Arhi FF-100 Takes-A Tinsel Town Story - *NOTE* pg 109- Page 52

Their kiss became passionate every second, his hands went into her top and touched her waist skin... she wriggled under him and her hands moved under his shirt... her thin fingers touched his hard packs...

He bit her upper lip and her nails dug into his stomach... He sucked them... as her nails scratched his back... his hand twisted her waist skin making red marks on them... he pushed up her top and exposed her pink bra...

She froze as his hand landed on one of her breasts... his eyes flew open and so did hers... his hand still on her breast... they looked at each other and shot away, Arnav landed on the floor... She flushed...

K: what happened just now...? She asked giving a confused look at him...

A: I've no idea... and he slammed his hands on his face...

K: why do you have macaroni stuck to your hair and why the hell do you have cheese on your ears...

She took the macaroni off his hair...

Arnav turned to her... Khushi there is sauce all over your clothes and your lips...have swollen up...

K: Arnav...! We were almost on the verge of having... oh gosh no... she dug her face in a pillow...

A: Khushi... he uttered in a gravelly voice... did we have... I mean... did we... in the car... that night...?

K: nooo... came a muffled voice from the pillow...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K: you go to that washroom... I'll go to the bedroom... here are your spare clothes...

A: thanks. He took the clothes and walked into the washroom...

...

Khushi had undressed herself and looked at her in the mirror... there were red marks on her waist; her lips had swollen up...

K: oh god... oh god...

...

Arnav ran his fingers on the scratch marks...

A: this girl had some tough nails... god!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V: Swayam... I have to tell you this... I can't keep it to myself anymore...

S: what is it Vish?

V: that night... Arnav and Khushi had kissed each other in the car, but they did not make out...

S: yeah, okkay... so...

V: no, the part that I need to share is that... they had almost ripped off each other's clothes and if they were a bit less drunk they surely would have had...

S: what?

V: yep... I mean to say that they have a different kind of attraction from each other and very soon something might happen... I was taking it as a joke... but after the scene I saw that night... I think they should be made to realise what they feel about each other... that's good for both of them and that'll keep Lavanya and her silly tricks away from Arnav as well as the movie...

S: hmm... but the thing is how do we tell them this... they'll surely take in a wrong sense...

V: hmm...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K: Arnav does coke has alcohol content in it...?

A: I guess no, I'm not sure, why?

K: I'm sure we did it under the influence of alcohol...

A: keep quiet... I don't even want to think about it...

K: I hope it doesn't affect our work... outdoor shoots begin in 5 days and we have a press conference before that...

A: hmm...

K: Arnav, see I really like you... but I can't imagine us doing... that...

A: same here... now please will you stop talking about it... talk about something else...

K: do you like Barbie?

A: what?

K: I love her...

A: what are you saying?

K: and Ken is also very cute and handsome...

A: now who the hell is Ken?

K: Barbie's boy friend...

A: who the hell is Barbie?

K: A doll, you fool...

A: why are you talking about dolls... he asked in an irritated tone...

K: Arrey, you only asked me to talk about something else and this is the 1^st thing that came to my mind...

A: you are such a kid... god just too adorable... what the...?

K: this is not working out Arnav...

A: hmm...

K: we feel something about each other, but what?

A: I'm confused...

K: so am i...

A: hey, let's give us a chance...

K: As in...?

A: let's try to find out, exactly what we feel about each other...

K: hmm... okkay... but how?

A: I have a plan... and he gave a devil like smirk...

Khushi looked at him like an innocent kitten; Arnav fell for it and took her lips into his... Khushi too opened up to let him in...

They looked at each other as they stopped to breathe...

A: "we have something..." he uttered as Khushi started at him...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A: "Vish, think yaar... our images will also be saved and we can pose Lavanya as someone who had lost her natural senses... as in you know... the lunatic kinds..." he smirked raising an eyebrow...

V: "is Khushi okkay with it...?"

A: "yeah, absolutely..."

V: really? He asked eyeing Arnav with suspicion...

A: "well kind of..."

V: "mmhmm... I ain't letting you do this without her permission..."

A: come on...

