Congo my queen Alia on winning the coveted FILMFARE BEST ACTRESS 

#Deserving 

#BiggestDream

...........................................

[Sid's POV]

It took me one hell of an hour to keep that guy's mouth up closed.

 Uff! 

Fawad became so erotically excited at the new found revelation that he wanted to announce it to the whole set. I had to pursue him not to disclose the secret and respect our privacy until we decide its time. 

Soon enough, he was called by AD Suresh to give in his shot with Alia. 

Got Saved

The set looked even more beautiful. The house rented to be shown as Alia's place, stood magnificently tall and proud. Its greenery around could make one go crazy. Crew men ran to and fro making sure things were at place. It was a weekend, naturally earning us some descent amount of audience too. In a blink of an eye time, all the commotion died away as Shakun took hold of his microphone. All eyes were on the captain of our ship! 

He looked like Popeye though.

"Silence people. Breathe in" That sounded like a 'great' command.

"Breathe out kaun karein ?" asked a random crew guy waiting for others to laugh at his comment. 

"Should he do that for you too ? Or lets make it like this. You don't attend your toilet meeting today, shakun will manage, haina dost?" 

Gross!  

Only Chintu saheb could come up with that and still nailed it like this.

As expected, the set laughed in sync at the most raunchiest comeback and the other guy smiled lame. 

"OK, so now everyone knows what to do, right ? Get back at positions. 

Camera ready ?" 

"Ready, sir!"

"Alia, a bit in the centre. Since we are going with our instinct and not according to what the storyline says, therefore be yourself you both. Don't hesitate to go with our gut instinct. Listen to your heart and think what would you do when finally you both meet in for the house deal, face-to-face." 

Trust me, waiting for your shot to arrive had never felt this pricking. I somehow understood the knowing glances fawad, casted my way. This guy is going to be murdered today!

Basically now they both had to imagine situations and act 

"LIGHTS"

"CAMERA" and.....

"ACTION" !!

With it, it was time to get in action. Fawad slowly progressed towards Alia in painful never reaching steps. 

Why can't he walk quick and end the drama ?  

They both smiled as he neared. I could see her cute dimples flashing at him.

At him!

And when everybody thought they will formal greet, he went in for an intense hug! 

Like what ? 

Leave her, dammit! You'll choke her. 

I looked at my surrounding with unsatisfied look to see other's reaction. But they smiled like fools at the so- called enchanted conversation both had. 

Ughh...

"How are you darling ? Finally we got to meet" He asked. 

I'm not glad, well who cares.

"I'm awesome Rahul. Pleasure meeting you!" 

Kuch bhi.

"Gotta say the owner looks absolutely stunning, more than her property!" I could see him inching more close. 

Make distance dumbo! 

She gave him one of her charming killer smiles and with a surprise he kneeled a bit and took her hand in his while kissing her knuckles! 

My foot! This is too much. How the hell is he supposed to kiss the owner's hand in their first meet itself ? This is not west for god's sake! 

I couldn't take it anymore, hence advanced near Shakun to stop this drama once and for all.

"Isn't it too much for a simple scene ?" I had to act normal even though I felt like thousand bricks hitting my face. 

Shakun gave me a long stare, more than needed. He grinned and replied "That's his charms, siddy! Aren't they adorable ? I'm sure the audience will love Rahul-Tia to end up!" 

Oh really ?! I bet they'll forgot the moment they get to know of his sexuality. 

"But he's gay in the flick" I sounded rude but I couldn't help. "Toh that's a secret till the half journey! Till then they will rock" 

And I will probably scorch the screen with woobly! 

I felt like shouting this at him but nevertheless decided the other way

"Okay, guys! That was a bit cheesy fawad. Well, we might do this scene according to the script later, since its lunch break now." Shakun screamed through micro. 

Finally!

"That took long!" I huffed like a pompous baby irritated to get what he needs while complaining to Alia after the scene. We were taking a walk back to our caravans. "But the shot took barely 5 minutes to wrap up." She said with confused eyes and I found it cute! 

Like always, its your hobby malhotra! My inner voice teased me. 

When she found me not responding and keeping my head straight ahead, avoiding her; she decided to nudge. 

"Ohooo! Your Jealous!" Her eyes twinkled at the newfound conclusion. 

"Nah! me, never!" Trying to act confident when your bae is actually right about your situation, is the worst kind of feeling.

"Okay, I believe you." Woah, never in a century she let a moment of tease pass away with such ease. While continuing to walk, she took out her phone from wallet and spoke "Grisha, get that kiss scene out there done by tomorrow morning. We need to make it look authentical." 

Kiss, who ?

"Kiss ? kisko ?!" I stopped in my track and she did too since I was facing her with bewilderment. "Fawad ko! We had that scene, right ? It needs to look real, so that the audience don't get the trick" She spoke without a flinch. 

