The Love Algorithm - AdiYa FF

Chapter 2

"Sorry!!" Mahi looked at the librarian, and looked at Zoya, "Thanks Zoya...so from when will you come? Today?"

Zoya gestured in agreement, and Mahi smiled, "Okay!! Meet me in the evening at the university gate...I will take you home..."

Zoya gestured she was leaving home in some time as she had to visit the doctor, and asked Mahi to send her the home address.

Mahi somehow interpreted Zoya's gestures and said, "Uhh...okay...I get it...I should send my house address...right? Cool!! Let me inform my bro then!!"

Mahi left, while Zoya got up to return the books.

Zoya was waiting at the bus stand with her bag, after her classes, while Aditya came on his bike on the opposite side of the road, and stopped near the bookstore. As he was locking his bike, his eyes fell on Zoya at the bus stop.

"Hey, this is that mannerless rude girl..." Aditya recalled the previous day's fall with her on the ground. Aditya parked the bike, and looked at her, "Wait, I will teach you manners now..."

Just then, a woman came to Zoya showed her a slip, and asked the directions in gestures.

Zoya looked at her and asked in a gesture if she couldn't speak. The woman gestured that she couldn't hear or speak. Zoya felt bad and looked at the slip and started explaining the directions in gestures in sign language.

Aditya crossed the road and stopped at the partition looking at Zoya speaking in sign language to a lady. Aditya was confused, as he saw Zoya speaking that way.

"Ohhh...she can't speak?" Aditya removed his glasses and looked at Zoya, "That's why she behaved weirdly that day? Man, I misunderstood her that day..." Aditya felt bad, while the lady thanked Zoya and left the place.

Zoya turned and looked at Aditya standing opposite her recalled the previous day's encounter with him and opened her eyes wide looking at him. She remembered Noor scolding her for not even apologizing to him for pushing him into the ditch.

"How will I apologize with this throat?" Zoya thought holding her throat and looked at Aditya as he came near her.

Aditya greeted her and asked her if she was fine with gestures. Zoya looked at him with a perplexed look and thought, "Allah...he can't speak?

Aditya too gestured saying he was sorry for the other day wondering if she was hearing impaired too, while Zoya looked at him sympathetically, "Poor guy. He is apologizing for my mistake, and I behaved so meanly with him that day."

Zoya smiled and nodded her head, that she was fine, and gestured to him a sorry too with a smile. Aditya smiled at her back and started exchanging formal pleasantries, introducing him to her.

Arjun and Yash were coming in on their bike on the other side, and Arjun looked at Aditya from afar and lifted his sunglasses down while sitting behind Yash.

"Heyy Yash...stop!"

"Why? What happened?" Yash asked, while still driving.

"Just stop the bike, Yash!"

Yash stopped the bike, while Arjun pointed towards Aditya and, they saw Aditya doing hand gestures alone on the road, as Zoya was hidden behind the pillar of the bus stand.

"That's Bhai yeah?" Arjun asked pointing at Aditya, while Yash too lifted the shield from his helmet and saw Aditya.

"Yeah. What on earth is he doing?"

They saw Aditya laughing and shaking his hands in the air.

"Yash, Bhai got so tensed about the art contest that he lost his mental stability too? See he is drawing pictures in the air all alone at the bus stand!" Arjun said while they both looked at Aditya weirdly.
