The Love Algorithm - AdiYa FF

Chapter 12

"But she was really annoyed." Yash said with a smug, "Now let's see how Bhai does his part!"

"Mahi said everything yeah?" Arjun asked while Yash said, "Yep! That her friend's sister who is planning to join medicine needs tips and career advice and also wanted to learn from his medical and academic experience. According to him, he is meeting that girl for that reason."

Yash leaned back smugly. "Bhai has no idea what storm he's walking into. Friday will be a paisa vasool day!"

Aditya was recreating a painting looking at a sample Indian Art painting Zoya brought from home, while he said, "Zoya, day after tomorrow, I won't be able to take the class."

Even though, Zoya knew why, she pretended not to, still focussed on making some minor changes to Aditya's painting, "Ohhh...why?"

"I am meeting someone."

Zoya stopped her strokes, while she responded, "Ohhh...nice!" She took a pause and said, "You seem too excited."

"Excited...hmmm", Aditya thought about it, "Kind of. And I do think I should do this more often."

Zoya blinked, her pencil pausing mid-stroke. "Do what more often?"

On the other hand, Yash and Arjun reached outside Aditya's room and stood beside the door, trying to witness the fun.

Aditya smiled, looking thoughtfully at the painting, "I mean...You know... get to see more people. Have one-on-one interactions. Let them meet me...ask me. I think I have a lot to offer."

Zoya stared at him, stunned.

Lot of offer? What is he going to offer? He wants to do this often? Meeting one girl is not enough?

Aditya continued, still completely innocent and oblivious. "And it feels good, Zoya. Like I'm actually... reaching out and people are approaching me too. Building connections. They learn from me. I learn from them. It's beautiful, really."

Zoya choked on her own breath, as she murmured, "They learn from him? He is happy to be this available to everyone?"

Aditya sighed dreamily. "In fact, I've started to think maybe I should do this regularly. Fix one day a week. Meet new people. Understand their needs. Share a part of me."

Outside, Arjun had squatted down and was biting his fist, his body shaking with suppressed laughter. Yash was holding onto Arjun for support as he was laughing, and whispering, "Hasn't he got a bit too moved by this guidance and coaching? And I just can't imagine what would be going in Zoya's mind. Share a part of him? Hey Bhagwan!"

Zoya slowly looked at him, "You...want to do this...weekly?"

Aditya nodded earnestly. "Why not? The more people I meet, the better. I think I can be very useful to them. And you know, it's not just about me — it's about what they want to get from me too."

Yash and Arjun shut their mouths tight and rolled down laughing hearing it. They wondered how could their brother use all the wrong words exactly at that situation.

Zoya's face turned to stone. She felt she couldn't be more horrified at how honest a person can talk about such things.

"So basically," she said, voice dangerously sweet, "You want to become a one-man solution center for lonely women and their needs."

Aditya blinked. "Huh? What?"

Zoya scoffed. "Never mind."

Aditya frowned, while be revisited his own words, "Wait, what did I say now?"
