Part 18:
Zoya drove for almost half an hour and on reaching a check post, she cursed herself as she was driving in the opposite direction... she hit the steering wheel in anger but seeing Asad's condition she composed herself and drove towards Mumbai City... it took almost two hours and finally she reached the hospital where Meher was waiting for her impatiently...
Meher ran towards Zoya and hugged her because she knew how hard it must be for her... Zoya didn't hug her back as her eyes were fixed on Asad who was now out of the car and two ward boys put him on the stretcher and took him inside the hospital... Zoya and Meher also went inside, Meher had already set the Operation Theater for Asad, and she didn't know the reason behind the heart attack so she put almost all the equipments on hold while Zoya held Asad's hand securely in hers and moved with him...
On reaching Operation Theater, a nurse told Zoya to move aside, she immediately looked towards Meher who nodded in yes... tears brimmed in her eyes as Asad moved away from her, she didn't let go of his hand but the wards boys pushed the stretcher inside the OT and Asad's hand almost slipped out of hers... a few took over her, fear of losing him once more, she didn't know why he thought of moving away from her but now she didn't want to lose him, not any cost...
Zoya tried to took hold of his hand again but his stretcher moved further in the room and his hand slipped out of her hand leaving traces on her fingers... Meher placed her hand on Zoya's shoulder and after assuring her, she went inside the OT where Asad was taken...
Zoya stood waiting outside the OT, she didn't cry as she knew Asad will be fine... she saw a senior doctor going in the OT, she ran behind him and as soon the door opened she gasped in horror as she found Asad lying there lifeless and a few tubes were attached on his bare chest... a nurse came and closed the door while Zoya moved back with a heavy heart, she sat on the bench outside the OT and closed her eyes as she could not take the sight of lifeless Asad and prayed for him...
Around 4AM, Meher along with her senior doctors came out, Zoya was too lost that she didn't realize when Meher sat beside her and took her hands in hers... at her move, Zoya looked at Meher...
Meher: he is stable now... she spoke...
Hearing out her words Zoya sighed in relief, her body relaxed on her own and she thanked her Allah Miyan for listening to her prayers...
Meher: but...
Zoya: but??? she asked in fear...
Meher: he needs a new pacemaker...
Zoya gave her a confused look...
Meher: Asad had undergone an open heart surgery or you can say a bypass, there is a pacemaker implemented near his heart and it looks like he needs a new one... I have to keep him under observation for next 24 hours so I and my team can decide for further treatment...
Zoya held her head in her hands as her headache worsened, what the hell was going on... first her husband dearest left her for no reason, then he came and refused to spill the beans... he fainted in front her eyes, it was a heart attack and brought him to the hospital... and now she came to know that he had undergone some surgery and needed another one... she literally lost the ability to think and to react...
Meher put an arm around her shoulders and rubbed her upper arm to give her much needed strength...
Meher: I know it's not easy but you have to deal with it... he needs you Zoya... he needs you...
At that moment Zoya looked towards Meher with teary eyes...
Meher: you spent the last five years hating and loving him at the same time Zoya... what he did was wrong but his intentions weren't wrong, now he truly needs you at his side... I don't know his case history but he isn't fine, he is living a life where his any breath can be his last and take him towards death...
As soon Zoya heard the word "death" she stood up from her place, she took a step backward and before Meher could have stopped her she was gone...
At the farmhouse, the day started with a buzzing morning... it was Nuzhat's Nikah today and all were over the moon expect Dilshad and Afra who were still worried for Asad... Meher called Ayan and told him she had caught up with an emergency case and can't attend the Nikah... Fahad was also worried for Zoya but when he saw her coming back without Asad, he relaxed a little bit but Zoya's state was enough to tell him something was up...
Physically Zoya was back but mentally she wasn't... her mind was still stuck to the word "death" she locked herself up in her room and moved towards the washroom... she stood under the shower, turned on the tap and let the cold water calm her down... she didn't care about her dress and jewelry which she was wearing from last night's function, she didn't care what if she caught cold... she closed her eyes as she remembered the events from last night and finally the tears made their way... she pretended to be strong and didn't shed a single tear in the hospital, she was too shocked to digest the news... she got emotional but didn't cry even for once... when she saw Dilsahd's worried face, she just wanted to hug and cry her heart out but that wasn't possible in front of everyone... she cried under the cold shower, her eyes were red and her lips trembled with cold but she didn't turn off the tap... it was nothing beyond the pain which Asad was going through, yes she was angry with him but now she knew why he parted his ways... her anger was at its place, she was more hurt because her Allah Miyan punished them for no reason, what was their fault, they loved each other then why they both were being punished with so brutality where she lived with the tag of bewafai while Asad lived with the fear of death...
