I WISH...ZAROON KASHAF

16

"Aaj yeh sab ko kya hogaya hai?"
Wondering Osama also left the place.
In the time being, all Zaroon got to know was that Kashaf liked him
somewhere and one thing he realized was that he had started not just
liking her but loving her. Her absence had surely made him known to
his feelings. He only how he was longing for her but one thing he dint
know was that Kashaf was also in the same condition. He had
some idea about it but he wasn't sure of it. The reaction Kashaf gave
was a clear hint but he wanted her to tell him.
Zaroon had never taken anyone so seriously before and this is what
made him a bit nervous.
On one side where Osama was planning for his party Zaroon had
his own plans that he was going to execute in the party.
"Aaj toh tumhe baat karni hogi Kashaf."
Saying this he entered Osama's flat.
"Hi Zaroon."
Osama called out on seeing him.
"Hey Kahan hai tera cousin?"
"Kaisa cousin?"
"Jiske liye tune party rakhi hai."
"Wo to Kashaf ko bulane ka ek bahana tha. Waise maine toh tujhe kisi
cousin ke bare me nahi bataya tha."
Zaroon was confused for a second as he dint know what to say. "Wo
actually.."
Before Zaroon could lie Osama completed his sentence "Tum
humari baat sun rahe the hain na?"
"Actually." Zaroon said while making a sweet face.
"Ye ladkiyon par try kia kar mere pe nahi."
"Yes ofcourse."
"Dekh Kashaf Agayi"
Osama immediately said on seeing her and moved towards her
while leaving Zaroon behind. Zaroon moved towards Sidra
"Hey beautiful."
"Hi Zaroon." Sidra said hesitantly.
Kashaf was watching them from the corner of her eyes while talking to
Osama.
"Waise aaj to tum bohot alag lag rahi ho. Aur bhi zada beautiful aur.."
"Thanks Zaroon. Tum bohot ache lag rahe actually mujhe Osama
se baat karni so can you excuse me please."
"Sure."
Zaroon said while smiling.
Sidra soon joined Osama and Kashaf was left alone. Zaroon
exactly wanted this so he immediately moved towards her. Kashaf on
seeing him coming towards her immediately tried moving away but
she was stopped by him. He stood there in front of her and winked at
her to which Kashaf gasped.
Heyy beimaan, Dil bada beimaan
Hota nahi aasaan issey hai samajana
Beimaan, Dil bada beimaan
Tere liye shaitaan Meri naa ek maana
Zaroon sang while leaning towards her which made Kashaf close her
eyes.
Dil jeete yaa main jeetu
Dekhungi dekhega tu
Lo dil se sharat lag gayi
Mujhe to teri lat lag gayi,
lag gayi Zamaana kahe lat yeh ghalat lag gayi
Mujhe to teri lat lag gayi, lag gayi
Asmara interuppted in between while almost dragging him to the
dance floor though Zaroon cooperated but surely he dint like it as his
plan was being interrupted.
Roku jitna utni bagawat ho
Lagta hai aisa
haal-e-dil ki tum zaroorat ho
Slowly Zaroon moved towards Kashaf once again. Kashaf tried moving
away but he stopped her by holding her by her wrist. Before Kashaf
could react Asmara came in between and again held him from his
shoulder and continued the song
Mujhko bhi tu zaruri
Tu bhi nashein main poori
To kaisi yeh talap lag gayi
Mujhe to teri lat lag gayi, lag gayi
Zamaana kahe lat yeh ghalat lag gayi
Mujhe to teri lat lag gayi, lag gayi.
Zaroon was a bit irritated now as Asmara was ruining everything,
which was being purposely done but he dint know about it. Finally he
indicated Osama to join Asmara and not let
her interrupt anymore and he again moved towards the table where
Kashaf was sitting in.
