She Is Perfect

                                    

                                          
Aditya's face had a mixture of emotions on his face. There was pity, sorrow and anger. Zoya saw all those emotions on his face and didn't even stop the tears flowing from her eyes. Her tears and blood both were flowing thick and fast now. The mutterings got louder now. Zoya heard 'Unbelievable, Eww, Shucks,disgusting , fraud, dirty , illegitimate' from the people sitting in the hall.The ones sitting beside Zoya got up and gave her the dirtiest of looks.She didn't even look at them. Her eyes were just stuck on Aditya. Nobody noticed the blood on the floor because of the darkness in the hall.
                          
Suddenly a loud voice roared in the hall saying 'ENOUGH'. Zoya saw Aditya at the podium with the mic in his hand. He looked angry and serious.His voice was loud and hard unlike his soft and kind voice. 
He said 
                          
'Enough. No one will say anything anymore now. Nobody will move till I finish what I have to say. So , Zoya Siddiquie  is just Zoya .It came as a shock to me just as it came to you all. But did she really want a fake family name ? I don't think so. She had to get a surname because the society doesn't see you with respect unless you have one. So it was her mother's fault then? Well, guess what, it wasn't. What she did for her living was not something that people choose to do out of choice. They do it out of helplessness. They do it because sometimes they don't have any other choice. But we don't see it that way do we? We see only what we want to see. It's so easy for us to judge people without knowing their circumstances. Today when you got to know Zoya's truth not one of you thought of what all she has achieved on her own steam. None of you thought how difficult it was for her to fight these situations and make a position in the society that will make people look up at her. She fought every thing all on her own. She become the best business woman and set an example for others to follow. We never appreciate a persons hard work and their achievements but we are the first ones to look at ones flaws. Zoya is like a lamp who spreads happiness in every life and lightens people's lives but unfortunately the lamp burns itself in the process and the same has happened with Zoya today because of her past. We should care about what she does in her present and not what she had to face in the past. Ask yourselves once that despite having a supposedly repspactable family  could you have achieved even half the things that Zoya has.I am proud to be Zoya's friend. She is perfect for me. In fact she is the epitome of prefection for me.Her strength, her will power , her determination to become the undeterred number one is commendable. She has scars and each of them tell a story of a great warrior.And if anyone disagrees with me , please do come up
and make your point. I am sure I would love to hear your wonderful ideas.'
                          
Every one was silent. Nobody spoke a word against him. Some nodded in agreement with Aditya's views, some were embarrassed,some still thought Zoya was a fraud buy didn't dare to open their mouths and others were still absorbing what all had happened then.
                          
Zoya heard the whole speech and at the end of it she just whispered 'Aditya'weakly and passed out. Her breathing became shallow her body became limp. But her heart which was thumping weakly was rejoicing at Aditya"s words. She wanted to smile and hug him but her body didn't allow her to. 
                          
Then Aditya  said 'Miss.Zoya, now please come up and receive your well deserved award.'
                          
Zoya didn't get up. Aditya announced her name again but got no response. Arjun came from behind and shook Zoya and saw she was motionless. He screamed at Aditya  and said 'Sir, Zoya  ma'am is not conscious.'
                          
Aditya jumped from the podium and came to Zoya. The lights came on and everyone saw Zoya and the pool of blood beneath her. Aditya  looked at her with bloodshot eyes and without any further debates picked her up and went out. On his way he just constantly murmured to Zoya 'You can't give up so soon. I won't let you. You can't leave me now.'
                          
Will Aditya  be able to save Zoya or will he lose her forever?
