Teju and Omi moved towards the car, and the three of them left for home. While going, they had a few conversations regarding Teja's previous South projects, how the industry works there, and everything.

Teju entered the house and received blessings from Kd and Km.

Teju: Uncle, Aunty, bless me.... Aaj meri look test tha.

Kd caressed her hair and made her sit beside him and Km. Sreetu also came out and sat with them.

Sreetu: Teju, tumhari meeting kaisi thi? Aur tumhara co-star kaisa tha? Sab manage kar sakti ho na?

Kd: Haan beta, vahan tume koi alag se treat nahi kiye the, right? 😟

Teju: Nahi uncle. I had a great time today. First, I met my friend, then I attended the meeting with Ekta mam. Also, I met my co-star. After that, we did some look tests and also couple tests. Finally, we had a small meeting with the director sir. That's it.

Teju said this with excitement.

Km: Wow... Wait, tune thik se khana khaya ki nahi? 🤨🧐

Teju smiled at Km. 😊

Teju: Haan... Food is my first love. I love food. Voh toh I will never miss it. 😅

After parking, Karan and Omi entered the house to find a giggling sound. Karan felt content seeing his family and Teju having their sweet time.

Teju: Sreetu, you know, today I met my friend after a long time. He told me two weeks back that he was going to Cape Town for a project, but I was shocked and happy to see him today.

Sreetu: Kon tha voh?

Teju: You know Arjun... Arjun Bijlani, Naagin season 1's hero. He is my friend. I met him today. Last week, he called me and we talked, but I didn't mention that I am coming here.

Km: Oh... He is a big celebrity, right?

Teju: Haan aunty... I met him in Chennai during my dance performance. He knows Tamil, so we clicked together and became best friends... We are in touch with each other.

Omi: Oh... Arjun humare ache dost hai.

Teju: Haan, patha hai. He said Karan is a nice guy.

Omi: Ye kab hua?

Teju: Today. When I met him, he asked me where I am staying. I said I am staying at Sreetu's house. He asked whether it was Karan's sister, and I said yes. Toh he told me that he knows Karan and he is a nice guy, and you can stay there without any fear.

Kd: Acha hai... Teju, mumma papa ko inform kar dia?

Teju tapped her head slightly.

Teju: I forgot it... Ruko, I'll call them now itself.

Teju video-called her mother.

Tm: Teju... Epdi ma iruka ( how are you dear)? Had your dinner?

Teju: Amma (maa), I am fine. Look here, she is Sreetu. Ivanga veetla thaan thangitu irukan (ini ke ghar me rehti hun).

Tm waved at Sreetu, and Sreetu waved back.

Tm: Hi beta, kaisi hai?

Sreetu: I am fine aunty... You know Hindi?

Tm: Haan, mereko aur Isski papa ko Hindi achese aati hai sivaay iske alawa.

Sreetu: Oh... 😯 but kaise... Matlab kya aap Hindi pandit ho?

Tm: Nahi beta... Mei aur inke papa, shaadi ke baad kuch saal Mumbai me rehre the. Inke papa ko vahaan transfer hua tha. Isliye hume Hindi aata hai. Teju ki paida hone se pehle hum vaapas Chennai shift hogayethe. Isliye voh nahi jaanti hai.

Teju: Amma (maa), they both are Sreetu's parents.

Tm : Namaste 🙏, meri bachi ki khayal rakhne keliye bohot bohot shukriya.

Kd : Namaste. Arrey, Teju bhi humari hi beti hai. Kuch hi dino mein humse bohot connect ho gayi hai. Bohot pyaari bachi hai.

Km : Haan. Bohot achi ladki hai. Aap usko leke fikar mat karo. Hum uski khyaal rakhenge.

Tm : Bohot dhanyavaad. Aap dono se baat karke, mujhe uski chinta kam hui hai.

Teju : Ok maa, no senti. Now I'll show your favorite actor.

Tm : Ennoda ( mera) fav actor ? 😕🤨

Teju turned the screen towards Karan and Omi.

