Mahira got into the auto-rickshaw... She barely could see, blinded by the tears streaming down her face.
"Chaliye" she said to the rickshaw driver, her voice thick with hurt of leaving him and with what he had said. She broke into heart-wrenching sobs as she pulled away from him. The driver, shocked, glanced into the mirror and he felt sorry for her.
Azad, walked towards the gate and watched her getting further and further away from him. He clasped his chest. The pain was unbearable. It was like his heart was being wrenched from his body. He started rubbing his chest to make the pain go away. He had to keep blinking his eyes to keep his vision clear as he didn't want to lose sight of her till she disappeared out of sight.
"I love you, Mahira. I love you" whispered Azad brokenly. "Even though I love you beyond the end of time, you are not safe with me. I am a monster. I rather you hate me and be safe than love me and be in harm's way. Forgive me, darling for hurting you so bad. I had to. You are the most beautiful woman in this world and beyond to me.".
When Azad could see the auto no more, he raised his eyes to the heavens and cried. "Muala mere, please take care of Mahira. Please, Maula, make sure that she comes to no harm. She is pure. I am the wicked one." He then turned slowly to turn back into the house. He was like the walking dead. He just could not step inside the house. He sat down by the steps.
Kainat was watching the proceedings from a distance and her heart went out to both Azad and Mahira. She was sure that Azad would have sent Mahira away.
"Azad bhaijaan always had a weird sense of logic", she thought to herself. "I have faith in Mahira but I need to get some sense into Azad bhaijaan". She scanned through her playlist, till she found what she wanted and tapped on the play icon.
The song wafted over the air... and Azad hearing this drifted to his moments with Mahira.
(Song from Anwar: Maula mere maula)
(Azad remembered the time when she stared into his eyes...He remembered he was drowning in her eyes..)maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - (4)
My Lord, my God...
aankhein teri - (2), kitni haseen
Your eyes, so beautiful,
(Azad remembered their time together at the old forsaken barn, when the tire had gone flat..)ke inka aashiq, mein ban gaya hoon<
that I have become their lover.
mujhako basa le, iname tu
Give me place in these eyes.
(ishq hai
love is
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2)
My Lord, my God...
ke inka aashiq, mein ban gaya hoon
that I have become their lover
mujhako basa le, iname tu
give me place in these eyes
mujhase yeh har ghadi, mera dil kahe
every moment, my heart says to me
tum hi ho usaki aarzoo
you only are its (heart/moment) desire
mujhase yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
every moment, my lips say to me
teri hi ho sab guftagoo
every conversation about you only
baatein teri itni haseen, main yaad inko jab karta hoon
(Azad smiled as he remembered her smile when he sprayed water to help her clean up when she fell into the mud puddle)your talks are so beautiful, when I remember those
phoolon si aaye, khushaboo
I smell fragrance of flowers
rakh loon chhupa ke main kahin tujhako
let me hide you somewhere
saaya bhi tera na main doon
I will not share even your shadow
rakh loon bana ke kahin ghar, main tujhe
I will keep you in a home that I'll build
saath tere, main hi rahoon
and only I will live with you
zulfen teri, itni ghani
Your tresses, so dense
dekh ke inako, yeh sochata hoonI see them and thinksaaye me, inake main jiyoonI have to live under their shade(ishq hailove ismaula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3My Lord, my God...mera dil yahi bola, mera dil yahi bola,my heart said only thisyaara raaj yeh usane hai mujh par kholaoh dear, it (heart) has divulged the secret thatki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil meinone whose heart is filled with loveusko pasand karta hai maulaa) - 3God loves him too.
He saw her then in front of him. He stared at her in wonder, how could I have ever asked her to go. He stepped closer to her and pulled her tight into his arms, promising himself that he would never let her leave from his sight again. He gently cupped her face in his hands, bent his kissing her forehead, both her eyes, he moved his face slowing down, leaving trails of hot kisses, on his journey to her luscious lips...He lifted his hands and with his fingers, he gently traced her lips...
For those who would like to listen to the song.
