Sanaya's POV

It is going to be super awkward performing all these scenes with him. My old rival. God! Why did he have to be so handsome and hot?

Aap isse thoda sa badsurat nhi bana skte the? 

I stop my complaining session with God when Raghav says something.

"Also guys-umm-are you guys comfortable with on-screen intimacy and kissing scenes?"

My eyes widen and I look at Karan.

"NO!"

We both yell and Raghav got startled.

He looked at us wide eyed and then nodded.

"Umm-ok. Well, jaise ki I have already told you ki ye show thoda mature hone wala hai so it would have a lot of intense scenes, a few kissing scenes, nothing overboard."

"I don't do on-screen kissing scenes."

I mumbled and he nodded in understanding.

"Well. Toh we have one option. Hum kiss scenes ko shadow mai dikha skte hai."

(We can use shadow for kiss scenes.)

"What's that?"

Karan asked and Raghav answered.

"Matlab ki background mai kisi surface pr your shadows will be shown kissing."

That would be fine I think. Because there is no way I am going to kiss someone on-screen. Especially him.

"But sir jo wrap up scene hai uska kya?"

(What about the wrap up scene?)

Priya asked and Raghav looked at her. 

"Wrap up scene kya hai?"

(What's the wrap up scene?)

Karan asked again and Raghav turned to us.

"The show ends with the male and female lead kissing."

I groaned mentally. What kind of a show have I taken up.

"Sir wo hum shadows mai nhi dikha skte. That would be too abrupt."

(We can't show them on shadows.)

Thank you so much Priya.

"Blur mai show kr skte hai."

(We can show it in blur.)

He said and then asked us if we were ok.

I didn't dare look up because this was too awkward. I just nodded and I assume Karan too must have because Raghav spoke up.

"Perfect! Toh you guys will get your schedule-"

"Umm-mai weekdays mai shoot nhi kr paaungi. I have other stuff to do. Weekends pr kr skte hai?"

(Can we do weekends?)

I asked and Raghav looked at me contemplating for some time.

"Ok but weekends pr I want atleast 14 hours of your time then."

"That's fine."

 I said with a smile. We were dismissed for the day and Priya informed us that they would be expecting us on Saturdays and Sundays at 8 pm sharp.

She gave us our scripts for the first day of shooting and asked us to go through it.

We nodded and moved out of the studio after signing our contracts.

Just as we move out I hear him groan.

"I can't believe I will have to tolerate you again now."

"Mujhe bhi koi bhut khushi nhi ho rhi hai tumhare saath kaam krke."

(I am also not very happy to work with you.)

I say with a sarcastic smile and he glares at me.

"Listen iss studio ke andar, sirf shoot ke time pr mujhse takrana tum usse bahar mujhe shakal bhi nhi dikhana apni."

(Inside this studio, only while shooting show me your face otherwise don't.)

"Same to you."

I said and went away from him. I stood near the end of the footpath waiting for a rickshaw.

I didn't even realise how much had passed since we were inside. Its already dark. The area we are in I won't get any rickshaw easily.

I wait for 5 minutes to see if any rickshaw comes but in vain. I take out my phone to book a cab but seems like luck has left my side because the moment I opened my phone it switched off. 

I tried turning it on but I think the battery died.

I groaned and just then a car stopped in front of me.

"Andar baitho. Yaha iss waqt koi rickshaw nhi aane wala."

(Sit inside. No rickshaw is going to come here at this time.)

He said without looking at me.

"No. Thank you. Mujhe tumhari help ki koi zarurat nhi hai."

(I don't need your help.)

I said and went inside to ask Priya for her phone so that I can book a cab.

Karan's POV

I was sitting in my car waiting for that nakchadi girl to come back. There is no way that a cab would come in this area. This area is too secluded.

She came back after 15 minutes with a defeated look on her face.

Grumbling in annoyance she opened the passenger seat door and settled inside.

"Ye mat samajhna ki just because tumne meri help krdi toh tumhara upper hand ho gaya. Raat bhut ho rhi hai aur tumhari duty banti hai ki tum apni co-lead ko safely ghar pahuchao."

(Don't think that just because you helped you got an upper hand. Its too late and its your duty to make sure your co-lead reached home safe.)

She said giving me a lecture. I decided to ignore her and started driving. 

She told me her address and thankfully kept quiet after that.

After a few minutes she searched through her bag and thought out some sheets of paper.

She started reading them with utmost concentration.

I gave her a look and realised that they must be the script papers.

"Thoda tez padh skti ho so that I can also know ki hume first day pr krna kya hai?"

(Can you read a bit louder so that I also know what we have to do on our first day?)

"Jee nhi. Tum ghar jaake padh lena."

(No. Read after going home.)

She said sarcastically. What was I even expecting?

She read the whole script in about 30 minutes and then sighed.

"Thank God!"

I heard her mumble. I peeked at her and she was keeping the script back. 

Curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't help but ask.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

"I am happy atleast first day mujhe tumhe jyada nhi jhelna padega. Hamare ek saath ek bhi scenes nhi hai."

(I am happy I won't have to tolerate you on the first day. We don't have any scenes together.)

She said with a happy and satisfied smile. I rolled my eyes mentally thanking God for forgiving me from her torture for one day.

We reached her home and she collected her stuff.

Before opening the door she turned to me and said.

"Thank you."

I raised my eyebrows at her.

"Did you just say that?"

She gave me a blank look and said.

"Ehsaan faramosh nhi hu mai."

(I am not an ungrateful person.)

Saying that she moved out of the car. I don't know why but I kept waiting there until she was inside her house. Safe.

As soon as she entered her home and closed the front door, I started my car and drove off to my home.

Going home I straight away went to mumma. I picked her up in my arms and twirled her around.

"Arre kya kar rha hai?"

(What are you doing?)

She said laughing and I laughed happily.

"I did it mumma."

I said happily and went on telling her what all happened today.

"Sachi! I am so happy! Bhagwaan tujhe wo sab de jo tu chahta hai."

(Really! May God give you everything you want.)

She said and kissed my head.

"Kis genre ke upar hai show. Mai bhi dekhungi mere bete ko."

(What is the show about. I will also see my son.)

I cleared my throat and looked away. It felt a little awkward.

"Romance. Love story hai. Aapke matlab ki nhi hai."

(Not your type.)

"Kya matlab? Tu itna sharma kyu rha hai?"

(What do you mean? Why are you blushing so much?)

She said laughing and I rubbed my neck sheepishly.
