Zoya entered her room and went straight to the washroom. She turned on the tap and started throwing water on her face. She turned off the tap and looked at her crying self into the mirror.

She slowly removed her dupatta and looked at the bites given by Sahir on all over her neck. She touched them with her bare fingers and hissed in pain. Her eyes went on her lips which were swollen due to kiss. She touched them and closed her eyes. All the memories of Sahir of that day started coming back in her mind.

She opened her eyes and threw more water on her face in anger. She was constantly trying to forget what happened but the more she tried, the more it was becoming difficult.

She removed her clothes and looked at her naked body in the mirror. There were bruises and red marks on all over her body. Her breasts was swollen due to sucking and her nipples were covered with biting marks. Her womanhood was hurting too.

Zoya could hardly stand straight. She was feeling weak both physically and emotionally. She cried badly keeping her palm on her mouth to let not anyone hear her. She felt guilty for her acts, guilt for sleeping with Sahir, guilty for betraying her Abbu & lying to him and most of all, guilty for betraying her own self.

She cheated her Abbu when he trusted her blindly. She looked at her face in the mirror and found a cheater staring back at her. She was feeling ashamed of herself.

"Kya hua Zoya?", she found questioning herself in the mirror with folded hands.

She touched her bruises and tear rolled down her eyes. "Abbu ne kitna bharosa kia tha hum pr. Aur humne ek jhatke me usse tod dia. Itne selfish kase ho skte hain hum?", Zoya questioned to herself who was standing on the other side of the mirror.

"Yeh nishaan tumhe mohabbat me mile h Zoya. Aur mohabbat me to koi bhi selfish ho skta h na. Tum bhi!", Zoya on the other side replied with a smile.

"Yeh nishaan mohabbat ke nhi h, yeh ghaav h. Woh ghaav h jinn pr koi marham nhi lag skta. Woh ghaav jo humesha hamari galti yaad dilaenge", she told to herself.

"Achcha, to yeh ghaav h? To fir mujhe yeh batao yeh ghaav lete waqt to tumhe koi dard nhi hua. Ab kyu ro rhi ho?", Zoya of the other world asked to the Zoya of real world.

"Woh sirf ek galti thi", Zoya replied in a firm tone.

"Galti?", Zoya in the mirror laughed loudly.

"Aapko hansi aa rhi h!", Zoya shouted in anger at the laughing Zoya.

"Achcha baba sorry! Woh kabhi kabhi na mujhe tumhare bevkoofi pr bahut hansi aati hai", she told controlling her laughter. She further asked, "Achcha yeh batao ki iss 'galti' ko kase theek krogi? Abbu ko sach bata kr?".

Zoya get into thinking for a moment. She splashed more water on her face as if she'll get her answer through it.

She looked up again and said, "Aaj ke baad hum Sahir ke khayal se bhi door rahenge. Hum wahi karenge jo Abbu kahenge. Ussi ladke se nikaah karenge jisse Abbu ne pasand kia h".

"Hmmmm great idea!", Zoya on other side sarcastically said showing her thumbs up.

Before Zoya could reply, someone knocked on her washroom's door. "Zoya bete, aap ander h?", Ammi asked.

"Jii Ammi! Bas aa rhe h", Zoya replied.

"Beta khana lag gya h. Aap jaldi neeche aa jaiye", Ammi told her and left.

Zoya looked back into the mirror & saw only her naked reflection in it. She was gone!

Zoya turned on the shower and stood below it, wishing to wash every memory of him with the running water. She came outside with the towel wrapped around her and changed into her night wears.

Zoya remembered something and picked her phone.

"Mona", Zoya spoke on the call.

"Zoya mam", Mona spoke from the other end.

"Mona ek kaam tha aapse", Zoya said.

"Sure mam. But aap kahan hai? Aapke Abbu ka call aaya tha", Mona told her.

"Mona hum ghar aa gye hain. Aap hamara cabin clean karwa dijiyega", Zoya told her.

Mona understood what Zoya meant and where she was. "Ho jayega mam. And don't worry aapki permission ke bina aapke cabin me koi bhi nhi jaega", Mona assured Zoya.

"Thanks Mona", saying this she cut the call.

Mona knows everything about SaYa's relationship and is one of the very few people whom Zoya trusted her life with.

Zoya made her way downstairs. She was hardly able to walk. She noticed Waseem and Roshnaq discussing something serious at the table. She pulled her chair out and sat on it.

