Chapter 3

"What it is Ajju?" He asks irritated.

Ajju eyes the phone in his hand Which is covered So that Zoya does not hear them ..

"Phone So?" Adi says confused , "

"Zoya " He mouths to Aditya ..

Adi stops dead on his tracks Widening his eyes he blinks as Arjun nods thrusting the phone into his hand and mouths to him

"Talk!".

"Hello , Is anyone there ?" Aditya hears her asking as He Keeps the phone near his eardrum

"Erm.." He makes a sound ..

"Is this Akansha's mother ? " She asks him before Adi could answer She continues

"Madam please Come and Get your daughter She is Left alone in the park",

Adi So lost in What to Speak wets his lips but before He could reply to her question the line goes off . "Shit!" He mutters hitting the phone on his forehead . Atleast in phone Can't you talk to her? He scolds himself mentally ..

Hearing his phone ring his eyes sparkles in unknown happiness He was about to swipe to answer but Stops Wondering What Is He suppose to speak?

"Hello Madam " Zoya speaks from the other side

"Hello " Adi whispers softly

"Is this Akansha's father ? , Sir please come get your daughter!" Zoya tells nervousness clear visible in her voice.

Adi looks down at himself Me a father? , First get me a girl He thinks of yelling at her instead he replies calmly "No I am not !",

"Then Who are you?" Adi could understand the nervousness in her voice .

"I am Ad---" He stops He cannot Say he is Aditya

"Dilpreet!" Adi says instead taking a deep breath making Ajju raises his brows. Adi ignores him walks towards a corner to speak to her.

"Dilpreet Nice name "

"So ?" Adi asks unsure . Hell What is he suppose to tell? Talk to the girl who gave a call mistaking him to be someone's mother ?

"Dilpreetji are you there?" Zoya asks unsure over the call .

"Dilpreetji?" He asks her amused

"Yes or Dilpreet Bha-"

Adi's eyes widens as he shouts over the phone " No Bhaiya ! , Call me Dilpreet "

"Okay!" Zoya replies confused hearing him shouting

Adi lets out a nervous laugh as he says "I got lot of sisters around , so do not want to add one more in !"

Zoya laughs from the other side , Adi closes his eyes sighing the same music which made him fall for her But now the same laughter is breaking his heart into pieces .

"So who is Akansha?" Adi asks diverting her .

"Akansha is a Kid When I came to the park I saw her alone crying when I asked She told She had lost her way asking her to give the number She gave this one Which turned out to be yours !"

"Ohh Is She crying even now?"

"Yes " Zoya tells panicking Looking at the little girl who is hugging her by her waist crying .

"Zoya calm down , Breath " Adi tells calmly trying to calm down his kitten .

"How am I suppose to be calm Dilpreet? , It is almost Dark and this Little one is crying so much"

"Zoya calm down first and put it on loudspeaker"

"Okay " Zoya says quickly unsure .

"Baby girl " Zoya hears Dilpreet speak to the little one . Her lips curve for an unknown reason hearing him .

The Little Akansha stops crying and moves back a bit from Zoya 's embrace and turns her head around trying to find the source of where the voice is coming from . Zoya points to the phone .

"Baby Girl , Isn't the Baby Girl a Superwomen? , Akshu aren't you a Big girl ? Big Girls Don't cry ! , Now tell me isn't Akshu a Big Girl? "

Akansha wipes her tears hearing Aditya " Yes I am a Superwoman , Yes Akshu is a Big Girl , She will not cry " She tells cheerfully making Zoya sigh in relief it is always easy to manage a kid who is naughty rather than a crying one .

"Yes Akshu is a Big Girl , tell Zoya didi too She thinks Akshu is not strong She keeps crying "

"Didi?" Akshu whispers shocked looking at Zoya while Zoya internally curses Dilpreet aka Aditya .

"Do you think I am not strong?" She asks holding her hips narrowing her brows . Zoya bites her tongue giving her a nervous smile .

"No no my Akshu is strong !" Zoya tells quickly making Aditya chuckle at the other end imagining her face .

Trying to save his kitten from the Little Women Aditya interjects "Akshu now tell me How did you get lost? Or did you come alone?"

"Bhaiya I .. I came with Mama and While She was buying vegetables I saw fireflies flying so I came running behind it and got lost , I want mama " Akshu starts crying . Zoya pats her back pulling her closer .

"Akshu What did I say Big Girls Don't cry?" Aditya says from the other end . Pulling the Phone down from his ears He sighs This is gonna be a hell of a task he got himself into first Speaking in another name and pacifying a child !.

"Yes I am not crying!" Akshu replies choking running her thumb across her cheeks .

"Now tell me What's your mama's number? " Aditya asks her calmly

"Mama's number I ..I ..Don't Bhaiya ...that is her number !" Akshu replies in her kittenish voice .

"Akshu baby can you tell again?" Zoya asks her this time again . Akansha looks at her for awhile and nods and proceeds to tell her the number .

"Zoya it is 2 at the end mine is 5 you have entered the last mistakenly " Aditya tells her

"Ohh" She replies with a fallen face .

"Okay Dilpreet it was nice talking to you , Now I should talk to her mother , Bye !" Zoya tells him quickly chirpily making his lips curve up remembering her actions before Aditya could answer The line goes off.

"Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho ... to puri kainaat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai (It saying that if you really desire something from the heart ..Then the whole universe will work towards getting you that )"

Arjun walks towards Aditya telling him seeing Adi playing with the phone in hand with a crest fallen face .

"You Know I am Her .. Leave it " Adi stands up heaving a sigh.

"Okay tell me Why did you lie?" Arjun asks crossing his hands over his chest .

"That..that .." He stutters , Arjun raises a brow .

"I Did not want her to know ever that a Man Named Aditya existed in her life " He tells with a heavy voice.

"Adi think twice Why would you get a call from her ?"

Adi cuts him off as he adds " Wrong Call !".

"Adi ..Man..Think ..this might pave way out for you!" Arjun tells and leaves behind a thinking Aditya .

Seeing his mind wandering in places where it should not , Aditya shakes his head "No I cannot cheat her , No way !" .

***

Aditya sighs for the hundredth time wondering why is here , Hiding behind a tree Looking at Zoya and that Little Girl sitting on Zoya 's Lap as She narrates a tale of Beauty and the Beast .

He grins like an idiot leaning to the tree with his arms crossed around his chest seeing his Little Kitten's expressive ways , The Amber orbs widening with each word , Her hands doing various movements in the air .

The Blush that adorned her face when talking about the Romantic Dance the Beauty and the Beast swayed to the melody was worth a watch for Aditya . Aditya starts grinning Like an idiot thinking how she would blush when he would – The Ring Flashes past his eyes making his lips curve down . He turns around unable to see her more which would cause an ache in his heart.

Hearing the Faint sound of the footsteps leaving . Aditya too walks forward without turning around knowing She had left after handing Akshu to her mother .
