ENTRY INTO RESORT 22.9
Part 12 – e
The next morning the entire crew boarded the first flight out of Malaysia to fly to the last destination for the World Tour, New York.
In the flight.
Air hostess: Sir, can I get you something?
A: Yes. Get me a blanket and an eyeshade please.
Air hostess: Would you like a pillow too?
A: Nope. I prefer her shoulder.
He winked at Riddhima who was sitting next to him, rolling her eyes.
The Air hostess went away. Riddhima had begun loving these flight journeys. It was almost like a ritual for them- they would sit together, chat, laugh, watch movies, and then fall asleep on each other.
R: Don't you want to watch a movie?
A: Not today, yaar. I'm too sleepy.
He was beginning to get comfy for a long nap when the airhostess came back. Armaan smiled at her and it bowled the young girl over.
Air hostess: Let me help you sir? She stammered.
She opened the blanket and began tucking him in with it, fluttering her eyes at Armaan. Riddhima who had been watching all this from the corner of her eyes decided it was time she intervened.
R: Ahem-ahem. She gave out an artificial cough.
Air Hostess: May I help you maam?
R: Can you get me today's newspaper?
Air Hostess: Sure, maam. Have a nice flight sir.
Armaan smiled at her and turned to Riddhima who gave him a glare which said don't-think-I-didn't-see-you-flirting-with-her. He gave her the what-did-i-do? look and dozed of on her shoulder thinking about what a possessive girlfriend he was going to have.
Riddhima opened the newspaper and found a huge big picture of Armaan half carrying her out of the stage from last night on the first page itself.
INDIAN SUPERSTAR RUINS SHOW
The Indian superstar, Armaan Mallik who had become the heartthrob of Malaysia ruined the last show of the world tour which was held last night. After the anchor had given him a much hyped introduction Armaan walked into the stage late. What followed was one of the most unrehearsed and disheartening performances he has ever given. The audience who had been waiting for his performance with baited breath were thoroughly disappointed. Michael, a spectator said " I don't know what the hell they were trying to do out there, but it was a complete mess! Armaan and his partner were completely out of sync, they looked like they were waddling about and finally they just ran out before the song finished." Selena a dance instructor who was watching said that whatever she saw was definitely not salsa, and that the actor ought to have rehearsed his song properly beforehand. "I love the song sholon si but they ruined the whole thing." Said Puja and Indian fan of Armaan who went to watch the show just for him…..
Riddhima picked up another article from another newspaper. It had the same picture of the two of them running out of stage.
WORLD TOUR SHOW ENDS IN A MISHAP
……thousands of people had gathered together to watch the young superstar from India Armaan Mallik, expecting a spectacular salsa performance but the show ended with shoddy performance on the song sholon si. As his performances are always tremendous crowd pullers, Armaan was asked to perform the last song for the world tour in Malaysia but the performance was a huge big let down for fans in Malaysia and all around the world and the ticket sales are expected to fall drastically for the shows in New York…..
A third newspaper caught her eye.
ARMAAN MALLIK --- A BIG LET DOWN.
……Ananya Singh, a college student who calls herself THE number one fan of Armaan was in for a big let down when she went for the world tour show last night. Like many others, Ananya had saved her pocket money for months together to be able to buy tickets for the show which are affordable only to the elite. "I was ecstatic when I got the tickets, my friends and I had been saving up for ages because this was like once-in-a-lifetime chance for us to see him. But in the end it was all not at worth it."
Another article said---
ACTORS NEVER REHEARSE
From the looks of last night's World Tour show, Armaan Mallik is set to join the band wagon of celebrities who never rehearse for their shows. The blue eyed actor who has women swooning over his many tattoos looked like he had no idea what he was doing onstage last night. After fumbling with his partner for a few minutes onstage the actor carried the stunned looking girl out. "The problem is these days actors just refuse to rehearse! They think they have descended from the moon and can pull off anything, but when the time comes to deliver they fail. The reason for Armaan's clumsy performance was nothing but lack of practice." Says a dancer Sumaya who has done bollywood shows earlier.
