The coincidence is that both of them were listening to the same song and they both were thinking of each other.
But the problem is that one was feeling with utmost care and love and the other one was just thinking with a past attached to her mind.
........................................................................

The next day at Hooda House.
All the Hoodas were having their breakfast except Aditya, who was just coming down from the stairs.

Aditya: Good Morning Ma. Good Morning Chote.

Arjun: Good Morning Bhai.

Anjana just smiled at Aditya, a weak smile as Harsh was also there but Aditya did not wish his father.

Aditya sat on the chair for the breakfast which Anjana served him.

Aditya: Ma. Today I have a flight to Jaipur for some important meeting.

Anjana: And you are telling me now?

Aditya: I was planning to tell you two days before but I forgot.

Anjana: Accha fine. For how many days?

Aditya: 2 to 3 may be.

Anjana: You are going alone?

Aditya: No. Zoya is also going with me.

That is it. Aditya literally regretted telling about Zoya. Cuz he know now his melodramatic mother and his Chote is gonna pull his leg.

Arjun: Zoya. Accha. Oooohhh.

Aditya: What ooh? She is my assistant and she needs to be with me in the working hours. I would also take my previous assistants with me when I leave the city for some work.

Arjun: But Bhai. Maine to apse aisa kuch kaha hi nahi. To phir ap Itni explanation kyun de rahe hain?

Aditya was silent now. Anjana also started to put some oil in the fire.

Anjana: Haan Adi. Arjun thik to keh raha hain? Tu itna excited kyun ho jata hain Zoya ka naam sun ke?

Aditya just stood up: My breakfast is done. Bye.

Arjun: Arreh. Bhai. Ap to sharma rahe ho.

Aditya lightly smacked Arjun's shoulder and left for office.

Harsh was just smiling all the through.

Harsh: Does Adi likes Zoya?

Arjun: Like? Paa. He loves Zoya.

Anjana: Kaash. Mujhe to laga tha ki Adi shayad pyaar mein kabhi nahi padega. Lekin khush hoon ki Zoya jaise ladki mili hain usse.

Harsh: Haan. Zoya is a sweet girl na. Obedient, Intelligent.

Arjun: Yeah. But I don't think Bhai would tell his feelings to Zoya.

Anjana: Why?

Arjun: Ma. Didn't you saw how Bhai ignored his feelings for Zoya?

Anjana: Haan wo to hain. Bhagwan kare un dono ka rishta jaldi ban jaye.

Harsh: Anjana, rishta to already uparwale ne bana Liya hain. Bas be patience.

Anjana nodded.

At Madhu's House.

Zoya, having her breakfast spoke up.

Zoya: Madhu Aunty. Actually I need to leave for Jaipur today with Aditya for some meetings purpose.

Madhu: Ooh. OK. Be safe beta. And when you will reach, just call me.

Zoya: OK Aunty.

Noor: But I will be alone here.

Zoya: Noor, I will be back after 3 days. And in these 3 days you can also see the Mumbai if you want.

Noor: Haan. This is a nice idea. Mumbai ka darshan bhi ho jayega.

Zoya: Hmm. Mahi. If you are done then let us go?

Mahi: Hmm. Sure.

They set off for office.

At Hooda Office.

Zoya: Good Morning Sir.

Aditya: Good Morning. Narrate the schedule for today.

Zoya: Sir there is 1 meeting as you have told me to cancel the rest of the meetings except the Aroras and your flight to Jaipur is at 6 pm.

Aditya working on the laptop: Hmm. Be ready by 5. My driver will pick you up from your home.

Zoya: Sir you don't need to...

Aditya: I do not want your permission. Now just get back to work.

Zoya muttered: Khadoos.

Aditya heard it but pretend not to be heard.

Aditya: You said something?

Zoya: Nope.

With that Zoya left his cabin.

Aditya's lips curved with a smile: Khadoos? Itna ajeeb naam.

At 5 pm.
Zoya got ready and was bidding bye to Madhu and Noor. She stood outsode her building and there she saw a car waiting for him.

Zoya in her mind: Oh. So he also came.

Aditya was standing outside the car and was going through his phone.

Zoya: Sir?

Aditya: Oh Zoya. You came. Get inside the car.

Zoya got inside the car and greeted the Hooda Driver, Arjun.

Arjun: Hey Zoya.

Zoya: Hi.