V: "no ways Arnav... we'll discuss this with her first and then..."

K: "I'm in..." she interrupted their discussion as she entered the hall... she smiled at Arnav

A: there you go... he said happily...

V: are you sure? I mean... there is just 75 percent chance that people will buy it...

K: vish I think this risk is worth taking... it'll sell really well, I guarantee you...

V: okkay then... I'll inform Swayam about it... everyone will be here any moment now...

A: yup, let's go sit in the conference hall...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S: well it's kind of a good plan... don't you think so...? he turned to Payel...

P: it actually is... and if everyone is in for it... there is no problem...

V: so when do you want the press conference...?

A: how about this Friday?

K: it's three days from today Arnav, what if Lavanya does something else...?

A: nah... she won't...

K; how can you be so sure...?

A: let me tell you something about Lavanya... she becomes visible only when she thinks that something belonging to her is at stake...

S: yes... if we can stay invisible till Friday... she too will be invisible...

P: so no fittings, no practicing... no nothing with Lavanya?

S: no... not till Friday... we cannot take the risk... by chance she realises that we are up to something... she'll make a move...

K: oh god...! I feel like I'm sitting at a briefing of a criminal... she said clutching her head...

A: she's nothing more than that... he said and ended with a long sigh...

Vishal sipped onto his coffee and looked at Swayam... Swayam nodded and

S: vish, why don't you make arrangements for the 1^st rehearsal...

V: "yeah... nice... bye...see you later guys" and he sprinted out of the room...

K: what's wrong with Vishal? She thought...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FRIDAY MORNING...

A: "all set?" he asked Swayam as he entered the hall...

S: yes absolutely...

Khushi entered the floor...

K: are you sure that Lavanya knows nothing about this press con?

S: yeah why...?

K: no actually... I saw her secretary enter the auditorium, while I was coming up...

S&A: what...? They uttered in a shocked state...

A: do something... we cannot let this last chance slip out of our hands...

S: mm... I'll find out why that nincompoop is here...

K: I hope everything will be fine... she said with a tensed tone...

A: Khushi, don't worry, Swayam will handle everything...

K: mm I hope so...

A: come... we'll sit there...

After a while Swayam entered followed by Vish...

A: "hey what's up...?"

S: "don't ask... like boss, like assistant..."

K: hmm... so he's gone right...? Lavanya won't know a thing, na?

S: no... I don't think so... and as it is the press con starts in an hour, she cannot do anything in so little time.

K&A: mmm...

After an hour,

Rep1: so Arnav, is the rumour about your and La's breakup true?

A: yes, it is true...

Rep2: sir then why was it kept hidden?

A: we had a few personal reasons...

Rep1: Arnav, sir, what was the reason for your breakup?

A: Actually, we were having some family issues regarding our relationship...

Rep3: is it true that La's whims and fancies and her habits were not acceptable by the Raizada family?

A: yes, it is something like that...

Rep1: when exactly did you breakup sir?

A: it's been almost 7 to 8 months now...

Rep2: sir, was La's statement about seeing you and Miss Gupta at the parking lot false?

A: yes, absolutely, she gave that statement out of utter jealousy and frustration...

Rep3: why was La jealous of Khushi sir?

A: you see Khushi is Khushi Shashi Gupta and she is my fiance.

There was a wave of buzz within the whole hall... everyone looked at one another... Khushi gave a doubtful look at Arnav...

Rep4: Sir, is La trying to do an anti propaganda against your relationship?

A: yes, she is trying to create a bad image of mine in the industry and to the audience... she basically cannot accept the fact that Khushi and I are happy in this relationship and it is very much accepted in my family... my family members love Khushi... La and her habits are not acceptable anywhere...

Vishal curled his fingers into a fist and punched his thigh hard... his jaws were clenched and he was glaring at the floor... Khushi noticed his behaviour and frowned... she made a mental note of speaking to him after the conference was over...

Rep5: Why was there no engagement ceremony Arnav?

A: actually Khushi was in London all this while and we had a small private engagement ceremony there...

Rep5: sir...

That very moment the door flew open and

Voice: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE? ARNAV IS ENGAGED?
