Hi guys. So another update is here finally. Just to remind once more, its purely imaginative. Let alone some of the real incidences, but they are made up their own way too.

Happy Reading.

She slapped him hard across his face, tears making their way down her cheeks. He rooted to his spot while she grabbed his collar shouting, "Why?!"

She fell down on her knees suffering through all the pain she had. He squeezed his eyes seeing her like that. He sat down beside her and hugged her tight, clinging onto her like there's no tomorrow.

And they heard, "Cut. That was so natural guys. Superb." She quickly came out of his embrace before walking towards her room only to be followed by him.

"Aditi." She heard him say. She turned around and smiled at him.

"Woh. We're going out for dinner tonight. Abhilash will join us actually. So, will you?"

"I'm sorry. I can't. You go, enjoy." She replied, smilingly.

"Do you seriously think I would enjoy without you?" He spoke, twisting his lips.

"Uhm. You should go Zain." He stepped inside the room and closed the door behind him. Cupping her cheeks, he called out, "Adu..."

She interrupted, "Don't call me that. He used to. You named me Adi na? Call me Adi then. That's for you only." He smiled and began,"Okay my Adi. Why don't you socialize yourself? Hmm? You know you're an actress. Your fans expect a lot from you. You don't hang out with friends, you don't attend the award shows, you don't attend any parties. Why do you hide the real Aditi inside you? Don't tell me it's because you're an introvert because mein bhi introvert hun, may be even more than you're. But to make your career strong, you need to socialize. Even you don't post pictures and status on social media. I want an answer Adi? Why do you do all this?"

She sat down on the bed followed by him, "I can't handle this Zain. You know, Shreeedhan, he used to tell me that I am not beautiful and I look so weird in the pictures. He told me not to post any of my pictures on any of my account. Other girls, they are beautiful and I am no..."
Zain stopped her in the middle, "You're beautiful."

Aditi tried to speak amidst the pool of tears,"Even after I'm broken?"

"Yes. Because that's not your mistake. right? He broke you. And I promise, I'll fix you up." He spoke, tugging her hair behind her ears.

She smiled as he hugged her, losing himself in her scent.

"So you're coming, right?" He asked, pursing his lips.

"Of course. Kon kon jaraha hai?" She nodded.

"Poonam, Gautam, Jahaan, Nupur, Me and You." He replied, pulling away.

"Gulz?" She asked, licking her lips.

"She will not come. She said she is busy somewhere." He answered. She hummed getting up.

"Chalein?" He asked, glancing sideways

"Let me change." She began walking towards the washroom

"No. Don't change please. You are looking pretty in this cute sa Avni type off shoulder top."

"Ahaan. But this is Aditi's, not Avni's!" She smirked lightly.

"Hmm. Ab zyaada baatein na banao."They began walking out.

"Acha. Mein baatein bana rahi thi?" She smacked his shoulder.

"Of course. Tou mein bana raha tha kya?" He teased her, adopting a bored expression.

"Bilkul. You're the most talkative." She laughed, knowing that she just lied.

He looked at her, how he craved to see and hear her laugh in all these days. He stared at her for quite sometime before her eyes traveled to his jeans' pocket. Her eyes sparkled in excitement leaving him confused. She quickly grabbed the packet of chocolate and he got alarmed. 

Zain ran behind her, "You can't do this Adi. No!"

"I can do this Zain. Yes!" They ran behind each other before he finally gave in. 

"Fine. Keep it. Eat it. Enjoy it. I don't care." He folded his arms across his chest, faking anger. 

Aditi stepped closer and he looked sideways. "No Aditi. Don't you dare show me your puppy face." He squeezed his eyes but she wasn't a raw player either. She leaned up and blew some air on his closed eyes. His eyes shot open and she deliberately hanged her lower lip quickly.

He groaned, gritting his teeth.

She laughed out aloud and spoke,"We'll share it, okay?"

She bit into the chocolate and fed him with her own hands while he kept on ogling her. This was something really unexpected. He thought she would half it into two pieces but she did this. God! This girl is gonna be the death of him.

(XYZ cafe)

They all sat there chit chatting. The hall filled with teasings and laughters. The change in Aditi didn't go unnoticed by anyone. Aditi excused herself for the washroom as her "Avni type top" was now a juicy type top. While she went to wash it, they all began asking Zain.

"Yaar. We thought it would take some time for her to recover. But it's all over? Nupur started.

"Seriously?" Gautam expressed his concern.

Zain smiled up at them.

"Jaadoo!" Jahaan laughed.

"Arey par kesa jaadoo? Poonam mumbled, lightly.

Zain raised his hands in air dramatically, "Ab Zain Imam ka jadoo hi kuch aisa hai, kabhi fail nahi hota."

"Oyeeee! Neil Khanna banna band kar."They all looked in the direction of the voice and there stood Abhilash. He came and sat beside Zain, where Aditi was sitting. Even before he could sit, Zain pinched him.

"Kyaa?! Aditi nahi hai yahan. Uski jagah nahi hai yeh mein beth raha hun tou kya hua?" They all faked coughing making Zain go all red in embarrassment. That was when Aditi joined them back.

"Hey Abhi! What's up?" She cheered.

"Leg pulling session of your dearest friend." He quickly sat on another chair right beside Jahaan.

"Tum log zyaada tang nahi karte Zain ko?" She spoke, taking her place.

And she realized it was her turn to be embarrassed now, they won't spare her too.

Zain stealthily held her hand. She struggled to get out of his grip but darn his reflexes! She gave up and their entwined hands hanged loosely in between the distance of their chairs.

*****
After this long tiring day, they headed off to their homes.

(In the car)

"Mein. Zain. Where will I go?" She asked, facing him.

"Your appartment." He replied casually.

"But" she tried to speak but he intereupted, "Uhmmm. It's your house. He was living there."

"Hmm. But what if he is still there?" She spoke, worriedly.

"Just kick him out. He has his career, his house. He may not depend on you." He replied, his eyes focused on the road.

"Thank you Zain." She smiled, her eyes moist.

"No need Adi." He shot back a smile, turning to face her.

She smiled and the car came to a halt. Both of them headed to their flats in the same appartment. 

"Zain. Come with me please. Drop me there and then you can go." He smiled and began walking as she followed her.

She unlocked the door with trembling hands. He squeezed her hand, clutching it as tight as he could. She pushed open the door and they entered the flat.
