come on, I can’t be the only one who has never heard prateek kuhad k ganne-  

Knock, knock, knock. There it was again. Did he not understand that she did not want to see him? Why didn't he just go away. Especially after what had happened at ZoSh. Jerk. She ignored the incessant knocking and focused on painting her nails. "Let him be, she thought, "thodi der mein khud hi chale jaayenge. She huffed in annoyance and continued ignoring him. She wouldn't open the door, no matter what. His hand was tired now. He had been knocking continuously for the past 1 hour, and she hadn't even approached the door, let alone opened it. Noor came and offered him some water, which he took gratefully. Half an hour later, he was reduced to sitting on the floor outside her door. She had even refused to listen to Madhu, who had tried talking her into coming out of the room, telling her that she'd come out once Aditya went away. But Aditya Hooda was not one to give up. He would sit right there outside her door till she came out. If she was stubborn, he was one step further.   "beta, neeche aake khaana khaalo, 10 baj rahe hain raat ke, tumne shaam se kuch nahi khaaya hoga, Madhu tried to get Adi to move from the door. Maybe Zoya too would come out? Aditya: "Aunty, main yahan se nahi hilne vala, jab tak Zoya darwaaza nahi kholti. Aur vaise bhi, aapki beti bahut zyaada ziddi ho rahi hai, vo bhi faaltu mein. Aapko Noor ne bataaya na, kya hua. Vo to biased point of view nahi tha. Aap batayiye, kaun sahi tha? Main ya vo? Madhu: "beta, tumne kuch galat nahi kiya, lekin--- Aditya: "exactly aunty! Maine kuch galat nahi kiya, phir bhi aapki ye beti. ZOYA! Darwaaza kholo varna main todh dunga! Aditya banged the door in frustration, and Noor came running. Noor: "Arre Adi shant ho jaayein. Aapko lag jaayegi. Aditya: "Arre yaar tum apni behen ko kuch samjhao Noor. Tumne bhi to dekha na chal kya raha tha vahan. Mujhe thank you bolne ki jagah, ke maine isko bachaaya, ye mujhse hi ladh ke baithi hai. Akkal naam ki cheez to hai hi nahi iss ladki mein. Pata nahi Waseem Uncle aur Roshana Aunty kaise jhelte the isse. By now Zoya had had enough. How dare he? It was all her fault?! He didn't even know what was going on there! His habit of assuming and over-reacting on every miniscule thing almost led to a mishap. And here he was, unconcerned and unaware of what actually had transpired. Hold on a second, I'm sure all of you are confused as though what was going on. So, here's a little back-story to this situation. Zoya, Aditya, Noor and Madhu are currently in Zoya's flat in Mumbai. After the whole court-fiasco, Waseem and Roshana had gone back to their beautiful Home, while Noor and Zoya had stayed back. While the four of them, i.e. Zoya, Noor, Madhu and Mahi had stayed together in that house, Noor and Zoya had avoided and ignored Mahi, courtesy of the horrible things she had done against them, especially Zoya. Mahi too, had unfortunately been unable to see the error of her ways and being under Zoya in the office as well as having to live in the house that was owned by Zoya, Mahi had started getting irritated. Madhu too, now well aware of the way Mahi had manipulated her against Zoya, grew distant from her, showering her love on Zoya and Noor instead. This irked Mahi and her resentment towards Zoya came back full force. She had tried once again to get rid of Zoya by helping Rajveer escape and avoid the police. Rajveer had formulated a sinister plan, which Mahi had been aware of, which had led to Zoya ending up in the hospital. Aditya had hunted down Rajveer, blasting with anger, and handed him over to the police, but not before beating the man black and blue. Rajveer was behind the bars, but there was no evidence against Mahi that incriminated her. Madhu had punished her in her own way, by throwing her out of the house and breaking all ties with Mahi. Where she was now, no one knew, and no one cared. Madhu sometimes felt upset that both of her kids had disgraced her, but Noor and Zoya both supported and cared for her, which made her thank the lord for being lucky enough to have the daughter-like-girls