Broken

Strange. Isnt it?

One week ago-
Zoya is sitting in the office of Malhotra and associates, the biggest law firm of the country. Her heartbeat rapidly racing. Nonetheless, nothing dimmed the excitement in her twinkling  eyes.
"Miss Zoya Siddique, Mr. Malhotra has called you in his cabin." A girl informed Zoya.
Zoya quickly nodded and went to the cabin.
"May I come in Sir?" Zoya asked.
A grey haired old man dressed perfectly in navy blue suit and red tie gestured her to come inside and sit.
"So miss Siddique, I have read your resume. You have studied law in of the finest universities with top grades. However,you have no experience of work. So it will be a risk to hire you."
Zoya knew that this was the toughest part of this interview.
Zoya looked at him and said with much of confidence, " Sir everything has got a first time. Its how you make use of your oppurtunity. I will treat my first chance as my last." Her eyes still shining.
Rajeev Malhotra looked at the young girl and relaxed on his chair. After a very long time, someone has impressed him in the very first meeting.
"Ok miss Siddique. We are ready to work with you. However, you will be on provision period. Only when you prove yourself worthy, you will be appointed." Mr. Malhotra said in a cold voice.
"Thank you so much sir. I will definitely prove myself." Zoya said trying to suppress her excitement.
"Ok. Then here is your first project."
He took out a blue coloured file and handed it to Zoya.
Before Zoya could open it he said,"you have to work as a legal advisor for Mr. Sahir Azeem Chaudhary, President of Saiyaara fashion brand."
Zoya froze at her place. 'Sahir' she whispered to herself and bit her lips. It seemed as if Universe was purposely tormenting her. She didnt speak a word.
"Miss Siddique? Is something wrong?" Mr. Malhotra asked Zoya. "No..um..No sir." Zoya said coming out of trance.
"Perfect. Remember miss Siddique, Nothing should go wrong. Just because I feel you have potential, I am trusting you with an important project. We have been associated with Saiyaara for a long time. Also, not just for the sake of company's reputation,its personally very important too. Sahir is a close friend of mine. You need to take care of this."
Zoya quietly heard each and every word. Each word hitting her like a bullet. In the entire world, she was supposed to get her first project with Sahir? The same man whom she was supposed to get married to,3 years back? The one who went missing on their engagement day? She couldnt believe her fate. She had to return to him and she had no way to escape. This was her dream and finally she was getting an oppurtunity. She couldnt let it go for anything in this world. She had to face Sahir.
"Now miss Siddiqui, you will have to meet him soon. I will let you know when." Mr. Malhotra said.
She softly nodded and left the cabin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just then , a woman in her 30's pushed open his door. She was neatly dressed in white shirt tucked in black formal pants with a black blazer. Her hair was left loose and her hazel eyes , a little hesitant but shining bright.
She looked at the man facing his back towards her. She took a deep sigh and said,
"Hello Sir, this is Zoya Siddiqui, your legal advisor from now."
She bit her lips. It was finally the time she was going to meet Sahir Azeem Chaudhary in person.
Sahir didnt turn back immediately, the name kept ringing in his head. "Zoya Siddiqui!" He said to himself with lines appearing on his forehead. He took a deep sigh and turned to finally have a look at the woman who could have been his wife if he didnt run on his engagement day.
He turned and was shocked. "Ayesha!!!" His mind made a loud sound. He feared if she heard him.
Zoya stood there still. She could'nt believe her eyes. Sahir Azeem Chaudhary was the same man she had met 3 years back but with the name Asif. The one about whom she has been dreaming since past 3 years.The one whose life she saved on her engagement day. She couldnt believe the destiny. She met the same man she was suppossed to 3 years back on her engagement day but in a different situation. She couldnt believe she spent the entire night with the man she was suppossed to get married to back then. Zoya was too shocked to contemplate anything. All the flashbacks of that day came rushing to her.
Flashback.
"Ayesha?! Zyada dard ho raha hai kya. Ruk jao mai kuch laata ho. Kal unn aunty ne dawai lagai thi. Yahi kahi rakhi hogi." Saying this he was about to get up when Zoya held his hand and made him stop. She looked at him and unable to hold her emotions anymore broke into tears and placed her head on Sahir's chest. It came as a surprise for both of them. Normally, Zoya would'nt do any thing of this sort. Afterall he was just a stranger. She rested her head for a while. The tears made Sahir's shirt all wet.
