AdiYa One Shots - Bepannaah

❃ Million Emotions : Part I ❃

∘◦❁◦∘
First of all,
a Very Very Happy Birthday to Jennifer Winget. She holds a very important place in my heart ♥️ . So this update is dedicated to her.

Also thank you again for such an overwhelming response for the previous One Shots.

So, this one shot is based on how I wanted makers to show Zoya dealing with her feeling of falling in love with Aditya instead of Arshad track.
I hope you all like it.

It is easy to say, 'get over it', but it is not easy to actually do it, the past is always with you, haunting you, the memories never leave you, the scars are there, always.
And, the scar of betrayal, it is always present and it shows in the fear of not trusting anyone so easily.

But, what do you do when you have fallen for someone?
Something similar was happening to Zoya currently, without her even realising it. She deciphered that Aditya now holds a very special place in her life. But what is that special place?

"Hum dono sirf Azeez dost hai"
Zoya says to Noor in an irritated tone who was hellbent on proving that Zoya loves Aditya.

Zoya thinks about past week occurrences
Aditya confessed his love for her 1 week back by organising yet another dinner and making sure she is in her senses this time.
But Zoya lost all her senses when she heard the three golden, more so, dreaded words from his mouth.
"I love you Zoya, I am in love with you. Beshumar aur Bepannaah mohabbat ho gayi hai tumse"
Zoya was flabbergasted to say the least. Without uttering a word she left the venue.

While Zoya was remembering Aditya's confession, her phone rings,
"Aditya"
This is probably the 100th time that he is calling her in 1 week and the only response he got was a message sent after his 10 calls that day,
Aditya, Abhi Hume kisi se baat nahi karni, hum Umeed karte hai ki aap samjhenge
Aditya did not call her for 2 more days, but then he started getting restless, he wanted to call Zoya and know how she is, he wanted to tell her that she can share whatever she feels with him.

Zoya did not answer the call. She just couldn't bring herself to.

"I love you zoya", Yash said , his last words, as he left her, forever.
A lie. Everything was a lie.
The three words that were of utmost importance to her, now horrified her.

It is not that she didn't trust Aditya, it was he who restored her trust in trust.
What she didn't trust was her destiny.
She herself said,
"Hum chahe ya na chahe,
Hum mane ya na mane,
Lekin humari kismat ek dusre se judi hui hai"

But She never thought, like that.
In spite of destiny being the one who brought them together, she couldn't trust it.
The same destiny who gave her the night of darkness after lighting her days with love, her first love.
How can she trust the same destiny who pushed her into darkness without a ray of light?

At the same time she can't be more thankful to destiny for bringing her close to her azeez dost, at least that is what she says.
"Hum sirf azeez dost hai", says Zoya, this time not to convince anyone else but to herself. She cannot let her heart win this time.
It is a very simple rule that she follows since then, agar mohabbat nahi to mohabbat ka dard bhi nahi.

But that is what her mind decided, what about her heart?
She cannot give into her heart, a heart which is shattered into infinite number of pieces, now on the crossroad of shattering again. She needs to protect the pieces, as she knows no one can collect the uncountable pieces of her heart and even if someone tried to, he would bleed due to the the sharpness of the pieces. And, she cannot hurt Aditya, not even in her dreams.
