Zoya: Plz don't go. I wanna stay with you.

Aditya: I am not going anywhere Zoya.

Aditya's inner mind: But you have to give her divorce.

Aditya: Yeah I know that. You don't have to remind me.

Zoya: Aditya.

Aditya: Hmm.

Zoya: Promise me that you will never talk with Sanjana or with any other girls.

Aditya was silent cuz he was feeling that may be Zoya is jealous but why?

Aditya: Okay.

Zoya smiled and dozed off soon.

Aditya removed his hands from Zoya's hands and went to be freshened up. After that Aditya also slept beside her not before placing a pillow as a barrier between them.

In the next morning, Zoya woke up with a severe headache.

Zoya: Ya Allah. My head is going to burst.

Zoya saw Aditya entering the room with a glass.

Aditya: Oh. You woke up. Have this lemon juice, you will feel better.

Zoya: Thanks but last night. Urghh. I cannot remember anything.

Aditya: Last night you had drank 5 shots of vodka.

Zoya: Huhh. Only cuz of that Sanjana.

Aditya: Whatever. Just have it.

Zoya drank the juice.

Aditya: And today at 3 pm we have our flight to Mumbai. So get ready and pack your bags and stuffs.

Zoya nodded and went to be freshened up.

At 3 pm, everybody set off for Mumbai.

In the plane.
Arjun: Bhai, Bhabi. Plz don't tell anyone about me and Noor.

Noor: Yeah Appi. You know na if Abbu gets to know he will kill me.

Aditya: I can tell to Abbu may be.

Noor with her puppy eyes: Jijuu. Plz.

Aditya: Thik hain. Ab mere saali saheba itni bol rahi hain to main nahi bataunga.

Arjun: Haan main to apka sautela bhai hoon r8?

Aditya: Obviously no Arjun. You are not my step brother. You are adopted.

Arjun scoffed: Bhaiii.

Everybody giggled by seeing their cute bond.

Zoya: Okay don't worry. We will not tell anyone.

An air hostess were distributing food to everyone.

Air hostess to Sanjana: Mam food is here.

Sanjana: No. Thanks. Actually I am fasting for my lov... I mean friend.

Noor: Hawwww. Don't lie Sanjana. I saw you eating in the morning.

Sanjana: Aa it is the afternoon fasting Noor.

Pooja and Noor broke into laughter.

Zoya, Aditya, Arjun and Yash were giggling.

Sanjana was just pissed off and was looking at the window.

The plane landed and everyone got home safely at night.

Anjana opened the gate.

Anjana: Adi, Zoya, Arjun. You don't know how much I missed you guys.

She hugged all of them.

Zoya: Ma. We also missed you and Paa a lot.

Aditya: Ma. Where is Paa?

Anjana: Cheeku. Your Paa has gone to Delhi for some work.

Aditya: Yeah. For the Khanna Files. Huhh.

Zoya: Is there any problem?

Aditya: No. It is okay. I will go and get fresh.

Arjun: Me too.

Anjana: Zoya, you also go and take rest. Oh Adi. Arjun. Listen.

Aditya and Arjun: Yes Ma.

Anjana: Your Virani Chachu is coming tomorrow from London evening.

Arjun: What? No Ma. Whenever he comes he gives me a thousand lecture of getting married.

Anjana glared at Arjun.

Arjun: Okay fine.

Aditya and Arjun went to their room.

Anjana to Zoya: Virani bhai is very strict Zoya. I know you will manage but be careful. He doesn't like a single mistake. Okay beta?

Zoya nodded.

Anjana: Now go and take some rest.

After the dinner.
In Aditya's room.

Zoya: Virani chachu apka apna chachu hai kya?

Aditya: Haan. He is my elder chachu. And Zoya, don't mind if Sunny I mean Chachu's younger son says something flirty or something like that. He is kinda play boy. And I can't assure that he will also not flirt with his bhabi.

Zoya and Aditya chuckled by the last line.

Aditya: And Kalpesh bhai and Sagarika bhabi will also come. They are married since 3 years. I must say Sagarika bhabi also can't tolerate his father in law.

Zoya: Why? Even when Ma told that they were coming you and Arjun were also upset.

