Last Chapter
Amaira pov:
Its been a week now, that my In laws have left but nothing has changed neither did asad contact me nor Aditya's behavior. I was tired of everything now. I heard the bathroom door open, he ignores me and goes to the balcony. Today I totally lost it, I need to get things clear i grab his hands pulling him towards me " don't you think it's high time that you sort this out " " what do you want to sort it out? " " this.. This mess, acting like strangers " " don't you think I'm trying amira?, it's not that easy" " you're trying from whole bloody months you're trying " I shouted because his excuses seemed ridiculous "you don't need to shout okay, even I can raise my voice " I clam down my nerves as it was no use shouting at him I compose myself "so you don't want to talk about This" he walks away telling not any more, and I'm finally done with this now i want to give myself another chance.
Asad pov:
It was almost 7 in the morning when I wake up hearing my door bell constantly ringing. I wondered who was it then assumed maybe it was the maid who had come early today. Rubbing my eyes I get up from the bed to open the door. I stretch my muscles and open the door and lazily land my eyes on the person standing, because of the sunrays I couldn't figure out the face and when I did, my breath blew away. Amaira I was seeing her after whole two long years I froze, my sense stopped working. " you have become even more handsome than before asad" I come out of my trance to notice I was only in my boxer "emm can I come in " " yeah please " I push the door open for her and run to my room and wear a tee and trouser. I come out to see her sitting on the sofa she had worn a denim with pale green top she has not changed much. I go and sit next to her not too close leaving much of space between us, I don't why but I din find it appropriate to sit too close but then she shifts a little closer to me.
"how did you track my address " I say looking down to the floor. "it wasn't that hard I unblocked your Facebook account then I came to know you're are working for TCS industries because your location was in Mumbai I contacted the head office and then I got your address " I could only hmm in her response. She placed her hand on mine and I turned to see her and it was the first time I directly saw into her eyes after years then I immediately turn away " don't you wanna ask why I did"
"why " I say emotionless " can there be a second chance in our life? Can we get back together " she says holding my hands close when I hear something near the door, maybe the wind outside, I actually dint bother. I untangle my hands and get up and stand opposite to her leaning on the pillar " do you even know what are you talking, you're married and.." the words just couldn't come out I ran my hands through the hair frustration was purely visible on my face.
"aditya came to know about us and everything isn't the same anymore " she broke down covering her face with her hands. It pained to see her cry "please don't cry " I quietly sit opposite to her waiting for her to continue. She tells how things have changed between her and her husband, how hard she was trying to cope with everybody and she failed. "I just want to know, if there is any hope between us" "amaira " I just stood I don't know what to tell her the girl with whom I was madly in love then she left and now she is back when I don't want "asad I'm waiting for the answer I came directly from the airport, whatever it is, just be honest " she was staring at me anxiously . I take a deep breath "I have somebody in my life " I say in a go, she looks at me with her eyes welled up.
" what's her name " she asks not meeting my eyes "zoya" a sense of satisfaction flows through me. I tell her about how zoya helped me to overcome her, she has brought life in me which was long gone. When I was telling her about zoya, I was realizing how much I actually love and admire her, the smile refuse to leave my face all through. "so then it is" she stood up "I'm sorry amaira " "no don't be maybe you are the one who I cannot have, zoya is lucky " she says wiping her tears which were constantly running down her cheeks. "go back to aditya he is angry but give him time he loves you and will definitely get back to you " I somehow try to console her she nods her head then walks to the door when I tell her to stop she gives me a puzzled look I hurriedly run back to my room and get her the box, which had all her memories, our pics, our cards I hand it over to her. "so it's all over now " I remain silent she tiptoes and gives me a slight peck on cheek " good bye asad " and she walks off with her luggage.
I stand at the balcony peeping out, I see amaira opening the Box, holding it to her chest then she puts it in the box and throws in the garbage bin maybe that's the place it should be in now. I take out cell dialing ammi number "yeah ammi everything is fine, I just wanted to tell I'm ready to get married" I could hear my mom screaming with joy on the other end finally it was happening.
I put back the phone in my trouser, I turn to get in when I see a bunch of orchid thrown at the main door it was a bouquet of white and purple orchids, I pick it up wondering who left it here. No don't tell me zoya was here, the orchid smelled the fragrance of "chastity " perfume who zoya used. God I could imagine what might happened she might have come saw me and amaira and then made up her own synopsis and left. "she is so stupid " i mutter under my breath dialing her number.
Zoya pov :
Now why is he calling me now, she threw away her phone crying bitterly sitting on the floor leaning to her bed. She woke up with a heavy head she remembered how she was totally drunk and asad taming her tantrums. She decided to meet him, quickly got freshen and picked a bouquet of orchids on the way. When she reached the apartment she saw the door ajar, she would have walked inside normally but stopped when she heard a female voice. She moved little close to the door "can there be a second chance in our life? Can we get back together " she saw asad and amaira hands entangled she trembled, it was amaira she was back in his life. The orchid slipped from her hands, she closed her mouth with her hands to escape the sob and ran as soon as she can.
She again got up and then started putting her clothes in the suitcase which was already filled, she dumped them and tried zipping it but failed. Err the frustration was reaching peaks she tired doing it again when she heard somebody "need some help " there he was with the same trouser tee leaning to the door. "I don't need any help " she started zipping again when asad walked to her "going somewhere " he said leaning close to her " look asad I know why you came here, you can go back to her we are not meant to be" turn and look at me and tell that. He jerked her to face him "its not like what you think zoya" " asad I know you love her and its okay I'm not any second class girl that you can switch anytime and now let me go"
he tightened the grip on her shoulder "second class is that you told right " he smashed his lips on her, zoya couldn't respond but neither made an effort to push him away she felt too weak to do that, asad was hurt, he wanted her to fight with him, argue with him but not leave him. He cupped her face rubbing his thumb on the corner of her lip, while she held his shirt fabric still with her eyes closed "look at me zoya please " she raised her head to look into his eyes, both of them had tears welled up.
" I'm not too good at expressing myself, I don't even know how to explain to you, yes amaira did come to meet me today and I'm glad she did because I was such a fool to deny my feelings for you, today when i met her all I could think was you that how empty my life is without you, you were the one who taught me to live again, don't make me mortal again. I myself din knew when I fell for you and now I can't be a second away from you the moment I knew you left my home you can't imagine how suffocating it was to take a breath without you. " he released her grip from his shirt and then went on his knees "I love you zoya, I know you deserve much better but I'm too selfish to let you go please will you marry me" zoya was dumbfounded to react "have mercy on me my knees are paining " he chuckled. When she sat on her knees hugging him close "so should I take that as a yes?" "it's obviously a yes stupid " and she sealed it with a kiss.
We meet many people in our life, few make place in our heart but not in our life and they remain as the one we cannot have.
