiled at him.
"best of luck for future . goodbye" he placed his lips on mine one last time and left without looking back.
With a kiss goo...dnight...
I stared at his retreating back till my vision blurred due to the tears rolling down my cheeks. i wiped them and sighed looking up.
I saw the shooting star and made a wish of letting the success at his feet always.
Sometimes u have to let go.i'll always love him.i'll always miss him coz I know there can't be another like him.its time to move on and start a new life but sadly he wudn't be the part of it.
