Recap
At 5 o clock.

Aditya texted her.

Aditya: How are you now?

Zoya saw the text.

Zoya: Fine.

Aditya: I would come but cuz of this freaking rituals I could not.

Zoya: It is ok. Moreover I am completely fine now.

Aditya: Huh.. I know how much fine you are.Noor told me how you were crying when she applied the medicine.

Zoya: Arreh. Noor to kuch zyada hi bada ke bolti hain.

Aditya: 😒😒. OK now you take rest. I just can't tolerate that humari shaadi ke din hi.... Huh. Just hope that shaadi thik thak se ho jaye.

Zoya: Hmm. Accha Ammi hume bula rahi hain. Hum chalte hain. Bye.

Aditya: Bye ❤️

The text ended.
.................................................................

Zoya stood up and went to the mirror and saw herself. The red marks because of the haldi on her back, legs, and hands.

Zoya: Did seriously Aditya do this? But except Aditya who will do this kind of filthy thing.

Mahi: Zoya.

Zoya turned and saw Mahi.

Mahi: Zoya. How are you now? I hope you are fine.

Zoya: Yeah. Mahi. I am absolutely fine.

Then all of a sudden Zoya's eyes went to Mahi's dress where a little bit of haldi was there.

Zoya: Mahi, ye haldi...

Mahi got terrified: Huh? Wo shayad tumhe haldi laga ne waqt lag gaya hoga. Main abhi saaf karke ati hoon.

Zoya nodded.

Zoya furrowed her eyebrows and thought: Mahi did not apply haldi on me then how come this..... Did Mahi??? Because of Aditya.... Damnnn. But one thing is good that I can give Aditya an excuse on the first night if he try to come closer to me which he will obviously...

Finally it is the shaadi.

In Hooda House.

Arjun: Bhai, you are looking just fabulous.

Aditya: Hmm. Thnx Chote.

Arjun: What hmm? You are tensed because of Bhabi right?

Aditya: Yeah. I am just eagerly to know who wants to harm Zoya.

Arjun: Don't worry Bhai.. Paa is the country's most famous lawyer. Surely he will find out.

Aditya: Hope so Arjun.

In Siddique House.

Noor: Ma Sha Allah Appi. Aj to ap Qiyamat lag rahi hain.

Wasim: Zoya beta. Ma Sha Allah. Hamari bacchi aj kitni pyaari lag rahi hain.

Roshnaq: Haan. Kisiki nazar na lage.

Wasim: Beta. Aj ap apne sasural jaa rahi hain. Hume maloom hain ki Harsh aur Anjana ji apka pura kheyal rakhenge aur hume iss baat pat koi shak nahi hain. Aur Aditya to hain hi. Beta Aditya appse bohat mohabbat karte hain. Aur humne iska saboot baar baar paye hain. Unhone apna ego side pe rakh kar Apko humse manga. Beta aise ladke heera hote hain.

Roshnaq: Haan. Aur hume pata hain ki app bhi kisi heera se kam nahi hain. Beti. Sasural mein sab ka kheyal rakhna aur khud ka bhi.

Zoya: G Ammi.

Noor: Aur hum milne ayenge na apse.

Wasim: Bilkul.

Zoya in her mind: I still remembered the day when I decided to become lawyer. My only motive was to destroy Aditya Hooda.  Ammi, Abbu ap log tension mat lijiye. Hum apne aap ko aur sabko sambhal lenge.

Roshnaq: Hume pata hain Beta ki ap kar payenge.

Noor: Ma. I guess baarat agayi hain.

Roshnaq: Haan. Chalo Chalo jaldi. Wasim, aiye.

Wasim: G chaliye.

Everyone left except Zoya.

Zoya in her mind: Aditya kis kisam ke insaan hain wo hum jante hain Abbu. Sakshi Aunty ne sahi kaha tha ki Aditya sab logo ko behek dete hain. Jaise hum bhi behek gaye the. Lekin hum aise unke trap mein nahi aane wale.

With that Zoya reminded herself about why she was here and made up her mind.

Zoya came down as the Pandit called her. Everyone's eyes were on the bride and our Aditya was literally drooling over her.