Teju : Surprise 🤩.Amma ( maa), look at your fav actor, Karan Kundrra is here. I am staying in his house 

Tm is shocked..

Tm : Teju, is he the same Karan jo 'Kitni Mohabbat Hai' mein act kiya tha?

Teju blinked her eyes and assured her.

Tm : Oh my god... Ennala nambave mudiyala (mujhe vishwas nahi ho raha hai). Hello Karan beta, I love your serial very much. I am your fan. I used to watch your serial, but when Teju's father's health started worsening, I reduced watching everything.

Karan : Hello aunty. Thank you so much for loving me 😍. Uncle thik ho jayenge, hum sab hai aaplog ke saath. Unko kuch nahi hoga.

Teju : Maa, he is Omi Bhaiyaa. I find a brotherly feeling from him. 🥺

Omi gets emotional. 🥺

Tm : Hello beta..

Omi : Hi aunty, aap Teja ko leke fikar mat karo. Uski bhai hai uske saath.

Tm : Thik hai beta. Aap sabse baat karke acha laga mujhe.

Teju : Maa, you know with whom I'm going to act?

Tm : who?

Teju : My co-star is your fav actor only. Karan is my co-actor. 😊

Tm : Really? 😲😄 I am so happy. Now, I won't feel tensed about you. 

Teju : Maa, where is Appa ( papa)  ?

Tm : He has chemotherapy tomorrow. So he slept early.

Teju's face turned pale. This was noticed by Karan and Kd.

Teju :Ok Amma (maa), you take care of yourself and also papa. I'll call you tomorrow. Good night 😘. 

Tm : Bye Teju. Bye, everyone.

Teju ended her call.

Sreetu : Teju, aunty is so sweet.

Km : Haan, voh toh hai

Kd : Teju, tune bataya nahi ki tumhara costar Sunny hai.

Teju : Voh, I forgot to tell.

Km : Shukar hai Sunny tera costar ban gaya. Varna, we can't trust any other person.

Sreetu : Teju, from when your actual shooting starts?

Teju :From tomorrow! 

Karan : Koi mujhse bhi pucho 🙁.

Kd : Nautanki...chal bata, Kya hua tha aaj?

Karan : Vahi hua jo humesha hota hai.

Sreetu : Vahi hua jo humesha hota hai...😒

Karan : Tejasswi ne sab kuch boldiya toh mei kya hi bolun 😏

Km :Ok ok... Ladna shuru mat karo. Go, freshen up, and come for dinner.

Kd : Aur haan Sunny, tu abse Teju ko saath mein leke ja shooting pe.

Omi : Papa, usme ek problem hai 😶

Kd : Kya?

Omi : Papa, paps log honge, so phir se articles aana shuru ho jayega... So! 😕

Teju : Uncle, I'll go with Ajmal bhai.. No problem 😃

Kd : Ok..

They all went to their rooms. After dinner, Karan stood on the balcony, thinking about Teju's stand for him.

Sreetu comes and taps his brother.

Sreetu : Kya hua bhai... Aaj aap bohot sad lag rahe ho?

Karan : Kuch nahi Seenu, bas mood kharab hai 😶.

Sreetu :Vahi toh puch rahi hun. Kyun mood kharab hai? 

Karan told her what happened on the set.

Karan : Seenu, maine kya galati ki hai? Pyaar karna galat hai? I loved her truly, but she cheated on me. Maine khud dekha, voh kisi aur ladke ke saath 😖... Par voh mujhe accuse kar rahi hai... Sab mujhe misunderstand kar rahe hain... Kya main bura insaan hoon? 🥺

Sreetu : Bhai... Aap overthink kar rahe ho... Teju ne itni achhe se aapki stand li hai. Ab aap aisa soch ke uski stand ko meaningless kar rahe hain... Please zyada socho mat... Aap bohot achhe insaan ho, achhe bhai, achhe son, achhe friend ho... Ab jao aur so jao. Kal shooting hai na.

