Zoya finally spoke up quietly: Aditya.

Aditya then realised and he got up. And there was an awkward silence.

Aditya: I guess everyone is waiting for us.

Zoya nodded and she headed to wards downstairs in the living room while Aditya followed her.
........................................................................

On the way to downstairs, Zoya's mind was occupied  with the thought of Aditya being so close. She did not feel awkward or uneasy rather she wanted to be like that for some more time.

Zoya to her inner mind: No no. This cannot be happening.

Her inner mind: Are you falling for him?

Zoya could not answer.

Zoya to her inner mind: Why I cannot answer this.

Her inner mind: Cuz you are falling for him.

Zoya to her inner mind: But he raped Pooja.

Her inner mind: Do you really believe it?

Zoya to her inner mind: But that night Pooja told me.

Her thoughts vanished when she saw their family talking about something.

In the downstairs.

Roshnaq: Toh this week Saturday done?

Anjana: Yeah then this week Saturday.

Aditya asked who came downstairs with Zoya: What Saturday you are talking about Ma?

Anjana: Yours and Zoya's engagement.

Arjun: Haan Bhai. And there is very short time so we need to prepare everything very quickly.

Noor: Yeah. Accha Ap logo ne koi event management dekhi hain ya book ki hain?

Harsh: Haan. Mera ek dost hain. Event management ka top quality service hain. I will call him then.

Anjana: Okay then. So I guess we gotta go now. There is very short time and we have to prepare a lot for the engagement.

Harsh: Yeah.

Aditya to Zoya: Uhm Bye and take care.

Zoya nodded and gave a small smile.

The next day.

In the morning. In living room of Siddique House.

Roshnaq: Zoya beta, kal parso apki engagement hain. Ap ab kaha jaa rahi hain?

Zoya: Ammi, wo mujhe na ek saheli se milne jana hain. Usse bhi invite kardunga.

Roshnaq: Haan. To phir thik hain. And come back soon. Okay?

Zoya: G.

Zoya took a cab and went to Mumbai Hospital.

In Pooja's Cabin.

Sakshi: Zoya.

Zoya: Hello Aunty.

Sakshi: Hello beta. Beta what I am hearing that you are going to marry Aditya Hooda?

Zoya: Yes Aunty. You are right. Actually (How Aditya came to her house and told about their relationship then how Wasim agreed and how Wasim now wants their wedding so soon)

Sakshi: Oh my God. But Zoya, how can you marry him. I do not want you to get in trouble for us.

Zoya: No no. Aunty. Actually it will be good. May be after marriage I can get more clues about him.

Sakshi: But you are taking very very risk, Zoya.

Zoya: Aunty, lawyers ka to kaam hi hota hain risk lena. You just keep blessing me.

Sakshi: My blessings are always with you.

*******

The days passed like a breeze. Both the families were busy preparing for the engagement function.

Finally it was the day of engagement.

The Hoodas entered the Siddique House. It was decorated so classy yet gorgeously. After all the top businessman and the top lawyer's chindren were getting married.

Aditya was wearing a blue colour sherwani. All the girls in the function were drooling over him for just getting his attention. And those were also sad cuz he was groom.

Wasim and Roshnaq greeted the Hooda's.

Arjun: Where is Zoya Bhabi?

Roshnaq: I will just go and check if she is done or not.

Anjana: Sure.

In Zoya's room.

Disha (one of Zoya's friend): Zoya, maine tera pati ko dekha. By God. He is so handsome.

Avni (Zoya's cousin): Haan yaar. Matlab main ab kya bolu. Aditya is way too much hot and handsome.

Where Zoya was not listening to all of this, she was just in her own thoughts.

Noor: Huh. Dekhna hoga na ki kiska Jiju hain. Aur Appi, aj to ap Aditya jiju se bhi kam nahi lag rahi hain.

Roshnaq entered the room.

Roshnaq: Zoya, are you done beta?

Zoya: G Ammi.

Roshnaq: Arreh Arreh. Ma Sha Allah. Humari bacchi to ekdum pari ki tarha lag rahi hain.

Zoya just smiled and Roshnaq placed a black kohl dot behind Zoya's neck.

Roshnaq: Ab jaldi se chalo. Everyone is waiting for you.

Noor: Ammi, main na niche ek bar sab dekh ke a rahi hoon.

