"What the hell are you doing in the Ladies Washroom Aditya?" She shouts angrily .

For A Moment She stops Remembering The Incident The Day before "Noo..Jahanpannah..I know it's Big..No Bigger ..Please Get out " She tells him hurriedly making Adi frown

"What is Big?"

Her eyes voluntarily travels down making him remember what She is talking about .

"Be Serious Woman" He snaps at her Continuing , "Why do you act so great aahh ? I was trying to change my opinion on you But you? What do you want expensive clothes & exquisite dishes ? Leave Him and Come to me Even I'll give you that ...Such a pathetic reason to come live In the Mansion " He tells her with utter disgust

"As your Girlfriend ?" She tells with a sarcastic smile making him stop "I do not have such shallow objectives Mr.Hooda..If I had to ..I do not think moving in is needed ! "

This gives a pause to the thought process of Aditya ..As She tells him back undaunted "My Grand Plan is to make you three a Family ".

Family! The word rings on his mind as He pushes her up against the washroom wall digging his nails into her soft skin making her yelp in pain "Don't Mess Around With Me !! There is a Limit I could Take" Inches apart from her face He gives his threat as Both Stare into each other angrily with angry hot tears threatening to spill from her hazel orbs .

Seeing that She is in pain He leaves her harshly pushing her back to the wall .Her head gets knock to the wall making her yelp in pain .Adi looks remorseful turning her around He inspects whether there is any injury caressing her hair using his fingers as She goes blank .He leaves her and Gets out.. Zoya looks at his retreating form angrily .Zoya takes a deep breath and rubs her arms "This is hell than my part time jobs!!" She moans out angrily .
