Chapter - 43 Arjun & Tia
Amidst my exams, this chapter bloomed.
My Alia baby turned 24 !
#Sidlia going more strong and so do we : #11k love ke liye dhanyawaad :)
............................................
The top floor deck of Shorewood Cineplex shone bright. The grand flex of the movie's poster rested idly at the welcoming door. Guests were rushing up quick cause they knew that if its a Dharma screening, they better be on time.
No matter how high a dharma glamour quotient be, their sense of order and discipline would never decline. Something inherited so rightly by Karan from his legendary dad Yash Johar saheb.
Dressed in their fine outfits for the night ahead, they cascaded towards the preview room. Dharma AD's and few directors were chit-chatting at the farthest corner, outside the theatre. They were clearly excited for their friend Shakun's movie.
Awaiting for their boss to arrive, they stood for a while. As expected, the King of dharma family came in his usual black tuxedo-pants-sneaker attire. His smile would brighten more on his movie previews for obvious reasons.
He approached his team with a killing smirk. " How are you boys ? Is the room packed ? Whom are we waiting for ?" something would have been wrong if he hadn't asked this. The boy gang glanced each other nervously. Sensing their anxiety, karan asked again "who is late today ?!"
Now that person is going to be chopped!
"Good eveninggg !" a shrieking voice startled their position.
Their was something called 'basic ethics' which they were used to.
They turned around in amusement to be more amused. Their stood panting in front of them, three species, who looked like coming straight out of an adventure film. Their darling girl, flagship bearer of dharma had wished them rather too unruly while panting for breath.
[Alia's POV]
Running up the stairs with these two monkeys behind me had been fun but it was of no help in making us reach on time. My exaggerated wish added to our trouble. I just wanted to cover up my timing.
"Wow! Evening to you too, alia. I'm so pleased to see you people up so early. How did this magic happen ?" Main culprits aka we, stood in a rather cute embarrassed posture. Each rehearsing up different unique ways in head to pacify our director/friend.
"Karan, our being late was too natural yaar. We got struck in traffic"
Oh damn! Me and Sid gave the most possible deadliest glare to our 'kind' co-star. Trust me, being struck in traffic that too in Mumbai is the most lamest excuse ever produced. So we mumbaikars are done with it. "Uh, karan waise bhi its not that late. We still have 15 minutes for the movie to roll. Now can we all proceed ?"
As usual Sid being the most charming would get away with things!
Giving him the most courteous smile we proceeded towards the hall. Lights were still on.
Before getting with the movie ride would love to give a small flashback of what happened before we hit the spot.
FLASHBACK
Three of us , myself, siddy and fawad were stuffed in one single car and were heading towards the multiplex. My mind was calm and fresh like never before. Usually movie releases brings with them a huge lot of anxiety package I couldn't bare. But today felt different.
Maybe my team made me confident. Or yet, someone who now had a total creative control over my mind. Well I wouldn't tell him this to feed his feeble manly ego ;)
"Turn it right, dada" I instructed our driver. Boys gave me a weird look as our destiny was up left.
"What are you planning up in that beautiful head, miss ?" fawad asked with a smirk. It was too easy to guess his smirk underneath the typical black fawad glares! I faced sid but he made an unreadable face. "She isn't kid. Don't worry we won't kidnap a crap like you!" Okay, that sounded little rude.
"Cool bhai. I'm just chulling with your bride" that made my head swap so hard.
"You don't want me to try calling sadaf, right ?" that was the only option which could shut him up.
Now I heard my baby chuckle so hard.
"You both try the same trick. Don't worry, my lips are sealed tonight" he looked honest. I made the car stop near a narrow street which catered exclusive chaat's of various kinds, other street foods and my favourite ice cream vendor shop!
"Get out lazy bums" I ordered as they eyed the street suspiciously. Pulling the hesitant fellows up towards the chaat store, I ordered almost everything to taste. The hygiene maniac fawad hesitated first but then enjoyed with us over piping hot chaat's and lame jokes. Even before sid could finish his bhalla papdi, I dragged him to the ice cream shop. We had the most amazing scoop of delicacy. It tasted so good and its melt still lingered on my taste buds.
As lame an possible, this was the reason we came late and got away from karan's scold. As always I tried to take back seat. Getting onto the last row of seat line I got amused with our partners.
