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

Dr.Asfandyar had a tough night coming to terms with the truth. He finally understood why his beloved Dr.Zubia didn't agree to marry him despite him being sure that she loved him as much as he did her. But in the morning after that tumultuous night, it felt as if the sun shined especially for him. He had made a decision and was determined to stick through it no matter what and the first step to that was postponing the marriage indefinitely or in other terms cancel' it. He didn't want his family members hanging on false hopes of seeing a marriage this soon in their family...

Next thing he wanted to do was confront Dr Zubia regarding the ID card, after all it was hers and he had to return it one day or the other, right? So well determined today was the day finally he took it along with him to the hospital. After getting himself composed to face one of the toughest conversations in his life, he carefully placed the id card on his table so that as soon as she enters she could see that and understand what the conversation was going to be about... And then he called her on the phone and asked her to come to his room but was informed that she was busy in Emergency ward. So he thought he too will go in and check what was happening there.

In the emergency there was a case of a little boy, just 5 or 6 yrs old who had slipped from a bridge while playing and fallen into the ice cold water and had almost drowned but was thankfully saved by the onlookers and brought to the hospital on time. All the staff including Dr. Zubia were busy in that case and then when Dr.Asfi reached the ward he took charge of the case. Later Asfi asked her to come to his room but on his way to his room, he got a call and he instead of going to his room, he just took a stroll outside to clear his head of the tension of the impending conversation with her. But just as he was going back inside somebody dashed him in a mad run... he when he looked back who it was he found that it was Dr.Zubia! For a moment he couldn't comprehend anything that was happening, he just stood there thinking what was happening. But the moment he took a step towards his room to check if someone or something had happened there, he felt something cracking under his feet and saw that it was her old id card! Just then he understood his folly! She must have gone to his room to meet him and must have seen the ID card on the table! Oh God!

He then ran outside towards her but saw that she was nowhere to be seen. He then asked the security guard about the direction she went and decided to take his car and follow her. The way she had ran past him, it didn't give him good feelings...something seemed bad...ominous...He drove madly looking for her everywhere but she was nowhere to be seen... But then something bad came to his mind, the little boy, the bridge, the drowning! He turned his car swiftly towards the bridge hoping against hope that she would be sensible enough to not attempt such stupidity... He prayed to God like he had never prayed before...

He then stopped his car and got down to see whether she was anywhere nearby and to his horror his worst nightmare was happening right before his eyes! There she was getting ready to jump into those icy cold waters! He yelled a blood curdling yell! He yelled with all the hope he had but nothing seemed to fall on her ears and he her jumping to her icy death right before his wretched eyes!

Asfi didn't know how he reached the spot on the bridge where she had stood minutes before or when he jumped behind her but all he now knew was he was carrying an unresponsive Zubia towards the shore...

He then started tapping her face vigorously and started yelling at her! His brain had frozen with all the shock and his sensible medical brain had given way to the primal human instinct which knew nothing other than the impending loss of a loved one... He repeatedly hugged her and kissed her hair asking her, no begging her to come back to respond to him but she was just still... tears flowed incessantly as he shook he vigorously and dared her to come back and fight with him for hugging and kissing her! He hugged her tightly and yelled upwards asking God to have some mercy on him and not to take away the most precious thing in his life... That life would be meaningless without her... He yelled and then he hugged her tightly... And then suddenly due to the force of the hug, she started coughing up water and was slowly coming back to her senses!

Dr. Asfi had saved many lives and have accepted a ton of thanks from grateful relatives who have thanked him and God for saving the lives of their loved ones and he had accepted those thanks humbly enough but didn't always understand the extent of gratefulness towards him. But this is the first time he realised how grateful those people must have been to know that they have been granted another chance with the people they love the most... Seriously there was no other feeling than supreme gratefulness to the God for granting the one prayer he ever asked... He had got his Zubia back and nothing else mattered...

But a soft whisper brought him back to the earthly realms from the divine gratefulness... he heard her whisper a soft, "Mujhe kyun bachaya aapne?"

And then all of a sudden Asfi felt and unexplainable anger! And he uncharacteristically held her tightly and demanded, "Tum kya samjhthi ho apne aap ko,hmm? Aur mere baare mein kya sochthi ho? Tum yeh ice cold paani me khudthi aur mein dekhtha rehtha?"

She gave him a tired look and said, "Magar aap tho aab sab kuch jhanthe hain nah? Woh ID card? Aapko ab sab kuch yaad aagya ho nah..."

Still in heights of anger he couldn't understand what she was trying to tell him and asked, "Haan sab kuch yaad aa gaya hai. Tho uska kya?"

"Tho isiliye aap janathe honge ki meri jaisi ladki jho badnaam ho chuki hai uska mar jaana hi theek hai..."

