"There's my faviourate" Harsh hugged Zoya "Did Adi take care of you, because if he didn't, he'll have me to deal with"

Zoya wrapped her arms around him and let out a sob "Uncle, he did, please I need to speak to you alone" she pulled him to the side "I made a mistake Uncle, I have to leave tomorrow because, because I"

"Because you love Adi" Harsh sighed, cupping her cheeks

"How, how did you know" she stuttered

"I made a mistake all those years ago, I should have realised the love you both shared for eachother, but I didn't, if possible please forgive me" he put his hands together

Zoya pushed his hands down "Uncle, please don't embarass me by apologising, none of this is your fault" she shook her head, noting the tears that rolled down her cheeks and his "I have to go Uncle, I can't watch it here, i've never lied to you before, so I wanted you to know, I wanted you to know that I love Hooda but i'm"

Pooja grabbed Zoya's arm turning her around "You what" her eyes were dark in her fury "You love my fiance, so all this time, all this hatred was a joke"

"No Aapi it isn't like"

"No, don't say anything" Pooja held her hand up "Did, did you guys plan all this out so you could be alone, to have your way, I knew you were a jealous girl Zoya but this crosses all the limits"

"No" Zoya's voice broke "It wasn't like that, please"

Pooja raised her hand, her eyes teary and her whole body shaking only for Aditya to stand infront of Zoya and grab her wrist

"Don't take it out on her, i'm the one in the wrong"

Suddenly Pooja let out a laugh, pulling her hand back "Sorry Uncle, I really thought I could keep a straight face"

Aditya frowned "Wait, what's going on"

Noor ran forward "Duh, we all knew how you both felt so we left you alone in hopes you would realise your feelings and when you stuck up for Zoya Aapi, we knew then that you both had figured it out" she giggled

Zoya leant around Aditya "So, you're not mad"

"God no, i'm happy, it never was going to work with Adi and I, but you two both had a spark, i'm a good actress right, but this was all Uncle and Arjun's plan" she hugged Zoya "So now you don't have to go to London hm"

Aditya's jaw dropped "You guys, you had no idea how bad we felt, this is so embarassing, how did all of you know before we did"

"It was obvious Bhai, but either way, this plan was so fun, so now this is all sorted, happy belated birthday Zoya, we have a party to get to, so get ready" Arjun winked

Aditya grabbed Zoya's wrist "So now, you'll stay"

"Now i'll stay" she smiled, the happiness everyone felt was overwhelming, she felt stupid for never voicing her feelings earlier but was thankful that atleast the truth was out

~~~

Aditya span Zoya around as she laughed "So, Siddiqui, I have a question to ask you" he dropped to one knee

"No, not infront of everyone" she covered her face

"You make me the happiest man ever, you're the only person that can calm me down, the only woman who will ever be able to put me in my place, so will you allow me to stop calling you Siddiqu and call you Hooda by agreeing to marry me"

She nodded, her cheeks tinged "You're an idiot"

"Only for you" he stood up, wrapping his arms around her only to feel something hit his head

"You don't even have a ring, idiot" Harsh shouted

Zoya blushed "He always leaves things till last minute Uncle" she smiled up at him

Who knew, that a week could change hatred to love.

Thank you for following Zoya and Aditya's journey from Aditya being the man Zoya hated to the man she loved. This was meant to be a short story, so this is over now.

But if you take anything from this story, I hope it's that it only takes a few days to turn your whole world around.
Every chapter started with the word I, because each and every one of you has the power to achieve anything you wish.
For all the dark days, please remember that it only takes a few days to make your world light again.

Thank you. I love you all X
