LUCKY ME!!
I stood on the sets for quite a while looking for the person I had come to meet but I could not see him anywhere. I tried to crane my neck as high as I could but to no avail.
'I hope he has come for the shoot today,' I thought.
Just then someone walked over to me and asked me if I needed something. I nodded and asked him about the person I had come to see. He told me the person was just around and he would call him for me.
I could hug him for saying that but I thanked him and smiled.
After a while more of waiting, I finally saw him walking towards me. He looked even better than he did on the screen. He was shaking his head and he looked somewhat irritated. I hoped that he had not been interrupted from some important work because of me.
He was suddenly in front of me. I could do nothing but stare at him. Even when he said 'Hi' to me, all I could do was gawk like a fool. He was so good-looking. And then he smiled, probably after noticing my reaction to him. And I was gone for a few seconds. Where, I had no idea myself!
"Hey. I am Arjun," he said.
I shook myself out of my trance and managed to mutter, "I know."
"Great! Are you the one who wanted to meet me?" He asked, flashing that smile again. My goodness, his dimples.
I nodded quickly.
He put out his hand for me to shake and I quickly shook it. Then he motioned me to a chair that was nearby and pulled one for himself next to mine.
We were settled and he asked me if I wanted anything to drink to which I shook my head. He shrugged.
"Okay, is there any way I can help you? You don't look like a local," he said.
I had suddenly found my voice so I decided to tell him who I was.
"Yeah I am not a local. I actually came to India for a vacation and I vowed to myself that I would not go back home without meeting you and Rati. You have been my fav couple since I started watching MJHT and I totally fell in love with Mayank and Nupur."
He laughed. "Actually I love Mayank and Nupur quite a bit myself."
"I am sure you do. They were a very lovable pair. I could relate myself to Nupur because I am very much like her and I would love to have a Mayank in my life," I said.
"Oh wow! Then I pray you get your Mayank very soon," he said, flashing those gorgeous dimples.
"And see, we started talking about Mayank and Nupur and you did not even tell me your name yet and where you have come from," he said.
"Oh! Sorry! My name is Amina and I have come from Kenya."
"Kenya?! Wow! I had no idea Rati and I had fans all the way there," he said.
"Well now you know, yeah?" I said, laughing.
"Oh yeah, I do. And I will make sure I tell Rati this also."
"Really?!! Thanks! Actually I really wanted to meet her but I don't know how that will be possible. I mean I have just come here for the first time. Only I know how much I have roamed looking for this one place," I said, my mood dampening a bit at the fact that I might not get to meet Rati at all.
"Hmmm, that issue can be easily remedied, you know," he said.
I brightened up. "How?!" I asked excitedly.
He laughed. "Wow you seem more excited to meet her than you were to meet me. That is not fair."
"Ahh no. It is nothing like that. I just thought I wouldn't get to meet her and you say you have a solution. So it was just that happiness that reflected through."
He laughed some more. "I know. I was just joking. So chill. No need to justify anything. She is a very lovable person that anyone would want to meet her and talk to her."
I raised an eyebrow in a questioning way and he quickly said, "No, I just meant that she is a very nice person to be around and all. And we are great friends." He blushed.
"I know, I know. No need to justify anything," I cheekily repeated his words.
He caught that and laughed. "Okay, now I am almost done here. So can you wait for like ten more minutes then we go see Rati together?"
"You will take me to see her?!" I asked, shocked out of my wits.
Arjun Bijlani, the star, was telling me he would take me to see Rati Pandey?!! Wow! This was definitely a dream come true!!!
He nodded as if it was no big deal and said a "Be right back" before walking away.
I was still in shock when he came back approximately ten minutes later. Actually it was less than ten minutes. Hmm, it seemed Bijlani was even more eager to meet Pandey.

He had changed into his own clothes and was carrying a small bag. He motioned me to follow him and we went to the parking lot.
He opened the door of his car for me like a gentleman before getting in the driver's seat.
"Are you comfortable?" He asked.
"Of course. No worries," I smiled.
"In that case, shall we go?" He smiled widely.
I looked at him for a few seconds before I ended up blurting out what was on my mind. "You seem more eager to meet her than I do."
He blushed hard is when I realized what I had just said and muttered a "Sorry. I was just teasing."
"It is okay. It is allowed," he winked and started the car.

