I WISH...ZAROON KASHAF

11

Kashaf was watching him when Sidra arrived
"Kya kar rahi ho di?"
"Kuch nahi."
"Di mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai."
"Kya baat?"
Kashaf got a bit scared but dint show it.
"Acha Sidra abhi rehne de mujhe na bohot neend arahi hai main kal
subah
baat karti hoon tumse"
"But di.."
"Please Sidra I am very tired."
Kashaf said while cutting Kashaf was actually very tired but was
scared too so she told Sidra that she wanted to sleep.

Days were passing and it was just two days from the fresher's party.
All were very busy. Busy preparing charts ,dancing singing and doing
all they could to make the show really happening.
In the span of time some strange things were happening with Kashaf.
Once a car almost flew her from her but she was rescued by Zaroon.
Kashaf was actually walking on the road with headphones plugged in
her ears. And surprisingly the car was not even blowing the horn and
when it was just about to strike her Zaroon drew her and fell on the
ground.
In the meantime Kashaf had started enjoying his company she just
couldn't help but smile after looking at him.
---
Kashaf entered the college casually with a banana in her hand have
eaten and half about to be eaten.
Finishing her banana she unknowingly threw it on the floor.
Asmara who was coming from the other side while talking on the
phone stepped on the and had a terrible fall.
Everyone panicked and specially Kashaf .Zaroon who was standing
nearby immediately picked her up and took her to the medical room of
the college while Asmara was groaning in pain.
Kashaf followed them.
"Asmara yeh kaise hua?"
Zaroon asked after keeping her on the bed and while slowly caressing
her leg.
Before Asmara could say anything Sana interrupted in between.
"Zaroon ye sab is Kashaf ne jaan bujh ke kiya hai maine ise bananas
khate hue dekhe the."
"Par main aisa kyu karungi?"
Kashaf immediately defended herself.
"Kyu ki.."
Sana was about to say something but stopped realising that it wasn't
the correct time for all of it.
"Kyu ki kya Sana?"
Zaroon asked in irritation.
Just the drop the topic Asmara started screaming in pain.
"Zaroon please do something. Call dad I want to go home."
"Asmara you are hurt it means you will not perform."
Ms.Aaha came from behind.
Asmara took just a second to understand the consequences of this
fall.
"No mam i'll be alright till then."
"Asmara you know it very well that you had a very misfortunate fall
and surely it will not heal in a day and you were supposed to do the
final performance. The schedule can't change now I'll have to talk to
Principal about it."
"About.."
"About Kashaf performing instead of you."
"But mam.."
"leave it to me I know it will be against the rules but we cant bear this
kind of a loss.You take care of your self and get well soon."
Saying it Ms.Aaha stepped out of the room where Asmara was being
applied some ointment.
Soon Ms.Aaha made it known that it was Zaroon and Kashaf who
were going to perform even if it was against the rules.
Asmara was sent off to home while Zaroon and Kashaf started with
their practice.
"Zaroon I am really worried kahin kuch zada chot toh nahi ayi hogi na?
Par sach me Zaroon maine jaan bujh ke wo banana peel waha nahi
pheka tha."
Kashaf said while looking all worried and with a lot of innocence.
"Kashaf I know it tum tension mat lo kuch nahi hoga zara si moch hogi
aur wo theek ho jayegi tum ghabrao mat aur yaad rakho tumhari koi
bhi galti nahi hai."
Zaroon said while assuring her and kept his hand on hers to make her
feel comforted.
Though Zaroon was himself very worried he showed no distress to
Kashaf as she would regard herself the culprit.
Meanwhile Kashaf exactly knew what he was going through he looked
completely worried as he dint behave like the usual Zaroon. Asmara
was his best friend so he was surely worried.
Today Zaroon and Kashaf had to do a lot as a lot of burden was on
their shoulder. It was quite late and Kashaf seemed worried.
"Kashaf main tumhe chor deta hoon ."
"Nahi Zaroon main rickshaw le lungi."
"Nahi chalo kafi dair ho gayi hai aur main wahi se jaa raha hoon
Asmara se mil lunga aur tumhe drop bhi kar dunga."
"Ok.Acha Zaroon."
"Hmm..bolo."
"Tum kal. ghar kyu aye the?"
Kashaf softly asked.
"Kyu ki mera mann kar raha tha isliye aur tumhari payal mere pas chut
gayi t
Thi."
"Oh wo tumhare pas chuti thi acha to de do."
"Nahi abhi nahi hai mere pas main kal la dunga .
"Ok."
"Kashaf betho."
"haan."
Saying it she carefully sat on his bike.
Zaroon was slowly driving the bike while Kashaf was lost in her chain
of thoughts.
They had just covered a little distance when Zaroon stopped his bike
in front of a place where some stalls were standing.
"Zaroon yahan kyun roka?"
"Wo Kashaf ek kaam karo zara utar jao."
"Kyu?"
Kashaf immediately asked.
"Utro to baba"
"Thik ache."
Saying this she got down.
"Kashaf mujhe do batein kehni hai."
Zaroon said while taking off his helmet.
