Zindagi tu hai kaha

Chapter 6

She was nervous, he could make it out from the tiny gesture, her face was pale and her fingers were fidgeting and twirling around each other and her eyes were scanning everything expect him.He sat there observing her in the car. Aditya had insisted Zoya to sit in car when they found no help around. Zoya agreed with aditya because this place was dark and she didn't wished to land in another problem once again.
"I think zoya you should go back seat and sleep. I can take comfortable nap here. Close windows so we can be safe for night." He knew he was not alone , he was with a woman and her safety is priority.
"No.. I don't want to sleep." She quickly said while pushing her hairs behind her ear and sitting up straight.
"You don't have to worry zoya. I am here. You can trust me. Please its still some time for morning. And i think we will get help only then. So no use to tire ourself more. Just listen to me and go back." He said but zoya refused again. How can she sleep in a car with a stranger she hardly met.
"I..i am Okay. I want to sit here." She started while rubbing her arms. This cold breeze were sending chills down her spine.
"Its hardly matter of 4 hours." She added with a sweet smile.
Aditya nods and brings his hand on the button of his jacket. He unzips it. Zoya's eyes widens in fear. She starts to back off observing cautiously his every move. Aditya reads her eyes and chuckles. He removes his jacket and hands it over her. "Wear it. You will feel warm" Zoya sighs with relief and takes the jacket. She puts it around her and settles her hair.
"Close window. Its might not be safe. This place can have animals too roaming around. You never know" Aditya saying this starts closing his side of window. While Zoya follows him too being very scared about their situation.
Aditya eyes are set on zoya who is now leaning on window glass. She looked so scared so tensed. Her beauty just glowed under moon light. She had no makeup nor she was conscious about her hair and setting it time to time. She looked so innocent and Aditya just could not take his eyes off her.
"It will be good if you stop staring me like that." Zoya said while slowly opening her eyes.
Damn! He is caught. Aditya tried to look here and there and turns his face on other side , squeezing his eyes shut tightly.
Zoya glance at him and then looks back at sky. "When will morning happen?"zoya said to no one in particular.
"Why are you so stressed zoya?" Aditya was confused with his feelings he didnt like her being so stressed.
"I want to go to home. My family must be worried and he is also there. What he must be thinking about me?" She played with her locket and Aditya's ear perked up with mention of "he"
"Oh so you have a bf too?" He stated while reading her every move and expression.
"I dont have a bf. " Zoya lashed back "he is a man my father chosen for me. how can you be so judgemental? what do you know about me?"
He felt relief somewhere but again his heart gripped with unknown emotion "i don't know you. But i would like to know.." he is just about to finish his sentence when both of them turned their head towards zoya's window. There was someone standing out giving a tap on her side glass.
Aditya crooked his neck and could see a man with police cap. Zoya and aditya felt happy by police presence. She quickly sat the glass down.
"Hey you two. What are you doing here?" That man's voice screamed he had mistaken them for something else.
Aditya got a hint and he quickly got out of car."sir we were waiting for help. Our car got broke down.its not what you think!" Zoya looks at him puzzled. While aditya is trying his best to make them understand situation.
"Ae baig sahab ladka madad mang raha tha wo bhi gadi ke ander se" one hawaldar mocked aditya and the rest 3 including 1 senior officer started laughing.
"Ap log has kyu rahe hai? Ye sach bol rahe hai. Hum madad ke liye ruke the." Zoya voiced a little louder than her normal tone.
"Zoya tum chup raho" aditya shouted her. "Sir our car got broke down. Trust me."
"Acha so you two were inside car and asking for help? What kind of help haan?" He mischievously wringled his eyebrow and looked at zoya "bahot ache se help ki hogi na. Kaise hai?" Hawaldar said lowering his voice so that only aditya can hear.
His heart beat increased and he clenched his jaw trying to controll his anger. "Sir , its not what you think we belong to respectable family. Our car had broken down and we were trying for help." Aditya said while all the while focussing on zoya. She looked scared.
"Do you know him? Is he your friend?" One of hawaldar asked zoya.
Zoya looks at aditya and adi tries to say something with his eyes.
"No sir. He is not my friend." She said lowering her head.
Aditya squeezed his eyes in frustration. Why cant she just shut up!!!!
"Dost nahi hai? To kya fiance hai? Husband?" Hawaldar asked again.
Zoya snapped her head up and then quickly nods in no.
"He is not your friend, he is not your fiancé or husband? Is he from your family?" Hawaldar narrowed his eyes at zoya. Her heart diluted and she nods in no.
"Dhandewali hai tu?" Zoya's eyes stings and instantly tears form in her eyes.
"Hey!!" Aditya is about to hold hawaldar from collar but other police officer beats him and locks his body by stick around his neck.
Aditya struggles to get out of hold but fails as the other officer holds his hands from behind.
The one asking question turns behind and punches Aditya in his gut "on duty police officer pe hath uthayega?" He kicks him again and again till he feels tired and let other police take his place.
Zoya watched him terrified. Her mind dips in state of shock and it took few minutes to recover. "Sir dont beat him. Sir.. please" zoya tries to stop the police.
"Zoya No. You go from here. " He begs request between screaming out of pain.
Zoya refused to leave and tries to talk with officer but they began calling her prostitute and started talking about her rates. Aditya felt anger boiling inside him again. He begs zoya to stop talking and go from here while he warns police to not misbehave with her. Zoya brings her hand over her mouth to refrain herself from screaming when one of them punched aditya right on face and pool of blood starts oozing out of his mouth. Zoya runs to hold him but the other officer got the handcuffs out and puts on her hand. Two of them drag aditya and zoya in their jeep. "Bahot garmi hai na tujhme. Chal hawalat thanda krta hu tujhe"

Aditya begged and apologized officers to leave the girl alone. While zoya's struggled to help aditya.....
