ZOYA!
I assured my eyes once more, no it's not a dream. It's the reality .kiske liye dua mangi woh khud mere saamne khada hoon, before I could speak anything she left there.
I never thought I would see her anymore, but my fate is fortunate enough for that. I followed her She was still praying and I was getting major deja vu, the same way I saw her for the first time.
She covered her head with the white shawl she was nervous, tears were rolling down, and the gust of wind blew her shawl away, she became more beautiful. I admired her praying from far away.
"Ya Allah grant her every request that she makes."
I long to see her, to feel the warmth of her embrace, and to express to her just how much I have missed her. I wish to recount to her the struggles I faced in the years without her, and how I persevered through the difficulties. Kaash mein aisa kar saktha,
—————————————————————————
After prayers, I feel like my mind is relaxed. I try to pick a taxi for the return. and my phone is not cooperating with me
Allah miya what's wrong with these networks how can I call or book a taxi?
"Madam aap chaahutho hum apko ghar drop kardunga"
"No thanks"
"Aisa math kahiyega madam"
Dont know why but I feel like these are some gunda log, so I maintained a distance and walked away. But one of them grabbed my hand
"Aise kaise jaa saktha he aap , hum aapke sahi salaamath ghar pahunchunga"
"Leave my hand. I don't need your help. I will go myself"
"Oo madam ko gussa aagaya dekho" - one of them
"Madam yeh India hai America nahi , angrezi me hai hindi mein baath karo"
"Maine bola mera haath chod do, warna,.."
"Warna na kyaa...??"
Come on Zoya it's the time for proving your martial arts skills. I kicked him with all my power, and he fell. Escape Zoya Escape ...
I ran from there, but no way the other gundas twisted my hands. It hurts me badly,
"Yeh aap Kya kar rahi he .chodo mujhe I will call the police"
"Police, hahaha yahan police bhi aur court bhi hum hein, chup chaap chalo"
"Areey bhaiyya dekho mujhe bachaaoo, hey anyone please help me" I screamed. But no one came. The people are staring like they are watching any film. Why no one is willing to help me, Did humanity died?
I screamed louder again with the hope of someone .
My hands were hurt.
"Ruko"
someone is ready to help me
Thank you Allah miyaa I looked up to see the person
A gunda is standing in front of him so I couldn't see his face
"Kyaa chahiye"
"Woh" I saw him pointing at me
"Leave her"
"Haha phir aya angrezi. Nahi kar sakthi , Kya karu"
"I said leave her"
"Warna Kya karenge . Madam ki tarah police mein complaint karenge?"
They mocks him
"Nahi mein kuch aur karna chaahtha hoon"
He hit the man 's head with his head
I whistled loudly. He hit everyone in front of me now I can see his face, i looked at him.Now i can see him he was standing next to me
MR KHAN??
Whom I don't want to meet, is standing in front of me. Ya Allah what's happening
—————————————————————————
I was about to leave when I heard a sound of a scream.
It was Zoya. Some people acting forcefully to her
I couldn't even think about a second I rushed towards her
I will not tolerate anyone trying to harm her.
I beat up every one of them. And went to Zoya
"Zoya are you okay"
But one of them came back and tightened her palm with his hand and pointed a knife towards her.
Zoyaa - I screamed
In a moment I snatched the knife from his hand twisted his hand and pulled him to the ground
"Tumhare himmath kaise hua meri biwi k taraf haath udane ki agar ek aur baar tu uske taraf haath kya nazar bhi udayengi toh tumhari itna baand baja dunga ki itna baja dunga ki tumhari ammi bhi tume pehchan nahi paayenga ,samjhe"
I hit him very badly until my anger was gone. seeing his state the others ran away. I went to Zoya to check on her
—————————————————————————
Did he just address me as his "Biwi" or iam in any delusion? Mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa raha hai He was in high temper,He was behaving terribly with them. I doubt if that person has any unbroken bones. He hit them very badly.
"Zoya are you okay"
"Huh??-"
I was lost in thought when he addressed me
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine"
"I will drop you home"
"No thanks Mr Khan, I'll manage"
"Please don't be silly Zoya, yahan se aapko koi taxi Nahi milega , come on I will drop you"
I was not in the mood of arguing so I agreed with him .
