"Ya allah, ye yahan kya kar rahe hain..."

Her eyes widened seeing the person in front of her. How can he be here. Soon, she started shivering. It felt as if the blood has stopped passing in her body. Her throat felt dried up. There was an uneasy feeling in her abdomen. Her heartbeat increased rapidly. With every passing second, her breathing became more rapid, more shallow. Her vision started to blur.

She has been getting these panic attacks since a long time now. She used to pass out with every panick attack. She did not want to pass out in the middle of street not with HIM finding her. She then...

Earlier that day:

Zoya:

Ahh...finally my favourite time of the day has come...night. It soothes my soul sometimes while sometimes it makes me cry so hard that my eyes pain even the next day. Still I like night. Just like the moon, I'm also alone in this dark place. Darkness has surrounded me and this darkness now provides comfort to me.

Yesterday, I got peace and then I started crying like always. Why am I like this. Why do I cry when I can't do anything about it. I was so stupid to not notice Aditya's hints that he loves me. He tried so many times to confess. Everytime he used to knock my heart's door but I was obstinate not to open it because when I opened them for the first time, that person ruined me. He not only broke my heart but also made it impossible for it to be mend.

I will not give this right to anyone now...not again to break my heart and leave it shattered because if now it will break I will not be able to live...I will die.

Love makes one helpless, weak, powerless and I hate being these. I fear being broken.

"Marne ke dar se insaan jeena nahi chod deta, dhoke ke dar se insaan pyaar karna to nahi chod deta na..."

"Kaise samjhaye Aditya aapko ki pyaar karne se humein khauf aata hai...ki humein toot jaane se khauf aata hai...kaise"

She wiped the lone tear that had escaped her eye.

I think it's the time to go to my favourite place. Yesterday, I got peace maybe today also it will help to calm my disturbed mind, my disturbed...heart.

Aditya:

Kunal is helping me find out 'my' Zoya. I don't know why my eyes still shed tears whenever I think about her. She has given me innumerable memories to cherish and also regret. Regret that I hurt her for 'my' love, that I tried to kidnap her, that I...stalked her. I thought that she also loved me but is fearing to accept it. I was so stupid to think like that...

I told him that I felt as if she was there near the Eiffel Tower yesterday and he advised to search her in that area at that time of day.

I looked at my wrist watch and noticed that it's the time. I headed out of my room to search her only if it was in my fate.

I cannot break a promise made to a father that too...hers.

•••

Zoya headed out in the street with only streetlights watching her.

After some time, she reached the place. But, what she saw next shook her. There stood...HE but how? Does he know about her?

What she wants to do is just run towards him and hug him so tight that he would not be able to breathe. She wants to cry in his embrace. She wants to get relieved of this pain.

But, at the same time she is feared to face him and her family...her father. How will she face them? Will they again throw her out of their house? Will she again be alone? Will she ever get love that warm? There was no doubt that she was in a dilemma. She wanted to hug him but at the same time feared the consequences.

She did what she always used to do...run away from problems. She ran from that place as soon as she could before she passes out. She knew that she was having a panick attack like always. She ran away from him. Although, she didn't had the energy to run she ran...she could not face him now. Not now never in the future.

She entered her apartment. She closed the door behind her and slid against it. Pondering on what has happened with her. Tears started streaming down her face and new tears took their place every time the previous ones had emptied theirs. She looked blankly at nothing in particular. She was shivering. Her hands and feet were ice cold.

There were so many questions in her mind. Why was she not able to forget him? Why she wanted to hug him? Why she saw him as god's zariya to relieve her of the pain? Why she wanted to cry in his arms?

Why does she get him in her dreams sometime smiling, looking at her with intense eyes, holding her close to him? Why?

She closed her eyes.

"Lo ab main tumhare kareeb hu, tumhe attention de raha hu, tumhari aankhon mein intensity bhari aankhon se dekh raha hu...iska matlab tumhara bhi dil pighal raha hai...ishq ho raha hai tumhe mujhse...haina"

She immediately opened them not being able to take it anymore. She tried hard to forget everyone. But why not him?

"Kahin humein Aditya se py..."

No no no...

She shook her head frantically. No, this can't happen. No, she can't love anyone. How can she? How, when she built up walls around her heart? How?

She stood up from that place and as soon as she tried to walk, her feet wobbled and she fell on her knees.

"Abhi bhi waqt hai sambhal jao kahin bohot der na ho jaaye..."

"Der to ho hi gayi na Aditya...ab kaise sambhalen hum khud ko...kaise samjhaye apne dil ko....kaise?"

She started sobbing again. This time it was more intense...more painful...it was more heart wrenching. The pain of never getting the one for whom your heart beats cannot be described.

She decided to do what she always used to. She went to take her diary and a pen and sat on her window seat. She started writing 'shayari'.

She started writing...

Milaya humein taqdeer ne tha...
