Another beautiful day in the hills.

There was a gentle fragrant breeze blowing.

And in these valleys many birds were chirping, as if they singing melodious song.

Hooda castle -

Zoya walks through the corridor to reaches Aditya's room. She also takes flowers of beautiful roses with her.

First Zoya knock the door and then she entered inside the room.

Aditya - Hey, Zoya you.

Zoya - Yes, it's me. Good morning, Aditya.

Aditya - Good morning, Zoya.

Zoya - Look outside, Aditya.
Today's day is a very pleasant day. isn't it.

Aditya - Yes, You are right.

Zoya - I know.

Zoya placed roses into the vase.

Zoya hold Aditya's hand and said - Come with me.

Aditya - But where?

Zoya - Ahh, you talk too much, don't ask any questions, please calm down & walk quickly.

Aditya - But Zoya, tell me once where we going?

Zoya and Aditya both came outside the castle.

Then Zoya takes Aditya in forest area.

Aditya - Zoya, please at least now tell me, why we have come here in early morning.

Zoya - Have patience, Aditya. There is still a little more to go, we have not reached yet.

Aditya surprisingly said, - What?

Zoya - what happened?

Aditya - I can't walk anymore. I'm too tired.

Zoya - Oh, Aditya. Don't act like little child.

Aditya - What are you saying? Is I'm behaving like a child. No, no Zoya I'm not but you behaving like arrogant teacher.

Seeing this actions of Aditya, Zoya smiles little.

Aditya - wait a minute. Why you smiling , Zoya.

Zoya - I'm not smiling.

Aditya - You said then okay.

Zoya - Come on, it's not too far , we'll reached there soon. Come give me your hand.

Aditya slowly gives his hand to Zoya and she softly held his hand & move forward.

Aditya silently without saying anything, walks behind Zoya.

Aditya ( in mind ) - What is this happening to me? Why do I feel as if I not in my senses. I know what this feeling is.
I love to hear everything about Zoya. She is very innocent and cute, that's why I never get angery on her. In one sentence - Zoya is my love and life ❤

Zoya and Aditya reaches at a very beautiful place. Aditya was very surprised to see that place. He could not believe that there was any such place in this forest.

Aditya - Zoya, this is such a beautiful place and how was I not know about this place.

Zoya - That's because it's my favourite place.
My aunt told me that when I was young ( 2 years old ) then I used to come here with my parents.

Aunt - Guruma.
Because Zoya was not want to tell Aditya the whole truth of Guruma.

She was also said to me, my mama - papa & me used to play hide and seek here.

As usual we all came here when I was lost my parents.

Aditya gets a little shock, when he heard this.

Aditya - what? But how?
What had happened to your parents. why they are no longer with you.

Suddenly Zoya remembers that Guruma said her how Aditya's mother Anjana had saved her.

Zoya (in her mind ) - If I told Aditya the truth of my parents death and if I told Aditya how his mother died while saving me, Aditya would start hating me.
When Aditya stop talking to me & he send me far from him then what will I do? No, no I won't let that happen. I will not tell anything to Aditya.

Aditya could not understand what had happened to Zoya?

Aditya - What happened, Zoya? Where are you lost.

Zoya - No where.

Aditya - So tell me now.

Zoya - About what?

Aditya - About your parents, how was you lose them. And after that how was you survive alone.

Now Zoya becames nervous and she start hesitating.

Zoya - Aditya, I.. I'm sorry I can't tell you anything.

Aditya - But why?

Zoya - Because I don't want to remember all those things again, it hurts me a lot. And this makes me feel all the time that I am all alone in this world.

Zoya becames little bit emotional and seeing Zoya like this, Aditya couldn't control himself & he hug her tightly.

Aditya - shh...Zoya, please calm down. You are not alone, I'm here for you.
Don't worry its okay, I understand you. If you don't want to tell me then it's fine.
But first you promise me if in future you feel unsafe or you was surrounded by any problems even that problem is small or big, without any hesitation you tell it to me. Okay, you understand what I'm saying?

Aditya extends his hand to take the promise from Zoya.

Aditya - what are thinking? Promise me, Zoya.

Seeing the trust in Aditya's eyes, Zoya gives her hand in Aditya's hand and said -

Zoya - I promise you, Aditya.

Both smiles.
