Part 11 Personal Feel...

The unit guys started arranging for the next shot. Akanksha neatened herself when she saw Ratna coming with a hot box. She stood, smiling at Ratna.

"Namaste aunty..." she greeted Ratna.

Plastering a synthetic smile, Ratna crossed her, making Akansha's face shrunk. She couldn't understand why she is close to Khushi and why not with her. What does she see in Khushi that Ratna likes her very much?

Ratna directly went to Khushi and tapped her shoulder. Khushi turned around and found Ratna standing. Ratna shared a warm hug with Khushi.

"I thought you will come only on the lunchtime."

"I have already finished cooking. Just prepared ladies' finger fry and came."

"You can wait in the make-up room if you don't want to watch the shooting."

"No no... I'm going to watch your acting directly."

"You will get bored." Khushi chuckled.

"I think I won't," Ratna said hopefully.

"How is Papa?"

"He is always busy with his work."

"What work?"

"He is maintaining Chotte's all the other business."

"Other business? Really?"

"Yeah...acting is his passion but we can't predict the film industry. If he gives continuous flops then he will be thrown out, right?"

"Yes...but I never heard about his other business..."

"It's because Chotte never involves in that openly."

"But how the media people couldn't get it?"

"Chotte is very cautious about that. Last year he adopted five villages and provided all the needy facilities to the villages including school."

Khushi was amazed to hear that.

"Really...? Doesn't anyone know that?"

"NO...because he is not doing that for fame but satisfaction."

Khushi looked at Arnav who was playing Frisbee, using a pillow with NK and Akash in the set. She thought he is an irresponsible person who always spends time in joking, flirting, and mainly eating. She didn't expect that there could be an amazing hidden side of him. The respect for Arnav raised in Khushi's heart tenfold, instantly. It's very rare to think about helping to poor people and he is doing that without publicity. Is not it appreciable?

Aman came there and called Arnav. Throwing the pillow to Akash he came to them.

"Amma, excuse us..." Aman said.

"Do you want me to leave the place?"

"No no. you can be here... I'm taking these two with me."

"Carry on... I will be waiting."

"Thank you." Aman gestured Arnav and Khushi to follow him.

They sat facing the other two.

"Listen to me... you should understand the intensity of your characters. You both are madly in love with each other. Khushi wants to go from Arnav as she thinks he will be happy with his sister. But Arnav is not ready to let her go and decides to win her back because Arnav knew she loves him and sacrifices her love for his happiness. Got it?"

Arnav nodded yes looking at Khushi who is not looking at him.

"But now, I'm not going to shoot such an emotional scene but a romantic scene."

"Ohhh..." Arnav raised his eyebrows.

"Khushi is upset with Arnav. So, he tries to mend her up. As per NK's idea, he recreates the old memories to cheer Khushi up."

"Wow, what I'm going to do?" Arnav asked curiously.

"You are going to sit inside the cupboard... and going to throw coffee on her face..." Aman said seriously while looking at the script.

"Wait... you said you are going to shoot a romantic scene... where is romance in that...."

"Khushi is not going to react to your recreates and says she won't accept you as her husband."

"Ohh...."

"So, you are going to make her accept by kissing her."

"Ohh" he said excitedly and Khushi glared at him.

"But, you won't kiss her."

"But Why?" He asked shockingly.

"Hariprakash will come before you kiss her."

"Damn this HP..."

Aman chuckled at him.

"ASR, tell me one thing. You never preferred kissing scene in your pervious movies..."

"I didn't feel good about it before because all my previous heroines had done the scene with someone already."

"Ohhh...." Aman said looking at Khushi who was suffocating.

"But Khushi is as same as me... She is very special. Hai na Khushi?" he teased her.

"But you are not special to me. And I won't act in the kissing scene. got it?" she said without any expression.

"What if the scene needs it?"

"Even though the scene needs it I won't"

She left the place. Aman looked at him sighing.

"What have you done ASR...? I really am planning for a kissing scene. You ruined it by your blabber."

