WARNING 10+ It can be corny or cliched
Zoya flumped on couch, stating her presence. Her fingers carefully clasped needle tailing thread while her other hand fixed torn cloth to sew.
Adi straightened at her presence distracted from his game, stealing few glances but her eyes were strongly focused on cloth with cold hard expression filmed on features.
He titled to her side with his head leading, back straight, eyes skipping between phone and zo, failing miserably in gaining her attention.
Couple of minutes later, after he flopped springing, clearing his throat multiple times and yawning for no he reason he gave up.
Tossing his phone aside he grabbed tv remote, switched it on.
"Now they say its historical match if it's Barcelona vs Real Madrid..." the commentator's voice echoed.
Zo snapped her head at tv screen, then at adi. Sharp brown orbs throwing daggers at his cross legged figure, twinkling eyes.
Being irritated was an understatement for her. He was the one to ignite fire and now has the audacity to disregard her presence.
"Batameez insaan" she muttered in fury but he paid no heed at her words, eyes sticked to tv screen.
She grabbed remote control and switched it off, huffing.
The twinkle in his eyes vanished, changed into plane dark brown ones with frown making its presence.
He glanced directly at her knowing well but focused his gaze on his remote, tightly grasped in her palm. In one pounce his forehead smashed against arm rest. She was quick on her feet.
"Tumari problem kya hai?" He demanded rubbing skin on his forehead, erupting light tinges of pain.
"Meri problem? Aapka masla kya hai? Humara subah ka khilola toh apne hankh diya aur ab yaha mad e muqabil par nigha dal kar bhet gaye! (What's your problem? You drove my morning nap away and now sat here watching football match!)"
"MashaAllah, MashaaAllah apne toh mehfil mai chand chand laga diye..." adi exclaimed dramatically shadowing his urge to kiss her senseless, those pouting lips and irritated eyes were tingling sensations. "Now the will you..." he hand raised now with palm asking for remote.
She intentionally dropped remote on floor in way that the battery cells were released out with a clunk "opps" she said with fake apology as adi was shocked with his antiques rubbing off on her
Only this man can ignite such fury in Zoya hooda.
Her lips joined in tight line at adi, in heavy steps she slumped back on couch with her cloth.
Adi glared at zo while picking up cells and inserting them back in place. He was plopped back at his place on couch.
Couple of minutes passed and adi was hooked while Zo's fury was subsided but anger was still present.
"Come on, come on, come on..." adi's low voice chanted. She spared one glance at his finger nails bitting face following his intrigue gaze curiously.
The blue jersey guy was running, saving ball between his legs from tackling opponents slipping away effortlessly with one kick the ball flew up, escaping net while the goal keeper jumped eagerly with hands raised to stop the ball but it wasn't needed as it passed just over the goal.
"Shit man.." he cursed jumpy. Zoya was annoyed too, he with so much of effort took the ball to the goal but he missed it.
The ball was passing between players and now four pair of eyes were focused, intrigued.
The ball was skipping between players. They were clearly passing time but one player managed to grab ball and run towards goal, unfortunately the opponent tackled him down harshly.
"Ye...yeh toh cheating hai!" Zoya reacted clearly offended at his act.
Adi glanced at her with knitted brows, her offended look changed into sheepish one looking at Adi staring back at her.
"Kya baat hai? Aaj humare shayar ko football mai interest aaraha hai?" Adi states surprised
"Bhai apka charger kaha hai? Mere phone ka charger nahi mil raha aur iski battery bhi khatam hogayi hai" Arjun popped in helpless holding his phone.
Their moment of truce was interrupted, yet gain with arjun hooda
"Yahi kahi hoga" he replied diverting his gaze back at tv
"Yahi kahi kidar? Bhai I've an urgent call coming soon and if i won't be able to attend she would get another reason to rebuff my attempts" Arjun exclaimed worried his cell phone would buzz any moment, stressed for lot finding his charger
"Wait a second. She? Who this she?..." Adi asked diverting his gaze back to arjun, all of sudden his careless behavior turned into intrigued one "..oh wait is this girl that chocolate.. no wait was was her name..." he tried to comprehend
"Ladki? Kaunsi ladki? Arjun apne Hume bataya nahi!" Zoya asked excited to know about her sweet devar's interests
"Nahi bhabhi. Bhai pata nahi kiske bare mai baat kar rahe hai" He started searching for adi's charger rubbishing adi's words
"Haan chocolate Devi!" Adi exclaimed feeling slightly proud to have good memory
"Chocomati Devi" Arjun corrected busy in searching but froze at his slip out, blinking rapidly fixing his glasses frightened taking a step back at adi's popped head staring at him closely wondering when his bhai managed to jump in so close to him.