"What's the big deal to keep it real ? Obviously it was a mistake even in the film script, then why are you hell bent to make it look REAL ?" She didn't answered but kept looking at me with an expressionless face. 

Slowly I could see a tinge of lip curving from side and soon it was replaced by a huge eruption of laughter echoing the surrounding.

"FOOLED !! Look at your face, baby. Aww, you thought I was being professional ?" 

Tears formed around her eyelashes while she laughed hard. I stood there with the most embarrassed face even seen on face of earth.

That was a joke! 

"You killed me just now. You don't know how my heart clenched at the thought" I surprised her by hugging her right there, under the mahogany tree, close to my heart. I could squeeze her tiny form with my masculine frame and I so wanted to punish her for scaring me. Leaning more into the crook of her neck and inhaling in her lavender scent, made me feel home. Always.

"You remember the jaccky chan episode ?" 

Huh ? Oh shit! How could I forget that one ? 

"Seriously, now who was jealous ?" I broke the hug while not leaving her arms. 

"Yeah, she was way too clingy. And don't forget that I saved you from her devil hands" She winked at me while I chuckled at the memory. 

A rather interesting flashback.

FLASHBACK 

[Alia's POV]

"Yeah, oh ya man" These girls and me were always on fire. Like every other time, we managed to coin our thoughts similarly and that made our bond, special at so many levels. 

We are at Manish Malhotra's 100th successful fashion ramp 'after party', at a suburban lavish hotel in Santa Cruz. I am having a gala time here, mingling with my friends but Shredzy and Pari totally made my day. Secret bitching was our game and we nailed it how. Next to our group was Sonam with her pals, probably doing the same stuff like us but in a more sophisticated classy way. We couldn't help but bring on our girly desi avatars at party.

"Where are boys ?" 

Yup 

"Million dollar question, Pari. Where would they be ? Having Rannu around wouldn't let them be conservative about their socializing skills! He might be dragging them to each group."

"Absolutely, Shredz." We giggled at our own ideologies. 

"Cheersssss !

Okay, I sense 'BOYS'! 

"That's them. Let's go" I told the girls and we kept our wine glasses back at the table and went ahead looking for the source of their noise. After crossing like 15 grand discussion tables, we reached a spacious room with no furniture but dim lights. As we neared, their screams got loud. Our entry and their laughter exploded together.

"Broda, you gotta do this" Rannu was definitely in his full energy. Rest of the men stood in a semi circle, their backs facing us. From their height difference I could judge who was who and where was Sid standing. 

But a certain person caught our full fledged attention. 

"Jaqueline ?" said Pari which echoed in the room and the other specimens got aware of our presence. They turned their attention, facing towards us. Now all of them stared at us with amusing grins but a specific someone held my attention more than needed.

Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez (RIP) clinged way more than needed towards my boy! 

How dare she ! 

Seeing us she smiled more which looked like a victory smirk. She held onto his hands and opened her rubbish mouth to speak.

"Hello ladies. How are you all ? Come, join us. Me and my boys were having lots of fun." 

"Her boys ?" Shredzy whispered to me and Pari while inching more close. 

The boys gave a weird look at the 'my-boys' statement! 

Clearly, we all never gelled well with anyone other than ourselves, let alone that bitch!

"How sweet jakky! I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves with OUR BOYS !, haina girls ?" Pari spoke in an exaggerated sweet monotone, double quoting the word 'OUR BOYS' 

The room got into splits and the boys tried to hide their laughter by pretending to cough harder as poor girl felt uneasy at the remark. "Oh then, why don't we some fun ?" She menacingly smiled and came towards us for a handshake. We three glanced at each other and with an extra large smile adorning our face, hugged the life out of her.

Poor girl she choked on whatever saliva she had, the boys had to refrain us from killing her. 

Let the game begin..

When she excused herself outside, we were ready with our set of question. Boys made themselves busy with their nonchalant talks to be saved from our wrath but we needed our answers. Adjusting our throats got their attention.

"What was that ?" Pari went first. She resembled my Maths teacher. 

"We were cracking some lame jokes. I'm sure you won't get them but Aloo & Shredzy might get them." Ayu spoke with a huge smile. Before she could retaliate and fight I got to the main point. 

"We discussed this earlier too. Its only the 10 of us in this group and we need not have another one! Why was she showing extra affection towards you all as if you were her diaper friends ?!"

Curiosity kills the rat! 

"Arre baba, we didn't invited her. She invited herself into this restroom and was mingling in with us" fubu answered. 

"I see she was mingling way too much" I eyed Sidharth. If looks could kill the cheesiest possible way, he would have been deep under the ground, burned to ash! His expressions looked guilty and as expected, he stared the ground.

"My boys ,my foot! Who the fuck is she to claim our friends ?" Shredzy got into her aisha character. Adi stared in awe while me and Pari mentally cheered her up. "That was too much, I agree!" commented Bunny after a prolong silence. 

