"Aditya...", she called him as she entered the house
getting no reply she thought he might have slept but on entering their bedroom he found him nowhere
"abhi tak nahi laute", she said a bit disppointed
She then freshened up and changed into her night dress
it was already 1.00 am and he had yet not come, she sat on the bed and opened laptop to work until he returned
After almost an hour the door creaked and she knew it was him, immediately closing her laptop she went out, but before she could reach a loud sound came
"Aditya", she ran and held him because he was literally swaying in the air
"areh Zoya...tum ghar pe...yeh sooraj konse side se nikla hai bhai?", he spoke leaning onto her
"aapne sharaab pi hai?"
"nahi...nahi...no...", then giggling for a short time he continued, "thori si", showing it with his fingers
"woh actually tumahare bina neend nahi aati na aur tum toh rehti nahi ho isiliye thorisi", again showing it with his fingers he smiled
"kabse Aditya?", she asked as she supported him to their bed
"main kyun batao", saying this he tried to pull away his tie
"rukiye rukiye...hum nikal dete hai"
"hmmm", he hummed closing his eyes
"aaahhh...", he whimpered in pain
"kya hua dikhaye", she took his hand in her
"ya allah yeh kaise...woh vase...Aditya", she looked at him concerned
she immediately took out the first aid box from the drawer and aided to him
"dhyaan rakhna chahiye na Aditya", she spoke as she put the bandage
"woh main na aisa hi hoon akele kuch kar hi nahi pata...isiliye saza milti hai mujhe humesha"
"Aditya...", she looked up to him as spoke further
"woh actually na bachpan se akele akele hi raha hoon na toh ab jab mujhse koi pyaar karta hai toh uski aadat par jaati hai, Pooja ki bhi adat ho gayi thi aur ab tumhari bhi ho gayi hai...sorry", saying this he fell on the bed and slept
Zoya kept looking at him for sometime, then she got up opened his shoes, shirt buttons covered him with the duvet and settled beside him
She ran her fingers on his hair and looked at his sleeping form, she wanted to work but not at the cost of this, a lone tear trickled down her eyes, she rubbed it and was about to go to sleep when he held her hand in sleep
"Zoya...I love you...love you", though he said it in his inebriated state still his words were true and directly from his heart, saying this he snuggled more into her hand holding it tightly to him
"I love you too", she whispered near his ear, kissed his forehead and sat there without disturbing him, she kept looking at his face because he looked very cute when he slept
---
Aditya woke up first...after adjusting his eyes to the light he tilted his head upwards to find Zoya asleep in sitting position
"Zoya", he sat up abruptly, released her hand which he was holding and placed her head softly on the pillow
"I am sorry", he whispered and kissed her forehead
---
"Zoya", he slowly called her
"hmmm...", she hummed as she stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes
"utho...mona aayi hai...papers sign karwane hai tumse", he gently caressed her hair
"kitne baj gaye Aditya...hum office", she sat looking at the watch, it was 11 am
"itna late hogaya...apne hume jagaya kyun nahi?"
"nahi soyi na puri raat...I am so sorry meri wajah se...", he trailed off looking down, he was guilty of his behaviour
"Anyways tum jao fresh ho jao aur signatures de do taki woh ja paaye", he kissed her forehead once again and headed towards the kitchen
Zoya kept looking at him and she realized her work was affecting him the most, and she had to sort it out
---
"thank you Mona, aur koi bhi problem hui toh aap call kar lijiyega", saying this she bid her farewell
Closing the door she went to their bedroom, he sat on his side of the bed with the laptop on his lap and legs stretched
"hum ghar pe hai aur aap laptop leke baith gaye", saying this she took the laptop from his hand, kept it on the table and sat on his lap sidewise encircling her hands around his neck
"I am sorry Zoya kal raat ke liye", he said encircling his arms around her waist and placing his head on her chest
She slowly ran her fingers on his scalp and said,
"hume bhi maaf kar de Aditya...hum koshish karenge office na jake ghar se hi...", she could not complete before he sat up straight and looked at her
"nahi Zoya...yeh kaisi baate kar rahi ho...meri galtiyo ki saza khudko mat do please..."
"Aditya aap se zada important humare liye kuch bhi nahi...", she said cupping his face
"aur mere liye tumhari khushiyo se zada important kuch nahi hai"
"Zoya", he said holding her hand and making her sit on the bed in front of him, he himself folded his legs, straightened up and continued
"mujhe problems hai Zoya, mujhe dar lagta hai akele rehne mein...jinse mein pyaar karta hoon na woh agar meri nazro se kuch pal ke liye bhi gayab ho jaye na toh dar jaata hoon ki kahi phirse...aur phir saare emotions, kuch samajh hi nahi pata hoon...par tum meri kamzoriyo ki wajah se apne sapno ko nahi marogi...tum office jaogi Zoya...Pooja ne bhi apna kaam continue kiya thha na mujhe adat ho gayi thhi ab bhi ho jayegi...meri itni bhi fikr mat kiya karo ki apni khushiy ki kurbani deni pade Zoya...isiliye tum kaam karogi, koi excuse nahi", he completed as he cupped her face
"par Aditya...", she tried to speak but was cut by him
"aur main bhi job karta hoon...uska kiya? main job karunga toh tum kyun nahi"
"kuch bolo?"
"aap bolne kaha de rahe hai", she pouted as she spoke
"ulta seedha bola na kuch toh yeh naak tod dunga main", he made an action of hitting her nose with his fist
"hum mil bhi toh nahi paate hai"
"ha kya kare", he scratched his head thinking
"ek kaam karenge...", saying this she again sat on his lap and this time he held her tightly to himself
"hum ek saath ghar ayenge...aur subah ek saaath niklenge", she said looking into his eyes
"aur jisdin meri chhutti hogi?"
"uss din aap office ayenge, yeh orders hai apki biwi ke, aur aapko follow karni hai", she pointed her fingers towards him ordering
"achha ji...", saying this he tickled her making her laugh loudly
"nahiiii... please", she was laughing hard with his tickling
"aur main office main bhi yeh kar payunga. yayyy", he pushed her on the bed, hovered over her and kissed her deep