(The marks were hidden with the cloth.)

Zoya sat in the mandap and everything happened as it was planned.

Aditya took the vows very very seriously whereas it was just a "naam Ka Shaadi" for Zoya. One's intention was to fulfill the marriage in every way possible. Whereas the other one's intention was to break the marriage in every way possible. The circumstances were absolutely opposite.

After the wedding ended.

Wasim sadly: Take care of yourself and remember what I have said. Okay?

Zoya nodded.

Noor crying: Appi, ab humara kya Hoga. Hum Aapke Bina kaise rahenge.

Zoya: Arreh ab humari Kohinoor aise royegi to hum kaise jaayenge Haan?

Noor still cried.

Arjun: Noor. Itna to kyun rahi hon. Kich din baad to tum bhi ayogi.

Everyone were surprised and Noor glared at him while Aditya giggled.

Arjun: I mean she will come to see Zoya Bhabi na. He he he.

Wasim went to Aditya and said: Aditya beta. Hum humari ek heera de rahe Hain. Hume pata Hain ki app sambhal lenge. Hume app par Pura bharosa Hain

Wasim to Harsh: Aur Harsh. Agar humari bacchi se koi bhul ho Jaye to unhe maaf Kar dijiye ga.

Harsh: Arreh. Zoya humari beti hi Hain... Aur humare hote applogo ko tension Karne ki koi zaroorat nahi.

In the car.
Aditya was driving.

Aditya: Huh.. Finally.

Zoya: Hmm?

Aditya: Finally we got married right.

Zoya: Hmm.

Aditya: Zoya, I know you are sad. But we will visit Ammi and Abbu often.

Zoya was silent.

In Hooda House. The grihapravesh was done.

Anjana: We will continue the rest of the rituals tomorrow. Now Zoya go and take rest.

Zoya nodded.

Aditya took Zoya to the room.

Aditya: You change here. I will be back soon.

Zoya: Hmm. Okay.

Aditya went to Arjun's room.

Aditya: You found something?

Arjun: Bhai. It is most probably Mahi.

Aditya: Proof?

Arjun: See this. While a little boy was recording video he caught on camera that Mahi took the Haldi bowl very quietly and carefully.

Aditya: I will just fire her. Send me the video.

Arjun: G Bhai.

Meanwhile Zoya changed into a saree and was applying the ointment on her body. While she was trying to apply it on back, Aditya entered the room and saw her struggling to apply the medicine on her back.

Aditya closed the door silently and went to her to help her.

Zoya gasped.

Aditya: Chill it is me. Let me help you with it.

Zoya: No no. I can do it.

Aditya: If you could do it then you have done it till now.

Zoya gave the medicine helplessly as she was trying for almost 10 min but was helpless. So she nervously gave him the medicine. Zoya's hairs were on one side of her shoulder and the dori of her blouse was open. They were in front of the mirror.

Aditya started to apply the medicine on her back with the help of cotton.

Zoya saw with the help of mirror how Aditya was applying the medicine so carefully. His breath were falling on her nape which caused goosebumps to her. After applying the ointment, Aditya pulled the dori and tied it with keeping his eyes on her in mirror. Zoya's heartbeat was racing. Zoya was so lost in his eyes that she did not realise when he was done.

Aditya: Hmm. Done.

Zoya: Thnx.

Aditya: Zoya. Mahi have done it. And I also have video..

Zoya: I know.

Aditya: Then why you did not tell me.

Zoya: Actually I thought I would but I forgot.

Aditya: Zoya. How can you forget these. Accha fine. Tomorrow I will take action against her.

Zoya kept silent.

Aditya: Toh sone Chale?

Zoya: Huh. Haan.

Zoya was paying: Ya Allah. Plz. I hope he doesn't cuddle me or touch me.

Aditya arranged the bed and lied on it while Zoya also lied on the bed. There were respective distance between them.

Aditya out of nowhere: Zoya. Tum khush to ho na?

Zoya: Haan. Hum... Hum kyun khush nahi honge.

Aditya: Pata nahi lekin kabhi kabhi kuch ajeeb khayal ata hain. Kabhi kabhi to lagta hain ki tum mujhse khafa ho.

