"Tu bin bataye...mujhe le chal kahi"
He stepped out of the bathroom and stopped hearing the familiar melody vibrating through his room. His mind dived back into the times he'd seen Zoya sitting on the garden bench pining for her father.
This time he had brought it.
All his promises had crashed into a miserable bundle at his feet tonight. He'd wished to put a smile on her face, he'd seen tears instead.
Asad saw Zoya move about the garden, lost in thought and followed suit.
He had to apologize.
Getting her hopes up just to disappoint her. Again. Hadn't he punished her enough already?
"Are you okay?" he whispered full of concern, when they came face to face. After hearing her pretentious yes, he managed to get the apology out of his system.
But worries and concerns dispersed into night air for she replaced his conscience with wonder.
"This wish be incomplete but it's only you who has even brought me this close. Agar yeh puri nahi, toh ab itni adhuri bhi nahi Mr. Khan" Zoya finished saying.
All forgotten, the said Mr. Khan stared at her in awe and thanked his god right there and then. How this positive wondrous of a bubble had plopped herself into his arms, he didn't know. But he wished more of her into the world. He suddenly had a vision of tiny Zoya Faaroqui's running around his house. Asad smiled serenely.
"Ab dekhiye na, jab se mujhe mera prince charming mila hai, zindagi se meri umeed badh si gai hai"
There it was again– the blissful bewilderment spiralling back. He had to ask her, to verify and validate, that it was his akdu self that she considered fortunate to have?
Zoya saw her Jahapanah blush and flash a dimple as he waited for her to affirm his queries. Her heart picked up in double time, but she couldn't help teasing him.
"Umm...I never said I was talking about you"
She couldn't feign ignorance for long though, his jealous scowl and child tantrum sent her heart soaring. He was such a cutie!
When she grabbed his hand on reflex to stop him from leaving a soft current passed through her. His eyes told her he felt it too.
"Naraaz ho rahe hai aap?" she asked him, voice sugar sweet
"Aap se naraaz hona, zara mushkil hai Ms. Faaroqui" Asad smiled
"Good night"
Why was he in such a hurry?
She'd barely got to talk to him all day not that she objected eid hustle-bustle. It was one of the best eids of her life.
"Kya hua?" he asked eyeing her hold on his hand yet again. Zoya prepped herself taking a deep breath before starting.
She'd thought about this everyday ever since he'd first baked her sehri pizza. She would never forget the magic he made her see, the love he made her feel.
"Mr. khan aapne meri saari wishes puri ki" Barely, his mind corrected when he heard her say.
"Har koshish ki" And he would keep trying
"Chaand-Taare tod diye" They were nothing before the excitement in her eyes
"Zameen-Asmaan ek kar diya" A very small price for her smiles