All of them with a knowing look were seated across the entire line leaving three consecutive seats in the near middle for us. That sweet gesture made us smile.
I sat next to Rannu without much consideration as it can prove fatal. Even before fawad could think to sit next to me, sid hurriedly took his seat beside me. Fawad dejectedly sat to his left.
Their history seem to be interesting now.
The lights turned off and the hall got even more darker. Faint whispers subdued. The projector lighted up the screen ahead. The credits started rolling up. I leaned back more comfortably to enjoy the labour of our love and hardwork.
The colourful font of "Kapoor And Sons" displayed up with its breezy instrumental. Whistles arose at our names being shown. The movie started with a great uproar. Everyone seemed to enjoy the stuff.
It would be right to say that I loved the final product.
"I hope they hadn't edited that scene" Sid whispered closer to me. I was thankful to God for our seating positions as we sat at the extreme back and there was no one behind us to oggle at him kissing my hair!
I had a rough idea of what he was referring to, still I asked him out of my vague wit "which scene baby ?" He lifted his head to look at me more intently. I was juggling between keeping pace with the movie and looking at him.
"Where you and me stood under the rain shower, in front of your home. And we...."
I knew it. His teasing smirk had always irked me before but now it pleased me to an unknown measure.
"I'm rooting for both the possibilities" I smiled. "Why so?" He acted innocent.
"You forgot the fact that how explosive kind of friends do we possess ?" He laughed a bit. And I smiled more. "Shh.. focus on the movie lovebirds!" that was pari throwing daggers at us.
She looked offensive. Well she is born confusing. I gave a sad smile to sid and he mimed that she is cracked!
Lol
We turned our attention back to the screen. My entry was going to come. It showed me facing my friends in my ancestral house for the party but my back faced the screen. Boy gang didn't had much to do other than whistling and screaming. Sidharth clapped more.
Then came the part were I barge inside the washroom. And I spot Arjun, oops sid there. Sid introducing himself as Arjun Kapoor gets everyone's attention.
"How did it felt to play reel life Arjun ?" asked fubu with much glee. It got us looks from the entire gang. "It felt different, weird. The first time I despised playing a character " they shared a brief look and we laughed to ourself.
"How could you sit on closet like that ?" asked Rannu opening his mouth for the night.
"Just like you do it every day!" replied Bunny courteously.
Poor baby, he looked cute.
"Abey, with clothes he meant"corrected Ayu. "Toh tu bina kapdo ke try karta hai ?" asked VD.
Darn! We girls found it too entertaining.
"Could you stop talking ?" glared Abhi at us from his front seat. Seeing Mr. Silencer on board, we obliged like babies.
The madness continued and the club scene with Rahul came. On screen we were having dinner while discussing our dance moves and a possible dare. Off screen me and my boy were dugging at popcorn and coke. After that hilarious stunt Tia pulled on the baldy uncle, picture shifted to her home.
"Kishore..." Tia screamed to get her servant to fix the damned electricity fuse.
"Jaa shraddha, she is calling you!"
Oh teri! I bet adi choked on his popcorn and shredz was knocked out. We laughed out our heart.
"Keep your mouth shut, fatty! That's a good old shitty pet name my devil brother gave" spitted shraddha. "But it suits you so well. Look, they have even got you the job you deserve, servant" joked Pari.
"I'll see you all later" spoke an angry flushed shredz at us as our juniors heard bits of this embarrassing conversation. Turning our attention back at the screen, it was our turn to get shocked.
Whistles got a notch higher as I accidentally kissed Rahul, although it was not technically shown. "I swear you guys beat deepu and me in this business" cheered rannu so loudly that the entire arena heard him and laughed violently. I got little flushed out but quickly composed myself.
"I hope we can expect more pappies from your movie, shakun ?" asked adi. "Wait and watch buddy" You should have seen mine and siddy's face.
"So this was the professionalism that day you spoke ?" asked a pissed off sid. Angry boys are the worse kind. "This can't be categorised under smooching, man! Its a director magic. Now smile romeo."
He pathetically tried to, but failed.
Interval time made us exchange pleasantries with the entire guest list. Visibly everybody liked whatever they saw till now. Praises were flowing from each corner. More snacks were stuffed up inside tummies. Time flew quite quickly and even before we realized, we adjusted our bums back at our seat.