As we drove, we both remain silent. I was still lost in the word "Meri biwi" . Why would he say that? Aisa lag Raha ki hum Abhi bhi saath he .he said that like he still have rights on me. I couldn't even ask to him because he is behaving like he was in any driving test full focus on road. The place I'm living is quite far from the darga so I was bored. I tuned the fm. So at least I can hear some good music
Umarein Lagi Kehate Huve, Do Labj The Ik Baat Thi
Woh Ik Din Sau Saal Ka, Sau Saal Ki Woh Raat Thi
Kaisa Lage Jo Chup Chaap Dono, Ho Pal Pal Mein Puri Sadiyaan Bitaayein
Bol Na Halke Halke, Bol Na Halke Halke
Honth Se Halke Halke
O Dhaage Tod Laao Chaanadani Se Noor Ke
O Ghoonghat Hi Bana Lo Roshani Se Noor Ke
The song start playing. We both looked each other for a moment everything happened that night went fast forward like a film in our eyes
Ayaan's plans, the house, rain, baang ki pakode, black shirt and saree, the dance everything.
"Agar aap itni badtameez hai ,toh mujhe aap itni achhi kyu lagthe hai
Jab aap mujhe itni na pasand hai, toh mere kwabon mein aapke saaye kyun ho?
Kyu mere tanhaiyyon mein colour daalthi ho aap"
_________________________________
I was trying very hard to not to talk with her , I know she has so many questions to me and i dont have any answer to give her . So i remain silent
But suddenly the song pops up.we both were in a dilemma. Everything that happend in that night came before my eyes . Before she could say anything i turned off the fm
"Gaana band kar saktha hai, feelings nahi"- Zoya
"Kuch kaha?"
"Nahi toh"
"Mr khan , I wanna say thank you, un gundonse bachane ke liye"
"Its okey Zoya, ye mera farz hai"
"Matlab?"
"I mean aapke jagah koi ladki hai toh , i will do the same"

Seriously mr khan , do you address every girl like
Biwi ,Mr Akdu Ahammed khan - i thought
"Waise aap , Newyork se kab aayi how is your job?"
"Mein aaj hi aaya hoon"
"Aapke jeeju aapi woh sab teek hai na"
"Ha"
"How is Newyork weather, is it summer there?"
He really want to know the haal chaal of jeeju , aapi and how is the weather, yeh sab poochna tha aapko mr Khan , wo aise behave kar rahi he ke hum koi business partners he
"He sab jaan na tha aapko" -i questionned him
"Sorry I didn't get it , Matlab"
"Aap aise kyu behave kar rahi ke humare beech kuch nahi hua he"
"Zoya mujhe samjh nahi aarahi ke aap kya bol raha he"
"Aapko kuch samjh nahi hoga Mr Khan, and you dont even wants to know"
"Zoya dont be silly..."
"Mein silly hoon?? Aa shayad hoon, phir bhi mujhe samjh aa raha hai kya ho raha hai"
"You're offended with me because i stopped the song??"
"Main gaane ke baath nahi kar rahi hoon Mr khan,
Woh 5 saal pehle hua uske baare mein baath kar rahi hoon"
"Zoya so gaya woh hogaya, we must need to move on in our life right"
"Move on, aapko easy hoga mere liye nahi, mera sab kuch ulajh diya Mr Khan , and you're telling me to move on? Sach sirf mujhe nahi aapko bhi pata dha phir bhi aap khamosh rahi, mere abbu ko jail bech di , but you knew that he was not the one. And i want to fight for him , aur aap mujhe aise fekdi ki mein koi
Tissue paper hoon,. Woh thi aapke pyaar?? Does your love were that much fragile"
I went out my anger on him, i always want to ask him but didnt get the opportunities, i really want to know why he did that . The Asad Ahammed Khan i know was not like that
"Zoya you're now behaving emotionally, we both saw what happened . And the deeds of Gaffur Siddiqi"
"Mein yeh nahi keh rahi hoon ki mere abbu bahut acche aadmi dhe , but atleast i know aapke abbu ko unhone nahi maara. Aapko bhi yeh baath achi tarah se pata hai. But obvious you always believe your beloved Thannu.."
"Look Zoya i dont want to spoil my mood right now, please"
"Mujhe bhi koi shauq nahi he aapke mood spoil karne ka ,please stop the car"
"Zoya its dark , i will drop you home"
" i said stop the car , warna mein khud chale jaaunga" i try to open the door . But it was locked
"Zoya he kya kar raha hei, Paagal he kya?"
"Haa paagal hoon. So stop the car"
"Okey but please dont open the door without parking"
He stopped the car . I pulled the door very harshly
"I hope hum phir nahi milenge"
