Chapter 22 – Accident

I was heading back home after looking at Zoya. All the way I kept having flashbacks of her sitting in the bus with tears in her eyes. I was missing her. I already had started missing her, I could only imagine how much I’d miss her in the next few days. I kept having flashbacks all the while when passing through the road I always used to stand to see Zoya cross. I was remembering everything, even the first day I saw her. I reached home and saw that my Maa was standing just outside the house.

“Done with the patrolling officer? Did you go around the whole city? Is there anything wrong anywhere?” Maa said, pulling my leg.

“Oh Maa, you should be proud. Your boy woke up so early in the morning today. He did such a good deed. You should get an ‘Aarti ki thali’ and put ‘kumkum’ on my forehead. You should be making an amazing breakfast for me, but here you are making fun of me. And hahaha, there isn’t anything wrong around the city. I took care of everything.” I said and hugged my Maa.

“Oh why not my lord, I’ll do everything. But first, answer my question. Where were you? Whom did you meet?” Maa said with that investigative look of hers.

“What? No, No one? Whom will I meet so early in the morning?”

Maa came back to the room and said,

“I’ve cooked dhokla for you, come quick.”

The moment I heard that she cooked dhokla for me, my mouth started watering. I got up and was about to leave the room when my phone beeped again. It was Zoya. She was sitting on the bus and sending me selfies. I was happy that she’s alright. I told her I’ll be back after breakfast.

I went to my parents' room to eat the dhokla.

“Umm!! This is so delicious Maa! I love it.” I said, looking at my Maa and then the plate of dhoklas.

Maa smiles a little and said, “Take some more”

And I didn’t stay back, I picked up 4-5 dhoklas at once from the plate.

“Oh ho, slowly officer. The dhoklas won’t run away. I cooked them for you.”

I have never had food more delicious than Maa cooks. She is in true sense

‘Annapurna’ Now that I was all done with my breakfast, I went back to the room and started asking Zoya about her whereabouts. This kept on until I was sure that she’s safe.

Zoya was thinking about how her life will change in Lucknow. She was going to start a new life, she’d have to make new friends. She was nervous and happy about it. She kept thinking the same thing for the whole journey. And sometimes, she also thought about
