After the dinner.

Aditya wanted to meet Zoya for once but due to the pressure of so many works he could not.

Aditya in his mind: Why everyone is giving me so works. I am the groom yaar. Not fair. But ab Zoya se kaise milu..

Anjana same out of nowhere: Adi. Tu yaha? Chal jaldi, ghar nahi jaana kya?

Aditya: Aa haan. Haan. Main ahi raha tha.

Anjana: Haan to chal. Jaldi aa.

Aditya whined in his mind: Ahaaaaaa. Zoya ko to main ye bhi thik se nahi bol paya ki wo kitni khub surat lagrahi hain. Dhurrr
…......................................................................

At midnight.

In Siddique Mansion.

Zoya was just looking at the diamond engagement ring and was just thinking about Aditya.

Zoya in her mind: Aj engagement hogayi. Kal mehndi aur parso shaadi. Huh. Life is indeed miraculous.

Her phone rang.

Zoya: As well as the people.

Zoya picked up her phone and swipe the green button.

Zoya in the phone: Hello.

Aditya: Zoya. Open the door.

Zoya: Huh?

Aditya: Quickkk. What if Ammi Abbu sees me. What will they think.

Zoya: But why are you..

Aditya: Zoya. Plz. Quickly open the door.

Zoya opened the door of her room and bumped into someone.

Aditya: Zoya, why are you so careless?

Zoya: I thought you were outside our house.

Aditya: Arreh I came from the window in the kitchen.

Zoya hold Aditya's hand and quickly made him enter the room.

Aditya: Arreh Arreh. Itna jaldi kya hain.

Zoya: Agar kisi ne dekh liya na tab ap samjhenge ki itna jaldi kya hain. Ab ap hume ye bataiye ki ap yaha aye kis liye?

Aditya singing: Ap ne bulaya isliye.

Zoya smiled and replied: Ab aye hain to kam hi bataiye.

Aditya: Na na na. Pehle zara ap muskuraien.

Zoya: Aditya. Ab ap seriously bataiye ki ap Yaha kis liye aye hain?

Aditya: To tell you how beautiful you were looking at our engagement.

Zoya: huh?

Aditya: Hmm.

Zoya blushed: But you could tell that in call na?

Aditya: Then how could I see you blushing?

Zoya: No. Fyi, I am not blushing.

Aditya: Accha? Then what is this?

Zoya: What?

Aditya: This.

And then he kissed her cheek.

Zoya's eyes got widen.

Aditya: What?

Zoya: Aditya. Ab ap jaiye.

Aditya: Arreh. Aise hone wale shauhar ko bhaga dena acchi baat nahi hoti.

Zoya: Aditya. If someone see then it will be so embarrassing.

Aditya: Accha Accha fine. I am going. Kuch din baad to mujhe aise chupke chupke nahi aana padega na...

Zoya: Time will say everything. Now goooo.

Zoya pushed Aditya slightly and made sure nobody could see them.

Zoya in her room after Aditya left.

Zoya: Matlab koi itna natak kaise kar sakta hain. Pehle to kisiki zindagi barbaad karna aur ab ye sab. Urghh. Aditya, Apko to apka kiye ki saza milegi hi. Ya Allah. Plz guide me.

With that the night ended...

Anjana: Arjun, you just take care about florists while I will talk to Pandit.

Arjun: Okay Ma.

Anjana: And where are you going Mister?

Anjana: Ma, I have a office and I go to work. You forgot?

Anjana: I did not forget but you forgot that you are going to get married in less that one week.

Aditya: Ma, I have an important meeting. I will be back soon. Bye bye.

With that Aditya left ASAP.

Anjana: I don't know how Zoya is gonna handle Adi.

In office.

As Zoya and Aditya entered the office, some employees congratulated them. Some of the employees were backbiting but who cares.

Mahi: Congratulations Adi Sir. Congratulations Zoya.

Anger was hidden from Mahi's face but Zoya understood.

Aditya: Thank you guys. This was really sweet of you. Now let's get back to work. Hmm.

Employees: G Sir.

Mahi in her cabin.

She just couldn't tolerate how can Adi love Zoya.

Mahi: Urghhhh. Tumhe kya lagta hain Zoya ki main tumhe Itni asaani se sab kuch hone dungi. Kabhi bhi nahi. Just wait and watch.

In Aditya's cabin.

Aditya: See, everyone was so happy na.