Roshnaq: Haan. Thik hain.

In downstairs.

Arjun to Aditya: Bhai. Bhabi ajayegi. Ap itna utavle kyun ho rahe ho?

Aditya: Chote, jab tera shaadi hoga na tab tu samjhega.

At that very moment, Noor came downstairs and Arjun's breath stopped.

Arjun to Aditya: Sahi kaha Bhai apne.

Aditya noticed that his brother was absolutely dumbstruck then he realised that he was actually dumbstruck by noticing Noor.

Noor came to Aditya: Hi Jiju.

Aditya: Hello Sali Sahiba.

Aditya to Arjun (only audible to Arjun): Arjun, response otherwise you will be caught by Noor that you are drooling over her.

Arjun's trances broke.

Arjun: Ahem Ahem. Aa Hi Noor.

Noor: Hi. Ap log itna kya baate kar rahe the?

Aditya: Kuch nahi to, bas asehi.

Noor: Oh. Arreh wo rahi Appi.

At that very moment Zoya arrived downstairs.

Aditya was mesmerised would be an understatement. For a second his surroundings vanished. His jaws literally dropped. Damnnn!!!!!!

Noor: Lag rahi hain na humari Appi. Bilkul awesome.

Aditya: She is looking just enthralling.

Arjun: Noor, I guess someone is gazing my Bhabi.

Noor giggled.

Aditya: Ahem. Who?

Arjun: Bhai, ap. Aur kaun.

Aditya: Koi, nahi to.

Noor: Oh Jiju. Plz. Hum na sab dekh rahe hain okay?

Aditya: Uhmm.

Anjana to Zoya: Bohat pyaari lag rahi ho. Kisiki nazar na lage.

Zoya just smiled.

Harsh: Accha engagement ki function shuru kar de? Der nahi ho rahi?

Wasim: Haan. Exactly. Roshnaq, ring le aiye.

Roshnaq: Haan. Wo to shagun ki thaali mein hi hain.

Anjana: To jaldi rings exchange kar lete hain. Zoya, Adi. Chalo.

Then Zoya and Aditya were sitting on the two huge chairs where everyone was seeing them. Zoya was a bit nervous and Aditya understood that she was a bit nervous so he just said quietly.

Aditya: Zoya.

Zoya quickly looked at him.

Aditya just blinked his eyes as an assurance that they are in this together. Zoya's heart felt very warm and relieved. She just passed a small smile.

Anjana: Zoya, the ring.

Zoya made Aditya wear the ring and the vice versa. Everybody clappedand hooted and they were very very happy for them.

Noor: Accha. To ab kya engagement ki function thodi si entertaining kar sakte hain na?

Arjun: Bhai ki gaana sunke?

Noor: Jiju, ap gaana ga sakte ho?

Aditya: Nahi. Nahi. Matlab itna koi khaas nahi hain.

Wasim: Arreh ek gaana ga dijiye na Aditya. Hum bhi to sune humari tamad kya humse bhi behtar gaate hain ya nahi.

Aditya: Arreh Abbu. Main ap se behtar kabhi gaa hi nahi sakta.

Roshnaq: Arreh Adi beta. App gaiye to sahi. Phir hum decide karenge.

Aditya just smiled and looked at Zoya and started singing.

Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm.

Pal.. do pal.. ki hi kyun hai zindagi
Is pyar ko hai sadiyan kaafi nahin
To khuda se maang loon
Mohlat main ek nayi
Rehna hai bas yahan
Ab door tujh se jana nahin..

Jo tu mera Humdard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai

Suhana har dard hai..
Jo tu mera humdard hai

Aditya stood up and took Zoya's hand and started singing and went to the dance floor. Some other couples also joined them including Roshnaq-Wasim, Anjana-Harsh, Arjun-Noor and many more.

Teri muskuraahatein hain taakat meri
Mujhko inhee se ummid milee
Chahe kare koi sitam yeh jahan..
Inmein hi hai sada hifazat meri
Zindghani badi khoobsurat huyi
Jannat ab aur kya hogi kahin

Aditya and Zoya were moving in rhythm. Zoya was looking at his eyes as if she is trying to read something.

Zoya in her mind: These eyes. Why I am not be able to read these eyes. What is written in it?

tu mera humdard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Suhana har dard hai...
Jo tu mera humdard hai

Oo..... Oo.....