Aditya: Arjun. Drive ASAP.

Arjun: Bhai. Actually I was thinking that I should leave studying law and become your personal driver. How is that?

Zoya giggled.

Aditya: Chote.

Arjun: No Bhai. I am serious. Sab ko kisi na kisi kaam ke liye humesha Arjun ko hi yaad kyun ati hain?

Aditya totally ignored his dramatic brother.

Arjun: Huh. BTW Zoya. Noor is also studying law na?

Zoya: Haan.

Arjun: Yeah that will be good. When she will become lawyer, she can argue easily as she does with me.

Zoya: Him bhi na Noor ko humesha yehi kehte hain. Unko to matlab argue karne ka itna shaukh hain ki wo law hi le li.

Arjun and Zoya laughed out.

Aditya: At least not like you guys. So doomed and silence all the time.

Zoya: Doomed aur silence hi acchi hoti hain.

Aditya: No. I don't agree.

Arjun: But I agree.

Aditya: Haan haan. Jab main Noor ko bolunga na ki tum log iske baare mein ye sab bolte ho then I will see.

Zoya: App hume aur Arjun ko dhamki de rahe hain?

Aditya: Huh. Mujhe dhamki dene ki zaroorat nahi hain. Aditya Hooda dhamki nahi deta balki kaam se karta hain.

Zoya: Itni over confidence bhi a chi nahi hai Sir.

Aditya: This is not over confidence. This is smartness with confidence. Ab ladkiya to mujhpe aisehi nahi marti na.

Zoya: Ohho. Itna guroor?

Aditya: Bachpan se.

Zoya: Guroor mein rehne par Khushi nahi rehti.

Aditya: Rahene ki baat mat kar, Khusi kudh hamse Muskurana sikhne aaya karti hai.

Arjun: Ohho. Shayri haan. Zoya. You should also give a reply na.

Zoya: Hmm. Khushi bhale hi apse muskurana sikhne ajaye lekin jab dard aa jata hain tab to Khushi bhi dhoka de deti hain.

Arjun: Wah wah. Wah wah.

Aditya: Huh ab Ghalib se kya shayri competition laga na.

Arjun: Matlab Bhai app har gaye Zoya se.

Zoya managed to do a high 5 with Arjun fron the back seat.

Aditya thought smiling: Agar hume harne se unhe Khushi milti hain to hum aise aur hazar baar harna chahenge.

Aditya's inner feeling: Hmm? Did you just mean you love her?

Aditya: No.

Aditya's inner feelings: Haha. We know that you love Zoya.

Aditya: Not love but may be I like her.

Aditya's inner feeling: Pagal wo love hi hain. Jab wo smile karti hain tab to tera din ban jaata hain. Aur jab usse koi chuye tab to tujhe bardasht nahi hota. Aur usse khone ke khayal se itna darta hain aur bolta hain ki pyaar nahi karta.

Aditya just ignored those and soon they reached the airport.

After that they checked in and got inside the plane.

Zoya was sitting on the window seat. She was observing outside when the plane start to take off. Zoya was reciting Aytul Qursi as she was hell scared of flights.

Aditya was watching her, reciting something in Arabic.

Aditya: You are scared of flights.

He said as a statement.

Zoya nodded looking at him.

Aditya: Okay. Zoya look at me. Look at me.

Zoya looked at him.

Aditya: Take a deep breath.

Zoya took a deep breath.

Aditya: Exhale.

She exhaled.

Aditya: Now think about someone you like, someone who makes you feel peace and relieved.

Zoya closed her eyes and what came next just blew her mind. She saw Aditya's face when she closed her eyes.

Zoya in her mind: No. No.

Aditya's words repeated in her ears: Think someone you like, someone who makes you feel peace and relieved.

Zoya in her mind: Why did I imagine him.

Her breathing got steady and now she was actually relieved.

Aditya: See I told you. You will feel better.

Zoya looked at Aditya and just passed a smile and realised she was actually relaxed now.

Zoya: Thanks.

Aditya just passed a sweet smile.

Zoya then diverted her gaze at the window.

Aditya's inner feelings: Why you were tensed seeing her in this situation?

Aditya: Uhh plz don't start again.

Aditya's inner feelings: Accha. Hum bole to galat.

Aditya again ignored these feelings and looked at Zoya. After about 10 min while he was reading the magazine he noticed some light weight on her shoulder.

