Broken

Waiting for you,death

It was all dark around. The stars were twinkling in the sky. Giving the stars a really tough competion was a glistening head piece(Maang Tika) ,adorned with diamonds that rested upon Zoya's head. She could have easily been spotted because of that but she knew she was in a place far away from people who would drag her back to life she is'nt willing to live. The river in front of her was calm. Infact, Lucknow was a city she really loved. She was born and brought up here and she knew everything about this place. However, this very place has brought her to the nightmare of her life.
Flashback
"Ouch, are you crazy, lady?" A tall handsome man yelled at Zoya in the university campus.
"Excuse me? Thats how you talk? Hum aapse maafi maang chuke hai na. Aap ek number ke besharam, behaya aur Kamsarf insaan hai. " Zoya replied fuming in anger. Though it was her fault that she had stepped on this man's foot but his behaviour pissed her off so much that she regretted apologising to him.
"O madam, I come here to study not to hear somebody's high profile urdu. Next time, be careful." The man walked away with a smirk on his face. Probably he was the first one in the college to treat Zoya Siddique, daughter of Waseem Siddique,like that. However, Zoya couldnt help but notice how good looking he was. She later asked one of her classmates " Who was that man? Do you know his name?"
"Yash Arora" came a reply.
Flashback ends.
"Bas ussi din humse galti ho gayi thi Yash, hum aapse pehli nazar mein pyaar kar baithe the." She smiled sarcastically and looked at bruises on her hands.
Zoya was looking extremely beautiful today. She was dressed in a semi bridal attire. Wearing a pink color lehnga, she looked no less than an angel. However, something was missing in her. Something one holds on their engagement day. Happiness.Zoya's eyes were filled with tears. It was her engagement today and she somehow had managed to escape. She very well knew the consequences of being found, yet the place she was currently in was calm.
"Hume maaf kar de Abbu. Hum jaante hai ki aap sirf hume khush dekhna chahte hai lekin yeh nikaah sabhi ki zindagi barbaad kar dega. Abbu, humne toh uss ladke ki shakal tak nahi dekhi hai, sirf aapki khushi ke liye haan kar di thi humne, hume pata tha ki isse aapko business mein bhi fayda hoga lekin hum yeh nahi kar paaye Abbu. Hum ab kisi se pyaar nahi karna chahte. Pyaar mein sirf dard hai. Hum door jaa rahe. Ho sake toh hume maaf kar dijeyega" Zoya recorded the audio message but could not gather the courage to send it to Waseem. She knew the havoc that would have been at her place right now. She was only thankful that it was just a private ceremony and thankfully no media houses would make a chaos of it. If nothing atleast Waseem will be spared of unnecessary media chaos.
There have been so many days that Zoya has thought of ending her life. Living was really painful for her. Yet she was holding onto life because she believed in miracle. She believed in love as well but that was before she got married to Yash Arora.
Just when Zoya was lost in her thoughts silently staring at the river, she saw a dark figure walking on the banks of river. There was something strange about the way he was walking. He seemed lonely and if Zoya would have been in a better state she would have gone to talk to him but how can an already broken heart try to heal another? Zoya quietly watched him walk. He was a tall man with long hair. However, his face was'nt visible, partly because it was dark, partly because he was at some distance from her.
Suddenly, in a fraction of second she saw the man fall . She was shocked and scared. After a few seconds when she noticed no movement, she ran towards him. The man layed there motionless with his face burried in sand. With much of efforts, Zoya turned his body only to see his wrist slit and blood oozing out. he had knife in the other hand.
" Ya Allah!!!" Zoya screamed with tears running down her eyes. She couldnt believe what she saw. She was all alone with a man who had attempted suicide and whom she badly wanted to save but how?
------------------------------------------------------
Hii, so this is my second fan fiction. I so wanted to write one for Zoya and Sahir because we already had Sahir and maya, Adi and Maya and obviously Adi and Zoya so this was  somewhat pending. The idea struck me after I saw a very beautiful VM on the very same concept by Adhira. Also , I have been reading lot of good contents here so just tried to learn few things. Also what do you think Yash Arora has done? And who is that man? Why did he try to kill himself? How will she save him? Will she? Do let me know if you liked it or not. Please leave comments. ❤
