The early morning sun passed through the curtains, giving a golden glow over the room.. Teju's suitcases were lined up neatly on the door, reminding her departure for Bulgaria.. Karan moved around the room, double checking every item to ensure nothing was forgotten.. Teju sat on the edge of the bed.. Her heart was heavy with sadness and longing as she watched Karan..  Her eyes followed his every movement, feeling a pang with each step he took..

Teju : Mere jaane ki itni taiyaari kyun karrahe ho?.. Are you happy to get rid of me?

Karan paused, his hands frozen on the zipper of a bag.. He turned slowly to face Teju, his eyes reflecting a deep well of emotions..

Karan : Getting rid of you? kya bolrahi hai? Don't make fun of my emotions, Teju..

Teju's eyes widen hearing "Teju" from him.. She stood up, her heart aching with the sudden guilt of her outburst.. She walked over to Karan and wrapped her arms around him from behind, resting her cheek against his back..

Teju : Sorry Sunny.. Frustation main boldiya.. I'm really sorry.. I know tum kitna apne aapko hold karraha hai.. I'm not making fun of your emotions.. bass aise hi boldiya.. 

Karan closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.. He slowly turned around in her embrace, placing his hands gently on her shoulders.. He looked into her eyes..

Karan : Main bol nahi raha hun iska matlab ye nahi ki main tere jaane se khush hun.. I can't express my feelings like you Laddoo.. It's hard for me than you.. Every little thing I'm doing.. it's my way of trying to hold on, even though I know I have to let you go..

Teju's eyes well up with tears, and she nodded understanding him.. She leaned in resting her forehead against his..

Teju : I'll miss you so much, Sunny.. Agar muje tere support ke zarurat hui toh?

Karan : Tu bass apne aakhein close karke muje bula, main aajaunga..

Karan wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly as if to imprint the memory of this moment.. He kissed her forehead softly.. 

Teju : main apne aapko bolunga toh tuje kaise sunega?

Karan : If I feel you need me immediately, then I'll be there for you.. 

Teju : Sach mein?

Karan : I promise Laddoo.. I'll come at the right time..

She hugged him tightly and took a deep breath, smelling his cologne.. 

Karan : Why do you keep smelling me?

Teju : Your sweat filled smell calms my nerves.. 

Karan : Yuck.. very cheesy..

Teju : Anything for you baby..

Karan chuckled and spanked her butt lightly, pushing her gently towards her wardrobe..

Karan : abh jaaa.. jaldi ready hoja.. I don't want you to miss your flight..

Teju smiled through her tears and turned to get ready..

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

Teju, Karan and Sreetu bid bye to their families and got inside Teju's car to move towards airport.. Karan accompanied them till the parking area, knowing that the paps were waiting eagerly, ready to capture some pictures of Teju.. As they reached the car, Karan turned to Teju..

Karan : okay laddoo, apna dyaan rakhna.. Har ek stunt mein apne jee jaan lagana.. Aur jeetke aana.. Appa, Amma sabko main dyaan rakhunga.. We'll video call daily.. Okay bacha?..

Teju gave a fake smile, trying to mask her anxiety and hugged him tightly..

Teju : Sunny.. Take care of yourself too.. Time mile toh milne aaja.. With your support, main iss show pe participate karahi hun..  I'll give my best and try to win this show... only for you..

Sreetu, sitting nearby with her arms crossed, faked a cough to gain their attention..

Sreetu : phir main?... Main toh paagal hun na, apni boyfriend, maa, papa, amma, appa, bhaiyon, sabko chod ke tere liye Bulgaria aarahi hun.. Sirf tere liye.. Par tum saare promises bhai ko de rahi hai?.. That's what they say, nallathuku kaalam ilai (There's no place for goodness)

Teju laughed, a genuine one this time, shaking her head at Sreetu's dramatics..

Teju : Okay okay.. Naatak band kar meri naa.. Tumare liye bhi hai.. Sabkeliye, main ye show jeet ke aane ki try karungi.. Abh chal.. Boarding pass lena hai.. Time hogaya..

