Zoya fell on the recliner exhausted. She had been searching since 2 hours but failed to find the file.
She had called Aditya to ask about the file containing information of previous clients because she had full trust on the fact that he must have hidden it intentionally! But alas! Scaling mount Everest would have been much easier than talking to him! That man specialised in riling people up! And she was sure about the person from whom Aditya inherited his douchebag attitude..
Senior Hooda..
The moment Zoya opened her eyes, Hazel's brimming with innocent confusion blinked. Surprised at the proximity, zoya jumped forward head butting the man in front.
"Oommphh" Aditya groaned clutching his forehead and stared daggers at the woman massaging her forehead.
" what were you doing?" Zoya asked glaring at him.
" was checking! " he exclaimed, smiling.
"What?" Zoya asked narrowing her eyes.
" Zinda ho ya finally bhagwan ko mujhpar Taras aa gya! But my bad luck!" Adi acted wiping imaginary tears off his eyes.
"Aap hum.." Zoya's retort was cut short when Aditya spoke up.
" Today is haldi, and you were relaxing, taking a cat nap! Wow! All arrangements are done!?" He asked amused.
"Thankfully, due to someone's absence all the arrangements were made without a glitch!" Zoya smiled pretentiously and continued, " And hum so nhi rahe the! I was searching for the clientele file! Where is it?" She asked crossing her hands in front.
"Beats me!" Aditya shrugged nonchalantly confirming her suspicions.
"Humein yakeen tha that only you can indulge in such childish pranks!" Zoya sighed annoyed.
" Aww! Itna yakeen! I promise that you won't be disappointed! " he exclaimed as a mischievous smirk made its way to his lips.
"Mr Hooda, I won't be a mute spectator anymore, I wont stand in the sidelines anymore!" Zoya pointed her index finger at me.
Aditya lost his smile and stepping towards Zoya, held her hand. She tried to withdraw it but he was too strong. And roughly Aditya pulled her close, slamming her soft body against his hard one.
Leaning his lips closer to her ear, he whispered, " You know the truth, right? So why are you still hell bent on saving this rotten place. Why are you struggling so much? Go back to your father like a good girl you are!"
Zoya finally managed to pull her hand away and shoved him.
" This company is a chance to make myself into someone much more capable. I won't run away!" Zoya announced her head held high.
"And I won't just stand by either! I will be the roadblock in your path! I'll be the bump that'll topple over your Car of confidence!"
Aditya challenged, his lips set into straight line.
" Are you challenging me, Mr .Hooda!?" Zoya asked amusement lining her voice.
" Nhi Zoya, I Am The Challenge! " he replied tilting his head.
" Fine then, Hum iss Challenge ko accept karte hain, I'll win this Challenge!" Zoya retorted in defiance laced voice.
"Beware Zoya, kahin challenge jeetne ke chakkar mein khud ko na haar jao" Aditya whispered huskily near her lips, his Hazel's turning dark.
Zoya's eyes widened and she gulped on her saliva.
'Her pulse was picking up!why?'
"Zo and Adi, can't you postpone your romance!!" Bella huffed, pouting.
Aditya jumped away and flashed her a boyish grin.
" Don't blame me! Zoya is quite demanding... " he drawled in a meaningful voice.
Zoya's eyes widened.
"Nhi, Bella there is nothing lik..."
"Ohhh! # WildZoya!" Bella squealed like a fan girl.
Aditya stifled his laughter, seeing Zoya slap her forehead in annoyance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'You must be thinking ki main ab bhi apne ranjo-ghum ka inteqaam tumse le raha hu but...'
Aditya looked on as Zoya descended the stairs, looking like a sunflower.
Zoya felt someone's eyes on her and raised her eyes, only to see the bearer of hazels tearing his gaze away.
In his hurry to avoid zoya's inquisitive gaze, Aditya collided into Bella's friends.
"Sorry.." He apologized and turned around to see zoya coming his way.
But the girls refused to budge.
" You are so cute!! Who are you?" They asked coming closer.
"Ahh...I am.. th...the...organiser", he stammered, troubled by those flirtatious gazes.
" Kiske organiser!!?" The girls asked in unison and continued to step forward.
"Um...you know...you..I mean I.." He stammered flustered stepping back.
"Hmmm?" The girls prodded enjoying his reactions.
Aditya took another step back, but his heels stepped on someone else's feet and he lost his balance.
He awaited the fall, but his eyes met hers and found himself hanging in her embrace.
Zoya had somehow managed to balance the bulky hooda in her arms. But was he heavy! He sure was!!
Aditya slowly straightened himself, holding her gaze. And started crouching down. Zoya shrieked as his hands touched her feet.
"What are you doing?" She asked pulling her legs away.
He looked upwards towards her and replied, " I stepped on your feet, those sneakers must have hurted... Let me see".
"Ji nhi, thanks but no thanks" zoya replied and turned to leave, but Aditya caught hold of her chunri.
Zoya's eyes widened at his audacity and she turned to give him a piece of mind.
"Ouch!" Zoya winced suddenly and looked down to see Mr. Persistent Hooda pressing his thumb against her feet.
Turning his neck around he asked one of the girls to bring a chair. She obliged silently because the sudden change in Mr. Hot shots behaviour baffled her.
As the chair was kept behind Zoya, Aditya looked up and pointed her to sit.
"Nhi hum thee.. ."
However Zoya's protest died in her throat when Aditya glared at her with the kind of Do-it-or-else look.
She sat like an obedient child as his fingers traced her feet.
She winced yet again.
"Don't worry, it'll be just fine", he spoke in an almost whisper like voice surprising Zoya.
He looked up after applying the ointment and the softer lighter shade of Hazel shined through, shocking Zoya.
He Was Concerned!!
And before Zoya could register anything, her stool toppled over and she fell on Aditya.
He fell back, as his one hand came around her head and the other around her waist.
As zoya withdrew her face away, his forefinger ever so slightly tucked her auburn strands behind her ear and held her gaze.
All the other girls felt a mixture of emotions. Jealousy on realising that This Man was Taken. Smitten on realising that This Man was completely mesmerized by the woman in his arms.
" Humein laga hi tha ki daal mein kuch kaala hai" Zoya whispered seethingy as a smirk escaped it's way to Adi's lips.
"Did you see!?" He asked faking disappointment.