"DEKHA!" Adi exclaimed pointing at Arjun's panicked face "Maine bola tha na koi ladki hai" zoya was nodding astonished
"But yeh naam.." she tried to ask but was cut off "waise yeh ladki ke peeche tu kitne... almost months se hai and you still didn't managed to woo her!" He was shocked at realization "guess she's a hard nut to crack" halting his pondering thoughts he asked "but why didn't you tell me about this girl?" Zoya agreed on his question nodding
"Yeh khandani adat hai. We hoodas don't register their women's often" arjun teased using his half way lie knowing very well his bhabhi is irked when his bhai doesn't acknowledge her infront of his female friends which was on purpose to tease her though, later the next minute she is wrapped in his arms when his male friends try to shake hands with her. Men will be men.
"Of course, why will he? Yeh hai he ahmaq kisam ke insaan" zoya stated with anger fleeting back in her senses
"Zoya dekho mujhe gussa mat dilao yeh kya chal kya raha Haan tumhara? Jabse mujhe taane maar rahi ho" Adi was irritated
"Tauba!" Zoya gasped "hum apko taane nahi maar rahe the! Facts bata rahe the ki apko Hume apni sharike Hayat batane se sharam aati hai" she replied irritated herself
"Kya, Kya, Kya, Kya?" He asked in jiffy, confused
"Yani ki biwi, wife" she replied while arjun slipped out of the room folding wire of charger
"Toh ayse bhi toh bolsakti ho yeh baar baar urdu dictionary kholne ki naubat nahi aati" he stayed with same annoyance..act inside he was enjoying every bit of it, those glaring eyes, flared nose, puffed cheeks and pouty lips excited him to extends
"Ap na...ap" she pointed finger but was at loss of words
"Kya...Haan mai kya?" He asked stepping forward
"Behaya, kamzarf aur ahmaq kisam ke insaan hai" she stated, irritation pumping due to her stammer and his attitude
"Kya baat hai? Aaj phir Wohi words..." he gasped "selfish ladki ek se zyada words agar bologi toh pata hai tumhe mai Sikh lunga lekin Nahi Zoya madam ko insecure hojati hai.." his dramatic sentences only increased her annoyance "tumahri galti nahi hai, mai hoon he itna sharp aur.." he raised his collar
"Ap apna tuflana(childish) andaaz kab chodenge?...Arre Haan ap toh ghaafil(oblivious) ban kar jeena pasand karte hai yeh baat maan kar ki ap ba nuqs(flawless) hokar kamal parast hai(perfect)..ap apni..." zoya's coming out to-be-sarcastic comment was stopped abruptly as Aditya Hooda's full lips slammed on her soft ones locking her in searing kiss.
She fought to oppose but his soft lips sucking hers plump ones, slurping pulp out of it as she moaned giving in.
The feelings were on fire igniting passion as adrenaline pumped in as amount of hunger grew with failed attempt of quenching them and the tongues battled with teeth biting their way in.
One long passionate kiss later he parted only to whisper one sentence before digging in shredding their shyness
"Thank god you're Mrs. Zoya Aditya Hooda now!"
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things
Zoya stepped out of washroom walking back to her table but was bumped in with some men, she tried walk past them but he managed to brush her arm while other sweeped his hand on her butt she shivered with loathsome increasing her pace.
Quickly settling back in her seat her palms fisted with digust feeling self obnoxious
"What's wrong, Are you okay?" Adi asked concerned holding her fisted hand as she loosened with his touch of comfort
"I..I'm fine" she lied taking a sip of water to conceal, he wrapped his one hand around her brushing his palm on her arm to which she squirmed a little at first but she eventually lured in his embrace
As his cocoon of comfort tingled her back to being composed he pecked on top of her head
"Ice cream?" He suggested to which nodded enthusiastically already deciding the flavor
"You order and I'll be right back" he stated to which she nodded cautiously searching for her desired flavor availability
******
They walked out with smiles of having delicious dinner as her suggested mouth watering dishes were perfect with vibes of relaxation passing through them but zoya's one was faded as she spotted the same men, her hands wrapped around Adi's arm in reflex.
