It Was Only You

❣ It was Only You [19] ❣

"Aap sahi thi.... Kyun ki Adi.. Aditya humse bepannaah mohabbat karthe hai Noor!"

Continued...

After few minutes passed by, the sisters were sitting on the window sill, staring at the gloomy night sky. The rain had ended and Zoya's mind was feeling odd. Her head was burdened with clashing thoughts, struggling to hurt her heart in the worst possible way.

She had taken too many bad incidents for the day and she knew she cannot handle anymore. She didn't have the fighting spirit in her, instead she felt weak.  

Whether she should be happy that they will be leaving for Mussoorie tomorrow, she should cry endless knowing that she will never visit Mumbai again, she should rejoice the fact that she'll be starting a new Event Management company with her abbu's support, Zoya couldn't come to a conclusion regarding her own feelings.

Mostly what pained her was the fact that she had stooped so low in front of Aditya before leaving the city forever. She couldn't even say a proper good bye to him. What might he be thinking about me? I just kissed him passionately to fulfill my heart's desire, it was a heat of the moment and without even seeing permission from him, I kissed him! I just cheated on our bond, behaving inappropriately!

Zoya pondered silently in her mind, the different thoughts that crossed her mind about Aditya. She didn't know what made her take such a drastic step to kiss Aditya but she didn't feel anything wrong with kissing him except hurting his sentiments by any means due to the bond they shared.

Yes, Aditya did admit that he loved her, in fact even without his clear acceptance he has fallen in love with her and he also confessed that it's his problem solely and she doesn't have to deal with it and he'll try to forget his rushed feelings but will she be able to forget his confession?

Zoya placed her hands on her head, trying to forget all which happened by closing her eyes firmly and massaged her forehead thoroughly. 

She for a moment wanted everything that happened within the past week, that took place in her life to vanish in to thin air, to fade away from her memories and start afresh, but who was she kidding? She wasn't powerful enough to change her bad time to good.

It's the real life Zoya was dealing with and she'll have to cope up with every obstacle that comes her way now that Aditya won't come to her rescue either.

Whether it is about leaving the city where she built her career successfully, where she found an identity for herself, an identity which she had never dreamt of in her lifetime to earn for herself with her own deeds and became a head-strong businesswoman or the fact that she'll have to leave Aditya behind.

Zoya was in a befuddled state to deal with the different equations that were running wildly, creating havoc in her heart. Meanwhile Noor stared at Zoya in an attempt to make small talk.

"Appi, aap teek hai? Hum nahi jaante hai ki hum aapko kya bataye, jiski wajah se aapko abhi keliye apne dil ko thoda sukoon miljaaye, shanti mil jaaye. Aapke saath ho kya raha hai, iske baare mein soch kar hume bohot bura lagraha hai appi. Aap ye sab deserve nahi karthi hai, aap jaanti hai na?"

Noor tried to calm down Zoya as she observed her blank face. Zoya said nothing but sighed. She slowly hugged her feet to herself and placed her head on top of her hands. Noor moved forward and patted Zoya's head.

"Aditya aap se pyaar karthe hai appi, isse badi sachchai aur kya hosakthi hai? Hume khushi hoti hai yeh jaan kar ki unhe aapki kitni fikra hai, woh aapki kitna care karthe hai. Jab aap hume Anjana aunty ki ginhoni bartaaw ke baare mein bataya tha, hume toh samajhme hi nahi aaraha tha ki us aurat ki himmat kaise hogayi aap ko aisi berehemi tarah se baat karne ki! Thodi sharam nahi bachi hai kya un mein? Aap ne koi gunaah bhi nahi kiya hai appi, bas Aditya aur aapki dosti bohot zyaada mazboot hai, aap dono ko ek dusre ki chinta hai aur Anjana aunty us wajah se aap se bohot nafrat karti hai. Kahi aap unke bete ko unse humesha keliye cheen na le.."