Movie went with the flow. We laughed, cried, got shocked, cheered and danced with the characters. It looked too real for a film.
Dadu's birthday party came with loud cheer. By now the entire complex was bowled over by this man! Especially the "I-papad and maa ke saath setting" scenes. Arjun stood handling some floating colorful balloons while Rahul was busy catering to last minute details.
Then came the entry of Miss Tia besotting both men alike!
"Tum jaante ho ?"
"Tum dono ek doosre ko kaise jaante ho ?" was the tagline. I surely enjoyed the banter.
[Sid's POV]
That how-do-you-both-know-each-other thing got everyone hooked to the screen.
They were rooting for a love triangle, but poor them!
Meanwhile I had to glare at Fawad who was seated beside me and was nudging me to look at him. "What ?!" I was pissed off. He scooted dangerously close to me and spoke " It coincides with the way I came to know about the real truth" that was true though. "Thank you for letting know."
This man will piss me to death.
More complex layers were revealed along with much more drama. More stories were unfolded and I got to know the hardest reality of my life, I mean Arjun's life
1) Tia kissed his brother Rahul out of everyone. It hurted by the way in both ways.
2) His own mother handed down his ambitious novel's draft to Rahul!
Rude much.
But the most amazing revelation was on its way.
And when it came, it shook everyone so hard. Fawad playing gay was the highlight of the movie. Nothing sort of bad, but it was shocking of him to agree for this. Sure it was not something we should be ashamed off but male actors shy away mostly from such roles. Girls were among the prominent category of people being shell shocked and boys looked at fawad with pride.
"The only person benefited of Rahul being gay was Sid" joked VD quite loud for everyone to cheer.
Waise, in a way it was true.
The story moved on with its twists and turns and the shocking death of my onscreen dad. My mom was already wiping her tears with piles of tissue. The story then took a 4 month leap as all of us part ways. But dadu's wish of capturing all of us in a family photograph remains ignited.
That brought us back home and to the climax or say ending of the movie. I resolve my issues with the entire family after taking advice from Tia! So when I went to meet her, two things happened.
One, me being emotional on seeing her after long.
Two, we being intimate!
I dearly hoped that the last rain scene was still not edited out.
As we swayed on the swing in the backyard of her ancestral home, we shared our fears and thoughts. Thought of ways to regain family love. Alia being herself, was complete natural in portraying emotions with finesse. I did a decent job too. We shared a brief eye lock after what seemed like years. To my surprise no one dared to transfix their gaze anywhere else other than the project screen.
At last it happened, not the one I wished to see but the other one. But it was still okay. We kissed and howling started. I swear my ear drums got fired.
"No one beats them!!" shouted shredz with happiness. I looked at alia to see her shining just like me.
"Best kiss of the century!" tagged Rannu which got the entire row wolfing and us blushing dark.
With that, the movie got end on a beautiful family photograph taken with the addition of my love, tia. Off course like others I wished that Rajat sir's character hadn't died to make the family look complete. But all's well that end's well.
With a thunderous response of clapping, the curtains went down.
The film was all about loving and giving time to your family with its own bit of tadka and fun. It was so stark from the usual glamorous dharma movie you see. We all took back dadu's nautanki, tia's craziness, woobly's beauty, rahul's smartness and arjun's passion with us. This film will surely stay in the hearts of millions for a long long time.
Before leaving the complex we didn't forgot to thank each one of our guests for taking out time. This time our friends were more decent and acted smart enough to keep their mouths shut for even an hour.
Fist bumping our team, we made our way back to home after an endearing day.
NOTE : #Kapoor&Sons completed 1 year and so did me and wattpad I guess!
I published this book around that time.
Sidlia going more strong and were recently spotted at so many places especially at #HtStyleAwards 2017, were their hand-in-hand departure was the highlight.
Overacting people piss me off. Off lately pari does that too much!
No offense, but she has been away from limelight for a while and now when she is active like a bee, its getting on my nerve. Its like she is trying to fit in every picture. Have to photobomb all actors, have to show extra love to her contemporaries and shit! IDK its none of my concern, just to let you know if you feel offended, please don't give a damn about my thoughts!
#PeacePrevail LOL
Lotsa love and do pray for my remaining exams and for my future ahead!
Jemi :)
