Shafeena's POV

I was unaware of time but all of a sudden my peaceful sleep felt interrupted. A chaotically silent night had spread its wings in the sky and the solemn moonlight tried its best to fight with the darkness. I straightened my arms and searched for a water bottle near my table.

There was none,which in fact meant that I had to drag my sleepy ass from the bed to the kitchen to fetch some water. Ugghhh!!

I pullover the quilt and start walking upto the kitchen. My head still wondering what on earth was he doing? Was he again staying at her place..ughhhh Shafeena.

"Someone looks hungry too"

A voice shocked from behind. Phew!It was only Yash. Was he really following me?

I faked a smile and turned back "Thirsty actually"

"Hmmm I see" He spoke stepping forward "You do not keep a water bottle by your side?"

He was beside me now " So you are hungry" I asked.

He nodded grabbing a chicken burger from the refrigerator. "It happens when you are awake"

"You were awake?" I asked as I checked my smartwatch that I keep by my side all the time.

"Things happen when your girlfriend is mad" He winked "God I am so fucking afraid of her"

I did not know if he was joking but I have never felt that a man could be even afraid of a woman. "Had a fight?call her" I said opening the lid of the bottle.

"Nothing new" he spoke taking a bite from a burger "And you?"

"Me?" I was quite startled by his question.

"Do you not shout at your husband?" he said smilingly which appeared to me as mock.

"Erm no" I replied closing the lid "We have good understanding". There was no point in conversing more I needed to head out before I spill something I am not supposed to.

"Good night Yash" I spoke in a mumble before leaving.

Yash's POV

Fuck fuck fuck! Why did I bring up such a sensitive issue to her. She looked visibly annoyed. This habit of talking gibberish is going to cost me a lot.

"Good night Shafeena" I spoke which was almost a murmur,obviously inaudible to her who had already left.

Anusha's POV

I woke up with a terrible headache even though all I wanted to do was go back to sleep I sat upright turned off my alarm and dragged myself out of bed. I walked outside my room and the first person I saw was Murat. 'Ugh! my day got ruined even before it started' I thought. Murat was making everyone rehearse the steps for today's shoot I must admit the choreography did look really great and I hate to admit it but Murat was right Mehak was an excelled dancer. Isha on the other hand just fell down, Murat rushed to pick her up.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Ya just...lost" she said.

"Guys take a break" Murat said. 

Why is he being so lovey-dovey towards her? I thought, Isha walked into the kitchen and Murat went to flirt with Mehak, I went into the kitchen.

"I kept having bad dreams couldn't sleep one bit last night" Isha told Shafeena who was already present in the kitchen.

"Even I couldn't sleep last night I think this house hate sleep"

"Oh bad dreams?" Shafeena asked.

"Bad sex actually" I said.

"Obviously it's you" Murat who just came there out of nowhere said.

"I was talking about you and the stupid noises you kept on making that kept me awake all night, why is it so difficult for you to understand that there are people who are trying to sleep in the next room?" I asked.

"Hey I can't help it if I am too good in bed"

"Oh ya then why is it that the only reason I know that there was a girl in there because I saw her sneaking out in the middle of the night" 

"Well at least I got her inside my room unlike some people who ended up making out with random strangers near the ladies washroom behind a restaurant" 

Oh my god I can't believe he saw me with that guy. I heard Isha giggle a bit.

"Like you have been dating that girl from the travel agency for a month before you decided to sleep with her I bet you don't even remember her name" 

"You slept with the girl from the travel agency?" Karan who just came there asked.

"Ya" Murat said with a smirk.

"The cute one or the hot one?" Karan asked.

"The hot one"

"Score" Karan said grinning.

"She wasn't that good looking" Shafeena said.

"Thank you" I said.

"I don't even understand what you guys see in a women"  Isha said.

"What do you know, you think you are the most hottest girl ever" Karan said.

She just rolled her eyes at him. Wow that's a first usually she would have started shouting at him by now.

"What's going on here?" Abhi asked as he came inside.

"Murat slept with the girl from our travel agency" 

"What...Murat......"

"It's not against the rules" Murat said.

"I guess......whatever guys we have to start shooting in a while so I would appreciate it if you guys get ready soon" Abhi said and left followed by Karan.

"You guys want coffee?" Shafeena asked.

"Yes please" I said.

"That would be great" Isha said.

"What about you Murat?"