He half turned his head and Zoya, sleeping like an angel on his shoulder. One lock of hairs were on her face. Aditya did not thought anything and just tucked that hair beside her ears.

Aditya in his mind: Huh. I just wish to look at her the rest of my life.

Aditya's inner feelings: Huh? Did you say something?

Aditya: Did I?

Aditya's inner feelings: You fell in love?

Aditya just sighed and finally realised his love. HIS LOVE, ZOYA.

Aditya's inner feelings: Ye pyaar hua kab?

Aditya in his mind: May be when I saw her first time, may be when I saw her in saree, may be when Ma and Arjun liked her a lot, may be when she bandaged my wound, may be because of her eyes, may be because of her honesty or may be because of her. There can be thousands of reasons but I don't know. I just know that I love her for what she is. I love her with all myself. Yes I LOVE ZOYA.

A smile crept on his face till he slept off thinking about Zoya.

Aditya woke up by hearing the announcement of landing. Aditya saw Zoya still sleeping keeping her head on his shoulder. Aditya lightly spoke up.

Aditya: Zoya. We have reached.

Zoya woke up with a jerk after she realised her position.

Zoya: I. I am sorry Sir.

Aditya: We have reached. Let's go.

Zoya in her mind: Uff Zoya. You are making mistakes by mistakes. In this way you can never put Aditya in your trap.

They got into the car with Zoya thinking to be pretend good and nice in front of him and Aditya thinking about his new feelings for Zoya. Oops sorry. HIS ZOYA.

They reached the hotel.

Aditya to the receptionist: Two rooms were booked from in the names Aditya Hooda and Zoya Siddique.

The receptionist: Just a min Sir. I will check and inform you.

The receptionist checked and said: Yes Sir. Room no. 506 and 507.

The receptionist gave the keys to Aditya and Zoya.

While walking to their rooms.

Aditya: Zoya. When will be the function start at?

Zoya: By 7 pm.

Aditya: Okay. Get ready by 7. Hope we will set off by 7.

Zoya: Okay Sir.

Then they went to their own respective rooms.

Aditya's Pov.

After I got fresh, I just sat on a chair in balcony and was watching the beauty of nature and then Zoya's face appeared. Huh. My first true love. I always feel so calm after seeing Zoya that everything around us disappears for a moment. She is truly a gem. But will I be able to tell her my feelings? What if she has a boyfriend? What if she doesn't love me back. But I saw the care for me in her eyes. Umm am I mistaken or what? Adi. Let me just call Chote. Ab wahi mera bharosa hain. He is pro in impressing girls.

I dialled Arjun's number and he picked up the call in few seconds.

Aditya's Pov ends.

Arjun: Hey Bhai. You reached?

Aditya: Yup. Inform Ma that I reached Jaipur safely.

Arjun: Okay.

Aditya: Arjun Listen.

Arjun: Haan.

Aditya: Umm I actually wanna tell something about Zoya.

Arjun: You love her right?

Aditya: How do you know?

Arjun: Oh come on Bhai. I am not a kid now. I saw how you changed after Zoya's entry. Now you even listen to Radio and songs. And you even smiles often without any reason. Bhai. I need to tell you that you changed a lot and you changed for good.

Aditya: Huh. You are right Arjun but what if she does not have any feelings for me?

Arjun: I guess she have. We have to check it first.

Aditya: But how?

Arjun: See. Love has many stages. Two of them is care and jealous and the main is trust. If you two pass in this stages then congratulations Bhai.

Aditya: Hmm. I understood. Baki sab main sambhal loonga.

Arjun: Ek thank you to de do Bhai.

Aditya: Kisse? Tujhe? Huh. Chal rakh. Mujhe kaam hain. Bye.

Arjun: Arreh.

The phone got disconnected.

Arjun: Kisi ko to mera parwa hi nahi. Chal Arjun Tujhe to uss se bhi milna tha. If I get late then she will eat my head.

In Jaipur.

Aditya in his mind: At first I need to be confirmed that Zoya have some feelings for me. I feel that she has. I feel it. I will not give up on my love. No. I will try till the last breath.

Aditya totally made up his mind that he will be sure at first then he will confess cuz he did not want Zoya to be in guilt but somewhere in his heart he knew that she loves him. That little hope made his confidence level into 100.
