In Delhi.
A lady of mid 40s entered the room, where a beautiful girl of 22 was sitting, actually getting ready, wearing a simple yet elegant suit with a very light make up.

Roshnaq: Zoya beta, are you ready? His family has already came to see you.

Zoya turned from the mirror and saw her mother and spoke up.

Zoya: Yes Ammi. I have become ready.

Roshnaq: OK beta. Come then.

Zoya stood up and Roshnaq and Zoya went to the downstairs.

Wasim: Areh. Wo rahi humari bari beti, Zoya Siddique.

Zoya: Assalamualaikum.

The groom's side people: Wa alaikummas Salam.

Isha (Groom's mother): Ma Sha Allah. Your daughter is very pretty, Wasim Bhai.

Sadiq (Groom's father): I must agree. Last time I saw her when she was so little.

Wasim smiled at her daughter, who just had a small smile on her face.

After the Groom's mother asked some questions to Zoya, they decided to let the girl and the boy talk.

Zoya went to the garden with the boy. She was just quite and remembering how her father made her force in this wedding.

Flashback.
Today morning.

Zoya: Abbu plz. I really want to go to Mumbai and work for the Hooda Company. Plz Abbu. Even I had acchieved my degrees. Plz Abbu, plz let me fulfil my this wish.

Wasim: But Zoya. You have your own company right? After me, you and Noor are the one who will manage everything. Then?

Zoya: Abbu, hum agar kuch experience kar lenge to isme accha hi hoga na?

Wasim: You can practice in our office too right?

Zoya: Abbu, plz. Plz let me go to Mumbai and work for Hooda Company. Abbu humara bhi kuch apne liye karne ka man karta hain.

Wasim: But Zoya.

Zoya: Abbu plz. Hum apse darkhwast karte hain. Plz hume jaane dijiye. Hum jald hi wapas ajayenge.

Wasim: OK then fine. I will only fulfil your wish only when you will fulfil my wish.

Zoya: What is it Abbu?

Wasim: My friend's son, Arshad, is a doctor and I want you to marry him.

Zoya was flabbergasted. Did her Abbu just say to marry one unknown person and to be with him for the rest of her life? How can he do that? But she was left with no choice. She had to agree only to let her Abbu fulfil her wish.

Zoya: Fine. I will marry the person whom you will tell me to. But you also have to promise me something. That you will let me go to Mumbai and I will apply for job in Hooda Company.

Wasim: Okay fine. But why do you want to work for Hooda Company only?

Zoya: Abbu, THE ADITYA HOODA, who recently got the award for the youngest entrepreneur of the year. I want to learn from him and no doubt, Hooda Company is one of the best company in India.

Wasim: Okay okay. I understood. Now get ready. Arshad and his parents are coming today in the evening.

Was Zoya only going to Mumbai to work with Aditya Hooda's Company or may be she has some other motives? Something related to Aditya? But how can that possible. She doesn't even see Aditya in person to person or has she?

Flashback ends.

There was silence of 3 minutes until Arshad broke the ice.

Arshad: Hello. I am Arshad Ali.

Zoya's trances broke and finally plastered a smile, no no a fake smile and spoke up.

Zoya: Hello. I am Zoya Siddique.

Arshad: I am a doctor. And I guess you completed your studies in business management right?

Zoya: Yes.

Arshad: You may be know that our parents wants us to get married right?

Zoya nodded.

Arshad: So what is marriage for you?

Zoya: May be understanding, a little sacrifice?

Zoya was not sure of her opinion in marriage cuz she did not think earlier about this topic.

Arshad: Well yeah. This also needs in marriage. I basically think that marriage is a big part of our life. Cuz at least you are gonna spend your almost half of your life with that person. And for that love is very important. And we just met so I know we cannot decide so early. So obviously we need some time.

Zoya nodded. Arshad started talking about his likes and dislikes. Zoya tries her best to make herself interest in his talks but at the end of the day she would just make up her mind that she need to marry Arshad as per her Abbu says.

The evening was good and she enjoyed Arshad's family and Arshad's company.

The next day.
In Mumbai.
In Hooda Mansion.
A boy was seen sleeping like a cute baby with a pout only to be disturbed by her little brother who just barged in his room.

Arjun: Bhai Bhai. Bhai. Bhaiiiii.

Arjun literally screamed which made Aditya woke up with a jerk.

Aditya: What the hell Chote? Why do you need me to be woken up at this early morning?

Arjun: Early morning? Bhai. Seriously. Do you find 10 o clock as early morning?

Aditya: 10 o clock?

Arjun: Yes my dear elder bro. Just check the time. I guess there is a clock in your room.

Aditya: Shoot. Arjun. Where is Ma? She should have woken me up.

Aditya stood up from the bed and took his clothes to take shower.

Arjun: Ma went to temple. She told me to wake you up but as I was playing games, I did not know when it striked to 10.

Aditya smacked behind Arjun's head.

Arjun: Ouchh.

Aditya: For you. Today I am going to be late.

Arjun: Can't you keep an alarm?

Aditya: Shut up. Aren't you getting late?

Arjun: No. Today I am not going to firm.

Aditya: Why?

Arjun: Actually Paa....

Aditya did not want to listen about his so called cheater father early in the morning.

With that, Aditya went to have a shower. Arjun sighed and regretted taking his father's name, whom his brother hated so much in these 10 years.

After that Aditya left for his office without having his breakfast.
______________________________________

In Office.

