Dil e Zar!

16

Next morning, Adara was ready at 8. She was roaming here and there. Bakhtawar came out and said
Bk: Adara Chalo khuch kha lo?
Ad: Nahi Amma sai, maine nahi khaana.
Bk: Mujhe DilRuba ne Bataya tha kay tumne kal bhi khuch nahi khaaya.
Ad: Mai baad mai lei loon gi. Please chale na.
Bk: Chalo.
They reached hospital and Adara rushed towards her room. As soon as they reached the room. Bhaktawar stayed outside, Adara went inside with swollen eyes. Zargham was laying with closed eyes. She hiccuped and palmed her mouth. Going closer, she held his hand which was partially blue maybe due to the pain. She kissed his knuckles and he stirred. He looked at her and held her hand. Adara looked at him and she ended up started hugging him. He placed his arm around her. She wept clutching his arm. Her heart was so scared to lose him. She in assurance kissed his hand. He with the same hand wiped her tears and said
Zr: Rona band karo mai theek hoon.
There was softeness in his voice today. She gulped the lump formed and said.
Ad: Agar khuch ho jata ap ko to mai maar jaati.
He was surprised hearing her. He caressed her hair and she held his hand closer to her face. He is a low tone said,
Zr: Aayi kyun nahi kal Sara din?
She moved her wet lashes down and started staring his chest. He raised her chin and said in a stern tone.
Zr: Mai khuch pooch raha hoon.
Her eyes got wet and she said.
Ad: Phopo Sai ne nahi aane diya.
He hugged her and she cried in his embrace. His eyes getting red in anger. He kissed her forehead and she said.
Ad: Zyada dard to nahi hai?
He nodded his head because he wanted to see her reaction. She slowly lifted his arm up and looked at his bandage. She with shivering hands slowly caressed it and blew air on it. He was just looking at her. She never confessed but he knew that she loved him. He looked at the door when Bakhtawar entered inside. Adara stood a little far giving her space. Bakhtawar caressed his face and said.
Bk; Allah tumhe apni hifaazat mai rakhein.
She smiled and said.
Bk: bass ab Chalo aj ghar, tumhari biwi ne ro ro kar bura haal kiya hua hai.
Zargham looked at her and she moved her lashes down.

Finally they came home and it was time when everyone left the room. Adara took his clothes out and placed them on the bed. The doctor strictly asked him not to move his arm. She with trembling hands,  his shirt and really carefully helped him. He was not wearing anything beneath. He looked at her who was blushing and her gaze on the bed. He made him look at her. She looked at him with red eyes indicating how much she has cried. He caressed her chin and she was so engrossed in looking in his eyes. He opened the clip of her hair and the loose tendrils fall on her face. She was getting relaxed in his arms. He held her waist and she placed her chin on his shoulder hugging him. She closed her eyes in peace. Zargham caressed her back and she sighed. She looked at him and said
Ad: Mai ap kay baghair nahi reh sakti.
Her eyes got teary and Zargham was speechless looking at the emotions in her eyes. He caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead.
Zr: Mujhe bhi tumhari Aadat ho gayi hai, kabhi mujhe chor kar mat jaana,
Ad: Kabhi nahi.
She hugged him again and he caressed her head.

Later that day, Zargham was really hungry but he was waiting for Adara who was taking shower. She came out with wet hair. Water cascading down her neck. She looked so tempting to him.. Keeeping her hair to a side, she hurridly placed the towel on the stand. Zargham was still gazing her intensely. When she felt a heated gaze over her self, she blushed but could not look at him. Moving out of the room, she went to the kitchen and made a tray for him.
Placing the tray on the bed, she sat infront of him. Slowly breaking small piece of roti, she dipped it in dal and brought it to his mouth. Zargham opened his mouth still gazing her. Mixing the dal with rice, she mixed it with pickle. Zargham ate happily as she fed him patiently. She fed him bhindhi with roti and when half roti was left, he said,
Zr: Aur nahi khaana.
Ad: Adhi roti hi to reh gayi hai.
Zr: Tum khao yeh,
He forcefully made her eat roti and some rice, wiping his face with tissue, she said.
Ad: Dawaai dei doon?
Zr: Thori dair baad,
She nodded and went to the table placing the tray, she cleaned her hands and sat on the dressing table. As she started brushing her hair, her eyes went to Zargham who was looking at her, the tarsals of her dress were open. He got up and came closer to her. Making her stand, he caressed her wet locks. Gazing straight in her eyes, he pulled her closer with his left hand and said.
Zr: Kaash mere pass alfaaz hote, iss khoobsurti ko bayan karne kay liye.
A red hue caught her cheeks. He bent on her face ans whispered,
Zr: Adara tum mujhe sab se zyada aziz ho. Mujhe nahi farq parhta koi mera saath deta hai ya nahi. Lekin jab tum mere pass nahi hoti to mujhe lagta hai kay meri dunya adhoori hai. Tum mujhe mukammal karti ho.
Adara felt her eyes getting teary. Did he just confess for the first time? Her happiness had no boundries.
Zr: Tum khuch nahi kaho gi?
Ad: Mai kya kahoon? Meri to poori dunya hi aap hai.
Zargham smiled in kissed her forehead.
