Hey guys,
I pretty much gave up on this FF because I got so busy but decided that I should continue so here is another chapter after ages! Hope you guys enjoy and as always please leave your feedback behind 😊
Recap: Manasvi and Sodhiji notice something brewing between ViCha while both Saba and Chhavi have some career changing news for one another. Will ViCha patch up and what is this career changing news?
CHAPTER 16
Chhavi's POV:
I felt a tad bit light headed as I gently raised myself up from the pillow I was resting on. I found myself in my dressing room with someone measuring my blood pressure and members of the crew with their curious eyes fixated on me.
"Doctor woh toh tikh hai na ab? Kya hua tha? Aise achanak faint kyun kiya usne?" Viraf asked as he bustled into the room.
"Dekha na maine kaha tha kuch toh hai. Aisa lag raha hai ki Viraf bhi ab faint karni wali hai," Manasvi sir whispered into Sodhiji's ear and smiled seeing Viraf quickly taking Chhavi's hand.
"Haan Viraf nothing to worry about. Actually shayad stress ke wajah se uska blood pressure drop kiya aur usko chakkar aaya. Nothing serious but thoda waqt ke liye unko rest karna chahiye and try to make sure she doesn't take too much stress," the doctor said while packing up his medical equipment.
I was about to sit up whether when Viraf's tight hold on my hand kept me firmly grounded to that pillow. I tried to wrestle out of it the grip but I was met with his stern eyes telling me to stay put. As angry as I was with him, something in my brain told me to listen to him and let him hold my hand.
"Chhavi tum ab rest karo aur hum jaa ke shot ready karthe hai Viraf ke liye. Tumhari shot hum baad mein le lenge. Chaliye Manasvi ji ab kuch kaam bhi kar lethe hai. Also Viraf tum bhi thoda stress kam karo yaar nahi toh tum bhi faint karoge," Sodhiji chuckled as he patted Viraf on the back and left with Manasvi sir.
"Viraf main..." I began to speak when Viraf looked at me sternly once more which made me stop midway.
"Please ab kuch maat bolo. Bohot hogaya tumhari yeh stress aur anger. Rest ki baad jitna argue karna hai mere saath kar lena but ab mere liye chup hojao," he said as he stroked the stray hairs from my face.
"Nahi mujhe kuch bathana hai tumko," I pleaded as I sat up against my pillow and faced him directly.
"Kya? Kal raat ke baad aur kuch kehna baaki hai because agar hai toh ab mujhe nahi sunna hai. Please ab argue nahi karthe hai, tum rest karo aur main shot de kar aathi hoon," he said while grabbing my shoulders and forcing me to lay down flat on the bed again.
With one last glance at me, he sauntered off without saying anything more. I came to work late because I could hardly sleep last night with all that had transpired but a thought came into my mind which kept me awake. Viraf was right that at least he had the courage to open up to his family whereas I was still struggling to tell my parents.
Earlier that morning:
I woke up when the bright beams of the sun entered my room through the gap in the curtains. I turned on my side to check the time on the clock when I realised how terribly late I was going to be for work. I leapt out of bed and hurriedly got ready to leave which left me no time to have breakfast.
I dozed off a little in the car when the loud ringtone of my phone began to ring and jolted me awake.
"Hello?" I inquired sleepily without checking the caller ID properly to see who it was.
"Hello, Chhavi? Tu abhi takh soh rahi hai kya? Kaam nahi hai aaj?" my mother asked.
"Nahi kaam par hi jaa rahi hoon bas thoda sa tired hoon main. Kal tikh se neend nahi hua hai. Aap batao subah subah phone kiya apne?" I asked in a barely audible tone as I rubbed my sleepy eyes.
"Baath hai ki humne yeha bohot din se tere liye ek accha ladka dhoond rahi thi. Tu akela waha Mumbai mein rehthi hai kaam karthi hai toh tera toh time nahi hoga yeh sab sochne keliye. Aur kal tera liye ek bohot accha rishta aaya hai aur ladka toh bohot accha hai. Main soch rahi thi..." my mother gushed before I interrupted her enthusiastic spiel.
"Please Maa aapko patha hai ki main ab shaadi keliye ready nahi hoon," I retorted in annoyance with her excitement over this issue.