Zoya: Hmm. Accha here is the file you wanted.

In the evening, after the meeting ended.

Aditya: Thank you so much Zoya. I don't know what would happen if you were not with me. Thank God the client agreed.

Zoya just smiled: Accha Aditya, I have to go early today. Wo kal mehndi hain na to Ammi hume ghar jaldi jaane ko bol rahi thi.

Aditya: Oh. I will drop you.

Zoya: No. I mean, actually I also have to go to hospital as I have a friend there to invite her tomorrow.

Aditya: OK. So I will drop you there, then you invite and I will wait. Moreover i am free now.

Zoya: It may take some time.

Aditya: No worries.

Aditya dropped Zoya to Mumbai Hospital.

In hospital.

In Pooja's cabin.

Sakshi: Zoya. Beta what are you doing. Do you even know the consequences of marrying to Aditya Hooda?

Zoya: Aunty, I know. And if I can marry him them I will be able to know a lot from his friends and relatives. What if I get a hint. And moreover after the truth will come to everyone, I will officially give him divorce.

Sakshi: Huh. I just pray everything goes well.

Zoya: Aunty what did the doctor say?

Sakshi: She said that Pooja is improving a lot.

Zoya: Hope she gets well soon.

After some time, Zoya left from there.

In the car.

Zoya: Sorry actually I just got carried away.

Aditya: It is absolutely fine.

Aditya dropped Zoya home.

The next day, everybody started to prepare for mehndi function.

In the evening.

Zoya's outfit for Mehndi and Sangeet.

Aditya's outfit for Mehndi and Sangeet.

The Hooda's arrived when Zoya has just started applying mehndi.

They greeted each other. Some were dancing whereas some were playing dhol whereas some were arranging everything.

Aditya smiled looking at Zoya whereas Zoya also smiled.

Aditya in his mind: Huh. How I became so lucky to have Zoya in my life.

Aditya: Noor, come here.

Noor who was sitting beside Zoya: Haan Jiju. Ayi.

Noor went to Aditya while Zoya thought what was now Aditya up to.

Aditya to Noor: Noor, can you do a work for me?

Noor: Sure.
****
After the conversation, Noor went to Zoya.

Zoya: What did he say?

Noor: You will get to know later. Now apply the mehndi.

After Zoya applied the mehndi on her both hands.

Noor: Appi, you go to the rooftop.

Zoya: Why?

Noor: Arreh just go na. You will get to know.

Zoya: Fine.

Zoya went to rooftop and there he saw Aditya standing at the edge of the roof.

Zoya: You?

Aditya: Oh. You done with your mehndi?

Zoya: Yeah. You called me?

Aditya: Aren't you hungry?

Zoya: Yeah. Very muchhh.

Aditya: Come. Here is the food.

Zoya saw all the arrangements. For the further functions on the roof there were chair and tables.

Aditya: I thought to have dinner with you.

Zoya: That's what you were talking about with Noor?

Aditya: Oh. Mm yeah.

They sat on the chair and Aditya started to serve the food on the plates.

Zoya: Accha I won't be able to eat.

Aditya: It is okay. I can feed you with spoon.

Zoya: Then how will you be able to eat.

Aditya: I will eat later. Now stop asking so many questions.

With that Aditya put a whole spoon of rice in her mouth.

Zoya: Noor could also feed me. I mean you ...

Aditya: Zoya. I just wanted to spend some time with you. Actually I don't know but I just want to be with you. I know I am a bit childish but....now eat this.

Zoya felt really special. But what if it a trap. The question popped in her mind. I tell you a lawyer's mind is really really suspicious....

After Zoya was done eating, Aditya placed the plate on the table and they both were looking at the sky.

Aditya sighed.

Zoya asked: What happened?

Aditya: Feeling complete.

Zoya was confused.

Aditya: I mean I actually did not know that I will ever fall in love after Paa...

Zoya: Well, we always get the unexpected things.

Aditya: I agree..

All of a sudden, Noor suddenly entered.

Noor: Jiju. Anjana Aunty is asking for Appi.

Aditya: Why all have to disturb my time.

Zoya just giggled.

Zoya: Noor. Let's go.

Noor: Sorry Jiju.

Aditya: Arreh you helped me. That's a lot Sali sahiba.

Noor smiled and they all went downstairs. But all of these were witnessed by Mahi.

