Part 8 - The Phone Call

Aditya Hooda witnessed the vulnerable side of Zoya Siddique that night. The girl with whom he was fighting over a chicken sandwich few hours ago is sobbing like a little child.

Zoya felt awkward finding Adiya there. She wanted to avoid Aditya.

Are you okay mrs. Arora? Any problem? You are not well? Should I help you?

Nahi hum theek hai. Yea hamara personal mamla hai aap dur rahiye inse.

Haan leken...

Humne kaha na hum theek hai. Akela chodh dijiye humein.

She pushed him and went running from there inside her room.

Aditya couldn't understand what exactly he should have done that moment!

Flashback ends...

So Mrs. Zoya Arora congratulations! Finally tumhari treatment asar kar raha hai. Soon to be mommy keliye best wishes.

Aditya sarcastically laughs congratulating her.

Apko kaise yea sab?

Usdin tum phone par jab doctor se baat kar rahi thi tab Maine sab sun liya tha Zoya.

Dekhiye humein isbareme baat nahi karni hai. Aap jaiye yahan se. Hum nahi chahte ki Yash humein or aapko is tarah yahan dekhe.

Kyun? Tumne bataya nahi Apne pati Ko? Waise toh bahut pati brata patni banti thi us waqt! Kya hua?

Aap humein tane mar rahe hai?

Ji nahi mam. Taane nahi mar raha hoon. Tumhe Haqeeqat se wakib karwa raha hoon. Waise toh bahut sacchai ki murti banti phirti ho leken aj kya hua? Sach se kyun bhag rahi ho? Kyun mujhe dekhke bhaag jati ho? Kyun apne pati Ko nahi bata payi ajtak yea baat? Pati hai na tumhara? Samjhega tumko yehi kaha tha na tumne? 3 saal mein waqt nahi mila tumko yea batane mein?

Allah k vaste chup kijiye aap. Aap bata paaye Apne Biwi Ko? Bata paye pura sach? Bata paye Mr. Aditya Hooda ki us raat hamara aur apka nikah hua tha? Bata paye usko kyun or kaise yea sab?

Zoya's voice chocked up! She was struggling to speak.

Isiliye toh tumhe dhund raha tha Zoya. 3 saal laag Gaye. Sach batane keliye hum dono ka milna zaruri tha. Yea Aisa sach hai jo akele akele bataya nahi ja sakta tha Zoya.

Hum us nikah Ko nahi mante yea aap bhi acche se jante hai Aditya. Woh nikah Kyun or kis halat mein hua tha yea bhi aap jante hai. Is baat ko na hum yehi khatam kar dete hai. Yakeen maniye kisiko kuch khabar nahi hoga. Bhool jate hai. Yehi sahi rahega.

Agar yea itna asan hota Zoya toh main tumse Milne keliye itni mahenat nahi karta.

Matlab? Kya kahe rahe hai aap?

Altaf Mumbai mein hai. Maine usko kuch din pahele Mumbai mein dekha tha. Zoya agar usko pata chal gaya ki...

Nahi nahi Aisa nahi ho sakta. Altaf wahan kaise... Usko toh humne.. Nahi Aisa nahi ho sakta.. woh zinda hai?

Sshhh...shh.. Zoya calm down.. calm down Zoya.. yeh sach hai. Altaf zinda hai ... Or Mumbai mein hai.

Aditya tries to comfort Zoya. They shared an usual comfort despite knowing each other for hardly few days dat too two years ago. It was something unsaid something very strange kind of a care.

Roshni kahan hai Aditya? Zoya asked in low voice. Woh thik toh hai na?

Tumhe Roshni yaad hai? Mujhe laga ki tum bhul gayi hogi apni duniya mein aake...

Yaad kaise nahi hoga? Yea kaisi batein kar rehe hai aap Aditya? Hum kya apko itna khudgarz nazar aate hai? Roshni hamare liye... Uske liye toh hum...
