PART THREE (A)

They stood there in each other's embrace, seeking solace for their stabbed hearts...

Zoya was continuously crying, mumbling sorry to him, after some time he tried to entangle her from him but she was not ready. She held him more tightly as her sobs get louder. He was so numb; he can't see her like this. but then she looked so broken, it seems like she was dyeing inside with the guilt & it was needed for her to throw that all out from her system, he thought.

He waited for her to calm down, her sobs subsided & she looked up at him detangling herself from his embrace.

"Zoya..., he just whispered & she looked down. He made her sit on the sofa & get a glass of water for her. Making her drank the water he placed the glass on table & sat on his knees in front of her, taking her face in his palms he looked into her eyes, again tears filled in her eyes, he brushed them with his thumbs, "Zoya don't cry please, I can't see you like this", he said.

"I m sorry Asad... I m so sorry...I...

"Ssshh...Zoya enough of this sorry, please relax.." He said cutting her words in between. He opened his mouth to say something but his phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, yes Prasad...yes I know...hmm...ok" He cut the call & closed his eyes irritated. He had to go to the airport, he can't cancel that meeting.

He just threw his phone on sofa & then dipping his face in his palms inhaled deeply.

Zoya watched his every move, his every expression...she scrunched her brows remembering something... "Asad... she called him & he looked back at her.

"Your flight for Delhi...Allah Miya, you are getting late Asad, Go, you may miss your flight otherwise". She said getting up from sofa.

He got up & looked at her. "But Zoya... he said holding her hands in his own

"No Asad, we can talk later, now you have to go, please...I promise we will talk when you come back". She said & closed her eyes assuring him.

He breathed deeply. Releasing her hands from his hold he hugged her.

"Ok Zoya but I don't want to see these tears in your eyes, I will come back in two days", he said releasing her from hug.

"Go now Asad, I will be fine", she said walking with him to the door.

"Zoya give me your phone", he turned back from the door & said.

Zoya looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Give me Zoya", he said again.

He saved his number in her contacts & making a ring on his own number returned her phone back. "I will call you", he said & she just smiled at him.

He left halfhearted saying goodbye & she stood there watching at his retreating back.

...

He got into flight & settled into his sit. Zoya's tear stricken face was disturbing him whole the way to the airport. He was feeling angry for his helplessness today. He wants to be with her, to ask her the reason for her decision ten years ago. He now knows that there should be something big behind her decision.

He was feeling some peace after Ten years, in her embrace. He remembered how she was reluctant to leave him that moment... & his mind went to the day when the first time she hugged him...

Flashback...

His Friend Rehaan had invited him that day. Rehaan was his best friend, but now they are studying in different colleges so he wanted to introduce Asad to his new friends from his college.

Asad entered the caf & stood there looking around for Rehaan , spotting him at one table he walked towards the table, when he reached there , he stopped hearing the loud sound of chair, the girl jumping from the chair ran into him & hugged him tightly.

"Please hatao use, please...plzzz... that chipkali (lizard)..." she mumbled frighten & clutching his shirt tightly. He saw back at the table & all her friends are laughing at her & Rehaan was there holding a chipkali in his hands.

"um...see that is not real..." he said trying to free himself from her clutch. But she was not ready to hear anything.

"Hallo, Ms Chipkali leave me please", he said in a bit loud voice & she looked up at him still clutching his shirt, a bit frightened. But when she realized what he called her she got angry. "How dare you mister, u called me chipkali", she said glaring at him.

He came back to the present hearing some announcement. He still remembered her frighten innocent, brown animated eyes & then that anger filled glares she gave him all that evening, but today her innocent eyes were not the same, there he saw so much pain, a guilt, he closed his eyes remembering her state, "I will make everything fine Zoya". He mumbled opening his eyes.

...

Asad left & Zoya stood there for a moment looking at him.

"Zoya, what happened?" Mr. Kapoor asked entering her cabin. "how was the Interview?, I hope it was fine with Ready- to- blast Mr. Khan". Mr. Kapoor said & Zoya smiled hearing the name Mr. Kapoor gave to Asad.

"Yes Mr. Kapoor It was nice", Zoya said walking towards her chair.

"Why you are looking so distraught, are you ok?" Mr. Kapoor asked looking at Zoya.

"Yes Mr. Kapoor, I m fine just a head ach, don't worry", Zoya said assuring him.

"Ok then I will postpone the today's meeting; you need some rest I think", Mr. Kapoor said getting up from his chair & walked towards the door. Zoya smiled looking at him. Mr. Kapoor was always there for Zoya as a guide, as a father figure & she thanked allah for sending a person like him in her life.

She leaned back in her chair & closed her eyes. Today she was feeling peace after ten years. She smiled cherishing that solace in his embrace. She remembered that ambitious Asad & today he achieved his dream...

Flashback

He called her to meet him, he sounds so happy that day.

"What is the matter Asad, You sound so excited today", Zoya asked him.

"Ohh yes Zoya, I am so happy today, you know last week I participated in that competition held in Mumbai?"

"Yes Asad, I know, but what...wait.. your designs are selected?", Zoya asked excitedly.

"Yes Zoya, & I m so happy", Asad said holding her hands. "It s just a first step to my dream Zoya, now I m waiting to get selected in M.Arch program...he was continuously talking about his dream with enthusiasm & Zoya just stood there looking at him.

"Why are you staring at me like this Zoya", he asked when he noticed her staring at him.

"I am just imagining that how you will react when you will get the Best Architect Award one day". She said smiling at him.

He just came close to her & holding her by her waist twirled her around, "you know, I will do this", he said as he twirled her happily.

"Asad please stop...stop Asad...I am feeling dizzy.

"Zoya I want to celebrate my every success with you", he stopped & said, holding her hands in his.

She just smiled looking in his eyes.

Flashback end

Today you achieved your dream Asad, but that happiness, satisfaction is not there in your eyes. Today I just saw rage, emptiness in your eyes", She thought & tears rolled down on her cheeks. "I am sorry Asad...I am sorry...she mumbled.

She open her eyes hearing her phone ringing on the table. Pushing back the tears she picked up her phone. Asad...the name was flashing on the screen. She received the call

"Hello...Zoya...are you ok?" he asked worriedly as soon as she received the call.

"Yes Asad I m fine, you don't panic please" She can guess from his voice that how much he was worried for her. "You reached Delhi?" she asked further.

"Yes, just waiting for the driver to come & Zoya... suddenly he remains silent.

"What Asad?" Zoya asked worriedly.

"woh...nothing Zoya...I will call you at night, um...at 9, is that fine with you?" He asked & waited for her reply.

"Yes Asad that is fine", Zoya said after a moment.

"Okay then, take care & phir se rona mat please", he said & cut the call spotting his driver at some distance.

"Asad how much I hurt you, I don't deserve your care Asad", Zoya said staring at her mobile & stood up to wrap up for the day.
