Dill Mile
Hearts meet all the time, but when hearts meet in different countries and are forced to separate, what happens to the people?
Preface
Italy
"Shiya, this article is not finished! Where's the pull? You must, and I mean it, must pull the audience in with your words! Now go and edit this, bring it to me when its properly done, and that means, tomorrow at 8 on the clock" she said calmly from her seat, her hazel eyes glinted in the light as she watched the other girl pale slightly and run off in haste to finish the article like it was wanted.
Meera sighed as she turned off her laptop and placed it in the bag; she zipped up her bag and walked out of her office, turning the bright lights off with a single flick of her finger. The employees greeted their boss as she walked down the hallway, it was lunch time and they were all excited to go out to eat with their groups. She was happy too, lunch meant going to her favorite cafe and drinking coffee with her little sister. Today felt different somehow, as if something was to happen; whatever it was, she was sure it was going to change her life dramatically.
She greeted the waitress with a small smile and ordered her usual, turning her back to the window and taking out her laptop to log in to her email to check new messages from other companies. A few minutes went by as her fingers flew across the keyboard while she typed up replies. Someone fell in the seat next to her with a huff; she did not turn to look, knowing already it was her little cousin, Rinki. "So you're here" she commented as she hit send. Raising a brow she lifted her head to look at the younger girl who was waving at the waitress, ordering her own usual frap.
It always amused Meera when her cousin would order a caramel frap even when it was freezing, the girl loved the drink a bit too much in her opinion. But who was she to say anything, with her always getting her coffee made with extra care? "Umm, sorry?" her cousin said with a sheepish smile, making the answer seem more like a question. She continued to explain her excuse, "See, I was coming and then out of nowhere this dog comes in front of my car and I--" Meera shook her head and raised a hand to silence the girl. Her expression told Rinki all she needed to know and she became quiet with a shrug and half-smile.

He grinned at his best friend as they walked through the sets of their show. His chocolate brown eyes captivated the females of all age working around him to stare and sigh. Suddenly laugher from his friend caused him to stare at the younger man with wonder. "What's wrong with you?" his voice seemed to ooze huskiness as he asked confused. His messy brown locks falling on his forehead as he tilted his head to the side. "Harshad, did you see the way the ladies in this place look at you? It just gave me a picture of you as a piece of steak and them as rabid hungry wolves" Sushant replied before beginning to laugh loudly.
Harshad glared at his friend, "oh like they dont stare at you!" he answered with a huff. Sushant nodded his head with a smirk, "You're right! Besides, why would they stare at a buddha like you when they can have me? The jawan!" he posed and winked at Harshad who was trying to fight down a smile at his antics. "Buddha huh? I'll show you what this buddha can do!" he replied, raising his hand and running after Sushant.
The two friends came to a stop when their bosses, Ms. Shabo and Ms. Kiran came in view. They stuttered for a minute before bowing their head like two kids getting caught red-handed at stealing from a cookie jar by an adult. "Our office you two...pronto!" Shabo said with a grin and turned to leave, followed by Kiran. The boys looked at one another, wondering what was going to happen to them now, they were still wary of the two girls after their "joke-condition" to work under their production house.
Entering the large and uniquely decorated office, they sat down in the chairs carefully, eyeing their manager, Ravjot or as she liked to be called; Ravs. "Okay boys, lets get down to business. You're going to Italy for five months to shoot some scenes for the show, get your packing done by tonight. Your plane leaves at 6 in the morning and Ravs will be going there with you as well as the whole team, obviously" Kiran said bluntly, rolling her eyes at the end to herself with a "duh" expression. The guys stayed quiet for a few seconds before jumping up from their seats excitedly, their wide smiles seemed like they could fall of their face anytime as their eyes twinkled with mischief and wonder.
