PART TWO (B)
They enjoyed...laughed, joked, and sometimes got emotional... Over the four years they bonded very well...seven of them were always there for each other in four years...countless times they fought stupidly but it never comes in between their friendship...And now they have to part their ways and everyone was finding it difficult...
Whole day they tried to make each moment memorable...As the night started to get darker Rehaan insisted to get back to their respective tents...but suddenly Zoya rose with excitement...
"No Rehaan...some more time please..."
"Haan Rehaan...and no one is sleepy..." Najma too joined Zoya and everyone agreed
"Shaad, ek romantic duet ho jaye...please..." Zoya asked and Shaad's eyes narrowed
"I want to sing and don't look at me like that...I can sing, you know...aisa kuch bhi nahi jo Zoya Farooqui nahi kar sakti"
"Hmm...okay..." Shaad trailed off looking towards Rehaan and Ayaan and again looked back to Zoya, "but... not with me, Asad ke sath ek evergreen classic...sama bhi hai aur chahat bhi..." he stood up adjusting his guitar, "Come on guys...dekhte hai chahat kya rang lati hai..." he winked asking four of them to dance and turned towards Asad.
Asad glared at him and looked towards Zoya who was looking at both of them with confusion, "Shaad what that mean?" She asked
"Nothing...you'll never understand" Shaad shook his head and looked towards Asad, "Your favorite one..."
Asad gave him a look of denying but Shaad encouraged him and strummed the strings leaning back to the pillar...while other two couples started to dance with the slow music that filled around...
Turning Asad leaned on the railing...looking at peaceful night...cloudy sky...glimpses of moon through thin clouds...cool breeze...as it touched against the surface of lake's water...the ripples ruffled the stillness of the surface...shattering the moon's reflection...
"Asad..." Zoya called out but Shaad gestured her to stop and she gave him a confused look...he just blinked his eyes when the lyrics reached his ears and he raised his brows asking Zoya to join Asad...
Yeh Raatein Yeh mausam nadi ka kinaara...
yeh chanchal hawaa...
She turned back smiling...before carry on...
Kaha do Dillon ne ki milkar kabhi hum...naa honge judaa...
Both stared at each other...and lyrics came out in harmony...
Yeh Raatein Yeh mausam nadi ka kinaara...
yeh chanchal hawaa...
Walking towards Asad she stood beside him...watching Ayaan-humeira and Rehaan-Najma as they moved rhythmically with the lyrics...a small smile on her lips...her stresses blowing with the wind...Asad moved his gaze to her side as she kept singing...
Yeh kya baat hai aaj ki chandani mein...
Ke hum kho gaye pyaar ki raagini mein...
Stepping in front of her Asad forwarded his hand and her eyes widened with surprise...
Yeh baahon me baahen...yeh behaki nigaahein...
Lo aane lagaa zindagi ka mazaa...
She placed her hand in his and both swayed slowly with the music as lyrics played on both of their lips...
Yeh Raatein Yeh mausam nadi ka kinaara...
yeh chanchal hawaa...
Asad let her go...his gaze fixed on her as she kept twirling around...
Sitaaron ki mehfil ne kar ke ishaara...
Kaha ab to saara jahaan hai tumhara...
Asad held her hand pulling her to himself...she leaned back to him placing her head on his shoulder while his hand wrapped around her... He turned her to face him and she smiled...as the lyrics continued with the music...
Mohabbat javaan ho...khula aasmaan ho...
Kare koi dil aarazu aur kya...
Yeh Raatein Yeh mausam nadi ka kinaara...
yeh chanchal hawaa...
Ayaan and Shaad stood at each side of Asad... Ayaan nudged him and he startled...coming out from his dream land... Looking around, his eyes caught her as she moved around with the music and he shook his head...realizing it was a dream...
Shaad gestured him to dance with Zoya but he denied...the same moment Zoya turned forwarding her hand and lost in the moment he moved towards her...
Qasam hai tumhe tum agar mujhse ruthe...
Placing his hand in her he sang as if promising her...
Rahe saans jab tak...yeh bandhan na toote...
She placed her hand on his shoulder and his hand moved around her waist...
Tumhe dil diya hai...yeh vaada kiya hai...
Sanam main tumhari rahungi sadaa...
He stared in her eyes as a small smile lifted on his face and she raised her brows at his look...he blinked his eyes shaking his head and both sang in harmony...moving around smoothly with the music
Yeh Raatein Yeh mausam nadi ka kinaara...
yeh chanchal hawaa...
Kaha do Dillon ne ki milkar kabhi hum...naa honge judaa...
"Zoya..." he gazed in her eyes as the song ended... "I..." he paused and took a deep breath...