Aditya: Cuz. Chachu is very irritating. I mean like in this generation, who wear veil in front of elders. Chachu always makes Sagarika bhabi wear veil.

Zoya: Ohh. But what about your Chachi?

Aditya: She passed away 10 years ago cuz of a cancer.

Zoya: Oh I am sorry to hear that.

Aditya: Hmm. It is okay. It is 10. I am going to sleep now.

Zoya: Yeah. Me too.

After that both dozed off.

In the morning, everyone went to their respective works.

Harsh also returned home from some work in Delhi.

In the evening, the Viranis came and the Aditya and Harsh went to receive them from the airport.

Anjana and Zoya were preparing everything.

Anjana: Zoya have you prepare the snacks?

Zoya: Yes ma. All is done and don't worry.

Anjana: Hmm.

The calling bell rang.

Anjana and Zoya went to the gate and opened the door.

Anjana and Zoya greeted them.

Virani: So, ye hai Adi ki biwi.

Zoya took blessings from him.

Harsh: Bhaii. You sit. Anju, bring the snacks and all.

Anjana nodded and signed Zoya to come with her. They brought the snacks and were talking.

Aditya: So, Kalpesh bhai, Sunny kya hal chaal?

Sunny: Adi Bhai. I am like that always you know na. Handsome and all girls drool over me as always.

Aditya: You are telling me these.

Sunny: Ahan. You did not understand na. Now you are married so you are not even allowed to look at any other girl.

Aditya: Huh. Whatever. Kalpesh Bhai, how is your work going in London?

Kalpesh: All is good.

Virani: Harsh, you were saying about some Khanna Industries.

Harsh: Yeah Bhai. They are just messing up everything.

Virani: So cancel it.

Harsh: No bhai. There is already a contract that without their permission we cannot cancel the contract.

Virani: Hmm. Where is Arjun BTW.

Aditya: Arjun will come later. He has some work that is why  he is late.

Virani: Oh. Okay. So you guys talk, I will just get fresh and will take some rest.

As soon as Virani left, Sagarika quickly removed the veil.

Sagarika: Huh. Finally. Harsh Chachu, Anjana Chachi, how are you?

All greeted her.

Sagarika: Zoya bohat e khoobsurat hain. Sach mein. Adi, I am telling you Zoya is really perfect for you.

Aditya and Zoya just passed a smile.

Anjana: I know right. That is why I chose Zoya for Adi.

Sunny: Yeah. Zoya bhabi. I am Sunny. Your devar right?

Zoya: Yeah. I heard a lot about you from Aditya.

Sunny: Aaa okay. Accha. Adi bhai ne sab bata hi diya. Khear. (Anyways). I will also may be get someone like you.

Kalpesh: Sunny ke bacche. Bhabi hai tera.

And everyone was giggling and chit chatting.

And the chat went on.

After the dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms.

In Aditya's room.

Aditya: Zoya, I was thinking that after Virani Chachu and all others will go, then we will work out on our divorce. Is that okay?

Zoya skipped a heartbeat.
Zoya: Aa okay.

With that Zoya lied down on the bed and dozed off as well as Aditya also dozed off.

Two days passed.
The Viranis and the Hoodas were really enjoying their quality time but that evening Arjun came home at the door being restless.

Arjun: Ma, Bhabhi.

Zoya: Arjun, what happened?

Arjun: Bhai.

Anjana: Adi. Arjun say. What happened?

Arjun: Bhai ka accident ho gaya hain?

Zoya quietly: Kya?

Anjana's eyes was now fulfill with tears while Zoya was just blank and startled.

Sagarika quickly hold Anjana as Anjana became senseless.

Arjun: Bhabi. Calm down.

Zoya's trances broke and tears were now found it way.

Zoya: Aditya. I want to go to him. Arjun plz take me to Aditya. Plz.

Sagarika: Kalpesh, call doctor. Anjana Chachi got senseless.

Zoya ran to Anjana.
Zoya: Water. Someone plz give water.

Sunny brought water.

Zoya sprinkled some water to Anjana. Anjana's eyes were flickering.

