CHHUP CHHUPKE
She laid beneath while he on top of her. Their eyes locked for a brief period before he scooped down to capture her lips. Her eyes widened in shock when she realised that he was actually kissing her. She raised her right hand to separate them but he held it tightly and kept it down. He closed his eyes as he moved his lips up and down tasting her soft petals. He was about to coax her to open her mouth when he faintly heard someone saying "Cut". He was so engrossed in kissing her that he didn't pay any heed to the voice that echoed in his ears. Seconds later, he sensed that the female was squirming underneath him and then he comprehended that he lost his control. At once, he got up and ran a frustrated hand on his hair. He could again hear the director saying a "Cut" but this time more loudly. He was to just press his lips lightly on hers but the moment he felt her lips he couldn't control himself. What was meant to be a light peck was about to turn into a full fledged passionate kiss, had he not stopped at the right time. He glanced at his co-star besides him who kept her eyes down casted while fixing herself. He wanted to apologize to her but seeing her getting conscious he dropped the idea for time being. He thanked his stars that there was no one present in the room except the 2 actors, cameraman and the director. The rest of the crew was sent away since the actress was uncomfortable to do such scenes in front of all. He mentally thanked her as he knew it would have been a huge controversy. He could even predict the headlines for tomorrow "Advay Singh Raizada loses his control". Advay could feel someone's intense gaze on him and he guessed as to who could be the owner of those eyes. Mustering up some courage, he looked up to see the director throwing daggers at him. For the first time, he was a bit scared of this man and inwardly chided himself for landing in such an embarrassing situation. The director tore his gaze from Advay and walked over to the cameraman whose mouth still hung down in shock; escorting him to a corner. Advay could decipher that probably the director was warning the cameraman to not leak out this news out of the four walls of this room and the person nodded in fear. When their conversation was over, he walked towards the bed where he and the actress were seated. He psychically prepared himself to be blasted for his unprofessional behaviour but no such thing happened instead the director neared the actress and asked whether she was fine. She meekly nodded without uttering a word making Advay feel more guilty. The director raised her up placing his both the hands on her shoulders and got ready to leave but not before giving him a long deathly glare.
***********************************
EVENING...
Advay Singh Raizada dressed himself up in an Armaani tuxedo looking dapper as ever. The party was kept inorder to celebrate the wrapping up of his new series. The shot he gave in the afternoon was the last one but he really doubted whether they would even incorporate it in the last episode. Keeping his thoughts aside, he came down in the hall and all the eyes stuck on him. But his eyes roamed to search the one person whom he wished to badly see tonight. Half an hour passed still there were no signs of her; he even wondered whether she would come to the party after their awkward encounter of few hours back. Giving up, he concentrated on the guests that attended the party. Another half an hour passed, he stood near the bar ordering a drink for himself when suddenly the lights dimmed and the spotlight fell on the petite female figure at the entrance. His voice stuck in his throat as he saw his co-star Chandini Vashishth looking etheral in the full sleeves shimmering silver sheer evening gown. He gasped as she gracefully entered and he scanned around to see the men looking stunned. Keeping his drink down, he walked in a trance towards her who was now standing in a corner. Eyes still fixed on her, he was just few feet away from her when he felt someone blocking his way. He was annoyed at the interruption and was about to give the person his piece of mind who had dared to cross his path. But when he looked at the person, he was surprised and gulped in fear. He really didn't wish to face this man now as he didn't want to spoil his mood. The director looked at him from top to bottom and shook his head in anger.
Advay (mockingly) - If you are done checking me out, can you please leave my way now?
Yash (warningly) - Don't you dare near her
Advay looked at him confusingly and then realised that this annoying man had seen him moving towards Chandini.
Advay - And may I get to know why shouldn't I dare to do that. I see no harm in apologizing to the lady for my unprofessional behaviour. I just need to inform her that it was me who got carried away so that she doesn't feel uncomfortable working with me in future. I just wish to clear out the misunderstandings. That's it.