Sreetu hugged Karan and went inside. Teju heard everything and came, standing beside him.

She cleared her throat to get Karan's attention.

Karan looked at her..

Teju : So, you heard everything?

Karan : What? 😧

Teju : My conversation with Rahul!!

Karan nodded

Teju : You are overthinking even after hearing that?

Karan stayed silent. Teju sat on the floor, hugging her knees.

Teju : Come.. Sit

Karan sat beside her.

Teju : Karan, I am telling you the same thing I said to Rahul. I just know you for the past 4 days. This time span is enough to understand a person's character. You are a nice guy. You love your family very much. Your family too loves you. You have Omi Bhaiyaa as your strength. You have your fans who love you truly. They are the important ones for you

In these 4 days, I didn't feel uncomfortable even for a single second. You and your family made me comfortable and accepted me as one of your family members. It's a big thing. And I don't believe in these articles. You go and google my name; even you'll find articles about me also. That is their work. Unko sirf paisa chahiye. They'll never care about the facts or emotions of an actor or actress. Unka bas chale toh they will also publish fake articles regarding a person's death. This is the reality of the media. Ye sab padhne wale ko aisa hi lagta hai ki that actor/actress is wrong. Don't take these things seriously. Bolne wale log bolte rahenge. We have to move on.

Karan looked into her eyes and felt the genuineness..

Teju : What do you feel about your decision?

Karan : Which decision?

Teju : Breaking up with your ex! Is it right according to you?

Karan : I needed that.. She cheated on me. After knowing that, I can't stay in a relationship with her.

Teju : So you don't regret  that ! Right?

Karan : Yes..

Teju : Then, don't overthink. You are true to yourself. And if you don't regret your decision, then don't give a damn about anyone's saying.

Karan : But it hurts, Teju 😭💔. It hurts every minute. Koi na koi mujhe judge karte rehte hain.

Teju hugged Karan tightly. Karan snuggled more onto Teju's neck. He cried silently 😢.

Teju rubbed his back and calmed him. After some time, Karan broke the hug.

Teju : Karan... Who are those people? They are not your family. Did your parents, friends, or fans misjudge you or believe her? No, right? They are with you only. Voh log important hain, not these people. Your fans are defending you on social media. They believe in you. Joh log tujhe misunderstand kar rahe hain, they just want some news to gossip; when they'll get another news, they will forget this. You didn't do anything bad to regret, right? So chill. Let the dogs bark.

Karan calmed down now.. He felt fresh and positive..

Karan : Thank you for defending me 🙂

Teju : I think you don't need anyone to defend you.. You are strong enough to defend yourself.. Never ever get into overthinking zone.

Karan : Thanks..

Teju : Vaise, Tu aise muh banake mat betho.. I don't like bandhar..

Karan said ok without realising it.

Karan : Kya? Tu muje bandhar bol rahi ho 😠

Teju : yes, Korangu ( bandhar) , 😛

They remained silent there...they both were gazing at the moon 🌙 ..

Karan : Tu bata, why were you sad?

Teju : When?

Karan : Jab tumare papa ki baat hui thi. you were sad.. Isliye puch ra hun.

Teju : Voh.. I usually go with dad for chemotherapy treatment.. It's very difficult for every cancer patient.. Jab bhi appointment aati hai, me Appa ke saath har vakth rehti thi..now, I am here.. I feel bad.

Karan : Hmm .. Don't worry, uncle will be fine 😊aunty hai na vahan..

Teju : hmm...

They sat silently... After 10 mins, they said good night  and went to sleep😴😴

***************************************

Next day,

Teju and Karan went to shooting... They did their entry scenes and  a few shots with other actors..

Director : Teju, get ready for the next shot .

Teju : Sir, script?

Director : Main vanity mein bhejta hoon

Teju said okay and she entered her vanity.. It was lunch time. Teju was very hungry, so she ordered some food.

Then she heard a knock sound.

Teju : Come in

Someone entered her vanity

***************************************

Who could be that person?

Teju advised Karan!!

What will happen next?
