Zoya woke up with the biggest smile on her face the next morning.She had made a friend for the first time in her life.Somehow she felt extremely protected around Aditya .She felt safe,calm and secure.Zoya felt herself blushing and said to herself 'Wow, so Zoya Siddiquie  is blushing and gushing over a new found friend. Didn't see that  coming'. She laughed at her own goofiness and went to get dressed.
She greeted Arjun at the breakfast table by which Arjun was a little taken aback. He said 'Ma'am today we have that big meeting with the Raichands.If we can impress them we will amass a huge fortune.'
Zoya  said 'Arjun , Zoya Siddiquie  never fails to impress. Get ready to congratulate me yet again'
Arjun heaved a sigh of relief, his employer was still as arrogant as ever. When she had greeted him with a smile for a moment he was scared something was wrong with her.He suddenly remembered that he had to say something else to Zoya. He said 'Ma'am, the entire buildings lifts and elevators have broken down and we would have to use the stairs today'
Zoya looked aghast and said 'Arjun I live in the only pent house apartment of this building and that is situated on the 22nd floor. You honestly mean to say that I have to climb up and down stairs?'
Arjun said 'Yes, Ma'am. But if you want we can just go to the roof where our chopper is situated and you can leave for office in that'
Zoya  thought for a minute and then said 'No, I will drive and go. It's too much trouble with that chopper'
Zoya put the last bite in her mouth took her work essentials and left.
While she was on the fifteenth floor , she bumped into Aditya.
She said 'Good Morning Aditya. What are you doing here ?'
Aditya was panting and said while gulping air 'Ms.Siddiquie, I mean Zoya. I had come to get started on the decoration of your apartment to make it wedding ready. My men are downstairs with all the goods'
Zoya  took out her bottle of water and gave it to him. She said 'Have this and why don't you wait to catch up with your breath for some time'
Aditya looked grateful and drank the entire contents of the bottle in one swig. He muttered thanks and suddenly  without any warning fell down clutching his chest. Zoya screamed 'Adityaa'
'Aditya  are you okay ?'
Adi didn't move. His breath was getting deeper and shallower. Beads of perspiration has filled his forehead. Zoya looked around and found that no one could help her. She picked up Aditya in her arms, was about to lose her balance but caught herself in time and headed upstairs to her apartment as fast as she could.
She took out her key card and rammed it inside the slot and hurried in. She called for Arjun while taking Aditya  to her bedroom.
Arjun came and she said 'Get , Dr.Arora here ASAP. Go quickly, call him.'
Zoya splashed some water on Aditya's face. Nothing worked. Aditya looked worse than he had when he was downstairs. She checked his pulse , it was dropping. She was desperately looking for a way to regain Aditya's consciousness. And then she heard footsteps. Dr.Arora had arrived with Arjun. She ran to him and told him everything that had happened with c very quickly. Dr.Arora went to Aditya, he gave him an electric shock using a defibrillator. He also used an injection and injected a medicine. He then turned to Zoya after half an hour. He said 'He suffered from a cardiac arrest due to less oxygen reaching his heart. He already suffers from hypertension. As you said , I guess it was due to the fact that he climbed those stairs. I think even you should keep a defibrillator at your home and learn to use it. Had I come after some time this matter could have been serious'
Zoya who was in near tears now , mentioned her thanks and paid him his fees. She then sat down on the chair beside the bed that Aditya was on. Arjun said 'Ma'am, that meeting with the Raichands is due in an hour'
Zoya  said 'Cancel that Arjun. I can't leave him alone in this state. Let him feel a bit better
And in the meantime contact his family and tell him he will be here today. Tomorrow the lifts will be functional again and I will drop him at his house.
Arjun said 'But the Raichands ma'am? You worked so hard for that deal. And we are here to take care of Mr.Hooda'
Zoya said 'Arjun do as you are told. I don't want any arguments'
Arjun didn't say anything and did what he was told. He came and informed that The Hooda's were thankful for what Zoya had done for Aditya and they would be extremely happy if they could express their gratitude to her tomorrow in person'
Zoya nodded and signalled Arjun to dismiss himself.
It was around midnight when Aditya woke up. He groaned with pain when Zoya took his hand and said 'Careful now. Let's not hurry and get hurt again'
Very slowly she hosted him up and made him sit with his back supported by a pillow.
She said gently 'How are you feeling now? I will take you to your house tomorrow. Rest here for the night'
Aditya said in a a weak voice 'You saved me Zoya , I owe my life to you. I can't thank you enough'
Zoya said 'You don't have to but you have to promise to look after yourself. Are you hungry. Would like some soup ?'
Aditya said 'Yes Please.'
As Zoya was leaving when Aditya  held her hand to stop her and said 'You seem so tired. Were you awake the whole day looking after me'
Zoya said 'You were my responsibility Aditya ,and Zoya Siddiquie doesn't shy away from responsibilities. Now save your breath and rest'
Aditya saw her leave the room and thought to himself 'Indeed it was a lucky day when he had met her at Mr.Sharmas office. She was truly unusual'
