He looks at her,the moment he heard her voice,they were seeing each other after whole 5days which seems years for them...

Her face is not as pale as it was before,the wide eyes are holding little hurt and confused thoughts,she is dieing to see her husband and here He is.. Finally..

His shocking expression turns to a bit angrier when He get the whole situation.

Yes,she did that thing purposely,because there is no way He is coming simply on his own,if he want to,he had did that long ago.

She already sensed it,something is definitely wrong otherwise it's impossible that He will not come to see her in first place,no matter how busy he would have been,

He will make sure to give her time or at least came to see her and the very situation she is in right now it's not making any sense to her..

Today when Dr.shehroz came to check up on her before going to home,coincidentally she heard him talking to the nurse about sending all her reports to someone,later she confront the nurse and when she looked at the email address she was shocked and then she understood why everyone is behaving so unusual today..

So she asked the nurse to help her to inform Asfand about her,initially the nurse was not at all ready to do it knowing Dr.Asfandyar Ali Kha,you can't do this,it's not that simple but Zubia has very good equation with each individual in hospital so you can't refuse her Also and Zubia makes sure that it will not effect her job...

Kya huwa,Ab Ap Kuch bolenge bhi nahi.. Haan..

She said and slowly sat up as the wound is not completely healed..

NURSE ...NURSE...

Instead of giving answer to her,He stand up from his place,and shouted.

Koi nahi aayega..Yahn Sirf AAP hain.. MERE sath..

He get the meaning of it and moment HE looked at her and her eyes are moist,she is holding herself from breaking down...He looked away..

Apko Kya laga,Apka mujhse naa milna..sab logon ka Koi na Koi excuse banate rahena..aur ye sonchna ke mai yaqeen karlungi..

Jo shaqs Sirf mere qhansne ye cheenkh ne par pareshan hojaye,

halke se buqar keliye saara ghar Sar pe uthale..

Magar Itne Bade hadse ke Baad mujhse milne na aaye Kyun woh Apne kamon me busy hai..

she laughed sarcastically..

Meri mohabbat itni kamzor nahi hai Asfi.. Khud se Zyada jaanti hoon Mai Apko

A lone tear escapes from her eye..

She waited for an answer but He is standing as He heard nothing..

She took a hold on his wrist..

Pulling him to sit on the bed.. He sat..

Asfi..kya Baat hai please batayen mujhe..

He feel that touch after so long,he feels lively.

Koi Baat nahi hai..

He said..but not dare to look in HER eyes..

Koi bhi Baat nahi hai...Tou phir yahi Baat meri Ankhon me dekh ke kahen..

Look at me..

She demanded..

'I can't,I can't...please don't make it more difficult for me than already it's,darta hoon,un Ankhon me apne liye mohabbat dekh kar kamzor na padh jaon..khudkarz na banjaon'

Asfi..she again called him,he is still looking down..

Please meri taraf dekhen.....

Look at me,it hurts and you know that..

She said...

'I know you are hurting but it's hurting me more knowing that this all because of me..but I promise myself that it will not be longer'

Please...

this time her voice tremble and heavy as she plead...He feel pathetic of himself..and he looked at her..

He is seeing her so closely,his eyes were not foreign to her but something has changed or he don't want show to her,it's guarded but why..

Tum Jo.. Sonch..rahi ho...Aisa Kuch b nahi hai..

He finally said.. Breaking the eye contact before she start to read through it..

Aap Kuch bhi nahi kehne wale haina... Tou phir ab meri bhi Baat ache se sunle..

Mai yahan se kahin nahi jarahi..Kahin bhi nahi..mujhe nahi pata ap ye sab Kyun kar rahen hain..

Lekin Mai kahin nahi jaongi...

He looked at her shocked but does not shown..

Mere qayal hai ke Mai tumhare liye faisle lesakta hoon..

He said...But it was more like a question,like he asking her if He could take decision for her or not..

She looked at him so confused...

Aap mujhse wabasta woh Saare iqtiyar rakhte hain Jo shayad mujhe Khud par bhi naa ho..

aur Aap ye jaante hain..

She said..

Aap chahte hain Main yahn se jaon...

She continue..

He remains silent..

Pata hai Kya..Aap ke yahan hote huwe Maine apko Khud se itna door Kabhi mehsoos nahi kiya Jitna Aaj..

Ap mere pass hain par..

She don't have a heart to continue that line...she immediately looked down and closed her eyes..