Zoya: Aisa kuch bhi nahi hain. Ap khamakha hi soch rahe hain.

Aditya: Shayad. Zoya pata hain na ki shaadi ke waqt wo kasme, wo waade kyun kiya jate hain. Kyunki wo ek aisa atoot bhandhan hota hain dono ke beech. Zoya main wada karta hoon ki main wo har wada, har kasme nibhaunga. Main kabhi bhi tum par shak nahi karunga.

Zoya just gave him a reassuring smile.

With that Aditya just light close his eyes whereas Zoya just thought.

Zoya in her mind: Kyun. Kyun Aditya. App kyun hume itna kamzor kar sakte hain. Hum apke ye baat sunkar itna behek jaate hain. Kyun hume aisa lagne lagta hain ki aap Pooja ke saath aisa kuch bhi nahi kar sakte.

Some tear drops fell from her eyes.

Zoya in her mind: Ya Allah. Plz hume Sach saamne laane ke liye madat kijiye. Plz Allah.

The next day.

Zoya woke up seeking Aditya's sleeping face which was as innocent as a child.

She wanted to carress the hair but that thought was stopping her not to.

She quickly woke up with any thought and went to freshen up.

Aditya yawned and saw the most beautiful scenery as soon as he woke up. His Zoya was wearing this dark purple color saree with silver bangles and Jhumkas with open hair. Damnnn that nose pin was making her look more enthralling. The mangalsutra and the sindoor was making him believe that it was not a dream. She was actually his.

Zoya: Oh. You woke up.

Aditya: Zoya, looking so beautiful is not a crime but it can also harm some people. Thoda to rehm khao.

Did Zoya just blush? Shizz. Why was she blushing.

Zoya: Ab ap jaldi uthiye. Neeche saath mein jaana hoga.

Aditya: Bas abhi aya, madam.

He bowed while Zoya giggled.

Zoya in her mind: Ya Allah. Main karu to kya karu. Plz mujhe rasta dikhaiye. Plz..

Her prayers were listened and the way came out.........

Aditya and Zoya went downstairs for breakfast.

Anjana: Arreh. Wo rahe Zoya aur Aditya.

Harsh: Good morning beta.

Zoya: Good morning Ma. Good morning Paa.

Anjana: Good morning beta. Zoya. Aj to tumhari pehli rasoi hain. So you just make one sweet dish.

Zoya: OK Ma.

Zoya and Anjana went to kitchen.

Aditya: Paa. Where is Arjun?

Harsh: He is outside, waiting for a parcel.

Aditya: Parcel?

Harsh nodded and continued to read newspaper.

Aditya went outside and saw Arjun waiting and he spoke.

Aditya: Arjun.

Arjun: G Bhai.

Aditya: I did not know you started giving gifts to Noor.

Aditya teased.

Arjun:Bhaii. Nothing is like that.

Aditya's phone rang.

Aditya: Accha I will be back in a minute.

Arjun nodded.

Aditya entered the house while attending the call.

Aditya in the call: Yeah. Ok. I will sign the papers later.

Arjun: Bhaii. Bhabi.

Zoya in the kitchen.

Zoya: Ma, Arjun is calling may be.

Anjana: Yeah. Let's go and see.

Anjana and Zoya went to the living room.

Aditya: What happened Chote? Why you are sreaming?

Arjun: Arreh let Bhabi come. Oh here is she.

Zoya: Arjun you called?

Arjun: G Bhabi. Bhai. This is for you.

Arjun gave Zoya something which was wrapped with a brown paper.

Zoya: What is this?

Arjun: Your wedding gift. Just open it na.

Zoya opened and saw their wedding picture.

Zoya formed a genuine smile.

Zoya: This is so nice of you Arjun. Thank you so much.

Arjun: You liked it Bhabi?

Zoya: I loved it.

Aditya: Wow Yaar Arjun. Thnx Bhai.

Anjana: How sweet are they looking in the picture. Right Harsh?

Harsh: Indeed.

Aditya: We will keep this in our bedroom's wall. What say Zoya?

Zoya: Yeah. I was thinking of the same thing.