Zoya with a crack voice: Sagarika Bhabi. App log yaha Ma ka kheyal rakhiye hum aur Arjun hospital jaa rahe hain.

Kalpesh: I am also going.

Zoya nodded and they set off for the hospital.

Zoya was continuously crying.

Kalpesh: Zoya. Everything will be fine. Don't cry beta.

Zoya wiped her tears but again the tears fall down.

Zoya in her mind: Ya Allah plz ap plz HUMARE Aditya ko thik kar dijiye. Plz Allah. Hum wada kar te hain ki hum kabhi Aditya ke saath jhagra nahi karenge. Plz. Hum kabhi unse nahi ladenge. Wo Jo chahenge hum wahi karenge. Plz Allah ap HUMARE Aditya ko thik kar dijiye. Plz.

They all reached the hospital. Harsh and Virani were also there.

Zoya ran to Harsh: Papa. Aditya kaise hain? Aditya ko kuch hoga to nahi na.

Harsh: Zoya beta. Calm down. Doctor abhi tak kuch bataya nahi hain.

Zoya saw Aditya lying with the oxygen mask and senseless.

Zoya went to the prayer room and took the mat and started praying Namaz.

On the other hand, Arjun called Noor to the hospital as Wassim and Roshnaq were out of the town for some work. Harsh told Arjun to tell Noor not to tell her parents cuz they will also be very tensed there.

Noor came to the hospital.

Noor in a very tensed voice: Arjun. Jiju? How is Jiju?

Arjun in a cracked voice as he was also crying for a long time: The doctor did not say anything. Just hope for the best.

Noor: Don't worry. But where is Appi?

Arjun: She is in the prayer room.

The doctor came and all ran to him except Zoya who was praying.

Doctor: WO to ab logo ke Dua ne patient ko baccha Liya. Nahi to hum se hope hi chod di thi. But no need to worry now. The patient is out of danger.

All breathed out a relieved breath and thank to God.

Virani: Arjun, inform Zoya.

Arjun: G chachu.

Arjun and Noor went to the prayer room to witness a crying Zoya who was continuously praying.

Noor went to her.

Noor: Appi.

Zoya opened her eyes and Saw Arjun and Noor.

Zoya: Noor. Arjun. Aditya. HUMARE Aditya kaise hain?

Noor: Appi don't worry. Jiju is out of danger now.

Zoya smiled and thanked to Allah for saving her Aditya.

Zoya ran to the Aditya's cabin.

Virani: Sach mein hi Aditya lucky hain ki Zoya jaisi patni mila use.

Zoya: WO. Ma ko inform karna hoga.

Arjun: Don't worry Bhabi. I have already informed her. Now she is a bit relieved and gained consciousness.

After two hours Aditya opened his eyes.

Nurse: Only one can meet at a time. He gained sense now.

Harsh: Zoya, you should go first.

Zoya: Aaa main?

Virani: Haan Zoya. It is your right to go first.

Harsh: Haan.

Zoya stepped in Aditya's room.

Aditya quietly: Zoya.

He noticed her face was dull, and there were tear marks on her face. Her eyes were puffy and red which means she cried for a very long time. She was not the Zoya whom he used to see everyday.

Zoya: Aditya, ab app kaise hain?

Aditya: Thik hoon.

Aditya: Tum royi ho kya?

Zoya: Nahi. Hum kyun roye? Hume thodi fark padta hai ki app haha bhi jaye.

Aditya: Fark padta hai kya?

Zoya: Ma, Papa, Arjun unlogo to padta hai na? Ap kam se kam un logo ke khatir to. Lekin apka accident kaise?

Aditya: WO while I was driving, a truck hit my car and then I bacame unconscious.

Zoya: Lekin ajanak se.

Aditya: Areh it was an accident na.

Zoya: Hmm. You take rest now. I will go now.

While Zoya was about to go, Aditya hold her hands.

Zoya gave a questioning look.

Aditya: Thank you.

Zoya: Kis liye?

Aditya: WO nurse ne mujhe bataya how you continuously prayed for me.

Zoya just shifted her eyes and Aditya also left her hands. Zoya left the room. Then everyone came and met to him.
