Chapter 5:- Knowing You...

(Flashback)

After a lot of re-takes and shooting, the department finally finished shooting for the day. Our next scene would be by the lake, where Ajabde is supposed to take her pooja. Not a very hectic day, but more of meeting the different departments. It is astonishing to see how many people are involved behind a show, or specifically a single scene.

Jannat had returned to her vanity room as she was feeling very "tired'. Sometimes I feel she has a lot of nautanki. But then again, she is very sweet at heart.

Just then I saw Faisal walking to his vanity room. Some friends of his were chit-chatting with him as well. I thought of introducing myself to him and started walking as well. But then I stopped. Somehow, this little voice in me stopped me from moving any further. What if he feels awkward? What if he feels that I am crossing the limit? After all, this is just my day of shoot here. But wait, since when did I start thinking about these things? Wasn't I the carefree one? I was so jumbled up with my thoughts that I wanted a break. I turned around and went in my room. Probably, I was tired.

After freshening up and removing my makeup I felt so relaxed and calm. Seriously, make-up is a lot to carry. I slumped on my bed in my room and closed my eyes. The first day of shoot and already so many memories! I took a deep breath as I inhaled everything around me. The air freshener in my room, the scent of make up, my deodorant, and the moist atmosphere. This was so different to what I normally experience! It felt like a totally unknown world to me. My eyes jerked open as I heard the knock on the door. 6:52 pm. I gathered myself as I walked up to the door.

"Hello, these are some snacks sent by the team. We have a recreation hall here as well, so you can come if you want to." said a person from the set crew.

"Thank you!" was the only words I could say. I was so hungry and exhausted, that I had to fumble over my words. I took in the snacks package and shut the door behind me.

After eating a bunch of junk food and a sandwich, I was energized. Recreation center. Maybe I might be able to make some friends here. I wasn't sure about Faisal...but there are other people as well?!

Noise buzzed as the door opened to the largely filled hall. Everyone was back in their casuals. Although the exhaustion, people were so eager to meet everyone. I had asked Jannat if she wanted to come, but she wanted some rest, so she said she would catch up later. I slowly walked in when someone called me

"Hey, Ajabde!" I frowned, I wasn't used to being called by this name. Not yet!

"I am your mom-well, your on-screen maa!" she smiled warmly as I smiled back.

"Hello Aunty, my name is Roshni."

"It's lovely to see you here, I didn't see you before. The production department were talking about Ajabde's role but they hadn't finalized on anything till a few days ago." She said, frowning. At least I had my mom' to talk to.

"Yeah Aunty, this is my first day here." I commented, giving a slight laugh.

"Oh wow, so how is it going?"

"Well, I love it here. Apart from the fact that I don't really know anyone here!" I replied with a blank face.

"Oh, so this is the problem... Come with me, I will introduce you to all the Ranis' of Mewar!" she announced with pride before giving a short laugh.

I willingly went with her, to meet my family'.

Truthfully, I am glad that I came here. Now I know people whom I can talk to. There is Rajshree di who plays the role of Pratap's Ranima, Maharani Jaiwanta bai. There was the sweet and bubbly Sajja baiji, or Divyalakshmi di, and the wicked-minded but amazingly friendly Aashka di a.k.a Dheerbaiji. The most common thing I heard from everyone was Faisal Khan. I was surprised to see that he had made a place in everyone's hearts. They showed me his dance videos... and I have to admit, he is absolutely brilliant at dancing. No wonder he won the trophy for DID lil'masters 2. And I thought I was a dancer :P. Aashka di mentioned that he is very passionate and focused in acting to which everyone agreed.

Now I badly wanted to meet him, I really did. It seemed as if Aashka di read my mind.

"Faisal, come here, I want to introduce you to someone!" she screamed as my eyes grew wide in horror. I was excited yet anxious. He turned as he gave a wide smile.

"Coming Aashu di!" he responded as I cleared my throat and turned to look at him. He was here, the person I wanted to meet. My heartbeat increased as he came towards us. And finally, he was here!

Dark black curly hair and brown eyes. A yellow and green bandanna on the neck with a faded white tee and track pants. He approached us as he smiled "Hey Aashu di!" He probably didn't see me or maybe he felt it was too awkward.

"Faisal, I want to introduce you to someone. Meet her, Roshni Walia, your would-be wife"

My eyes grew wide in surprise as I saw the same reaction on his face as well. What was Aashu di saying! I could sense the awkwardness around us as I looked away.

"Don't be so surprised Faisal! Aashu di was just joking. She meant that Roshni is portraying the role of Ajabde, Maharana Pratap's 1^st wife.." Rajshree di explained. I heaved a sigh and noticed Faisal relax as well. Before I could say anything or rather start a conversation with him, Aashka di jumped in by saying "why don't you take her and introduce her to all your friends Faisal?" No offence, but sometimes I feel that the elders get too excited over something. I mean, why would he want to introduce me to HIS friends, afterall I don't even know HIM!

"Sure di!" Faisal agreed. I was actually shocked to see his reaction. Maybe he might be saying this in front of everyone just for the sake of Aashu di.

He gestured me to come as I stood up. My heart was racing so fast, I was afraid someone would hear it. Faisal's friends were at the other side of the gathering hall, which was at a distance.

" So... Roshni Walia" Faisal started. "My name is-"

"Faisal Khan" I interrupted. The next second, I squeezed my eyes shut as I regretted my decision. Why did I have to interrupt him?

Faisal's frown turned into a small smile as he commented "So, you know me already?"

