"They are gone, yeah?
Zoya stood near Aditya behind the curtain, while Aditya looked out through the window and nodded his head.
"Yeah...they are gone."
Zoya took a deep breath out of relief, as she sat down at the sofa, while Aditya asked her, "But may I know the reason why you are scared of police this much?"
Zoya looked at him nervously, while she thought about it. She said with a scared tone, "It's like...Radha Aunty and I had once gone to Delhi when I was 6 years old...that time there was a protest going on there....and we...we got caught there."
Zoya's face went pale as she recalled it, "The police started beating up people to clear the protest, and the police...they beat Radha Aunty too on her head..." Zoya said taking a gulp, "She was...she was bleeding so badly...and we managed to move away from there..."
Aditya listened to it, while Zoya said, "Since then...police...blood...violence...it just petrifies me...it's been years...but since today, the fear I have for these things are just the same!!"

"What the...!!"
Arjun took out the coke bottle from his mouth, and stopped at the entrance of the building, looking at Pooja.
"What??" Pooja asked, munching her chips.
"Zoya is scared of police, and yet you wanted her to befriend Adi Bhai? I mean...The Aditya Hooda??"
"So what Arjun??" Pooja walked inside the building, while Arjun pulled her back.
"Pooja, are you stupid??" Arjun asked, "Bhai was a police officer...that too an Encounter Specialist!! He handles pistols and lathi like how we handle mobile phones...he is a boxing champion too apart from that. And Zoya seems to be scared of the word 'violence' too. Use your senses...she will run away from this apartment if she comes to know who is Aditya Hooda in reality."
"Exactly!! That's why I want her to gel up with Adi. See, they are poles apart...and moreover Zoya has to come out of this conception that all police officers are rude and violent. For that, I want her to know about Aditya Hooda!!"

"About me??" Aditya asked with a smile, while Zoya asked, standing in the kitchen preparing coffee.
"I was a po..." Aditya stopped, while Zoya stopped pouring milk half way, and looked at Aditya.
"Po??" Zoya asked with blinking eyes, while Aditya gave a thought about it.
If he says he was a police officer, he was damn sure, Zoya is going to drop the milk jug right there on the floor and just vanish from that place to never see him thereafter. But why should be bother about it, if she is scared of police. He should just tell the truth.
But something inside him wasn't ready to see Zoya stay away from him. He was glad that he makes her laugh and she accounts him for the optimism in her life now. He didn't want to snatch that from her.
"Uhhh...po...po...postman!" Aditya immediately bit his tongue, abusing himself at the brilliant unmatched option he got out of nowhere.
"Postman??" Zoya asked with a bewildered look. She looked at him and observed that he doesn't look like a postman in any angle.
"Postman means..." Aditya took a break, as his mind ran fast for ideas, "There was a postman...and he worked...in a post office...in Delhi..."
Zoya listened to him keenly, while Aditya explained, "And there was a complex opposite that post office...there was a...security systems...office in that complex...and...and I worked there!!"