with her. So it was Madhu, Noor and Zoya living in the flat, with the frequent visitors the Hooda brothers, dropping in any time to check on their (unofficial) girls- "they were 3 women living alone, they had to keep dropping by to show the world that there were people who kept an eye, was both the brothers' logic (READ: excuse)- or to manaofy them (in the case of Adi and Zoya), which brings us to this situation here. Aditya, who was leaning against the door, flew backwards as the door opened, falling flat on his back, and staring up straight into the eyes of Zoya who stood there with a dangerous expression on her face. The shock had rid Adi of his anger and now that he looked at Zoya, he swallowed hard. Shit. He was done for. Madhu and Noor stood there with their hands cupping their mouths, before snapping into reality and helping him up. He stood up, dusted himself and turned to look at Zoya with a determined expression on his face. Aditya: Darwaaza kyu nahi khol rahi thi tum? Zoya: ... Aditya: Aise ghoor ghoor ke kya dekh rahi ho? Tumhe mujhe sorry aur thank you bolna chahiye, aur tum mujhe hi attitude dikha rahi ho? Zoya: hum aapko sorry bolein? Aur kisliye bolein hum? Aapne humaari bani banayi deal almost bigaad di. Aap jaante hain kitna bada contract tha vo? Sirf financially nahi, but jis type ka event tha usse humaare contacts build hote. Aur aapne bina kuch soche samjhe itna bada tamaasha khada kar diya. Aditya: Tamaasha? Zoya tumhe pata hai vo tumhaare saath flirt kar raha tha. Aur healthy wala bhi nahi, thode zyaada upar vale level ka. Zoya: To kya Aditya? Humein pata hai vo kya kar rahe the. Business mein thoda bahut to chalta hai. Aur humein yakeen nahi ho raha ke ye humein AAPKO samjhaana padh raha hai. Aditya: Arre... Par... matlab... ZOYA?! Zoya: Kya Zoya? Aditya: vo tumhe dinner ke liye pooch raha tha, as a date! Business ke liye nahi. Aur tum haan bol rhi thi. Ye to pata nahi chala tumhe, haina?! Zoya: Humein pata tha Aditya, ke vo humein date pe pooch rahe hain. Aapko kyu lagta hai ke humaare paas dimaag nahi hai?! Ab hum pehle vaali nadaan Zoya nahi hai Aditya. Aap humaari babysitting band kar dijiye. Aditya: So you mean to say, tum uske saath Date par jaane vali thi? Zoya: Jee Haan. Vaise bhi Raunak ek bahut ache insaan hain, funny hain, handsome hain, charismatic hain, unke saath date pe jaane mein kya harz hai? Shayad hum dono ko maza aaye aur hum actually date bhi karne lagein. Ye humaari life hai, aapko isse kya? Aditya: tum meri dost ho. mujhe tumhari fikr hai. Lekin tumhe nahi samajh aayega ye? Zoya: aap bhi humaare dost hain. Aur humein Khushi hai k aapko humaari fikr hai, lekin ye humaara faisla hai ke hum kisse date karein aur kise nahi. Vaise hum to aapko kabhi kisi baat ke liye mana nahi karte? Last week aap bhi to ex-client Miss Sharma ke saath date pe gaye the. Usne to contract bhi nahi diya. Atleast Raunak humaare kaam to aa rahe hain? Aditya: tum jaanti kitna ho uss Raunak ko? Ek baar mili ho. tumhe pata hai pehli mulaqaat mein hi date pe poochne vale ladke kis type ke hote hain? Zoya: Confident type ke. Aditya ab please. Humein aapse ladhne mein koi interest nahi hai. Aap ko kya problem hai? Hum apna khayal khud rakh sakte hain, agar aap bhool gaye hon to. Yaad hai vo Ajay? Kya haal kiya tha humne uska? Uske baad vo ZoSh ke aas paas bhi nazar nahi aaya! Aditya: haan haan yaad hai. Aur agar tumhaara Raunak itna hi acha hai to mere meeting se jaane tak ka intazaar kyu kiya usne? Aur Ajay ko bhagaa diya iska matlab ye nahi ke tum Jhaasi Ki Raani ho. Aditya smirked as he said this. Now, Zoya had done a decent job of chasing that guy away, but not enough to keep him away. Let's just say, it was Aditya Hooda who had taken care of that little detail. But Zoya didn't need to know that. All this while, Madhu and Noor had stood at the side, looking from Adi to Zoya, and back again as though they were watching a tennis match. Sighing at the two kids, they looked back towards each other, and shook their heads in a "inka-kya-hoga manner. Noor: Aunty, aapko lagta hai ke inko kabhi ehsaas hoga? Madhu: Arre Noor, in dono