*That same day, in the afternoon*

[Zoya and Aditya stood outside the temple, and Zoya looked at Aditya, who was clearly a bit scared of going in.

She gently held his hand and they entered the temple.

Zoya pulled the dupatta over her head and stood at a distance whilst she saw Aditya pray.
He kneeled down and prayed, before the Pandit applied tilak on his forehead, and gave him the holy offering in his hand.

In about 15 minutes, they walked out of the temple, and Zoya noticed how rejuvenated Aditya looked, almost like some divine intervention had transformed him.]

Zoya: Accha tha?

Aditya: (Smiling) Bahut zyaada...Yeh lo, prashaad

Zoya: (Smiling) Thank you...

Aditya: Dargah?

Zoya: Ji, ijaazat Ho toh?

Aditya: Ji, ijaazat hai, Chalo!

[They soon made their way to the dargah, and Aditya tied the handkerchief around his head, covering his hair, while Zoya pulled the dupatta over her head.

Whilst they both sat down to pray, Aditya's eyes were only fixed on Zoya, almost as though what he had asked for, was already given to him, in the form of Zoya.

He closed his eyes, and silently prayed, with the hopes of finding some answers from his god.]

Aditya: (Praying) Aap toh Sab jaante Ho...Aur aap toh Zoya ke khaas farishte bhi Ho...
Kabhi kabhi toh lagta hai Zoya kissi shiddhat se maangi hui dua ka nateeja hain...Woh Mere liye Kab, kyun, kaise ahem bann gayi, Main nahi jaanta...Lekin woh mahine, Zoya ke bina...Itna zyaada mushkil thay...Aisa lag raha tha jaise koi meri saansein cheen raha Ho...Pichli baar, Jab aapke dar par aaya tha, tab dhaaga baandhte waqt bhi, Maine Zoya ko hi dekha tha...

Aisa lag raha tha jaise minnat toh mein usski hi kar raha tha...

Aaj Jab usse dekhta hun, toh mera kal Itna khubsurat lagta hai, Yeh samjhauta Kab Itna khoobsurat lagne laga, Main nahi jaanta...Lekin aap par dheere dheere aitbaar home laga hai...

[Aditya opened his eyes a few minutes later to find Zoya looking at him and waiting. She too was surprised to see Aditya pray for so Long.]

Zoya: Kya baat hai...Itne der tak aap dua maang rahe thay? Itne khwaaish thay Kya?

Aditya: (Getting up) Nahi, khwaaish toh sirf ek thi

Zoya: Aur woh Kya hai?

Aditya: Dua ka zikr karo, toh na-muqammal Ho jaati hai...Bhool gayi Mrs. Zoya?

Zoya: Na-Muqammal? Kya baat hai! Aapko toh urdu Bilqul pasand nahi thi na?

Aditya: Haan..Lekin agar Urdu bolne waali pasand aa jaaye toh urdu bhi acchi lagne lagti hai

Zoya: (Blushing) Haye Allah! Kya kaha aapne?

Aditya: Kuch nahi! Ab chalein?

Zoya: (Smiling) Chaliye

[In the car, Zoya noticed that the bandage on Aditya's arm was coming off and he was bleeding profusely, so naturally, as soon as they reached home, Zoya took Aditya to the room.]

Aditya: Zoya...Maamoli si chot hai...Yaar, tum bhi—-

Zoya: Chup rahiye...Allah Khair karein, Itna Khoon Beh raha hai zakhm se

[She carefully cleaned the wound and applied a fresh dressing on it.]

Aditya: (Gazing at her)Bass. Issi ko yaad kar raha tha.
