The Love Algorithm - AdiYa FF

Chapter 3

"It's 12??" Aditya looked at the clock inside the room, while Yash sat at the chair opposite to him.

"What's wrong Bhai? Without even noticing the time, you are lost in something. What's it?" Yash asked with a smile, while Aditya came forward in his seat.

"Nothing Yash. Just...simply..." Aditya said while Arjun asked, "Well Bhai...how was your art tutor?"

Aditya looked at Arjun and said with a nod, "Very good!"

"You mean the teaching or the teacher??" Arjun asked with a smirk, while Aditya brushed off that question, "What nonsense? Why will I check her out?"

"When did he say you checked her out?" Yash asked, while Aditya closed his eyes got up from his chair, and leaned along the balcony.

Yash and Arjun smiled at each other, while Yash too stood up and put his hand over Aditya.

"What happened Bhai? What's bothering you?"

"I am just wondering...You know Yash, Zoya is a very talented girl. She has nothing short in her, only if she didn't have such a disability in her..." Aditya said, while Yash turned back at Arjun and Arjun gave a silly look and stood next to Aditya.

"Bhai, why are you worried about one girl like this? There are many people like this in this world. What to do? They are born like this. Or sometimes some people get cured in the middle too..." Arjun said, while Aditya quickly caught that point.

Aditya stood upright, "You are right! Not that many are born since birth like this. If it happened due to some mishap, maybe I can help her get her voice back!"

Yash and Arjun gave puzzled looks at each other, while Aditya said, "I will try to take her to Dr. Singhania. He is coming back from his Delhi Seminar in 3 days. He might help her out."

Saying so, Aditya walked to his room, while Arjun scratched his head.

Yash came to him and patted hard on Arjun's head, "Who asked you to talk about curing and such? See, he is planning to take her to the doctor now. Stupid!"

"How would I know he would come up with such a plan? I just said it for the sake of it..." Arjun said, while he added, "By the way Yash, you noticed something? Zoya has indeed made a huge impact on him. Like he has met many people like this before. Why is he so involved in Zoya's case alone?"

"That's right..." Yash said while turning back to the room and checking what Aditya was doing, "I have never seen Bhai so serious in such thoughts like this before. And he doesn't even find girls worth his time. But looks like he has a different equation with her!"

Zoya was sitting in her room, reading her Hindi novel rocking in her chair. Just then a flower from her plant in the room fell on the pond inside.

Looking at that, she walked towards it and took out the wet flower, while her mind went back to her meeting with Aditya that day in the water.

Caressing the flower, Zoya recalled looking at Aditya nearby during their first meeting while falling from the bike. She smiled thinking how he came all the way to talk to her and apologize to her at the bus stop.

Zoya leaned by the wall in thoughts near the pond, while the water kept falling from the waterfalls in her room that night, as her hair fluttered in the wind.

"Wow! You look no less than a painting!"

Zoya quickly came out of her thoughts and looked at Noor at the door of her room, and she smiled looking at Noor.

"You look just like Shakuntala...thinking about her Dushyant!" Noor said with a giggle, as she sat next to Zoya.

Zoya looked down with a smile, while Noor hit her hand with her hand, "Tell me, Zoya Siddiqui. Was there any Dushyant in your mind? Late night...sitting by the pond...looking out...what's it? Tell me?"
