Chapter 2

When Reya was out of sight, Ishaan got up and pulled Zoya against him. She let out a surprised gasp "won't give me a hug? "He growled and pinned her to himself. Zoya put her arms on his shoulders and tugged at his hair "noooo" she said with a smirk. Ishaan smashed his lips on hers, her hold on his hair wasn't enough to stop him. He had plastered her to himself. "No? "he asked biting her lower lip playfully. Zoya's cheek were a beautiful pink. She hid her face in his neck "Ishaan "she whined. He let out a chuckle and settled down with her in his lap. "Reya "Zoya started but he stopped her saying "she knows about us. It's not a big deal "he said running his hand through her hair. He was feeling peace, having her in his arms. Ishaan proposed her the day, she had turned 18 .it was surreal for her; she couldn't believe that the love of her life was proposing her. They always had a deeper connection and it evolved beautifully with time. Ishaan heard Reya approaching, but didn't let Zoya go. Reya smiled seeing the scene in front of her .it actually surprised her seeing Zoya all blushing. only Ishaan had the power to rise some girly behaviour in Zoya. They spent some time at Ishaan's place and then went home. Ishaan went to Singhania mansion for dinner .it was casual for him to spend most of the time there. the trio left for a long drive and ice cream afterwards. "Can we go to the north side? "Reya said. Zoya sighed "I don't know, which obsession do you have with the forest, it actually gives me creeps. "she said with a cringe. "I am here, you don't need to be scared "Ishaan said with a wink. "I am not scared "Zoya screeched as if it had been the biggest insult of her life. Reya smiled shaking her head .the forest, the darkness trees were always drowned in at night, fascinated her .she couldn't get enough of it. the mysterious nature attracted her. They had their ice cream laughing and enjoying themselves, then returned home. Next day, a match was scheduled between two teams of college .Ishaan was also going to play and it was Zoya and Reya's first match of college. they were excited about it. They got ready and went downstairs for breakfast .Aisha seemed to remember what they did yesterday "Your dad has really spoiled you both "she glared at them. "Mom! we drive carefully .don't worry, see we went yesterday and came back in 1 piece "Zoya said kissing her cheek. Aisha pulled her ear but then smiled. They left for college after breakfast. It looked like football was a big thing around college. Cheerleaders in their uniforms were already in the ground .Reya and Zoya settled in the first row, soon the match started .Ishaan was in red team, whenever he made a goal, one of the cheerleaders got extra loud, it was very clear that she had some special interest in him. Reya leaned towards Zoya and said "be careful, Barbie seems to be interested in your ken". Zoya snorted "ken? He is my bear not a fake ,2nd hand Barbie's ken ".Reya chuckled. When red team finally won the match, Ishaan came towards them and lifted Zoya in his arms. Her feet were dangling in the air, she was at least a head shorter than him. She nuzzled his neck but then also smacked his shoulder "sweaty monkey "she grumbled still hugging her. Ishaan chuckled that it didn't really bother her. Zoya saw the Barbie still looking at them with her face pulled tight. "Who is she? "Zoya asked Ishaan putting her hands on her hips. Why is she looking like you are not supposed to be here? " "Chill, my tigress. She is the head of cheerleaders and want the shiniest thing for herself. She seems interested in me today, will look interested in someone else tomorrow "he explained looking at Sasha. She was really an A class bitch. Her appearance was may be pretty to some, but from inside it was rotten. A friend of Ishaan really liked her, when he proposed her, she rejected him looking at his appearance. He wasn't the most stylish or the richest of them, but he did have a good heart. They decided to celebrate their victory. Ishaan's best friend, Ansh also decided to join them. He was single and it looked like he was interested in Reya , by the way, he was all smiles and sweet towards her. That night, Reya and Zoya were laying on bed, just relaxing. Zoya said teasingly "so, someone's having crush over you?" "Shut it" Reya said getting red "you know I didn't feel anything by his watching or his behaviour towards me. He was sweet but.... I don't think I will ever feel love "she continued. "You will feel it, and you will feel it with force. Maybe he isn't the one for you. And mam! stop worrying about this stuff, you are not 18 yet "Zoya said nudging her. Reya smiled and looked towards her window. The moon was shining brightly, sometimes, she felt that it could feel her emptiness. she closed her eyes and lost herself in her dream world.