ko apni apni feelings ka ehsaas ho chuka hai, lekin doosre ke nhi. Apne pyaar mein iss kadar khoye hain k eek doosre ki aankhein nahi padh paa rahe. Zoya ko nahi lagta ke Adi usse pyaar karta hai, ya kabhi karega, aur main daawe se keh sakti hoon ke Adi ko bhi yahi lagta hai. Lekin vo kehte hain na, Ishq aur Mushq chupaaye nahi chupte. Tabhi to dekho, pichle hafte Adi ko uss ladki ke saath dekh ke Zoya kitni pareshaan ho gayi thi. Aur aaj Adi ne uss Raunak ko daraa ke bhagaa diya. Dosti ka naqaab pehen ke pyaar ka haq jataa rahe hain ek doosre pe, lekin naqaab utaarenge nahi. Chalo, hum dinner karte hain. inka to roz ka hai. Madhu and Noor made their way downstairs, leaving Adi and Zoya alone. Adi was still adamant that Raunak was a bad guy, and Zoya should call him up and refuse the date offer. Actually, he had demanded the number of the guy. Aditya: Tum uska number do, usse main baat karunga. Date to kya, tumhaara number bhi nahi jaana chahiye uske paas. Zoya: uska number to kya, hum kuch nahi dene vale aapko. Aur hum kal date par jaa rahe hain. aapko jo karna hai aap kar lein. Aditya: Zoya tum Zoya: Bas Aditya! Bahut hua. Ab aap jaayein. Bahut raat ho chuki hai. With that, Zoya started pushing Adi towards the main door of the flat, him resisting all the way. Aditya: Zoya! Zoya dekho Zoya: Good night Aditya. Kal office mein milenge. Aditya: Aunty!!! Dekho ye kya kar rahi hai. Madhu: Arre Zoya beta usse khaana to khaane do. Zoya: Maa itne bade ghar ke bete hain ye. Inke ghar pe bhi khaana hoga. (pushing him out of the house) Bye Mr Hooda. Good night. Aditya: Tum sun lo meri ye baat Zoya And with that, Zoya slammed the door in Adi's face. She turned around and smirked in satisfaction. Right that instant, Noor's phone rang, indicating an incoming call. She answered it and turned the screen towards Zoya. It was Aditya on a video call, right outside their door. Aditya: Tum uss chimpanzee ke saath date par nahi jaogi. And that is final. Without waiting for her to reply, he disconnected the call and made his way towards the lift. Glaring at the door of Zoya's flat until the doors shut, Adi made his way downstairs and went home. Tomorrow would be a crucial day. Noor: Appi kyu sataa rahi hain bichaare ko. Zoya: huh? Kya keh rahi hain aap Noor? Ek to ye Aditya ka behaviour humein samajh nahi aata, aur aaj aap bhi paheliyon mein baat kar rahi hain? Noor: Appi, Aditya ka behaviour bilkul ajeeb nahi hai. Ab jis ladki se vo mohabbat karte hain, vo kisi aur ke saath date pe jaye, to kisi ka bhi dimaag ghoom jaayega. Zoya: kya baqwaas kar rahi hain aap Noor. Soch to lijiye bolne se pehle. Aditya humse mohabbat nahi karte. Noor: Vaise appi, aapne ye kaha ke Aditya aapse mohabbat nahi karte. To aap karti hain kya? Zoya: usse kya farak padhta hai Noor Noor (excited): Ya Allah! Appi aapne inkaar nahi kiya. Matlab aap Aditya se mohabbat karti hain? Zoya: iss baat ka zikr karne se koi fayeda nahi hai Noor. Vo nahi karte to hum karein ya na karein, kya farak padhta hai? Madhu: Nahi Zoya, vo tumse bahut pyaar karta hai. Uski aankhon mein dekha maine. Aur meri Nazari ss maamle mein bahut pakki hai. Uski aankhein jo keh jaati hain, vo koi nahi samajh paata. Tum apne pyaar ko chupaane ke liye usse nazrein churaati ho, aur iss chakkar mein uski aankhon ka pyaar bhi nahi padh paati. Kisi din dekhna. Tumhe pata chal jayega main kya keh rahi hoon. The three silently finished their dinner, with Zoya lost in her world, mulling over Madhu's words. Could she be right? Could Aditya also love her? Could she dare to dream the unimaginable? Plagued with all these thoughts, Zoya found it very difficult to fall asleep. Tossing and turning in her bed the entire night, Zoya kept wondering about what Madhu had said. Getting irritated at the lack of sleep, and the lack of answers, Zoya came to one conclusion. There was only 1 person who could answer her questions. The person who was directly involved in her dilemma. Aditya Hooda. Zoya woke up pretty early, keeping in mind the horrendous hour she had finally gone to sleep at. She would have to corner Adi today. Ask him all of the questions