Part 1
SSPPPLAAASSHH!!!
Shabir turned from the drink table with the sound of something fall into the huge pool. It was the MTV style icon year night. They were celebrating the party after the ceremony which had turned quite an event that evening. He saw the MTV crew members throwing one by one from a group nearby.
"What's happening there?" Shabir asked turning to the bartender who was smiling with amusement.
"Oh that, you don't know?" he asked and seeing the look on shabir's face, it was obvious that he had no idea about the whole thing. Laughing, he continued. "The people whom they are throwing into the pool are the entire cast of kitni mast hai zindagi show"
Shabir's eyes widened with that and immediately turned on to see them. he had heard from his mentor, Ekta kapoor that she was starting a new show on MTV but since he was too busy with his on going project, Kahiin to Hoga, he didn't had a chance to look out for the auditions though MTV has been his all time favorite channel besides the discovery channel.
He took a quick look at the crew one by one. they all were the hero-heroin material for sure. He saw all drenched completely like a duck. He began to laugh along with the others seeing the state they were in. he saw everyone except for a single person who was turned back at him. she was the only one who wasn't creating much fuss in the pool unlike others who were shouting and splashing water enjoying themselves but instead she stood there quietly wrapping her arms around trying to overcome the coldness of the water. He felt an instant urge to see who it was. He could see that she was wearing a black halter neck dress with her straight hair loosed which fell up to her near waist.
Shabir saw her move quietly to the stairs of the pool and pull herself from there. He saw her talk to someone probably asking for something and that person pointed towards the drink table. Shabbir watched carefully as she turned her head slowly. He was taken aback at the very moment. 'she's beautiful' was all he could whisper. She seemed simple to him but yet, an angel. He saw her walk towards the table slowly shaking nodding her heads to the passing guest.
"I'm a dead duck" She thought wryly. "Mom's gonna kill me" Panchi made her way near the drink table and it was only then she was aware that someone was watching her. she looked up and her jaw dropped seeing the person who was watching her. She couldn't believe her eyes. she couldn't believe that she was seeing her fourth major crush after Amitabh, Shahrukh and Rajeev. It was Shabir. The same brat who was the root of her favorite couple's troubles. She wanted to slap him for ruining Sujal and Kashish's life but then on, it was just a show and he had no hand in it anyway. Gulping hard, she made a straight face and moved towards the table. Ekta had told her that it was just the beginning of her carrier and she would be meeting a lot of people. She had no idea that she would meet one of her favorite so soon. She was elated as well as happy.
She stood near the counter and stood next to shabbir. Not wanting to glance at him, she began to talk to the bartender.
"Excuse me; can you get me a towel please?"
"Sure mam, I'll be right back" the bartender replied pouring a glass to whiskey and handling it to a customer.
She turned to him sensing he was still watching her and smiled before turning back. She began to tap her fingers on the counter nervously.
"Hi" She heard him say.
"Hello" She replied.
"I'm Shabir" he extended his hands for a handshake.
"I know" She saw his brows lift with surprise. Smiling broadly, she took his hands and giving it a shiny shook. "I'm Panchi"
"Panchi, nice name" he repeated. "Congratulations by the way, you got a good role it seems what's your part?"
"Oh I'm playing the main lead Ananya" She told him excitedly. It was then, the bartender came with the towel and handed it to her. taking it gratefully she began to wipe her hair causing some of the droplets fall on his face. She saw him flinch. "Sorry" she apologized sheepishly. 'Mom's gonna kill me' she muttered under her breath which didn't go unheard.
"believe me, even I was a little scared when I got slightly drunk during a party and you know, its damn funny, it was just the beginning of my career and I was so scared that mom and dad would kill me and would keep me grounded forever but thankfully it didn't happen," She heard him tell her.
Shabir had no idea what he was blabbering about. He knew that she was just a normal girl but seeing her getting more worried about her mom rather than worrying about her make-up really surprised him. he had seen girls going furious over their dresses and make-up but the one who was standing in front of him didn't care about either of it. Since he too was a family person, he couldn't stop himself from talking about it when she said it.
"sorry" he murmured taking his glass for a sip.
Panchi watched him closely. He was so different like his onscreen character like two sides of a coin. There he was a total irritating brat, but here, he makes so easy conversations and she didn't feel like as if she was talking to one of the tele-celebrity rather an ordinary guy.
"you aren't really lik-" Panchi was about to say when she saw him wave at someone she looked at the direction and saw a girl dress in casual jeans and apron shirt appear out of the crowd.
Panchi felt an immediate pang of jealousy hit her as he smiled at the girl. 'well, all celebrities are pretty much same' she thought disappointedly and turned her heels to walk away when he stopped her.
"you going?" he asked.
"Yeah, its getting late and mom's expecting me, see you" she replied walking away.
