"I won't marry anyone", shouted Zoya at the top of her lungs. Her mother and sister closed their ears with their hands. "Zoya, do you think that you have the choice?" asked her Mother while she simply scoffed in response.
"Ammi, you can leave. I'll make Appi understand", said Noor and Zoya glared at her. Roshnaq nodded and left the room. Noor asked Zoya to come down as she has been standing on the bed since Roshnaq came in the room.
Zoya got down and sat on the bed. "Appi, why are you getting angry?" asked Noor. "They are making plans for my wedding, that too with someone I don't even know. And if I agree for this, what about Yash? You know that we have been in a relationship for more than two years", said Zoya.
"Appi, I have a plan. When that guy comes to meet you, you have to simply say that you are in a relationship with someone else. Who would want to marry a girl who already loves someone?" said Noor.
Zoya thought about it. Noor was indeed right. Who would want to marry someone who is already in love with someone else?
She nodded and said, "I'll do it. When he will reject me in front of Abbu, I'll act to stay upset for a few days. Abbu won't be able to see me in that condition and then he will ask me to marry the guy I like."
She was quite proud of her idea, but little did she know that her idea wasn't going to work. Reason? She would come to know the reason later.

Zoya wore a simple kurti as she wasn't interested in impressing anyone. She went downstairs with Noor when Roshnaq asked her to do so.
She was asked to sit beside Waseem. She was barely able to control her yawns when she heard their talks. It was all about business.
She heard Roshnaq saying, "Zoya beta, you and Aditya can go to your room to have a nice talk. You both should know each other well before getting married."
"As if our incompatibility would change your decision", muttered Zoya under her breath. Waseem patted her and she stood up and Aditya followed her shortly.
***
Zoya told Aditya to sit on the couch of her room and she sat on the bed. Aditya was calmly sipping his coffee while Zoya was trying to analyse him. It seemed like it had no effect on him even though he saw Zoya looking at him.
"Are you sure that you want to marry me?" asked Zoya and Aditya simply hummed. "Hmm? What is hmm? What should I do with it?" asked Zoya, irritated by his reply.
