Red - A Celebration to Love and Life!
"What are we doing here again?" Tanveer frustratedly asked the entire QH cast, who were squished together, hiding under Faru's bed.
Aahil rolled his eyes. "Unbelievable... It's her birthday and we're here to surprise her"
Sanam eyed him. "Of course, why else. I made her my special kheer. She is going to LOVE it" Sanam said proudly.
"Haya... Haya, I love you" Faiz whispered, nudging Haya who was mashed up between him and Rahat.
"Shut up, Faiz. She can't lip read here in the dark!" Rahat said.
Rehan moved closer to Sunehri. "Can I talk to you about what happened?" he whispered.
"Now? Are you crazy, Rehan? Lateef, move up a bit" Sunehri elbowed him.
"No space... main toh... hui chui mui"
"Ab main bolungi toh bologe ki bolti hain" Razia muttered, rolling her eyes at Lateef.
"Allah miya what's wrong with you, Mr Khan?" Zoya exclaimed to Asad, who was trying to get frisky in the dark, small space.
"Uhhh... who, actually..."
"Guys, I can hear her coming" Haider said.
"Can't wait, can you? I can give you a few tips if you want? After all, I am Bhopal's hottest bachelor" Ayaan said.
Humeira twisted his ear painfully. "That was before me. Watch your mouth!"
" Kitni pyari Bachi hai Faru!" Dilshad mumbled in a corner, and Rashid took this oopurtunity to get chummy...
"Dilshad ...main.."
"Quiet! All of you!" Gaffur's voice boomed through, effectively shutting everyone up.

Farz hummed along to the song playing, her headphones securely on her head as she made her way to her room after lunch.
"Hmmm... Best lunch ever!" she thought to herself as she remembered the delicious Nasi Lemak Mummy had prepared for her for her birthday.
She let her headphones hang around her neck, and as she was about to step into her bedroom, she heard shuffling and hushed whispers.
Halting and looking around, she was confused when it seemed that there was no one around. Shrugging, she stepped inside, only to have a bunch of people jump up all around her.
Faru's eyes widened.
"No... OMG! This can't be..." she smiled to herself, thinking she was losing her mind at seeing the Qubool Hai cast all over her bedroom.
Najma nudged Zoya. "Zoyaaa! Do something!" she hissed.
Zoya nodded and then stepped to Faru. Faru looked at her. "I'm going crazy, aren't I? Maybe the fever's back...?" she asked, checking her own forehead.
Zoya stepped back a bit, then flung her arms out wide. Asad pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew what was coming.
"Zindagi hai pencil, kismat hai rubber
Zindagi hai pencil, kismat hai rubber,
I have called to give you a good khabar!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FARZ!" they finally all screamed.
"OMG! This is really happening. You really are all here? Heee!!!" she exclaimed, running off to close her bedroom door so she wouldn't have to share any of the cast with her family.
Asad stepped ahead of everyone.
"Don't get too excited, everyone. Faru is mine. We all know that..."
"Excuse me?! She's mine. What do you have, that I don't? I mean, I have six packs" Aahil argued.
Asad smirked. "I have eight, and besides, she likes my dimples better"
"My lean back turns her into Lady Gaga!"
"She fainted when she saw my back last season. Besides did you ever parade just in a towel and nothing else?"
Farz was about to break up the little tiff when suddenly her door swung open, and ...
Curtains started to fly; wind blew musically romantic, and a mandolin played...
"Tuhjhe dekha tho yeh jaanna Sanam, Pyar hota hai Deewana Sanam. ...Tum Meri ho Sirf Meri FARUUU!"
Sharuuu!!!" she screamed, nearly hyperventilating. Sanam ran to her and patted her back. "Breathe, breathe"
"I think I'm about to faint..." Lateef swooned.
"Listen boys. Faru is mine. The name is Khan , KING Khan. You guys are just television stars... I'm
Big Screen, Bigger picture! Okay?"
He took Faru's hand and kissed it...
Faru looked one from to the other, to the other, and blushed.
All this attention. All for her.
She started hyperventilating again.
Asad and Aahil couldn't argue with the man. They stepped back and Shah Rukh walked to Faru, linking his arm in hers.
"Shall we?"
They started to leave a bewildered QH cast behind, when...
*Cue Music*

Faru shook her head in disbelief as Hrithik stepped into her bedroom and removed Shah Rukh' arm from hers.
He thrust his pelvis forward, Elvis-style.
"Mere paas eight packs, aur Bang Bang hai. You are mine"
Faru nodded in a daze and finally left with him.
Eight packs AND bang bang? It was an offer she couldn't refuse.
Besides... that pelvis thrust had got her all hot and bothered.
And they lived happily ever after.
Or did they...?

One month later: Emperor's Palace, Johannesburg, South Africa
"Where is she, man?" KVB asked his crew. "Still not here, boss"
He ran his hands through his hair in frustration. Bloody Tamara had promised him she'd send Faru a ticket and get her to the show in South Africa.
"Dude, it's almost your turn. You need to break out of this funk. It doesn't look like she's coming" KVB's manager said to him, patting him on the back and eyeing out the Nutella cupcakes that KVB had baked himself for Faru.
KVB looked at him, tears in his eyes. "You... *sniff*... don't understand. I heard she really wanted to be here... and then... I can't go on without her here. It just... I can't, ...it hurts so bad...All this f***ing effort without her is a waste..." he cried.
"So you're not going to perform just because this Faru isn't here?" his manager asked in disbelief.
"That's right... Oh, Faruuu... where are you?" KVB howled, tears streaming down his face.
Faru stood at the door to the green room, her heart melting. Seeing her new love, KVB in such pain had her smiling somewhat.
"I should put him out of his misery" she thought to herself. "But just a bit more crying won't hurt" she thought sadistically.
"Oh Faruuu... I need you. Why are you *sniff* doing this *sniff* to me?"
"Oh KVB, my sayang" Faru called from the threshold.
"Faruuu!" You are here" He wiped his tears with the back of his hands...
"Did you too lose faith in my character? Did you too think I don't deserve you. Tell me Faru, tell me! Tell me what you want me to say, what can I do to prove that i am madly still in love with you...? Ask Faru! Ask but dont give up on me just yet... Because ..."
"Because what, KVB...?"
"Because...Because...because...Jumme Ke Raat hai.. Jumme Ki Baat hai...Allah bachaye..."
Farz watched delightedly until she could take no more and joined him.
KVB gave his tumkas, and mixed it with latkas and matkas...Faru twirled her anarkali with the beats...
"KVB ji!"
"Yes...?"
"Will you cry for me one more time...?"
"For you, my Faru... I will cry every single day... angst, heart bleeding crying... morning, noon and night..."
"Sigh..Welll that is all i wanted to hear..."
Happy Birthday Faru...I love you. This is for you..."
"What is this?"
She opened the envelope that he handed to her. There were two movie tickets.
...
"For you i will watch my own movie one more time. Empty theatre; just you and I"
"Hayyyeee KVB!"
"Hayeee Hayeee Faru..."
And none of This would've been possible without The gorgeous Juliet And JasmineRose, who put their blood, sweat and tears into this thread. Thank you girls!
Ok Ok, it wasn't blood and sweat; it was sugar n spice, and all things NICE - just like all the lovelies on IF ;)
