True Love

Chapter 2: Greetings!

It’s been 5 minutes!

5 LONG MINUTES!

He was late and rushing when he collided with this lady, from that time the lady is checking whether everything is at place or not, be her dress, hair, specs and what not. The thing of concern is not this, what it is that, the Abir Rajvansh is finding it very cute and amusing. Well he is seriously getting late now, but at the same time doesn’t want to leave before assuring this lady that everything is fine with her.

Nervous! The girl in front of him is hell a lot nervous, anyone can say that. She is beautiful, can be an actress though, the nervousness doesn’t go well with the profession, is she a newbie? Can be possible, provided the situation he didn’t get a chance to meet all his co-stars. He just read the concept, it is nice. The production house is also a huge one and it doesn’t matter whether it a web or TV series, so he didn’t see a reason to say No.

“Excuse me Madam, are you okay?”

By the time it was clear like crystal that anyhow he has to bring her attention to him. The faster he ends this up, the sooner he will be leaving for the party.

“Yaa, am f-i-n-e, but you could have more careful.”

The lady is still busy in smoothening the little invisible wrinkle on her dress. She is so damn concerned about her dress, but what did she just said! She actually thinks it’s only his fault.

How ridiculous!

“Pardon Madam, we both are in fault here, even you are not careful. But I am trying to be polite but you are showing attitude… hey listen… and stop doing that…..”

To gain her attention he gets hold of her hand which is too busy smoothening the invisible wrinkle,

And that’s the exact time she actually looked into his eyes directly……

SHOCKED!

It would be an underestimation if Manyata has to name the feelings she is getting now as ‘shocking’. The realisation of the identity of the person with whom she collided, was ignoring from past 6-7 minutes and replied back with a sarcastic tone, isn’t helping her either, making the situation worse.

The Abir Rajvansh is standing in front of her, with his all glory with a frown on his face. The face that she stares till the time in TV screen only now in front of her, may be a half meter away, OMG! Did I really mess it up in my first day? She did know whom she is going to meet today most probably will meet for the coming 4-5 months of the total shooting schedule. But knowing something and experiencing the thing has a whole lot difference, she must have guessed it from her previous paragliding experience, where she didn’t even last 5 minutes and fainted.

What on earth she is thinking now, Paragliding! seriously!

You can do it Misti (Manyata’s nick name), say sorry and get done with it….

“Am so sorry Sir, I didn’t mean to be rude, or sarcastic anyway. I do agree I am also in fault, so sorry….”

Her face is such an open book, Abir can read all the expressions clearly, her shock, then the realisation, then again back to nervousness and anxiety. She is literally even saying sorry for things that didn’t happen at all.

An amused smile made a way into his face, she is too cute and naïve to be in this palce….

“it’s okay Miss, even I also in fault…. Now stop doing this too..”

Abir hold her another hand that was continuously pushing the specs on her nose further back.

Cut in middle and with both her hand held by The Abir Rajvansh, Manyata did her best to handle her growing anxiety that she does always.

She FAINTED!

***************************************************************************

Shreyash looks on to a smiling Kavya, chatting with everyone, smiling, enjoying. He is missing their friendship. But then she does not. She took everything too seriously and too fast and end up handling everything emotionally making a mess out of simple things.

When he came into this industry. The first and most important thing like a moto for him is that Professionalism is the beat to his career. The more it will beat the more success he will gain. He has reasons for everything in his life. Be it his career, his mood, his behaviour or even for his deeds,

But then she is not like him, she is carefree, like a bird. She doesn’t live for a reason unlike him, may be that is why he enjoys her company as much as he knows this attitude of hers might have a bad impact on his goals. They are friends, of course he always considers her as his friend. But something happened and she choose to distance herself.

But they are in this party, these journalists can easily notice that there is something amiss with them, courtesy to their previous comrade. And she had a past record to do these silly, unthinkable things. So he will initiate, for his career.

“seems like you have quite improved in this break time. Tell me what’s your plans for future.”

Well, Kavya has an intuition that The-Mr-Perfectionist surely gonna start a conversation with her just to show there is nothing wrong with them. Even she doesn’t want to make an issue either, but then behaving and normal like nothing happened and with the same person, it will be quite difficult for her to check her anger and frustration.

But them who will refrain herself from a fit sarcastic replay!

“and from when Mr-I-have-a-planned-future is interested in knowing any other person’s future planning?”

“it’s not any other Person Kavya, it’s you. We were co-stars before; people can easily notice the awkwardness between us.”

Shreyash tried to be reasonable with her, but she chooses to be otherwise.

“so I have guessed it right. You are still stuck to your public Image! Unbelievable!”

They both are again interrupted by a bunch of reporters, who are interested to know more about the story and the characters they are going to play.

“well guys, we can’t reveal much about the storyline as of now, but we got four people in this story Arnav, Khushi, Abir and Misti, and their journey to love.” 

Kavya tried to remain as cool as possible while answering the questions, their previous conversation is not helping her either.

“Ma’am, are you going to play the role of love interest of Arnav or Abir? As a pair we all fans wants to paired against Shreyash sir”

There is something that is new to him, Kavya is really really angry, and he can sense it. Before she does any blunder, Shreyash took the control.

“yes! We are paired this time too, and going to play the character of Arnav and Khushi. Now can you excuse us.”

“what’s wrong with you?”

He asked as soon as he notice that they are far from the eye sight of anyone.

“What’s wrong with me! You are asking these? Listen it very carefully, you are going to be away from me, we were friends at a time, but now we are only to Professionals and here to do our job. Am I clear?”

The budding rage is now can be heard from her tone also.

“Kavya do you have any medical issues, I mean anxiety problem or any phobia?”

Shreyash asked concerned, cause her behaviour is something different from the old Kavya he knows, or the Kavya he has seen some time before.

“None of your business!”

“calm down Kavya, someone might hear you!”

Shreyash tried to calm her down but seems like he is failing at it miserably.

“looks like I care Mr..”

“OMG! Whose the Girl!”

Not only their but all others attention got diverted towards the entrance of the hall, where is standing Abir supporting a half conscious girl in his arms.

Some look on curious, some puzzled, journalists rushed to him with camera flash.

Abir rubbed his forehead as he knows what lay ahead.

This gonna be a HUGE MESS!
