Rida was standing at the window and was enjoying the view when someone hugged her from behind. She smiled.
Rida: a gaye aap !!!
Armaan kissed her cheek.
Rida: mai aapse ek baat pochon Armaan ??
Armaan: pochiye ??
Rida: aapne Islam q qubool kya ??
Armaan: ye kaisa sawal hai ??
Rida: mai jaanna chahti hun ke Islam ki roshni aap tak kaise pohanchi !!!
Armaan: ek raat !!!
Ridzi: ek raat ??
Armaan: jis tarah Aapki zindagi ek hadse ne badli waise hi meri zindagi ek raat ne badal di. Us raat ne mujhey wo diya jo ek hadse ne aapko diya !! ISLAM
FLASH BACK
Armaan was walking on the street with a bottle in his hand. Yes , he was drunk. The pain , he was feeling was unbearable for him. Her love , her Riddhima had left him. Why ?? Just because of a religion. Her religion didn't matter to him. He just Loved her and just wanted to be with her but now he couldn't.
A new feeling was developing in him and that was hatred , hatred towards Islam. Because Islam was the reason of his pain. Islam was the reason that his love left him. He was feeling that everything was finished and Islam had finished his life. Islam had destroyed him.
Every moment , he spent with Riddhima was paining him now coz now he couldn't cherish that moment again. He couldn't even meet his love. He was feeling that life was laughing on him that his love had left him just because of a damn religion as if she never ever loved him.
He came out from his thoughts when he heard someone's scream. He turned and found that two robbers were robbing a person. He thought to help him but stopped himself when he noticed his dressing. Salwar kameez and Topi. His jaw clenched. He turned and started walking in opposite direction. He didn't wanna face any Muslim right now. Another scream reached his ears. He stopped but didn't turned. He wanted to help him but HE WAS MUSLIM how could he help him. He again started walking but stopped. His inner voice was telling him help that person. Although the person was a Muslim and he hated Islam. But he was Human too. He couldn't left a human to die. He turned and saw that robbers were trying to snatch a book from him and he was shaking his head as if saying that he won't give that book. Suddenly a robber left that book and stabbed him on chest. Armaan's eyes went wide.
He ran towards them. Robbers had run from there. That book was still in the hands of that person. He was holding that tightly as if his life depend on it. Armaan reached him and bent down. That person raised his book towards armaan. Armaan took it and looked at him. He was giving him pleading look as if saying that take care of it. Then he became lifeless.
Armaan looked at the person then at the book. His mind was numb. He stood up and left from there.
Next day he woke up and found himself on a bench. His sat up and hold his head. His head was paining a lot. He looked at his side and found that book. Whole incident came in his mind. He was shocked. He held the book and thought that A person sacrifice his life just for a BOOK. He read its title "AL-QURAN"
He stood up and made his way towards home. Soon he was infront of his house. He entered and made his way towards bathroom. After sometime he came out while ruffling his hairs with a towel. He stopped as his eyes landed on that book. He picked up and looked at it. He didn't know what to do. Suddenly Ridzi's face came in her mind. His jaws clenched. He raised his hand and was about to throw the book but stopped in midway.
Kya kar raha hai Armaan !!! Us insaan ne tere saamne apni jaan de di is book ke liye aur tu isey phek raha hai. At least uski qurbani ki qadar karle.
His inner voice scolded him. He put the book down and went to get ready. After sometime , he was standing in front of a masjid. He never wanted come here. But he had no choice. He had to gave this book. Whenever he looked at this book Ridzi came in his mind. He just wanted to get rid of this. Get rid of this pain.
He stood there. He was still thinking should he go there !!! . Suddenly he got pushed by someone. He looked back and found a person was removing his shoes.
Person: mazrat !!! Deer ho rahi haina !!! Chale bhai jaldi chale hain.
Person held his hand and dragged him in the Masjid. He was looking at the person with confuse expressions. He looked up and found many people was standing in a raw and one person was standing alone in 1 raw. Person made him stand beside him in last raw.
Person left his hand then touched his ears. He made his way towards outside. But stopped. Itne door aaya hai to book de hi de. He sighed and sat in one corner. He looked at peoples there. They all were in prostration. He was looked at them as how was they praying.
Soon they all were done and was going out. He closed his eyes. He felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He looked up and found that person.
Person: kya hua bhai ghar nahi Jana ??
Armaan stood up and gave him book. Then told him the whole incident.
Person: oh sorry !! Mujhey laga aap bhi namaz parhne aaye hain!! ...
Armaan nodded. He was about to leave when person stopped him. Armaan looked at him. Person handed him back the book.
Person: isey apne paas rakho. Mere paas aur yahan sable paas ye hai lekin Appke paas nahi hai. Aapko iski zarorat. Aapke dard ka ilaj hai ye!!
Armaan: mujhey ?? Iski zarorat ??
Person: ji !! Aap isey le jaye aur kuch madad chahiye ho to yahin a jayega aapka dost Hadi aapko yahin milega.
Hadi left.
Armaan: hadi !! Dost !!! Had hai !!
Armaan went back to His house. He looked at the book and made an annoying face. The book was irritating him. No I can't keep it. He thought and was about to throw this again but stopped.
Is kitab mein akhir aisa hai kya jiski wajah ek insaan me Jan de di aur ye mere dard ka ilaj??,
He thought. He came to his room , sat on his bed and with shaking hands he opened it.
FLASH BACK END
Rida: phir ??
Armaan: phir kya tha !! Jaise Jaise parhta gaya .. Samajhta gaya .. Waise hi gaflat ka ehsaas bhi ho gaya ... Phir mein wahin gaya !! Usi masjid mein jahan hadi mila tha , wo mujhey dekh kar bohat khush hua aur bas uski madad se mai aaj yahan khara hun.
Rida smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
AFTER TWO HOURS
Rida was sitting on grass in garden. She was Watching Armaan and Noor , who were playing there , while enjoying her coffee. Armaan stopped and sat beside her while Noor was still playing with a ball.
Armaan: kya soch rahi ho ??
Rida: yehi ke mai kitni lucky hun ... Jab Islam qubool kya tha to sab chor diya tha .. Papa ne Ghar se nikal diya tha .. Unhey pata nahi q aisa lagta tha ke mai khud ko barbaad kar rahi hun. Mai sirf zillat uthaungi Ab ... Lekin dekhe .. Mai kitni khush hun .. Sab kuch hai mere paas ... Kash aaj papa yahan hote ... To mai unhey dikhati ke dekhe Maine khud ko kitna abaad kya hai.
Tears starting falling from her eyes. Armaan wrapped his hand around her shoulder and she leaned on his chest.
Armaan: jo hona tha wo ho chuka !!! Badla nahi ja sakta !! Is liye dil mein aisi baatein na rakho. Hmm ??
He left her and wiped her tears. She nodded. Armaan held her hand.
Armaan: ek baat pocho ??
Rida: poche !!
Armaan: Us raat Car mein Noor mujhey dekh kar smile kar rahi thi wo to mujhey nahi jaanti na !!
Rida: jaanti hai !! Usne meri aur Aapki tasveer dekh li thi. Is liye Maine usey aapke baare mein Bata diya.
"Kya Bata diya ?? " they looked up and found Noor. Noor walked towards Armaan and sat on his lap. Armaan kissed on her head.
