Beintehaa Ishq

Tu Noor Hai

Chapter 9

Tu Noor hai

He looked at Aaliya again ...and he realized he had stopped breathing ...he stood like a man whose soul and heart were right in  front of him standing, smiling ...staring and making a face

Kya hua aise Bhoot ke tarah kya dekh rahe ho, she rolled her eyes at him ...

She walked inside ...and looked around, the room made her feel eerie...she searched and searched as though she has lost something there. 

Zain was keenly looking at her, quiet aware that she was feeling the familiarity and the closeness to this place...their room

Madam, ab kyu aise zombie ki traha khadi ho ...he exaggerated

She looked up and further walked inside towards the lighted bottles, hanging from the ceiling...

Touching those illuminated sparkles, she felt a belonging ...an unknown desire to own it..

Tumhe nahi lagta thoda feminine hai ...yeh room ...she queried

He looked up, startled ....hoga hi, usne decorate hi aise kiya tha...kitna samjhaya, par mani kaha woh ...he chuckled

Kaun she said pulling both her eyebrows sharply towards her nose...silently frowning

Meri designer ...afat thi afat ...he smiled, avoiding the image of how hard he had fought with her when she had re-decorated HIS room  ...and then how and when unknowingly he had slipped into her tastes of loving all these ridiculous looking things...

She was melting every moment, she felt her heartbeats slipping into a love induced coma ...she felt the urge to touch his face...feel his hands ...were they soft just like his eyes ...so subtle ...so mesmerizing ..

STOP it, her soul was telling her heart ...ARE YOU CRAZY...STOP IT...you just met him, and you are behaving like a cupid stricken Juliet ...Behave Rhea Qureshi...BEHAVE ...the warnings in her head were acting like sirens on a red alert...beeping every moment...

Acchi hai sajavat ...bahut bhopali hai ..she smiled...still holding on the lights as though she was holding on her unfulfilled wishes ...

He stared in those eyes, they still looked lost...as lost as her faded memories ...

Tumhe kaise pata bhoplai hai...

aree teacher hu itna toh GK hoga na ...she boasted

Aur yeh trumphet bajana aata hai ..ya sirf show ke liye rakha hai ...

Tumhe kyu lagta hai duniya ki saari khami mujme hi hai ...Zain asked with a mock anger masking his smile

Dad ne kaha tha ...bachkar to rehna padega na, her laugh was infectious... winding him in her charms all the way, every second

Zain smirked...Waise tumhare dad bahut strict hai na ...khadoos ... his face depicted a crooked chuckle

Kisne kaha .. she asked enraged by his allegations

Nahi shaqal par humesha bara baje rehte hai ...na koi smile, 

pata nahi unka naam Rehmaan kisne rakha ...Reham se mehroom hai woh ...his taunts had borne a wrong impression on her ..

She looked offended at him...Mere dad hai ...adab se baat karo ..bahut pyaar karte hai mujhse...

Haa sirf tumse hi karte hai ...he taunted again

Tumhe kyu jalan ho rahi hai ...tumhare nahi karte isliye..

Rhea realized before she blurted out the last words that it would hurt him bad ..real bad

He silently took his gaze away from her ...for a few moments to revive those painful moments of Osmans death ...yes losing his best friend was a wound that will forever remind him that he is an orphan ...and now Suraiya actually abandoning him he felt one ...completely alone...orphaned  

Mera who matlab nahi tha , she apologized...

She went and sat on the bed...and saw his blanket and pillow on the couch ...

Kya hua bed par nahi sote kya ...prying into his personal space unknowingly

Nahi, he said afraid to see her, his need to hold her and just lie next to her were growing every second...augmenting his desire to  pin her down on that virgin bed...

Kyu, she was gently moving her hands on the bhopali blanket ...as though inviting him to come join her ... alluring him in her fantasies

Khatmal hai kya ...she giggled...

Nahi chipkali ...she shrieked ...kaha and ran towards him ...

Zain saw she was holding his hand firmly...he was getting electrocuted ...every second ...

He forgot to say that he was just joking and just stood there like a dummy...smelling her presence so close to his body.. entrapping his urges  and deceiving his own conscious

Kaha hai ...she screamed again ...looking everywhere

Tum kab se darti ho chipkali se...

mai toh bachpan se darti hu ...she said like a child still clinging on to his strong arms for an unrequired protection from the evil lizard...his pull was coaxing her to cross her physical boundaries

But his cold hands, made her realize she was holding him too tight ...she left him midway..

Ice-cream khane chaloge...

Abhi ...

haa ...kyu koi problem hai ...

He sighed, mujhe kya ho sakti hai ...

to chalo ...he turned towards the door ...

Rehmaan was watching them ...

Rhea bete ...clinic ka thoda paperwork hai ...help kar do, Rhea looked torn ...

She never refused her dad ...aati hu dad ...

she looked back at Zain to speak in signs that she is sorry ...he nodded  and she walked out

Zain looked out to see Rehmans protective arms on Aaliya...  he was hurt to see her being taken away ...being rebuffed from her life ...be nibbled the pain and looked back at his room ...taking a deep breath ...one day ...like a spurned lover, he gently hid his hurt

Exactly at 11.00 pm Zain walked to her room ...standing behind the glass doors in the shadow of darkness, admiring her serenity ...it had been whole 24 hrs ...he walked back ...his head drizzling with happiness and hurt ...

His first 24 hrs of silence...first 24hrs of being alone...away from her...in his self-made asylum, a tomb of deserted relationship...and isolation ...he awaited like a prisoner looking out of those bars...waiting for the touch and the hug that would tranquilize his pain forever

Suraiya cried to see the dwindling shadow ...she knew he would come to take a peek at her face and he had ...

Meri chahat aur ibadat hai tu ...

Tu kya jaane meri jaan hai tu ...
