THE WORD THAT BINDS US TOGETHER-A ZAYA SS(Chapter 15,updt-30.08.14,pg:

This SS is dedicated to all those people who have constantly supported me,loved me and motivated me to continue writing.To all my readers for their love and lovely comments which leaves me overwhemled.To Anwi,my bestie for being my 3 am friend and my inspiration .Love you all 😊❤️

So here goes..the story..of Zain Abdullah and his Mamu Ki Bhanji 😊

The evening was beautiful and calm .Great clouds like flamingoes floated in the apple green sky as the ebbing sun left behind the gentle evening rays to carress the land one last time.Distressfully bare yet full of promises,the evening held dreams in its arms.The ubiquity of the silence was comforting in a way,as it seperated them from the distant hooting traffic of Bhopal.

The coffess in their hands had long gone cold as they sat ,taking in hhe mild effervescence of life around them.None of them had spoken a word to each other.Actuall,both of them were trying to articulate the incoherrent thoughts which were plaguing their mind,in front of each other.

For a fleeting moment ,the hooting of the traffic succumbed to the silence as he tried to efface the invisibe wall which had grown between them ."I'm leaving tomorrow."Her ears perked up to attention when they heard his cold,unflappable voice.He stated it in a 'matter of fact' tone.It was probably something very trivial to him,but for her it was-a knot slowly formed in her throat,as an upsurge of emotions washed over her heart.

"Yeah-"she paused before continuing with a heavy sigh"I know." She wriggled her hands and looked anywhere but at him.

"mamu Ki Bhanji,you -you should be celebrating."he chuckled and nudged her slightly."You s-should be happy-you won't have to see my face everyday,you won't have to hear my ever-annoying voice call out your name-I won't to-tease you anymore--you-you'll be fine Aaliya.You are going to be happy without Zain Abdullah in your life.And-why would'nt you be,afterall i'm your mortal enemy,eh?"The wry smile on his face faded and added to the perpetual dull ache in his heart.He never knew that it would be so hard to say a simple goodbye to someone whom you are constantly at loggerheads with,but he had conviniently overlooked he fact that behind the facade of animosity,there lay something that they had yet not been deciphered.

Aaliya turned her head away from in him in a futile attempt to hide her treacherous tears.She had promised herself that she would'nt cry,that with him gone,things would fall back into place,that her heart would be washed clean of all the unaloyed feelings that she had for him and it would learn how to love once again,would help her build her relationship with Zeeshan.She wanted to ask him whether he was feeling the same thing too? She wanted to ask him the reason behind all of it,and the desire was too strong.She had agamut of questions in her mind,which she wanted to ask,but always managed to get them stuck in the throat.

"Do you have to leave tomorrow?"She mentally kicked herself for making such inane queries.

"why?do you want me to stay?'he gave her his crooked smile."I'm getting,m-married in a week--I--"Aaliya opened her mouth a few times and tried to resume her seech but failed to do so.

The affable indolent silence came back to them rolling like a wavelets on a shingle beach.

"Yeah to that douchebag!"he thought out loud."Did you just say something?"she turned her face sideways to look at him.

"No-No- Yeah-I mean ,I'm well aware of that."he added 'painstakingly' under his breath,lest she could hear it.There was that agonising silence one again.They have never had to grope for words to say to each other.then why the hell was it happening now?Why could'nt he just say it and get over with it-just rip off the band-aid?He mustered some courage,but could'nt look into her eyes as a an unnamed fear gripped his mind-"Do yo love him?""Huh?"she asked,completely baffled by his sudden question."Zeeshan-do you l-love h-him?"It was hard enough for him when he had to ask her twice,Zain Abdullah wondered how painful it would be when she would reply that she did-dhe did love'him'.

Aaliya stopped to think for a while and Zain with awaited breath anticipated her answer."No-I-I don't l-love him-I like him."she shrugged her shoulders slightly."But someday I'll probably be able to love him."Zain let out the breath that he had been holding on for so long.He racked his hair and looked at her anxiously-"Then why are you marrying him?'"Why are YOU asking me these questions?"his questions were met with incredulity in her voice.

He abruptlyleft her company without answering her question.he was about to step out of the terrace,when her voice stopped him-"I'm marrying him,because my parents feel that he's a good match for me.Because I-i've been asked to marry him.Its not about me Zain,its about them."He turned around,rooted at his spot on the ground-"Then don't do it-don't marry him.."his voice was feeble and exhausted.Her heart did'nt want to fathom the indescribable emotions which were splayed acroos his face.As if the heavenly synod had heard the pleadings of their tormented souls,the first rain of the rain kissed the ground and seemed to assuage the trepiditions of their hearts.

her silence was queezing life out of him,and with choking grief he once again turned towards her and slowly walked over to where she was standing."zain..'her whispergot subdueed amidst thepattering raindrops.God!He'd give anything to see her lips form his name for the rest of their life.

"Give me a reason Zain..?tell me why I should'nt marry Zeeshan."her voice was tried ..it was begging him.Hell even she was tired,tired of fighting against her emotions and feelings for him,tired of fighting with her destiny !

The rain had started pelting on hem harder-it was as if the clouds were setting them free,the uninhibited raindrops drenched them in their magic.

