"Today I am going for the shoot. I am so excited guys! I hope everything goes well and I don't spoil it with my anxiety. Finger crossed." I crossed my finger and then shut the camera off.

I looked up at myself. God! I am looking so pale! I wiped the cold sweat from my face with my palms. Calm down Warisha Ahmed.

Mom dad wapas jaa chuke hai.Ameera is at her work. I am alone right now.

"Where are you?" I texted Sanam.

"We are on way. Bas 5 mins more and we'll pick you." He replied.

I was checking out the pictures of the location which Mr.Kumar had sent me. The band is still unknown of the place. This place is sooooo beautiful man!

Just then my phone started to ring and I answered "Haa bolo"

"Kya bolo? We are waiting. Niche aao jaldi." Sanam said from the other side.

"Are 5 min abhi nahi hue and tumlog agaye. That's not fair!" I said while stepping in my footwear. "Bol dete to niche rehti na."

"Whatever! Now hurry up."

I walked to the small hall room "Are baba haa ruko- Aaaa!" I shouted as I opened the door and he burst out in laughter.

"Aisa koi karta hai kya?" I said angrily though I was half smiling at his cute, sweet laugh.

"Aisa bhi kya kiya? Maine toh bus hoodie phena hai and face chupaya, bas ." He said in between in his laugh.

"You and your hoods!" I said pushing him aside and locking the door. "I will destroy all your hoodies!"

"Aisa kya?"

"Haa!" I spat and walked in the lift.

"I won't let you touch my wardrobe. " he said leaning on the lift wall.

"How can I touch your wardrobe? Mere ghar pe rakha hai?" I asked while laughing. "Are pressed the key na!" I said.

"Oh haa!" He said and pressed the G button and then continued "Then how will you destroy my hoods?"

"Ummm..." I kept thinking for a suitable reply but didn't come with any "That's a secret!" I winked. He came close to me in split of second "Acha? Secrets, abhi se?"

"Haa-Sanam!" I shouted, hugging him tightly when the lift dark out and stopped in between. He hugged me back "Kuch bhi to-" he didn't even complete his sentence and the generator did its working bringing back the elevator to life "nahi hua. Itna dar andhere se, abhi bhi?" He asked. I nodded in hug .

The elevator stop and was opening so I pulled away from him and walked out.

"Kitna time lagta hai?" Keshav said pointing at his watch, leaning on the car.

"Lights chali gayi thi." I replied walking towards him with Sanam.

"For two seconds only." He shook his head.

"Ab complain hi karta rahega ya chale?" Sanam said "I'll drive." He added and walked the other side.

"Wanna sit in front?" Keshav asked me. I shook my head opening the back door "Tum hi baitho apne Sanam ke saath. Venky and Samar? " I asked them.

Venky and Samar were not here. They were supposed to come too.

"Oh they... " Keshav sat on the front seat and continued "are at the location for some technical work."

I frowned. Kumar sir ne unhe bol diya?

"Haa bol diya." Sanam laughed and started the engine.

"Stop reading my mind!" I snapped and sat angrily. He shook his head "Are you angry?" He asked in teasing tone. I glared at him when I saw him adjusting the rear view mirror, our eyes met through it. He smiled and I looked away.

Huh! Hamesha mazak udhate rehte hai mera. Phele bhi and abhi bhi.

"Oohhhh....someone's angry." Keshav said in a low voice.

"Haa bhai. Lag to wahi raha hai." Sanam nodded looking at me through the mirror.

"Drive pe dhyaan do." I said "Zinda pohouchna hai mujhe."

"Too angry. I am not here." Keshav shook his head and got busy with his phone.

"Mazak tha na Warisha. Don't be angry now. "

"Hamesha mera mazak udhate rhete hai. I enjoy it too but humph! " I looked away from the mirror.

"Music sune?" He asked.

"Your car. Your wish. Why are you asking me?"