"Zoya beta aap abhi bhi thaki hui lag rhi h. Kaam jyada tha to kisi ko bula lete", Roshnaq asked seeing Zoya's still tired face.

"Nhi Ammi aisa kuch nhi h, hum theek h", Zoya lied with a smile.

"Zoya bete, aapke liye ek surprise h", Waseem told her.

"Kya Abbu?", Zoya asked showing fake excitement.

"Kal aapke sasuraal wale aa rhe h", Waseem told her with excitement evident in his own voice.

"Kal aa rhe h? Pr Abbu wo to do din baad aane wale the na?", Zoya asked as the surprise came more as a shock to her.

"Hume aaj hi Hooda sahab ka mail aaya. Wo aapke saath thoda waqt beetana chahte h. Issliye apne poore parivaar ke saath do din jldi aa rhe h", Waseem told her.

Zoya got up from the table and saying "Ammi, hamara khaana kamre me bhijwa dijiyega", she ran to her room.

"Lagta h sharma gyi. Hum bhi sone ja rhe hai Roshnaq. Kal apne samdhiyon ko Airport bhi to lene jana h", saying this Waseem too retired for his room.

~~~~~~~~~

Waseem & Roshnaq were at the Airport the following morning. They were waiting since an hour as the flight had got delayed.

"Siddique Sahab", someone called from behind.

Waseem turned only to find Harshvardhan Hooda standing and smiling at them. Anjana and Arjun were also there with him.

A smile automatically comes to Waseem's face. He went forward and hugged his best friend tightly. Meanwhile Anjana and Roshnaq hugged each other.

"Bhai Waseem, tum to budhe lgne lag gye ho yaar. Pr bhabhi aaj bhi utni hi jawaan h", Harsh teased his friend.

"Aree bhai, ek jawaan beti ke Abbu h. Umra to dikhegi hi", Waseem replied in a light tone.

"Kase h aap bhaisaab?", Roshnaq asked Harsh politely.

"Main achcha hu bhabhi. Aur ab aap sb ko dekh ke aur bhi achcha ho gya hu", Harsh replied with a smile.

Waseem eyes then fell on Arjun who was listening and smiling.

"Yeh mera chota beta Arjun", Harsh introduced him.

He came forward and touched Waseem's and Roshnaq's feet. "Kase h aap Uncle?", he asked.

"Aap to bilkul apne Abbu ki tarah dikhne lage h", Waseem said caressing his face.

"Hooda sahab, hamare damaad kahin nazar nhi aa rhe h. Wo agli flight se aane wale h kya?", Waseem asked, his eyes searching for Aditya.

"Adi hamare saath hi aaya h. Wo dekhiye, wo raha", Anjana told them gesturing towards Aditya who was standing at a distance and talking with his co-pilot. His dimples were visible even from far as his lips curved into a killer smile while he talked.

Aditya finished his talk and hand shaked his co-pilot gesturing him goodbye. He turned and headed towards them. Aditya gave a warm smile as reached them. He touched Roshnaq's feet and was touching Waseem's feet when Waseem pulled him in a hug.

"Aap to gale miliye humse barkhuddaar. Mashaallah kitne bade ho gye h aap", Waseem smiled pulling back from the hug.

Aditya gave another warm smile in return. His eyes searched for Zoya but he got disappointed as she was nowhere. Arjun noticed him and giggled.

"Waseem tum Adi se to mil liye. Pr hamari bahu kahin nazar nhi aa rhi h? Zoya kahan h?", Harsh asked.

"Zoya aap sab ghar pr besabri se intezaar kar rhi h. Unki thodi tabiyat kharab thi issliye woh aa nhi saki", Waseem replied.

Talking & laughing, both Hoodas and Siddiquis exited the Airport.

~~~~~~~~~~

Zoya was in her washroom throwing up in the basin. She was vomiting continuously since last night. She was feeling weak and her stomach was paining very badly.

She opened the tap, cleaned herself and came out of the washroom holding her stomach. Her whole body was paining and she started feeling dizzy. She somehow walked to her bed and laid down.

Something clicked Zoya and she checked the calendar. Her monthly cycle was late. Then it strikes her memory that they didn't use protection the last time they got intimate. Fear spread over her thinking of the consequences.

She took out the pregnancy kit from her bag and ran to the washroom. She tested herself and waited for the results.

**********