Yash (sternly) - No need to display your chivalry here. I have already talked to her and she is very much fine now. So I don't want you to go near her and remind her of that incident again
Advay (slight angrily) - I don't know what personal grudges you hold against me. Why do you dislike me so much?
Yash (gritting his teeth) - Oh really!! You want me to get vocal about the reasons for disliking you. I thought you were smart enough to know it. In case you forgot about your image then let me remind you. You are a womaniser and a casanova which is why I don't want you to be around my daughter, Chandini. Though my daughter knows what is right and wrong for her, still I will always protect her from men like you. Plus, she will never fall in the trap of your charms. Always remember that. I can't tolerate your presence even for a second. If I would have known that you were the protagonist in this series, I would have never let my daughter work with you. But I know you and your father purposely tricked me in this contract by inserting unreasonable clauses. Moreover, after what you did with her today, I just want to strangle and kill you right here. I don't despise but hate you now
Advay (controlling his anger) - Firstly, I would like to remind you that neither you were a 5 year old kid who could be easily tricked nor an illiterate who couldn't read and understand. All of us know that your set of contract copy was handed over to you carefully to read the terms and conditions and you had willingly signed it accepting them all. So, don't you dare blame my father. Secondly, I knew it was my fault and was genuinely guilty thinking what your daughter might be feeling which is why I was going to apologize to her. And one free advice stop being an over protective father and let your daughter live her own life; freely on her own terms. Don't keep your daughter caged let her fly like a bird. Don't let her feel suffocated and burdened by your love. Thirdly, I dislike you as well
Yash (angrily) - Don't rub my wrong side. Just stay away from my daughter
Advay (coolly) - Trust me, if you instigate me so much then I promise I WON'T STAY AWAY FROM YOUR DAUGHTER. And I mean it.
With that Advay winked at Yash and blowing soft whistles went away leaving a fuming and sulking father behind. The rest of the evening Yash was constantly by Chandini's side so that Advay won't corner her seeing her alone. Simultaneously, he also kept scanning the surroundings to look whether Advay was around but to his surprise he was nowhere to be seen. Probably, even his mood would have turned off, after their verbal spat, hence he left, Yash thought. But what he didn't know was Advay was very much in the party and had hidden himself in the darkness of the lonely corners while he was just waiting for a moment when Chandini would move away from her father. Much to his luck, she whispered something in her father's ears to which he nodded and she excused herself. Smiling, he whisked away like a wind and followed her suit. Chandini headed upstairs to use the washroom in one of the rooms but forgot to lock the main door. Minutes later, when she came out, she saw Advay leaning with his one leg against the door and hands folded on his chest.
Chandini - What are you doing here? Move aside I need to go
As she said those words, Chandini saw him staring at her with a piercing gaze. Ignoring her words, he took few steps in her direction while she moved backwards till her back hit the cold wall behind. He stopped just few inches away from her; intimidating her.
Chandini - Don't come near me
Advay (smiling) - This line is your favourite just like your father; isn't it? Even he keeps saying "Stay away from my daughter"
Chandini (looked down with a light smile) - What do you want?
Advay (in a husky voice) - I want you
Chandini shivered at his direct retort while Advay locked her by placing both his arms on the wall. Keeping his eyes locked with hers, he wiped the red lipstick off her lips and licked his thumb.
Chandini (stammering) - What are you doing?
