Aaj bohot dino baad ruh ko sukoon mila,

Jaise bichda hua koi yaar mila...

The door unlocked and with the clicking of the lock Zoya entered in her 'own' house. She never had a place to call her own. Earlier it was her Abbu's house and then it was Yash's house. She finally owns a place which she can call hers.  No one can say to her now that she doesn't has any place to go to other than that. No one can throw her out of 'their' house. 

She sat on her favorite place in her house 'THE WINDOW SEAT'. She looks out of the window to see at the busy city. After so many days she felt peace. As always she went out to the Eiffel Tower to change her mood. Previously, it didn't had any effect on her. She did not felt any peace before. But today she felt peace, she felt...'sukoon'.

She laid on her bed to sleep as it was already very late. But, it seems like sleep is miles away from her reach. She closes her eyes and try to get some sleep.

"Ye kamzarf kya hota hai"

She let out a small chuckle remembering their first meet.

"Ungenerous yaani ki aap yaani ki tang dil." She said and started remembering how she literally chased HIM in the whole mussoorie just for a gramophone.

"Abhi na jao chodkar ke dil abhi bhara nahi..."

She started humming the song which brought them together. 

"Hum chahe ya na chahe, mane ya na mane lekin hum dono ki kismat judi hui hai...shayad isiliye taqdeer humein baar baar ek doosre se samne lakar khada kar deti hai."

They were indeed brought together by their destiny, but her fate did not want her to be happy. She sniffed.

"Tum mera haath thaam kar jeena chahati ho ya marna."

She sat up on her bed and comb her hair with her hand. She had every sort of emotion in her heart at this moment. There was confusion, regret, pain, loneliness and...LOVE.

"Kitni ajeeb baat hai na Aditya, aapka haath thaame bagair na hum jee pa rahe aur na mar. Aur aap ka haath thaamna humare muqaddar mein nahi."

She said to herself and instantly a sob escaped her mouth. 

"Tumne to theka leke rakha hai apni zindagi barbaad karne ka pehle vo Yash ab ye Arshad!"

Tears of grief welled up in her eyes. She could not hold them anymore. The first one trickled down her face then the second and then...

•••

"Hello, Kunal tu abhi Paris mein hai na."

"Ha, main to yahi hu tujhe meri yaad kaise aayi itne dino baad."

"Arre yaar, sun tu meri madad kar sakta hai...?"

"Arre bolke to dekh..."

"Yaar 'meri' Zoya ko dhoond de..." 

He sounded pleading, broken,...helpless.

"Meri?"

He narrated him the whole incident and their 'incomplete story'.

"Yaar tu chinta mat kar main tumhari adhuri kahani ko poora karne mein poori madad karunga..."

"Thank-you"

"Hain!!! Kya kya kya...yaar dhang se sunayi nahi diya"

"Drama band kar thank you..."

"Ye Aditya Hooda bol raha hai?"

"Nhi...uska bhoot chal ab phone rakh! Bye..."

"Bye..."

With that he disconnected the call. He was indeed sad that no one knew about Zoya's whereabouts. But, deep down he was also happy that she and Arshad are not together. That she didn't love Arshad.

"Zoya ki aankhon mein jo pyaar hai vo aapke liye nahi balki humare liye hai."

With that thought, he started roffling holding his stomach.

"Zaroor" 

He again started laughing and this was happening after so many time when he laughed his heart out. When he again became the old...Aditya Hooda. When he got Wasim's call, to say that he was shocked would be an understatement. And when he got to know that Zoya is not with 'lambu', a ray of hope shined on his horizon. He thought that maybe she...No matter he felt alive...again. He felt peace. He felt...'sukoon'.  He sat on the chair kept near the window and started gazing out.

"Aur aap ek number ke besharam, behaya aur kamzarf insaan hai"

"Kamzarf..." He let out a small chuckle and remembered the incident when she ran behind him in the whole mussoorie just for a gramophone.

"Abhi Abhi toh aayi ho bahaar bankar chaai ho..."

He started humming the song that acted as a cupid in their case.

"Main apne andar aag lekar chal raha hu, aisi aag jo sab kuch jalakar raakh kar degi...sab kuch!"

"Zoya kya khoob ho na tum na to us aag mein jali aur nahi mujhe jalne diya balki us aag ko bujha bhi diya..."

He said praising her greatness and her innocence. There was always a pull between them from the very start but the pulling force got decreased as one was not able to bear the pull.

"Zindagi mein pehli baar humne ek dost banaya tha lekin aapne humse vo bhi cheen liya..."

"Shukriya...humein ye batane ke liye ki shayad humein insaano ki parakh hi nahi hai."

He cannot forget how much he hurted her. How much she cried. He cannot forget her puffy eyes, her helplessness and her...denial.

"Hum aap par apne aap se zyada yakeen hai..."

"Zoya agar itna hi yakeen tha toh mere pyaar ko dhokhe ka naam kyun diya..."

A lone tear escaped his now red eyes. His face had lost all the traits of laughter which he was having before. Maybe that he was not a good friend. Maybe that Zoya always chose wrong persons first Yash, then Arshad and then...HIM.