Zoya cried till her eyes refused to shed tears, she turned off the tap and sat on the floor hugging her knees... she sat there lost in her thoughts and came to world when someone banged on her door again and again... she stood up and came out of the washroom, she was about to open the door when she realized her condition, her dress was fully drenched and her eyes were red... Zoya didn't open the door and talked from inside the room, it was Najma who had come to call her downstairs, Zoya told her to wait till she got ready...
Nuzhat was still getting ready while Humaira and Nikhat were at the resort to welcome the guests... Dilshad and Afra were with Saira Bi and Asim as they wanted to attend the function from groom's side... Rashid along with Imran and Farhan, was at resort, in short Zoya and Najma were at home with Nuzhat...
Zoya got changed, she wore matching earrings and did the minimum makeup... she didn't want to dress up but she did only for Nuzhat as she didn't want to spoil her big day... Zoya was about to leave her room when Fahad came to her, Zoya smiled but Fahad was quite serious... sensing Zoya's confusion he made her sit on the bed and sat beside her and took her hands in his...
Zoya: kya baat hai Fahad???
Fahad: yehi mai tumse poochna chahta hoon Zoe, what's the matter???
Zoya: Fahad tum... she started only to be cut off...
Fahad: please Zoe, no lies and excuses... mujhe sach sach batao kya baat hai...
Zoya knew Fahad would not buy her lies, she looked down...
Fahad: tum Asad ki wajah se pareshaan ho na??? he asked...
Zoya immediately looked at him with tearful eyes...
Fahad: tum ab bhi Asad se pyaar karti ho na??? he asked cupping her cheek...
Zoya nodded, she wanted to speak but words didn't come out of her mouth... she was overwhelmed with emotions...
Fahad: then what's the problem yaar, tum Asad se pyaar karti ho aur Asad tum se, kahin tum meri wajah se...
Zoya: nahi Fahad aisa nahi hai... she spoke as she didn't want to make him guilty...
Fahad: phir kya masla hai??? he asked politely...
Zoya: Fahad I... I don't know yaar... tum jaante ho mera aur Asad ka rishta kesa hai... no doubt I'm angry still I love him but...
Fahad: jahan pyaar hota hai wahan par war ki koi gunjaish nahi hoti... aur agar tum meri wajah se guilty ho then please don't be... tum meri sab se achi dost ho, mene hamesha tum se pyaar kiya hai aur apni khushi se pehle tumhari khushi chahi hai... tum yahan aayi, tumhe Asad se pyaar hua, shadi hui aur phir woh sab...
Zoya looked on and heard him out...
Fahad: yesterday I noticed Asad, he still loves you bhalay woh iqraar na kare Zoe par woh tum se pyaar karta hai... I think you should give him a chance... saying so he pulled out the engagement from her finger...
Zoya: Fahad... she gasped as he took his ring back...
Fahad: Asad ko chance dene ke liye you have to be free of this... he replied grazing the ring...
Zoya: yeh theek nahi hai Fahad, mai Asad ko chance dene ke liye tumhe nahi chor sakti...
Fahad: tum yeh sab Asad ke liye nahi kar rahi aur na hi mai Asad ke liye kar raha hoon... mere liye tum se badh kar koi nahi hai Zoe aur mai ache se jaanta hoon tumhari khushi Asad ke saath hai...
Zoya: haan par iss tarha se nahi, mai tumhare saath reh kar bhi Asad ki baat sun sakti hoon...
Fahad: please Zoe, don't make it hard for me... just think about Ahad, don't he deserve to be with his father???
Zoya didn't reply at the mention of Ahad... Asad didn't even know about Ahad being his son...
Fahad: now stop using your pea size brain, abhi tumhe Asad se khoob badla lena hai uss ne tumhe bohat rulaya hai na ab uski baari hai... he spoke and side hugged her...
Zoya: tum itne ache kyun ho Fahad??? she asked looking in his eyes...
Fahad: woh sab mai nahi jaanta par haan tumhe mera kaam karna hoga, your Mr. Khan really needs a hard time so instead of running in his arm let your anger come out... aur agar tum yeh sab nahi kar sakti toh abhi bata do mai tumhare Mr. Khan ko ache se dekh loonga... he joked to cheer her up...
Zoya: nahi I'll manage on my own... she smiled with tears and hugged her best friend...
Fahad let out a breath which he was holding and a lone tear fell out his eyes, it wasn't easy for him but he needed to do it... after all he knew Zoya would not broke this engagement just for her sake... so he took a step for his Zoe and set her free so she could go back to her husband, her Mr. Khan...
Later, Fahad and Zoya joined everyone at the resort, Asim along with his family and Qazi Sahab was already there... Rashid gave the permission to start the Nikah but Nuzhat wanted to wait for her Asad bhaijaan who had promised her to be at her side during Nikah...
