"to ye raha line tum dono ka, reharsal karlo. Hurry up." Raj Sir handled the script to both of them Neil and Pooja sitting next to eachother and Sir walked towards other cast to instruct them their part. ( So these are the lines for you two, do some reharsal, hurry up)

Neil and Pooja both discussed the scenes in a low voice for few minutes and then settled down in their respective seats, both perceived for reharsal.

(Priya;Pooja's reel name)
Priya-ye jo dil haina...ye jab tut jata hai...iski awaj nahi hoti...bas tut jata hai...iski awaz kisiko sunai nahi deta naahi kisiko dikhae deta hai...bas woh hi mehsus kar sakta hai jiske saath ye haadsa hua ho...ye tum nahi samjh paoge Arjun Singhania....
( This heart... when it breaks, it doesn't make sounds..it just breaks...no one can hear it's sounds nor can be seen...only that person could feel who has went through that pain inside...you would never understand it Arjun Singhania)

Arjun- Priya kar kya rahi ho... sambhalo apne aapko...sab dekh rehey hai....mujhey tumhein ghar le jane do..
(Priya what are you saying...hold up yourself... people are looking at us....let me drop you home)

Priya -dekhne do, mujhe fark nahi padhta...tum mujhe choddke jaa raheho ek stupid si mission k liye, main nahi...to tum mujhe abhi akela chodd do....
( let them see, I don't care...you are leaving me for some stupid silly mission, not me...so now you leave me alone)

Arjun- listen love mere taraf dekho...tumne bahut pi rakhi hai....tum kya boley jaa rahi ho tumhe kuch idea nahi hai... sachmein...
(Listen love look at me....see you are drunk...you don't even know what are you blabbering, you have no idea, you aren't realising..trust me)

Priya- tumne mera dil tod diya....tumhara aur mera aaj se break up...leave me alone Mr.Arjun....
( You broke my heart...we are separated now on...)

Arjun- main tumhein kaise samjhau....mere life ka hamesha se ek hi mission tha, k mere Dad k mautka badla lena hai mujhey...sabko marna hoga...
(How could I make you understand... there's always been a mission in my life since I had lost my Dad I would not let them live in peace the people behind his death...I'll take revenge for my Dad's murder... those traitors have to die..)

Priya- woh sab mujhse milne se pehle tha...ab main hu tumhare life mein.....agar ye badla letey waqt tumhein kuch hogaya to mera kya hoga...kabhi socha hai tumne...
( Those were all before you met me....now I'm in your life...if you get injured being involved in such act, have you ever cared how will I survive without you...have you ever thought of it...)

Arjun-tum idhar ao mere paas... mujhey kuch nahi hoga...trust me main tumhare paas wapas aney wala hu...at any cost we will be together...I promise jaan.
(Come to me, closer... nothing will happen to me...trust me I'll come back to you, doesn't matter how hard it would be...I'll come back to you....I promise Jaan)

"Aisa lagrah hai jaise ki tuney likhi hai script...nai!!?" DD blabbered standing beside Avni who was busy scrutinizing the missing stuffs if any, asked by director Sir to give a final look over the set design for the scene next. Avni paused, her gaze slowly tore off the spot moved to DD. His forehead creased dubious.
( It seems like you have written the script... don't you?)

"I mean woh dil wala part...lines you know...jaise sachmein teri dilki batein horahi hai..." DD eloquently reasoned out along with a nervous grin when he saw her face hardened. His ludicrous talks caused Avni glowered at him but inside her heart frenzied.
(I mean, especially that heart part....as if depicting your words, talking about your heart)

"Waise tumlogo ka sachmein break up hua hai kya??" DD continued, his gaze oscillated tentatively at his friend but he remained perpetual.
( Well, you people have got really seperated?)

"Nahi.." keep staring at DD for some seconds Avni tenaciously replied, got back to her task with a harsh sigh, kept her face impassive. ( Nope)

"Nahi!!!" DD insisted with a withering tone. His gape gauged her facade if there any hint of emotion.

"Nahi..." Avni continued with her mono syllabic reply. Inside she is hacking off over lying the only genuine friend she has here is DD.

"Currently we are in bad terms... it's nothing close to break up..." Her voice grope speaking however she acted occupied.

"Hummm...I can see it..." DD sneered, shook his head letting out a sigh, made Avni snapped her eyes at him.

I mean "nothing close to break up you have told just now. Didn't you?" DD instigated, adroitly stated. Avni faltered took a covertly glance over Neil afar. Her heart lunged by his words but she remained unfazed.

"You have to hold her like this okay...." Raj Sir directed the angle Neil would be towards camera and also how would he hold Pooja in his embrace.

"No no Pooja will move this way and then you will hold her face.... okay..."

