PART 1
Washing her face once again from the cold water she came out of washroom and wiped her from the towel...as she lowered the towel her eyes directly landed on the big beautiful frame of her and him in the center of the room... her eyes moistened but she fought back the tears that intented to spill out any moment
One month had passed and it already felt like ages since he walked out from those doors of this apartment...an apartment that held all the memories of their last one and a half year of marriage...
This two room apartment with one beautiful balcony was not just an apartment...it was her life, a house which she had made a home with so much love and care...
Her eyes landed on the balcony that is joined to her bedroom... the same place where they had lied for hours at nights starring at the stars with their hands intertwined talking about each and every thing
Then her eyes landed on the room, once again at the big frame in the center...tears were already rolling down her cheeks...this room had those memories, when they became one soul... when he marked her as his but where was he today? Nowhere ... she wiped that another fresh tear that rolled down her cheeks
She walked out in the small living room and her eyes landed on the other room beside her bedroom... the room they thought would be for their kids when they will become parents...even though there was no such news till now but they had dreamed about it since they were together...for him being a father was the best feeling ever...she shook her head trying to look away from the room and also trying to close the doors of those memories in other way challenging her tears to not to come out anymore and make her week anymore even though she knew that she can't be week anymore
Zoya sat on the chair by the counter taking her head in her hands... she don't wanna think about all over it once again... it just increase the pain.. she wonder if he is going through the same...
'No...' her heart screamed 'why would he even think about her forget from what she is going through ... it all happened because of him only' it continued
Yes...her heart was right... it happened because of him.. he was selfishenough to leave her all alone.. to break her...she rested her head on the counter drifting back to her life called past
Asad and zoya met at a very boring business party thrown by their fathers Rashid Ahmed Khan and Gaffur Faroqui at Khan Mansion...both were taking step forward with a new deal...a deal that already seemed successful as two most successful business men of India working over it together
Where asad hiding his irritation, along with his father met few business associates with whom he will be working in future as finally he had returned from New York and is all set to join his father...asad mother was looking after the arrangements and also meeting the family of every guest.. zoya while as alone sitting in one corner sipping her orange juice passing one after one boring comment at this not so cool party while gaffur, her dad was busy with his new great friend...Mr.Rashid Ahmed Khan and his business
Finally giving up to tolerate this she walked out of the Khan Mansion into the garden of that same mansion... busy playing angry birds on her mobile she didn't really realized when one handsome guy sat beside her busy in his own activities
They both were oh so busy in their most important work of playing angry bird on their Android mobiles that until they let out an unpleasant sound of losing the level they weren't even aware about someone else beside them
They looked up and then at each other...the tune after losing a level of angry birds played and then they realized that they were playing the same game, eyeing other's mobile a little more they got to know that they are on same level .. 'this is such a difficult level' they said out together out of embarrassment and then started laughing at the silliness they felt
After few minutes they were chatting and laughing as if they knew each other for years... later when they were called in back...they were together all the time...
with zoya done with her degree and asad still having time in joining office they were free for the next few days and started to spend it with each other..and in those few days they got to each other really well... they felt attracted towards each other and being positive towards life and feelings it didn't took them time to realize what the other person is meant to them
They had confessed their love to each other after two months of that party and had informed their families too which includes dilshaad, Rashid and gaffur who were really happy with it
They got married and after returning from their honeymoon they shifted into a two room apartment because rashid and gaffur were going to London for some weeks with dilshaad along with them and also gaffur had gifted zoya that apartment as her wedding gift...he wished to gift her a big palace... a big property after all she was his only daughter but zoya being zoya choosed an apartment over it all
Life was beautiful...really beautiful...they were in love and had made this house a home with it.. asad started to work and managed everything well...gaffur business was also doing well... all was ok.. all were happy until gaffur suffered from an heart attack which caused his sudden death... reason were unknown about his sudden ruined health
Zoya was shattered...gaffur and asad were her only family and she had lost her father...she remembered that they had talked over call the day before yesterday...he sounded fine but then...she didn't knew how and why
Asad consoled her and was with her as her support...she was at gaffur's place as all the men went to grave yard..she was already broken when she heard two of her distant relatives conversation
'Poor zoya..she is all alone after Gaffur bhaisab...he was her only family.' The lady exclaimed sadly 'asad is with her haseena' another woman said as if reminded her that zoya is married 'uffu you silly lady..don't you know asad's father and gaffur bhaisab were partners but now when their is no gaffur bhaisab that means those Khan's aren't going to get anymore profit from them...I m damn sure soon asad is going to leave her...' 'are you serious haseena..Ya Allah may zoya have those guts to accept the reality... may Allah help the poor soul' the other woman said, her voiced dipped with concern
Zoya who heard them denied to accept this and shrugged her shoulder at their useless conversation even though she was really tired to do that to...Soon asad had returned with empty hands...she realized that her abu is now peacefully sleeping for forever...her heart ached thinking about the pain he had gone through
If all these painful shocks weren't enough zoya's pain increased morw as she got to know about the destruction of ZF construction...gaffur's lawyer who informed zoya that now she have no property of gaffur's left to be named as her's... he lost everything..not even this house...