Karan pulled Teju to him and kissed her lips, roughly, biting her lower lip.. She slapped his chest for biting him but responded equally, their kiss turned hot and intense, filled with love and passion.. Sreetu got down from the car. Seeing her getting down, paps surronded her.. Since the windows of the car were black tinted, TejRan's moment couldn't be spotted.. 

Sreetu gave few poses and talked with media, keeping them distracted.. Meanwhile, inside the car, Karan broke the kiss and placed a tender kiss on Teju's forehead...

Karan : Meri jaan hai tu.. Sambhalke haan...

Teju smiled and kept hugging him... After a few minutes, there was a slight knock on the car window.. Teju pulled away and looked towards the window.. It was Sreetu, signaling that it was time to go.. Teju took a deep breath and looked back at Karan, her eyes glistening with unshed tears..

Karan : I think time hogaya.. Chalo..

Teju : Tum nahi aaraha hai?

Karan : I can't let your image spoil at this big time.. Show jeet ke aa.. Puri duniya ko bataunga ki main tera hun..

Teju : okay my little.. Bye..

Karan didn't like seeing her go.. But since he himself choose this project for her, he controlled himself.. He smiled back, masking his emotions.. Teja got down from the car and took her bags from Ajmal, who had placed them in a trolley.. As soon as she stepped out, she was greeted by flurry of camera flashes.. She gave some poses and then went inside the airport with Sreetu..

Teju remained quite after getting their boarding passes.. They joined the other contestants in the waiting area.. Arjun and his brother-in-law Nishank joined them..

Arjun : Sreetu, ye hai Nishank, Neha ka bhai hai..

Sreetu shook hands with Nishank.. Nishank then turned his attention to Teju..

Nishank : Teja, How are you?

Teju : I'm fine, Nishank.. How's your shows going?

Nishank : Haan.. Acha jara hai.. Abhi ek show katam hua.. Kuch din keliye shaanti chahiye thi.. Isliye Bhai ke saath aaraha hun..

Arjun : Seedha bol, Chetna se thoda break chahiye..

Nishank : aisa kuch nahi.. Voh toh muje jaane hi nahi derahi thi.. Main aapke liye aaya tha..

Teju smiled at their banter but her eyes remained distant, lost in thoughts of Karan..

Teju : Why are you teasing him, Arju?

Arjun : just for fun, sweetheart.. Acha teri face kyun dull hai?

Sreetu : Arjun, iska toh bhai ko chod ke aane ka mann nahi hai.. Dono subah se sad feel karrein hai..

Arjun, seeing the sadness in Teju's eyes, side-hugged her warmly..

Arjun : Chill babe.. Kuch nahi hoga.. Aise har vakth tum dono saath me hi nahi reh sakte hain na.. Tumara bhi apna career hai, uska bhi hai.. Aur tum dono aise pass me rahoge toh tum dono ke relationship mein agar kuch kami hai toh voh kaise aapko dikhega?.. Agar tum dono voh kami ko understand karoge toh uss cheez ko fill karke aage badoge.. Aise har vakth apna relationship ko baandh ke nahi rakh sakte.. Let everything move freely..

Teju smiled back and nodded.. Just then,  Adaa arrived with her brother, joining Teju, Arjun, Sreetu and Nishank.. The group of six quickly fell into a lively conversation, their energy infectious.. They did some masti.. Teju began recording for her vlogs.. Seeing her recording, Adaa and Arjun also took out their mobiles, recording their moments together..

Teju: Guys, say hi to my vlog!

Everyone waved enthusiastically, adding to the fun. As the boarding announcement echoed through the terminal, they grabbed their belongings and made their way to the gate, still laughing and chatting.. Once on the flight, they continued to enjoy each other's company.. The excitement of the journey ahead mixed with the thrill of traveling together made the atmosphere light and joyful.. Teju looked around the cabin, scanning the faces to see if Rohit Shetty was on the flight.. Arjun noticed her searching for someone and tapped her shoulder..

Arjun : Who are you searching for?

Teju sat back and whispered to him..

Teju : I'm searching for Rohit Sir..

Arjun : Rohit sir ka seat pehle vale seat hai.. Idhar se nahi dikhega.. Tum kyun doond rahi ho?

Teju : bass aise hi..