She looked at him quizzically... "Kya baat hai Asad"
You are such a boring Asad...pata nahi tumhari life me jo ladki ayegi wo kaise manage karegi...' You know Asad, jis se bhi mujhe pyaar hoga na vo sabse alag hoga...uska andaaz sabse juda hoga...I wish vo jaldi se meri life me aa jaye..." Her words pealed in his mind and he shook his head, "Kuch nahi"
"Tum bhi na...pata nahi suddenly tumhe kya ho jata hai..." She said moving back and turned, "You know guys" she walked towards others, "I am going to miss this all fun...and miss you all..." sitting beside Humeira she said
"No more emotional talk Zoya...still there are two more days, abhi se reminder nahi chahiye..." Najma said sitting on other side of Humeira
"Umm...nahi guys...I am leaving tomorrow..." She said and everyone looked at her shocked
"Tomorrow...where Zoya?" Ayaan asked and glanced at Asad asking him if he knows anything about it.
Asad shook his head in denial and looked back at Zoya, "Aren't you come with us...back to Bhopal?"
"Nahi Asad...Ammi Abbu kal New York ja rahe hai...Zeenat Aapi ke pas...and I have decided to go with them...jana to hai, phir delay kyun karu..."
"What do you mean?" Shaad inquired this time
"Wo...main New York shift ho rahi hu..." She revealed and everyone's gaze turned towards Asad... She didn't understand their reaction and looked towards Asad confused
She watched him as he shrugged his shoulders and shoved his hands in jeans pockets, "Toh wapis ane ka plan nahi hai"
"I don't know...dekhungi..." She said casually, "Aur Aapi toh pucho mat...she is on mission, she wants me to settle there only..." She sighed
"That means you are planning to settle there already...? Are you hiding something?" Najma asked while others gaze fixed on Zoya
"umm...nothing like that...but they are asking me to get engaged to Jeeju's business partner's son...and I am not ready that's it...so it's a big task in hand to make them understand..."
"And what if they won't...will you get engaged then..." Humeira asked suspiciously
"No way Humie...that is nowhere in my plan right now...and you know me na...I can't take such big decision just like that"
For a moment no one reacted...and noticing everyone's sober expressions she got up, "Now please aise react mat karo jaise ki hum kabhi milenge hi nahi..."
"Wo bas we are just shocked, tum asie suddenly kal hi ja rahi ho..." Humeira said getting up and hugged her while Najma also joined her.
"koi nayi bat nahi hai...you are best in giving shocking surprises like this after all..." Shaad taunted walking towards her when Rehaan interrupted
"Leave it Shaad...wo ja rahi hai kal..."
"You know ye tumhare taunts na bohat miss karungi" She said moving towards shaad and hugged him
"Kaash tum samajh bhi pati..." He mumbled and moving back she looked at him confused, "Kuch nahi...bas samajh nahi raha hu tumhara kya hoga...waha Asad nahi hoga har bat me tumhari help karne ke liye..."
"Haan to...I can manage, bachhi nahi hu main..." she snapped and Shaad raised his brows, "Okay...I agree I am quite dependent on him but that doesn't mean ke main Asad ke bina life manage hi nahi kar paungi..." "Right Asad?" she asked turning towards Asad and he nodded looking up
"Haan...kyun nahi, bilkul manage kar logi...I know bohat ache se manage karogi...remember, koi kisi pe depend nahi hota...it's just the matter of time..." he couldn't complete his words feeling the heaviness
"Hmm...but that doesn't mean tumhe pareshan nahi karungi...you know main kabhi time nahi dekhti tumhe call karne ke liye...and I won't follow any formality in that case..." She warned walking towards him, "I am going to miss you..." She hugged him...but his hands didn't move...his gaze met with others...they were asking him to tell her what he feels...
He blinked his eyes in denial and his hands reciprocate her actions...as he hugged her back...to let her go...
"I'll miss you too..." He said as she moved back
"Yeh ek smile ke sath nahi bol sakte..."
His lips stretched in a small smile and she shook her head, "Tumhara kuch nahi ho sakta Asad...I really wish ki tumhe koi aisa mile jo tumhe hasna sikha de..."
"Aashuu...I just can't do it..." a voice from behind brought him back from the memory land and as his eyes caught the sight in front he broke into giggles
"What so funny?" Suhaani glared at him and placed her things on the table before hopping on the couch
He walked towards her trying to keep his face solemn but she looked up at him and again he burst into laughter
"Aashu...I know you want to fulfill her wish but that doesn't mean you should laugh without any reason like crazy..." She snapped crossing her arms
Asad pinched the tip of her nose, "You are the reason I am laughing for" he said and she narrowed her eyes, "Look at you, aisa huliya banaogi toh aur kya kar sakta hu main" He asked and made her look in the mirror... Her face was decorated with different colors
"Hawww...yeh..." She rubbed her face...