He just stared at her and something inside him break again,that look on her face piercing his heart,,,He felt her hold tighten on his wrist...

Before He or She said anything,a knock on the door and a female duty doctor came in..

Asfand stood up on his place..

"I'm sorry for disturbing...ek emergency hai,Dr.Zeba apka Puch rahin hain.. Sir"

She said looking nervous...

He nodded and turned in his way to walk but Zubia's held on his wrist,stopped him..

Nahi...Ap jaake Dr.Shahab ya kisi Aur ko inform Karen..

Dr.Asfand Abhi busy hain

Zubia said to the doctor.

she don't want to let him go until she got answers for her questions..

The doctor look at him and her confusingly..

Zubia...

He said her name for the first time , she instently looked at him with moist eyes...

Please...

She aging pleaded shaking her head as no..

Zubia...

He said it again so helpless but the his face had that 'responsibility' expression.. She knows that,it is silly of her to say that..

But her heart is not at peace..

He slowly opened her hold from his wrist and immediately walked away,leaving her with tears and so many unsaid answers...

He came out of her room and sighed..

' Hold yourself,you can't be weak at this point,this is best for her and you have to do it..'

Asfand got busy with emergency case and after getting free from there He asked nurse about Zubia,

she informed Gaiti is there with her, after listening about the whole Canada news Gaiti has hardly talk to him or only professionally..

As usual Asfand left the hospital early morning nearly at fajr time..

He prayed,fresh up,on saying of break fast he hardly have juice,

Lubna try to talk with him but He shortly answered her and left from there..

Now Usman is also suspicious about his behavior..

He reached hospital and decide to look at Zubia..He slowly pushed the door,usually she is not heavy sleeper but now a days because of the medicines and weakness she would slept little longer..

Today for his surprise Zubia was not there,the bed was empty.. He came inside and check out,may be She is in bathroom but there also no voice or anything.. He got worried..and then he turned to bed side...

He saw a folded paper kept beneath the medicines trey.. He took out the paper and opened it...

Mai nahi jaanti Aap ye sab Kyun kar rahen hai magar itna pata hai ke Mai apko aise anjaan sa nahi dekh sakti..

apko istarha door mehsoos Karne se behtar hai ke Mai Khud door Chali jaon..

Mera wajood Apko ko pareshan kare ya Aap par boojh banjaye..

mai ye nahi dekh sakti..janti hoon Apko meri ab bhi utni hi fikar hai Lekin please meri tension naa len..

mai khala ke yahn nahi jarahi so please Ap khala ammi ko call mat kijiye ga...

Apna khayal rakhiye gaa...

Khuda hafiz..

Sirf Apki

Zubia

When He registered the words it felt like his world is ending..Everything is ending..

He abruptly took out his phone and dial her number but her phone is switched off...

He runs out to the reception.. And asked everyone about it but no one had any answer to his question..

The watchman has asked her to called a cab or something but she denied..He just give the direction were she walked out..

He called his friend Shehryar and asked him to trace her number and informed him as soon as he get any details..

He came in to his cabin,sat down keeping his glasses off.. And looking at the paper in his hand...

He had not felt this weak the moment He is in..she just left.. Like that..But the words she wrote in that letter it clearly indicates how she feels about it,EVERYTHING is going around..

How can she think she is burden on him or her existence is disturbing him..this line makes him feel like His existence is not valuable if she thinks like that...

And that last line 'Sirf Apki Zubia' is piercing his heart every time he look at the paper..

'I'm sorry,I'm sorry...Kahan ho tum...

Zubia ek baar mujhe Baat karne ka mouqa do..Please'..

Haroon came in..

H:Asfand ye sab Kya horaha hai..Zubia ka message aaya hai Gaiti ko..Kahan hai woh.. Asfand...

A:nahi janta bus itna janta hoon is sab ka zimmedar Mai hoon..

Maama aur Baba ko Kya kahonga.. Gaiti bhabi tou mujhe Kabhi maaf nahi karengi...

H:Aunti ko pata hai..he informed and Asfand looked at him.. Aunti ko bhi Zubia ka message mila hai.. She said don't worry about her she'll call but she doesn't said when..

He closed his eye bowing down his head and remain for few minutes.. He don't know how to face his family and how he'll find her it's like she had punish him for what he did.. She can reach out to him when she wants but He can't...

Haroon called his name he came out of the trance..

A:Mai aise hath pe hath rakh ke naho baith sakta.. Mujhe Kuch Karna hoga..No she can't just leave..I have a solve this..

I have to at any condition...