"Bolo."
"Pehli baat ghari ghari Bengali mat bola karo mujhe OOsamaaajh nahi
ata."
Kashaf laughed at it and said
"ok.."
"Aur ye ki please kuch khalo tumhe bhook lagi hogi subah se tumne
kuch nahi khaya."
"Nahi Zaroon main theek hun ghar ja kar kha lungi."
"Nahi Kashaf dekho main keh raha hoon na kha lo."
"No its ok Zaroon."
"Nahi tumhe khana parega because tum mere saath ayi ho isliye."
"Tumhare saath to kya..."
Before Kashaf could add more Zaroon placed his fingers on her lips
and leaned down to her face and gently whispered
"Kashaf I know subah se tum tensed ho about Asmara par please kha
lo todha sa mere liye aur bhook mujhe bhi bohot lagi hai aur aj to maa
bhi late se ayegi.Please."
Kashaf couldn't reply as she was lost in him and his words.
Butterflies fluttered in her stomach when he came close and gently
whispered in her ears ,and as he did so shivers ran down her spine and
she found herself in a very different world with a different feeling and
different a Kashaf.
Just at that instance, she just felt like listening to him and not replying
,she felt like going close to him and be there.
Kashaf, who was lost in her thoughts was brought back by a tough
voice
"Kashaf chalein?"
"Ha-a-a-n"
She said while shrugging her thoughts aside.
Kashaf and Zaroon had some chaat and now they headed to grab an
ice cream for themselves.
As they were moving Zaroon's phone rang
"Kashaf tum ruko main ata hoon do minute ok?"
"yup"
Kashaf was just standing there with her hands crossed and was
looking here and there , when a guy came and stood just next to her.
Kashaf felt uncomfortable so she moved away but the guy again came
and stood next to her.
Again Kashaf moved and the guy again came close to her.
Kashaf felt something fishy and hence she shouted loudly
"Kya hai?"
"Kuch nahi bas apse baat karni thi."
The guy said while coming more close to her.
"Ab karli na Niklo yahan se chalo phuto."
"Aaaeee tameez se baat kar OOsamaajhi na."
Saying this the guy held Kashaf's wrist tightly.
"Haat choro."
Kashaf said while getting worried and tensed.
"Nahi chora toh kya karlegi."
The guy said while laughing.
"Wo kuch kare na kare main tujhe zinda nahi chorunga samaajhe."
Kashaf turned her face and her tension reduced.
It was Zaroon so obviously she had nothing to worry about now.
"Tu kya karelega be."
"Dekhna chahta hai?"
Zaroon said with anger completely visible in his eyes and voice.
"Dikha bachu."
The guy Kashaf's hand with a jerk and moved forward to hit Zaroon .
The duo soon got into a terrible brawl with Zaroon dominating.
With two or three punches on his face the muscular man was found
on ground in an unconscious manner.
"Chalen Madam."
"Zaroon."
"Haan"
"tumhe chot to nahi ayi?"
"Nahi Kashaf chalo ab chal te hai ok?"
"Are you sure Zaroon?"
Kashaf asked with concern.
"Yes baba."
They both sat down and moved towards Kashaf's house.
Zaroon was casual though he had got a bit hurt whereas Kashaf was
all confused.
She loved the way Zaroon protected her , assured her a lot of things,
supported her when everyone else was against her and most
importantly never tried hurting her. She had found a good friend in
him and he had certainly occupied a place in her heart. Kashaf thinking
about all of it had a continuous smile on her face and dint even realize
when they reached home.
After bidding him she moved towards her house with a broad smile on
her face.
Naye-naye naina mere dhoonde hain
Dar-badar kyun tujhe
She turned just to see him reversing his bike and smiled.
Naye-naye manzar yeh takte hain
Iss kadar kyun mujhe
She smiled and started turning around.
Zara-zara phoolon pe jhadne laga dil mera
Zara-zara kaanton se lagne laga dil mera
She touched the flowers kept in the garden and smiled lovingly and
then realized that people were watching her so she immediately ran
from there.
Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan
Aatishein woh kahaan
Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan
Ranjishein hain dhuaan haan..
she entered the house and while smiling and dancing a bit with her
mom, moved to her room and sat in front of the dressing table.
Be-baat khud pe marne lagi hoon
Marne lagi hoon
Bebaak aahein bharne lagi hoon
Bharne lagi hoon
She sang while combing her hair and finding herself really attractive.
Chaahat ke cheete hai, khaare bhi meethe hai
Main kya se kya ho gayi
Zara-zara fitrat badalne laga dil mera
Zara-zara kismat se ladne laga dil mera
She sang while spraying the water from her water spray bottle.
Main pareshaan pareshan pareshan pareshaan
Kaisi madhoshiyaan...
Main pareshaan pareshaan pareshaan pareshaan
Mastiyaan Mastiyaan...
She sang while getting engrossed in the song.
Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan
Aatishein woh kahaan
Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan
Ranjishein hain dhuaan haan..
Singing she lied on her bed and fell into deep slumber while smiling.
