"Congratulations Mr. Khan! You won the match again", a guy with foreign accent congratulated him at whom he nodded his head and he applauded him again, "Seriously. You always win the golf match and soccer too,hitting to the goal"

At which he smiled, "No Jack! This is not my ultimate goal,just a hobby", and grinned.

"Then what is your, ultimate goal", Jack emphasize the words ultimate goal.

He smiled, "to become the best architect ever met, the one who never loses deal too", he said with so much enthusiasm.

"But you still are", Jack retorted back.

"I am a good one, but not the best!", he looked into his eyes.

Jack scrunched, "Then who is he?"

"Not he, she.", he smiled thinking about her and continued,"Zoya Farooqui!"

On other side of the universe, "Zoya Farooqui, the best architect of the world, Happy b'day my jaan", he hit his forehead with hers, with love.

"Haider, it is not like that. Subah se sau baar keh chuke ho but I don't believe this", Zoya shrugged her head and smiled a little.

He pecked her cheek, "Asad bhi yahi kehta tha", which shrunk the smile from her face and he shrunk smile distracted Haider as well, with which he lost the balance of his hold on the car.

Zoya too noticed it and realized that the truck is coming from the other side of the one lane road. She helped him in turning the car by revolving the steering wheel and in less than nano-seconds, the car hit the truck and everything became zero in the dark night.

Haider was out of the car breaking the glass of the window and she was unconscious out of the door, which was open.

Asad being unaware on the other side of the universe smiled and whispered, "Happy b'day Zoya"

She was talented; he was in search of talent,

She was down to earth, he was on sky,

She was cheerful, he was living in her,

She was married, he was not,

She was married, he was in love,

He was alive; she was in dealing with death.


But one fact was they were best friends, living apart from each other, for each other's happiness.
