Adi did not want to be around when Zoya left on her date or whatever she had planned with Arshad.

Adi wanted to leave for the Golf Resort immediately. But the others wanted to see Sanju's Adda with all those sensor lights and other gimmicks. They would surely be the last ones to leave after the long walk they had taken around the property; he hoped.

But when they approached their car park from the other end, Sanju's smaller car was still parked there. Why hadn't her parents left yet?

The answer soon walked into the car park. Arshad and Zoya! Waseem had borrowed the car so that they got some privacy away from Aditya's sidekicks.

Aditya tried to ignore them but could not. He found himself discreetly checking out Zoya. She was her usual pretty self but she had not put in any extra efforts for the occasion. In fact she looked pale unwell drawn. It had been a long day.

Adi's hands and feet moved on their own accord. His feet took him towards her; left others much behind in an instant. The skin on the back of his hand tingled; itched to feel her forehead; find what was ailing her.

Arshad was thrilled to see them all. He had actually waited and just given up, crossing paths with all of them in one place. He was in luck. So he thought!

Arshad: (turning around to Adi) Aditya! I was wondering how to thank you for the lake episode. And I think I have a perfect precious token...

Adi: (turning back slightly) I don't waun...

Arshad: Please. I insist.

And before Adi could stop him, Arshad took a step back to Sanju's car and picked something from the back seat and walked to Adi. As they came closer the girls recognised their tray.

Arshad held it out to Adi. Adi gave the tray a blank look.

Arshad: This was specially created by the ladies for me today morning...
