"To batao na, tum mujhe batati raho, mein tumhe sunta rahonga" Farjaad said romantically, Umeed smiled and looked at him.

"Mujhe suna asaan nahi hai, mujhe sunne wale thak jate hain" Umeed said desperately with soft smile.

"Mein nahi thakonga, mujhe tumhari baton mein khona acha lagta hai" Farjaad said confidently.

Umeed got astonished, looked at him with big eyes. Farjaad smiled and folded his arms, she got confused.

"Ye ap ulta seedha behave kyu karne lage hain?" Umeed questioned.

"Bas, kya karein" Farjaad replied smilingly.

"Kya karein, ye kese jawab tha?" Umeed asked innocently.

"Jawab dhunda tumhara kaam hai" Farjaad replied.

"Acha, ham dinner ke liye chalte hain, sab wait karahe honge" Umeed said softly and tried to changed the topic.

"Areee, tum to mujhe kuch bata rahi thi?" Farjaad complained, tried to teased her.

"Wo mein fursat se bataongi, abhi chalein" Umeed said excitingly.

He giggled and they leaves the balcony.

********

After dinner, Farjaad went outside the house and Pasha Sahab, Hilal Pasha and Sameer greeted him.

"Farjaad beta, isi tarah hamse milne ate raha karo, bht ronaq lag jati hai" Pasha Sahab requested softly.

"Jee uncle, mein ata rahonga" Farjaad replied respectfully with soft smile.

"Beta, apna khayal rakhna, Umeed to mere pass rukegi agar koi masla ho to phone kardena" Pasha Sahab said meekly.

"Umeed ka jab tak dil chahta hai wo yahan reh sakti hai, iska apna ghar hai" Farjaad responded and smiled brightly.

Umeed came in the balcony, looked at Farjaad who was engaged in talking with her family members. Farjaad looked at her, their eyes locked and they smiled. Umeed slowly waved her hand, Farjaad replied and waved his hand smilingly.

Then Farjaad leaves from the Pasha house.

*********

"Farjaad's Pov"

Farjaad was desperately sitting on the bed in his t-shirt and trousers.

"Umeed nahi hai to kitna ajeeb lagraha hai, mujhe Umeed ki adat hogayi hai" Farjaad thought in his mind and smiled.

He took out his phone from the side table and called Umeed.

"Umeed Pov"

Umeed was sleeping peacefully, her phone started ringing. She took her phone, the screen showing the name of Farjaad. She stood up shockingly and received the call.

"Hello Farjaad, kya hua apne is time par call kyu ki?" Umeed asked in concern.

"Umeed, just relax, mujhe tum se baat karni thi isliye call ki thi" Farjaad replied softly.

"Acha, mein to dar hi gayi thi" Umeed said and feel relieved.

"Tum sogayi thi?" He asked.

"Hmm" Umeed mumbled.

"I am sorry yaar, tum sojao ham kal baat karenge" Farjaad said and apologized.

"Nahi, ab mujhe ap se batein karni hain, ap kahen kya kehrahe the?" Umeed said and asked.

Umeed stood up and enters in the balcony, she sat on her jhoola.

"Tumhe bht miss karaha hun" Farjaad said innocently.

"Acha, abhi se?" Umeed asked and smiled.

"Abhi se kya matlab?" He asked.

"Matlab ye ke mein to ek hafta rukongi" Umeed lied, tried to test his patience.

"Umeed, this is not fair, yaar tum aisa kese karsakti ho" Farjaad whined like a baby.

"Acha baba theek hai, mein ajaongi" She replied smilingly.

"Paka?" He asked, tried to confirmed.

"Jee" She said and giggled.

"Ok, mein kal pick karlonga" Farjaad said.

"Agar apko mere bagair sari zindagi guzarni pari, phir?" Umeed asked normally.

"Umeed, aj ke baad ye baat apne moo se nahi nikalna" Farjaad said strictly.

"Acha, ap to serious hogaye, sorry" Umeed stated and giggled.

"Mujhe aise mazak pasand nahi hain" Farjaad warned her.

"Acha, nahi karahi bas" Umeed responded politely.

"Umeed, mera dil bht ghab raha hai" Farjaad said anxiously.

"Kyu, sab theek hai na?" Umeed asked.

"Hmm, bas tumhe aise nahi kehna chaiye tha" Farjaad complained.

"Farjaad, kya hogaya hai, ek na ek din to har kisi ko jana hi hai" Umeed explained.

"Hmm, lekin mein tumhe kho nahi sakta" Farjaad demanded.

"Acha kyu?" Umeed asked innocently.

"Kyuke mere bhi dil ka dimag kharab hogaya hai" Farjaad confessed.

"To apne dil ko sambhal kar rakhen, mein apko chor kar kahin nahi jaongi" Umeed said confidently.

