Completely Lovestruck

As she felt Aditya's hold on her hand tightening she gasped softly and breaking free from her stance, Zoya immediately took away her hand. She sighed and moved closer towards Aditya.

"First you made me dance with you and now when we are standing in front of everyone you hurt me and I must act like I'm enjoying your company? So not done Aditya!"

No matter what kind of weird thoughts were engulfing her mind about Aditya, Zoya comprehended that he's one of those people who won't mend his ways. Perhaps at the back of her mind she always knew that seeing a change him is next to impossible!

As Zoya waited for a reply from Aditya who was enjoying the attention from the crowd, she sighed defeated and left the stage taking fast steps. Aditya's eyes followed her in amusement as Zoya walked out of the hall.

What happened to her? Kya isiliye ki maine use koi jawaab nahi diya, woh chali gayi? I'll never understand this girl and her ways!

Aditya wasn't someone who maintained decorum even at his own house and without second thoughts, he rushed through the doors of the hall ignoring the stares. As he paced along the corridor carefully looking around, Aditya knew that it would be a mammoth task to reach out for Zoya since he didn't see the direction she turned while leaving.

Looking around at times, walking backwards and then running, Aditya was on the verge of losing his mind when he finally reached the end of the corridor. A door was opened towards a balcony and a security guard standing near noticed him and gave a warm smile.

"Good evening sir, how can I help you?"

The guard asked Aditya observing his now disheveled hair and the reddish hue on his face from all the running. Aditya nodded pointing a finger at him.

"Um.. Did you see a girl wearing a rich Red Wine coloured dress walking towards the balcony?"

The guard snapped his fingers immediately.

"I did sir. Few minutes ago along with a group she went through the doors. That ma'am looked as if she was in a rush sir!"

Aditya face-palmed himself as he knew that it is Zoya.

"Thanks uncle, that's the girl.."

Saying so Aditya rushed out in to the balcony which was quite bigger than he thought. It was a marble floor extending to a long distance and lights lit up the entire outer space as if it was an artistic painting while chairs were placed for people to sit. A cool breeze hit Aditya's face as he tried to avoid it at the same time and then he saw her.

Towards the left corner of the balcony, in a rather secluded area Zoya was scanning the night city with one hand placed on the railing of the balcony while the other was placed under her chin. She was drowned in deep thoughts and she didn't look like the girl who was almost arguing with him few seconds ago.

How is she acting calm? First she was running away from me and now she looks as if nothing had happened! How can I figure out the real you?

Aditya nodded his head unable to believe what he was seeing. To talk to Zoya about what happened inside the hall after their dance, Aditya slowly made his way towards her. He suddenly noticed Zoya taking her phone out of a pocket in her dress and answering.

"Hey, finally you remembered to call? Of course, how can I not? Anjana aunty is really sweet. She took me to this designer clothes shop and asked me to choose any dress. She reminds me about mom a lot! Nahi, tu pagal hai kya?"

Aditya was behind Zoya when he heard her mutter the next few words.

"Him? No chance! Mujh par vishwaas karna seekho Aisha, you know what kind of a girl I am and I won't.. Jesus! Aisa kuch nahi hoga! Uske baare mein abhi tak main kuch nahi kar paayi. Ha, college jaana hai do din baad aur main tujhe khabar dungi. Yeah, you can Whatsapp me the improvements so that I can work from here. Alright, bye!"
