Their Accidental Love

CHAPTER 7

ZOYA'S POV:

As soon as kartik left, Kritika offered me a pair of shirt and a comfy trousers and i changed into them.
Soon we both were ready for bed and switching off lights we laid down to sleep.

"Won't you ask me any questions about me" i asked her.

"No, i believe that you are in some kind of dilemma. You can tell me when you are comfortable " I don't know but her words brought me a homely, familiar feeling.

"You know what, I think kindness is in your blood. You guys are just so warm and welcoming" i expressed my thoughts and she giggled, saying thank u.

We talked about some random things and later on slept wishing night to each other.

MORNING:

We both woke up my 9, Kritika left for her class by 9:30, not before guiding me about hostel canteen. I got ready in a pair of clothes Kritika lended me, she was kind enough to offer but i wanted to go shopping immediately and buy some fresh clothes for myself.

After i got ready i went to canteen and ordered a coffee and a sandwich and sat down to eat. People gave me glances but i ignored them and continued to eat, I didn't care of what people think of me I have had enough of it.

By the time i got back to room it was already 11. Kartik Will be here any minute. And just with that, my phone rang.

"Hello kartik"

"Hi zoya! I am waiting for you in the car outside. I am really sorry I can't come in, it'll be really crowded and i don't wanna grab any attention" he said apologetically.

"It's ok, please don't be sorry you have already done enough for me, I'll come outside"

"Zoya seriously yar you need to stop saying that all the time that I have done enough, we are friends at least from my side" kartik said.

"Yeah we are friends kartik from my side also and now will you please cut the call we are just few meters apart, i can literally see your car" I said jokingly, he chuckled and hung up.

I walked over to his car and sat, he started to drive. I must say it was a beautiful day and it felt like a new day, a fresh start. Just thinking about a fresh start and leaving all of it behind, my heart felt peace i never felt before.
I honestly never thought i could ever get out of that hell hole, in one piece to be more specific. But I also feared that what if they try to find me take me back, although i know i am not so important for them but the thought still scared me. What if they send those spooky and creepy men behind me. What if---

"Where are you lost?" Kartik asked abd i snapped out of my thoughts.

"Uh um no nothing"

"Zoya! Are you okay? Is there any problem? Did anyone at hostel troubled you?" He asked literally showering me with questions.

"Relax Mr. Aaryan relax, i am fine, i was just thinking about how my life changed for good and finally i am free, i can live on my own terms." I told him, skipping my "fearful thoughts" part.

"It's the fact zoya, If you are good yourself, then good happens with you,
Sometimes it takes time but eventually things fell into place."

"You are right" i smiled at his words.

"By the way how are you feeling now?"

"I am feeling a lot better, i even walked myself to the canteen which is at quite a distance from room and it did not ached like last night"

"That's good, i really hope there's nothing serious in the x-rays also"
He said hopefully and we continued random chit-chat till we reached the hospital.

We sat across the table and waited patiently as Dr. Mala examined my x-ray.

"Thankfully Zoya there's no fracture just a sprain. And i am sure you must be feeling better today?" She asked taking off her glasses.

"Yes actually i am feeling a lot better than yesterday" I informed her.

"That's nice but zoya beta please keep taking the medicines, i prescribed till i tell you to discontinue"

"Sure Doctor, thank you so much for your assistances" i said sincerely, i can't stop myself from thanking the Tiwari's all the time, well i shouldn't they all have done so much for me and I'll be forever grateful to them.

"Oh God zoya beta you need to stop thanking everyone, just consider us as your family and family members always helps you in tough times" she said squeezing my hand assuringly. I wish everyone think like her.

We walked out of the hospital together and this time kartik had at least tried to hide his identity by wearing a cap, sunglasses and mask.
So we didn't grab so much attention like last night.

"How about we go on a coffee before i drop you off?" Kartik offered suddenly.

"Umm not a bad idea though but don't you have any other important work to do, i thought actors and artists were busy people" i asked him out of genuine curiosity.

"Yea yea, of course i am a very busy man but i thought to give you some company as kittu is busy with her studies and stuff, only if you don't mind going on a coffee with me" he said winking at the end.

"Hahaha, sure, it'll be a honor for me Mr. Aaryan" he laughed and i smiled.
We reached a cafe and surprisingly it was not so crowded. We sat at a table at the far most corner and kartik requested ne to give the orders to waiter.

Our order arrived shortly and kartik kept his head down most of the time, man! Being a public figure is not at all easy. You have to take care of your reputation as well of others, seems like a huge responsibility.

Soon waiter came with the bill and kartik started looking into his wallet.

I quietly placed half of the amount on the table and kartik raised a eyebrow at me.

"We should split the bill"

"Why though?! It was my treat btw"

"Come on, it doesn't really matter and we talk about equality all the time so why not"

"No zoya I don't really like you paying it's our first time we came out somewhere" he was adamant on paying this guy!

"Come on kartik, stay on your word, your monologue, you mentioned splitting the bill" i giggled reminding him of his famous monologue.

"Wha- seriously! Oh God zoya you are unbelievable!" He kept laughing on it and hence we splitted the bill.

Later he dropped me off at hostel i waved him goodbye and walked to room.

I checked my phone, Kritika had left a message saying she have a extra class and she'll be late.

Kayy! So that means I'll be alone for next few hours. I conflicted on wether to go out and socialize or stay in room and chill. I chose the latter and decided to rest for a while. Also i was a bit sleepy due to medicines.
