Vineet and the director plan to audition a young guy. He's elated to see Vineet, maybe a fan of him. He gets happy to know that he has been selected for the role, that too, of Vineet's younger brother in the film. He thanks the director.

"This is a dream come true, Sir. I didn't know my first will shot will be with my idol." he says turning to Vineet.

Vineet is touched to hear him. He knows he has a large number of fan following, but he didn't know that there are actors who aspire to become like him. He looks at the young lad.

He is Naman Kapoor.  He aspires to become an actor, and is Vineet's ardent fan. He looks at Vineet.

"Thanks for giving me a chance. I will try my best and won't let you down." Naman says after introducing himself.

Vineet pats his shoulder.

"I believe in you, Naman. Come on, let's get back to work" Vineet says and they move to the green room.

Naman seems happy, after he will get a chance to work with his idol. He's blessed, truly.

Ishika is in the office, checking the designs ready for the summer range. Anamika has asked her to check and let her know. Finishing her check, Ishika makes her way towards Anamika's cabin and knocks the door. Anamika allows her inside the cabin. She enters inside and smiles at her.

"All the designs are ready. You can check."  Ishika says.

"Okay Ishika!  Let's go! And I want you to plan the event this time." Anamika says.

"Me? Why?" Ishika asks, a little perplexed.

"You're doing good, Ishika. And I want you to handle the launch of this summer range. You will do good, I know. I want to see what all you can do efficiently." Anamika says.

Ishika is surprised. She's trusting her so much.  She has to prove herself. She has to win the confidence that Anamika has put into her. Ishika smiles at her boss and agrees to do the task. Anamika smiles and moves to check the designs while Ishika makes a few calls. On the other hand, Anamika is impressed by the work Ishika has delivered. She gives an affectionate smile to Ishika praising her work. Ishika chuckles and thanks her.

*****

The days pass by. It's nearly one and more months that Ishika is working with Anamika. It's the day of the  launch. Ishika is quite nervous as she has been given the authority to pull off the event. Also, she will be walking on the ramp. She's nervous and worried. She's in her cabin when someone presses her shoulder. She turns to find Anamika.

"You could have called me, Ma'am." Ishika says.

"No worries. And we're friends too. Tell me, what's bothering you?"  Anamika says.

"Nothing. Just thinking about the event. I hope it would please you." Ishika says.

"It has pleased me, Ishika. It will be a great success. Now, get ready, we have to leave for the venue." Anamika says tapping her cheeks and leaves the cabin.

Ishika smiles and  feels lucky to come here. Anamika is more than friendly with her. She shushes her thoughts, picks her bag and leaves. Today is the first show of her life. She joins Anamika and her team and they leave for the venue.

*****

Upon reaching the venue, Anamika calls Vineet to know his whereabouts. The phone is ringing but, he's not picking up the call. Suddenly, there's a touch on her waist. Anamika alerts and turns, but finds Vineet. She sighs.

"You scared me." She says glaring at him.

" Eh! I wanted to surprise you, Love."  Vineet says.

"How's your shoot?" Anamika asks as she hugs him.

"Fine! Just final shoot and  I'll be free for a few days, before going to Delhi." Vineet says.

"New shoot??"  Anamika asks.

"Yes Baby!  But don't, worry I'll be free day after tomorrow.". He says.

"You should be. It's your birthday after all.". Anamika says slapping on his arm.

"  When you're with me, everyday is a special, Ana!" he says pulling her closer as they walk into the auditorium where the launch will take place.

Anamika blushes at his words, and pulls him with her towards the first row and makes him sit. She calls Ishika and they plan the turns for the show. Ishika and others agree. It's time for the real show.

The fashion show goes well. The arrangements are praised and so are the designs. Ishika is elated when Anamika puts light on the designs and takes her name as well. They're happy. Their hard work has paid off.

*****

Two days pass by. It's the eve of Vineet's birthday. Ishika is in the office and is packing something and at the same time, Anamika enters the cabin. She notices paper in her hand.

"What are you doing Ishika?" she asks.

Ishika is tensed. She's doing something but she doesn't want to tell Anamika about the same. Anamika is looking at her questioningly.  Ishika smiles.

"You have to promise me that you'll not see it now. You'll go home and see it" Ishika says.

"What? Why are you behaving like a kid?" Anamika says with a smile.

"Please! This is a surprise. It's Vineet' sir's birthday in a day, right?" Ishika asks and Anamika nods affirmatively.

"Then please, both of you open this together. Please. A fan request." Ishika says cutely.

Anamika laughs at her antics and promises her the same. Ishika chuckles and hands over the gift to Anamika while the latter admires her happiness.
