I have been a silent reader on the forum but I must admit I enjoy reading everything that is written. I have penned my first OS on this adorable pair AdiYa.
Please forgive typos. I have typed it on my mobile and pasting it on mobile site is a pain.
Please leave your comments.
Love

Life does come a full circle!
Zoya had faith ! Had unflinching faith that Yash didn't cheat on her. However, one look at Pooja's diary and all her doubts were washed away. Pooja! Her husband's love, actually her ex-husband's illicit love had elucidated every single detaIl of their love. She had that diary for a week! Actually it was Aditya who had slammed that diary on her desk.
" I'm hoping you know how to read. Beakal aur bechaari toh Tum ho. I sincerely hope you know how to read, he said as he slapped the diary on her desk and stormed out.
She didn't know what stopped her from reading the diary for seven days. Truth be told , she wanted to believe just a little longer that Yash loved her ! His love for her was undying and irrevocable.
On the eighth day with tentative steps she had entered Aditya's cabin. He was all set with a barrage of tirades when he saw the hesitation on her face.
He got up from his chair and asked her, Zoya, Kya hua?
He fought with her like crazy ! He had made her life miserable! Only Aditya Hooda had the right to turn her life upside down. No one else!
Silently , Zoya walked in his cabin and sat on the empty chair. Aditya took in her appearance. He hair was disheveled and she was clutching the sides of her suit. He kneeled down and gently asked her , Zoya, kuch hua?Mahi ne kuch kaha?
She looked at his face and was momentarily lost. There was genuine worry etched on his face. How could a man be so complex ? One moment he complicated her life and the very next moment he turned into her saviour?
She placed the diary on his table with her shaking hands. Aditya looked at her and then at the diary. His ex-wife's diary!
" Main yeh Akele main nahn padhna chahti, " she told him with tormented eyes.
Aditya stares at her face. She was going to be crushed. She still believed that her husband loved her and this was nothing but his figment of imagination. She had finally mustered the courage to read and unravel the truth. His Zoya had finally decided to close a chapter in her life forever.
His Zoya ? When did she become his Zoya? He mentally shook himself and nodded.
" Main yahan hoon Zoya! Tumhare saath, as he gently squeezed her hand preparing her for the emotional whirlwind that was going to engulf her.
She blinked her eyes. She picked the diary from the table and with a deep breath she opened the first page.
Aditya was worried. She had been reading Pooja's diary for an hour. She had not shed a single tear nor had she made a sound. With almost robotic movements she had turned the pages. Her hands were steady and her eyes didn't leave the page for a second. She finally closed the diary and traced her finger over the cover.
"Zoya?, Aditya called out.
" Main Theek Hun., she murmured again and again convincing herself.
" Main theek hun Aditya. Main bilkul theek hun ", she said as tears rolled down her eyes.
Aditya was besides her in a flash and he hugged her. Her whole world had come crashing down on her.
" Aditya Main theek hun, she repeated like a charm as she sobbed
" Shhh! I know Zoya. Tum ab theek ho. Sab theek ho jayega Zoya, Aditya whispered to her as he caressed her hair.
She finally broke away from his embrace , They were cheating on us. Weren't they?
He nodded his head.
" Aditya , but they loved each other. Didn't they? , she asked him
It still pierced his heart when he thought of Pooja loving another man
" they did ! , he added with disdain.
" They loved each other more than they loved us. Rishte mein pyaar ki nahn dosti ki kami thi. Woh humse kuch kabhi keh hi nahn paaye ", she told him.
" Tum Yash ko maaf kar paaogi?, he asked her
She looked at the diary once again. Her husband was in love with another woman. He wasn't hers. That was the truth.
" Shayad!, she told him
" Tum Pooja ko maaf karoge?, she asked him tentatively well aware how his hatred governed his emotions.
Aditya looked at Zoya. Could he forgive Pooja ? As a husband he could never forgive her but as a friend maybe he could. He thought of countless coffees they had shared as friends. Could she have discussed this with him then? His best friend was in love with another man. This was the reality !
" Shayad, he even shocked himself when he uttered this word.
Zoya gave him a tentative smile and for the first time in a long time Aditya Hoods smiled.
Two people ! Two very unlikely people ! Two people bound by a tragedy ! Two people had just embarked on a journey of healing, self discovery and maybe even love !Hi