"Aur mein tumhe jane bhi nahi dunga" Farjaad promised, they lightly chuckled.

They were talking with each other while smiling and giggling.

*********

The situation was tensed and critical. Pasha Sahab, Sameer and Haya reached inside the hospital and quickly went to the reception.

"Doctor, wo yahan Umeed Pasha naam ka patient admit hua hai?" Sameer asked panickly.

"Jee, wo 2nd floor par hain" Receptionalist replied.

They ran upstairs and reached on the second floor. Farjaad was present there, sitting on the bench. He was not in his senses, his mind was absent. They went to him.

"Farjaad, kya hua Umeed ko, ab wo kesi hai?" Pasha Sahab asked panickly.

"Han Farjaad bhai, bataye wo kesi hai ab?" Sameer added, asked impatiencely

"Wo doctor's check up karahe hain, mere office ke samne Umeed ka accident hua hai, car wale ne ise hit kardia, wo bht critical halat mein yahan ayi thi" Farjaad said in dull voice while controlling his tears.

"Meri bachi" Pasha Sahab said and got more tensed.

Doctors came outside the room, "patient ke sar par chot ayi hai, hamne dressing kardi hai, dua karen ke inhe hosh ajain, inki halat bht critical hai" Doctors told them.

Haya wiped her tears while Sameer consoling Farjaad. Saim and Mimi reached there while running.

"Bhai, Umeed kesi hai?" Mimi asked.

"Mimi wo" Farjaad voice was broking.

Haya went to her, "Mimi, Umeed ki condition bht critical hai" She said while crying. Mimi got shocked, hugged Haya. Pasha Sahab was just sitting and pray for her daughter.

"Ap sab dua karein, Umeed bilkul theek hojaigi" Saim said and reassured them, tried to consoled them. Mimi was consoling Haya.

Farjaad was totally silent, he was trying to behave normal. He was controlling his tears, his emotions and his feelings. He went towards the ICU and looked at Umeed from outside.

"Ya Allah, meri Umeed ko theek karde" Farjaad prayed in his mind, closed his eyes and wiped his tears.

Niggo Jee and Shujaat Sahab reached in the hospital anxiously.

"Kya hua, Umeed theek to hai?" Niggo Jee asked.

"Maa, ap sirf dua karein ke Umeed ko hosh ajaye" Mimi replied in dull voice.

"Ye sab hua kese?" Shujaat Sahab asked worriedly.

"Baba, wo bhai ke office ke samne Umeed ka accident hogaya, ab pata nahi Umeed ko hosh kab aiga" Mimi explained and cried.

"Dua karo beta, Umeed bilkul theek hojaigi" Shujaat Sahab said and patted her head.

Nurse came there while saying, "yahan par itne sare logo ka rukna allow nahi hai, abhi patient ko hosh nahi aya, ap sab mein se kuch log hi ruk sakte hain"
She told and leaves.

"Pasha Sahab, ap ghar chale jain, kafi time se yahin hain, thora aram karlen" Shujaat Sahab insisted him.

"Nahi, mein apni Umeed ko chor kar kahin nahi jaraha" Pasha Sahab refused.

"Uncle, ap ghar chale jaye, ham sab hain na Umeed ke pass" Saim added.

"Nahi beta, mein rukjata hun, tum sab log ghar chale jao" Pasha Sahab requested.

"Mom, bhai ko kahen ke ghar chale jaye, kafi time se yahi par hain, aram karlenge" Mimi requested.

"Beta, tum aur Farjaad bhi ghar chale jao, baad mein aram se ajana" Shujaat Sahab advised to them.

"Mein Umeed ko chor kar nahi jaonga baba" Farjaad refused irritatingly.

"Bhai, ap please Umeed ke liye maan jaye, ap kafi time se tensed hain" Mimi requested softly. Farjaad didn't answered.

"Han beta, tum ghar jao aur dua karo, Umeed theek hojaigi" Pasha Sahab added, kept his hand on his shoulder and reassured him.

"Baba, mein apne sath Haya ko bhi lekar jarahi hun, wo bechari bhi bht pareshan hai" Mimi told.

"Ye bhi koi pochne wali baat hai, tum jao aur Haya ka khayal rakhna" Shujaat Sahab suggested.

Farjaad, Mimi and Haya greeted everyone, went from the hospital.

**********

Farjaad enters in the room with dull face, red eyes and messy hairs. He slowly sat on the bed, remembering his moments with Umeed. The moment, when she fixed his shirt button. Her smiling moment. He started crying, hide his face on the pillow. He can't control his tears anymore, he started coughing and shivering.

"Ya Allah, mein tujh se Umeed ki zindagi maangta hun, please ise kuch nahi hona chaiye, mein iske bagair nahi reh sakta, please ise jaldi se theek karde" Farjaad prayed heartly, the tears was still falling from his eyes.
