SidNi OS:You are my fav heroine
Roshni's POV
"Yes ,now you have to lean in and kiss. It will be an easy shot! I am sure you guys can do that. Come on ,are we ready guys?" the director asked with hopeful eyes.
I gulped down my saliva ,My God doesn't this idiot director know that I can't do this? I can't control myself when it comes to Mr. Bubbly.
I glanced slowly to face him and he was staring back at me. Seeing the fire in his eyes ,I was shaken up to an unimaginable extent.
"Roshni, can you do this?" the director asked stealthily ,he seemed scared of my answer. I tried really hard to keep my anger in check and not answer him back.
"Sure Sir ,we can do it. I'll talk to her!" his voice calmed me down like it always did. I dared not look back again at him.
Next moment I was being dragged towards a corner and he was facing me. I knew it as my heartbeats were raised erratically.
I hadn't looked back into his eyes ,I always got lost in them as I stared in them. He had the power to hold me captive ,as if he was a hypnotist!
"Roshni." he spoke my name and I shivered involuntarily. He might have thought it was due to the cold all around.
I finally gathered courage and his gaze met mine but he held an expression which was unfathomable for me. He was surprisingly smirking at me.
I couldn't help but blush on his reaction. I felt blood rushing to my cheeks and he put ahead a hand stroking my cheeks.
I was totally into the moment ,I had my eyes closed. He kept on drawing patterns on my cheek while I just felt peaceful inside my head and heart.
He left me after a while and I felt an empty void ,as if something I so badly wanted was slipping away from me.
"You will do it ,okay we will do it. We are in this together!" Siddharth replied and I nodded my head agreeing to him.
He was gone and I kept looking as he got lost. "I will make "US" happen." I spoke with a wide smile lingering on my face.
"Okay ,lights ,camera ,action!" a voice came and deafened my ears. I just couldn't understand why I was being so nervous. It would get over in no time.
"Come on Roshni. Focus!" I thought convincingly to myself. He was approaching me and I was really scared of what was about to happen next!
"I have always loved you Neha(Roshni's reel name). I don't know how and when but you are the ruler of my heart. Please let me be a slave for your heart! I promise I'll guard it forever!" he spoke in a flow.
I was numb ,his words were making me teary. I didn't know when my vision became blurry and I was spilling tears ,of course they were happy tears!
"Cut it!" the shrill voice of the director broke my reverie. I was shocked and saw him glaring at me ,I was suddenly very frightened.
"What are you doing Roshni? You don't have to cry okay? Just reply back with your dialogues." the director said rather rudely.
I was again on verge of tears when Siddharth blinked his eyes to make me feel comfortable. I was assured of being fine after getting a nod from him.
Siddharth meanwhile cooled off the director and he asked to start off the scene again. Siddharth repeated his dialogues again!
"I love you too Sahil(Siddharth's reel name). I just don't know when our friendship turned to so deep intense love. I just can't think of a day without you. Whenever a girl comes close to you ,I am jealous ,whenever we fight ,I can't sleep at night and whenever you smile because of me ,I feel like I have been blessed by God!" I spoke and it seemed like I had poured out my feelings to him and not Neha's.
He was eyeing me with a glint in his eyes ,it was as if he was acknowledging my words and giving his confirmation to my confession.
He started coming close to me. He held my hands and eyes them like they were petals which were like pearls in his hands.
His eyes met mine and I couldn't waiver off from his longing eyes. I pulled him closer by his collar and he was shocked to be precise and so was I.
I was shocked at my actions but my heart wasn't giving me room to think. I started playing with the hem of his shirt while he was stiffening by my side.
"I love you Siddharth." I whispered so slowly that no one but he could hear. He was stunned and stood rooted to his place.
"Kiss now." we heard a faint sound of our director and I started to initiate not because it was in the script but because I wanted to kiss him now and forever.
Siddharth suddenly came out from his day-dream and pulled me closer by my waist. I fell on his hard chest and my heartbeats rose.
He cupped my face and that moment I could see no one but him. His lips were the only thing I could see but suddenly my brain connected back to my body and I pushed him away.