Teri dhadhkano se hai zindagi meri
Khwaahishein teri ab duayein meri
Kitna anokha bandhan hai yeh..
Teri meri jaan jo ek huyi
Lautoonga yahan tere paas main haan
Vada hai mera mar bhi jaaoon kahin

Jo tu mera hamdard hai
Jo tu mera humdard hai
Suhana har dard hai...
Jo tu mera humdard hai

Mmm.. humdard hai
Mmm.. hamdard hai
Mmm.. humdard hai...
Mmm.. humdard hai

Everyone hooted and clapped. Aditya and Zoya backed stepped after hearing the sound of claps.

Roshnaq: Aditya, you sang so well. Really beta, you sang more better than you father in law.

Zoya: Nooh. Yeah I agree you sang well but not better than my Abbu.

Aditya: Even I am not agreeing that I sang better than Abbu.

Harsh: Accha. Wasim, you sing a song na. That would be best.

Noor chirped: G Abbu. You sing a song na. Plz.

Zoya and Aditya also requested.

Wasim: Accha thik hain. Thik hain. Ap log itne zor kar hi rahe hain to thik hain. So ye song main meri Zoya beti ke liye dedicated hain.

Ho oo oo ooo
Meri duniya  meri duniya
Meri duniya tu hi ve
Meri khushiya meri khushiya
Meri khushiya tu hi ve
Meri duniya  meri duniya
Meri duniya tu hi ve
Meri khushiya meri khushiya
Meri khushiya tu hi ve

Raat din tere liye sajde karu
Duyaien maangu re
Mein yahan appne liye rab se
Teri balaein mangu re
Ho oo oo ooo

Tune hi jeena sikhaya
Humlogo ko accha inshan banaya
Zindagi hai tera saaya
Anjanao ko seedha rasta deekhaya

Tu nai ek roshni le aai hai
Jeevan ki raahon mein
Har ghadi guzre teri
Saari umar abb apne baahon mein

Ho oo oo ooo

Humne ki jo bhi khataaien
Hum jhelenge unki saari saaaja bhi
Humne ki jitni jafayen
Hum unse bhi abb karenge wafa bhi

Hooohum naye mausam naya
Aalam naya badle hain armaan bhi
Keh rahi eshaas ki
Gehraiyan tehra hai tofaan bhi

O oo oo ooo

Meri duniya  meri duniya
Meri duniya tu hi ve
Meri khushiya meri khushiya
Meri khushiya tu hi ve

Raat din tere liye sajde karu
Duyaien maangu re
Mein yahan appne liye rab se
Teri balaein mangu re
O oo oo ooo.

Zoya really wanted to cry even Wasim's eyes were filling with tears. The father-daughter hugged and everyone clapped. Wasim took Zoya right hand and Aditya's left hand and joined them.

Wasim to Aditya: Aditya, hum apko humari ek heera de rahe hain. To. Plz inhe sambhal kar rakhiyega. HUMSE WADA KIJIYE KI AP HUMARI BACCHI KO KABHI DUKH MEIN NAHI RAHENGE?

Aditya: ABBU, MAIN APSE WADA KAR RAHA HU KI MAIN ZOYA KO KABHI BHI DUKH MEIN NAHI RAKHUNGA.

The moment was really emotional for everyone. Noor tried to cheer everyone.

Noor wiping the happy tear drops: Haan. Aur humse to koi pyaar hi nahi karta.

Everybody laughed.

Wasim: Arreh. Kisne kaha ki hum log humari kohinoor ko bhul jayenge?

Noor also joined the hug.

After the dinner.

Aditya wanted to meet Zoya for once but due to the pressure of so many works he could not.

Aditya in his mind: Why everyone is giving me so works. I am the groom yaar. Not fair. But ab Zoya se kaise milu..

Anjana same out of nowhere: Adi. Tu yaha? Chal jaldi, ghar nahi jaana kya?

Aditya: Aa haan. Haan. Main ahi raha tha.

Anjana: Haan to chal. Jaldi aa.

Aditya whined in his mind: Ahaaaaaa. Zoya ko to main ye bhi thik se nahi bol paya ki wo kitni khub surat lagrahi hain. Dhurrr.