The flight attendants began their safety demonstration, and soon the plane was taxiing down the runway.. As they took off, Teju looked out the window, her thoughts briefly drifting back to Karan.. Her mind striked something and she started watching the saved video of her and Karan's web series.. 

Arjun glanced over and noticed Teju watching the videos.. He leaned in, keeping his voice low so as not to disturb the sleeping Sreetu..

Arjun : Kitni baar dekhegi?

Teju : Humara series hai, kitni bhi baar dekhun, mann nahi barta hai.. Also, seeing this makes me feel closer to him..

As the flight progressed, Teju felt herself relaxing and enjoying the company of her friends.. After 15 hours travel, the captain announced their descent into Bulgaria.. Teju looked out the window again, seeing the beautiful landscape coming into view.. 

Teju muttered to herself : Bulgaria, here I come..

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

On the other side, Karan returned home after an empty day.. He missed hearing Teju's voice for 15 hours.. He went to the dining table and poured water for himself.. Drinking it, he sat on the couch, pulling out his phone.. He opened his and Teju's chat and scrolled through their messages, smiling at their flirty exchanges.. He opened the photo gallery and started looking at their pictures together.. Each photo was a memory, a moment frozen in time, filled with love and happiness.. He stopped at a picture from their last trip, both of them smiling brightly at the camera, arms wrapped around each other..

Karan : I already miss you, Laddoo..

He put his phone down and leaned back, closing his eyes.. The house was quiet, except for the soft sound of the refrigerator.. The silence made him feel Teju's absence even more acutely.. Just then, KM came out from her room and saw Karan sitting on the couch.. She noticed the tiredness on his face and the phone lying beside him, the screen still showing a picture of him and Teju.. She walked over and sat beside him, gently placing her hand on his head..

Feeling his mother's touch, Karan laid his head on her lap..

KM : mera bacha.. neend aaraha hai tere ko? Room pe jaake soja na bacha..

Karan shook his head and held her hand, bringing it to his face.. The warmth of her hand against his cheek brought a sense of calm over him..

KM : acha, are you missing Teju?

Karan : bohot..

KM's heart ached seeing her son like this.. She knew how much Teju meant to him and how hard it was for him to be apart from her..

KM : Pata hai, when you miss someone, it means you have someone special in your life.. Teju show jeetke aajayegi tere paas, and then you will have many more moments together..

Karan nodded, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill.. He closed his eyes, feeling his mother's gentle touch and love.. He sighed deeply, letting his mother's words wash over him.. He felt a little better, knowing that his mother understood his feelings.. He stayed there for a until he finally drifted off to sleep..

***************************************
Sreetu came to Teju's room to help her organise her belongings in the wardrobe..

Sreetu : Hum dono ko ek hi room de dete.. kyun do rooms voh bhi do floor mein diya hai? 

Teju glanced at Sreetu and shrugged with a smile..

Teju : Kyunki co contestants ke saath thoda funny moments shoot karenge yahaan.. isliye..

Sreetu : shooting spot mein kardete.. 

Teju : Off screen moments ko shoot karenge na voh log... 

Sreetu : I don't like it.. Main nahi karungi aise shows..

Teju : Don't say never, baby..

Sreetu paused while hanging a dress and turned to Teju.

Sreetu : Acha Teju.. Ek baat bata, flight me baar baar kisko doondh rahi thi?

Teju glanced up from her suitcase, a small smile playing on her lips..

Teju : Rohit sir ko?

Sreetu : you mean, Rohit Shetty ko?

Teju nodded, her smile growing fonder.. 

Teju : Haan.. Unse baat nahi huyi na.. isliye..

Sreetu : Don't get me wrong Teju, but tum itne attached kyun hai unse?

Teju smiled, unzipping her bag and starting to take out her packed dresses, placing them to the side..

Teju : you know? Main Rohit sir se vahi brotherly feeling mehsoos kar rahi hun joh main Omi bhaiya se feel kiya.. I felt his protectiveness and care towards me, joh Omi bhaiya and Arju mere liye karte aare hain..

Her voice softened and her eyes reflected the depth of her emotions..

Teju : Jab main confused thi, kisise baat nahi karti thi, tab main sirf Rohit sir se sabkuch share kiya.. I don't know about him, but mere liye Rohit sir ek wellwisher hai..

