"The freaking cabbage." Zoya was embarrassed.
"It's okay, It's Aditya." Pooja comforted her.
Ring!
Pooja got a call and went to her room.
Maya and Zoya went to change.

Aditya laughed alot after entering his room. He locked it soon after he entered so that no one would know.
He found Zoya too adorable.
He wanted to steal her away, Especially after looking at her in that outfit.
Gosh she was so pretty!
He thought that he should've taken a photo of it.
And the cabbage tho..
Wow! They really are creative.
Ting!
Aditya received a message.

Daddy: Chickoo, I am coming to India, To your house tommorow to see my Maya and Arjun. Be ready...

Aditya smiled looking at that message but it didn't last long enough.
His smile faded away as he thought of Zoya.
How will she handle it?
She has had a very bad experience with his parents and somehow he got another chance to be with her.
What if they hurt her again.
He didn't want to loose her again.

They were all having lunch together. Since Aditya worked alot the other day, He decided to stay at home.
Zoya and Noor went to office.
Aditya was still nervous about his dad coming home.
When Maya went to wash her hands, Pooja slowly went to Aditya and started to wisper, "So you know about our-"
The door bell rang.
"I'll go get it." Maya said While returning and opened the door.
"O my god!" Maya exclaimed.
Pooja and Aditya turned to look.
It was their parents.
Aditya's eyes widened.
"Auntie, Uncle! Come!" Maya exclaimed.
Aditya stood up in shock.
"Dad, Mom, How are you here?" Aditya asked.
"Didn't you see the message yet? I thought you were busy so I called and you didn't attend my call so I decided to message and now you are asking how we are here." Aditya's mom spoke, Without breathing.
How was she able to talk like this?
"I saw the message but you said you would come tommorow." Aditya said.
"Yeah, yesterday I said  that I'll come tommorow so I came today."
"Why, don't you like us coming? " Aditya's dad asked.
"Of course not." Aditya said.
*Umm...Wut?*
The entire room looked at him.
"I meant that, Of course!  How will I not like it when you come. That too after a long time."
Aditya laughed doubtedly.

Arjun returned home along with Zoya, Noor and Yash.
Zoya had gone to book the marriage hall.
He was surprised to see Aditya's dad and mom.
"Hello!"
They greeted eachother and hugged tightly.
Zoya and Noor looked confused but smiled looking at their hug.
Yash was surprised too.
After he hugged Arjun, Aditya's dad hugged Yash too.
They all looked happy.
Aditya's dad turned to Zoya and Noor.
Zoya looked familiar to Aditya's dad.
"Hi, May I-" Aditya's dad started.
"Uncle, This is Zoya the event manager and this is Noor my P.A." Yash said.
"Oh, Nice meeting you." He said and shook hands with them.
Looking at their interaction, Aditya immediately came downstairs to his dad.
Pooja called all of them to the kitchen at that very moment.
She had a good timing.
They all went except for Aditya and his dad.
His dad pulled him back.
"Adi, Is she possibly Zoy-" his dad started.
"Zoya siddiqi? Yeah." Aditya replied.
His dad's eyes widened in shock.
"Are you serious? How is she with you even after knowing the truth?"
"She knows the truth but not entirely. Until then they should be miles apart from eachother."
"Okay but h-"
"Dad, I'll take care of it." Aditya assured.
"Thank god your mom has gone to meet her friends now." Aditya's dad sighed.

"That's the screen." Aditya's dad said and pulled all of them inside the theatre.
The movie started within seconds.

After Aditya spoke with his dad at home, They all decided to watch a movie together, Leaving his mom because she wanted to spend more time with her friends.
That was a relief.
Atleast for Aditya and his dad.

Aditya missed Zoya because the whole of that day, He was working like a machine and never got to spend even a second with her.
Although The cabbage part was really surprising, He wanted to be with her.
He missed her voice and the way she reacts to everything.
He got very used to eating dinner with Zoya so he felt lonely eating dinner without her.

Aditya still does not know about the interaction between Yash and Zoya that night.

Yash was too embarrassed to face Zoya. He still didn't believe that he had told all of that to her.
He poured his heart out unconsciously.
Even if it felt like a big burden off his shoulders, He was embarrassed of that.
A little bit of Alcohol does change a lot of things.
For the better or worse,
It depends on the person inside.
And if it happens, Things cannot be changed again.
Even for the better.

They all went to a typical bollywood movie.
Zoya got really bored at the first 20 minutes of the movie.
Aditya noticed it as she kept yawning.
He leaned closer to her ear and started to wisper,
"Now the hero will come out of all their power and fight them."
Zoya smiled and continued with him.
"And all of them will fly away"
"Yes, And the girl smiles."
Was he really telling about the movie?
Zoya laughed.
"And he hits them"
"Woah, They prove gravity wrong."
"Cars flying."
"Humans flying."
"Weapons flying."
"Birds flying."
"Sound effects."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Tap! Tap!"
"Sshuck!"
"Blast!"
The whole row was staring at them.
They noticed it and stopped there.

Before the movie came to an end, They started their commentary again.
"Fight again."
"The girl is caught."
"They fly again."
"The girl smiles again."
"Boom! Boom!"
"Chop!"
"Chak!"
"The girl runs to hug him."
"Full of blood."
"Hero's mind voice."
"They smile."
"End"
"One whole unrealistic movie"
They laughed at eachother afterwards.

Zoya was still laughing after reaching home.
"Hey stop, Your face muscles might hurt" Aditya said gulping a whole glass of water down his throat at Zoya's home.
"It's fine, It won't last long."
Zoya finally stopped laughing after sometime and looked at Aditya.
"Why? Why are you looking at me like that? " Aditya asked.
He stuttered as he was nervous.
"Thank you." Zoya said softly.
Aditya looked at her.
"You made me really happy today. Thanks. " Zoya continued.
"I like to look at you happy." Aditya said.
Zoya looked at him amazed.
"Didn't expect it, Did you?" Aditya said and walked out.
"Aditya" Zoya called him.
He turned.
"We are going to choose the jewellery tommorow, It'll be nice if you could join us." Zoya said.
Aditya kept looking at her.
"I-I-If it's ok with you."
"It's okay with me."
"Thank you."
"Bye."
"Bye."

But that didn't end there. After Aditya went few steps out of the house, He came back running inside and hugged Zoya from the back.
Zoya was shook.
"I'll never forget today, Zoya." Aditya wispered in her ears.
Zoya blushed like crazy realising how close he was to her.

Yash stood outside looking at them.
He was smiling looking at them.
