Not today [Completed]

23-'As I go deeper, I get anxious.'

"So, Now?" Aditya sighed.
"Try something Adi, Take her some where." Aditya's dad said.
"Yeah I'll do that."
"Take her before your mom comes."

Aditya had no idea.
Aditya's mom was too desperate to come along with everyone to the jewellery selection.
If Zoya meets his Mom recognises her then everything is shattered.
After thinking hard, Aditya came up with a plan.
He decided to take Zoya to buy the Flower bouquet.

"Aditya, What's wrong?" Zoya whined.
"Nothing is wrong. We are just going to buy a bouquet, The work will be done side by side right?" Aditya said.
Zoya thought for a while and looked at him.
"But n-"
"You don't want Maya to be holding a cabbage on her wedding right."
Zoya closed her mouth.
"Okay I'll come." Zoya stomped her feet and got her bags.
Aditya smiled widely.

"Ah I wish Zoya was here." Maya said.
"Yeah, But she is doing a good job too s-" Pooja started.
"What are you talking about? I kept hearing Zoya." Aditya's mom interrupted and said.
"Yeah Zoya is our event manager." Maya replied.
"Really? I didn't meet her."
"She came yes-"
"She has been busy all the time so it's hard to see her." Pooja cut her off and said.
"Oh, But I'll make amazing choices for you now, Believe me."

"Aditya, How many stores will w-"
"There's one there" Aditya pointed and drove off.
Zoya sighed.
They had gone to 5 bouquet stores to overall and saw many beautiful flowers.
But Aditya rejected them all.
Zoya didn't fell it different because he was like that when he was young too.
Aditya mostly rejected them because he wanted to keep Zoya away from his mom.
He tried many excuses and kept going to different shops.

-ONE NEW NOTIFICATION-

Daddy: We are done shopping, We are going to eat.

Aditya sighed of relief after looking at that message. He didn't have to pretend anymore.
Aditya's face glowed.
"Is this good?" Zoya asked taking a bouquet in her hands.
It looked pretty, But it didn't give 'That feeling' when he looked at it.
Aditya looked around and a bouquet caught his eyes.
He immediately took it and showed it to Zoya.
"Wow" Zoya exclaimed.
"This is the best, Adi!" Zoya said and took it from him.
He smiled looking at her.
"It is final right?" Zoya asked.
Aditya nodded.
Zoya smiled brightly and went to the counter.
Aditya followed her.

"So...Now? " Zoya asked.
"Umm, Let's eat." Aditya replied.
Zoya's eyes immediately searched for a restaurant.
She found one.
"Let's go there" Zoya said and pointed.
Aditya was ok with it so he was driving towards it.

-ONE NEW NOTIFICATION-

Daddy: We are at SunBucks now.

Aaahhh.
Not again.
After reading that message, Aditya immediately turned the car.
Zoya was confused.
"What happened?" Zoya asked.
Aditya had to find another excuse.
"Umm..That..Actually..." He stuttered.
Zoya looked at him.
"Well.. Coffee! You are allergic to coffee."
"So?"
"We cannot go there."
"But I'm not going to drink coffee."
"Yeah but what if there are small particles of Caffeine in it? Let's be safe."
"Okay." Zoya said and Pouted.
Aditya looked at it.
"Don't be angry..." Aditya said.
"Why?"
"Because you look cute, And I get...thoughts in my mind.." Aditya said and smirked.
Zoya turned her face away from him.
"So where are we eating?" Zoya asked, Still turning to the other side.
"WacDonalds?"
"Fine"

Maya was trying all the jewellery that she got. She liked them all but she didn't feel good about the fact that Zoya wasn't there when she purchased all of this.
"I wish that I got something for Zoya." Maya said.
"Don't worry,Aditya has gone with her, He would've gotten the entire store for her." Pooja said and smiled.
Maya smiled and shot up.
"I have an idea" She said.
"Hmm?"
"Why can't we help Zoya and Aditya get married?"
"What do you mean?"
"She is helping me alot in my marriage, So I want to do the same. When she gets married, I'll help her too."
"That's great but She should accept Aditya for that."
"Aren't they dating?"
"Huh? Ha? No no" Pooja laughed.
"Really, I shipped them alot." Maya sighed.
"They are close friends from childhood, But not in a relationship."
"Aah, I want them to get married, They are so cute"
"I know"

Aditya and Zoya went to the hall and explained the workers about the decorations and designed some invitation cards as a sample.
They got the samples to show it to the love birds to get their consents.
And that took half of the day.
They have to go again to the hall the next day to check the arrangements and then it's the wedding!

"Aahh I ate well." Zoya said as she walked to her house along with Aditya.
"I'm glad to hear that." Aditya said.
"Thanks alot, I enjoyed it."
Aditya smiled.
"Zoya." Aditya called her.
She turned to look at him.
He held her hand and placed  something on her palms.
She opened a tiny box and looked inside.
It was a ring which had broken when she was young.
It was her favourite ring.
She looked at him surprised.
"I fixed this ring a long time ago, But I wasn't able to give it to you because you left." Aditya said.
Zoya smiled looking at the ring.
"You still had it all this time. This instantly reminds me of my childhood." Zoya said and started to walk.
"I also saved it from your evil friend." Aditya said.
Zoya looked confused for a while but remembered soon.
"Oh her."
"What was her name?"
"Priya."
"Yeah, You still remember."
"It's hard to forget someone whom you hate"
"Of course."
Aditya said and laughed.
"I wish we could be like before, I wish we could talk again like friends, Like brother and sister, Like an u-"
"I can't now." Aditya said and stopped.
Zoya looked at him surprised.
"I can't do that now because I don't see you that way now."
"What do you mean?" Zoya asked.
Aditya took a deep breath and answerd looking at her with his deep dark eyes.
"I'm falling for you, Zoya."
Zoya's eyes widened in shock.
"This is not new, I've fallen for you way ahead of time till it stopped ticking. Now that it has started again, I cannot stop myself from falling for you deeper."
His words killed Zoya inside. And she liked the feeling.
She likes to die again and again for him.
"The whole while when the clock stopped, I just moved on thinking that it will start again blindly. I had a hope that it will all get better again and closed my eyes to sleep but whenever I did that, The old times came to my head. I endured it all but not anymore, Zoya."
Zoya was melting inside.
She was speechless.
She felt the same thing but since he was speaking her heart out, She was out of words.
She just listened.
"I can't do that, Can you?" Aditya asked.
Zoya Was startled.
"Yeah I can, I*hik* can do." Zoya denied her feelings but her body didn't.
Zoya gets hiccups whenever she lies and Aditya knew about it.
Zoya sighed and rushed to her house but Aditya followed her, caught her hand and turned her to face him.
He looked at her with his intense, Yet lovable eyes.
Zoya gulped.
"This *hik*... These hiccups are.."
Aditya didn't listen to it all but went closer to her lips.
She covered her lips with her hands.
But that didn't stop him.
He pecked her hand softly.
Her eyes widened in amaze.
He closed his eyes feeling it.
He withdrew from her.
His eyes still glued to hers.
She looked at him and removed her hand.
This time she got a little closer to him.
She stood on her toes to reach up to him.
He gently pulled her closer to him by her waist.
She rested her hands on his shoulders.
He went closer and sucked her lower lip with his.
Zoya lost herself in it.
It got deeper and deeper.
They lost themselves in their own world, Where only they matter the most. Everything else just existed.
They kissed.
It felt like they found the ground after being tired of flying in the sky their entire life.
As it got deeper, They got anxious.
