His Salvation

Part Eight

Mahi waited for Aditya to go upstairs, as much as she wanted to tell Zoya of Aditya's crime, she was worried, one because of what he may do and two because Zoya would never trust anyone again, and if in some weird twisted way Aditya loved her, Mahi didn't want to take that away from her. "Is he treating you well"

Zoya glanced up "A little bit too well, he makes me feel" she sighed happily "Like i'm something special, I don't know if this is how normal marriages are meant to be, but I hope so"

Mahi smiled back weakly "I guess what i'm really here for is to apologise, I should have done a lot more for you, and I didn't, and I"

"Its okay Mahi" Zoya reached out her hand, squeezing Mahi's "I don't blame you, what is done is done, maybe one day I will be able to stop being so scared, I just wish that I didn't still love him, it's like" she sniffed "Like i'm a bit empty"

Aditya halted mid walk down the stairs, Zoya still loved Yash. He clenched his fist, Zoya should have never loved him in the first place and as much as he wanted to understand why she still did, he just couldn't. His heart felt broken, he loved her, he wanted her to love him too

Mahi stood up, hugging Zoya "You stay in touch okay, I love you" she kissed her cheek before looking up at Aditya and nodding, then she was gone

"You still love Yash"

Zoya glanced up at him, "I, well, he was the only love I had known and"

"Can you not see what he's done to you, and you're still sitting here in love with him, I don't get it Zoya, I really don't" he pinched the brim of his nose, the muscles in his arms clenching

"I, i'm sorry, I didn't mean to upsett you"

"You can love that thing but you can't love" he stopped "I'm going out, I need some air"

"Please wait, Aditya please" she went to hold his hand but he just shrugged her off leaving her slightly shaken "I'm sorry" she whispered as he slammed the door behind him

Aditya stopped the car on the side of the road, he got out, not caring about the heavy down pour of rain. He slid down the side of the door, his head in his hands. He shouldn't have got so angry, she needed time and he knew that but when it came to her, everything just went out the window

"Oi"

Aditya jumped up "Look man i'm not in the" he was cut off when the man punched him straight in the jaw, knocking him back a little, he stumbled back holding his jaw

Another man jumped from behind him, pulling something over his head as three more men came over with metal batons in their hands. All at once they began to thrash him with them

Aditya's body wracked with pain, he heard the crack in his ribs when a boot shoved into it, before he felt the ache. Then his whole body was hot, like he was on fire, but he still couldn't see, the burning seeped through his skin before he felt cool water run over it. Aditya grabbed onto one baton, pushing it back against one assailant then let out a shout when he felt something sharp hit his shoulder, digging in, he was yanked up and the hood was pulled off as he was shoved into the soil

He let out a chilling scream as he felt his shoulder being pulled back, a large boot pressed into his back, a heavy hand grabbed his head, throwing him into a tree trunk which he slid down with ease

Aditya turned over, blinking through the blood that poured down his head, he held his ribs tightly with his left arm, his right arm dislocated by his side "Who are you" he groaned

The men just laughed, walking away leaving a very injured Aditya all alone on the pathway, he let out one last pained gasp before his eyes rolled over

Zoya glanced down at her phone "Aditya, I"

"Hello, this is the hospital, Aditya Hooda has been in an accident, would you please make your way to the hospital as soon as possible"

"A-a-accident, what do you mean, what happened" she felt her legs wobble beneath her

"I'm afraid we can't disclose that to you over the phone" then the woman cut off

Zoya felt hot tears run down her cheeks, she knew it wouldn't be long until her curse hit Aditya. She didn't have any idea how to get to the hospital, she had no money, maybe Mahi could help. She dialled the number quickly, hoping she would pick up

Zoya jumped out of the car quickly, not caring for the stinging pain in her feet, she reached the reception "Aditya Hooda, where is he"

"Room 471"

Zoya ran down the hallways quickly, her feet hitting the floor with a blistering impact, her long caramel coloured hair hitting her already scratchy cheeks as she reached outside the room she looked up at the three bodyguards stood outside the room. She went to grab the door when she was slammed back into the opposing wall, she bit her tounge at the intense pain that ran down her spine

"You can't go in" the tall man spoke

"He's my husband, please, I have to see if he's okay"

"No"

Zoya ducked under his arm quickly, opening the door she ran inside "Aditya" she reached out for him when a strong arm wrapped around her waist, lifting her from the ground, she was span around

"I told you girl, no" the arm around Zoya's waist was strong, slowly making her lose all her energy, her breaths coming out in shaky pants

Aditya opened his eyes slowly "Put my wife down" he snarled

Zoya screamed as her knees hit the floor, her wrists loose as she dropped them infront of her to save her face smashing into the cool floor. Then she was up, ignoring the pain she rushed to his side then stopped. Why on earth would he want her anywhere near him? If she wouldn't have told him she loved Yash, he never would have stormed out and this never would have happened
