The door bell rang. Waseem rushed to open the door,

"It has to be them," muttering to himself.

As he opened the door Zoya and Aanya stood their smiling at him..

"Papa its already late night.. why you're still awake.?" She asked to him in a soft tone.

"I was waiting for you and my little angel, Zoya....," as he lifted Anaya, and placed her in his arms.

"How can I sleep without seeing my angel's face ...."hmmmm,?!!" He started to cuddle her.

"Grandpa I'm going to bath, let me down,"

"Oh... my angel wants to bath, huh.." he exclaimed at her imitating her tone.

"Yea, look I'm so shabby and dirt,"

"But still you're looking cute baby,"

Aanya made a pout.

Waseem laughed.

"Go get yourself fresh up ..," as he let go off her down.

"Wait Aanya, Mummy will come with you," Zoya stopped her.

"No mummy, I will bath on my own," as she ran inside.

Zoya sighed.

"Leave her Zoya, she isn't kid anymore she needs to be independent like you, you can't pamper her every single time.," he caressed her.

She nodded.

"Freshen yourself and eat your dinner before it turns cold.. I'm going to my bed,"

"Yea Papa,.., good night,"

"Good Night Zoya,"

She walked towards her room as he called her again.

"Zoya,..."

She turned.

"Did Akshay say anything.,"

Zoya seemed clueless.

She shook her head.

"No Papa.. why is something wrong??,"

"No no nothing, Zoya," he yawned., "just asked," he smiled at her and locked himself behind the door leaving her bewildered.

Walking into her room, Zoya searched her cupboard for her changeover costume, a file which was placed in between fell down.

She took it and checked the file.

It was her divorce papers. She smirked. She took the papers and went to the balcony to get some fresh air. Her thoughts were filled with the perky eyes of Advay whom she saw at the carnival. It reminded her of someone so close to her. Those stares he left her just resembled the man whom she thought was to be with her in life for eternal.

Flashbacks fell through in line..

"Zoya... don't do this.., it will haunt you forever..," Aditya shouted..

"You didn't give me a choice Aditya," she took the pen as she shouted back.

"Zoya please I beg you,... these people brainwashed you... don't let them win.. please Zoya.. and .... there is no way of coming back...."

"It's over Aditya... Everything between us is damn over forever.," she threw the pen away looked at him angrily.. she had no idea when that anger turned into her tears, she sat down on the floor.
