Saiyyan - Adiya FF

Chapter 32

Zoya tossed and turned in bed. After she heard Aditya's car pull out of the drive way, Zoya ran to her bedroom and cried...she cried until she could cry no more. She now lay in bed trying to catch some sleep...but it wasn't coming. Zoya looked at the clock on the wall...2:30am...

Frustrated, Zoya pushed the blanket off her and sat up. She was restless and sleep was not going to happen. Wrapping a robe around her slim form, Zoya walked out of her bedroom and let her feet carry her to her destination.

The mansion was quiet, indicating that everyone was sound asleep in their chambers. Zoya walked down the dark hallways until she reached her destination...the music room. When Zoya entered and turned on the lights in the room, her eyes automatically fell on the grand black piano...a birthday from her father when she turned 15 years old.

If there was one thing that eased her mind, it was playing the piano. Zoya sat down and traced her fingers over a few chords. The sweet sound easing her troubled mind. She felt exhausted, but despite that, sleep was not coming to her. And she knew why. She knew that she was not able to sleep because her heart was confused.

Did she want to go back to Yash? The question loomed over her as she started playing various tunes. She knew that Yash loved her...but he broke under pressure. He had to make that decision for his mother's health and Zoya couldn't blame Yash for trying to be a good son. Would she go back to him if he asked? Zoya wondered as she swiftly went into the beginning tunes of her favorite song.

~Heere moti main na chaahoo
Main toh chaaho sangam tera...~

She loved playing this song. It was such a beautiful composition...with even more beautiful lyrics. It spoke about unconditional love...the kind of love you have for your soulmate...for the one made for you. Zoya felt the tension on her shoulders release...knot by knot...as the music overtook her.

~Main toh teri saiyyan
Tu hai mera, Saiyyan...Saiyyan...~

Her mind started to clear, as she played the soothing tune. A small smile adorned her lips as she got lost in the chords. She remembered the first time she realized it was love she felt for Yash. It was the first time she felt like this...and it felt wonderful. It felt even more wonderful when he reciprocated. She played this song countless times...but that evening when she played this song...she understood the true meaning of it. Zoya closed her eyes, remembering the memory.

*Flashback*

Zoya saw it then...there was something new in this room. Something she was sure was never there before...it was an all white grand piano. It stood next to the glass wall, the fire dancing off its color.

"You like it?" Aditya asked, his voice low...his question gentle.

Stunned, Zoya turned to stare at Aditya. Her mouth opened to say something...when no words came out...she closed it.

Aditya smiled and pulled her to the piano. "Common...test it out...play something..." Aditya urged.

*Flashback End*

Zoya's eyes flew open. She wasn't expecting that memory to enter her mind. It was when Aditya gifted her the grand piano. She realized now that it was this moment...that she felt peace for the first time after Yash left. She remembered wanting to smile at Aditya's gesture...and the trouble he went through to get that piano for her. It was so selfless...everything Aditya did for her was so selfless. Zoya closed her eyes again.

~Tu jo chhoo le pyaar se
Aaraam se mar jau
Aaja chanda bahoo mein
Tujh mein hi gum ho jau...~

*Flashback*