"Umm... yeah, sort of. I have heard loads of appraisals from not only the directors and the set crew, but also from all the actors that I have met till now" I smiled.

"Oh..." he said sheepishly.

"You dance brilliantly!" I complimented. " No wonder you won the DID trophy, you deserved it!" I beamed.

"All thanks to God! So you have watched my dance videos as well?" he narrowed his eyes.

"Mum showed it to me, before I came here." I defended myself.

He laughed a little as I gave a small frown. "What?"

"Nothing nothing..." he said between his laughs. Now I was getting conscious as well as suspicious. I blocked his path and spread my arms "What are you laughing at?"

"You are such a bacchi' at times" he smirked. "You know, you could have admitted that YOU wanted to watch my dance videos!" he said, lowering his voice.

I was astonished... no... more than that, shocked! This was the person I was admiring and respecting all this while. Well, I also know how to give back answers.

"You know what, you are very ANNOYING! And, "I" was never interested in YOUR dancing! I am sure, there are dancers who are way better than you." I snapped. I know I was lying, but I couldn't show it, not to HIM! I stomped past him as I made up my mind. No way, will I talk to him, not politely at all.

"Hey listen, Roshni" he ran up to me. "Okay sorry!" I did not stop. Suddenly he blocked my way as I had done a few moments ago.

"What?" I said, annoyed.

"Look, I am sorry! I did not mean to... I did not even expect that our conversation would go this way. Truthfully, I am not like this, not at all."

I burst into laughter seeing his expression.

"What are you laughing at?" he frowned.

"Nothing, nothing!" I laughed.

"Then why are you laughing Roshni?" he questioned

" Revenge taken Faisal!" I gleamed with joy.

"What! So this was all your plan?" he said in shock.

"The thing is, you don't know me yet. Main hisaab barabar kiye bina kisi ko chodti nahin!"

"Well, you don't know me either Roshni, and I can guarantee that I am not the humble and cute boy in front of my friends that I am in front of my elders." With that, he started chasing me.

"Faisal stop!" I screamed. I wasn't a fast runner.

"You bet!" he beamed at me.

"Hey Faisal!" someone shouted. I stopped midway to see where that voice came from.

"What, Yash! I was about to catch her!" Faisal complained, pointing at me.

"Oh, sorry.. we were just wondering where you disappeared.

I took deep breaths and cringed my stomach.

"Roshni, this is Yash. Yash, this is Roshni" Faisal introduced.

"Hi" I said shaking my hands with him. After his questioning look, I explained "I portray the role of Ajabde, Maharana Pratap's wife" I glanced at Faisal.

"Nice to meet you, I play the role of Chakrapani; Pratap's friend" he replied.

It's funny how you get to know people so well. Anyone would think we have been friends for years. Along with Faisal and Yash, now I know Vishal, who plays the role of Akbar, and Neeharika, who will be portraying the role of Saubhagyawati, Chakrapani's wife.

"The directors were also talking about another girl entering the show... something like fool'." Vishal continued.

"Vishal, her name is Phool not fool'. If Jannat hears that, she will get extremely mad for sure" I warned.

"Oh, so her name is Jannat" Faisal said.

"Yeah, she is my best friend. I know her since childhood." I began.

"She was very tired after the shoot today, so she said she would rest. You all can meet her tomorrow"

"Funny, how she is tired and you are not Roshni." Faisal wondered aloud.

"Faisal!" I smacked him on the arm.

"Roshni Walia!" someone shouted my name. It seemed as if it was one of the set crew. "Your mother is waiting outside" he continued.

"Coming..." I shouted back.

"Bye guys." I turned to my new' friends. It feels awkward to actually call them my friends'.

"Hey, let's meet your mom!" suggested Faisal. "I am sure she isn't as short-tempered as YOU are" he teased.

"Yeah, right" I smirked at him.

We got up to leave when someone called both of us "Faisal, Roshni!"

I turned to see a teenager; maybe a 20-year old girl calling out to us.

"Hi, Sharon di!" Faisal said with a delight.

I gave a questioning look at him.

"She is Sharon di!" Faisal explained. "She manages our social media accounts."

"Oh...Hi" I said to Sharon di.

"Hi, I just wanted to take a picture of you both. Viewers are very excited to see you both together... so posting an off screen picture would excite them even more." She paused "Only if that is okay..." she hesitated.

I was amazed. In just one episode, people wanted to watch Faisal and me together! This was so new to me.

"Sure" I said happily. "Only if Faisal agrees..."

Faisal made a suspenseful expression before turning back to a small grin.

"Why would I have any problems" he smiled.

"Okay then, ready?" Sharon di took her phone out.

Faisal and I stood together- shoulders touching slightly.

"3,2,1, click! Thank you so much! Roshni, don't forget to like our page, BKVPMP, or Bharat ka Veer Putra Maharana Pratap" she grinned.

"That's a long name to remember" I joked. "Sure, I will like the page!" I assured her.

"Faisal! Come here, quick!" Yash called out.

"I should go... mom is waiting outside!" I reminded.

"Hey, I'll come as well...wait a second."

"It's okay... as it is it is getting very late! You can meet here tomorrow." I smiled.

"Okay... see you tomorrow then!" Faisal gleamed.

"Bye" I waved.

In one day, we all had become such good friends. I hope our friendship never ends. I wished Jannat was here. It would be lovely if she got to know everyone. I promised myself to introduce her to everyone tomorrow.

This is the only update which I have enjoyed and laughed over until now!😆 Hope you like it! Please comment!😉
