I Accept

OOPS

After Zoya and Tiger parted ways Zoya went to the kitchen to drink some water. Hanna approached her

Hanna: where were you

Zoya wasn't listening but having flashbacks of her and Tiger dancing. Hanna then shook her shoulders and Zoya came back to reality

Zoya: I'm sorry Hanna did you say something?

Hanna: it doesn't matter now. You look beautiful

Zoya: thank you

Hanna: anyway I better get going these trays won't walk by themselves to our guests

Hanna picked up the trays with snacks on them to feed the guests

Akshay's friends started laughing at him

Friend 1: what happened mr. She's going to end up in my bed tonight

Akshay: if it wasn't for Krishna's brother we wouldn't be here right now but at my place

Friend 2: yea yea keep telling yourself that buddy, when you have someone like Tiger there's no way girls would look at us

Akshay: speak for yourself, I'm Akshay dinjal and if I want someone then I will get it even if it's by force

His friends continued laughing in the background while Akshay was planning on something

As Zoya was adjusting her sari while walking the hallway where it's away from everybody she bumped into Tiger. They looked at each other for 3 seconds

Tiger: I uh...— I wanted to apologi-

Zoya: Listen sir I am nothing like any of the girls you've worked with or hung out before, I am a simple village girl, the dresses these women wear I can never afford them but that doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want with me

Tiger: what??—

Zoya put her hands together

Zoya: please don't get near me again and don't try your foolish tactics on me because they won't work

Without letting Tiger speak she walked off leaving Tiger mesmerized

Tiger: I can't believe this girl?! She's not normal. Foolishness?! And I as well am nothing like any of your village men, don't test my patience Zoya Ali Khan

Tiger also had left the opposite direction of where Zoya walked off

A little kid approached Zoya

Child: excuse me

Zoya: omg hi, by the way you shouldn't be running around there's too many people here I don't want you to trip and fall okay

Zoya was very good with kids and she loved them too

Child: my balloon got stuck in a tree can you please help me get it down

Zoya: a balloon?

The kid held Zoya by the hand and dragged her outside. But little did she know was that Akshay gave chocolate to the kid and tricked him so he could take Zoya outside.

Zoya: wait hold on we're both going to fall

Zoya giggled. They approached the tree, the kid then turned around and saw Akshay whispering him to get away so he did. Zoya turned around and saw the kid running inside

Zoya: where are you going!

Zoya thought that there actually might be a balloon in the tree so she tried to look for it, meanwhile Akshay sneaked up behind her with Chloroform covering on a small towel to cover her mouth and nose but just then James approached Zoya and once Akshay saw him he quickly ran back and hid behind a tree punching it because of his failed plan again

James: what are you doing here

Zoya: a little boy told me that his balloon got stuck and needed help but then he ran off

James: yea kids are like that sometimes. I think I see it

Zoya: really where

James came closer to the tree and pointed at it

Zoya: yep I see it too. Come on hold out your arms

James: Hu?

Zoya: well someone has to get it don't you think, hold out your hands so I climb the tree and get the balloon for the kid

James: don't bother with it I'll tell one of the servants to get it, and it's just a kid he can get another balloon

Zoya: the HELPERS are busy inside and so what if we get it right now he'll be very happy

James: ugh alright fine

James held out his arms together, Zoya put her foot on his crossed hands putting her weight to the tree then climbed up, Zoya managed to get the balloon which surprised James

James: I'm guessing this isn't your first time climbing up a tree

Zoya: I'm a village girl remember, I used to climb all places

Zoya giggled and James scoff smiled, Zoya found and apple

Zoya: OMG James look I found an apple

Zoya picked it up and threw it out thinking james had caught it but what she didn't know is that it hit Tigers head

Zoya: did you get it!

James turned around and saw his brother with an irritated face looking up at Zoya in the tree, James was scared himself his eyes were wide open and had a "YIKES" face.

Zoya: jamesss I'm asking if you got it—

Zoya looked and noticed Tiger, she too had her eyes wide open, they were both staring at each other, Tiger in anger while Zoya surprised. She then looked down and saw the apple

Zoya: wait did the apple hit you?

Zoya then started laughing, James turned around trying to hold back in his laugh and avoiding eye contact with his brother but the only one who wasn't laughing was Tiger
