Part 2:
I calmed down as Zoya said sweet nothings in my ears and roamed a hand on my back, she made me drank some water and assured me that she is here for me, I took a deep breath and look in her eyes...
~~~~~~
"Zoe is not like Zara, she can't be" said Asad...
"I really hope so Asad but Zara and Zoe, both are same na, your imaginary friends..."
"Nahi, aisa nahi hai... I agree Zara was my imaginary friend but Zoe, she is real one", said Asad firmly...
"Okay then prove it", said Zoya leaning back on the sofa...
"But..."
~~~~~~
I stooped in whatever I was saying, closed my eyes and went through some old memories of Zara... my imaginary friend... I had created an imaginary world where Zara was my girlfriend and I loved her a lot, then Zoya put some sense in my useless brain and helped me out... I came out of my thoughts as I felt someone's hand on cheek, I looked up and found Zoya there... don't know why my eyes got moistened seeing so much concern for me in her eyes, she was my only friend who stood with me through thick and thin, my only family who knew what's good for me...
~~~~~~
"Don't worry Asad, you have already been through this, we'll work out this time too", said Zoya looking in his eyes...
"But Zoya... I still believe Zoe is not my creation, she is for real", said Asad...
"Maybe you are right, I have an idea"
"Bolo", said Asad...
"See, as you told Zoe can't meet, so what if you discreetly Skype with me when you are around her"
"You think it will work???"
"Of course it will work, now go and face it"
"Thank you so much Zoya, I know my thank will not work still you have to deal with this only", said Asad smilingly...
"And with your painting too", said Zoya winking at him...
~~~~~~
I reached home and knocked the door but no one opened it, I knocked again thinking Zoe must be inside only...
~~~~~~
"I think there is no one inside the house" spoke Zoya who was on video call...
"She must be busy with some work", replied Asad...
"Hmm"
~~~~~~
I took out keys from my pocket and opened the door, I placed a finger on my lips and told Zoya not to say anything and started looking for Zoe around the house, I entered in our room but she wasn't there too, I was about to go upstairs when I saw her sitting across the window and I smiled as a relief washed over me, she was typing something on her laptop that's why she didn't come to open the door, I placed my cell phone over the window so that Zoya can see Zoe and in order to capture her full posture, I knocked on the window and attained Zoe's attention, she smiled seeing me and in return I too smiled my dimpled one... I came out of the room and talked to Zoya...
~~~~~~
"Tumhe Zoe kesi lagi, isn't she beautiful???", asked Asad...
"I didn't see anyone Asad", replied Zoya...
"Don't you dare to joke with me, tell me straightly???"
"I swear Asad I didn't see her, koi hota toh nazar aata"
"Iss baar apna chashma laga kar dekhna"
"My eyes are fine, chashma mujhe nahi tumhe lagna chahiye"
~~~~~~
I didn't answer back and made my way towards the garden, I forgot to mention I have a garden on the backside of my house which is adjoined to my bedroom that's why I spotted Zoe from the room only... I stood at some distance and continued video calling with Zoya, I again held my cell phone and showed Zoe working on her laptop...
~~~~~~
"So???"
"I must say your laptop is quite hot", said Zoya...
"It means Zoe is just my illusion", asked Asad...
"Hmm yes, but you don't need to worry Asad, we'll sort out"
"But why only me Zoya"
"It's okay Asad, aisa hota hai, hum bad main baat karenge abhi tumhe..."
"I know mujhe kya karna hai", said a determined Asad...
"YOU MUST GET RID OF HER"
"Hmm"
~~~~~~
I put my cell phone back in the pocket as I saw Zoe coming towards me, she passed me a dimpled smile and dropped a sloppy kiss on my left cheek...
~~~~~~
"How's your day???", asked Zoya...
"It was good, tum btao kya kar rahi thi"
"I was thinking about you only, bohat bhook lagi hai Asad kuch order karte hain na"
"Tum sara din ghar pe hoti ho, ghar ke kaam na sahi khana toh bana liya karo", said Asad annoyingly...
