JUNOONIYAT ~ A Crossover Love Story

18 - No Interruptions

Aditya's heart didnt calm down even for a second on his journey to the hospital. He couldnt keep count of how many people he bumped with, all he worried about was Zoya. Reaching the floor to her ward, he saw the Zosh staff waiting outside with worry glued on their faces. Their state frightened Aditya more.

"She has to be okay. She has to be okay." He chanted to himself. Aditya's heart came to a stop, the thought of Zoya laying on a hospital bed invaded his mind which made his head spin harder.

Stumbling towards them, he cleared his throat. He didnt want to ask about Zoya since he didnt know whether he would be able to take in a negative answer. Everyone looked at him, the tension evident on their faces.

"Sir, ap a gaye.." Akanksha silently said. Not able to handle the silence anymore, he asked with a heavy heart, "Zoya.. Zo..Zoya th..thik hai?"

There was a brief silence. Before he could get a response, Maya stormed inside and ran to them frantically, Sahir followed behind.

"ZOYA KAHA HAI?!! us-usko kya hua KOI JAWAB DOH u....usko kya huaa ADITYA! Aditya batao na Zoya ko kya hua ye log kya keh rahe hain?!!!???" Maya cried. Her whole body was shivering, tears streamed down her cheeks and her throat choked up.

"Maya she is okay, please shant ho jao!" Sahir tried to calm her down. He held her arms and made her face him, but she shook his hands away and stepped back.

"SHE IS NOT OKAY. She.. she isnt okay Sahir... she isnt... " her lips trembled, she didnt know how to feel. Zoya was the only family she had left, the only person that she even had in her life. Realisation hit her as she recalled how her behaviour with Zoya was for the past few weeks. Did she even have the right to sympathise with the others for Zoya? She was so blinded by Sahir's love that she let it overpower her love for her very own sister. Maya clenched her fists and closed her eyes tightly, feeling disgusted at her own self.

"Maya.." Sahir breathed out, he knew exactly what was going on in her mind.

Sahir stepped towards her but she stumbled back. "Nahi Sahir," her voice broke, "M..Mujhe koi haq nahi hai yaha rehne ka." Before Sahir could respond, Maya ran out of the place. "Maya!!" Sahir called out.

"Shit! Mujhe uske peeche jana hoga! Adi, tu.." Sahir turned towards Aditya and was about to tell him to handle everything while he'd go after Maya, but in the midst of all the mess he forgot that Aditya was equally shattered as well. There was Maya on one hand and Aditya on the other, who should he handle?

Looking at the Zosh staff, he felt a little relief. "Aap log please Adi ka khayal rakhna, i- i have to go. Maya is halat mein kuch bhi kar sakti hai! Mujhe jana hoga."

"Bhai, ap jao, ill be....fine. Maya ke pas koi nahi hai is waqt, ab jaiye." Aditya said in a very low tone. Cupping Aditya's cheeks, Sahir continued, "Mai abhi araha hoon Adi, tu bait aur zyada tension mat lena, sab thik hojayega samjha?" Sahir couldnt help but shed a few tears seeing the state of Adi. He hugged him tightly. "Please apna khayal rakh. Sambhal khud ko." Giving Aditya one last look, Sahir stormed out of the place.

Aditya collapsed on the seat. He was numb, nothing has been going well for him ever since Zoya left. He covered his face with his palms while trying to console himself. "Zoya thik hai Adi, woh thik hai. Kuch nahi hua use." His mind split into different voices, one saying what he wanted to hear, one saying the possibilities of reality, and one saying this is all a bad dream.

After a while, a doctor finally came out of the room. Aditya rushed to him in an instance.

"Doctor Zoya kaisi hai!!??" Aditya immediately asked.
"Accident ka impact sabse zyada sar pe lagi hai, it was a minor yet a little serious accident, she is safe now dont worry. Baki chot haath pe lagi hai but we bandaged it so everything is fine. Aap unse mil sakte hai." The doctor replied before walking away.
