Aditya was so done with everything.
He waited for 3 days and 2 hours for Zoya to wear that dress which Aditya had bought for her and preserved and suddenly when he was going to see her in those clothes, The manager called her for a last minute meeting.
Aditya really wanted to see Zoya.
Noor had arrived to the place too.
She looked fine but not happy enough.
Her eyes looked slightly red and her cheeks were slightly pink.
Aditya asked her if everything was fine, She replied that everything was great, She just hadn't slept for a while.
Aditya asked where Yash was, Noor said that he went back to meet someone.
Aditya was perplexed.
Yash would always tell him everything but this time he decided to take sometime of his own.
Even if it made Aditya suspicious and Aditya didn't know about everything, He respected all of his decisions.

The event was finally going to begin.
Yet, He has not seen Zoya.
'Please, I want to see my girl. Let me.' Aditya mumbled.
Si Hye heard it since she was next to him.
"Aditya-ssi.. You really do talk your mind." Si Hye said.
Aditya smiled.
"Zoya-ssi will be coming. She is talking to the staff if everything is alright." Si Hye said.
To see what Aditya does, Si Hye spiced things up.
"But she looked really pretty today. She looked like the God of all oceans who has just landed to earth." Si Hye said.
Now, Aditya was trying to control himself.
He really wanted to see Zoya.
"Did you choose her dress?" Si Hye asked.
Aditya didn't respond. He was a bit shy.
"You can tell me!" Si Hye said and slightly pushed him.
"Yeah I did" Aditya said and placed one of his hands in the ear.
He shyly looked down.
"Aww" Si Hye said.

"Why Yash? You know that it's important." Pooja said, As Yash was cutting vegetables.
"But not more important than you" Yash said. Focused in cooking.
"I'll be fine." Pooja said.
"No, I need you to eat. Now. I want you to be healthy."
"I am but now I think that You should atleast call Aditya. I know that it'll be hard from him too. He does not know anything and you are his best friend."
"You are my best friends sister. I have equal rights on you both."
"Ah, Just leave me alone and g-"
"No I can't."
"Why?"
"Because I-"
"I? I what? "
"I like you."
A deep silence existed in the room.
"I like you too" Pooja said.
"But I kinda like, Like you more." Yash said softly.
"Pooja" Someone called out.
It was Pooja's dad.
He looked tired and weak.
Yash took a step back.
"How is mom?" Pooja asked softly.
"Fine. She has accepted her life. Her mistake. She has accepted that she was the one who invaded the siddiqui's life for not winning in her sister's case." Her dad explained.
"Umm.. How are Zoya's parents?" Pooja asked.
"Blaming themselves for whatever they had done. They still need some time to face Zoya."
"But they didn't do anything wrong. It was mom who hired Zoya's dad to get her sister out of the entire prostitute issue and since the evidences were less Aunt went to jail. So why did mom have to do that to Zoya's parents?" Pooja grew furious.
"I know that they do not deserve this but don't worry, Everything will get better." Her dad comforted with a weak smile.
Indeed everything was true.

The CEO gave the speech and began the event.
Aditya looked around everywhere for Zoya.
"Do you need anything Aditya-ssi?" The manager asked him silently.
"No, Water" Aditya tried covering up.
Sometime later, The entire team behind the launch was called out.
Aditya and his team stood in the front for the photo and the Game designing head gave a short seeming long speech.
And then some more people were called and finally the event managers were called to the stage.
It was headed by Zoya.
Aditya finally saw her.
He let out a small sigh.
He kept looking at her.
Whatever, Si Hye had said was really true.
She looked like the queen of all oceans.
He was not able to take his eyes off her.
Zoya noticed his gaze.
She smiled looking at him.
He looked great too.
He wore a red blazer and matched it with black shirt.
He looked amazing too.
Aditya kept looking at her and most of the other things were blurred.
'Do I deserve her?' Aditya asked himself.

Everyone gave their speech and finally, It was Aditya's turn.
Aditya was slightly nervous.
Zoya stayed behind and watched him.
Aditya looked at Zoya before starting.
Zoya smiled brightly.
Aditya took a deep breath.
He started to speak.

"It is such a beautiful place now. We have always dreamed of the final day when we worked. Now that it is the final day, We are waiting to know if the game will do well. As you keep doing something and achieve your first goal, You will want more. That's what we all do, Each one of us are like that. That's how the game is too. You finish a mission, You want more and you work towards it too. But if you reach really high, It makes you scared. Scared if you will fall. Scared of the height. It's fascinating how a game does that all to you. We put all our energy, Effort and Dream into it. Please look forward to the game and thank you to everyone who has given me the wonderful opportunity to work in this game. And thank you to all the event managers who have made the dream come to life in the most beautiful way. Thank you so much."

Everyone clapped.
Aditya smiled, He had nailed it.
Zoya was very proud of him.
She clapped smiling endlessly.

A few hours later, The event turned a bit boring. The Managers showed the demo version of the game and let some kids play the game.
The kids had a great time.
The boss made Aditya meet alot of people who were gamers and his friends.
Zoya was being praised again and again for the event. She had to explain that that it was all possible because of her team to each and every person.
Aditya and Zoya had some good face muscle exercise.

When Zoya was coming from the washroom after fixing her makeup, Aditya pulled her into a small room with dim light.
It was nearly night.
Zoya smiled looking at him.
The dim light peeping through the window touched Zoya's face and refracted the glitter in her dress, Making her look more attractive.
"You are so beautiful." Aditya said.
Zoya smiled slightly.
Aditya pulled her closer to him.
"Maybe it's time for me to steal you." Aditya wispered in her ear.
Zoya looked confused.
"Come let's go" Aditya said and pulled her by hand.
"Where are y-"
"Shh.. I've captured you."

Aditya pulled Zoya towards an isolated place, To an exit with Zoya never knew about.
"Get in" Aditya said softly and opened the door of the car for Zoya.
Zoya got in.
He got in the drivers seat, Next to hers and drove.
"I hope you enjoy this." Aditya said.
Zoya was curious.
