"Abbu...bas kijiye...humare shohar se baat kar rahe aap hai bhuliye mat", Zoya said stopping her father who was cursing Aditya
"aisi bachkani harkate na kiya kare Mr. Siddiqui...in fact hume aapse baat karke apna time waste bhi nahi karna hai...aap ja sakte hai", Zoya sternly showed him the door
"aur Meeta, aurat hai na aap ek...ayinda paiso ke liye kisi ke suhaag ko ujaarne se pehle do baar soch lijiyega...kyunki ek ladki hone ke naate aap kabhi nahi chahengi ki apki shaadi shuda zindagi mein koi teesra aaye"
saying this she stood there quietly waiting for them to leave
before leaving Roshnaq came to Aditya and placing a hand on his shoulder she spoke,
"hum jaante thhe aap aisa kar hi nahi sakte...magar kya karein ma hai na Zoya ko uss halat mein dekhke aur kuch samaj hi nahi aaya...apni ammi ko maaf karenge aap?", tears filled her eyes
"ammi...", saying only this much he hugged her, they stayed like that for sometime before breaking the hug
Then caressing Zoya's cheeks she went out with her husband, leaving both of them at peace

"Aditya...humara baccha... please use bachaye please", Zoya was sweating heavily in her sleep as she had this horrifying dream of someone beating her trying to kill her baby
"koi hai... please help...koi hai help... please", she shouted in her sleep calling for help, it was then Aditya woke up from his deep slumber all worried
"Zoya...Zoya", he tried to wake her up seeing her condition
"Aditya", she sat up panting
Without waiting for even a single moment he engulfed her in a bone crushing hug and kept running his palm over her hair and back to calm her down, he knew that the event of the day had somewhere affected her deeply, though she put up a brave front but any women would be affected by whatever happened and that too when she is pregnant...her hormones must have been making her restless
"Aditya", she whispered near his chest, holding him tightly, she came back to reality
"humne kya bigada hai kisi ka, kyun humare saath hi aisa... Aditya?", tears rolled down her eyes as she asked him this, she is carrying their baby inside her all she wants now is peace and happiness for her baby to grow healthy but the world refuses to give them that, they are fighting a war that feels never ending but both keep fighting it holding each other's hand and they will continue to do so
"kuch nahi Zoya...shhh...rona band karo please", he kept caressing her head and back holding her close to him making her feel his presence which she needed the most in this phase of her life
"please hume yaha se dur le jaiye Aditya...kahi bohot dur...hume nahi rehna in logo ke beech mein... please", she requested him tired of her own father
"nahi Zoya...hum galat nahi hai...hum kyun jaaye apna sabkuch chhodke...hum yahi rahenge...aur ladenge khud ke liye aur apne bachhe ke liye...meri strong girl ho na tum...tum toh meri takat ho agar tum himmat haar dogi toh main kaise strong rahunga...ha", he cupped her face and kissed her forehead letting his lips linger over her skin for sometime for he knew it would calm her down
"hmmm", she hummed closing her eyes feeling his touch over her skin...

3 MONTH LATER
Zoya nahi jaana yaar mujhe...tumhe aise chhod ke kaise jaoo", Aditya slept laying his head on Zoya's lap who was sitting on the bed
"Mona hai na Aditya humare saath...aur koi bhi problem hui toh hum aapko call karlenge", she was literally convincing her first child to go to work