He shook his head, smiling and turned on the Bluetooth MP3 player. I slid near to right window side. When the song started I mentally patted him for his choice of the music.

Tu aise dur hai kyu tujhe hi dekhu

Bas dekhta rahu.

I smiled looking out from the window and saw Keshav giving him a thumbs up.

Tu hai aisi khushboo khud ko rok na saku,kya karoo? Oohhh

Nazron ko nazron se milne de milne de...

He sang along the song looking at me through the mirror.

"Look forward. " I said trying hard not to blush and keeping my angry phase on.

But by the mid of the song I gave up and turned deep red "okay fine! I am not angry. Stop doing that." I was smiling broadly and so was he.

"So that mean his singing is enough to calm you down?" Keshav asked.

"Kyu mera ghar barbaad kar raha hai Keshu? " Sanam asked him in a crying tone making us laugh.

"Oohhhh....long plans huh?" Keshav teased us and both of us turned red.

Really? Sanam did said that? Mera ghar?

"So should I call you bhabhi?" He turned. I hid my face in my palms.

Sanam slapped him on his head "Remy ko to kabhi bhabhi nahi bulaya aur naa hi Suman."

"So what? So Bhabhi.... "

"K.D!" I cried, red as a tomato.He laughed "okay okay my stomach and cheeks are hurting now. " Keshav said messaging his cheeks.

"Call her Bhabhi or not but what about yours? Aur kitne din single rehna hai?" Sanam started to tease Keshu

"Well...next flight tak."

"Next flight?" Sanam and I asked together.

"Haa... then I will bump with someone and let my phone swap with hers." He said turning the table back on us.

"Nah....itne lucky nai hosakte." I shook my head "Meri jaisi nahi milne wali."

"Oh madam? You are lucky That tumhe main mila, okay? " Sanam said taking a turn.

Woh to main hu hi. I got you but let just continue this teasing thing.

"You are lucky Mr.Puri, jo main tumhe mili. Warna milti koi pagal ya plastic model."

"Tum pagal nahi ho?"

"Am I? Keshu am I? "

"No no no. Tum pagal nahi....maha pagal ho!" He replied and both of them laughed.

"Ha ha ha very funny. " I mocked.

"You two are so cute." Keshav complemented. I threw my arms around Keshav from back "But not more than you." I said squeezing his cheeks and his cheeks turned pink within second.

We all laughed and reached there very soon.

As soon as I stepped in the location Suman di pulled me with her to vanity saying "We are late!"

"This is going to be my first professional make-up. " I laughed.

"Close your eyes and relax." She said.

I felt her wiping my face with wipes and applying a liquid, may be foundation?

After every step I use to open my eyes and awe at the sight.

Keshav came in there during my hair and Suman di went to Sanam. My hair were wrapped in foils. Keshav and I were joking around when I felt burning sensation at my back.

"What happened? " he asked.

"I don't know. My back is burning. " I said trying to reach.

"Oh my God!" I heard the assistant scream and as soon as she removed the foil I saw that my hair has burned! I wanted to scream and cry! It was all blonde instead of brown.

"I am so sorry. " she apologized. I moved my head side to side. My eyes filled with tears. Keshav looking at me with wide eyes not knowing what to say.

As she combed my hair, the dyed hair were falling like dried leaves from a tree. (This thing has really happened so I just thought to add it. My poor cousin,she had waist long hair and now 😂😂😂 i shouldn't laugh 😅😅)

"Hey Bhagwaan!" Suman di shouted at the sight from the door. She rushed in "Yeh kya kiya tune Shruti? Dhyaan kaha tha? Told you that not more than 5 minutes! " she scolded her. I kept weeping.

"Warisha, I am sorry. Tere bal-"

"It's ok di."

No! It's not okay! 3 saal ki mehnat thi. I wanted to cry. But she didn't do it with intention. It was a mistake.