Sreetu placed the dress carefully in the wardrobe and then moved to sit beside Teju.. She took Teju's hand gently..

Sreetu : Listen Teju, I know tum jaldi attach hogayi hai unke saath.. But I feel tuje ek boundary rakhna hai unke saath.. For him, tu ek contestant hai.. Tu ek actress hai joh unke film me kaam karti hai.. He would meet thousands of persons like you.. Abh tere se voh achese baat karre hain.. Kya pata, film ka shoot katam hone ke baad Rohit sir tumse baat hi nahi ki toh.. Tu tab feel karegi.. So, don't expect anything extra from him.. Baad mein tu feel karegi.. Maine ye experience kiya hai, isliye bol rahi hun..

Teju : aisa feel karna galat hai kya?

Sreetu shook her head gently..

Sreetu : Galat nahi hai, Teju.. Hum jisse expect karte hein agar voh humare expectations poorti nahi karenge toh hum hurt honge.. Isliye bol rahi hun.. zyada expectations mat rakh..

Teju : Hmm..

Teju in her mind : Seenu, apne experience se bol rahi hai.. Par Rohit sir aisa nahi karenge.. Par agar unhone mujse baat nahi ki ya mujse rudely baat kiya toh?.. Hmm.. Seenu ki baat bhi sahi hai.. Expectations rakhungi toh phir baad mein hurt hojaungi.. Ek distance maintain karti hun..

The next morning, the production crew bustled around, setting up lights, adjusting cameras and ensuring everything was perfect for the contestants' photo and video sessions.. Teju was giving her solo photoshoots and promo shots.. After completing her individual shots, she need to give shot with other few contestants.. She hesitated first as she was not familiar with them.. But she pushed through and managed to complete the shots successfully..

During a break, Teju sat alone, observing others as they performed their shoots.. She spotted Rohit Shetty across the set, engaging in his promo shots with the usual charisma.. She smiled, appreciating his ease in front of the camera, but Sreetu's words echoed in her mind.. Despite her admiration, she kept her emotions in check, reminding herself to maintain a boundary..

By evening, Teju received a call from the crew, asking her to join a combined promo shot with Rohit Shetty and other contestants.. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and walked over to the set.. Rohit Shetty noticed her and gave a friendly nod, which she returned with a smile..

Adaa : Teja.. Come here..

Teju walked over, curious about what was happening.. Adaa turned to Rohit Shetty with a smile.. 

Adaa : Rohit sir, aapne sabka first impression bata diya.. Abh Teja ke bareme bataiye..

Rohit Shetty smiled warmly and looked at Teju.. She stood silently, her heart pounding as she awaited his response..

Rohit shetty : Tejasswi toh pura comic vibe hai..

Teju's eyes widened in surprise, and then a wide smile spread across her face.. She had been worried that he might say something critical, but hearing his lighthearted and positive comment filled her with relief and joy..

Arjun : haina sir?.. Voh aise hi hai..

Rohit shetty : You know her?

Arjun : Bohot ache se..

Adaa : Kaise Arjun?.. Haan yaad aya.. Tum dono ne ek video song kiya na..

Arjun : Haan.. Par maine isko Chennai mein dekha.. Aur hum vaise hi friends ban gaye the.. Bohot saal se pata hai..

Adaa : oh great.. Teja, tum kuch bolti kyun nahi..

Arjun laughed at Adaa's question..

Arjun : arey acha hai.. Abh bol nahi rahi hai.. Ye thoda alag type hai.. Kabhi kabhi syada bolti hai kabhi kabhi off ho jati hai..

Rohit shetty : Zyada pareshaan mat karo bachi ko..

Arjun shook his head with a smile..

Arjun : Ye bachi nahi hai sir..

Teju shot him a glare

Teju : Arju, muje tang mat kar.. Phir Neha ko batadungi..

Arjun's eyes widened.. 

Arjun : Ayoo.. Mat kar meri ma..

Teju : Phir bilkul chup..

Their exchange drew laughter from the group, creating a lighthearted atmosphere.. Soon, the crew called the other contestants for another shot, leaving Rohit Shetty and Teju alone on the set.. Rohit Shetty glanced at Teju and then gestured towards the path leading away from the set..