Advay (leaning forward) - Completing the task which I left midway
Stating so, he fused their mouths together and smooched her hard. Then angling her face properly moved his lips on her soft petals while her hands automatically started caressing his shoulder blades. Jolts of electricity passed through his spine when their lips crashed against each other while Chandini could feel her knees turning jelly and clutched onto her blazer tightly. Inorder to stop her from slumping, Advay entangled his legs with hers to keep her stable. Once they were accurately positioned, Advay roamed his tongue tracing the outline of her lips and urged her to open her mouth so that he could explore her. Chandini's hands started massaging his thick black mane and she herself kissed him passionately seeking an entrance in his mouth. She sealed her lips tightly when she felt him nudging her with his tongue to open her mouth. Advay bit her lips a little too hard as he was getting frustrated by her denial. Instead of gasping Chandini bit his lower lip wildly making him hiss and taking a chance entered his mouth to taste every nook and corner of the treasure. When she was about to pull out her tongue, Advay captured it in his mouth and sucked her hard. Catching her wrists, he locked them above her head and she moaned at the loss of contact. Grabbing the opportunity, Advay wildly drank the sweetness of her lips and occasionally gave light pecks to annoy her. He bit her and roamed his tongue inside the delicious cave of her mouth while Chandini repeated his action of sucking his tongue. Freeing her hands, she harshly pulled his hair while he pinched her waist. Their tongues met again and fought for dominance. Minutes later, when Advay realised her getting out of breath, he parted reluctantly gasping for her.
The room was silent except the sound of ragged breaths echoed the room.
Advay (pressing his forehead with hers) - I am sorry. I should have controlled myself during the shot. Forgive me for the embarrassment you faced in front of your father
Chandini (softly) - You do owe me an apology for the awkward situation with my father. Just answer me, this is not the first time that you shot such scenes. I had heard that you are a thorough professional when it comes to enact such scenes. Then what happened today?
Advay - Don't you get it? Because this time it was YOU. You foolish woman. I ought to lose myself around you
Chandini blushed and was tongue tied as she didn't know what to reply
Chandini (softly) - Let me go
Advay - What if I don't?
Chandini (sternly) - If you don't then I will call my father
Advay narrowed his eyes and moved few steps backwards
Advay - Please. Please do the honours. I also want him to know that he couldn't keep his daughter away from me. Rather, I want him to know our truth and l long to see that paleness on his face when he comes to know that I am his Damaad (son in law) and he is my Sasurjee (father in law)
6 months back
Advay and his manager cum best friend Raj had gone to see a play in Prithvi theatre. The second he watched the actress he was instantly drawn to her. And then throughout the play he never removed his gaze from her. He came out of his trance when the audience gave a thunderous applause. He immediately asked Raj to gather all the information about the girl as soon as possible. It was then he came to know that her name was Chandini and that her father Yash owned the theatre and directed the plays. She was a 19 year old and in her second year of graduation. It was not love at first sight but rather a connection he felt the moment he saw her. After that, he would come to watch almost all her plays and secretly also watch her at the backstage. According to him, she was a normal vivacious, jovial, bubbly and lively girl yet she was different. But what attracted him was her warmth and maturity. One such day Chandini caught him red handed ogling at her while she was getting ready. For the first time, he had fumbled with his words. Chandini knew that he was Advay Singh Raizada but what confused her was that why he was checking her out when he had the reputation of being with so many girls. Somewhere inside her feminine Goddess smirked in pride and she smiled. Then came another shock when he extended his hand for a friendship and not able to resist herself she gladly accepted it. From the time he met her, he never had the urge to roam around with any other girl even though they were just friends he started feeling as if he would cheat her if he thinks of any girl other than Chandini. Advay hax mended his ways and was trying to become a better person just so that Chandini accepts him.
Chandini was not a foolish, being a girl she had an idea that he was interested in her right from the moment he met her. She knew friendship was just an excuse to stay close to her. Intially, she had doubted his intentions but when she started to spend some more time with him she realised that he had improved a lot. She knew he was trying hard to get out of his casanova image. Gradually, she also liked his company and eventually fell in love with him too but she didn't wish to voice it out unless she was sure about Advay's feelings as well. Days later, he hesitantly proposed her and she answered in an affirmative. Advay expressed his wish that he wanted to cast her as the female lead alongside him in his next serial. Chandini informed him that acting was just her hobby and not a dream but Advay encouraged her to take up the project. Chandini also told him that her father would never allow her to work in the entertainment industry but Advay assured her that he would handle him.