Finally we decided to chop the hair and it was back to my shoulder. They straightened it and gave me fringes. It wasn't looking bad but still. My long hair!

They did my eye make up again because I ruined it earlier.

"Ye lo,your dress." She handed me my costume and I went to change.

"Is this really me?" I awed at my reflection. Yeah...I lost my long hair but the girl standing in front of me,my reflection, ufff! I am looking amazing!

"Yes yes, it's you!" Suman di laughed.

When I walked in the location Sanam came in quick "What the hell did you do with your hair?"

Can't you see? Duh!

"Sanam woh-" Suman di was saying in apologetic voice.

"Suman di, I will tell him." I squeezed her hand.

"Shot is ready! You guys are already late!" The director shouted.

"Shoot ke baad I wanna know everything thing." He said in firm voice.

Pfffttt! He looks so scary when he is angry.

The director told us what we have to do. I chuckled. Seriously? I have to look at Sanam with loving eyes and blush?

Every one who knew about us where laughing and joking.

"You are looking handsome Mr.Puri." I said. He was looking so ummn..what should I say? Handsome? Gorgeous? Well, for me he was the most perfect guy in whole universe.

"You are looking pretty too." He smiled and I blushed.

"Mom is here." He whispered and I turned in a jerk "Don't behave like an idiot. " he muttered and I nodded.

"Mom. The female voice of the song Warisha." Samar introduced.

"Namaste Aunty." I smiled a little nervously and the Puri brothers chuckled.

"Namaste Beta." She smiled and caressed my cheek " Jitna sundar gaati hu khud bhi utni hi sundar ho " (you sing as beautifully as you are)

"Thank you aunty."

"Mummy ji!" Suman di came "Bohout bhook lagi hai. Chale kuch khate hai." (I am too hungry. Let's go and eat something. )

"Acha acha chalo." She replied and walked with her.

I exhaled heavily and Sanam laughed.

"Shut up!"

"Kaisi lagi meri mummy?" He wiggled his brows.

"Sweet as ever!" I grinned.

We stood their lip syncing our song as camera rolled. Sanam was looking at me with such intense and loving eyes that a thousand of butterflies were doing cart wheels in my stomach. I blushed without even trying.

In between the shoot Keshav and Sanam kept cracking their jokes and troubling others. Sanam's mom scolded them and asked them to behave like grown up in which the two laughed out loud.

"You people continue your shoot. I am going back. " Sanam's mom said and left for her room.

After long, long hours our shoot completed when it was nearly dawn.

"The sun is about to rise. " Sanam said. We were walking in lawn of the hotel. I nodded. It was quite cold, I rubbed my arms. He smiled and I giggled "What? "

"Nothing. "

"Aise kaise nothing. Say na." I cried like a kid.

"You are acting like a kid. How old are you, huh? " he asked my age for the third time.

"Ladkiyon se unki age nahi puchte." I shook my head and sat on a bench there.

"You are preparing for Bachelors, right?" He asked and I nodded "Yeah."

"Then you are probably twenty one or twenty two."

"Gosh Sanam! " I pushed him away "stop talking about my age!"

He laughed "I love to tease you." He said and touched my nose. I stuck my tongue out.

"Neend arahi hai." I yawned keeping my head on his shoulder and wrapping my hands around his forearm.

"Mujhe bhi." he kept his head over mine.

"Andar chale?" He asked after few minutes. I shook my head "abhi nahi." I said in mere whisper, keeping my head on his chest and wrapping my arms around him. He kept his hand on my shoulder and rubbed my forearm. "See,you're cold. Andar chalo."

We walked inside the hotel and on our way we saw Samar and Suman di sitting near poolside. I was literally sleep walking, it was Sanam, who helped me to reach my room. I wasn't even able to lift my eyelids. He kept me on my bed and I felt his soft lips pressed in my hair. "Good night." He whispered and I smiled even in that sleepy state. I heard the noise of closing door and The peaceful sleep engulfed me within seconds.
