Unguarded passion

"Hey Aditya," with a certain accent Noah called him behind as he was returning from the market.

"i heard you the other day you are leaving the place," he said as soon as he came in hearing line.

"yeah, shifting to my home town." he forced a smile on his face.

"Oh... we didn't interact often but we'll miss you," he said giving a light slap on his back.

" Even me, Thank you for all the times, Noah," he replied with eyes beaming a genuine smile.

"what about your lady love? did she agree?" he winked on him.

"that is one more reason to shift back," he assured him.

"come here for a honeymoon then," this man was the only thick trunk Aditya has earned in this city for all the years he was here.

"good idea actually!! I'll try my luck for her to agree, she is sometimes tough to buzz." his dimples were visible as he thought about the last interaction he had with her.

"she would..." he hoped before taking the stairs to his house.

"i understand you Zoya," he whispered hugging the leather jacket to himself.

"I wanted the whole house to get painted but it won't look nice Shail, right now I don't want people to do more gossips." looking at the walls of Aditya's room Anjana told Shail.

"Yeah Bhabhi, you are right but are you sure Zoya and Aditya would be fine with these developments?," Shail asked suspiciously.

"they would be living together Shail, now they have to agree with these developments." taking away the mattresses Anjana replied.

"it would take two days to get it painted and reshaped... I was thinking to complete the shoppings afterward because once Zoya comes back it would be tough Bhabhi."Shail told the plans.

"Yeah, you are right.Why are they taking unnecessary time, these workers na... give as much money they want, they will do what they want to." huffing Anjana mumbled furiously.

"You look busy Mrs. Hooda?" the voice surprised as well as took them off guard.

She very well remembered that one phone call which came with the news of the accident and now today they were again at her door.

"police !!!" Shail whispered under her breath.

"We have located the lost phone of Mr. Yash Hooda, We want to return it to you." the officer said humbly.

"oh," suddenly the accident night was there.

Anjana felt her heartbeats running erratically, her palms were getting sweaty, it seemed one more time something was being snatched away from her.

"Bhabhi, calm down." Shail came to her rescue seeing her colorless face.

"i am fine Shail," with that she took the torturing steps and took the phone.

"This should not come in sight of Zoya," she thought, caressing the broken screen of the phone.

"Zoya, you didn't meet Sharma Ji's grandson?" Vivek was surprised."every evening it is him only who takes Kavya for a ride..."

"oh, I couldn't recognize him," she answered with no light in her voice.

"what happened my daughter, you look dull?" perhaps her distress was visible on her face.

"it is not like that Abbu, I am alright." taking the clothes from the cloth line in their lawn she muttered.