Advay knew that Yash Vashishth was a difficult man. Advay wished to make a serial on one of the plays written by Chandini herself but Yash was not ready to give them the rights. Moreover, he had clearly stated a no about Chandini being casted as the female lead. He calmly told his father who was the producer to offer Yash that he would be the one to don the director's hat and then his daughter would be under his direct supervision. Advay knew that Yash didn't like guys like him and was an over protective father. In no way, he would let his daughter work with him. Advay smartly made the contract copy in which it was written that there would be no fuss over the male leads and if the director wished to leave the show then he would compensate an amount equal to 50 times his own salary as well as he would be sued by the producers. However, when Yash signed the contract, Advay had somehow managed to hide that last clause and had traced Yash's signatures on those papers. When Yash came to know about the male lead, as expected he created a ruckus and alleged them of fraud. Advay knew he had trapped him but he had no other option and this was the only way he dealt with people like Yash. Chandini was equally unhappy that he had cheated her father but eventually did understand that there was no other alternative they could use to make her father agree. Even Chandini consoled her father and after days of buttering and persuasion he finally gave his consent.
Advay was on cloud 9 as he was really eager to spend some quality time and romantic moments with his love. But his happiness was short lived as Yash had some other plans. Whenever Advay and Chandini would rehearse for a close or intense scene, he would barge in their vanity and distract them. Whatever it was, Chandini being a daughter really felt uncomfortable to practise in front of her father and hence the rehearsal would turn to be an awkward blunder where Advay would always be at uneasiness as he could constantly feel Yash's penetrating gaze while Chandini would end up stammering her dialogues. Advay knew he had to do something to keep this man away, hence he planned to increase the workload in his theatre. The plan was successfully executed and Advay and Chandini heaved a sigh of relief atleast for few days. It was one such day when they were to shoot for a marriage sequence, the Pandit accidentally chanted the right wedding mantras. When the scene was shot, the pandit fearfully approached Advay and Chandini and revealed his blunder. After coming out of the initial shock, Advay sheepishly grinned while Chandini's head ached as she dropped on the chair. Advay handed the pandit few bundles of notes to keep his mouth shut and shooed him away. He was grateful that her father was not present on the sets otherwise he would have definitely had a heart attack. After days of cajoling, sweet talks, counselling, reality check and assurances, Chandini was finally able to digest the changed dynamics of their relationship and that they were truly married. When Advay expressed his wish to disclose their marriage in public, she was petrified at her father's reaction. Howmuchever close bond she shared with her father, that ounce of fear and still lingered. Advay tried to knock some sense in her by telling her that she had not deceived her father, it was just that their marriage was a twisted one. But Chandini knew her father well, he would never buy this reason of destiny, fate, luck instead he would accuse Advay of playing a dirty game of marriage by bribing the pandit. And in no way she could tolerate anyone hurling such false accusations against Advay even if it was her own father. Taking a middle route, she told Advay to trust her and when the right time comes she would herself declare about their marriage to her father. Hence it's been 3 months and their marriage was still a secret affair
Present
Chandini (nearing Advay with tears in her eyes) - I am sorry baby. I know it's been quite sometime and that I should have informed my father about the truth of our relation but whenever I muster up some courage and decide to tell him, the hatred he holds for you makes me lose my confidence and I take two steps back
Advay (cupping her cheeks and wiping her tears) - Hey love, I was just kidding. I understand your dilemma very well. I know it's not easy for you. I am aware that you are feeling grinded between your husband and father. And always remember this, I trust you with my life
Chandini hugged him tight and sobbed lightly while he patted her head
Advay - But I would like to confess one thing today. I am actually enjoying this secret phase of our marriage where I make immense efforts just to get your small glimpse, relishing the food you bring for me cooked by your own hands, you cautiously applying the sindoor in the partition and hiding it with your hair, your sneaking out of the house for our late night dates, our dozens of kisses in the hideout, behaving like strangers in front of all when in reality we can't bear the pain of staying away inspite of being married, that longing to be together
Chandini (relaxing) - I too love this hide and seek game...(saying in a hushed tone) CHORI CHORI
Advay (completing her) - CHHUPKE CHHUPKE