I was astonished at my action just as much as he was. He stood there trying his best to maintain cool but I could see the anger in his eyes.
"CUT IT!" we heard a roar and the next second the director was hurling in my direction. He looked like an angry beast ready to pounce on me.
"Are you freaking insane? Such an amazing shot was going to take place and you spoilt it with your stupidity." he said in a go.
"Why do girls like you even come in the industry? If you can't do these things then just to hell with you. Just go ,you are out of my show!" he said in an anger-laced tone.
I was hurt but I needed my saviour to stand up for me ,so I eyed him and while he had been looking at the commotion happening right now ,he just wavered his face away as soon as I looked at him.
This hurt me more. So I was a nobody to him afterall ,just another actress!" I sighed with a heavy heart and passed a small smile to him.
Siddharth's POV
She went away passing a small smile to me. I was hurt so I didn't care to even give a look to her. Why had she pulled back?
Why was she so hesitant? Didn't she feel for me too? Was I wrong in interpreting her feelings for me? Why did her actions tell me the same as well?
I chucked these thoughts away ,it was time to give a reality check to someone else too. So I turned to the director and planted a punch in his face.
He was surprised for sure. I picked him up from the ground from his collars and said ,"Listen you. Don't ever ,and I mean ever speak nonsense about any girl."
I didn't want to speak Roshni's name as then there would be rumours and I didn't want her to fall in trouble. I was still disturbed and angry on her.
But this guy had crossed his limits ,he had dared to insult my Roshni. I was bubbling like a dragon and if not for the people around I would have murdered him.
"Just start respecting women for what they are and you are no Steven Spielberg that Roshni would be dying to work with you." I thundered on him and he hung his face down.
"Even shove your show and take it with you. I am not doing it anymore!" I said and went away flinging my jacket on my shoulders.
I started searching crazily to find her out ,I know she might be hurt by what commenced ,I had to console her. I had to be with her.!
She was standing outside her vanity sobbing ,I held her hand and made her sit quietly on the steps to the entry of the vanity.
As soon as I was about to open my mouth to say something ,she flung into my arms and hugged me. It wasn't a friendly hug.
She was digging into me ,she wanted solace in my arms. So I hugged her hard and let my feelings for her flow but still one thing was bothering me.
"Why didn't you do that scene Roshni?" I asked still hugging her. She broke the hug and looked down blushing. I wasn't expecting this reaction now.
She started to get up but I held her wrist and she came tumbling on my lap. She was staring in my eyes ,I raised my eyebrows begging her to tell what was in her heart.
"I didn't want our first kiss to be onscreen." she replied and I was bowled over by her innocent as well as bold reply.
My heart stopped beating at the time ,it was as if my unknown wish ,my dream was getting real in front of my eyes.
I recovered from the shock and at a jiffy put my lips on her. She was stunned but replied back and her hands wound into my hair pulling me close.
I readily went with her demand and was now very close to her. She broke the kiss and I kissed her forehead at once.
"You aren't hurt by the director's words na?" I asked her not wanting to discuss the kiss at this time. She shook her head in a No.
She kept her head on my shoulder and playing with my fingers said ,"I was more hurt by your denial." she said and I kissed her hairs assuring her I won't do that ever again.
"And moreover is he Steven Spielberg that I would be dying to work with him?" she asked and I chortled remembering the incident that took place right now.
"So you are going ahead with the show?" she asked slowly and I decided to tease her a bit. So I said ,"Of course!"
"So you will do the scene with some other actress?" she said getting up folding her arms ,her back facing me and I could hear that she was jealous.
I went and hugged her from the back and spoke ,"I won't do the show with anyone else. I will do any other scene only with my fav heroine. I love you Roshni."
She turned around and putting her hands across my neck asked ,"And who might that be?" I laughed at her question.
"She is standing in front of me ,My Bhagyashree!" I said pecking her lips when she hugged me tight and we stood there content and celebrating our real kiss and reel confession of love.
Mangal Lakshmi
