ZOYA X ADITYA

✨ Adhuraa Alvidaa ✨

Prompt : Set in the days after AdiYa's marriage, Aditya and Zoya decide to go on a Honeymoon so that they can have a good blissful time with each other. But will it be easy for them?

"Hum honeymoon par jaa rahein hain. It's so simple Zoya!" Aditya said in his jolly tone from across the bed fighting all the pillows Zoya was throwing at him out of her childish anger.

"Aap humse kabhi kuch puchna zaroori samjhte hi nahi hain Aditya." She threw another one which missed the spot.

"Ghar me koi khush nhi hai humari shadi se aur aapne ye ek aur.. problem khadi kardi." She said.
But this time Zoya covered her mouth in dread as the pillow directly hit Aditya's face. Straight. He was flushed at the apparent embarassment in front of his dear wife.
And as a result of this, he didn't heed into her untill Zoya agreed for the honeymoon half heartedly. She was conscious about the situation - no one in their families approve of their marriage except Noor and Arjun. And now that Aditya is keen on planning honeymoon, this doesn't go right with Zoya.

"Zoya tum itni upset kyun ho?" Arjun asked her as she was sitting alone in the room.

"Aapko nahi pata Arjun?" She questioned him back.

"Ummm. Honeymoon!?" He adjusted his spectacles and cleared his throat to speak when she interrupted "dekhiye Arjun agar aap hume manane aaye hain to hum pehle hi bata de ke humne haa kardiya hai. Aur agar aap humara mood thik karne aaye to vapis chale jayiye."

"Haa to keh dia hai par khushi khushi nahi. Haina?" He said looking at her.

"Arjun par ye to galat haina. Dekhiye hum bas itna keh rahe hain ki ye samay sahi nahi hai ghumne jaane ke liye." She finally turned to him.

"Dekho Zoya - maine tumhe or bhai ko dekha hai. Aur tumhari lives me kuch bhi asaan nahi raha hai. Ideal situation ki wait karti rahogi to kabhi nahi aaegi. Mauke khud chalkar nahi aate, apna mauka khud banana padta hai. Bhai bhi vahi kar rahe hain. Aur ek baat batao- kya tum bhai ke sath kuch acha time nahi bitana chahti? Tension free ho kar?"

"Chahte hain Arjun.."

"To bas fir.. mujhe lagta hai tumhe jana chahiye." Arjun smiled and stood up from the couch and Zoya nodded.

Zoya and Aditya were so happy in their bubble while Anjana was pissed.

"Mujhe Paris jaana hai." Aditya urged as they both were deciding their honeymoon destination.

"Arre abhi to aap gaye the. Koi discount milta hai kya aapko vahan. Humein nhi jana." Aditya thought that probably Zoya would be the first girl of this world who is denying a romantic place like Paris.

"Gaya hoon par tumhare sath nahi." Aditya whinned like a baby, holding her hand in his.

"Aise kese Aditya?" Zoya asked as she knew her way.
"Hum to humesha aapke sath the na." And Aditya couldn't deny for it was as plain as it could be - she was always with him in his lone time.

Aditya decided to give in her demand and said "Acha chalo batao tumhe kaha jana hai. Hum Mrs Zoya Hooda ki favourite jagah hi jaenge."

"Umm..!" Zoya did put her index finger on her chin cutely and began thinking.

"Switzerland. Humari favourite jagah hai." She said in her excited loud voice, her eyes displaying child-like emotions and her smile ever so wide.
Aditya loved it but at the same time a big part of him got engulfed in past memories.
