Before they could think, all the three, Aditya, Zoya and Arjun were on flight back to Bangalore. Aditya was deep on thoughts and he came back to reality when Zoya asked, "What happened? What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing" he said and held on to Zoya's hand tightly. He went back to his thoughts, he was thinking about what Harshawardhan said during lunch and then about marrying Zoya. But he has to tell Zoya about his past even before thinking about marrying her.
Soon enough they landed in Bangalore Airport and Aditya booked a cab for them. Zoya asked him to book a separate cab for her as it'll take them another hour to reach home from hers. But Aditya didn't agree to what she said and all hailed the cab.
Arjun sat in the front and Aditya and Zoya in the rear seat. They dropped Zoya first, Aditya helped her with her luggage and once they were inside. Zoya hugged him and said, "Thank you for this trip... I really had a nice time in Mumbai" He hugged her back and said, "Thank you for coming into my life and making it wonderful". Both smiled.
He kissed her good bye, "Don't forget... To wake up next to me", he said before leaving out the door. Zoya laughed and said, "Goodbye, Aditya... See you tomorrow in office".
After Aditya left, she thought to herself, now a days kissing each other has become their thing. It doesn't feel awkward. When she changed to her night dress and hit the bed. She sighed and said to herself hugging a pillow, "To wake up next to me" remembering the words Aditya said to her.

When Zoya woke up, she couldn't stop herself from smiling. She went to the kitchen and made lunch for two. She now knew what Aditya likes to eat and what is his favourite dish? She decided to cook one of Aditya's favourite dishes for lunch, Pea Pulov and Aloo Paratha.
Once she packed the lunches for them and when she went to take the bath she heard the door bell. In a hurry, she ran to the door to check. When she opened the door, to her surprise, Aditya was standing at the door in his usual black formal suit and sunglasses.
He looked at her with awe and said, "Are you still in your night dress? Don't tell me that you planned to take off today?" Zoya folded her hand and said, "Are you going to come in or going to stand there and give your imaginations a ride without letting me talk?"
"Oh... yeah... Sorry..." he said and get inside and she closed the door. When he was inside, he found the lunch box at the dining table. He looked at the box and then at Zoya and then he gestured to her to the box. "I cooked today, thought I'll surprise you and that's why I'm still in night dress. Okay, tell me what you are doing here?" she asked.
"I came here to pick you up to the office", he said while pulling her close to him by her waist and put his hands around her waist. "Aditya..." she screamed and tried to get out of his hold. "Aditya... leave me... I have to get ready... and I'm getting late..." Zoya whined.
"Hello... madam... did you forget that I'm your boss... then why do you have to worry about getting late when I'm with you..." he said with a chuckle. "I'm like that... I cannot just take advantage even if the boss is my husband..." she said and then bit her lower lip. "What did you just say?" He asked her and she lowered her head.
Aditya held her head by her chin and asked again, "Husband? Huh!!" she didn't respond to him. He chuckled and said, "That's pretty intense. I didn't think you think me as your husband already" then planted a kiss on her forehead. Zoya cleared her throat and said, "I didn't say it like that... I said it as reference. I never said that you're my husband or something like that" and she pulled away from his hold.
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?"
Zoya still looking at him astonished, "You don't know what happened? From morning you're the one who is behaving oddly and you're asking what happened to me? From the moment we left house you didn't talk to me and you just dropped me here. After that you didn't answer to my calls or even replied to my texts and you came here... and... and... and acting as if nothing happened. I'm going mad thinking all morning what I did that made you behave like this and here you're asking me what happened as if nothing happened", she poured her heart out.
Aditya scratched his forehead with his index finger and said, "Ummm... I'm sorry... I didn't realize my mood would affect you this much. And the whole morning I was busy with the meeting and totally skipped my mind. I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to..."
"Just tell me what I did that changed your mood", she asked pleadingly. "You didn't do anything... It's me... It's my fault..." he said and hugged her. She felt the comfort and all the pain she endured from morning just drained away. "What do you mean?" she asked. He hesitated for a moment but then he decided to say the truth, "Zoya... I'm sorry... I don't know how to hide but at that time if felt appropriate by not looking at you or talking to you", he paused and she lift at her head and looked at him. He continued, "When... I saw you... coming out of your room in this suit... I felt I never seen anyone so gorgeous and sexy like you... And for moment... just for a moment I felt the urge to pick you up and take you inside to rip that suit and..." he stopped. Zoya is now looking at him with open mouth.
"I'm sorry... at that time... not looking at you and not being near you seemed appropriate than doing something inappropriate..." he said embarrassed. "Aww... I'm so sorry... I didn't know that..." she said and then whispered in his ears, "So you were turned on" and giggled.