her mind had come up with last night. But how? She couldn't directly go up to him and tell him or ask him anything. He would come to know! And if Noor and Madhu were wrong, she would not only lose the man who had become extremely dear to her, but also lose he best friend. What would she do!? Zoya got ready and left for Zosh. Climbing in the as unusually crowded lift, Zoya went towards the back. Zosh was pretty high level in the building. Majority of the people would get off at intermediate levels. Her face lit up as she saw Aditya on his phone at the very corner. She went and stood in front of him but he was engrossed in his phone and didn't realise. Zoya: Good Morning Mr Hooda. Aditya looked up from the screen, to find himself into a corner and Zoya standing right in front of him. He smiled at her and wished her. The lift stopped, and some people got off, while more got on, making everyone scoot closer to each other. Zoya felt a push at her back and took a step closer to Adi. He looked up and finding her so close to him made his brain stop working, and his body froze. All he could see was her brown orbs. She stared right back into his eyes, noticing how enchanted he appeared. Maybe Noor was right? Another shove from the back made her almost fall on top of Adi, when she shot her hands out, bracing herself against the walls of the elevator. So now, Adi was plastered into the corner of the elevator, with Zoya's arms caging him. She had a small smirk on her lips, as her eyes smouldered, looking at Adi with an intensity that made him squirm. He was trying so hard to control himself, but if Zoya kept looking at him the same way, he would lose it and pull her against him. That would not be well now, would it? Aditya had always known that Zoya Siddiqui was a beautiful woman. He had never denied it. She was beautiful, attractive and not just externally, but internally as well, with a pure heart. When the feelings of friendship had turned into more, even he hadn't realised. She was an imperative part of his life now and would always be. He couldn't lose her. Not now, not ever. Life was great the way it was and messing with it would just create complications. So, he'd concluded that they'd always be friends. And nothing more. But just because he didn't make a move, does not mean others didn't. Possessive and Protective by nature, Aditya had dealt with every man that had dared to look at her, without even her knowledge, apart from two- Ajay and Raunak. She had dealt with Ajay, followed by Adi's special serving, but Raunak? For once, she had actually considered a guy. And that drove Aditya absolutely nuts! He was fully prepared not to let her out of his sight today. He would keep her busy in work, and knowing her, she will never leave for a date if there is any work pending. Problem solved, for now. However, this problem Adi was not prepared for. Keeping her away from other men, okay. But keeping her away from himself? When she was this close? Well... Thankfully for Adi, the elevator doors opened, and people stepped out. It was one floor lower than Zosh, so everyone apart from the two owners of the event management company stepped out, making ample of space in the elevator. Smirking, still looking at Aditya and taking her sweet time, Zoya stepped back, and Adi sighed with relief. Zoya, by now, had got her answers. Now to make him confess. Zoya: Hum shaam ko 7 baje niklenge. Raunak humein pick karne aa rahe hain. Aditya: tum nahi jaa sakti Zoya: Kyu? Aura ap kaun hote hain ye decide karne vale? Aditya: iss company ka co-owner.tum bhool rahi ho 3 din mein Mahatre's ka event hai. Uski preparation kaun karega? Zoya: Akanksha ko keh dijiye. Vo shuru se ye case humaare sath sambhaal rahi hai. Kar legi manage. Aditya: arre Akanksha kyu karegi? Zoya: Kyu nahi karegi? Experienced hai, talented hai, aur humaare sabse puraane employees mein se ek hai. Aditya: lekin co-owner nahi hai. Mr Mahatre ke saath meeting hai aaj shaam ko. Unko humse milna hai. Zoya: correction, hum mein se kisi ek se. aap mil lijiyega na. Aditya: nahi. Main nahi mil sakta. Mujhe kaam hai. Zoya: Acha? Kya kaam hai aapko? Aditya: Maa ki appointment. Zoya: Kal thi, Wednesday ko. Aditya: Arre sorry sorry, Arjun ka Zoya: Hearing hai. Aditya: Paa Zoya: ke saath. Sakshi Aunty ki party hai, vo Mahabaleshwar gayi hain.  