Our Way Back

5. The lead is replaced

Advika and Vishal's conversation which was more of bickering was disturbed by Rohit and Sania who were talking about something which seemed more like a quarrel.

Rohit was telling Sania to try to understand and that if she couldn't change herself as per the need of the character, he didn't want her on the show!

Sania replied to him, "You are being harsh Rohit for no reason you can alter the character right, I mean why do you want the character just like that, anyways it is boring!"

Rohit now seemed totally irritated and anger was ozzing out from his words, " You are no one to decide that, please before I lose my temper leave and remember the character is not going to change even slightly for anyone so if you can do it then only come back or anyways we have plenty replacements for you!"

"I hope she doesn't come back atleast after these insults", Said Vishal to himself looking in Rohit and Sania's direction

"Look you are being unprofessional now but I can understand it's okay", Advika said, she too was looking in their direction.

"Did I say that out loud?", Vishal asked

"Yes, atleast for me to hear clearly" , she replied.

Vishal said to her, "Now you didn't need to poke your nose" and giggled looking in her way.

Advika let Vishal be and thought of talking to Rohit to calm him down but Vishal was already half way towards him so she sat back.
Whatever he told Rohit seemed to calm him down and he smiled slightly.

Vishal and Rohit turned towards Advika with a grin on their faces!
Advika saw that and wondered if it was some silly joke on her!

Vishal started walking back towards her his gaze fixed on her face! She felt a little awkward! She moved her eyes away from him onto the draft of the script on her hand, obviously she didn't have an idea what she was reading!

"You won't be able to concentrate my dear", Vishal said with the same grin on his face.

"What?!", Advika knew exactly what he was talking about but pretended to be innocent.

"With me staring at someone, they can't work properly, they are clearly distracted!", Vishal said proudly flashing his cutest smile at her.

(Look how cute his smile is)

"Oh please, how self obsessed are you", Advika replied lacking sassiness in her words cause she was clearly distracted with his gaze and now with this smile.

"This isn't self obsession babygirl it's called confidence", he replied looking directly into her eyes with which he knew she was clearly lying about not being distracted but he let her be with her opinion.

Advika quickly recovered from her distraction and said, "Your tactics won't work on me man! Girls like her (pointing at Sania) would be fluttering around you like butterflies but I am not one of them keep that in your mind", and the boldness and confidence was back in her voice!

"Is it so?", Vishal questioned her raising his one eyesbrow and closed his lips tight into a smile.

"It is so", Advika replied him giving him the same smile.

"Why? Are you committed already?", Vishal just asked out of curiosity.

Advika again found a chance to tease him and how could she leave it, "Seriously?! You could have asked this directly you know you didn't have to go all the way round so much!", she said controlling the smile creeping on her lips.

Vishal said confidently, "directly hi toh poocha abhi (I asked you directly only now)"

Advika didn't reply anything and just kept staring into nothingness. Vishal understood maybe it was something she wouldn't share with just anyone and anyways he had alrwady registered in his brain that she was wierd so he didn't mind this behaviour of hers.
Instead he said, "Come on get up, come with me"
Advika snapped out of her haze and asked him where were they going.

"Arey you come with me and you will know", he said.
Advika picked up her things and followed him.

While walking alongside Vishal, he asked Advika to tease her, "Okay let me throw a guess, is Rohit the lucky guy?"

Advika was surprised that he didn't let go the topic still, "hey no don't go wherever you want to", she took it lightly and laughed it off

"Even you got to the conclusion with me and Sania", this was his reply to which Advika quickly said laughing, "So what was this? Some revenge?!", Saying so she noticed they were entering the conference room so she asked him out of curiosity, " W-hat are we doing here? aren't we supposed to be leaving now?"
"Yes we should be but Ayaan and Sir wanted to talk to us", he replied gesturing he to take a seat.

While both of them got seated Rohit entered with a wide grin which indicated he was clearly very happy about something, he was followed by Malhotra Sir behind.
