Saiyyan - Adiya FF

Chapter 5

Zoya closed her books and carried them over to her book shelf, putting them away for the night. With her business assignment complete, she turned towards her closet for something other than her sweat pants. A gust of wind swept into her room from the open balcony door, catching Zoya's attention.

She felt a stir in the air...and an automatic pull where she felt her feet take her to her balcony. The stars sparkled outside. It was a beautiful night...like something special was going to happen. Zoya saw it then...a lone star shoot across the sky. She felt the rush in her veins...the one you always feel when you see a shooting star.

Zoya closed her eyes, like she has many times before, and wished. "This past year has been so amazing...I got the chance to fall in love. And I will be marrying that love soon. I wish...to always have this feeling in my life...and have this love grow only with time. Please...protect this love...for my family...for my friends...and for him."

Aditya's feet touched the grounds of the Siddiqui estate as he stepped out of the car.

Zoya opened her eyes and felt a flutter in her heart. She placed a hand over her chest and frowned. 'Odd...why did it do that all of a sudden?' she wondered.

Zoya couldn't ponder any further because Noor's voice brought Zoya out of her thoughts. "Appi you're not changed yet!? The Hooda's are already here." Noor exclaimed, seeing Zoya still in comfortable sweats.

A smile naturally adorned Zoya's face at the mention of the Hooda family. She loved them dearly...minus chicken legs of course. She can't blame the whole family for one sour apple.

"Let them know that I will be down in 10 minutes" Zoya replied and made her way towards her closet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

The two families greeted each other with warm hugs. Right when Aditya and Arjun bent down to touch Roshnaq's feet, Roshnaq reached up and pulled Aditya and Arjun's ears, one hand on each of them.

"Ow!" the two handsome men yelped, feeling like little boys again.

"You two won the championship again and didn't bother to tell me!? I had to find out from Zoya...jao...hum aap dono se baat nahin karenge" Roshnaq released the both of them and turned around, faking her disappointment.

Wasim, Harshvardhan, Anjana, and Noor watched on with amused looks, waiting to see what the Hooda brothers will do.

Aditya rubbed his sore ear and looked at Arjun. A knowing look passed between the two and they reached for Roshnaq at the same time...leaning in on each side and placing a loud kiss on her cheeks.

"Sorry Roshnaq maa" Aditya apologized cutely. Roshnaq turned to look at them, cute smiles on both their faces. She tried to hide her smile.

"Dekho...Roshnaq maa muskura rahi hai...hassi toh passi Bhai." Arjun retorted. This caused Roshnaq to finally laugh and the bystanders soon joined in the laughter.

Once everyone settled in comfortable seats in the living room, Harshvardhan spoke up, "So tell us Wasim...what was so important?"

Wasim and Roshnaq shared a knowing smile. "It's a big announcement." Wasim began, "Harsh...I need you and your family to move into my house for the next month."

The Hoodas gasped, a little shocked at the sudden request. "Kyon? Is everything ok?" Harshvardhan asked concerned, thinking the worst.

"I will need a lot of help and support..." Wasim continued, building up the suspense.

"Please tell us already...You're scaring me." Anjana stated, not being able to take the suspense any longer.

Wasim chuckled, "Zoya and Yash's wedding has been fixed 1 month from today" he finally revealed. The announcement was followed by excited cheers from the Hoodas. Aditya was stunned for a second, before he smiled and congratulated Wasim and Roshnaq. He's known Zoya since childhood...and he's pulled her leg ever since. It was a little weird to think that the little girl he has teased for years is actually getting married.