"TELL ME ZAIN ABDULLAH!" her voice rose.Aaliya shook him by his collar.He lifted his eyes to meet hers-her eyes were bleary and red,and the tears streaming down them were different from the raindrops which were trickling down her face.

He slowly unclasped her hands from his collar and placed his own o her shoulder."What is it that you want me to tell you,Aaliya-that I'm sorry,but the truth is that Zeeshan is not right for you and that's the only truth in the relationship that you unwillingly want to get yourself into!That one of these days you are gonna wake up and see that you were wrong and i was right .You're gonna realise that the thing that you have been looking for was here in front of your eyes,all the time"

"I nedd something more than that Zain..because i know that the peron I want to spend the rest of my life with,will never be mine!"His resolve was slowly crumbling down into bits,the burgeoning pain in his heart was slowly sucking hope out of him,he looked at her once again and knew that it was now or never-"will my love be enough?.."Aaliya fought back her tears"Z-Zain..."Why did he have to do it?They could've parted ways without letting out something that had the ability to change their live forever.She tried to get back her voice.A shiver ran down her spine as he placed his finger on her rosy lips."You don't have to say something----I----"she knew she would'nt be able to say either,for she was stunned to silence by his sudden revelation.She was sure that she would burn into ashes under his intense gaze.Aaliya Ghulam Haider felt a warm blanket envelope her and complete her broken heart as he gently brushed his lips against her forehead.And just like the kiss which had lasted for a fleeting moment ,Zain Abdullah too walked out of her life leaving her in a whirlpool of moments ,and without even sparing her a last glance or an explanation of what it all meant,whose answers would become her oasis.

His words reverberated in her ears,the feel of his lips on her skin was imprinted in her memory with an indelible ink.HEr body buckled down on the terrace floor,as her dry racking sobs matched its rhythm with the hollow pattering of the incessant raindrops.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aaliya Ghulam Haider was sure that her body would collapse,under exhaustion,aftr the stormy sleepless nights that she had gone through,after the taunts and jeers that she had to hear ,the number of times that people called her a jilted woman,and the humiliation that she have had to face0alone.She hated him for that,she wanted to continue hating him,but the desire to see him,to touch him,to hear his voice and telll him everytinhg was way stronger than that.She wanted to tell him about her newfound realisation that had emerged from the plethora of anguish and ambivalence that had surrounded her after his departure-7 days ago.

She dashed into his room and almost flew into his arms,clutcing his T0shirt into her small fists she lunged forwad to kiss his lips.She kissed him ravenously,it eas hurried yet burning with passion.It was as if she had been waiting for it for a long time and the agonising wait was now over,it was a sif her life depended on that one moment.Zain respnded back with equal fervour,after getting over the initial shock and accepting that she was not a fragment of his broken dream.His hands which had been limply holding her waist now tightented its grip on it.He bit her lower lip,making her moan ,he was about to slip his tongue into the deep unchartered caverns of her mouth,when she pulled back suddenly.

Tears were streaming down her eyes as she backed him up to the wall.Her hairwas a mess,there were bags under her eyes,her looks was an embodiment of careless desolationShe was standing close to him and for the first time since she had entered he looked at her properly.He was too shocked and elated by the turn of events.He was about to ask her-what are yo doin gover here?obvious but still!But even before he could part his lips she shoved him to the wall and started hitting him with her ineffectual fists.
"I HATE YOU ZAIN ABDULLAH!I hate it when you lie.I hate it when you read my mind.I hate it when you make me cry.I hate it when you're not around and the fact that you never demanded for an answer that night.I hate it when you make me feel things that scare the hell outta me.But mostly i hate the way I don't hate you-not even close ,not even a little bit,not even at ALL!"With every point that she made her fists collided with his hard chest,while he went on smirking in between tears!

Tears were overflowing from her eyes-this girl can herself fill up the amazon basin,if it ever dries up!Her poecelain skin was mottled and her eyes were bleary.And before she could hit him once again and cause some serious damage,Zain caught both of her hands and locking them behind her back,he pulled her close to his body and enveloped her petite frame with his strong arms.Her great heaving sobssubsided after a few hiccups.Her arms slowly went around his shoulderas she tightly clutched onto it for support.Aaliya titlted her head and brought her lips close to his ears-"I'm in love with you Zain KitKit Abdullah.I love you..I've called off my marriage..Zain I can't think of a life without you i it...Do you still love me Zain..?By this time her hands were cupping his face and before she could register what had happened,Zain swiftly turned her around and backed her up to the wall and pressed his body to hers,which was doing really noo good to her senses,except mixing up the signals!He ran the tip of his acquiline along her lawline and ever so lightly bit her earlobe.Her tongue was paralysed,the breath hitched in her throat as with every word that he said he placed feathery kisses on the cove of her neck-"I LOVE YOU,AAL-YA",teasing his way up to her lips before finally capturing them in a searing kiss.

Their love was truly what they needed..it was the word that bound them together...not just as man and wife.or as two lovers.or even mamu Ki Bhanji and mamu ka beta/Zain and aaliya,but as two souls who lived for one another and who made people reafiirm their faith on love and humanity !