"No I don't drink coffee"

"Hey Murat so you are going to meet that girl from the travel agency again?" Isha asked.

"Nah she is not my type"

"Well I overheard Mehak breaking up with her boyfriend over the phone" Isha said.

"Thank you" Murat said hugging her.

"Hey we had a deal" I said.

"You said no fooling around while we are working but what we do after that time is none of your concern"

"Whatever, but if I caught you fooling around during work I will kick you out" 

"Whatever" He said and walked away.

Abhi's POV

I saw Murat talking to Mehak I decided to listen. 

"Actually I am free tonight you wanna come over?" Murat asked.

"What about Anusha?"

"What about her?" 

"You guys aren't together?" 

"WHAT!! Me and Anusha are you kidding me didn't you see us fighting all the time?" 

"Fighting in that adorably cute way you guys do?" 

Well at least I am not the only one who thinks that they can be together.

"Oh please there is nothing adorable or cute about the way we fight she irritates me to the core" Murat said.

"Okay.....I would love to come over then"

"Great see you tonight" Murat said and left.

Great now they are hooking up.

"Hey Abhi check this lyrics one last time I made some changes, I have to finish recording fast I have to call my girlfriend after that" Yash who just came there said.

This is turning into a disaster.

Karan's POV

Isha was awfully quiet today and looked tired like she hadn't slept for days. She was talking with Shafeena earlier and I could see she was on the verge of tears. Maybe my behavior did this. I should apologize.

I walked near her only to find her in a sitting position on the floor, resting her head between her feet. Was she doing Yoga?

'' Isha '' I called her. She didn't look up.

'' Isha '' I called her again a bit more loudly.

This time she re-positioned herself and stood up, grabbing a towel from the stool wiping herself.

Damn! That body...

'' Tell me Karan " she finally acknowledged me and she was sounding somehow like sweet?

'' I just wanted to say sorry '' I told her placing my hands on the pocket of my jeans.

'' For what? '' she chuckled.

'' For whatever I said yesterday '' I exclaimed.

She started laughing very loud tapping on her knees, laughing like a total maniac managing to make me angry yet again but her words shocked me.

'' It's not the first time I hear those words Karan. The words like bitch and witch are my daily nicknames. But no one knows this is my mask. A mask I'm trying very hard to keep for me to survive. So by calling me bitch, you only tell me I still have this mask on. So you're not supposed to say sorry. I'm supposed to say thank you. Thank you for telling me my mask still exists. '' she said and left the room with quick steps, leaving my mouth wide opened and my whole existence in a total shock. What did she mean?

Murat's POV

"Don't worry sigh the contracts by tomorrow and send me the copy we are doing this project" I said and cut the call.

"Mehak I think you should go back to your......." 

Great she was fast asleep and that too on my bed there is no way I am going to sleep besides her but I also don't wanna wake her up she must be really tired she was working all day.  I covered her with a blanket and quietly stepped out of the room. Only to see Anusha looking at the mirror kept in the hallway and fixing her clothes and hair, I laughed seeing the sight and she gave me a dirty look.

"What are you doing here I thought you were getting busy with that Mehak"

"I was she fell asleep"

"Obviously you are incredibly boring"

"Oh ya so your standing here fixing your hair while your date is waiting for you inside might be incredibly entertaining for him" 

She gave me a dirty look and walked back inside to her room. I went to the living room only to see Isha sitting there already she looked up from her phone when she saw me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her.

"I couldn't sleep I kept on having these weird dreams, what are you doing here?" 

"Mehak fell asleep so I just came outside, are you okay?" I asked as I sat besides her.

"I guess I mean this is so not like me, even the worst of my nightmares never kept me awake for this long"

"I have some horrible nightmares sometimes"

"You do"

"Ya about some stuff that happened in my childhood and stuff, I used to wake up in the middle of the night shocked and scared"

"Is that why you don't sleep besides anyone"

"Kind off plus I don't feel any connection with any women I have sex with it's crazy Mehak and I are good friends but even with her there is this gap"

She looked at me amused.

"You know what I just noticed, you are not rude anymore"

"That's because you try really hard not to piss me off"

"It's also because I know exactly how to impress a women" I said and winked at her and she started laughing suddenly she stopped as she saw Anusha standing next to us.

"Oh you guys carry on just imagine I am not here" She said sitting on a sofa besides us.

"Your date is over already?" I asked.

"Ya that dumb ass fell asleep"

I started laughing like crazy and she threw a pillow at me.