Ek tu, ek main,
ek baat huyi apni
Hairaan hai kyun saara jahaan
Jo raat hui apni
Kashaf immediately stood up on seeing him and left the table but on
hearing him she stopped and decided to add a few lines
Mujhse tu aake mila
Toh yeh hua hai sila
Ki sau tohmat lag gayi
Saying Kashaf moved towards the washroom while Sidra followed her.
Zaroon was affected he was trying to find what she actually meant he
wanted to follow her but he knew something was serious and it was
going to take time to be healed so he decided to give her time. The
song was over. Now everyone was on the floor except for Zaroon who
sat there quietly waiting for her. Kashaf went inside the washroom as
she was not able to bear all that was happening. She knew she
needed him but she couldn't this was making her mad. She was crying
like a child while leaving Sidra completely shocked.
" kuch to batao mujhe kuch samaaajh nahi araha."
Kashaf slowly wiped her tears and finally decided to speak to Sidra
"Sidra."
"Haan bolo ."
"Sidra it's very difficult for me."
" mujhe samaaajh me nahi araha itna difficult kyu hai ye tumhare
liye?"
"Kyu ki."
"Kyu ki kya ?"
"Because I love him Sidra I love him. "
"Kya?Kab se ?"
Sidra asked while making Kashaf face her.
"Fresher's ke din Sidra maine apne feelings ko samaajha aur usi
raat sab kuch Sidra sab kuch bikhar gaya."
Kashaf said with tears flowing continously.
" mujhe yeh pata hi nahi tha.Tumne mujhe bataya kyu nahi?"
"Kya batati apni tuti hui kahani jo kabhi shuru hi nahi ho payi.
Sidra sab se dukh dene wali baat toh Zaroon ka behaviour hai. Wo
mere itne kuch kehne ke baad bhi mujhse baat karne kaise aa sakta hai
kaise mujhe dekh ke smile kar sakta hai? " Sidra kept wondering for a
minute and then replied
"shayad wo bhi tumse pyaar karta hai."
"Kya faida Sidra hum kabhi saath nahi ho payenge."
"Nahi yeh galat jab tum dono hi ek dusre se pyaar karte ho fir ye
doori kyu ?"
"Sidra tu janti hai fir kyu puch rahi hai? Wo phone.."
"Haan wo phone tum Zaroon se uss phone ke baare me kaho."
"Sidra tujhe kya lagta wo kabhi manega ki wo Asmara hai."
"nahi tum bus use phone ke bare me baatao. Aur fir hume to khud
nahi pata ki wo Asmara hai ya koi aur."
"Sidra rehne de Zaroon ke saath kuch bhi main bardasth nahi kar
sakungi."
" tumhari khushi uss bakwas ke phone se zada zaruri hai hamare
liye. samaajho.."
"Isme kuch samaaajhne aur samaajhane ka nahi hai Sidra. Mujhe
Zaroon se door rehna hi hoga. Mujhe is baare mein abhi baat nahi
karni." Kashaf wiping her tears moved out of the washroom while
leaving Sidra behind. "tumhe koi nahi samaajh sakta abhi tum
bilkul tooth jati ho aur abhi strong behave kar rahi ho."
Wiping a little tears that had formed in her eyes she also moved out.
Kashaf came and stood while watching everyone dance. Suddenly the
lights went off and it became pitch dark. Someone caught hold of her
hand and mouth and dragged her out and before she could shout or
react her eyes were closed by a blindfold and her mouth was held
tightly.

----
Her eyes were closed by a blindfold and her mouth was held tightly.
Finally she was brought to open air after she was taken up by a lift.
Kashaf breathed in the cold air and as the sweat was getting dried up
by the cold air she could feel herself shivering. Soon her blindfold was
taken off and on seeing the person in front of her she shouted
"Zaroon how dare you bring me here like this? What do you think of
yours..."
"ssshh..Bohot bolti ho tum."
He said placing his finger on her lips and then slowly removing it he
continued
"Nahi ek kaam karo aaj tum sab kuch bata hi do mujhe akhir baat kya."