"Isn't it funny my little clown...perfect..." he teased tapping on her nose
"Aashu..." Turning back she looked at him sternly and he mumbled sorry holding his ear, "Help me now..." she ordered and he shook his head
"How I am going to complete it Aashu...muhe nahi aati drawing...and look at this...I don't understand this color combinations...it looks horrible..." she whined walking towards the couch again
"Ohh...it's a big problem then" He said sitting beside her
"How could it be a problem when you are here..." she rose on her knees and moved forward
"No...Suhaani...stay away..." He warned moving back knowing well that she was going to rubbed her hands that had paint on it, on his cheek, "First go and wash your hands...then we'll think about your problem"
"Wow...it's beautiful" She applauded looking at the paper after he helped her to complete her drawing
"Aashu...Dadda had promised me that he will teach me drawing...but..." She said sadly looking at the drawing
"Hey..." moving forward Asad cupped her face, "You know your Dadda is looking at you and he must be happy that you have improved your drawing skills..."
"Hmm..." she hummed wrapping her hands around his neck.
"What's the matter Suhaani...?" He asked rubbing her back sensing her getting emotional, he was aware of the reason though... She always get upset when Asad has to go out for more than one day... She tried to put forward a strong face always but at some moments she just couldn't help...
"Aashu... I'll miss you...two days is a very long time..." she said and he moved back
"Hmm...then why you are forcing me to go...I'll not go if you..."
"Nooo..." She yelled before Asad could complete his sentence, "I'll be okay...I promise..."
"Hmm...waise Kal Ammi bhi aa jayegi...and it's not two but three and half days...I'll back on Monday afternoon..."
"No...on Sunday me and..." she squealed but suddenly stopped and he looked at her narrowing his eyes, ""Umm...wo...I thought you'll be back on Sunday..."
"Really, look at me..." he asked as she looked other way, "I know you are hiding something..."
"Nahi Aashu..." She said getting down, "Main kya chupaungi...you know na when I am hungry I just blabbered stupidly...now come give me my Pizza..." She said running out of the room
"You and your Pizza..." Asad shook his head and followed her out...
*********
"You know I want Pizza...and without it I can't concentrate on anything...how could you forgot Asad..." She yelled sitting beside him and he covered his ears with his palms
"See...I perfectly remember that you called me as you have some queries about project and you didn't mention anything about Pizza..." He stated taking a book that placed on the table in front
"Keep it aside..." she snatched the book from his hand and kept on the table, "I don't have to mention about it in the first place...you know that I need it...and jab tak pizza nahi milega I won't start working on project..." She said stubbornly and he sighed
"Okay let it be then...your project, your grades...jo chahe karo..." He said getting up
She didn't move from her place when he walked out
After fifteen minutes she grinned looking at the Pizza box on the table and looked up
"I knew it..." she squealed as he sat beside her
"You and your Pizza..." he mumbled pressing his temple
"Umm...it's heaven...tum nahi samjhoge..." she said opening the box and stuffing her mouth with pizza slice
"Hehhh..." She sighed looking at the pizza box, "shayad main hi kabhi samajh nahi payi Asad..." she mumbled and walked out in the balcony... A memory flashed in her mind and she lost the desire to taste her pizza today...
Her gaze was fixed on the sky that lit up with twinkling stars...cool breeze gushed making her silky stresses flew back and she closed her eyes listening the music of wind in the calmness around... She was in India after whole three years...and now she has to face him... She stay away from everyone for three years but a week before she got call from Humeira... Humeira and Najma somehow managed to find about her whereabouts and her contact number... Both forced her to come for a get-together Ayaan had arranged in Mumbai... She doesn't want to join...but then somewhere deep in her heart she want to meet her friends...and she want to see him too... She landed a day before as she needed to prepare herself before she face him...
"Zoya..." she sighed as someone patted on her shoulder
"You okay..."
"Yes Humie...it just that I am feeling little nervous..."
"It will be okay Zoya..." Humeira assured her
"I can't believe, you are the same Zoya who never thought twice to call him even in midnight..." Najma said joining them
"Hmm..." Zoya hummed looking ahead...something flashed in her mind and she closed her eyes... "It's not the same now...and it's because of me...see I can't manage my life without him...I never take any right decision by myself...he always managed my life before and I never fall...but one step without him and I messed up all my life...but it's too late now..." She sighed, "But I am happy for him...he finally got someone who brought that smile in his life...jo main kabhi nahi kar payi..."
"Everything will be same as before Zoya don't worry..." Najma assured
"Come on Zoya...ek toh teen saal baad mil rahe hai hum...chodo yeh sab jo hoga dekh lenge..." Humeira tried to cheer her up
"Hmm...tum so jao main aati hu thodi der main"
Humeira and Najma shared a worried look and walked inside, "Yeh Shaad bhi na...kya problem hai abhi batane me...she has already suffered a lot... sab se khud ko dur kar ke... and he is planning to trouble her more..." Humeira complained as she slumped on the bed while Najma dialed a number on her phone
"We won't let you go easily Shaad...tum milo toh sahi..." Najma yelled before disconnecting the call...
