Red Rose Black Heart
Sambhal jae tu sochain ga...
Behal jae tu sochain ga...
Kuch zara sa behak gai hain ek rah par aye tu sochain ga...
"laal gulab tumha pasand hain???"she asked in a questioning tone while sitting beside her friend who was straightening her red dupatta...
"Han han..han Izra kitni baar batao...mujha laal rang pasand hai kyun ka laal gulab mujha acha lagta hain...koi mujha laal gulab de dai tu main usa apna dil tray main rakh kar da dun..."she replied excitedly making her friend roll her eyes...
"Ashfaq..Ashfaq..."she shouted loudly as her eyes fell on the vase filled with red roses...
"Yes ma'am..."her timed PA ran inside being fully aware that his short temper boss will eat him alive if he took a moment more...
"La jao is vahiyat chez ko yahan sa...meri nazron ka samna na aye ya kabhi..."she said as her eyes turn red from the anger...while Ashfaq took the whole vase along with flowers and ran outside...
She stood in her place ranging as the redness in her eyes flowed down streaming towards her checks in the form of tears...
She crouched down holding the table as she felt immense pain in her heart...
"Mujha puloon sa itni muhabat karana ka bad ya nafrat mera dil main kyun bhar di..."she looked up as she complained to the creator of this world...
"Maina tu kabhi kisi ka bura nahi chaha mera liya phir ya dard kyun..."she cried as she tucked her face on her knees...
She said for God knows what getting lost in her own sorrow even after years...
"Mummy..mummy..."she heard the making her wipe her face in panic as she straightened her posture getting up as her life line ran towards her making her crouched down hugging her tightly....
While she smiled understanding that despite losing everything..she earned something precious that was more important than the happiness of the whole universe...

"Amma wo bohat acha hai...ap ek bar mil tu lain...wo mujh sa bohat muhabat karta hai...mujha hamesha khush rakha ga..."she pleaded like a child who was devastated hearing her words...
Because they weren't unfamiliar with his family and their way of living and nobody in their right mind would be able to give away their precious daughter to a family like that.....
"Zaria..."she turned with a smile as her eyes shinned with adoration in them...his mere whisper was like a magic that run long with the flow of blood...
It was like she was hypnotized by everything he does...
The way he spoke..the way he moved... everything related to him was beautiful....
"Put your hands up for our honorable guest Miss Zaria Hayat..from Aydin's Paradise..."
She moved with confidence as people around her applaud for her achievements....
"Bahi Allah ka wasta mujha is boring party sa jana dain..."he pleaded with hushed voice as the sound people cheering for someone echoed at the back...
"Thodi der chup kar ka beth jae Asher..."his brother scolded him making him pout...
He sat behind where Umair was trying to control his laugh on his condition...
"Chup kar ghada..."Asher snickered snatching the plate of snacks from his hands...
"Han han kar la tera bhi bus sirf mujh par chalta hai.."Umair said gritting his teeth while rolling his eyes...
"Waisa tu yahan kya kar raha hai..."Asher asked dusting the invisible dust from his sleeves..
"Teri nahosat hai sari...jahan tu wahan mujha lazmi ana hota...khud tu musibat main phasta hi hai sath main free fund main mujha aisa hi plus one bana lata hai.."Umair replied while Asher just rolled his eyes at his best friend's melodrama...
"Chal mera sath...zara explore tu karain ird gird...ko..."he said with wink making Umair run behind him... knowing fully well that his best friend is in for yet another trouble...
"Pata nahi kon bechari bad kismet ho gi jiski shadi tujh sa ho gi aur meri jaan chuta gi...."Umair said catching up to him while trying to match his steps...
"Mujhsa shadi...mujh sa shadi karna wali koi amm ladki thoda hi ho gi..wo tu is duniyan main sab sa alag ho gi..."he said putting his hand around Umair's neck as they walked down the empty corridor...
"Aur jis din mujha muhabat ho gi na....tu ya duniyan dekha gi...
Asher Rahman Kazmi ki anokhi muhabat
He said opening his hand wide tilting his head with a cocky smile making Umair shake his head... knowing fully well that his friend is crazy and he is the one and only piece in this world who is like this....
"Dekh lain ga teri anokhi muhabat ko bhi..."Umair said putting his hand around Asher's neck the same way as they moved towards the second floor that was particularly empty as the event was happening on the ground floor....
Both were laughing as they moved around but stopped on their place as they heard the shrill voice of someone in distress
"Aghhhh....."
They gave each other a look before running towards the source of sound not caring about the possible danger...
And that was the day Asher Rahman Kazmi lost his heart...to someone distressed eyes.... becoming their slave for eternity....