"I was just kidding her..." he searched for an excuse.

"Ok, hereafter, don't talk about the kissing scene in front of Khushi. I will make her accept it when her mood is good"

"I'm sorry. I put you in trouble."

"That's ok. I will manage it. Let's go for the take."

In the meanwhile

Akanksha came to Ratna and sat beside her.

"I heard you are the one who is providing food to Khushi every day?" she asked volunteering a smile.

"Gladly..." Ratna answered in one word and it was enough for Akanksha.

"You are so sweet. Khushi has no one for her. Rohit also broke their relationship...."

Ratna did cut her.

"It's Khushi who broke the relationship."

"Yes, you are right. Rohit is still in love with her. He meets her often."

Ratna looked at her like "Don't lie"

"Rohit is a good guy... he loves Khushi very much. But she roams behind someone."

Ratna shrank her face.

"Yes, aunty... she changes her boyfriend often. Don't you know that? She does that very cautiously without anyone's knowledge. The Filmy magazine had written about it in a gossip section." she said shamelessly.

"Ohh...I didn't read that news but I read you are roaming behind a director for cinema chance. Is that true?"

Akanksha got stuck. She is roaming behind many directors... about whom Ratna is asking?

"No, no aunty... I never begged anyone for the chance. I'm a self-estimated girl...."

Exactly at the same time, Aman came there.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"She said she never seeks chance from any director," Ratna said.

Aman chuckled.

"I heard Akanksha is a specialist in joking."

Hearing that, Akanksha's face drained. Ratna controlled her smile.

'I' leaving aunty..." she left the place hurriedly.

"Don't trust her words... she lies a lot."

"I know... she lied about Khushi's relationship with Rohit."

"How dare she?"

"I think she will create problems for Khushi."

"It happens, Amma...let does not think of it."

"Sir, shot ready" Ram called Aman.

Aman excused himself and went to the camera.

Arnav was sitting inside the cupboard and smiled at Khushi. - shot ok.

Arnav threw the coffee on Khushi's face. - shot ok.

Khushi threw the tea on Arnav's face. – shot ok.

I won't accept you as my husband. – shot ok.

"No problem I will make you accept me as your husband" saying he gets close to her, looking at her lips, smirking... the shot took seven TAKES but Arnav couldn't do the scene. He missed the flow continuously.

The unit guys became tensed about Aman's temper. He gets angry if the scenes don't come perfectly. But Aman looked cool which made everyone wonder.

"Take a break ASR... we will shoot the scene after the lunch break," Aman said.

Arnav nodded yes and sat on the chair. Aman came to him and tapped his shoulder.

"It's embarrassing to act in a kissing scene in front of my mother yaar," Arnav said looking down.

Aman smiled.

"It's just acting... yaar"

"But..."

At the same time, Ratna came there and hit his shoulder.

"What happened to you? Why did you take so much TAKES?"

Arnav was silent.

"He is embarrassed about your presence." Aman smiled.

Ratna dropped her jaw.

"Lair... in his last movie, he kissed Akanksha's cheek in front of me casually when I went to give his medicine. Don't trust him..."

"Really?" Aman asked teasingly.

"I'm going to Khushi's room to give her ladies finger fry." She left the place murmuring.

Aman looked at Arnav who was embarrassing. He doesn't know why he felt so personal when he acted in that scene. His mother is not wrong. He acted one or two times without hesitation, in front of Ratna, then why not with Khushi? Arnav looked at Khushi who is going to the make-up room to have lunch with Ratna.

Aman thought in his mind deeply. Why does ASR hesitate to act in front of his mother? What so big a deal? It's just acting. Is ASR feeling something beyond acting? Let's see, what he will do after Ratna ma leaves.

God or Aman

After lunch, Ratna took leave from Khushi. As usual, the unit was ready for the scene which was unfinished. Arnav and Khushi took their position, after spraying water on their face.

"ACTION" Aman said.

Arnav dragged Khushi close to him.

"I won't accept you as my husband," Khushi uttered the dialogue.

"ok...I will make you accept..."