As Aditya stepped on the floor, everyone stood up to greet him and a girl was following him or I say clinging to him. Yeah it was Mahi Arora.

Aditya and Mahi entered Aditya's cabin.

Aditya: Mahi, tell me the schedule for today.

Mahi: Sir, you have a meeting with the Sharma's in the afternoon and with the Virani's in the evening.

Aditya: Okay.

Aditya said working on his laptop.

Mahi: Sir did you have your breakfast?

Aditya looked at her: That is none of your business Miss Arora.

Aditya replied with a sweet smile not to speak rude.

Mahi in her mind: Hayeee ye smile. It will kill me one day for sure.

Aditya: Now prepare the presentations for today.

Mahi smiling: Okay Sir.

In a hospital.
A lady of mid 40s: You sure about it na beta?

Zoya: Yes Aunty. For me, all these happened. Now I am gonna pay back.

A lady of mid 40s crying: May God bless you beta. I will always be grateful to you.

Zoya: No Aunty. Plz. I should be grateful to her. Tomorrow I will set off for Mumbai. Just ap mujhe ashirvaad dijiye taaki mai mera Maqsad poora kar saku.

The lady nodded and kissed Zoya's forehead.

Noor: Appi. I am gonna miss you so much. With whom I am gonna share my all secrets.

Zoya: Noor. You can call me whenever you want. Okay? Ab humari Kohinoor agar Itni udaas hogi to hum kaise jayenge waha?

Noor: I will not be sad.

Noor wiped her tears.

Zoya: Attend your college regularly and study well. Okay?

Noor nodded like an obedient child.

Roshnaq: Zoya. Plz take care of yourself. And if you face any problem, don't forget to call me.

Zoya: G Ammi.

Wasim: Zoya beta. You flight is in 5 min. I guess you should go now. And I have arranged a house flat for you in Bandra. So be careful and there you will meet Madhu ji, she is like my sister. Her daughter, Mahi also works in Hooda Company. So it will be easy for you to stay and you can also go with her to office.

Zoya: Okay Abbu. And thank you for all this.

Wasim: Take care or yourself. Okay?

Zoya: G Abbu. Hum chalte hain.

The Siddiques bid bye to Zoya.

Zoya was sitting in the plane. Soon the plane took off.
______________________________________

In Mumbai.

Hooda Office.

Aditya was in the meeting with Viranis.

Aditya: Ok. So Mr. Virani. The deal is final?

Mr. Virani: Yes. Mr. Hooda. I will sign the deal. Hope the deal will be successful.

Aditya: Sure.

With that the Viranis left.

Aditya: Mahi. Did you prepared the lists of the new interns?

Mahi: Yes Sir. Some will join from tomorrow and some have interviews.

Aditya: Okay.
______________________________________

In the evening, Zoya landed in Mumbai. She took a cab and went to that address which his father gave to her.

Zoya pressed the calling bell.

A lady opened the door.

Madhu: Aa Zoya?

Zoya: G.

With that Madhu hugged Zoya.

Madhu: Plz come in beta. I have prepared everything for you.

Zoya: Shukriya aunty.

Madhu explained all the things and made Zoya comfortable in the house.

Madhu: Beta, get fresh. I will make coffee for you.

Zoya: G Aunty.

Mahi also returned to home.

Mahi: Ma. Has Zoya come?

Madhu: Yes. She is there.

Madhu is a sweet lady, works in a government office. But Mahi did not like Zoya since they met for the first time. She thought Zoya would do everything for attention. Basically attention seeker.

Zoya came from the her room and greeted Mahi with a smile, which Mahi fakely smiled and replied.

Mahi: Zoya. You have a interview in our company right?

Zoya: Yeah. I just hope it get better.

Mahi: Yeah. But be careful. You know Adi only likes talented people.

Zoya: Adi?

Mahi: Aditya. I call him Adi actually. You know we are such good friends.

Zoya: Oooh.

Madhu: Zoya, Mahi. Come have your dinner.

In Hooda Mansion.
Aditya entered the house after a long hectic day and was about to go to his room until her father called.

Harsh: Adi.

Aditya: Areh Mr. Hooda. Bohat Dino baad. Kaisa tha apka trip?

Sarcasm was dripping in every words.

Harsh: I was not in a trip Adi. I was out for some work.

Aditya: Exactly. For "some work" which I don't care. Why did you call me?

Harsh: This is how you talk to your Father?

Anjana came at that moment.

Anjana: What happened Harsh. Why you are shouting like that.

Harsh: See how your son is behaving with me.

Aditya: Exactly Mr. Hooda. Ma's son not yours. So plz leave me alone and don't call yourself as a father. You have only one son, Arjun. Not Aditya.

With that Aditya left from that place and went to his room.

This was like "roz ka drama".

Harsh went to his bedroom and Anjana also followed him. Harsh sat on the bed and was feeling so low of himself.

Anjana sat beside him and tried to console him.

Harsh: Anju, I know what I have done is wrong. I should not let you guys alone. I should not have an extra marrital affair. But I realised my mistake right? I am extremely sorry for that. But Adi. Whenever I try to talk with him nicely, he only treats me as an outsider.

Anjana: Harsh. Sambhaliye apne Apko. Everything will be fine. I will talk with Adi.

Harsh: How many times Anju? He will never call me as his father. Never.

With that Harsh was weeping.

Anjana tried to console and prayed to her God to keep everything fine.