Now a bit of anger could be seen in his eyes.
"Batao Kashaf bolo."
"Main kuch batana zaruri nahi samaaajhti."
"Kyu? Ye meri life ki baat hai batao mujhe bhi ye pata hona chahye.
Bolo Kashaf bolo. Lekin ab jhut mat kehna. "
"Maine kab jhut kaha tumse Zaroon huh?"
"Dekho khud se hi jhut keh rahi ho."
He said while smirking.
"Main koi jhut nahi keh rahi."
Kashaf said while lowering her gaze.
"Acha meri ankho me Dekh kar kaho ki tum sach keh rahi."
Zaroon said while holding her arms.
"Haan main sach keh rahi hoon."
Kashaf said while looking into his eyes.
"Meri ankho me dekh ke kaho ki tumne mujhe kabhi apna dost nahi
mana."
"Nahi mana."
Zaroon irritatedly smiled at her guts.
"Meri ankho mein dekh ke kaho ki tumne humesha mujhse nafrat ki."
Kashaf could not lie anymore so she lowered her gaze.
"Kaho Kashaf ki tumhare dil me mere liye sirf nafrat ki jagah hai. Kaho
Kashaf ki tum mujhe kabhi nahi dekhna chahti. Kaho Kashaf ki tum
mujhse pyar nahi karti."
Zaroon remained silent after it and waited for her reply.
"Bolo Kashaf bolo. Damn it say something."
He said with a bit of tears in his eyes which broke Kashaf from inside.
"Haan haan main tumse nafrat nahi karti. Haan main tumhe har roz
dekhna chahti hoon. Haan main tumhe maine sab jhut kaha Zaroon
sab jhut par sirf tumhare liye. Sirf tumhare bhalaiyi ke liye. Haan
Zaroon main..main tumse pyaar karti hoon."
Saying this she looked at him and smiled.
Zaroon's eyes started shining with tears and happiness. He couldnt
believe on his ears but it was true. He felt like taking a step ahead and
give her a hug but he dint as he had something to say. "I love you too
Kashaf."
Kashaf looked at him with tears and finally the two of them took a step
and hugged each other so tight as if they would never part but finally
something struck Kashaf's mind and she broke the hug in an
insensitibve way which gave Zaroon a bit of shock.
"Zaroon par yeh nahi ho sakta we cant be together."
"Kyu Kashaf? Jab hum dono hi.."
"Nahi Zaroon yeh samaajhane asan nahi hoga."
"Kashaf have faith in me kuch aisa hai jo tum batana nahi chahti par
please you need to vomit it now."
Kashaf told him about the call but dint take Asmara's name. After
knowing everything all Zaroon could do was hug her and Kashaf
started crying.
"I know Zaroon I have hurt you a lot but now you understand why
right?"
"Ssshh...Mujhe pehle hi pata tha ki tum aise kisi ke sath nahi kar sakti
aur wo bhi itne
Handsome ladke ke saath."
He said while smirking.
"Oh yes ofcourse."
Kashaf replied while hitting him on his chest.
"Ouucchh.."
Zaroon shouted.
"Laga kya?"
Kashaf immediately asked with concern.
"Nahi.."
Kashaf glared at him and then they again hugged each other.
Finally after breaking the hug Kashaf said with seriousness
"Zaroon hum public me nahi milenge."
"To kaha milenge Kashaf?"
"Wo nahi pata but koi hai jo tumhe nuksaan pohchana chahta hai to
hume door hi rehna hoga." "Par aise kitne din chalega Kashaf. Mujhe
kuch nahi hoga Kashaf.."
"Please Zaroon nahi. Promise me ki tum public me milne ki koshish
nahi karoge."
Zaroon just nodded his head.
"Zaroon tum samaajh rahe ho na Please."
"Haan Kashaf haan main tumhari baat samaajh raha hoon. Tum
tension mat lo main kuch hone nahi dunga."