"Thank god. Atleast the star boy gets it." I deep sighed. 

"Can we leave and congratulate manish ? After that, we will head back." Sid spoke finally. 

"Oh, he could speak!" joked VD while I patted his back for saying something 'normal' since a decade. 

"Let's leaveeee" with this we were pushed out of the hall by our mentos champion. By the time we reached the main hall, guests were enjoying their dinner and DJ played various numbers next to a dance floor which was attacked by familiar faces. 

'BeatPeBooty' blasted at its audible best and all asses swayed accordingly.

"I like that one!" commented Bunny pointing at a certain shimmery dress waali's ass. He had to scream cause the music was loud. I could feel my heart thumping loud. 

"Nice choice bro!" I bet if it was Sid, I could rip off his eyes. 

"Look there! Jakky chan!" screamed Pari all of a sudden. 

"What ?" we couldn't believe that Manish afforded such a huge artist at his party. 

"But that's Jacqueline I see" complained Adi. 

"Its her new pet name, liked it ?" 

"Bingo girl! I loved it!" with that we girls hugged each other in glee.

"Yahan kyun khade ? Go and sway away!" It had to be Sushant. He along with some others, managed to push us towards the colorful dance floor. Our protests went in vain. 

"Forget the bitch and let's partayyy" the order came from Fubu and we happily agreed. We made a descent circle and did all kinds of craziest moves possible and soon people started noticing our frolic. 

As we danced along the tune of 'Disco Deewane', I felt someone pushing past me and Sid so as to enter the circle. Disturbed by it, we turned to find drama queen trying to fit in! 

Urgh!

God did loved us more and regretted his decision of creating her  at that very moment. The second she somewhat adjusted in the circle and posed to the iconic step, the music got over!

Lord, what a relief. 

The temporary lapse got fixed and the music system blasted again. Bartenders were serving various beverages. We girls excused herself to get ourselves fresh air to breathe.

"Bhaiyya! Here, please" we took our favorite drinks.

 "Can't we spike her drink ?" Asked a voice. We shared a scared look and found the person to be Fubu. 

Lord! 

"Wish we could" shredzy agreed. 

"But still, she is our colleague. We can't think this low even as a joke" I reminded and in return they mock saluted me. We laughed at ourselves.

"Can we join in the army ?" 

"Sona ?" We couldn't believe our luck. Since our gang debuted almost in an year's time, our batch mingled with all but at the same time we didn't made much stronger friendship outside our group. Therefore Sonakshi talking to us felt different.

"What did she do to you ?" curious to know her story. 

"Don't ask! Irritating others is her hobby but today it went worse. Other than bothering me, she spilled drink on my dress and went ahead by bitching on my health to a random model!" We sympathized with her. 

Party music changed into melody and before I could join Sid for a couple dance, somebody else was already doing the deed! 

Wah ji wah !

"Drop the idea of being a goddess and get your boy back". 

This was it. 

"Give me that damned drink" sona passed me a glass full of red wine. Without turning back, head held high, I made my way towards the floor, pushing past the crowd.

Reaching near the floor, I gave a long stern look to a pathetic faced Sidharth. He motioned me to help him as that girl was pouncing on my guy. She was dangerously close to him. I closed my eyes and with a determined look marched towards them.

Her back was facing me and she was hovering over Sid. 

That was enough! I saw red and I wanted revenge. 

Without a second thought, I splashed the content in the glass on the lower back of her gown. She screamed at the sudden coldness and turned to face me.

Every single soul stared at the scene unfolding. \

Before she could utter rubbish, I spoke "You deserved it well. Next time try not to irritate people much and to steal somebody's guy is the biggest offense! Never bother our group, never!" 

I didn't cared the amusing grins coming my way. With a final look at her I grabbed Sid's elbow and dragged both of us from the venue and in the background I could hear my gang whistling for us and offcourse Rannu shouting 

'Zor se bolo Jai mata di !

That incident stands so raw in their mind that even today they laugh so hard at the mere mention of the scene. Off course the once -bitch got the signals and she somewhat acts like a  descent colleague who knows her place.

They soon returned back to their respective vans with a smile adorning and lighting their face.

Note : Bad days are here. Exams toh waise bhi but the shitty #Varia days are back!

How much I dread that virus dumbo! Plus my anger skyrocketed when the real life bitch JakkyChan (I call her) tried to openly flirt with my boy.

I was so out to kill her...trust me I may dare this stunt. So it was my way of taking revenge, how was it ? Sorry if their are any fans 'by default' 😂

I've published another #Sidlia book under Short Story !! It will have a maximum of 10 chapters. I drafted it while I was foreign to writing skills, so you gotta bare!

Show some love!

Lotsa love,

Jemi 💞
