KARAN

"What a nuisance!" I said barking at her while leaving the classroom. She gave me a side eye while gritting her teeth and clenching both of her fists.

"Leave it, Karan, let's go home." One of my classmates said, drawing me aside from the door of the classroom while we were still going on glaring at each other.

Sitting on my motorbike, I still can't get her face out of my damn brain. Want to punch that face so badly, I wish it was a punching bag. I hated her and I still hate her. Anger radiates through my entire body and I take it all out on the accelerator of the bike, driving rough.

The classroom scene flashes in front of my eyes again and again while driving in the middle of the road; She marched towards me with heavy stomps and banged on the desk. I stood up daringly, reaching about one foot taller than her. She looked at me with her chin up and fierce eyes.

"Get the hell out of my seat." She widened her eyes.

"Anyone can sit anywhere, you are nobody to tell me what I should do," I say to her face, chuckling with a pinch of a smirk, and sit on her seat again.

She got aggravated by that and tried to slap me for the forty-fourth time, but in vain as I held her hand and flung her aside making her fall and stumble to the desk in the other row.

"What else can you do? Get a life, girl! I've seen that you only concentrate on me."

"How dare you push me?" She comes sprinting in my direction, but the other girls hold her. Her hair gets all messy and out of place. "I'll make sure to kill you one day, I promise."

I giggled hard and took out the chewing gum from my mouth and placed it on her seat," Good luck to you and your seat. Please enjoy sitting here."

I pass by her watching her struggle, trying to throw her hands at me as I sit at another place.

"Calm down, he is gone from your place, Krisha."

"What's the use now? He already ruined it with his nasty presence." She keeps on scowling at me as I look the other way.

"Let's sit somewhere else."

The director enters and we all have a good class with him straining not to focus on what happened earlier, but as soon as it gets over, she comes to my place, takes her rounder, and pokes the wooden desk, ruining it, making its splinters come out.

"What the hell!" I stood up a few seconds after I realized what happened.

"You deserve this, don't you?" She scowled at me and turned her face to walk away and sit in her new place.

I give a harsh break on my bike where the tires screech making my teeth feel weak. I sigh and let the thoughts go for the rest of my day.

THE NEXT DAY

"You tell me that I need to arrive at this, now?"

I was having my good sleep, avoiding the fact about what happened with Krisha yesterday. My mood and temper were high and I could have easily taken it out by breaking things here and there. But assessing the verity that occurs almost every day, I had let it go peacefully. Abruptly, out of nowhere, this call came and broke my composure.

"Of course, what else do you think?" The person on the other side of the call roared.

I run my fingers through my messy hair and shove the fluffy duvet aside, snarling.
I'm not being slothful in my job, I just don't want to see someone's face. How can my fans love my chemistry with her more? Even God doesn't want me to get rid of her, I think.

Getting ready is a burden today, even eating, but not until my mom smacks me on the head and makes me remember about breakfast.

"Eat well and don't fight!" she says.

"What do you mean don't fight?" I ask, displeasingly.

I see my father informing my mom with gestures to calm down. I tilt my head in disbelief and continue to get on my way, where I was supposed to.

KRISHA

It's so beautiful to be in the mountains after such a long time. I feel liberated and bold as the winds pass through me giving me consolation. I feel it, shutting down my eyes, while on his motorbike. Holding him instigates something irresistible inside my heart. It's inexplicable! The plain and flat road in the mountains feels never-ending along with him. He looks my way and whispers to my face about how much he loves me. I shyly look around, and when he turns his face to the front for driving, I blissfully sing in his ear that I want to spend my entire life with him. He repeats what I said, his words echoing to the skies above and I hold him tightly by his waist, resting my head on his broad back while he speeds up the bike.

Karan parks the bike in the woods and lifts me gently from the seat, upon which, within a fraction of a second I run into the forest, playfully. He comes back running and stops me at a tree's bark, gazing into my eyes passionately.

"I will love you dearly and hold you by my side till I die." He tells me.