Her eyes lowered ignoring them completely waiting for the long walk to their car end but being tensed she stole once glance at them, her gaze fixed as she noticed his one palm shielding his eyes walking just like her scared and acting ignorant but his one glance made her widen eyes grow shock when she noticed his black eyes wobbly steps, the other mens eyes were lowered too as they trod away but she caught a glimpse of one guy among them holding arm wary before they disappeared
She looked at Adi in shock who had flashy hidden smirk plastered on his face, the same expression she saw couple of days back when she got the news of her pottery classes being sued with some scandal about which she wasn't able to find out since it was declared as some kind of private/confidential charges.
She knew something was fishy and adi was involved but she was too naive to comprehend the situations and he wouldn't let her reach the end of it either all she knew was that she was his wife whom he didn't just cocoon in shield of his arms asking her to ignore it all but he was someone who snatched every little plight that approached her knowing the time of it's necessity because his love for her was pure which managed to teach him how to express as people thought it was rare but in truth for them it wasn't acknowledged
You never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
If I let you know, I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh
Zoya sat on her bed terrified, breathing heavily she used her hand to shook Adi off his sleep.
He sat awakened at her frightened state with eyes fixed ahead not meeting his
"Zoya? Zo...kya hua?" He asked worried "did you have another nightmare? It's third one in row..are.." his calculation was abruptly stopped as she stammered his name
"Aa..adi" she called sweating bullets pointing down, his gaze travelled her direction landing down on his quilt was medium size cockroach resting
"Are you kidding me right now?" With this words he laid back with bounce
"Adi please isse yahan se hatao" she pleaded still frozen scared to move inch
"Have some mercy, ab iss zamane mai Kaun isse itna attention de raha hoga so let it relish" he stated relaxing but her tight grip on his shoulder in fear with little insect forced him to act
This act of hers always entertained him he thought while disposing dead insect in dustbin
You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me
"This little act of yours would've made me laugh any other day but now it annoyed me out of my sleep" he stated his offense slumping back to sleep chest rising and falling in couple of seconds later
he flipped on other side roughly in deep slumber making himself feel soft and comfortable but one loud thud and scream ripped him back to his senses
"Zoya??" he called scanning his room after finding bed empty with is stiff sleepy eyes
one hand slapped on mattress and it took only seconds for him to realize before he rushed to her side picking her up in his arms and placing back on bed carefully
"tum niche kaise giri" he asked concerned to which she ignored
"kuch nahi bas.. you sleep it's already getting late and you've flight tomorrow" zoya waved off his question uhsering him to sleep but he was stubborn to oblige
"zoya?' he called sternly glancing back at his place for any inconvenience, at first he didn't notice anything strange but giving it another glance he noticed his pillow on middle while zoya's was in corner with half hanging down
"why didn't you asked me to move?" he questioned with guilt creeping up but much to his dismay she ignored acting to sleep still in corner while he sat in middle but taking deep breath to calm his nerves he laid back on pillow which was moved to other side leaving some space in between, shutting off lamp his hand snaked around her waist pulling her close to himself
He nuzzled close leaving soft kiss on hollow of her neck, her hand placed upon his as she loosened herself once again to his feather light touches
"do you think minutes of peaceful sleep during my hectic work days is more lightening than being culpability?" he whispered his question and she budged to peek at him with innocence which made him give her quick peck on lips before continuing "it's not about me being in peace or you, it's we together have serenity with content knowing the other's state" explaining with soft tone his hand pressed her close to his as he was able to feel her every curve
It's said that everyday we learn a new thing and zoya was striving for knowledge which wasn't entirely necessary because she had the power of adi's love who would support her, correct her, comfort her at every step even if it took every ounce of him but that day he realized that it wasn't just him there was his wife zoya too who was willing to endeavour for his happiness because Zoya Hooda didn't just loved Aditya Hooda she respected him as man and accepted his flaws like a women
