Not today [Completed]

33- 'In trouble, You?'

They went back to their hotel room after eating.
An awkward silence still existed between Aditya and Zoya.
Was it because of the growing attention?

Zoya has been down, She didn't look happy but seemed to be into something through the trip.
Aditya sensed it, So Joon sensed it too.
The silence still remained during the return of the trip.
Zoya worked in her office quietly enduring Si Hye's curious questions.
So Joon wanted to tell Si Hye about all that he saw in the hotel but Zoya kept denying him and she kept avoid the situation.
So Joon wasn't able to bare the silence and longed to know what went in her mind.

Aditya definitely knew that Zoya wasn't okay. He always tried to get closer to her but she kept making excuses that she has work after hardly 15 minutes into the conversation with Aditya.
Aditya really wanted to talk to her. He wanted to know more.

"Zoya-ssi, We have to talk." So Joon slammed the decaf coffee on Zoya's table and looked at her with furious eyes. Which looked more like puppy eyes.
"Wassup?" Zoya asked, Ignoring the fact that So Joon was furious.
He pulled the chair and sat facing Zoya.
"Stop faking a smile." So Joon started.
Zoya sensed something was really wrong and stopped sipping her drink.
"What?" Zoya asked.
" I know that something is wrong but you aren't telling it and it is killing yourself inside you."
"No that's nons-"
"It's not. For the past one week you've been a Zombie just absorbing everything and putting a smiling mask on your face. You are not the Zoya noona I know."
"It's nothing like that." Zoya said and tried to walk away but So Joon held her hand and made her sit down, Forcefully. Back to position.
"And you are doing it again." So Joon said, Looking directly into her eyes.
Zoya sighed.
"What now? " Zoya shrugged.
"Zoya-ssi..I'm.. See, I'm not trying to be harsh but trying to be the best of friends I could ever be and seeing you like this seriously hurts me alot. Tell me, What's wrong?" So Joon calmed down and spoke with a soft voice.
Zoya paused.
"Is it..Aditya-ssi?" So Joon asked.
Zoya nodded, Her head lowered down staring hard into the ground.
"yes, Now can I leave?"
"No. I know it's bad to interfere but You know I have no choice."
Zoya sat still.
Her face turned pink and she tried her best to keep her tears in.
So Joon went closer to her face to get a better view and noticed tears filling her eyes rapidly and Zoya's attempt to stop them from reaching out.
She tried to hold it longer but failed.
She finally burst into tears.
So Joon expected it but didn't know how to react.
He wiped her tears gently with his fingertips.
"Zo..Zoya-ssi?" So Joon just gave up and Hugged her tightly.
Zoya rested her head on his shoulders.
"You can cry as much as you want, I'll be there but just don't ever hide your feelings. It's best to talk it out with me or anyone. I'll always support you." So Joon whispered in her ears.
His soft voice somehow calmed her and made her feel safe.
"Thank you." Zoya said slowly.
So Joon smiled.
"But one thing, Don't make my shirt wet. I just washed it." So Joon said.
Zoya hit him in the shoulder.
"Ouch..Noona.. "
"Noona." Zoya impersonated him.
They laughed out.
"Thanks for the coffee too." Zoya said.
"Anytime."
"But Zoya-ssi, I need you to talk to Aditya-ssi today about your feelings. You have to! " So Joon exclaimed.
"I will. Thank you." Zoya assured.
So Joon gave a reassuring smile and bopped her nose.
"Hey! "
"Remember to talk, Noona" So Joon said and ran away.
Zoya laughed to herself.

Zoya returned home and ate alot. She ate for an entire week in one meal. Si Hye learnt many different recipes in two days and made Zoya eat them all in a go.
Zoya was tired and went to her bedroom.
She dumped herself into the bed and she was the best definition of a couch potato.
She was going to sleep until she got a call.
'Aditya' It said.
Zoya was puzzled. She asked Yash about Aditya before leaving Office but It seemed that he went out with The gamer.
Zoya attended the call to look at an empty bed.
'What?' Zoya thought to herself.
The camera shook and then there she saw Aditya laying on the bed wearing  a black hoodie.
His skin was pink and something didn't feel right for Zoya.
"Zoya." Aditya said. His words slurred.
Zoya knew that he was slightly drunk
'Hey. How are you?" Zoya asked.
"Finee..I guess. "
"Is something wrong?"
He smirked.
"Everything is. Sigh"
"What happened?"
"Umm... Is So Joon Your boyfriend?"
Aditya asked hesitantly.
Zoya's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect it at all. She wanted to scold him for such a question but didn't.
She was half heart broken.
How could she feel right when the person she loved asked her if she was with someone?
"What are yo-" Zoya started.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have asked that. But I just can't stop myself. Looking at you both laughing together and you wearing his clothes and hugging him just kills me from inside."
"But that wa-"
"No, Maybe I wasn't right for yo-"
"Shut up! You are perfect."
"I doubt that."

There was a deep silence after he said that.
They both were heart broken.
Aditya didn't know the truth and hurted himself.
Zoya wasn't able to see him hurt.

"I really want you." Aditya said.
Zoya was shook.
He continued.
"Remember? when we were kids, You used to always eat and play with me. I don't know when it turned into an addiction. I can't let go of you."
Aditya just said whatever he wanted to say.
Zoya was still shocked by his words.
"I want to hold you closer to me. I want to feel your heat till I go to sleep. I want to taste those sweet lips of yours that I'm smitten to and look at you through your beautiful eyes."
Her heart flustered.
She didn't know that Aditya was that deep in his feelings.

"I want to be the reason for your smile and laugh. I want you to be the person whom I can call mine. I want to hold only your hands when I die and even after that." He said.
Even he blushed hard when telling that but these were his feelings which he was pouring out unconsciously.
"Adit-"
"I know. I am not yours."
"That's not the tr-"
"No, Please. But So Joon is also a great guy. He is really kind. He could keep you happy forever. He could give you better hugs than mine. He could hold your hand. Maybe this is were we could reach."
His words kept breaking her heart.
She wanted to shut his mouth and tell him that she loves him more than anything and that So Joon was just her friend.

"I just wish you are happy. I want you to smile always. I don't want you to suffer. You are mature enough to choose a partner and I can't force an opinion on you. Just remember that I am always by your side, No matter what. I will always be there for you." Aditya said.
Each word he spoke poked her heart and pierced through her emotional part.

"Zoya I'll always care for you. Even when you have the least teeth in your mouth to talk, I'll help you fill your dreams by giving up on myself and that's how much I've fallen for you."
"But Adit-"
"Bye Zoya." Aditya said.
Zoya didn't want him to leave.
Aditya took a last glimpse at her and turned from the camera.
He waved, All Zoya was able to see was his hand.
"But Adit-"
"Bye Sweetheart. Stay happy." He said.
Little did she know that he was too broken inside to even listen to her voice.
The screen went blank.
'Call ended.'
