Chapter 7: Heart warming

Aditya's nerves flared up. He just couldn't digest the fact that he sees Zoya wherever he goes or things get related to her every time he tries to divert his mind. To him she wasn't Pooja's friend who was standing in front for now. His mind stopped working.

He got up pushing his chair aside with full force. Zoya was surprised. The way his eyes got red didn't give Zoya a good sign.

"Aditya I..."

She saw him walking towards her. Before she could comprehend what's happening , Aditya pinned her to the wall. His hold was so tight , that Zoya could barely make a moment. She was perplexed but scared.

"Aditya what are you doing?"  Zoya said trying to get out of his hold.
Aditya grabbed her waist and pushed himself even more on her. He brought his face closer to her looking directly in her eyes. She moved her face to the side not able to take his intense gaze and deep breath falling on her lips.

"Didn't I tell you that Iam busy. Can't you understand?" He said with his jaws clenched.

"Aditya please... leave me . Be in your limit."
Aditya gripped her waist more tightly. She didn't feel comfortable. She was getting hurt.

"I'm Pooja's friend Aditya...". Zoya said almost shouting not able to take it anymore. Tears finding their way to her cheeks.

Aditya was brought back to his senses. He backed off immediately. He saw her face and he cursed himself for it.

"Zoya..." he whispered.
She showed her palm to him .

"If you weren't Pooja's fiancé I wouldn't have thought further and slapped you hard now." She said
Aditya watched her with a guilty face.

"Zoya I'm sorry..."

Zoya didn't listen . She turned to go and the door opened.

"Zoiii look at this design it's sooo ...". Pooja said with excitement but soon her expression changed as she saw Zoya's tears.

"Hey... what happened?"  Pooja asked her with concern.

Zoya looked at Aditya. He gulped hard. He was sure that this situation is definitely going to result in heavy storm. She was just looking at him. Pooja noticed it and turned to Aditya.

"Adi.. did you tell her anything?" Pooja asked with a serious tone. He stayed silent.

"Adi I asked you something."

"Pooja..."  Zoya said. Aditya looked at her ready for the havoc but what she further said surprised him.

"I just saw the family photo on Aditya's table. So I was just... missing my parents. Aditya was trying to make me understand. Nothing that serious. Don't worry Pooja."
Zoya smiled slightly.

Aditya didn't expect this coming from Zoya. Why did she didn't tell the truth? She's Pooja friend and she's supposed to tell the truth. Why did she tried to save me ?... all these thoughts ran in his mind. He just kept looking at Zoya .

"Awww.... my zoi. I understand how much you miss them. You don't even get time for them in Mussoorie. But you have people here who are with you and loves you. Noor, me .... and even Aditya. Haina Adi?"

Aditya looked at Pooja . Surprised. Zoya just looked down.

"Come we'll video call uncle and aunty now . It's been a long time since I spoke to them. Before that give me a hug..."