"Asad tum jante ho I don't know how to cook"
"Oh yes, how can I forgot, you don't anything except your so called typing"
"Excuse me, what are you trying to say???", asked Zoya...
"Hmm kuch nahi, wese tum likhti kya rehti ho"
"I'll let you know but on right time only, abhi nahi"
"Nhai, I want to read now only", said Asad picking up her laptop...
"No Asad, tum ne kaha tha you will read when it's complete"
"Haan par"
"No par, you can't read and that's it", said Zoe taking back her laptop...
"Okay, tumhe bhook lagi thi chalo kahin bahir chalet hain, candle light dinner, you and me"
"I can't go out, why are you behaving so strange Asad???"
"Come on Zoe, you can, I'm with you phir kesa darr", assured Asad...
"I'm not going anywhere"
"Don't be a spoilsport Zoe, we are together now, abhi aisy nahi chal sakta you have to come out and face the world", said Asad taking and her hand in his and made his way towards the door...
"Please Asad don't force me, main bahir nahi ja sakti, please don't do this to me, please Asad", pleaded Zoe...
"Okay then, just a little walk"
"Mene kaha na I'm not going anywhere, ek baar main samajh nahi aata kya???"
"But why damn it???"
~~~~~~
I almost shouted and scarred Zoe, I didn't want to scare her but that was necessary, I so wanted to take her out and finish all this drama, don't know why but my heart was saying Zoe is not my illusion, if that so by taking Zoe out, two outcomes were expected, first Zoe will vanish being my imaginary friend and the second, Zoe will prove her being real person, putting my thoughts aside I dragged Zoe ignoring her pleas...
~~~~~~
"Stop it Asad or else..."
"Warna kya haan???"
"I..."
"Main kya"
"I'll kill you", said Zoe pulling out a knife from the set of antique knives which was hanging on the wall...
"Oh really Zoe, tum mujhe maarogi, theek hai maaro mujhe"
"No, I... I can't hurt you", said a crying Zoe...
"Why Zoe, main khud tumhe keh raha hoon, come on be a good girl and hurt me"
"I can't Asad", Zoe dropped the knife and fell on her knees...
"Okay, pinch me at least", said Asad kneeling down in front of her...
"Why are you doing this, can't you see I love you and didn't want to hurt you"
"Pyaar karti ho na, phir chalo mere sath"
"Nahi", snapped Zoe...
"Acha phir thoda or chillao, kya pata tumhari awaz sun kar koi help ke liye aa jaye"
"Tum pagal hogaye ho Asad, suna tum ne, tum pagal hogaye ho"
"Tum ne mujhe pagal kiya hai, what was the need of coming in my life"
"Asad...", whispered a shocking Zoe...
"Sahi keh raha hoon main, yeh sab tumhari wajah se hi hua hai, now I only want you out of my life"
"Main kahi nahi jaongi"
"Tumhe jana hoga Zoe, at any cost", said Asad picking up the knife...
"No, I'll not"
"Please Zoe, don't make it difficult for me"
"Tumhe yeh sab kar ke kya milega Asad???", asked Zoe...
"Zoya", replied Asad smiling evilly...
"Zoya???"
"Haan Zoya, my only family, my friend, my love, Zoya"
"Don't you love me???"
"No"
"Then what I'm doing here??? Tum mujhse pyaar nahi karty toh apne ghar kyun laaye"
"That's what I was saying, you have to go Zoe, tum jaogi tabhi toh Zoya mujhe sahara degi"
"Woh kese"
"I'm sorry but tum yeh sab nahi dekh paogi, tumhe jana hoga Zoya, tumhe jana hoga", said Asad hugging Zoe...
~~~~~~
I hugged Zoe for the last time, she didn't hug me back, why should she after knowing I don't love her, I broke the hug and cupped the side of her face while Zoe was looking at me with lots of questions in her eyes...