"Cut cut cut.
What the hell is going on guys.... This is the last kiss you both are sharing...it's a good bye kiss... feel the pain...this will be your last meeting....you have to pour all your heart, emotions in touching him, embracing Arjun..." Raj upbraided.Director Sir's irritation was at its peak. Neil and Pooja had several takes for that single scene. God knows what prompting Neil so distracted and Pooja is not getting into the depth of situation.

"Avni you need to show her..." Raj Sir said, declared actually in his bossy tone.

"Okay..."
"What?? me!" First she agreed being engrossed but her eyes broadened her head darted at Raj. She swallowed in consternation. Her gaze back and forth twice between Neil and Raj Sir. Both their sheer focus an her at the very moment. There was an inkling flash of beam in Neil's eyes appeared then disappeared instantly she noticed. For some nano seconds her eyes knitted at Neil momentarily but next moment Avni looked away.

"Yes you...you are assisting me right" she flinched by Raj Sir's words.

"Yes sir" her voice toppled replying his boss. She tried to be placid, unperturbed under her eerie breath.

"Then go. Stop wasting my time" Raj Sir commanded and Avni flinched for the second time quite frequent in a single day.

An hour ago.

"Can't you see she is in pain!" Raj Sir said, his voice strenuous in malevolence.

"Nope sir. I can't see. only you can" Neil's waltzing reply was letting out a irksome scoff. Tearing his gaze away his ph screen, landed on Raj Sir. He was asked to see Raj Sir in his office as soon as he reached the set.

"Neil I don't want to know whose fault or who is innocent here. Just Don't hurt her" Speaking Raj leaned to his swirled chair, it's slightly slanted due to his weight. His squinted gaze keenly studing Neil leaning against a small table behind him.

"Stop being her father all the time. I love her and I know what to do with her to make her happy and calm" Neil blurted out in a irked tone, he sniffed his annoyance diverting his gaze.

"Good to know that you know" Raj said in a deep sigh, his eyes still narrowed at Neil. Their gape met.

"She also know it, apart from that part she behave overly obstinate sometimes" Neil proclaimed bitterly.

"Make sure you don't take much time"

"Sometimes for a good change, suggest the same to your champ as well" Neil retaliated back in a suggestive mocking tone as if he is stating some awareness to a Man he is concerned about.

There contradictory conversation didn't last much longer. Soon they got dismissed.

"I need to receive this call..." His ph buzzed, stating Neil strode out of the spot. Raj Sir slouched forward in his seat, kept his arms over the table surface, heaved a sigh frowning in cognition.

"Neil what the fuss with you now! I thought you a nice guy and you had to do this!" Diya's castigating tone barked in Neil's ear through the speaker of his ph. He rolled his eyes and his facade changed into a worn out repellent. Since morning he is going through such concern which is increasing his temper something into worst.

"Listen Diya..." He tried to redeemed but been paused.

"Do you know how much pain Avni is in!!" Diya shoot another agonizing comment caused Neil clenched his jaws.

"Jisey dekho She is in pain...and I'm partying here. Do I??" Now He let out all his exasperation in a single breath and Diya startled on the other side by his yell in her ear through the device speaker but next moment abruptly her face formed a scowl.

"Neil. You kissed a girl not her" Diya seethed, grew superfluous argumentative. And his heart surged in rage.

"Yes that's the big fuss." Neil chuckled bitterly before he sustained. "When a guy kiss a girl if she doesn't like it she is allowed to slap him. But not a guy. What if a girl kiss a guy forcefully?? My only fault was I couldn't slap my ex" he berated, his intonation rose saying those last word through his clenching teeth. His voice resentful, stifling his wrathful out burst at her partial words over her bestie without atleast trying to figure out the actual scene.

"What do you mean? And wait. A girl can't manhandled a guy. A guy can" Diya sounded combative and Neil harshly changed the device from his one ear to another. He took umbrage at her remark.

"Ooh wooooaaaw Diya... How ostensible. Sometimes scenario differently happens, not the same everytime...by the way what's the point chatting on a topic, when you know it will go no where!"

"Whatever it is, talk to her Neil please" Diya's voice evidently softened in a solicitous, requesting tone.

"Without knowing the entire scene you just can't suggest someone what to do and what not...now please hang up...." Without leaving Diya any chance to proceed further with her biased comments Neil cut the call, shoved his ph harshly in his pocket and walked away the spot. When he reached back his work location looking at his face anyone could say he just had some belligerent, confrontational words of exchange with someone.

"Hello! Hello! What! he cut the call!
Bloody insolent jerk. I can't believe him" Diya snarled looking at her ph in disbelief. She let out an indignant groan throwing it on the couch severely.

Present

"I need to talk to you Raj Sir..." Avni hardened her face mustering up the courage she needs to deny Raj Sir, her voice gruff in annoyance.