On the other hand, Asad woke up and blinked his eyes for the several time to register the place where he was... he looked around and concluded he was in the hospital, he wanted to get up but his health didn't allow him... he closed his eyes as he felt a sharp pain in his chest, but as soon he closed his eyes Zoya's face appeared, he remembered their encounter and how he passed out in front of her... without caring about his state, he sat up abruptly as it dawned upon him that Zoya was with him and must have come to know about his heart problem... he pulled out the needle of IV and removed the two wires which were placed on his bare chest... he pulled out the oximeter from the index finger of his left hand and made his way outside the room...
Asad soon he stepped out of the ICU, a nurse saw him and told him to go back inside, when Asad tried to move ahead she immediately called for a ward boy and told him to call Dr Meher while the nurse kept following Asad... Meher came there within a minute and seeing her Asad stopped...
Asad: where is she???
Meher knew he was asking about Zoya...
Meher: woh yahan nahi hai...
Asad: you told her, right... she knows what happened to me... he asked...
Meher nodded in yes while Asad sighed and closed his eyes as it was the least he wanted...
Meher: tumhe iss tarha bahir nahi aana chahiye tha...
Asad: mujhe Zoya se baat karni hai... he spoke looking down...
Meher: meri Zoya se baat hui hai, Nikah hote hi woh yahan aa jayegi phir tum uss se baat kar lena... now please get back to ICU...
Asad looked at her in confusion...
Meher: you were in ICU and were not supposed to come out on your own... she replied...
Meher signaled a ward boy to take him back to ICU and when he tried Asad shrugged him off...
Asad: mujhe kahin nahi jana...
Meher: Asad you should cooperate... I need to do a few tests and...
Asad: mujhe Zoya se milna hai... he cut her off...
Meher: Zoya aa jayegi tum mere saath chalo...
Asad: mene kaha na mujhe kahin nahi jana... he spoke angrily...
Meher: tumhe Zoya se kyun milna hai, yeh dekhne ke liye ke sach jaan kar woh kitni khush hai...
Asad closed his eyes in disgust, he didn't want that, not at all... Meher composed her anger as she didn't want to sound rude...
Meher: I'm sorry I didn't mean to...
Asad: mujhe Zoya se milna hai... he said looking at her with tearful eyes...
Meher: Asad tum samajh kyun nahi rahe, woh ghar pe hai abhi nahi aa sakti...
Asad: okay fine she can't come par mai toh ja sakta hoon na...
Meher: are you mad, you can't go... tum kahin nahi ja rahe, iss halat mai toh bilkul bhi nahi...
Asad: I don't care, mujhe Zoya se milna hai toh bas milna hai...
Saying so Asad took a few steps to go but his breaths got uneven and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, he stopped and looked towards Meher...
Meher: tum abhi kahin bhi jaane ki halat mai nahi ho Asad...
Asad: mujhe Zoya se milna hai... please Meher... he pleaded...
Meher: okay... she sighed and agreed...
First Meher took him back to ICU where she checked his pulse rate and gave him an injection for his panting breaths, then she drove him to the resort... the drive was a silent affair, Meher kept driving in utter silence while Asad looked out of window as Zoya's words from last night rang in his ears... unknown to him tears made their way as he closed his eyes hearing her last words "khuda jaane aap mere zindagi se kab rukhsat honge"
Asad came out of his thoughts when Meher stopped the car outside the resort, he looked at the resort and got nervous and stepped out of the car... he didn't know how he would face her but he needed to do it, taking a deep breath he made his way towards the resort...
Jo bandishe thi zamane ki tod aaya hu
Mai tere vaste duniya ko chhod aaya hu
Zoya was sitting with Nuzhat when she felt Asad's presence, she immediately got up and her feet made their way on its own... Nuzhat and Najma looked at her retreating back and shared a confused look, Najma put Nuzhat at ease and left to follow Zoya...
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Aaya hu aaya aaya tera diwana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Asad took heavy steps, he knew he was running from the truth from last five years and now it the time to face the truth, the bitter truth of his life...
Tera diwana tera diwana tera diwana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Zoya kept on walking without caring about the odd looks she received, she collided with a few guests but didn't care at all, her heart was beating rapidly and she knew it he was near... on reaching the entrance she found no one, she looked here and there in his search and sighed in relief as she saw him coming from the other side and tears brimmed in her eyes...
Ye hai tera hi saudayi ye hai tera hi shahdayi
Ye hai tera hi saudayi ye hai tera hi shahdayi
Tere ishq me hai isse mar jana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
As soon Asad stepped his foot on the entrance he found Zoya there, his lips curved up in a smile and his eyes moistened the moment he locked his eyes with hers...
