"What is going on? I am confused. Can anyone relate?"

"We cannot loose AdiZa this soon. What the hell is wrong?!"

"Seems like AdiZa were together and they just broke up! Noooo! This shouldn't happen. Please AdiZa confirm. Any one of you, please say that everyone is wrong!"

"Guys, instead of just guessing what has went wrong, go and pray. It's their life, let them sort whatever it is."

"What if they have sorted it to be this way only?"

"It is crystal clear that things aren't smooth between our AdiZa. Aditi has done something which has hurt Zain a lot. But what? She isn't showing up. No post, no Story! Where are you Aditi? At least clarify or we'll die!"

Tears brimmed in her eyes as she read all those comments of fans and all those stories and reposts. AdiZa fandom was going mad. Why wouldn't they? Zain has done something that was unexpected. Just as it was a shock for her, it bursted as a bomb on the FD. So many what ifs were eating them up, they couldn't make up what exactly Zain wanted to say.

She sighed and rubbed off her tears immediately. She had to be strong. Her eyes again traveled to the screen and she kept on reading those what ifs only to understand herself what Zain wanted to convey.

"Zain is so confusing. The post meant that you don't stop loving someone after their betrayal or something. He wanted to be sort of clear that he still love her. We don't know who this 'her' is. But then the caption snatched our worlds. It shows that Aditi has done something for which he is feeling betrayed and now he is trying to move on. This means that the post was for Aditi too. We can make up that they were in a love relationship. This 'were' hurts. But what has Aditi actually done? What is it? Guys, we can just pray that its no big thing and they sort it out soon. We want 'good friends' back. Mr Tight Lipped and Ms No Comments, please stop giving us major heart attacks."

This made sense. This actually made her understand that Zain can never be so harsh. Especially to her.

Wow! He actually wanted to tell her that he never stopped loving her. She saw the brighter side. Though she was hurt, eventually she realized that it was her mistake actually. Karma was biting her back. And she was very sure of one thing, he still loved her. He will always do, no matter how hurt he is.

This made her smile. For the first time in these days, she smiled. Nevertheless, he was the reason for it too.

A tap on her shoulder startled her. She turned back to find her mother standing there.

"Everything irie?" Her mother asked and she faked a smile.

"Yes. Perfect mumma..!" She exclaimed.

"Why am I sensing something wrong?"

"Nothing mumma. I am alright. Don't worry" she lied perfectly.

"You cannot fool me" her mother stated, albeit clearly.

"It's just that I am missing everyone. I've spent such a long time with all of them. So yeah." Aditi told.

"Everyone or a certain Someone?" Her mother asked, knowing how suspicious AdiZa have been. After all, she was an AdiZa shipper herself.

"Huh?"

Her mother laughed out aloud. "How is he? You must be talking to him, right?"

"Uhmm.. Yeah! Fine. He.. he is fine, good." She fumbled.

"When are you giving me a good news?" She asked.

"Good news?" Aditi was confused.

"Areyyy! AdiZa? When am I going to get AdiZa?" She asked, laughing.

"Huh? Mummaaa? Ap bhi?" Aditi laughed.

"Chal. Neechy ajana. Dinner is ready." Saying so, she went down.

Aditi laughed bitterly,"AdiZa!" She was sarcastic.

"You'll probably never get AdiZa." A tear rolled down her cheek and she ran downstairs.

He took in the sweet scent of his surroundings, looking at the shining moon. The cool breeze hit him and he could feel her. His dark blue hoodie covered his face and to be on safe side, he had his face covered with a veil too. No one was there in the street at this hour, still he couldn't uncover his face. One wrong move and everything would be ruined. 

Looking at the house in front of him, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. Glancing at it one last time, he looked at his wrist watch. It was 11:50 exactly, ten minutes to go for the start of the new wonderful day.

Climbing onto the tree, he again glimpsed at the watch. It was now 11:55. Woah.! It took whole five minutes for him to climb the tree.

He clung on to the tree trunk and took out a bunch of fresh red roses from his extra enlarged pocket. He looked at his targeted window next to the tree before realizing that it was 11:59. 

Slipping the paper inside the window sill, he kept those roses on it, before tapping the window hard and jumping down. Looking hurriedly at his watch which showed exactly 12:00, he ran to hide behind the large wall just in front of the house. 

She heard the unusual knock at this time, that too on the window. It frightened her, but she walked up to it and opened it as quickly as she could. Sensing no one out, she looked here and there before she finally found those roses there with a paper beside them. 

She furrowed her brows but unknowingly and unintentionally, a beautiful captivating smile adorned her face. 

She caressed the bunch of roses. Opening the folded paper, she read,

"To the person reading this,

Always Remember, You're Talented. You're Amazing. You're Important. You're Special. You're Unique. You're Wonderful. You're Worthy. You're Irreplaceable. You're you You. You make a difference to the world by being just You. Don't change yourself for anyone. Be who you are, because You're Beautiful.

Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday. May this year of yours be filled with joy and happiness.

~ Love Anonymous "

She smiled. God knows how many times she had read that small paragraph in just hardly five minutes. Who is this person? This was the only question left in her mind. Oh yes.! It was her Birthday. It has to be beautiful. 

She looked at the most bright star on the sky," Zain.. One fact that I am very sure of now is that I am Beautiful. I don't know who this person is, but whoever he or she is, they have made a difference to me. I know I have to spend this birthday without you, but you're always here in my heart. This new year for me has started so beautifully, I really don't know what destiny has in store for both of us. One thing I am sure of is that I Love You and will always do."

This unknown person almost persuaded her that she is beautiful, she is special. She is her and she doesn't have to change for anyone. This was may be the first time she felt so peaceful and beautiful. Though she had felt it every time she was with Zain, it was different this time. May be because the person had been persuasive. 

Unable to hold on all those confusions, she placed the roses and the paper close to her heart.

He carefully examined each and every action of hers from a fair distance. He couldn't understand what she said, he knew she was talking to the star considering it to be someone. He was happy to see her happy. He had started her year beautifully. He felt proud of himself for being the reason of her smile, her happiness. 

***

The next morning, she woke up, the roses and the paper still held close to her. She smiled once again, but then a tear made it's way down her cheek as she realized it has to be without Zain.

She reminisced her last birthday on the sets of NK. She had come this far. She had left many people behind. All her friends, she missed them badly.

After freshening up, she sat on the edge of the bed, scrolling through her Instagram. Within the night only, lots of people had wished her including Poonam, Gulfam, Sanjay, Zaan, Nupur, Yusuf Sir, Rakesh Sir, Jahaan, Abhilash, Abhishek, many of the channels, and hundreds of her fans.

An urge to check his account forced her to type zainimam_official on the search. The purple ring around his profile photo indicated that there was his story. Checking the posts and finding none related to her, she tapped on the story with trembling hands only to find another shock.

Okay, so that's all.
