Love life: Adiya FF Part 8 - Page 2

Aditya would have never expected this day to come. And he hope it wasnt true. Sitting on the opposite side of the couch, he looks above his brother head in a daze. He didnt hear his brother call him until a hand was place on his shoulder.

" Bhai?" " it will be ok, Aladdin will be fine"

Aditya shook his head " that's not the problem."

" than what is?"

Aditya quiet recall his childhood. Back than he was just eight, coming from a function at his school. His parents were in the car with him praising him for winning an award. He beamed happily while looking out the window.

Suddenly he spotted someone familiar. It was non other than his dadi-ma standing while watching their car. What shocked him was the fact that she was standing instead of being on a wheel chair. The car stopped on a red light, and Aditya tells his parents about his grandmother standing outside.

Harsh laughs " it must be your imagination, mother is home probably playing a chess game with the maid again."

Aditya still watching his grandmother, saw her wave. By the time they got home the ambulance was already inside their house. Harsh raced inside worried. Aditya walk towards the stairs where everyone were only to drop the trophy he had. Their on the floor with her legs dislocated was his grandmother.

Still in memory lane Aditya was shook by Arjun. He says " will you tell me what's bothering you"

Aditya was going to when he noticed zoya was near him anticipating his answer. He cleared his throat before telling her to leave them for a minute. Zoya shook her head. " if I leave who to say you wont disappear on me"

Aditya frown " I never said you could follow me around"

Zoya cross her arms " I know, but I already told you, theirs a reason why you can see me"

Aditya was annoyed by her stubbornness. What kind of ghost get attached to someone. He scoff. Zoya says " I'm not attached to you, I just need your help"

Aditya gave her a quiz look " now you can read my mind too"

Zoya apologized " I just found out myself."

Aditya wonder if she heard him earlier when he started thinking about kis-...he quickly stop thinking and glance at zoya afraid she was listening to his thoughts again.

While all this was happening, poor Arjun was looking around to see who his brother was talking too. He says " bhai...could it be you can see ghost again"

Aditya nods, while arjun became shock. " I thought ma fix that already"

" I know, ever since I met her" he says pointing to zoya " I've been seeing her and other ghost"

Arjun says " I dont know how you deal with that knowing your scared of gh-" before he could say it Aditya cuts him off. " I'm not anymore" he says

Arjun asks why the ghost is following him, he explains what happend.

" hmm...could it be that she has some unfinish business to take care of"

Zoya listening says " he could be right, but in my religion until the body is buried I can not leave this earth" realizing this she says " that's probably why I'm still here, but...why wasnt I buried? Who has my body? ...no..where is my body" she says panicking.

Aditya watching her could see how shaking she was, he shouldnt care that's true, but he felt something for the girl. Maybe it was because he could relate to her somehow, or because of something else, but he didnt realize his hand had made its way to her own to calm her down.

Apparently it did the trick because she stared right at him. Arjun seeing how his brother hand was in the air wonder if the woman was right there. Any other person could have find the situation weird or just plain funny, but not him.his seen it from experience how his brother would panick.

He remember when their mother had to call a priest and he did a ceremony to prevent him from seeing ghost. It worked for a long time, until now.

Arjun had to clear his throat so his brother could look at him, Aditya embarrassed put his hands down. He explains to his brother about what zoya said, listening he says " that would mean we will have to help her find her body so she can go to heaven" he smiles " will you be helping her bhai?"

Aditya quickly says no, causing zoya to turn to him. She asks why he cant help her and that she needs him. " I cant do it on my own."

" i dont care, it's not my business, and I have nothing to do with whatever is going on with you"

Arjun tells him his being harsh. Aditya says " good...I don't want nothing to do with ghost especially her, And i want you to stay away from me" he says angry while turning to zoya.

Zoya seeing his angry face became timid. She looked about ready to cry. Aditya seeing it calms down. He got up to leave but arjun voice stops him.

" remember what dadi-ma once said , helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for that person."

Aditya didnt have to be reminded of that because he remembered it well. That day he had an arguement with his friend, because of that he refused to speak to him. So after school when his dad and grandma came to pick him up, he saw his friend getting bullied.

He was in turmoil to go and help or stay Because he was still angry that his friend made fun of his grandmother being disabled. His grandmother seeing him watching outside understood the situation. She called him over when her son started the car.

" Adi?" She gestured " wasnt that Manu...you wont go an help him?"

Little Adi looks down at his bold hand. His grandmother grab his chin to look at him. " it must be hard fighting your friend...huh" when she saw him nod she smiles " beta...what ever it is shouldnt get in the way of helping someone or your friend. Not many will understand the situation that goes on in your life, it's ok." She says " helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for that person and the way they think, always remember that"

Hearing her say this Adi tells his dad to stop the car. He smiles at dadi-ma before running out to save his friend who was calling out for him.

Now back to the present. Aditya walks away with zoya hot on her heels. " wait!" She says but he didnt listen.

He quickly made some turns to avoid her making her confused. He hide while and watch her looking around for him. When he saw her gone, he sigh with relief. Turning, he walk to his son room. Alaadin was wide awake. He smile seeing the nurse talking to his son.

She was telling him to eat to get healthy. Aladdin refused saying he wont until he sees his dad. This was adi cue. He calls his son and tells him to eat. Aladin smile and hugs his dad. After their little hug, Aladin looks behind him expecting to see someone else. Aditya asks " what are you looking for?"