Aditya looked horrific and was unable to say anything. She had a nice laugh at his cost. He tried to stop her from laughing but Zoya didn't seem to stop. He catches her by her hands and then slowly stepped forward and she stepped backward till her back hit the wall. They were inch apart and he slowly opened her suit's button. Zoya now stopped laughing then he started to open her shirt's button one by one.
Now its Zoya's turn to look horrific and stopped him further by holding his hand. "What happened, Zoya? Don't you want to laugh now? Why did you stop laughing now? Laugh nah... Laugh nah..." he said and he started to tickle her in the waist.
"Aditya... Stop... Stop... please..." Zoya said between her laughs. Both laughed together while both tried to tickle each other.
When they couldn't laugh anymore as both of their stomach aching from the laugh and hungry, they sat at the couch next to each other. Aditya noticed still her shirt is open and he put on the buttons and kissed on her cheek.
"Zoya... I'm so hungry... I would eat an elephant now... that hungry..." Aditya said. Zoya took the lunch box and gave it to him. He opened the lunch box and started to eat the Pulav, it was so tasty and he looked at her. She was looking at him the way he was eating. He then, gave a spoon to her, she ate the food. The taste was yummy, she tapped her shoulder with pride. Both feed each other and a pair of eyes was looking at them, with jealously and anger through the gap in the door.
***
Finally that day arrived; Zoya woke up to Aditya's call. She answered and he said from the other end, "Happy Valentine's Day, Zoya". Zoya smiled and said, "Happy 1st Valentine Day, Aditya" then she heard him kissing over the phone.
"Okay, I'll see you at office", Zoya said and was about to disconnect the call. "Hey, open the door, I'm at your doorstep", he said. "What?" she exclaimed and ran to open the door. When she opened the door, he was standing there with roses in his hand and he was in usual black suit.
He came in and hugged her before she could say anything. Then, he gave the roses to her and kissed her cheek. "Thank you" she said and put the flowers in the vase.
"What are you doing at this hour?" she asked. "Nothing... it's just that... I wanted to spend the whole day with you", he said with chuckle. "What?" she exclaimed. "Don't you want to go to office?" she asked.
"No, we will go to office too... But we will spend the day together... Every minute... Every second" he said. "Aditya... Don't be childish... What will others think, if they, see us together? How will you manage that? What will you say to them?" she stacked questions.
He whispered something in her ears and she asked, "Ohh... I didn't think in that way... Okay, so you're here, just tell me what do you want for lunch?" He pulled her close and said, "We're going to celebrate our 1st Valentine's Day grandly. I have reserved a table for lunch already in The Leela Palace. Will decide where to spend our time for dinner later?" He pushed the strands behind her ears and cupped her cheek.
Zoya looked at him and he looked at her. Slowly they closed the gap and kissed slowly and passionately. He lifts her and took her to the bedroom, without breaking the kiss. He put her down and breaks the kiss. He made her sit at the end of her bed and said, "I'll be back, just wait here and don't move". He half walked and half ran to the living room. After sometime she heard the front door closed and locked.
He came back with a huge bag in his hand and gave to her. She opened to see, a red saree with black border and matching blouse. A necklace box, a thin line with diamonds and matching earrings, she can see the shine on it.
He looked at her with excitement, "Do you like it?" he asked. "I just love them... All of it", she said with equal excitement. "I chose them for you..." he said. She hugged him tightly. "Thank you... I loved them", she said.
"Okay... you go and get ready... I'll wait outside..." he said and turned to leave. "Aditya... You can wait here I'll be back", she said and went into bathroom. After 20 minutes, she came out with bathrobe and tied the towel in her head.
Aditya looked at her and said, "Zoya... you look stunning..." Zoya smiled and said, "Aditya... I'm yet to change the dress... This is just the bath robe..."
"I know... but still you look stunning in the bathrobe..." he said. "God!!! Some times you're too cheesy!!!" she said. He smiled and said, "You get ready, I'll wait outside..."
"Aditya, someone said to me that he wants to spend the day with me every minute and every second but he is saying that he wants to get away", she said. "You can wait here. I'll get ready dressed in the bathroom", she added and went into the bathroom with the dress.
After few minutes, she came out wearing that saree and she has dried her hair too. Aditya looked at her with open mouth. He was speechless with her beauty and he just looked at her only. Zoya came near to him and closed his mouth with a smile.
She took the necklace and earrings to wear it. He helped her wearing it and he didn't say a word. He was unable to find words to express his feelings. "Shall we?" she asked and he came back to his senses. He nodded and stood up. He gestured her to wait and searched for something in the dresser. Finally when he found the Kajal, he put the Kajal behind her ear.
They both locked her house and get into the car. Just before starting the car, Zoya asked, "How do I look?" "I'm speechless... I don't know how to tell... You're more than stunning... I don't have words to tell you... How beautiful you're..." he said and kissed her cheek.
Zoya smiled and said, "Thank you... I'm impressed... Shall we go?" He nodded and they headed to DMG.