Rohit shetty : walk par chale?

Teju nodded, appreciating the chance to talk with him away from the cameras and crowd.. They started walking slowly, the cool evening air in Bulgaria adding a refreshing touch to their conversation..

Rohit Shetty : So.. Kaisa lagra hai Bulgaria?

Teju smiled, looking around at the scenic beauty surrounding them..

Teju : acha hai sir.. Bohot beautiful place hai..

Rohit Shetty : vaise ye show kyun choose kiya? Karan ko problem nahi hai?

Teju felt a nice from his question, sensing his protectiveness.. She appreciated how he genuinely cared about her well-being and decisions..

Teju : nahi sir.. In fact, usne hi ye show mere liye choose kiya..

Rohit Shetty : kyun? Is he still upset with you? Isliye thoda break lene keliye ye show?

Teju shook her head immediately..

Teju : no no sir.. Aisa kuch nhi.. Voh.. Mereko thoda insecurities hai joh miscarriage hone ke baad strong hone laga.. He sensed that.. We are already engaged.. Abh life mein aage badke ek family banane se phele ye saare fears and insecurities ko door karne keliye, iss show usne choose kiya tha.. He has that confidence in me that I'll break my walls of fears and emerge stronger..

Rohit shetty smiled and gently patted her head..

Rohit shetty : you are so lucky to have him.. Voh kitna achese socha hai tere baremein.. You know what, har couples ye galti karte hein.. Pehle fight karenge phir thode din baad thik hojayenge.. Voh log ye nahi sochte hain ki unlogonka fight ke reason kya hai?.. Ye nahi sochte hain ki uss reason ko solve kaise karein.. Ye nahi sochte hain ki uss break ke baad opposite person ke mind me kya kya soch paida hua hoga.. Usko kaise hatana hai.. Ye sab, kuch couples nahi dekhte hain.. Par Karan, bohot samajhdaar hai.. Usne tum dono ke beech joh breakup hua, uska reason ko understand kiya, solve kiya, aur uss incident ke vajase tumare upar joh asar pada hai, uss fear ko mitane keliye joh karna hai voh karraha hai.. Great man..

Her eyes glistened.. She blinked them away and looked up at Rohit Shetty with a soft smile..

Teju : yes sir.. Usne mere baare mein bohot socha hai.. Par mujhe pata hai, voh bhi same fears and insecurities ke saath guzar raha hai.. Issliye jab usne muje convince kiya ye show karne keliye, maine zyada nakre nahi kiye.. Kyunki usko bhi vahi time chahiye.. Usko bhi apne andar ka fears ko door karna chahiye..

Rohit Shetty nodded, his expression understanding..

Rohit Shetty : It's good that you both are supporting each other.. Relationships ka strength vahi hai, mutual understanding aur support.. Tume yeh show ke through bohot kuch seekhne ko milega, and I'm sure you'll come out stronger.. 

Teju : Thank you sir.. aapse ek baat puchun?

Rohit Shetty : pucho?

Teju hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath..

Teju : Show mein aap muje.. daatoge?

Rohit Shetty : zarur daatungi.. agar galti ki toh.. 

Teju : Bohot daatoge kya?

Rohit Shetty : Tu kya expect kar rahi hai?

Teju : hmm.. aapko kya sahi lagega, aap voh kijiye..

Rohit Shetty : huha.. Acha.. bas yaad rakho.. tumare liye ye sirf ek show nahi hai.. Ye tumare liye, ek journey hai, apne aap ko explore karne ki, apne fears se fight karne ki.. And with Karan's support, tum dono is journey mein aur bhi strong banoge.. yahaan tere liye joh help ki zarurat hai, main voh karunga..

Teju felt a warmth spread through her heart at his words.. Gathering her courage, she asked softly.. 

Teju : main aapko bhai bulaun kya?

He smiled warmly..

Rohit Shetty : zarur bula.. muje bhi ek behan chahiye..

Teju's face lit up with a beaming smile..

Teju : Thank you.. Bhai..

They continued their walk in comfortable silence, the bond between them growing stronger.. As they neared the set, the evening sun cast a golden hue over everything, adding to the warmth of the moment..
