ANKAHE ALFAAZ (COMPLETED)

Chapter 75

"Congratulations, hamesha khush raho !" plastering smile, he leaves shehnaaz  stayed back recalling his facial expressions and hurtful gaze, as if she betrayed him unbelievably stood there in astonishment.

"Kya huwa, sabko bata diya na chill kar" zoya told dragging her along towards their economics lecture, zahid was supposed to attend, his absence made her anxious couldn't afford to be reason of his affliction and discomfort. 

"Excuse me, where are you lost shehnaaz ?" questioned professor, apologised for being inattentive "I am sorry miss" earning last warning is permitted to sit. 

"Tera focus kahan tha ?" zoya instantly asks while stepping out of lecture due to which she sighed "tabiyat theek nahi mere date qareeb haina" lied, scared nervous and anxious only thinking about zahid and his absence. 

"I should speak to him" deciding excused herself and went on looking for him through out campus after sometime found him sitting alone on bench placed near garden "tum yahan akele baitho, main wahan sabke beech dhoond rahe thi" she said, grabbing his attention. 

"Kyun dhoond rahe thi ?" he smiled, misunderstanding her presence "sabko shaadi ki treat de rahe hoon na" she answered, exasperating him. 

"Mujhe nahi chahiye tum jasakte ho" she could feel zahid getting furious yet asked him to join "tumhe baat samajh nahi aye ?" gritting teeth, asked. 

"Tum itne ajeeb tareeke se kyun react kar rahe ho" she questions back ... his statements must be loud and clear can't be moving around tensed by noting understanding and concluding through his weird actions. 

"Jabse apne shaadi ka bataya hai, tumhare expressions badal gaye tum aise behave kar rahe ho jaise maine dhoka de diya ho" she uttered, in frustration. 

"Bilkul sahi kaha, mohabbat karta hoon tumse kaise kisi aur ki hosakte ho .. jabse tumhe dekha hai apne hosh kho baitha hoon, tumhare saath hazaar sapne sajaye baitha hoon, tumhe apna bana baitha hoon, tum pe apne dil gaawa baitha hoon, I have lost my sanity babe"  shocking her to death. 

"Deewana bana ghoom raha hoon, mera dil chah kar bhi qabool nahin kar raha ke tum kisi ke nikkah mein ho ... bohut pyaar karta hoon ..... tumhare shohar se bhi zayada khush rakhunga" sounded crazy, yet continued. 

"I love you shehnaaz" that's when she lost every ounce of control and slaps him hard due to which zahid landed on bench. 

The ground slipped beneath her feets, she couldn't believe his words, how dare he develop feelings for her moreover compared himself to sidharth. It didn't make any sense, her blood boiled "tumhare himmat kaise huwe huh mere sidharth ko apne aap se milane ki" she roared like an injured lion. 

"Mere sidharth se zayada kisi ki awqaat nahi, mujhko chah ne ki unke jaise mohabbat karne ki himmat kisi ke andar nahi aur tum khud ko, unke saath kaise mila sakte ho, ho kya chees tum, jaante bhi nahin hoon aur jaana bhi nahi chahte tum jaisa ghatiya insaan baat karne ke qabil nahi" shouted. 

"Main already unke hoon, aaj se nahin bachpan se ... kisne kaha, hosh kho baitho, mere sapne dekho, kya maine tumse kaha ya phir koi ishara diya ... kaunse haq se apna bana baithe ho jab mujh par, mere dil aur rooh par sirf sidharth baste hain" she yells at him, unable to endure clasps her shoulder anguishing poor girl, breathing heavily. 

"Shut up, tum sirf meri ho ... dekhta hoon ... tum kya karte ho !" provoking shehnaaz "haath chodo, durr raho mujhse warna muh tod kar rakh dunge" yanking him away, rushed outside crying and breathing heavily. 

"Kya huwa shehnaaz, roh kyun rahe hai .. what's wrong yaar please batana babe ... relax kar ... paani chahiye ?" opening lid and helping her to drink. 

"Mujhe ghar jaana hai" cried hugging zoya. 

"Acha chalte hain doh minute ruk let me call jiju" denied, hiccuping. 

"Nahi pleaseeee unko call mat kar driver bhaiya ko bol ajayenge" pleaded understanding her state of mind, dialled quickly, and driver uncle reached within 20 minutes "relax ghar pohanchne wale hain !" assures, placing her head on her shoulder "bhaiya jaldi karo" zoya, requested. 

"Aaj tum dono jaldi kaise agaye ?" amma jaan, worriedly questioned.

She doesn't reply quickly went ahead, confusing amma jaan and zubaida ji "shehnaaz ko kya huwa, theek haina ?" zubaida ji, interrogates zoya whose clueless about her sudden, indifferent behaviour "pata nahi, class ke waqt pareshaan thi uske baad kahin gaye aur wapis ane ke baad khoob roye" 

"Ajeeb baat hai, tumne sidharth se pucha ?" zoya shook head. 

"Usne call karne se maana kardiya" she replied. 

"Zaroor ladaye huwe hoge, main phone karke puchte hoon" amma jaan dials after sometime heard his pleasant voice "aslamualikum, kaise hain ?" 

"Walaikumaslam, main theek hoon beta lekin shehnaaz nahi kya tum dono ke beech phirse argument huwe hai ?" worriedly, asked. 

"G nahi amma jaan, mere baat subah huwe thi aur kal raat humne sort our kar liya tha ... aap kyun pareshaan hain .. shehnaaz ko kya huwa hai" he anxiously questioned getting up and rushing towards parking area to drive home. 

"Beta zoya ke saath rote huwe ghar aye hai" she shared. 

"Kuch bataya nahi kamre mein chale gaye, jaldi ao, na jaane kaunse baat ko dil par le liye hai bache ne tum jaante ho na shehnaaz kitne sensitive hai" she told  in a stressful voice "g aap fikar na karein, bass pohanchne wala hoon" assured. 

"Aap jakar dekhiye na amma jaan !" zubaida ji, requests knowing how strong, beautiful and unbreakable relationship shehnaaz and amma jaan share. She won't speak to anyone except sidharth and amma jaan. 

"Hmm, dekhte hoon" her heart stopped beating to witness room locked.

"Darwaaz kholo, meri jaan" amma jaan lovingly, pleaded. 

"Please akela chodh dein kuch waqt ke liye ... please" her voice choked.

"Theek hai, apna khayal rakhna" she gave up, dejected.

"Ya Allah mere bache ko kya hogaya" poor ladies, wondered.