Zoya was shattered...as she fell on to the floor unable to accept that this news must had been the reason of her abu's demise... she let out a painful scream as she tried to tell the world that property meant nothing but her abu was everything...he should have stayed... they could have build it all again besides money and property never were zoya's happiness...it was the time and love gaffur showered zoya with
Asad ran by her side and supported her...he was there... it had been just one month to their marriage that time and it took zoya a month or so to finally come out of the past and accept the evil reality of her abu's death...asad was always by her side all the time she suffered and that time she knew that those two ladies were wrong...her asad loves her a lot
May be She was kind of way too much proud of her so called love and him that in next few weeks her heart shattered once again.. she realized that may be they were right... just 3-4 months had passed to gaffur's death which she had accpeted... all was going back to normal, they were again going back to their same routine...spending more time together..loving each other...caring for each other
But it all changed in few weeks when she suddenly felt a strange change in asad's behavior...he started to get distant from her...day by day it become more and more clear to her that may be asad was done with her
Her world shattered completely and totally when one month back she confronted him
'Why are you doing this asad...why? You love me right... and I love you..what is this in between us then...why are you getting distant from me day by day...why? What did I do to deserve that? ' She cried as she sat on the couch painfully but his showed nothing...he stood there in front of her like a robot and starred at her as if she was speaking in some other language
'Why are you quite damn it... tell me? Tell me that what I heard on the funeral day was false...tell me that you didn't married me for the business of your's...that you are leaving coz I am of no use to you people...coz my abu died and I got nothing...tell me asad... and may be you were still with because you people thought I will get everything back but poor you I have absolutely nothing...am I right? why are you quite...is it true...did your abu told you to break me in this way...was this your and his plan...is it?' She shouted on the top of her lungs...her head pained but she ignored it she completely ignored
She took in a breath..a long breath... she stood up and walked close to him... placing her one hand on his chest and caressed his cheek from the other hand she looked deep into his eyes to get any answer...but he seemed mum like his own behaviour... 'asad please don't do this to me... please I have no one to call mine now excpet you' she whispered and he flinched... in all the last few minutes he finally responded to something she had said...or cried out
'You do have...don't act innocent zoya..I was wrong about you but I know you inside out now...' he roared and she gasped with the sharpness in his tune.. he held her by her shoulder aggressively making her cry in pain 'I don't care what you think is the reason...you know what...assume what you actually are assuming...yes I married you just to to increase my business...yes it was a deal...deal of your happiness and my success..in this deal... Some one have to loose and your happiness lost...I won...got that ..' he said harshly...his voice dipped in hatred...
Her eyes moistened a lot more while he just walked to the door...she feard...he was leaving... No her heart screamed but she couldn't utter anything
'I am walking out of this house Zoya and your life too... we are done and I am heading for divorce...indeed a permanent solution' he had told her and left leaving her devastated...broken and alone...
She flinched at the memories... she looked around the kitchen...she wanted to eat something and that's why she had walked out from her room before she got lost in the past...but now she wasn't hungry anymore
In past one month she hadn't stepped her foot outside the house...she was inside all the time crying over the past and her loss.. 'you can't sit inside like this for all your life Zoya...nothing can be mend... zoya be strong...walk out of here, face the world and hunt a job...you need money to stay alive...'she said to herself because even the food and ingredients she had in her house were ending...she really need money and she felt a dull pain In her chest... money is indeed important to everyone...so much that no one thinks twice before destroying anyone
Putting aside her thought she still tried to get something inside her ... she remembered the milk the milkman delivered this morning and decided to do something with it... even though she made something to eat and fill her up but with her head flooded with the memories she hardly ate anything
she tried to think how she had spend the last one month...it seemed a long time.. she looked around at the state her beautiful apartment was in...it was a complete mess... tears rolled her cheeks as she realized that it all ruined...her sobs getting louder with each second and hours passed as she kept on thinking and crying over her past and her life...how she was crushed by her own love...her life
Later that day zoya felt like fainting...her stomach growled and her head pained... she ran into the bathroon as she felt like puking everything out she hardly took in this morning
Once she was done she walked out and sat on the small bed of the other room she once dream to be her kid's room... kid? She stopped breathing... she felt something weird...she knew it must be out of hunger but she wasn't convinced as their are few more signs she finally noticed which confirmed her doubts...
Was She? No she shouldn't.. he will never come back...how will she manage it all alone... No her heart screamed yet again and before she realize darkness was all around her as she fell back on the bed
Asad ranged the bell more then twice or thrice and waited impatiently after each but there was no response...he frowned did she knew that he would be coming here to give her these papers.. or is she not at home? Did she left with...he stopped not wanting to think anymore he shook his head and rang the bell again... panick rose with in him as he tried to shook off the insecurities from his mind... even if she left he don't give a damn about it...he thought or rather screamed in his mind
After Giving up as the patience he had in him died he took out his keys of this apartment and unlocked the door with them.. he walked inside and frowned as he looked around the mess the house was in... it looked like it wasn't cleaned from so long...he eyed in the kitchen... and everything else..nothing in the house was in shape... he realized that she is nowhere here...the same insecurity making it's way as he looked around for her... he then went to the bedroom which was once their's... she wasn't here..not in balcony too
'Zoya' he called out and kept on calling her name until he left that room and went to the other...he froze...their she was lying lifelessly on the bed... 'zoya' he whispered once more horrified about the state she was in
