Sanaya's POV

I am sitting in my room with my head on my mother's lap.

"I am so happy mumma. Itni badi opportunity. Mai TV pr hongi."

(Such a big opportunity. I will be on TV.)

I said excitedly and mumma smiled wholeheartedly.

"Aise hi khush raho aur tarakki karte raho."

(Stay happy and keep prospering.)

She said caressing my face. I smiled and then suddenly remembered something.

"Umm-mumma? Ek chhoti si problem hai."

(There is a small issue.)

I said nervously. She frowned and asked.

"Kya baat hai?"

(What is it?)

"Wo na-actually-ek love story show hai."

(It's a love story show.)

Her frown deepened.

"Toh?"

(So?)

"Arre love story mumma. Samjho na."

(Love story mumma. Understand na.)

Her eyes widened and she whispered.

"Aise waise scene hai kya?"

(Is it obscene?)

"Nhi. Aisa kuch nhi hai. Bas kiss scenes the lekin ab wo sort hai. Director se baat ho gyi wo keh rha tha ki shadow blur something hoga. Lekin baaki scenes-I mean close wale hai."

(No. Nothing like that. There were kiss scenes but it is sorted. Director said it will be shadow blur something. But the other scenes-I mean close ones are there.)

I mumbled the last part and she looked at me for a moment.

"Kya karna hai?"

(What do you want?)

"Bhut badi opportunity hai mumma. I don't want to miss it. Aap papa se-"

(Its a big opportunity mumma. You talk to papa-)

"Mai baat kr lungi."

(I will talk to him.)

She said smilling. I smiled widely and hugged her.

I love my parents a lot. They always encourage me and support me.

The rest of the week went by in a blur. Today is Saturday and the first day of my shoot.

I am excited and nervous at the same time. I woke at 6 and was ready by 6:30. Mumma fed me dahi-shakkar and I took both my parents' blessings.

I moved out of my house and took a rickshaw.

I reached the studio in an hour. It was almost 8. Thanking God I went inside.

The receptionist recognised me and gave me a smile. 

I was walking to the shoot area when I felt someone push me aside.

"Thodi side hatke chalo. Saari jagah gher rakhi hai. Moti kahi ki."

(Walk to a side. Occupying all the space. Fattie.)

"Mai tumhe moti kaha se dikh rhi hu. Andhe!"

(From where am I fat. Blind!)

I scowled at him and he looked at me from top to bottom. I looked away feeling-I don't know what.

"Har jagah se."

(From everywhere.)

He said and sauntered away whistling.

Argh! This man! How am I going to tolerate him for so long.

I move inside with a scowl. I see Priya and Raghav already there with that idiot. One of the crew members escorted him somewhere. 

I greeted Priya and Raghav and Priya took me to my vanity.

"Wow! An actual vanity! Ye meri hai?"

(This is mine?)

I asked her excitedly and she chuckled and nodded.

"Tum andar wait kro. Makeup aur hairstyle artists thodi der mai aate honge. Pehle Karan ki shoot hogi toh tumhare paas time hai."

(Wait inside. The makeup artists and hairstyles would be here. First is Karan's shoot so you have time.)

She said and I nodded.

I went inside my vanity and looked around in awe. It was not very big but was not small either. 

There was a bed at a corner with a table beside it. A small refrigerator. I opened it and saw various refreshments and drinks kept inside.

There was a huge mirror and a dressing table in front of it. All in all it was quiet spacious.

I could live here forever.

Karan's POV

I am sitting in my vanity getting ready.

Two people are working on my looks.

One is doing my hair and the other is giving me a light makeup.

They completed their work and gave me a thumbs up indicating that I was ready.

About 5 minutes later, one of the crew members came to inform that my shot was ready.

I went to the site of shoot.

Today was supposed to be my introduction and I was thankful that it was simple and not the tadakta bhadakta hero type entry.

My character was of a simple upper middle class boy who lives away from his family due to work.

My work life was shot and a little bit of my conversations with my friends.

Then I was again sent to change because the shot was changed.

Meanwhile Sanaya's scenes were being shot. I was leaving when she was entering with her script in her hands and mumbling something all along.

She was wearing an oversized t-shirt and denim shorts.

She looked cute.

What the hell Karan!

I realised that I was checking her out and quickly averted my eyes.

No! She did not look cute. She looked-umm-aa-I don't know but she did not look cute. Yeah!

I go back to my vanity and slump on the bed.

A few seconds later I hear a knock on the door.

They are my makeup and hairstyle artists.

They get me ready for my next shot.

Since I did not need major changes, I was ready in 15 minutes.

They left and I sat on the bed waiting for my call.

I started reading the script.

Her shoot was going on. Today, she is also going to shoot just the introduction.

Her character is a simple and lively girl. She works in a fashion industry as a photographer. She also has some scenes with her friends.

I was reading what I have to do next when I heard a knock on the door.

The shot was ready.

We had a break at 2:30 for our lunch. Priya suggested we have our lunch together to which Sanaya immediately agreed.

She asked me too and I agreed.

"Hey Raghav! You also join us."

I invited him and he smiled and joined us.

We had our food together.

Everyone had bought lunch from their home. The food was brought in plates after reheating.

We all shared our lunchs.

"Umm! Yaar ye lemon rice amazing hai. Kiske tiffin se hai?"

(From whose tiffin are these lemon rice from?)

Sanaya asked eating with gusto. When both Raghav and Priya shook their head she froze on her spot and slowly looked at me.

I gave her a bored look and she asked.

"Ye tumne banaye hai?"

(You made this?)

I rolled my eyes at her and said.

"Nhi. Mumma ne."

(No. Mom did.)

She started eating again.

"Wahi mai soch rhi thi. Ki kadwa karela itna achha khaana toh nhi bana skta."

(That was what I was thinking. Bittergaurd can't make such good food.)

She said with her mouth full and I scowled. Mera hi khaana kha kr mujhe hi gaali de rhi hai ye ladki.

After our lunch we resumed the shoot again. Since today was no such heavy scenes so our shoot for the day wrapped up an hour early.

"Amazing work guys! Tum dono ne one shot mai apne saare scenes kr diye."

(You guys did your scenes in one shot.)

Raghav said with a magnanimous smile and we smiled too. Theatres magic! We have an habit of performing in one go.

Priya gave us the next day's script and we thanked her.

Raghav and Priya were also leaving for home.

Raghav was going to drop Priya. He asked Sanaya if she wanted a lift home but she shook her head saying that if will be a completely opposite route to him.

I started going to my car when I heard her shout from behind.

"Oyee! Badtameez aadmi! Puchhna nhi hota kya?"

(Shameless man! Don't you have to ask?)

"Nhi. Mujhe kuch nhi puchhna."

(No. I don't want to ask.)

I said without turning back. She ran up to me and started walking beside me.

"Mat puchho. Mai toh aa rhi hu."

(Don't ask. I am coming.)

Argh! This girl!
