Our Way Back

7. Who is hiding what?

Vishal pleaded Rushi to give him back his phone but anyways he didn't care much he too joined Adnan in giggling. But he didn't understand Rushi's expressions.

"Dude what was Vishal seeing that you are turned into silent mode", teased Adnan.

Vishal now felt a little embarrassed so he asked Adnan to leave him and Rushi to give back his phone.

Rushi showed the phone screen to both of them which has Advika's Instagram account open and asked, "Vishal !? Who's this?!"

Adnan's expressions also turn into a little serious as he rechecked what he saw on the phone

"Ha done you saw na now give me back my phone", saying so he snatched it back from Rushi.

Adnan Rushi were staring at him with a questioning look. Vishal didn't quite understand what happened to them , "Guys its creepy, why are you staring at me like that?!", He said.

Adnan was about to say something but Rushi stopped him and asked Vishal instead about her.

Vishal then explained, "I told you'll about the new project right. It's a web series and we are working on it together. She has been starred against me. Sir said she came back from London, fir quite a few years she was there so I was just checking her profile as I had never heard of her"

Adnan Rushi looked at each other in a little shock, happiness and total confusion and still trying to process what Vishal had just said!

"But wasn't that clingy co-star of yours casted against you?", enquired Adnan.

"Who Sania??", Rushi asked.

"Yeah but Rohit and the casting team thought Advika would better fit the role and she would do it as she has quite a lot of experience"

"This is 100% true", said Adnan in a moment and regretted it in the next!

Rushi gave a sharp glare to Adnan!

Vishal was confused at Adnan's reply because he said it as if he knew her so Vishal let out his doubt and asked, "How do you know?"

Adnan replied to Vishal stammering, "Arey, I meant that any other actress would be better than Sania and if the director himself says someone would be better than it would be 100% true right! And anyways Sania's concentration is more on you than her work", Adnan purposely said the last line so that Vishal won't cling on to the previous topic and would take everything lightly.

"Ahh yes tell me about it, how can someone be so irritating man, I so wished she wouldn't be again with me! Infact today even Advika thought that we were dating, that much clingy she is", Vishal sighed.

Rushi asked Vishal cautiously, "Who is this Advika by the way? For so long you weren't attentive to us for her?!", and Rushi looked at Adnan with the same cautious look in his eyes.

"Rohit and Advika were together in London, they met there and Ayaan was in Mumbai for the past 3-4 years and for this project specially he called her back here.", Vishal told them whatever he knew.

"Oh so she knows you?", asked Adnan who wished the answer to be not what he thought.

Vishal said faking an attitude, "Huh! who doesn't know me"

Adnan Rushi laughed it off and still waited for his actual answer.

"Arey maybe she might be knowing me just you know through media, though she didn't tell me anything about it. I don't know I just found her a lityle wierd, she just zones out at some times and then becomes normal as if nothing happened."

Vishal stopped after saying this and looked at both of them and laughed.

"Guys whats wrong with you both why are you behaving weird now?", He said laughing at their faces.

Adnan replied to him shoving some random logic at him, "In so many years you haven't talked or observed any girl so much and today you were zoned out in your own though for so long so we just felt that a bit different, right Rushi?!"

Rushi just nodded in response.
Vishal said softly looking at his phone, "Even I felt something different"

Both of them gave Vishal a
questioning look.

When he didn't say anything
Rushi asked him, "Kyaaa? bolega bhi ab? (What is it will you tell atleast )", he said exxagerating a bit

"To be honest I don't know exactly it's just that she holds a different vibe man, even when I met her for the 1st time I didn't feel as if it was our first meet. It was a little scary too like how can i feel sudden comfort around some random stanger. She seems very friendly but how do did I know she is very friendly when I had not even talked to her that day. I talked to ger today for the 1st time but it was as if we are long lost bestfriends bickering"

"Oh so all of this is the reason why you were so deep lost into your phone?", Guessed Rushi.

"Yeah I thought of just checking through her Instagram, there might be some thing related to her which might maybe help me to form some link and find out about her", said Vishal thinking.

"Wh-what are you talking about? What link?", Asked Adnan stumbling upon his words.

"Just you know meeting her somewhere or knowing her I might recall", said Vishal hopefully

"But If she would have met you earlier she would have told you about it", explained Rushi.

"Yeah maybe , okay fine leave her topic tell me what were you talking about", Vishal asked.

"How long this shoot take of yours?", Asked Adnan.

"For a month mostly", he said looking at both of them.

Fine then we will plan something according to our schedules", Rushi said but excitement lacking his voice.

"Fine anyways you are doing timepaas let's meet in half an hour I'll be there at your place", Advika said more like ordered him.