Aladdin with his big brown eyes says " the pretty lady that came to visit me"

" what lady?" Adi asks

Aladdin looks him in the eyes " the one I saw in our house"

Surprise, Adi became angry. He was upset because zoya had the nerve to go and see his son without his permission. [ she could be dangerous for all I know] he thought

" baba? Where is pretty lady? She said she will come right back, she promised" he said in a teary voice.

Adi ressures him that she will come. He cursed under his breath before looking at his son. " I will be back, so eat and get some sleep"

once he left, he complain about how zoya is making his son get attached to her. He says he wont allow it. He search for zoya everywhere until he saw her in the freezer. " what is she doing their, it's only for dead bodies"

he was going to scold her for being in there when he saw so many ghost surrounding her. She was bend down while covering her ears. Mumbling something while shaking. His eyes widen while the ghosts touch her. One went as far as to yank her, causing her to fall on the floor. Aditya turns and walk away, thinking if shes gone his life will go back to normal.

" look what we have, a lost soul" one says

" I heard if we eat a lost soul we can become more human."

Hearing this all the ghost in there hungrily stares at zoya. She knew theirs no way for her to get out because theirs something blocking her. Its preventing spirits/jins to leave that room. She calls for help when they grab her hand, when they push her to the ground.

One person was on her mind, she knew he could help her. She was safer when his around. Shaking she yells Aditya name over and over.

Zoya cries, she says in her head. This is why I hate hospitals. I came only because Aditya was by my side. But i lost him.

Now by the door, Aditya tries opening the handle. Apparently it was locked. He twist and turn it but nothing happen. He asks someone near if they can open it and lied that his son got lost and trapped himself inside.

The nurse shock quickly opens. She told Aditya to hurry up before she gets in trouble. Aditya thanks her and walk in. Their he saw zoya kneeling, this time in a corner. her hair was hiding her face while she grab on the wall. The other ghost looked tired, like they were in a battle for many years.

" you just wont give up" one says

" yeah you cant keep running forever." They said.

Aditya could see what looks like a scratch mark on zoya cheeks. Blood was coming out. He wonder how that was possible when shes not human. Sighing, he walks to her. While walking, he saw some spirits/jins looking at him. They back away seeing him. Aditya recall what Alaadin said about ghost being afraid of him.

While heading to zoya, he heard someone's phone ringing. And the nurse saying it's time for her to pray. Looking at zoya he says " how long are you going to be in that corner? Come...let's go"

Zoya scare looks up seeing Aditya. She quickly got up and hugs him. The spirits starts to disappear hearing the call for prayer and Aditya being near by. He honestly didnt know if he should comfort her or just let her cry, so he stuck with the second option.

After they were out, zoya sniffing thanks Aditya. He told her to stop her tears already. Seeing the red blood on her cheeks, he grab something from his pocket and wipe it off. Zoya eyes widen.

Zoya says " I wont, not until you come downstairs"

Aditya roll his eyes at her " so you wont leave "

Zoya shook her head. Still covering her eyes she felt Aditya move. She turn to the direction he was and smile. ( his actually doing it) she thought happily.

Aditya decided to pay her back for waking him. Still commando, he walk towards zoya and stood in front of her.

When he got no response, he calls her name. Zoya hearing her name mumble something. Aditya had a hard time catching what she was saying. He says " if I knew you were going to faint like that , I would have just done what you wanted me to do." Feeling guilty he apologized, he said next time he will listen to her"

Cracking one eyes open zoya says " really?"

Aditya nods. Zoya smiling got up she says " now that you said that, their should be no excuse as to why you didnt come down for breakfast."

Aditya confused asks what just happen. Zoya says we tricked you, I know deceit is wrong but it was for a good cause"

Adi says " we?"

Zoya nods and ushers Aladdin inside. He shyly stood behind zoya, but peeped to see his dad. Zoya says " when I woke up Aladdin was downstairs alone eating breakfast. I asked why, and he said you dont like to eat with him."

Adi surprise look at his son. He walk towards zoya, but she stops him and asks him to put something on. Adi sigh and walk to his closet.

" Alaadin, you know I love you. It's just I've been tired and I need more sleep, it's because of that I usually skip breakfast. But I promise I wont skip it again."

He grabs a shirt and puts it on. Zoya turns to Alaadin and ushers him downstairs where surprisingly meals were made. Zoya didnt know how she was able to make them, she just knew that she could move the items with out touching it.

Aditya bewildered asks the maid if she made the food. The maid surprise herself says no. She says after waken his son, she came downstairs to make food, but stop seeing pots and pan moving in the air, and cooking.

Adi turns to zoya who smile proudly. The maid coming closer to adi says " sir I think your house is haunted"

Adi looking at zoya who was trying to put food for Aladdin says " I think your right, we should probably call an exorcist "

Zoya frown when he said that, she says in her head ( those wont work on me)

Aditya seeing Alaadin about to eat the food stops him. He says they should test the food first. Zoya told him she didnt poison the food, but adi didnt by it. I mean who would trust the dead to make them breakfast.

Zoya offended says she will try it than, but Aditya stops her. He says " your already dead, what would be the poi t of eating it."

" than how else do you want to test it?"

Suddenly Adi late wife dog appear. He stared at the dog for a little before making a decision.

Putting a small portion of food, he set it down for the hungry dog.
