His stares and her giggles

chapter 22

"ab Kya" Aditi sat down on sofa while Zain was busy with his mobile. She wondered weather he has an idea to go home or not.

"Nothing much!" Zain shrugged as he continued surfing through his mobile. Aditi opened her mouth several time to say something but finally gave up.

"I need to buy some groceries as it's off today so " she stopped in the midway half embarrassed of how to ask him to leave but Zain completed her sentence which made her give a grave look.

"Then come let's go" Zain said casually looking at her while he started to wonder at her expressions.

"Kya hua" it was his turn to ask this time while Aditi huffed a little not understanding his exact intentions.

"Where r u coming" Aditi aksed doubtfully while Zain shrugged.

"Shopping, you said it's grocery" Zain gave an obvious look.

"Ghar kiska hai" Aditi added while Zain raised his burrows.

"Well, shall I join you!"

"Yeh chalega Kya" Zain mocked back while Aditi got up in frustration not understanding what exactly his problem is.

"Adu your phone" Zain knocked the bedroom door while she opened it immediately. Dressed in flattering jeans and casual off shoulder top Aditi stepped out while Zain stopped in midway.

"Haan?" she added in mean of enquiring about her phone while Zain was too lost to even respond. He simply pointed out the table and Aditi picked up stepping past him.

Seeing the caller ID she gave an uncomfortable look while Zain's furrowed at her change in expression .

"All ok" he mouthed while she just nodded showing the caller ID. Zain stiffed a little reading the caller ID while Aditi's face was flushed out.

"Attend" he encouraged while she let out some easy breathes before taking the call.

"Hello" she spoke and her voice was merely audiable.

"Haan, AD!" She heard his voice and an unknown ping made her shudder by merely hearing him.

"Haan" she continued while Zain folded his fist tightly tensed with the conversation happening.

But suddenly Aditi pulled awaythe mobile from her ears and put them on loud speaker while Zain wondered why she is doing so.

"Haan shree! I was not hearing you, Kya bola" she continued while Zain looked at Aditi's face curiosly.

"You free today evening" Zain heard his voice and saw Aditi while she raised her chin with dancing furrows questioning him what to answer. Zain mouthed his suggestion which she immediately understood.

"Kyu?" Aditi spoke confidently smiling at Zain for helping.

"It's just that I need my workout equipments back. My house is renovated" he replied while Aditi now looked at Zain. Since he didn't knew the full matter he was confused. but he encouraged her to speak up.

"I am free now. Can you come within half an hour" Aditi suggested while Zain looked at the clock. It was half past 2 pm.

He gave a thumbs up to her while she gave a relieved sigh.

"You are at home at this time. Are you ok" Zain could hear the concern in his voice but that didn't ease his folded fist.

"Yeah, I am ok" she replied in low voice not understanding how to react.

"Good then. See you soon" Thus and then the line went dead. Aditi sat down on the couch with a thud.

"I am freaking goanna face him after 4 months" she nervously ran her hands through her hairs while Zain pressed her shoulders sitting besides her. It hurts for him to see her like that. How nice everything was till now, he thought.

"It's ok Aditi. You have to face this. I am here" he patted her shoulders while she nodded positively.

"You are right Zain. I have to face this." Aditi replied.

"By the way where r the equipments" Zain started to look arround strangely as there was no trace of anything like that.

"Umm. It's there in the store room. Occupying half of my space. Glad that it's leaving" she gave an annoyed took while Zain chuckled.

"Glad enough" he repeated while she broke into a fist of laughter.

"And everything ends with this, officially. I hold nothing of his anymore, nothing" she repeated more to herself with confidence while Zain nodded in affirmation.

And finally the most unwanted guest was on door steps while it was Zain who was receiving him.

"Hey dude" Zain gave a good shake to the shock stiken person who was totally supried with the person who is receiving in the door steps.

"Hey, Zain right" he acted as if remembering a bit late while Aditi just stepped out of kitchen casually. She smiled at first looking at him and then stood beside Zain.

"Adu" he sighed stepping forward to hug her while Aditi stepped little back with a extended hand. "Hey" she reciprocated while his face lost the glee.

Zain immediately holded her lower back supporting her while Aditi just smiled widely. Her eyes silently thanked him for holding her.

"Huh, so yeah. There r your equipments" she pointed out the open store door while his eyes followed the direction. All this time Zain gave a proud look at Aditi happy for her confident grin.

"Yeah, I will call the labours then" he immediately stepped back with his mobile in hand dialing.

"So! How is Natasha" Aditi asked with no trace of anxiousness.

"She is good" he nodded positively while taking the last sip. He was sitting on the single couch while Zain and Aditi were on the three person sofa.

"Great" Aditi holded back while Zain rested his arms around the neck of the sofa sitting with a comfortable cross leg position half hugging Aditi. Nothing went unnoticed in his eyes and Aditi was completely unaware of the unspoken rage between two men's over there.

"So you guys are living in" he couldn't hold back his curiosity in asking while Aditi's smile faded this time. But Zain was fast enough to cut in-between.

"Yes" he spoke while Aditi looked at him with a shocking expression. Zain in turn just winked at her.

Trust me, he (the Mr ex) needs no screen play here but I want to show that Aditi is no more into that mess.