"It's not the time to talk Avni....we are already a day late...." Raj gaped at her. His facade said she has no other option than act according to her boss command. Yes they are a day late to reach the end of Arjun before Neil would complete shooting his final part in the show.

"Please Sir. It's urgent...." She swallowed hard her voice pleading made Raj halt with his task. Including Neil, everyone's curious gaze at Avni and Raj.

"Okay fine...I can't understand what makes you choose these hectic hours to talk all secrets...and it's with me..." though reluctant, Raj sir acceded to her plead. He got off his seat speaking sarcastically in a succinct manner.

******

"I can't do it..." These was her words as soon as she walked inside the office before Raj.

"Do what???" Raj Sir crossed his arms over his chest, his demeanor slightly askew studying her.

"Be closer to him..." She tried to evade but failed. Her voice shook noticably enuntiating the word closer.

"Him who..." Raj's eyes askance growing unsure.

"Neil...Neil Khanna...you don't know what he has done to me..." Avni burst out with a tone berating. Whereas in response Raj's gaze flickered,orbs stumbled slightly.

"I can't forgive him until unless I do exact, the same with him" conniption was evident in her voice. She fisted her knuckles in her palm. Avni knows what hogwash , out of mind kind of thing she is muttering, still she has no control over her cantankerous state.

"Avni consider it as professional people doth perform.." Raj uses these kind of old English words when he advised someone something very important to boost up that person. He crooked his neck stared at Avni waiting for her to be obedient getting out of her defiant state and give it a thought in a professional angle.

"I can't. I can't...I just can't let everything move on until I kiss a guy in front of him and then I would see what he has to say...." Her voice morose, her chest up and down fretting in brooding over that night she saw their lips dipped into eachother. She closed her eyes hard then reopened immediately, her eyes burnt trying hard that day to slip out of her head and she failed as invariable as since it happened, it's haunting her every time it get her unoccupied.

And at that very moment something made both of them snapped their heads at the same direction when a loud harsh sound of some glass like object plummeted down leaving a hefty noise, left them startled with shock first then terror when they noticed the appalling sight in front of them... Neil is bleeding; his hand is bleeding, there are several broken pieces of glass stuck over his skin, over his knuckle, palm few are around fingers. He hit his hand hard on a glass door. That's the Raj Sir's cabin door.

Avni shut her mouth with both her palms a loud gasp of cry blew out of her mouth, her horrid eyes on his bloody hand, tears travelled down her cheeks in pain like it's not Neil it was her hand has got cut and all bloody. Next moment she gravitated, bolted towards injured Neil followed by Raj behind her.

When she reached Neil people has already huddled around them...they heard the loud sound of breaking something...

Neil pulled off his hand at the first attempt from her tight gasp but couldn't stick to his stubbornness seeing at her shambolic state distinctly apparent all over her facade...her face is all red in those compulsive emotions_love, concern, worry, trepidation ; her eyes filled with tears...

There is nothing to deny he felt happy, contentment inside seeing her in tears for him...only for him...his pain gone for some adequate minutes being lost, staring at her frantic state....she is in pain too...he gave up struggling, Neil poised down as if he is in some spell...in conjuration of Avni Mehta.

His all focus over her. Neil bit his lips trying hard not to but couldn't withstand_ his cheeks blushing pinkish red.

He is oddly in a quietude.

Khabar tainu koi na
Khabar tainu koi na....
Saade dil da tu nasha hai
Harr dafa hai
Cause baby I've in fallin for you...

Soon people rushed in panic here and there, commotion around to get the first aid kit for Neil...but his eyes only at a particular person...his hands slowly moved upward next moment Avni is pressed to his heart his chest...she didn't realise...no one as well. Because everyone was busy getting his skin out of those glass pieces...

He is in love all over again...his heart erratic, it's jumping in some staccato rhythm, rambunctious like any speed over railway track. His chest held bountiful felicity, gaze grew enamor staring at Avni.
His tender arms tightened around her shoulder...he has totally forgotten what caused him to do such stunt, why his mood got bellicose, belligerent that he couldn't resist his anger to burst out his chest and he slammed his hand on that glass door and gotten himself bleed. The only thing he was relishing at that moment was he is holding his love and she is sobbing because he is in pain. Her Neil is in terrible state.

Pain...yes he is in acute pain in his wound...his face crinkled coming back to in real world out of his daze. Neil let out a excruciating gasp,winched. his eyes moved to his wound when someone rubbed some anticeptic over his skin. That's Avni... holding a huge cotton chunk she is keenly examining his hand moving it very tenderly, causiously to have a good look if there any small pieces of glass still left stuck in his skin...there is some glint of smile flashing in his eyes staring at Avni so tensed, while there is not a little glimpse of grin around his lips, it's as unfazed as ice.

"Even though it can be very, very painful at times... you don't choose who you fall in love with....
And that's the truth of it"