As we drove through the town, he pointed out places to me and made small conversation, asking me what I was studying and what I was planning to pursue as a career eventually. He asked me if there was a particular reason I had visited India and I had joked that I had come to see just Rati and him and nothing else. He told me a bit about his work also and joked that if I wanted, he could get me a job in the TV industry. I told him I loved acting but I could not pursue it as a career and he made a sad type face as if he was really disappointed, making me laugh.
I felt like I was talking to my brother, or better yet, my brother-in-law. He was such a sweetheart, even nicer than I had thought he would be.

We soon reached the building where Rati lived and he parked the car. We took the elevator to the floor where Rati's apartment was.
He rang the bell of her apartment and we heard someone call out, "Coming!"
After a few minutes, the door opened and I got a glimpse of one of the most beautiful ladies on Earth. She was simply dressed in a t-shirt and jeans and no make-up but she still looked gorgeous.
She smiled wide when she saw Arjun and had just moved ahead to hug him when she noticed me and moved back immediately without hugging him. She smiled at me and held out her hand.
"Hi!"
I smiled widely and shook her hand. "Hi!"
She looked at Arjun and something passed between them before she ushered us in and closed the door.
Arjun introduced me to her by telling her I had come from Kenya and I was a big fan of theirs and that I had gone to meet him on the sets but since I wanted to meet her also, he brought me to her home.
Rati smiled all through and was amazed that they had fans in Kenya also. I nodded and said, "I don't know about others, but I am a great fan of yours. I love the way you guys carry yourselves with such dignity and the respect you have for each other is rare to see between other actors. And you look so good together."
That made them blush. Rati smiled and looked down and Arjun just flashed his dimples to the extreme.
I bit the inside of my cheek to prevent myself from laughing out loud. Who were these guys fooling? They were definitely a couple.

Rati took us into the living room and asked me what I would like to drink or eat. I shook my head but she forced me and I finally agreed to take some cold coffee as she said she had just been preparing that when we came. She headed to the kitchen and after a while, Arjun followed her, giving me the excuse of checking if she had anything to eat.
'Checking if she had anything to eat! Yeah, right!' I thought.
Suddenly I heard Rati speaking in a low tone.
"Arjun! What on earth are you doing?! Let me finish preparing this, please."
I could not get what Arjun replied but then I heard Rati's voice again.
"Later, please. Arjjjjuunnnnn!"
Then there was silence.
I was naughty by nature and so was tempted to go and check what was going on but I held myself back and tried to occupy myself by going through the January 2011 GR8 magazine that was lying on the coffee table. Arjun and Rati had posed on the cover and to say they looked hot was an understatement. I had not gotten the magazine in Kenya so I took full advantage of this opportunity to look through it while Arjun and Rati got through with whatever they were up to.
And that was how they found me-staring at the cover page of the magazine. Rati was carrying three glasses of cold coffee on a tray and Arjun was carrying a plate full of cookies.
They placed the tray and plate on the coffee table before they sat on either side of me. Rati gave me a glass and offered me the cookies. I took one and thanked her before resuming my staring at the picture.
I was silent for a while but then decided to ask what had been going through my head ever since I had watched them on MJHT.
"How do you guys manage to look so perfect together and carry off everything so flawlessly?"
I was looking at them and I saw them exchange a meaningful look before they both simultaneously said, "Dedication."
"I thought so," I murmured and smiled to myself.
"Did you say something?" Arjun asked.
"Me? No, not at all! I mean, it is great that you guys are so dedicated to your work and all. I wish I can get a bit of that dedication. I would do wonders in my studies," I said.
They both laughed.
We talked a bit more with Rati asking me questions about my life back home. The talks were punctuated by a lot of looks passing between Arjun and Rati and a lot of blushes and smiles, though I pretended not to see any of that.
After half an hour, Arjun asked if we could leave and I nodded. I was reluctant to put back the magazine and Rati noticed that.
The sweetheart that she is, she asked me if I would like to have the copy.
"Well, yeah. But it is your copy. I can't possibly take it," I said.
"It's okay. I have another copy. You can have this one. In fact, Arjun and I can sign it for you," she said.
I could not control the smile that appeared and almost jumped in joy.
"Really??!! That would be awesome!" I said and gave her the magazine.
They both signed it and wrote a few lines for me also.
Arjun wrote: 'It was great meeting you. You are a lovely girl and wish you all the very best in life. Lots of Love, Arjun B.'
Rati wrote: 'It was a pleasure getting to see you and know you a bit. I feel good that I have such a great fan from a place as far as Kenya. Wish you all the best, sweety. Hope you reach the skies and always encounter success in life. All the best. Love, Rati.'
I had brought gifts for them so I removed the packages from my purse and handed them over.
"What is this?" Rati asked, excited to receive a gift.
"Just open and see it, Rati," Arjun said.
They both opened the gifts. They were identical frames with different pictures from their offscreen interviews on TV pasted all over. Needless to say, they loved the gifts and thanked me profusely for them, promising to always treasure them.
Rati then walked us to the door and hugged me tight.
"The next time you come to India, be sure to come again, okay?" She said.
"I surely will," I promised.
"And where is my hug?" Arjun spoke up.
I giggled softly and Rati gave him a look that somewhat seemed like a what's-gotten-into-you one.
"You can hug him, Rati Di. I will close my eyes if you want," I teased.
"Goodness! This girl is naughty," Arjun said and we all laughed.
"It runs through my blood," I joked and told Arjun I would be waiting for him near the elevator.
I hugged Rati once more before walking away, leaving them to say their private goodbyes.