"by the way, how did you know me?" he asked wanting to know exactly how. He knew that she might've probably seen him from the serials but still, wanted to know. He loves his fans and loves to hear their constructive criticizes.
"Rishi" Panchi turned and to give a quick reply before running off, disappearing into the crowd.
Shabir began smiling from ear to ear. He was elated to hear that most of his fans love his bratty character Rishi. Though he thought that most will hate him for that.
"it seems like that all loves the bad boys" he smiled shaking her head.
"Who?"
"Hey Sanju" Shabir embraced his friend to a friendly hug. "Where's Amir?" He asked.
"How am I suppose to know?" Sanjeeda said coolly. "I'm not his girlfriend"
"Oh yeah, you aren't" Shabir teased. "You are just his close friend" he said to which Sanjeeda blushed deeply. She gave him a tight slap on his back before telling him to change the topic. "Believe me; I will tease you ten times more when you repeat the same dialogue over and over again when you are linked with someone"
"So, have you met anyone yet?" Sanju asked after sometime taking a sip from her drink.
"No, not yet" he replied.
"who was that girl whom you were talking to?"
"She is the new lead for the show"
"You like her?"
"She's okay, and no, don't even think about it"
"Oh come on Shabir, when are you going to stay like that?"
"Till you and Amir gets together" he replied coolly wanting to change the topic. Sanju had been lecturing him on the same topic every now and then and every time, he gave her the same answer.
"Shut up shabir and be serious" sajnu shot an angry look at her.
"I dunno sanju, I don't think destiny have anyone for me as yet" Shabir sighed and watch the night come alive.
Panchi was waiting for her cousin to pick her up from the party. Since she didn't carry her phone that day, there was no way she could call up and ask for him. She decided to wait rather than bothering people begging to use their phone. She wrapped the towel around her tightly trying to overcome the chilliness of the night.
"are you waiting for someone?" Panchi startled as she heard someone behind her. She turned to see shabbir leaning on his bike with his arms folded around his chest.
"yes, my cousin" She replied and turned her head to the road to see if her cousin was coming. As it was late and more guests started to arrive, the gate area was getting a bit crowded. Panchi stood there trying to overcome the stares she was getting from all the people entering the place.
Shabir on seeing this, told her to come with him to the check-point area at the end of the road where her cousin might probably be stuck. Thinking that he might be correct, she offered to walk with him there.
Shabir tried to pick up light conversations but the whole time, Panchi kept quite. Usually, she loved being in conversations but the chilliness of the atmosphere had made her numb to the core. Her throat seemed as if it had been sealed shut. She shivered. Shabir saw her shiver and he immediately took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. Panchi smiled in gratitude but she felt severely uncomfortable as she saw some people staring at them. they would probably think that I'm one of those who goes on hanging around celebrities for fun.
"Don't worry about them" Shabir told her thrusting his hands into his pockets. "they would forget it the moment they see someone else like us"
Panchi watched him carefully, she was really wrong about him. he is a gentlemen in every sense. Not once, he had tried to flirt around with her to which she knew that if it was someone else, he would probably show off his popularity and charms to nonetheless.
She saw the flickering lights of her cousins' bike made his way towards her. She let out a huge sigh of relief when she saw him.
"Vicky you were suppose to come at 10, its almost 11 now" Panchi scolded him as soon as he stopped his bike. Shabir stood beside her watching with amusement at as she went on scolding him.
"Meri maa, please chup ho jaao" he folded his hands in front of her causing Shabir to chuckle. "One of my tires got flat so got late"
"Why don't you throw away this khatara motorcycle and buy a new one?" Panchi suggested irritated hopping on the bike.
"oye! Don't call this khatara ok, this is my one and only love" Vicky said running his hands lovingly over the handles. He didn't notice Shabir stand by him who was grinning from ear to ear.
"HIII" Vicky shouted at the very instant causing Panchi to cover her ears. "I know you, you are him right? Panchi look, its-its-"
"Shabir" Shabir extended his hands to him to which Vicky took them excitedly.
"Yess! Boy I'm so glad to meet you man, I tell you, this panchi and priya na"
"Vicky come on lets go" panchi said nervously as Vicky tried to expose out her little secret in front of Shabir. "Mom's gonna kill me"
"This Panchi na-"
"VICKYY!!" Panchi shouted causing both Shabir and Vicky to look at her in surprise.
"I think you should go" Shabir told him letting out a small laugh.
"Yeah I think so too or else, this lady wont let me be" Vicky replied and shaking his hands once more. "bye man" Shabir nodded his head in response.
Panchi took off his jacket and handed it to him. Shabir took it from her and smiled.
"Thanks once again"
"No problem" he replied.
"so, hope to see you soon" Panchi smiled and with that, Vicky sped away. Panchi turned back and waved at him to which shabir too waved her back and watched them till they were out of sight. "Soon" he murmured thinking that if destiny would really let them meet again soon.