Mahi: Huh itni Khushi ha. Iss Khushi ko Kahi nazar na lag Jaye Zoya.

After the Mehndi function ended, so tomorrow was Haldi ceremony.

Tomorrow in the morning...

In Hooda House.

Anjana: Arjun, here is the Haldi and the rest of the things are in the car. And Harsh, after you guys return back just call the event manager for the reception and...

Harsh: Anjana. Chill. We will manage. You do not need to be tensed.

Anjana: Huh. There is a lot of work to do. Now you guys go ASAP.

In Siddique House.

Mahi in her mind: I have to do this ASAP.

The Haldi was kept on the table. She very carefully took the haldi bowl and went to a room.

Mahi: Now you will know what happens jab koi mere raaste mein aye.

Mahi mixed a bottle of itching powder in the haldi and very carefully placed as it was before.

In Zoya's room while she was getting ready.

Noor to Roshnaq: Ammi. App log na Appi ko besan lagan a face pe. Kyunki agar haldi lagayi then face pe yellow stain reh jate hain na.

Roshnaq: But wo to sirf kuch hi ghante ke liye rehte hain.

Noor: Phir bhi Ammi. Agar dag nahi gaya to...

Roshnaq: Accha fine. To phir main besan le ati hoon.

Noor: G.

Everyone applied Haldi on Zoya's back, hand, legs and applied besan on face only for show off.

After 2 to 3 min.

Zoya in her mind: Ye hume itni itching kyun ho rahi Hain.

Zoya: Ammi. Hume na bohat itching ho rahi Hain jaha jaha Haldi lagi hui Hain.

Mahi in her mind: Abhi asli khel shuru Hoga.

Roshnaq: Huh? But why..

Zoya cried: I don't know Ammi. Ouch. I am feeling burning sensation.

Roshnaq panickingly took a cloth and soaked with water and rubbed it on Zoya where Haldi was being applied on hers.

Roshnaq: Ya Allah. Noor, jaldi doctor ko bulaiye. Jaldi.

Zoya in her mind: How did this happen? And I have no allergy of Haldi. Then did Aditya....

Roshnaq: Ya Allah. Who would do this such task.

Noor quickly informed Arjun.

In Hooda House.

Arjun: Ma. Ma. (The Haldi incident).

Anjana: O my God. But how.... It was pure Haldi.

Arjun: Where is Bhai?

Aditya just came from upstairs.

Aditya: Here I am. What happened?

Arjun: Bhai. Wo Zoya Bhabi ......

Aditya: What? Let me go there then.

Anjana: But ADI. Shadi se pehle ye abshagun hotha Hain ladki ki muh dekhna.

Aditya: Lekin Ma. Zoya ki is halat. Ye bhi to abshagun hi Hain na.

Anjana: Plz ADI. Aur waise bhi main aur Arjun ja rahe hain Na.

Aditya: Par Ma.

Anjana: ADI plz.

Aditya disheartenly: Okay fine.

In Siddique House.

Doctor: I guess someone has put itching powder in haldi.

Wasim: I can't understand that who would do such disgusting things.

Noor to Arjun: I think that Mahi has done it.

Arjun: But why would she?

Noor: Cuz she can't tolerate Appi's happiness. Allah Jane isse kis waja se invite kiya.

Arjun: Calm down Noor.

Doctor: Here is an ointment. Apply this in these places for 2 to 3 days.

Zoya nodded.

Harsh: I guess we should investigate right who has done it.

Anjana: Exactly. Nahi to wo baar baar agar aisi harkat e karega.

Harsh: Let me take care of it. I will investigate about it.

Mahi in her mind: Oh no. Now... I should leave.

Mahi quietly left.

At 5 o clock.

Aditya texted her.

Aditya: How are you now?

Zoya saw the text.

Zoya: Fine.

Aditya: I would come but cuz of this freaking rituals I could not.

Zoya: It is ok. Moreover I am completely fine now.

Aditya: Huh.. I know how much fine you are. Noor told me how you were crying when she applied the medicine.

Zoya: Arreh. Noor to kuch zyada hi bada ke bolti hain.

Aditya: 😒😒. OK now you take rest. I just can't tolerate that humari shaadi ke din hi.... Huh. Just hope that shaadi thik thak se ho jaye.

Zoya: Hmm. Accha Ammi hume bula rahi hain. Hum chalte hain. Bye.

Aditya: Bye ❤️

The text ended.