When Arjun came over to the elevator, I gave him a teasing look.
He blushed and smiled before ushering me into the elevator. "Naughty girl!"
He asked me where I was staying so that he could drop me off. I did not want to inconvenience him but he insisted so I told him the name of the hotel I was staying in.
On the way, he switched on the radio and amazingly, the song Khuda Jaane was playing.
"Wow! One of my favs!" I said excitedly.
"You like it?" He asked.
"Of course I do! It was the song that made Mayank realize he loved Nupur!"
"That is why you like it?" He seemed amazed.
"Yup! Whenever I hear it, I can only picture you and Rati Di," I said.
"Actually we both love this song also," he said softly and I don't know if he realized it but there was a soft and sweet smile on his face that conveyed everything so clearly. He was indeed very expressive.
We talked a bit but mostly he was lost in some thoughts. I could bet my newly-acquired GR8 magazine that the thoughts were Rati's because I could see a tiny smile adorning his lips all the while.
I prayed to God to always keep this couple together and never let anything harm them in life. They were made for each other and they deserved to spend their lifetimes together.

When we arrived at the hotel, he parked the car and we both came out.
It struck me that my dream had just come true and more. It had been my dream to meet them but what happened today was beyond my dreams. I could not express myself in words and all of a sudden, I got tears in my eyes.
Arjun noticed and got worried. "What happened?! Anything wrong?"
I shook my head and wiped the tears off. "No. It is just that it had been my dream to meet you and Rati Di but today exceeded all my dreams and my expectations. I had the best time of my life, and with celebrities, no less. You both have hearts of gold and anyone would love you people. I can't explain my feelings in words. It is amazing to know that there are people like you and Rati Di who have not let fame get to their head and treat a fan like royalty and with so much love."
"Ohhhh, come here," he said and pulled me into a hug.
I hugged him back.
Then I pulled back and thanked him for everything to which he sweetly said, "The pleasure was all mine, lady" and bowed slightly. We both laughed because he had said it in full-on drama style.
I bid him goodbye and wished him all the best in life. I had just walked a few steps when I stopped and turned. He was just about to sit in the car when I called him.
I went over to him and, going on my tiptoes, whispered in his ear, "Rati Di is the best person you can ever hope to have in your life. Don't let her go." I moved back and winked.
He smiled. "Never! I promise!" And winked back.
I waved and walked away once again. There was a spring in my step this time round because I had had the best day of my life and for a lot of other reasons. Oh, what an experience I had to relate to my friends!
Hope you enjoyed....Will wait for your comments....Both praises and criticisms...be free to speak your mind...Love ya ALL...😃