Aap bhool gaye hain ke aapke bhai humaare bhi bahut ache dost hain? Aditya, games khelna band kijiye. Hum jaante hain aap humein Raunak ke saath jaane se rokna chahte hain. its not going to work. Saying this, she left towards her office, leaving a visibly irritated Adi behind. And the fruit of her mischief was born by the entire office for the rest of the day, with an angry Adi barking over everyone's heads. As evening drew closer, Adi's anxiety grew too. What was going on? What was he going to do now? He wandered around the office, lost in thought. Almost everyone had left by now, save a few employees here and there. He was about to walk past Zoya's office when he saw something that made him stop dead in his tracks. Raunak stood in Zoya's office, clasped in a tight embrace with Zoya. They separated and stared deep into each other's eyes, as his hands came up to cup her cheek. She leaned her head slightly into his palms and closed her eyes, relishing the feeling. Adi stood there rooted to the spot, a mantra of No, no, no please no' playing in his head. He saw her open her eyes, looking into Raunak's and as if in slow motion, Raunak's lips slanted and landed on to hers. Rage and pain filled Aditya as he saw the love of his life and that... that... that man in a liplock. A wish to destroy something filled him, and he clamped his hands into a fist, brought it up and smashed it through the glass wall, the glass shattering and breaking everywhere. gasp He woke up with a start, standing up from his chair. He looked around his office, puzzled, and then looked at his hand. It was fine. But... Wait... could it be a dream? Adi shook his head, trying to clear it. It had felt so real though! He got up from his chair in a hurry, literally running through the hall, skidding in front of her office. He yanked the door open and went in. There she stood, clad in a red gown style dress, reaching the floor, one hand on her ear where she was currently putting in a golden Jhumka. She was alone. No Raunak. And he'd be damned if he gave a chance to him! Zoya looked up in surprise at the sudden intrusion, and took in Aditya's dishevelled state. Zoya: Aditya, aap theek hain? Without waiting for anything, he crossed the room in 3 strides, stopping right in front of her. She looked at him with wide eyes, before being pulled into his arms, his lips landing square on hers. And time stopped. Eyes still wide in shock, Zoya stood there for a solid 10 seconds, before realising what was going on and responding to Aditya's kiss. He, unaware of her bewildered expression, due to his eyes being closed, sucked her bottom lip into his mouth. His arms snaked around her waist, pulling her closer still. Once she regained control of her body, her arms came up to wrap around his neck, as she closed her eyes and allowed herself to feel, both giving in to what their hearts had longed for since a long time. Lack of oxygen caused them to break apart, but they held each other close, leaning their foreheads together. Panting heavily, both Adi and Zoya revelled in the post-kiss bliss, looking at each other with their love shining in full force in their eyes. Aditya: phone karo usse, aur cancel karo. Tum kahin nahi jaa rahi ho. Zoya: humein pata hai. Humne dopehar ko hi unhe bol diya tha. Magar humne jo kaha so kaha. Aap humein kyu order de rahe hain? achaanak se kya ho gaya aapko Janaab Aditya Hooda? Aditya: realisation. Zoya: Acha? Kaisa realisation? Aditya: Yahi ke tumhe mere ilaava na koi jhel sakta hai, aur na main kisi ko try karne doonga. Tum meri ho Miss Zoya Siddiqui. Aur ab tum zindagi mein sirf ek insaan ko date karogi aur ussi se shaadi karogi. Don't try to fight me on this Zoya. Bahut buri tarah haarogi. I love you Zoya Siddiqui. And tumhaari zindagi ki subha, shaam aur raunak, sab main hoon. Bolo Manzoor hai? Zoya: Janaab Aditya Hooda, aap... humein Qubool hain. MissRight
