Coffee, Lift, and insecurities!

Around 7 in morning Zoya's phone rang and she woke up. Who can call her at this time?

She walks towards her phone and picks it up.

Z - "Hello."

N - "Appi. Hume job mil gayi. Wo bhi bahut achhi company me."

Z - (In sleepy voice) Who is this?

N - "Who is this? Appi Noor ko bhul bhi gaye aap?"

Z - (Coming to her senses) Noor. Congratulations. Hume bahut achha laga aapki avaz sunke? Ammi kaise hai? and Abbu? (Zoya asks worriedly)

N - "sab theek hai. apko yaad krte hai dono. but abhi bhi zidd nahi chhodte. Wo chhodo. Mujhe puchhiye to sahi ke kaha job lagi hai?"

Z - "Okay okay, Nahi puchhugi to batayege nahi kya? Chalo batao kaha mili?"

N - "Mumbai... Hum next week aa rahe hai.. Aapse milege."

Z - "Sach keh rahe hai aap? Hum bahut khush hai. Aur ek baat bata dete hai hum, aap humare sath rahege."

N - "Ha Appi, ye bhi koi puchhne ki baat hai? Hum aapko call krte hai badme. Bye Appi. Love you."

Z - "Love you too. Come soon" Zoya cuts the phone with a broad smile on her lips and runs towards Yash to tell him the good news.

Aditya was coming back from the airport in the evening. He stopped at a coffee shop as he remembers how Zoya made coffee for him and talked to him. Never ever someone has done anything for him from a long time without even knowing him. Arjun did, but he was more afraid of Aditya's unpredictable nature. He thinks that he should take some for her as thank you for agreeing to help him in the new project. 

He walks in to order two coffees to take with him. He was just waiting when his eyes went to Yash. He was talking to someone. Some girl looking from her back and long her. He thinks that maybe his friend. But his eyes got widen in shock as he sees the girl to whom Yash was talking as she turned to look outside for something. 

"Pooja!!" Only a word left from his lips as he stood there rooted in the same place as he sees them talking. His legs were not able to lift his weight as past memories made noises in his head. He turned and came to his senses as the waiter told him that his order is ready. 

Aditya took it in his hands and walked toward the door looking at them. He opened his car door and sit there. All numb. Lost in his thoughts. An unappreciated tear came down from his eyes seeing her. 

He placed his hands on steering wheel and rested his head on it thinking about past as some brutal memories flashed in front of him. Pooja's words still echoed in his head, the pain he felt still fresh in his heart, her expression killed him that night.

-----Flashback------

Pooja - "I can't love you anymore. You are not the person I thought. You are a totally different person. I never loved you. Maybe because of your past, I said yes for marriage. But now I can't take this anymore Adi. You are not for me. Sorry. I can't do this."

Aditya - "Why? Humare sab promises ka kya? Kabhi sath na chhodne ke vade ka kya? I can't understand. "

Pooja - "Adi, kaise samjau main tumhe? I can never love you. You are a good person. But kabhi aisa lagta hai ke me tumhe jantihi nahi hoon. Tum kab kya karoge wo kabhi nahi jaan payi me. Kaise rahege hum sath?" With that she gives him her engagement ring back.

Aditya - "Kyun Pooja? Maine kya kiya aisa? So this whole engagement was out of pity? Sach bol raha hoon na me?" Aditya asks engrily.

Pooja - "Nahi.. But mujhe laga tha ke jaisa pyar mujhe tujse milega wo nahi mila mujhe. I've always loved you as friend. Tumhare ankhoin me mujhe wo junooniyat nahi dikhti. Wo pyaar nahi dikhta. Wo bepannaah pyar jo sirf mere liye hona chahie wo nahi dikhta. Wo mere liye kuchh bhi krne ka irada nahi dikhta. Sabse badhkar, me tumhe abhi bhi samaj nahi pati. Goodbye Adi. Take care. and ho sake to mujhe maaf krdena." With that Pooja turned and walked away.

Aditya went on his knees processing all her words, tears continuously flowing down her eyes as he sees her figure disappearing.

--------

Aditya wakes up and opened his eyes removing every traces of tears she shredded for her. 

He makes one call to someone.

"I'm sending you two names. Give all details what relation they share, how much they know each other. Every single detail." Anger in his eyes visible as he talks to someone. 

He starts his car not thinking about anything now.

-------

He reached his building. In one hand both coffees as he presses lift button for his floor. He turns as he heard a familiar voice.

"Aditya!!! rukie. hum aate hai aapke sath." She stops in front him, breathing heavy, her hand on her knees as she tries to calm herself down. Then looks at him with a smile. Aditya enters in the lift as Zoya follows him. 

Aditya held one coffee to her and gives a smile to her.

"Thank you. Us din tumne mere liye banayi thi na. Mujhe banani to nahi aati tumhare jaise, but leke aya hoon." Aditya says to her. Zoya smiles widely.

"Thank you so much," Zoya says with a smile, but suddenly feels a strong jerk and lose balance as Aditya catches her instantly grabbing her waist. Lift just stopped.

"Hay Allah! Ye kya ho raha hai humare sath. Koi hai? Koi nikalo yaha se hume. Hum fas gaye hai." She screams as Aditya just smiles and points his finger at the lift phone. Zoya just looked down.

Aditya calls for repairing lift and take them both out but that person said that it will take at least half an hour. Hearing this Zoya just set down folding her legs and drinking her coffee. Aditya couldn't help but just smile at her antiques. He also set beside her hearing her nonstop chat.

Z - "Yash bilkul galat hai aapke bare main." Without realizing what she just said, she puts finger on her lips knowing what her mouth just uttered.

A - "kya? Kya kaha Yash me mere bare me?" Aditya asked surprisingly thinking what might have he said about him.

Z - "Wooo... woo.. Yash.." She stammered thinking what will he think about them.

A - "You can tell me." He confirms her with a smile that she can tell him anything.

Z - "He said  that hum aapse thoda dhyan se bat kre." She said nervously, sweat drops visible to her forehead. Aditya got an uneasy feeling and little angry and jealous how can he say anything about him, but he kept it cool, As Zoya has nothing to do with it. 

A - "Kya galat kaha usne? Me abhi bhi ek anjaan insan hoon and he is your husband." The last word took more courage to say because he doesn't want to believe it.

Z - "Aap bahut achhe hai." She just smiles at him.

A - "Tum bhi." He murmurs in his breath.

A - "Tum tension mat lo. Abhi nahi jaante to kya hua jaan lege badme." He smiles.

Z - "Friends?" Zoya asks him giving her hand to shake his hand. He slides his palm with her as they become friends. 

Aditya looks at her as she drank her coffee and talked about everything that happened today with her including her sister's arrival. Aditya just couldn't help but think what Yash told her and what he has seen in the coffee shop. He thinks that he must do something about it before it slips from his hands.
