Aditya pulls his hands from her waist instantly She feels the loss of warmth as She stares at him with an unknown emotion .He places his hands around her shoulders as He tells Yash Jovially

"I am Gonna try & Steal your Girlfriend " Making Their Mouths Form "O" Shaped !!

"What?" Yash Lets out a nervous laugh "You got a good sense of humor but it should not go overboard " He tells the last part with intense anger ,

"It just takes the fun out of life !" Adi repeats his words and continues "I am Gonna Try & Steal Your Girlfriend My Brother " He finishes with a evil smirk

Yash gets hold of his collar "How Dare you ?" .

The two glare at each other with fire burning in their eyes

"I Dare too! " Aditya replies underrated firmly

"I am not a commodity " She yells making them stop there intense staring session and turn to her .

She looks at them in anger "I am not a commodity to use or throw or sell to each other " She puffs out in anger .

Leaving the hold on Adi's collar He steps back as Zoya stands in the middle with two by her sides. She ties her hands across her chest throwing daggers at the two.

Fireworks goes off in the sky as Mohanji and Arjun walk in with a cake as they sing

"Happy Birthday Smacking Cinderella !".

She stares at them in awe as She laughs throwing her head back forgetting her anger smacking cinderella..

"Ajju!!" She yells excited throwing her arms around his neck as He stumbles a bit balancing himself and the cake in his hand

"You are the best I Love you " She shouts in happiness pulling away herself from him .

"What ?" Zoya hears a shocked chorus comes from behind her .

She turns around and narrows her brow at them

"U Love Him?" Again they ask in chorus with their eyes widen.

She wiggles her brows "Who will Not Love Ajju After all ? " She asks them clueless.

"Ajju?" Again Chorus .

Zoya chuckles "At least you both are getting into one word in this ! Haa Ajju Isn't the name cute ?" She asks nodding her head raising her brows showing her dimple teeth in delight with her chubby cheeks.

Adi and Yash look at each other astonished due to the sudden change in the atmosphere while Arjun gives a knowing smile as He turns Zoya around to face him

"So Cinderella ?"

"I Love you Superstar Arjun ..Nah Ajju is it okay with you?" She asks curiously as He shakes his head seeing her antics

"Ajju I watched one of your film overnight and I must say that was love & now your sweet gestures of wishing me you are the best just Like Noor says "

Arjun bites his inner cheek "Noor?" He asks curiously

"Yes..She is .." She stops halfway as She hears a deep sigh from behind .Adi and Yash had let out their breath they had been holding to .

Ajju takes hold of Zoya's hand and drags her to the table which is decorated with variety of dishes .Adi and Yash follow them behind sneering .

"Zoya Happy Birthday " Yash tells her grinning as She scrunches her nose

"Zoya come on yaar we were just playing "

"We?"

"Haa me and Aditya We thought to surprise you in our style but Aditya overacted " He tells her as Zoya looks at them not taking their lie .

Yash nods raising his eyes trying to make her believe while Aditya mutters under his breath "I was genuine!!" .

Arjun places the cake in the middle as He gives her the knife to cut .Zoya takes the knife in her hand nervously as She looks around for him .

"Zoya come on murder it " She chuckles due to Ajju's use of word .

She cuts out a piece taking it in her hand She feeds Arjun , then Mohanji & Yash .

Zoya sees Aditya Standing far away from them with his back turned around . Taking another piece She walks over to him as Yash looks at her annoyed .She stands in front of him as He looks at her with her hazel orbs glistening in an unknown emotion She takes the piece near his mouth .He looks at her lost in her features She is amusing Minutes ago She was all angry now ! ..His eyes travels down her She is wearing a white crop top with a black wavy skirt her hairs pulled and braided to a side with few fringes left out..She was all plain but her dimple cheeks with that heart fluttering smile..Alluring He would say .She blinks her eyes twice allowing her eyelashes to flutter like the wings of a butterfly bringing him back to his senses .

Her Dimple cheeks goes pink as She moves away from him .Luckily others were indulge in their works Mohanji & Ajju busy with setting the table whereas Yash was more intended to his phone.

"So How was my birthday surprise ?" Yash asks out of blue .Zoya looks up from her plate gobbling down the spaghetti ..She swallows it down as Adi grins seeing her antics

"What Surprise ?"

"Shopping & Dinner" Yash replies

Zoya turns around to look at Aditya remembering their intense anger no his anger in the washroom

"Good..Very Good " She replies stressing pressing her lower lip in a fake smile not taking her eyes of Aditya.

"But I would have preferred something simple " She tells him genuinely .

Taking this as a cue Yash turns his head to face Aditya "So what did you get for her ?"

Aditya puts the spoon back on his plate as Zoya looks at him curiously .An idea clicks in her as She pulls out her phone

"Aditya ..A Selfie as your Gift Okay?" She says jovially clicking on the camera app .

She takes their picture Aditya and Yash by her sides have a grumpy face and behind them Arjun and Mohanji Grin with their one hand up in the air around the table . #Mission Accomplished Eating together She pats herself mentally ..

Zoya clears her throat "It is not my Birthday !!"

They Look up away from their drool worthy food shocked .

"But it was this date in the diary" Arjun reasons as Zoya gives a lopsided grin

"I am sorry " She tells them cutely pulling her ears as they narrow their brows .

"I hid your charger knowing you would come to check on mine so I thought why not make today as my birthday as I know you guys will not disappoint me " She tells them slowly lowering her eyelashes as they scrutinize their eyes at her .

"Ohh.." Arjun tells sadly "But I arranged--" He trails off

Zoya cuts him in "This is the best I could ask for It wasn't my birthday today but I felt Special Ajju all thanks to you ..So I am gonna accept today as my Birthday " She tells with a smile .

Aditya gets up from his chair "So The Celebration is not valid I am Right ? So why I am here ?" He tells and bends his head down to Zoya's level as He whispers "Things are gonna get more and more amusing & thrilling" He blows air on her ears She feels tingles in her skin and Leaves the place .

He leaves her as She stares at him without blinking her eyes .He searches around for oil getting it.He holds her arm and makes her sit on the bed ..He pours some oil on the place where She points it's paining .He runs his finger through her hair stroking it slowly massaging her scalp as She closes her eyes his fingers does magic .Her grin widens seeing his care .After a good ten minutes of his therapy .She stands up from her place