Haroon bhai please ap hospital me rahen.. Dr.Shehroz bhi yahn nahi hai..

Please....

H:you don't worry.. Agar Kuch ho tou please mujhe call kardena.. Lekin tum aise dhoondoge Kahan..

A:Mujhe nahi pata...but I can't sit like this.. Maine shehryar se Baat ki hai..dekhte hain.. Mai chalta hoon..

He collect the letter, car keys and his glasses and left for the office..

Haroon sends a message and left from there..

Seen........

All day Asfand was only waiting for one clue from her..a message or call on anything..

He was constantly in touch with shehryar... He visited all the places where she probably can go...

Usman called him once or twice and asked about the situation..Asfand don't want to go home without her.. He doesn't have any energy left to face the family members..

At last he again came back to the hospital but instead of going inside He just turned towards the garden area in the back yard..

He simply sat down looking in the dark sky which seems to be never-ending but there is a hope of light,the moon...

Zubia always admire the moon and the fact that 'how it shines so beautifully having all the scars in it and stand out so gracefully among so many stars around'..

This always gives her a sense of believe how a person can be at its best with all the flaws and still can be strong enough to make a change around themselves...

Asfand is in his own thoughts when a felt a hand on his shoulder.. A smile appears when he turned to look at it was Haroon..

Haroon sat beside him,Asfand again shifted his gaze to the sky...

Haroon started the conversation seeing that He is not going to open up..

H:Jab Baba ki death huwi thi..mai Bahut hil gaya tha..aisa lagta tha ke Koi Bahut bada Khali pan Aagay hai zindagi me..woh mere zindagi ka sabse bura waqt tha...

mujhe samjh nahi aayi ke Mai Kya karunga...sab kaise manage karunga..Meri nayi nayi shadi huwi thi tabhi.. Zahir hai zimmedariyan bhi badh gai thi..

Magar Kuch Karne ka dil ni chahta tha..

Kyun ke Baba nahi honge..

mujhe samjhane,mujhe sabashi dene.. Meri ghalatiyon ko piont out karne Aur sahi rasta dikhane keliye..

Aise me mere jeene ki wajah meri family thi.. Unki life me Koi problems na ho.. Iska Mai pura qayal karta tha jaise Baba rakhte the..

Jab Kuch saloon Baad meri wife ki death Hogai.. Zindagi ne phir mujhe ussi raaste pe laa kadha kiya..

Jeene ka Koi Maqsad nahi tha.. Magar Mai itna Khudgarz nahi hosakta tha ke Maama ko akela chod doon is puri duniya me..

Phir Maine Unke liye jeena shuru kiya..Hospital ki add dekhi tou yahn chala aaya..bheed me Khud ko Masroof Karliya..

Magar is baar zindagi Bilkul safaid se hogai thi.. Berang...jeeraha tha Magar chaha nahi thi...

Uske Baad Saim ne meri meri zindagi ki woh saari khushiyan Aur woh Saare rang doba louta diye...

Mujhe ek Aisa strong life partner mila..

Ek itni khubsurat family Mili Jo hamesha ek dusre ke sath hoti hai...

Ab Mai Sirf Isliye Jeena chahta hoon ke mere bete ko kisi bhi qisam ki problem na ho,

Gaiti keliye woh strong pillar bansakun jiska woh Sahara len saake..

Maama ki woh chuti si khushi woh muskurahat ka zarya ban sako..

Asfand Zindagi Bahut uljhi cheez ka naam hai.. Jisko Humne suljhana hota hai...

For the first time Asfand looks at him..Haroon is telling him about the phases He had went throughout his life..

But He never shown this side of him which he holds closed in his heart and obviously the professional life they shared before..

But now he is telling all of this to Him as a elder Brother who somewhere knows Asfand need this time..

Asfand jab insaan ko is sab cheezon ka ehsas nahi hota naa woh jeeta rehta hai.. Lekin jab usse ye pata Chal Jaye ke uske jeene ki Koi wajah hai hi nahi ya phir usse woh wajah cheenli Jaye phir woh us na-ummedi ke andhere me Aisa khojata hai ke uski zindagi usse qatam hote nazr aati hai.. Woh zinda bhi rahe par jee nahi sakta...

Now all of this thing making sense for Asfand the reason why Haroon was saying all of this...

And when it hit hard on him realising the situation unknowingly He had created for Zubia...

'Asfand is the center of her universe her whole life and without him in it there is nothing'... And he knows..he knows...