I don't get a single doubt and hug him tightly again, resting my head in the nook of his neck.

Making sure nobody sees us, I kiss him gently on his cheeks. We hold hands and run to explore the woods together. In the afternoon, he takes me to the airport runway. He leans his head on my chest, while we still sit on his bike facing each other. I run my fingers through his hair and his breathing on my chest makes me intoxicated.

He says softly, "You are my light in the darkness," Upon which I giggle. He smells my hair and tells me, "I want to get lost in your hair forever." He pulls me closer and twirls me whilst sitting on the bike and brings me to his back, while he begins driving again.

"So where are we going to end our day?" I ask him, resting my chin on his shoulder.

"Home."

Reaching our small home, he plays guitar in front of me as we enjoy our time drinking coffee. It feels cozy with him. When I was admiring him, it started to rain heavily. The rooftop where we were now, was soaked entirely. He pulled me in the rain and we broke into a dance. I climbed up on his feet and we smiled endlessly.

"Your body is glittering in the rain." he hugs me from behind and whispers in my ear.

I face him saying, "Don't say that, my heart is already pounding. We might commit a crime tonight."

"Then leave yourself to me." He pulls me in and our breaths mingle.

"Ain't no one can separate us," I say.

The next day, we are going back, leaving our house in the woods. Again on his bike, again him and again I.

I made sure to hug him tight this time too. He halted the bike before we stepped into the city, got down, and snuggled for a while. He stared at me and showered me with gentle kisses all over my face.

I was feeling him and we were in a moment, until–

"And, CUT!" The director shouted. We pushed each other apart, so hard that we fell on our butts, two metres away from each other.

"Well done, guys! We have completed the music video." The director pats on our shoulders.

"Namrata, quickly tell me what my next schedule is," Karan called his assistant, which he always had while filming. He scowled at me and I did that back. I called my assistant too, "Please tell me that I don't have a schedule with him for at least a week. I need my serenity!"

The director seemed in a frenzy, "Okay, stop you two. Where are your work ethics?" He screamed.

"There is no work ethic when it comes to her, it's sheer pretentiousness and struggles only." Said Karan.

I stopped my stylist while she was adjusting my makeup to go give Karan a befitting reply, "Exactly, that's the reason you tried to replace me from the past two music videos, didn't you?"

"Oh, I wish I could have, but I didn't!"

"Lying again, it's your forte!"

"Shut up, Krisha, I'm not like you. You are worse. And whoever is trying to replace you, hats off to that person."

"Complimenting yourself for this cheap thing too?! Only you could do this!"

"I said what I said. If you think I did that, good for you."

"Where are you going, you need to clear this right now."

"Get off!" He said to my face, pushing my forehead with his two fingers.

I try to grab his hair immediately after his action, but–

"Guys, stop it!" Kritika intervenes.

Kritika looks so pretty all the time! My mind can't get enough of her good looks. I'm beautiful too, but I must say she is fine, has a towering height, and has stunning facial features. I have ethereal-looking features, and a finely shaped body too. After all, we all are multifaceted actors! Good to know she is here, hopefully, she can tame her bratty boyfriend like she frequently does.

"Karan, I took a little time away from you and here you are all fighting!" She says with folded hands.

"Thankfully you are here, I don't want to be with her anymore. Come here!" He drags her towards himself and they start to get lovey-dovey. I stand there, cringing at him, and Kritika notices I do that. She gives a light push on his chest and tells him to not do that, informing us we have an interview coming up.

"What, now!?" I ask her.

"Guys, for just this time of the day, please don't indulge in any more fights and concentrate on the interview. Please, for our institute? Will y'all?" She immediately joins hands in front of us and pleads," I got to know about it just now. Karan, your team told me while you were shooting the last scene of this video!"

"Then let's go! anytime with you babe." He took her hand in his and began walking.

"Arrgh! It's not for you and me. It's for both you and Krisha. What did I just say?" She thwarted.