Riddhima was shocked as she scanned through all the local dailies which said the same thing—Armaan was overconfident, his new found fame had got to his head,he was too busy partying or wooing women to care about the show, he never bothers to rehearse etc etc. She thought about how happy she had been when she found out that nothing about her dress tearing would be in the papers last night. She had never imagined it would all come down on him like this. By not speaking to the media last night, Armaan had provoked them to write all this misconstrued stuff about him. She kept thinking about how just to save her from all the embarrassment that would have followed the mishap, he had let them put the blame of the terrible performance on himself. He could have told the media that there was an accident on stage and that was why they ran out but he knew very well that the reporters would not stop there and would manage to pull out the story from somebody or the other and then shout out the story from the rooftops after adding adequate masala to it. This is why Armaan had caught up with Rahul just after their performance and asked him to make sure that none of his contacts let the story out. Rahul had successfully kept the media out of the place and made sure that none of his usual "sources" within the crew blabbed and so the reporters were forced to extract the story from the public spectators who had no idea what happened. Riddhima turned her head and looked at his face on her shoulder, deep in sleep. She wondered why was he doing all this? Why was he trying to take care of her and protect her always? What had she ever done for him?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After an hour or so Armaan woke up and found the newspapers lying on the tray table in front of him. Riddhima was next to him, staring out of the window, lost in thought. Armaan sifted through the pages and scanned them for any news about riddhima's dress giving away. Once he was sure that there was nothing in there, he prodded Rahul who was sitting with Muski across the aisle.
A: hey dude?
Rahul: Hmm?
A: Thanks for taking care of everything yesterday. If you were not there to control the media from entering----
Rahul: That's alright Armaan. I had to do it. I know what a terrible mess it could have created for Riddhima. Lets just be glad no one got hold of the real story. Bad luck for you though.
A: For me? Bad luck? No ways. Its bad luck for the papers yaar. They can't even sell a single days paper without a story about me!
Rahul laughed and hi fived Armaan. It was true, no other actor would be able to draw trps and readers like Armaan Mallik. He knew that like most of the celebrities, over the years Armaan would have steeled himself towards gossip articles.
Riddhima was quite taken aback at the way Rahul and Armaan were talking about the articles as though it was nothing.
R: Armaan?
A: What? Aise kya dekh rahi ho?
R: Have you even read what they have written about you?
A: Riddhima….look I've been an actor long enough to know that there's nothing I'm going to achieve by brooding over what these people write…..one day they will say I am the world's greatest actor, or the most sexy guy on this planet and the next day the same people will say they knew I was trash from the beginning. It doesn't affect me anymore…..plus this is nothing yaar, they've written much worse than this.
R: But how could they just misconstrue stuff like that and cook up a whole new story, Armaan?
A: Chodo na Riddhima….this is their job. If someone is able to sell a paper or get a higher trp by using my name, then why not? Any publicity is good publicity, haina Rahul?
Rahul: Yeah. Don't worry Riddhima, people will get over it in a few days and they'll be back to kissing his posters in their bedrooms. I bet shonali's pleased though?
Riddhima: Why?
Rahul: Oh she just got herself the best publicity she was could find!
Riddhima: What do you mean??
Rahul: You didn't see?
Rahul handed her a newspaper that shocked the hell out of Riddhima. There she was in her white top, standing on tip-toe, her face hidden in Armaan's chest and her arms encircling his waist in a hug. The caption below it said:
Armaan Mallik seems to busy wooing the bollywood bombshell shonali these days….no wonder he never has time to rehearse????
Riddhima's eyes grew wide in horror.
Riddhima: But that was me!!!
Rahul: I think some of those media guys must have followed the two of you. But they wouldn't have been able to identify you and no offence, but nobody wants to read about how Armaan hugged Riddhima. But if people read this caption they are bound to think he is having an affair with Shonali and buy the paper to read the gossip. Its just marketing.
By the way guys, this picture looks quite cosy, huh?
Riddhima blushed and averted her eyes from Rahul.
Armaan: You have a point. We do look very good together, haina Riddhima?
Riddhima: Um, uh, when is--- i mean I think we're going to land!
She said hesitantly and thankfully the airhostess made the announcement right then.
ANNOUNCEMENT
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been cleared to land at the John F Kennedy airport. Please make sure one last time your seat belt is securely fastened."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It was early morning in New York when they got to their hotel. To Rahul's disappointment, Muskaan and Riddhima were sharing a room again. Muskaan was trying to catch some more sleep before the day began but Ridzi's tossing and turning in the bed was disturbing her. Try as she might, Ridzi just could not get those articles out of her head. Armaan may not have bothered about them, but Riddhima could not tolerate the way in which they had written lies about Armaan being overconfident and not bothering to rehearse. The worst thing was the realisation that all this had happened only because he wanted to protect her from the scandal that would have ensued. The words of the teenager who had saved money to see Armaan came back to her. Were they really not giving performances that were worth the money people spent to see them? Did the audience feel that they gave them high hopes and never showed them something spectacular? She knew a way to remedy this. They needed a breathtaking come back, that was it. And she would make sure that they did it!
With this sudden realisation, Riddhima sat bolt upright in bed.
M:Kya hua?
