It's going to be two days since Aditya left Delhi, and there hasn't been a single call or message from him. Zoya hasn't given this much importance to her phone in recent times. She gave utmost welcome to even the most useless notification, but the one she expected didn't seem to make a teaser appearance too. And she didn't want to send a message too, without hearing anything from him.
"Hey!! Coming for a birthday party?" Pooja asked, entering the guest room, while being dressed up in a green anarkali suit.
"Birthday party?" Zoya asked, with not much curiosity, while she was flipping the pages of the magazine in her hand.
"It's our friend Preethi...our neighbor from the colony. She is throwing a huge birthday party today...with dance, games, music...it's gonna be fun! Joining us? You will love it!" Pooja said with an excited face.
Zoya wondered how can she and Arjun be so cool, without any contact from Aditya. They seem to be so busy with their schedules and life, as they find it so normal. So, is she over reacting? Maybe she is expecting a bit too much? No, he only developed these expectations is her. He has been so close to her since the last few months, and such a sudden absence will naturally affect anyone. She was right in the way she feels. She took a deep breath and looked at Pooja.
"No...I am...I am not feeling well..." Zoya said looking back into the magazine.
"Not feeling well? What happened?" Pooja rushed to Zoya and placed her hand on her forehead, "You don't seem to be having a fever...any other issue?"
"It's nothing of that kind..." Zoya said taking Pooja's hand off her head, while she held her hand in her hands, "I am just feeling a bit low...nothing else. You go for the party, Pooja...I will be at home."
"But why...suddenly? Did we do something?" Pooja asked with a concerned look.
Zoya looked at Pooja hearing that, while she went silent for a while, and later took a deep breath and said, "No Pooja...it's just like...I am feeling a bit off...I will be alright in some time. You go...have fun."
"You are sure?" Pooja asked, placing her hand on Zoya's shoulder, "Naani too isn't at home...she will be late. Arjun too is coming with me, so...shall I stay back with you?"
"Pooja!!" Zoya smiled and cupped Pooja's face, "I will be okay...you both go and have fun...if there's anything, I will call you...cool?"
"Okay...only because you insist!" Pooja said and hugged Zoya, while she hugged her back with a smile.
"Bye darling!! Call me or Arjun any time...whenever you want us here, we will definitely be here...okay?" Pooja said with a smile and gave a peck on Zoya's cheek and walked out.
Pooja went to Arjun, who was waiting outside, while Zoya locked the house door and went back to her room.
"Zoya isn't coming?" Arjun asked, looking back at the house.
"No...she seems a bit upset over something. But she doesn't want to share it...she just wants some time alone I feel..." Pooja said looking back at the house, while Arjun thought over it.
"Yesterday too she wasn't in the mood while we took her around Delhi. Today too she is the same..." Pooja said, while Arjun replied, "And this started since the moment Adi Bhai left..."
"...without telling her..." Pooja completed the sentence, while they both looked at each other. A brief smile appeared in their faces, while they nodded her head slowly together.
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Pooja asked with a smile.
"I don't know what you are thinking." Arjun said with a smile, "But I know this much that whatever we both have in mind, it is somewhat the same!"
