CHAPTER 2
(next Day)
Te stygian darknessof the night paved its way to a new morning.The clouds furrowed and the red fiery orb enveloped the earth with its gleaming light.
The morning dew speckled on the grass blades and shone like a mirror flecked mosaic under the rays.
And it was just another day at sets of Colors flagship Beintehaa-the crew was busy setting up the scene-adjusting the lights and sound,the Ads were running helter-skelter making sure that everything was set and the actors revisisng their lines.
Taking the scriptfrom Shritu,Preetika RAo breezed into her makeup room,to find Farida Ji busy setting up her costume.
"Arre Assalam Walaikumm Preetika...You're pretty early today?Its only 5 am..wna't your call time at 6.."the sweet natured lady eyed her suspiciously.
Preetika glanced at her watch,she was way before her cal time and unconsciously she had arrived at the call time that was given to Harshad..
She crnged inwardly.What was wrong with her? She set her bag on the dresser and glanced up to find Farida Ji holding astyrofoam cup of hot steaming coffe in her hand.
"Oh"Thank you so much farida Ji.."She continued,taking it form her hand and placing the brim to her lips.taking a long sip of the raromatic liquid,she moaned softly as it trickled down her throat ,waking up her sleepy nerve cells.
"you're an angel..you know that...!"Preetika smiled at her gratefully.
"Well I'm glad that you think so highly of me...but someone else got that for you.."She said,pointing her finger towards her cuppa.Smirking ,she went back to her work.
"Who..?"
"HArshad.." Preetika almost choked on her drink,as Farida said his name.
"What!That""She decided against articulating her thoughts.
That idiot!Something is seriously wrong with him!She'd need to have a word with him..Stupid!Stupid Idiot Arora!'
"By the way wat's going on between the two of you,hh..?"
Farida gave her a knowing smile,as she fumbled for words.
"b-between th-the t-two of u-us..we-re j-just f-f-friendly professionals..nothing m-more..."She looked back at the mirror,when Farida Ji came and stood behind her chair.
And the answer was clearly not convincible enough for her.
"Well you both can keep telling yourself that...anyways,which one do you want to wear..the pink anakali..or the yellow one.."
"You look good in pin.."Harshad said his eyes twinkling with mischief and his confusing humour.
"Why..?'She asked fazed,by his sudden compliment.
"Well it complete your Mslim Barbie Doll look..."
"Preetika..?"She asked holding the two floor length suits in fornt of her.
"Th-The Yellow..O-One.."
"No the pink one.."She looked back,startled to find him standing,or rather leaning against the door of her makeup room.
"So then..pink it is!"Faroda chimed and put the pink one on the bed ."I guess its time for me to leave.."She turned away,but before stepping gout of the threshold she said.."But keep the door locked kids..."
HArshad locked the door on his way into the room,and sauntered over t her.She was standing in front of the mirror, when he came and stood behind her.
"What are you doing here..?"
"Why can't I visit my girlfriend in her makeup room.."
"I am not you girlfriend Mr.harshad ARora.."
Preetika glared back at him but cowered as soon as she sensed his towering presence and smouldering gaze on her "Then who are you..?'
"We're ju-just g-going o-out..and technicallig we even havn't g-gone out o-once...!"She huffed,trying to hold her breath and stop herself from smelling the heavenly concoction of body wash,cologne and Harshad Arora.
"harshad.."
"Hmm.."
"There's something that I need to tell you.."he stepped aside,allowing her some space.
"Harsh..I d-don't wa-want us' to be public.."Preetika looked at him expectantly,hoping for some sort of answer from him apart from his silence .
"Say something.."Her voice was desperate.
"Why..?"
"Because I don't want to give anymore false hopes.."
"False hopes..?"
"There are thousands of people out there waiting for this news..and believe me I want to ...But the thing is that I shouldn't..because I dn't want them to shed tears when.."
"When what..?"
"When things won't work out between us anymore.."she said slowly..Preetika looked up at his eyes.There was a look of disbelief in the.
"So you have already decided on us being a mistake.. a failure..you've already given up on us..?"
"We know how things are gonna turn n out Harsh..its useless to make our hearts believe something else completely..."
"Wee I don't Miss Preetika Rao.."his ton was clipped ,his jaws clenched and his lips set into adeep lie.
He turned to leave..but stopped.." Ande I think you should wear the yellow one..I won't always be there ..sorry..I should rather say,that my choices will never matter to you.."
--------------------------------------------------------
(Phone convo)
"Oh..Meghaa.Thank heavens you took the call..."
"No"everything"o -its not fine.."
"ts -its about Harshad..he""
"He's not talking to me.."
"I- something happened ..I can't tell it over the phone..He's ignoring me Meghaa..he didn't even utter a sinle word to me between the takes..."
"Okay-okay.."
----------------------------------------------
"Shit what have you gotten yourself into Pree..Now how will you get him to talk to you!!He's angry..hurt and stubborn!Shit!Shit!Shit!!!"Preetika muttered under her breath and stopped as soon as she
Waited for him in the parking lot. It was 12.30 am in the morning..She turned around and collided with someone.Preetika closed her eyes as she felt the land beneath her feet slide away,but before she could land hard on the ground, a strong pair or arms caught her.
The scent was familiar and the sensation even more..
She opened her eyes to stare at his deep brown orbs,which were darker than usual.he steadied her on her feet and removed his ahnd away from her waist
"Be careful..from next time.."He was about to walk away.
"Why do you care about me?Why are you always worried about me..when I feel sick..all the times when I had almost slipped...when I had to shoot the scene where I had to roll down the stairs..Harshad..?"
"It doesn't matter.."he was about to wlak away once again.
"I need a lift.."She lied,desperate to get him talking to her once again.
"Why?Where's your car..?"Harshad eeys her sucpiciously,she she wringed her fingers.
"Um..Megha..was su-supposed to pick e up..b-but she can't so..and its late.."
"Get in.."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The car ride wa sensually silent and his silence difficult.
"Harsh..I'm so-sorry.."
"Sorry for what?"
"For..what happened..this morning.."
"Well..I deserved it Preetika.."
"Preetika' he rarely ever call me t by that name.."she thought to herself.
She cringed at his words.Had she not met him,she would've never known how a person could be so warm and cold at the same time...
The 45 mins ride to her apartment came to an edn..he stopped the car in form of the gates..
"the shoot gets over at 5 tomorrow.."
"Hmm.."
"Pick em up at 8.."
"Why?"
"I wanna go -o-out w-with y-you.."her eyes nervously skittered back and forth t his face and she noticed his frown change into a small smirk at the corner of his c lips...his lips..she wondered whether she'd be able to sleep tonight without dreaming about them.
"Where Miss Rao..?"
"On-on a d-date..."