His anger actually flared more if that was even possible! He held even more tightly and shook her!

"Zubia tum pagal ho kya? Kya bakwass baatein kar rahi ho? Kya badnaam wadnaam ki rat laga rakhi ho? Tumne aise kuch nahi kiya hai! Tum tho ek bacchi thi uss time, sirf 11th class mein thi! Kissi bande ne tumhara saath galat karne ki koshish ki tho usne galat kiya hai nah, tumne nahi! Samhji tum?"

"Magar mein bhi tho usse pyar karthi thi ya mujhe laga tha ki woh pyar tha uss time... aur main gayi thi nah usse shaadi karne ke liye kisi ko bataye bina... mein gayi thi nah... tho mein bhi buri hui nah...buri..."

Both his grip and tone softened hearing her heart wrenching sobs and he gently cupped her face and said, "Haan tumne uss bande pe aeitbaar karke galat kiya, kyonki galat bande pe aeitbaar karna akalmandi nahi bewakoofi hoti hai... Magar tum tho uss time choti thi aur vulnerable thi... Jho uss bande ne kiya woh buri cheez hai, jho tumne kiya woh sirf ek bewakoofi hai... Tum buri nahi ho Zubiya...nah khabi thi aur na khabi ho sakhthi ho... Tum hamesha bedaag aur pak thi aur rahogi..."

"Magar..."

"abb aur koi agar magar nahi... Yeh baat aaj aur abhi se khatam... main woh ID card sirf tumhe wapas dene ke liye aur yeh kehne ke liye le ke aaya tha, ki main jhantha hoon ki tum kyun mujhse bhag rahi ho aur main samjhtha hoon tumhe mujpe aitebaar karne pe time lagega... Magar main tumhare liye zindagi bar intezaar karunga, jab bhi tumhe mujh par aeitbaar ho jayega ki main tumhara kaabil hoon,tab mujhe ek awaaz de dena, mein yahi hun tumhare paas... Maine tho mere gharwalon ko bhi keh diya that ki humare shadi ke baare mein sochna chod de, kyunki mein nahi chahtha ki woh tumpe koi pressure daalein... Yeh tumhari zindagi hai aur tumhare faislaa hai... Main isme kuch nahi bolunga... sirf tumhaare ek ishare ka intezaar karunga..."

He could feel he tears falling on his hand with which he had cupped her face... He could see the glimpse of a grateful smile forming on her face... And all he could think was how grateful he would be if she actually agreed to be his forever ... There would be no greater bliss in his life than that... And as if she understood his wishes, she took his hand which cupped her face and brought it towards her lips and kissed them both gently in turns...

He had asked for one small signal and here she was pouring her love for him into his very hands directly, he just couldn't control his happiness and hugged her tightly and started to kiss her all over her face! And just when he was about to reach her lips, she put a finger between them and smiled shyly...

He laughed with tears flowing from his eyes... Finally he understood the meaning of tears of happiness... That moment with her, he realised was truly the Jannat on earth... he didn't want anything else in this life, he had her in his arms and life seemed fulfilled...

Few minutes later his medical brain finally kicked in and it then assessed her status in the background of his brain and decided she was quite fine but was still tired so a day's bed rest and some fluids just to be doubly sure, would be good for her.

Then when he tried to carry her, she protested saying, "nahi main khud aa jaungi..."

Annoyed at her reluctance, he said, "Chup bilkul chup! Aaj tum aur kuch nahi bologi! Main tumhe yahan se utta ke ja raha hun aur yeh final hai! Aur tumhe aaj raat hospital mein bed rest lena hai, yeh bhi final hai! Haan aur main bhi aaj raat night duty karunga kyonki meri sabse special patient wahan admit hone wali hai, yeh bhi final hai! Ok!"

He then swiftly carried her into his arms and walked carefully like he was holding the most fragile, most precious gift God has given him, which for him she truly was... He then gingerly placed her in their' car, because everything he had till now was hers now, including his heart... And then finally the key turned on the ignition he turned and smiled at her and gently held her hand and she in turn gave an reassuring smile to him and held his hand with hers on top and tightened it ensuring that she understood and wholeheartedly agreed to this new journey which they were embarking together and that this very moment was its first step...

There was no turning back now, no more doubts, no more hesitations... It was that eternal promise that from that very moment she would be with him in every step of this new journey and he with her... Those entwined hands of theirs were now entwined for life and ever after... Love would be the only language they would ever speak to each other and like now, that language didn't need words to convey the message... just few heartfelt smiles was all it required to make lifelong promises...

Love is after all the ultimate leap of faith... or like they say... ek yakeen ka safar...
