Enduring Ally

Chapter 33 : Drowned into each other

Aditya held on to his chest as if he is having heart attack. Zoya laughed at him and said, "Your stunts will never work on me". He tried to say something but Zoya cuts him off, "Just wait for sometime, I'll just finish my bath and get ready. I'll be back in 15 minutes". She said that and went inside her room.

Aditya looked around and went into the kitchen to make coffee for him. Almost after 15 minutes, he heard the Zoya's room door opening. He saw Zoya was wearing a formal suit. He has seen so many women in formal suits but no one looked gorgeous and sexy as Zoya in the suit.

She smiled at Aditya who is finishing his coffee. He smiled back and stood up. Zoya took the cup from him and went to the kitchen to clean it.

When she was back, Aditya was near the door with her bag and lunch box in his hand. She ran to him and tried to grab it from him but, he stopped her and said, "No problem, I'll take it for you. You just wear your shoes and open the door. Let's leave and I have a meeting with our client in another 40 minutes".

They both locked the door and got inside his car. On the way, Aditya didn't open his mouth, he just then & there answer his calls in Bluetooth and was looking at her sometime.

Once they reached the office, he dropped her and went to the client's meeting. Zoya couldn't understand what happened she was lost in thoughts thinking whether did she say anything wrong or did something that hurt him? As she couldn't figure out, she immersed herself with her work and busied herself.

Around lunch time, Arjun came to her cabin and sat in front of her but, she was unaware of his presence too.

"Zoya... Bhabhi", she looked at him startled. "Arjun... You scared to the hell", Zoya said with terrified tone. "Hello, I knocked and came inside then I sat opposite to you and you're saying I scared you. What happened to you?" he asked.

"Sorry I'm not aware, I was little busy with the work", she said with a sigh. She didn't want Arjun to know she was not okay as she herself didn't know what happened. Everything was fine and all of a sudden Aditya was behaving bit odd. He didn't talk to her in the car or he didn't message after dropping her and most of all she didn't know what she did to Aditya to behave odd.

"Well... It's okay... I just came here to ask whether you're coming for lunch today or going to have lunch with Bhai", he said. "Arjun, actually I made lunch for us. I made his favourites Aloo Paratha and Pea Pulov, but I think he is still in meeting. He didn't answer to my text or calls. I'm waiting for him", she whined.

"Stop whinning, he'll call you back and FYI... Pea Pulav and Aloo Parathas are my favourites too... Thanks for asking me" Arjun said and stood up to leave. "Okay, I'll just get going... Arshad will be getting restless... He is waiting for us in the Cafeteria..." with saying that he left her cabin.

Zoya held her head with both of her hands on the table. She don't know everything around are going weird from the morning. First, it was Aditya and now it's Arjun, both are upset with her and she doesn't know what to do about it.

Her cabin door opened and Aditya stormed in while saying, "Hey... I'm totally hungry and I can't wait anymore... I need to eat someth..." and he stopped looking at Zoya and the way she was sitting.

"Zoya... What happened? Is something wrong? Did anyone say anything to you?" he stacked the questions. Zoya was looking at him perplexed. As he was talking to her as if nothing happened all day, she just looked at him and said nothing. So, Aditya asked her again now cupped her cheeks with his both hands, "Zoya... What happened? Why're you looking so tensed?"
