The Love Algorithm - AdiYa FF

Chapter 12

The moment he was out of earshot, Arjun leaned forward, eyes glinting with amusement. "Okay, tell me I'm not the only one who sees it."

Yash exhaled, rubbing his chin. "Oh, you're definitely not."

Mahi folded her arms. "He's a lot more invested than he's willing to admit."

Arjun smirked. "Adi Bhai, the same guy who refuses to bother about quiet introverted girls like Zoya, is actually bothered by the fact that she is engaged? That's interesting."

Yash nodded thoughtfully. "He's never been this curious about someone else's personal life before. Usually, if something doesn't concern him, he brushes it off. But with Zoya..."

Mahi smiled knowingly. "He notices things about her. Her moods, her reactions. He's paying attention in a way that he normally wouldn't - even with us!"

Arjun let out a low whistle. "And here I thought our Adi Bhai was interested in guys. Thanks to you!" Arjun looked at Mahi, while Yash let out a chuckle thinking about that hilarious incident.

Mahi rolled her eyes. "Well, when it comes to Zoya, it's like he's... different. Not in a way that's obvious yet, but we can see it."

Yash tilted his head. "The question is—does he see it?"

Arjun laughed, "Oh, absolutely not. He is Aditya Hooda, and he will be in denial. As always. When has he ever agreed with something in front of us. Unless and until he is pushed into something, he never admits. He's been like this since childhood. Even if he likes some toy, till the moment it's about to go permanently from him, he will never open his mouth. We play with it, take it and roam around, and he just gives a stare silently. Finally, when we are about to take it all for ourselves, he will make a ruckus and snatch it from us."

Yash giggled, "Remember, how possessive he was about his things? Mahi, you remember right? Adi Bhai and Arjun almost rolled our entire courtyard just because Arjun wore his shirt once?"

Mahi laughed out loud nodding her head, while Arjun rolled his eyes, "My goodness! He would have buried me that day, if not for Paa. It took me 3 hours to wash off the dirt from my body that day."

Mahi thought about it for a while, as she asked, "Isn't this somewhat going the same way?"

Yash asked, "You mean, Zoya in the place of the shirt, and Arshad in place of Arjun?"

"Yes! I mean, if he's already this affected by just the idea of her being engaged, imagine what will happen if—"

Yash raised a brow. "If what?"

Mahi shrugged casually. "If she actually starts considering that guy."

Arjun grinned, "Arshad would be Tandoorified!"

Yash chuckled but then grew serious. "Jokes aside, though... let's consider that Adi Bhai is feeling something for her. But what about Zoya? We have no idea about her. And she seems to be such a scary cat and submissive type. She has agreed to marry a guy just for her father. How do we know if she has any feelings for Bhai? That's the main part, yeah?"

Mahi sighed. "That's also true. Zoya is already dealing with her own struggles. I don't think she is open enough to fall in love. And even if there's something building up between them, neither of them are going to admit it easily."

Arjun smirked and said with a smile, "Mahi dear, what are we here for?"

Yash raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly does that mean? Don't tell me you are going to come up with some other stupid plan."

Arjun leaned back, hands behind his head. "Nothing of that sort. I just mean that if Bhai is too thick-headed to realize what's happening, maybe we should... help him along."
