Adhura Alviida 2

with the sunshine comes the rain

Hiiya! Long time no see! Sorry, I've been ridiculously busy with this tragedy named 'college'. Might not be able to update for a while due to finals. I hope you all can understand. I'm going to be honest a huge portion of why i felt demotivated to write this was because of the lack of response on this story.

P.S. I started a new two-shot on AdiYa titled 'Mere Kehne ko Humsafar'. It's a big different, do let check it out and leave your feedback, it is much appreciated :)

"Khala, when is she coming?" Aadhya gently pressed her hand over Noor's protruding baby bump.

Noor smiled as she ran her hands on Aadhya's hair. "Soon, baby..."

She smiled at Aadhya's inquisitive talks. No matter how many babies Arjun and her have, Noor knew that Aadhya would always be always be considered their eldest child. For four whole years, since the day she was born to the day Aditya took her, Noor raised Aadhya as her own baby. From the day she held her niece in her arms, she developed such an affinity to this child that forced her to mature and be the mother figure to Aadhya that Zoya was unable to do given her circumstances. She remembered how Aadhya gurgled with those big, brown inquisitive eyes the first time she held her in her arms, and from that day on Noor knew that Aadhya wasn't just her niece. She was more than a daughter to her. She was more like Arjun and her's first child. Though she may have been her appi and jiju's daughter, Aadhya would remain her and Arjun's little one as well.

A part of her could never forgive Aditya for brutally snatching Aadhya out of their arms, but another part of her understood his unsaid pain. After all, they were wrong in hiding Aadhya from him too. He had all right to know that he had a child. But their nervousness and the bitter turmoil Aditya and Zoya's relationship ended in, didn't allow anyone to inform him. Even Arjun had not remained in contact with his brother. No calls, no messages. But all of that shattered the moment Zoya had informed them of Aadhya's condition. They would always be there for her, they couldn't lose the little girl who both of them loved so much.

Noor sighed as she laid on the bed and looked around as Aadhya laid next to her whispering to her baby bump. This house seemed so foreign, so much had changed. It was her first time in here as a daughter in law but she felt no relation to the place. Arjun and Aditya weren't even talking.

She simply hoped that things would change, this family was too broken.

"Zoya—um...where is ammi and abbu staying?" Aditya asked hesitantly as they both were in the privacy of their own home.

"We still have our house in Mumbai, Aditya." She responded.

Aditya looked down as he felt guilty. He knew the reason they had all come was for Aadhya yet her parents weren't staying his home because of what he had done. Three years ago he had taken her away from Zoya's family and fought them for her custody, despite being unable to be a proper father to Aadhya. He had taken Aadhya away from the people she had grown up with. That were so near and dear to her.

"Why don't you invite them to stay here?" He asked.

Zoya stopped in her tracks as she looked at him. "Aditya—you know abbu..." She said rather quietly, but so much that Aditya got the message and the emotion she was trying to portray.

Aditya was wrong, and he hated to admit it to himself. He had to right his wrongs and there was no better time to do it. Aadhya deserved better than having her father and her maternal family not being able to get along. And for his daughter, Aditya Hooda would do anything he had to.

"Aadu...baby, stop bothering khala. She needs rest, na?" Zoya said coming into Arjun and Noor's room with a tray