Tera jalwa jo mai pau mai to har gham bhul jau
Tera jalwa jo mai pau mai to har gham bhul jau
Ye aansu jo hai behte bas itna hai ye kehte
Kaha tu aur kaha mai paraya hu yaha mai
Fahad was also there, he saw a lost Zoya going out, he smiled as he knew she must be going to Asad but when he spotted Najma following her, he immediately took a few long strides, held Najma's arm and stopped her from spoiling AsYa moment... while Asad and Zoya took slow steps towards each other, their eyes were locked and there was a content smile on their faces, a smile which was a unique combination of sheer happiness and pain...
Aa karam itna agar ho ki mujh par ik nazar ho
Aa karam itna agar ho ki mujh par ik nazar ho
Jaan-o-dil vaar du mai zindgi har du mai
Jaise shama pe marta hai parvana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Aaya tere dar par diwana
Asad and Zoya stood there in complete silence, they didn't speak as their eyes were enough to do the talking... there was a lot to be discussed but right now they needed to be with each other...
Aaya tere dar par tera hi diwana
Aaya tere dar par tera hi diwana
Diwana tera
Diwana tera
Diwana tera
Zoya literally forgot the last five years of her life, she didn't bother to recall how many times he had hurt her with his harsh words... at that moment she only knew one thing that she may live without him thinking he didn't want her in his life but she can't lose him... she can't let him leave her again, not now not ever... putting her fear and insecurities aside, she moved closer and put her arms around his waist and hugged him dearly...
Aaya tere dar par diwana diwana diwana
Aaya kis mod pe afsana
Aaya kis mod pe afsana
Aaya kis mod pe afsana
Asad was also going through the same, he didn't have the courage to hurt her again... when she hugged him, he let out a breath and hugged her back like his life depended on that hug only...
Asad and Zoya hugged like there was no tomorrow, where Zoya wanted to assure herself that he was fine and with her, the sound of his heartbeat was enough to calm her down then Asad wanted to spend that moment with her as he didn't trust his life anymore...
Seeing Asad and Zoya hugging, Fahad and Meher sent a silent prayer upwards while Najma was still shock at Fahad's move, she didn't know why but he was happy to see Zoya with Asad... as it was the time for Nikah, Najma broke Asad and Zoya's moment by calling Zoya for the Nikah but to her utter shock Zoya took Asad's hand in hers and took him inside with her...
As soon Asad and Zoya entered hand in hand everyone turned towards them, some were happy and some were confused... Dilshad immediately ran towards her son and seeing his awful state she knew he wasn't fine, she didn't want to break down in front of everyone so she composed herself and dropped a loving kiss on his forehead... Asad looked at his mother with tearful eyes, put his arms around her shoulders and spent a silent moment with her... Zoya witnessed the whole scene, she too felt tears in her eyes but didn't shed a single tear in front of everyone...
During the Nikah, Asad stood by Nuzhat's side but it wasn't that easy for him, he was standing from quite long and his chest pain started... Zoya who was standing opposite to him, sensed his pain, she came to him and held his hand in hers... Asad didn't know when Zoya came and held his hand but as soon he felt a soft touch he looked towards his left and found Zoya there... Zoya entwined her fingers with his and with her free hand she rubbed his upper arm in order to sooth his pain... Asad was overwhelmed, his eyes moistened and mouthed a thank you while in response Zoya inched closer and rested her head on his arm...
Unknown to them Ahad witnessed the whole scene, he didn't know why his parents lived separately but he was so happy to see them together and that too smiling like ordinary parents...
Later, Nuzhat along with her new family fly out to Delhi leaving her own family... Khans were highly emotional but they were happy for Asim and Nuzhat but their happiness ended as Asad fell on the sofa nearby him and held out a breath which he was holding from quite long... Meher immediately ran towards him while Zoya and Dilshad were already at his side... Asad didn't want to break down in front of the entire family but it wasn't in his hands, his every bit of energy was drained out and it was impossible for him to keep standing...
Asad: I'm all yours doc... he spoke looking towards Meher and took deep breaths...
Meher: you know what, you are the worse patient I have ever come across...
Asad: and I guess you are the best cardiologist here...
Meher: woh toh mai hoon... she replied and prepared an injection...
Asad: now hurry up and take me to the hospital or else I'll die without telling my side of story... he said eyeing Zoya...
Zoya: Meher, take him away or else I'll kill him with my own hands...
Asad: ammi aap...
Asad looked towards Dilshad who was angry by his earlier statement, seeing tears in her eyes and anger on her face was enough for him to zip up his mouth... while Meher was done with the injection, Asad closed his eyes as his eyes got heavy with the strong dose of injection... Meher had already called the ambulance in case of emergency and when Asad dozed off she called in the ward boys to take him... Dilshad and Meher followed the ambulance while Zoya didn't go as she needed to face her family who was still in shock and literally forgot to react...
