“Agla chapter ek ajeeb si khamoshi se shuru hoga…
Ruhaan ka ek pal ka tootna sab kuch badal dega.
Ek purana raaz, ek nayi galatfehmi…
Aur beech mein ek aisa lamha, jiska hasil koi imagine bhi nahi kar sakta.”
________________________________
Ruhaan nodded and went to his room.
Ruhaan thinking Aaj ithe saalo baad fir
kisi ke dard se takleef hui hai. Kisi ko
khone ka darr dil m aaya. Yhi sochte sochte wo so jata hai.
On terrace
Zoya: Ise Kya hua.
Sehrish: Kuch nhi, tum pareshaan na ho wo thik hai.
Zoya: Pr (interrupt Sehrish).
Sehrish: Believe me.
Zoya: Ok, Spend your quality, time m sone ja rhi hu.
Zoya came in her room and she is in deep thinking. She doesn't know when she fell asleep.
Sehrish: Sarim, kl baat kare mujhe Ruhaan se kuch baat krni hai. (Tensed).
Saum: Sb thik hai na.
Sehrish nodded.
Sehrish dekhti hai Ruhaan so rha hai to wo bhi sone chli jati hai sochti hai kl baat kr lungi.
At 3:00 in night when Sehrish wake up for Tahajjud she perform namaz and then salah dua then she recite quran and she thought to check on Ruhaan. Woh dheere se Ruhaan ke room ka darwaza kholti hai.
Andar ka manzar uska dil hila deta hai.
Ruhaan bed par baitha hua,
pasine se bheega hua,
saans bahut tez, haath kap rahe,
aur woh baar baar bol raha tha —
"Izaa… Izaa… mujhe maaf kar do… please… please… main nahi bacha paya… main galat tha… meri wajah se… Izaa…"
Woh panic attack tha.
Saalon se daba hua guilt phir se toot kar bahar aa raha tha.
Sehrish turant uske paas baithti hai,
uske dono haath apne haathon mein le leti hai.
Sehrish (firm but gentle):
Bhai… suno meri baat… Ruhaan bhai…
Aankhein meri taraf dekhiye.
Ruhaan ki saans toot rahi thi.
Ruhaan (rote hue, lafzon mein dard):
Main ne usse girte hue dekha tha…
Main ek second late tha, Sehrish… ek second…
Vo meri twin thi… meri zindagi… aur main… main nahi bacha paya…
Sehrish ke aansu uske gale par gir gaye.
Sehrish (voice breaking):
Bhai… please apne aap ko saza mat dijiye…
Woh aap ki glti nahi thi. Woh ek hadsa tha.
Allah jo likhta hai usse koi nahi badal sakta… koi nahi.
Ruhaan sir hila deta hai, jaise dard usse chaba raha ho.
Ruhaan: Maine Zoya ka mug slip hote dekha toh… bas ek pal mein sab flashback aa gaya…
Woh din… woh cheek… woh awaaz… sab samne aa gaya…
Sehrish… mujhe aaj bhi us din ki cheekhe sunai deti hai…
Sehrish dheere se usko gale laga leti hai.
Ruhaan us hug mein pighal jaata hai, saalon ka bojh halkasa hote hue.
Sehrish: Jitna pyaar aapne Izaa ko kiya… utna pyaar shayad koi nahi kar sakta.
Aur na woh chahti ke aap khud ko itni saza dein.
Woh chahti ke aap… muskuraein… aur hum sab ke saath rahen.
Ruhaan dheere se saans chhodta hai.
Dil halka hota hai… zakhm abhi bhi hain, lekin bhrna shuru ho gaye.
Ruhaan - Scherish m zoya ko kisi bhi trh harm ni krna chahta.
Sehrish: I know bhai.
Ruhaan: Ab m usse confess kbhi ni karunga. M use hurt ni kr skta. Use to koi
bhi mil jayga mujhse bhter.
Sehrish: Acha thik hai Subha baat karenge Ab so jao.
Ruhaan nodded and laid on Sehrish lap.
Ruhaan: Tum to nhi jaogi na.
Sehrish: (wipe her tears) Nhi jaungi.
Then Ruhaan so jata hai or Sehrish uska sir takiya por rkhti hai or apne room m chli jati hai. Namaz padhti hai or dua m rote rote so jati hai.
Next day at morning sb nashta karke apne
apne kaam pr chle jate. Mahir sb ladies ko
leke shopping pr chla jata hai. Zoya Ruhaan ke sath office chli jati hai.
Zoya's POV:
Kal raat ka woh pal ab tak dimaag se jaa hi nahi raha…
Ruhaan ka wo sudden slip, unka chehra, unki aankhon ka darr…
kuch toh tha us moment mein jo main samajh nahi paayi.
Woh hamesha sabko protect karte rehte hain, par khud itne bechain kyu the?
Ajeeb si khamoshi thi unme… jaise koi purana zakhm phir se dard de gaya ho.
Mujhe nahi pata unke dil mein kya chalta hai…
par aaj pata nahi kyun… unki fikr zyada ho rahi hai.
At Sehaan's law firmo
Ruhaan car park karta hai building ke samne Zoya utr ke ander chli jati hai or Ruhaan watchman ko keys pass karta hai. Park kr dena watchman nodded. Ruhaan enter in office. All employes greet him. On the other hand when Zoya enter in building. She take elevator to Ruhaan's office. When she reach there Wajdan came in front of her.

Ruhaan open his mouth to say something bt no words came and he shut his mouth off. A tear fall on Ruhaan's hand from Zoya's eye. Ruhaan panicked and cup her cheeks in his hands." Shhh Shhh". Ruhaan said.
Ruhaan - Zoya kuch nhi hua glti se i mean gusse m tha bs isiliye.
Zoya - (Sob) Gusse m ho to khud ko hurt karoge. Mere baare m bhi nhi socha.
(Ruhaan uski baat sunker soch m padh jata. 'M Zoya ko hurt ni kr skta use mujhse door krna hoga (lekin ye sochte hue bhi lg rha hai koi dil nikal rha ho jaise) m alg kese kru).
Ruhaan: Zoya mera hath chodo or apna kaam kro, aap yaha kaam krne aayi hai mera shedule bnaye. (In rude voice).

She muttered many things and does't know that someone is hear her! Wo uthti hai file lekr or dekhti hai samne age of 50s k old man hai. wo unhe greet karti hai or excuse krke file dene chli jati hai. Ruhaan called Zoya with coffee and snacks.

Kya yeh woh lamha hai jahan saari khamoshiyon ka jawab mil jayega?
Bas itna jaan lo… iss baar shock bhi Zoya ka hoga, aur confession bhi.”
