| You hold key to my heart |
Even though nobody knows it’s going to be 3 years for their relationship. The day Sudha parents get to know that she is in a relationship is the day she has to leave the island. Especially a person like Ziyadh from a middle class will never be accepted. They both know it very well. No one knows that Sudha parents are just hiding the truth that they know about the relationship. Ziyadh and Sudha don’t know the plan they are planning behind the scene.
Sudha parents were ready to depart, when she came from her last day at school. She did not get a chance to say good bye to him. She had to leave with few of her belongings. The people who were spying on her every act thought that they were going on a trip. Sudha’s parents won deceiving other eyes.
Ziyadh got suspicious, when he failed to reach her through phone after several attempts. People said that they went on a trip but he knew that her parents got away with her when he could not reach her. The continuous attempt for four days just got one clue that she went to Airport with her parents. He got to know from a friend’s friend. She doesn’t know anything and got no time to inform him about anything. He trusts his love. The love Sudha has for him is known by Ziyadh much more than Sudha herself. So he knows that even if she gets a minor chance she will call him. As there is nothing he could do, he started spending the days waiting for the call.
It’s being a year and 4 months, he has not heard from her but Nafeesa got news. Nafeesa is a neighbor of Sudha.
“Sudha parents are trying to arrange her marriage to a Maldivian living in India” Nafeesa said. “I met them when they were going to go to print the cards. Sudha was also there. She was doing Ok”
It was like Ziaydh’s heart broken into pieces. He was thinking whether it would be true or not. “ Does she has a phone?” he asked. “ Do you know the number” “She was on a call” Nafeesa thought a little and said. “I didn’t ask for the number” Ziyadh go the same news from someone else who came to the island. “Sudha dad only said that everything about the marriage has been confirmed” Ismail said.
It is like each of the broken pieces of his heart broke into pieces. Ismail is a very close friend of Sudha’s dad. He was praising about the arrangements of the wedding and even showed the wedding card. That is when Ziyadh believed it to be true. “I couldn’t go to the party. Had to leave to Mumbai” Ismail said.
It was Badhoora who brought Ziyadh back to normal when he was trying to change his life to a wrong path because of the frustrations. Otherwise Ziyadh’s life would have affected from a black cloud’s shadow.
“Life is something that is given for a much more important reason than to sacrifice it for some deceivers” Badhoora tried to comfort Ziaydh. “Sudha would not give a damn just because you sacrifice your life for her” she added. Ziyadh accepted all of it and he started a new life with the help of Badhoora. It was difficult to forget Suddha’s memories. It wasn’t impossible though. The heart which was repaired with cautious and love, was gifted to Badhoora.
With a lot of hard work, Ziyadh loved his spirit all over again. He wanted to live. Even though it takes so many days to stand on your own, you might fall at any moment. That is what Ziyadh experienced from his life.
One day morning, Sudha was in the island. That was when she stopped by to the island with her family. Her husband was not there. Badhoora was near Ziyadh. Badhoora is a friend of Sudha. Badhoora took the initiative to shake the hand to avoid any oddness. Sudha shook her hand and offered the same to Ziyadh, but he refused it. He did not want to touch that hand. Ziyadh knew that for some odd reasons her marriage would have been broken. He did not want to be a pious man to do the same again. With embarrassment Sudha had to leave.
“You just didn’t do the right thing” Badhoora said when Sudha left. “To tell you Badhoo” holding Badhoora’s hand ziyad said.”She could have said at least that she is going to get married because her parents are forcing her to, I would have waited her for whole my life. I would hold her hand on any day she comes. But now this is the only hand I would hold”
Badhoora eyes were wet with tears but she did not cry. Ziyadh doesn’t know whether it is because the way Ziyadh treated Sudha or is it because of the way she love her.
On the same night when Ziyadh was alone, Sudha met him. He didn’t even want to look at her face. “I am very happy that you have got a happy life” with wet eyes Sudha said. “But I though you will wait until I come”
With a boring voice Ziyadh said” See the indecency you have”. “The problem is not getting married. Not informing me that you got married” “I got married” surprisingly she said. “When did I get married?”
“In India” carelessly Ziyadh said. “Don’t try to fake it. I saw the card even”
“Yes. Dad even printed the card” Sudha said.”He thought then I would agree to it. Told all his friends and did what he could do thinking I would get married not get them embarrassed, but how will I love someone other than Ziyadh? I have no place in my heart to someone other than you not even now.”
Ziyadh had no words to say. “I tried to call you several time “Sudha said in a weak voice.”My phone was taken by my father. He doesn’t allow me to come out of the house. He gives the phone only if a relative calls. There is no day left without remembering you. I had the confidence that you will wait until I come. I gave the key of my heart to only one person. That is you. It was a mistake.”
The next day morning Sudha has left the island. Ziyadh doesn’t know where she went. But there was a note and a key and an ear ring attached into ziyadh’s window. That is true; Sudha gave the key of her heart to Ziyadh. The only mistake he made was not standing with the trust he had on his love. He cannot think of a prize to that mistake.
