Broken

The Last Ride Together

Ok so since you people asked for a long chapter, here it is. I am really excited for you people to read this one. Will repeat the same thing, criminal procedures, no idea so sorry if I faltered there.

-----------------------------------------------------

Zoya was feeling uneasy. She couldnt breathe properly. She was fidgeting with her hands. She wanted to cry. She was really scared. Not that she was having her first case. She had fought earliar and won most of them. However, this time she had everything at stake. She was sitting in the court surrounded by her associates along with Arjun. With the corner of her eye, she looked at the table beside her in the same line. Arshad seemed pretty relaxed. He was having some conversations with his associates and was occasionally smiling. He turned to look at Zoya and passed a bright smile. Zoya didnt reply. Shr didnt feel like.

It really did hurt her. Arshad was her best friend. She remembered how he use to take care of her when she was in London. He helped her with studies, brought her food, arranged her an accomodation, cheer her up when she felt lonely. Arshad had no idea how grateful was Zoya for everything he had done for her. She could really do anything for him. Anything except fall in love with him. However, you cant blame her. Falling in love isnt something you think about and proceed. It happens just when it is suppossed to be.

Love cannot be forced. Like I have said, Love is a very powerful emotion. Falling in love isnt very difficult. The difficult part is staying in love. Love doesnt turn you bitter. It turns you kind. Revenge has nothing to do with love. Love is pure. Its unconditional. When you love , you have courage enough to overcome everything on its way. Even if that means no love in return. Love is something that makes your heart flutter and at the same time makes it calm. Just one smile of that person and you feel you have been blessed with utmost precious thing of heaven. Love is deep. Love is much beyond saying those 3 words. The emotion of love is too deep to fathom. Not you nor me can measure it. Nobody can. Love is an emotion you cant conquer. Love is that emotion that conquers you.Arshad never loved Zoya. He was in love with the idea of love.

Arjun could sense Zoya's nervousness. He placed his hand over her to calm her down. Sahir was sitting behind them with the commoners. Zoya looked at him and he smiled. Zoya had to fight today. Fight for that one smile. She and Arjun had done a lot of study and tried all possible theories. They have tried hard to contact Alveera but it was of no use. So far they couldnt really find something strong to defend Sahir. They were waiting for Arshad to present his case.

They all stood up as the judge arrived.
"Karywahi shuru ki jaaye."
Arshad bowed and began with the prosecution's case.
"My Lord, Mr. Sahir Azeem Chaudhary is charged with the case of double murder of his ex wife and his brother. On the night of December 15, 2012, Mr. Chaudhary murdered them in his house."
"Objection your honour." Zoya spoke. On permission being granted, she got up and stood beside Arshad, "My friend here is declaring results rather than presenting the case. He holds no such witness for the same. "

"Your honour, If you permit I would first like to call Mr. Sahir Chaudhary in the witness box." Zoya said.
"Permission granted."
Sahir moved to the witness box.
"So Mr. Sahir Chaudhary, I would first want you to tell where were you on the night of 15th December, 2012."
Sahir looked into her eyes. It held no emotions. It was plain. She was being a lawyer, not his wife at that very moment. Sahir took a pause and replied, " I was at Saiyaara's office arranging for a party."
"And did you see your wife and your brother that day?" Zoya asked following the procedure.
"Yes. When I came home I saw them together." He said without a change of tone.
"By together you mean?" Zoya asked. Though she knew it would hurt him but there was no other way.

"Sleeping with each other" Sahir said with a deep sigh.
"And what did you do?" She asked.
"I went to confront them and they were scared. They begged me for forgiveness. I was too shocked to reply. My brother was not in good state. He tried to shoot me. To defend myself I tried to stop him but he shot and it accidently hit my wife. He was so shocked that he shot himself soon after it."
"Thats all your honour." Zoya said and sat at her place.