Asfand is looking at him shocked or he also don't know what to express or say..

What Haroon is indicating to is so damn true..

A:... Mai..Mai..Haroon bhai...mai Aisa Kabhi nahi chahta tha..Kabhi nahi..

H:Mai jaanta hoon... Lekin Asfand tum hamesha Khud ko itni aziyat nahi de sakte..

Kabhi kabar cheezon ko khuli kitab ke tarha rakhna zaroori hojata hai.. Warna woh band kitab ghutan deti hai...

A:... Mujhe zubia se milna hai.. Lekin woh Kahn hogi.. Kis hal me hogi..aur Jahan bhi ho woh safe ho...

Mai jab tak Mai usse dekh na loo Aur maafi nahi manglo mujhe chain nahi aayega...

Maafi tou tumhe maangni hogi lekin Sirf Zubia se nahi hum sab se..

Gaiti came there and Said..

They both stood up from the bench..

A:I'm sorry bhabi.. I know I was wrong and I'm wrong..

G:Ghalti tou tumne ki hai.. Aur is baar itni assani se maafi nahi milegi..

Kyun Haroon.. Sahi keh rahi hoon na main...

Mujhe lagta hai Zubia ko Aur kuch din nahi aana chahiye..tab jaake is surgeon ka dimagh sahi hoga...

She said..

A:ek minute.. What you mean.. Ap...Ap jaanti hai zubia Kahn hai..

He asked...

Gaiti just act to look here there as she didn't heard anything..

Bhabi please batayen.. Please..

He continues and looking at them one by one..

H:Gaiti ab bata bhi den..Bichara Waise hi itna pareshan hai...

A:Ap bhi Jante hain...

He said shocked..

Please bataye bhi kahna hai woh..

G:Wahi Jahan usse Hona chahiye..She said smiles..

A:sach.. Ap Sach Keh rahin hai..

They nodded in unison..

Asfand immediately runs to parking lot but not before hugging Haroon and Gaiti..

Yes it was all there plan.Everyone knows about it..

:

When Asfand left from her room,

Zubia was thinking of the reason behind his behavior now she is pretty much sure that He is hiding something but what..

Gaiti came to her room and Zubia tells to call Haroon as she wants to discuss something..

Haroon also joined them.. Zubia tells everything what happened and vice-versa..

Haroon suggested to talk to shehryar He is the one who can really help them..

With some of the help of Gaiti's friend and all She got shehryar number and they called him

Shehryar told everything about him and his last conversation with Asfand when He informed him about his plan of send all the family members to Canada and also the things related to Zubia..

Firstly Shehryar tried to tell him they can think of something else but Asfand was in his own guilt which is burdening him..

They all are really shocked and Zubia is not at all believing what she just heard.. The tears came up and she started to crying.. Gaiti consoled her...

They are very mad about him..

So Gaiti came up with this idea ans involve everyone in it..first Zubia denied to this but Gaiti insisted on it...

they have to teach him how it feels when someone they loves the most leave you just like this...

When Gaiti told him that Zubia is there in her right place.. He knew that place Very much..

The place she called proudly hers.. Her home.. Their Home.

Asfand rushed inside the house and to their room when she opened the door there she was standing near the window looking outside..

Covering herself from the shwal and in her own state of mind..

From the whole day now He felt relieved..

A sense of breathing without any pain or anxiety..

With slow steps He came nearer to her...

And finally stopped by standing just a footstep away..

He placed his hand on her shoulder believing that she is here..but to his surprise she jerked his hand.. He again do the same thing so she also..

He knows he deserves her anger and whatever she wants to do or say but He wants to see her.. She is not at all ready to move..

He simply back hugged her keeping in mind her wound is not fully recovered... He just locked his both the hands on her shoulders..nuzzled in the crook of her neck...

First she tried to removed them but obviously He is the strongest one.. Health wise and specially He is not going to give up so easily..

She stopped struggling on his hold and relaxed herself when He feels the tears on his hands..He immediately break the hug and turns her towards him..

Her eyes closed and the tears are just falling... He slowly touch her face wiping the tears rolled over her cheeks.

She opened her eyes looked at him and removed his hand...

Apko tou faraq nahi padhta.. Ke Mai Kaise hoon,Kahan hoon..Tou Apko mere ansoon se bhi faraq nahi padhna chahiye Asfand...

For the first time it his name sounds so foreign to him...he schools his head as no..Its not true..

But He is not able to frame the sentences.. Nothing is coming from his mouth..
