"Tujhe sach mei lgta hai yeh thik rhega" A Little innocent 12 year old boy scratches his head and asks thi question to his friend.

"Tu zyada soch mat jesa keh Rahi hu waisa kr!" A very cute and beautiful 10 year old girl says while giving order to her friend.

"Dekh, agr mujhe daant padi na toh keh dunga ki tune mujhe bola krne ko." He says this with innocence.

"Ha ha, thik hai bol Dena jisko bolna hai. Zoya Siddiqui kisi se nhi darti." That girl says this with full confidence.

The child tries his best to aim at the mango but misses his aim.

"Kya yaar Adi, tujhse ek nishana bhi lgaya jata" The girl says irritably to her friend.

Well you get it right. These two children are Aditya and Zoya. When any trouble comes to Aditya, Zoya stands in front of him as a shield and fights with every person who is against her Aditya or tries to harm her Aditya. As dangerous as Zoya is, Aditya is equally calm.

The way Zoya helps Aditya, she protects him, the same way Aditya protects Zoya's books, he helps her with her school homework and saves her from getting scolded by the teacher. When Zoya is unwell, whether she has anyone around or not, Aditya is always there for her. And when Aditya is sick, it is only Zoya who secretly feeds him ice cream because no one knows better than Zoya how much Aditya likes ice cream.

Both Aditya and Zoya know each other so well that perhaps even their parents don't know their child. Zoya and Aditya are with each other since childhood. Both of them are so close to each other that even their shadow itself is not close. It is said that in darkness even the shadow leaves us.  But there would never have been a single moment where Zoya left Aditya or Aditya left Zoya.

"Ek kaam kr tu rehne de Adi, mai hi Tod leti hu. Jitni der se tu ek aam todne mei lga hai utni der mei mai yeh pure paid ke aam tod leti." Zoya says, placing her hand on Aditya's shoulder and pushing him back and herself aims at the mango with a stone in her hand.

"Hahha, hahah, dekho dekho loser ko kaise khud piche khada ho kr ladki se aam tudwa raha. Hhaha hhaa loser kahi ka." Seeing Aditya, some street children start making fun of him and Zaya does not like this at all.  She gets so angry that she hit the boy by throwing a stone in her hand at his face.

"So how did you like the girl's aim?" Zoya says tauntingly by placing both her hands on her waist.

"Aye ladki tune acha nhi kiya, tujhe pata hai tune Kis ko mara hai, humare ilake ke dada ka beta hai yeh" One of those street children goes ahead and says to Zoya.

"Jis ilake ka haina uss ilake mei Jaa kr hase, yeh sheron ka jungle hai tum jese kutton ka ilaka nhi hai." Zoya tells him while pointing her finger at the boy and giving him a warning.

" Zoya chhod na chal yha se chalte hai. Tu kyu in logo se bhid rhi hai chhod chal tu mere sath chal." Aditya says while holding Zoya's hand and taking her towards their house.

"Meri galti hai Adi? Sachme tujhe lgta hai mai ladd rhi hu. Inki himmat kaise hoi meri Aditya ka mazak udane ki. Mere ilawa kisi ko yeh haq nhi hai ki woh tera mazak bnai samjha tu?!" Zoya says while walking with Aditya on the way.

Aditya takes Zoya home admonishing her all the way but deep inside he was very happy that Zoya fought for him and especially for Aditya. The way she says my Aditya, my Aditya.  Aditya likes this very much. At the age of 12, he fell in love with his best friend.