R: I'm going to change our song for tomorrow. I need to see Anjali.
M: Tu paagal ho chuki hai kya? The show is tomorrow!
R: I know Muskaan! But I want to show everybody dance that they have never ever seen.
M: Tu yeh sab woh newspapers ki wajah se kar rahi hai? Ridzi, tujhe pata hai woh sirf bakhwaas tha!!
R: Nahin Muski. They did have a point. The audience is not getting what they want from these shows. And tomorrow's is the last one. If we rehearse properly we might just pull it off?
M: Ridzi, risk mat le. If it does not work out it will be an even bigger disaster than the last one. Meri maan its all nothing but buri nazar. Kal Saturday hai, main tum dono ki nazar utaar doongi aur phir sab kuch changa!!
R: Nahin Muski. I want to meet Anji.
And with that Riddhima got out of bed and went off to meet Anji.
M: Oh-ho Rabbaji! Kyun yeh ladki apne pair par kulhaadi maarne jaa rahi hai?
On the way to meet Anji Riddhima stopped by Armaan's room.
She knocked twice and on the third knock a grumpy looking Armaan opened the door. His hair was completely messed up and he was wearing nothing but a pair of scandalously low black boxers. The sight would have made any girl go weak in the knees. Seeing her, he gave her a sleepy smile. Riddhima thought maybe he had not woken up totally and was still dreaming so she snapped her fingers at him and he came back to Earth.
A: Riddhima? What happened?
R: Bataungi. We don't have time to waste! Chalo mere saath!
She took his hand and began dragging a confused Armaan out of his room.
A: Riddhima where are we-----
Just then a couple of girls who had spotted them on the corridor shrieked. Armaan immediately realised the potential danger to his "izzat", and dragged Riddhima back to his room and shut the door behind them.
A: That was a close call….
R: Ugh, Armaan I don't have time for all this!! I need you to come with me to talk to Anji about the show tomorrow. She's already waiting in the lobby and wants to see me ASAP!!!!
A: meet Anji??? (with a downcast face.) and here I thought you were dragging me out to confess your undying love for me.
He shook his head morosely.
R: Armaan!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Riddhima was really getting irritated with all his nonsensical talk now.
He held her by the shoulders.
A: Okay, okay! Just give me fifteen minutes, I'll take a quick shower and come down.
R: Jaldi!!!
When she opened the door to leave she found the group of girls who had screamed earlier huddled at the door. The moment she opened the door they tried to peak into his room to catch a glimpse of Armaan again but she shut the door tight and walked out, giving them a dirty look on her way out.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Riddhima met an impatient looking Anjali downstairs. When she explained that she wanted to change the song, Anjali said a clear no. She said there was absolutely no need for it and it was too big a risk anyway. But Riddhima was persistant and by the time Armaan walked in they were almost in the middle of an argument.
Anjali: Riddhima, your being impractical here….if you change the song now everything will go haywire! its not just about rehearsing it and teaching Armaan some new steps! What about the costumes? What about the dancers and their costumes? The lights? The camera markings? Tumhe koi idea bhi hai what you are wanting to do?
Riddhima: I've got it all under control. We won't be needing any extra dancers. Costumes ka mein kuch kar lungi. And lights aur camera markings hum aaj raat ki final rehearsal tak fix kar lenge.
Anjali: I still don't see any point in all of this…
Armaan enters…
Armaan: Hey Anj! Wassup?
Anjali: Riddhima here has gone bonkers!!! She wants to change your song now when we have less than 36 hours left for the show.
Armaan: But why?
Riddhima: Because I have a better idea in my head!! And we need to change the song Armaan the song we had rehearsed is just not good enough!! The audience is already pissed about our last performance. They pay through their noses to come and watch us, we have to show them something that's worth it!
Anjali(interrupting): But Riddhima we do not have the time to change things around---
Armaan: One sec Anj, lets just listen to what she has in mind? Go on Riddhima…..
Riddhima: I want to show them something totally Indian. These people watch salsa and tango everyday. We are from India and we should show them something only Indians can do. I thought lets do the taandav. I bet no one has ever done that before.
I've thought of the whole concept…..i want the song to be hai rama yeh kya hua
She closed her eyes and began to narrate……only the two of us on stage….two lovers…lost in the jungle…..the scorching sun is just setting….I'm scared, scared of being with you alone, scared of my overwhelming emotions and scared of the burning desire I see in your eyes…..and you….you are restless…restless for me, restless for my love and for my body……you won't let me go till I give in to you…..i try to run and I try to hide…..but you chase me with fervour and take me captive…….and drive me senseless with desire…..the twilight engulfs the two of us and…..and we make passionate………………
Armaan: love?
