As Aditya and Zoya entered hand in hand, Pooja frowned seeing them. She didn't expect Aditya to behave so unaffected. She expected him to be shocked seeing her with someone else. But what she witnessed hit her ego. She couldn't stand the fact that Aditya has moved on forgetting her so soon. She felt annoyed and was in no mood talking to Aditya and his girlfriend. So she moved from there before Aditya could reach her.
Suddenly Daniyal pulled Aditya to a corner as he engulfed him in a bone crushing hug. As they hugged, Daniyal said something to his ears to which Aditya chuckled.
"Won't you introduce me to your lady ?" Daniyal asked and Zoya's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't sure whether Aditya was comfortable to give their relation a name. She didn't even know how he would react to the question. She just closed her eyes, sending prayers to save her from embarrassment.
"Meet my girlfriend Zoya." Aditya held her by shoulder. As his fingers touched her bare skin, Zoya flickered her eyes open as she felt shivers running down her spine. This much closeness of Aditya is new to her. His mere proximity makes her heart jump in her ribcage. And now his touch is sending jolts of chills down to her whole body. She wondered how could she be so diffused when it comes to Aditya. Zoya came out of her reverie as she felt Aditya tapping her shoulder gently, asking her to greet his friend. She felt slightly embarrassed for being so bothered with a simple touch of him. Shrugging away the clotted feelings, she forwarded her hand.
The party was unusually boring for Zoya as Aditya was busy with his friends. Her eyes fell on the dance floor where she saw the couples dancing together. She wanted to dance with Aditya, but he was nowhere to be found. Sighing in disappointment Zoya gulped down the drink she was holding and handing over the glass to the waiter she moved to a corner. As her eyes were fixed on the couples on the dance floor, she didn't notice the man coming to her. The man was extremely close to her and whispered in her ears "Can I have a dance with the gorgeous lady ?"
Zoya shivered feeling his breath on her ears. She was going to give him a tight slap when the man said "Are aap toh dar gaye ! I was just asking for a dance. Lagta hain aapko dance karna bohot pasand hain." The man tried to initiate a conversation with her.
But Zoya was in no mood to talk to him. She just stood there without replying as her eyes were trying to find Aditya. She was cursing him under her breathe for leaving her alone in the party. While she was busy searching for Aditya, the man sensed something wrong and asked her if she was looking for someone. Zoya didn't say anything and thus the man decided to introduce himself first. "Waise main Rajveer. Daniyal's business associate. Agar aap kisi ko dhoond rahi hain aapne saath dance karne ke liye toh I can be your partner." Rajveer said in a desperate tone as he forwarded his hands.
Zoya wanted to say a no. But going against her own will she nodded in a affirmative as she was already upset that Aditya didn't even care to look for her. She needed a break. So deciding to have a dance with Rajveer, she went to the dance floor and started dancing.
Aditya was back with Daniyal when he found Zoya dancing with a stranger. He was fuming in anger unknown to himself. The scene of someone holding his fiancee so close angered the hell out of him. Aditya went to them and kept his hand on Rajveer's shoulder. As Rajveer turned, Zoya's eyes fell on a fuming Aditya whose gaze is now piercing through Rajveer's whole being. For a moment Zoya froze in her place seeing the bloodshot eyes of Aditya. She was about to say something to clear the misconception of Aditya when he cut her off rising his hand, making her gulp down in fear. He looked into Rajveer's eyes as said "I think you're laying your hands on something that belongs to me." Aditya's eyes were oozing rage but tone was composed. Zoya's eyes widened listening to him. Did he just call her his ? She wasn't getting what was happening until Aditya pulled her towards him and wrapped his arm on her waist. Rajveer thought Zoya to be single and thus he tried his luck on her. But knowing she belongs to Aditya Hooda, he simply didn't want to put himself in trouble. So he thought it better to leave the place without making the situation more awkward.
As Rajveer left Aditya tightened his grip on Zoya's waist, making her look into his eyes. The intensity of those mahogany orbs was enough to make her heart thump against her rib. She looked at him trying to read his eyes only to be distracted by his words.
"Why did you dance with him ?" Aditya asked her as he took her hand in his and placed the other on his shoulder, pressing her more into his body. She felt butterflies in her stomach as found herself so close to his body. She kept staring him as her mind was in no state of answering him. He touched his forehead with hers and closed his eyes as if taking in her erratic breathes.
Pooja became jealous of Zoya as she watched Aditya lost in his own world with her.
She has everything now. She's the soon to be the wife of Yash Arora. She got what she wanted. Power. Money. Fame. But love ? Love is now a beautiful dream to her which she feels never can come true. She knows Yash is marrying her for mere publicity. Who wouldn't praise a man who marries an orphan despite of coming from one of the richest family of the city ? She feels hurt realizing she is nothing but a charity case to the man whom she is marrying.
She now wants Aditya back. But can she sacrifice everything for him ? The answer is no. Her selfish dreams are much more important to her. She won't go back to. She can't go back to him. But she'll not let him live in peace. She'll not let him have a life filled with love while she's craving for love. Making a plan in her filthy mind, she moved towards them..
"Seems like you forgot everyone else having her around." Said Pooja making Aditya shocked. He just started to think about a future with Zoya. But here, his past is standing before him as if threatening to destroy his present and future.
He always wanted to show Pooja that he was happy in his life with Zoya. But now seeing the evil smirk in her face he was sure that she wants to ruin everything. He didn't dare to utter a word as he stood there still while Zoya looked at the woman in shock.
"Mujhe toh laga thha humare ek saath bitaye huye woh din tum kabhi nehi bhuloge. Par yaha toh tum aapni zindegi maze se jee rahe ho. Sach mein iss ladki se pyaar karte ho ya phir sirf time pass hain sab kuch ?!" Pooja taunted Aditya. She felt a kind of satisfaction seeing the colors drowning from his face. But being lost in her own sadistic pleasure, Pooja failed to notice the anger seething in the face of the woman standing beside Aditya.