~~~~~~
"I'm sorry Zoe"
~~~~~~
Saying so I killed Zoe, I killed her with my own hands just like I had killed Zara... I sighed in relief as I got succeeded in getting rid of my imaginary friend and in return Zoya will sooth my pain like always... I locked the main door and came in my bedroom, I hit the bed and closed my eyes and thought about Zoya and only Zoya...
I was sleeping peacefully when someone knocked the door harshly, I didn't want to wake up but the continuous banging disturbed my peaceful sleep... I opened my eyes and looked around, it was almost noon and I made my way out of the bedroom and opened the door...
~
"Hi, I'm Senior Inspector Ayan... main yahi pass main hi rehta hoon"
"Ji kahiye"
"Kal raat aap ke ghar se kuch awazein aa rahi thi"
"Apko ghalat fehmi hui hogi, main yahan akela rehta hoon"
"But aap ke khilaaf society walon ne complain ki hai, do you mind if a look around???", asked Ayan...
"Okay"
~~~~~~
Ayan being the police officer looked around the house intently and I followed him quietly, suddenly he found few drops of blood on the floor and looked at me but I didn't react in a way he was expecting, he followed the drops and entered in my bedroom, when he didn't find anything there he moved towards the washroom, I tried to stop him but he didn't listen and opened the door of the washroom, he immediately pulled out his gun and aimed at me...
~~~~~~
"Hands up"
"Calm down, yahan aisa kuch nahi hai", said Asad eyeing Zoe's dead body...
"Kon hai yeh???", asked Ayan...
"Kon"
"Yeh or kon", said Ayan pointing towards the body...
"Tum isse dekh sakty ho", asked Asad...
"Are you mad, of course I can see her, tum ne maara hai na isse, kal raat yehi chilla rahi thi haina"
"Haan par tum isse kese dekh sakty ho, she is my creation, my Zoe"
"Creation???"
"Yes creation, Zoe ko mere ilawa koi nahi dekh sakta", said Asad with a wicked smile...
~~~~~~
After that Ayan arrested me for murdering Zoe, I objected and tried to make him understand that Zoe was my creation, my illusion, my imaginary friend but Ayan didn't believe on me... I told him about Zoya and how she was dealing with my illness of living in ANOTHER WORLD', at first he didn't listen to me carefully but seeing me determined he gave me a chance to prove myself... I gave him Zoya's number so that he can ask her on his own, he dialed her number but don't know how come my cell phone started ringing...
I was so confused, I didn't get it what the hell was happening, Ayan and other police officers were able to see Zoe, Zoya was missing and her cell phone was in my pocket, lots of questions were running in my mind... I took Ayan at Zoya's place but there was no one, the caretaker told that place belongs to me and I used to spent some time alone there, before I could have reacted I felt Zoya's presence there, I looked up and found her there, again clad in black dress...
~~~~~~
"Where the hell was you Zoya??? Do you have any idea kya horaha hai, Zoe sab ko nazar aa rahi hai, yeh police wale keh rahy hain mene Zoe ka murder kiya hai aur..."
"Ssshhh..."
"What???", asked Asad sensing something in her dark orbs...
"Look there, yeh officer Ayan bhi tumhari hi creation hai Asad... tumhe laga ke shayad Zoe sach main thi and your brain cooked up new characters and here you are..."
"Abhi mujhe kya karna hoga???"
"Wohi jo Zara ke sath kiya tha, or kal Zoe ke sath kiya", said Zoya coming towards Asad...
"Hmm..."
"YOU MUST GET RID OF HIM"
~~~~~~
I and Zoya shared a look and then we both tilted our heads towards Ayan and his team and smiled evilly...
~~~~~~
NOTE: (for those who didn't get the story line...)
Zoya was Asad's creation or you can say his imaginary friend while Zoe and Ayan were real human beings... Asad was madly in love with his creation Zoya and was ever ready to do anything for her, that's why he murdered Zara, Zoe and Ayan...
Sooo that's it... No proof read...
