It was still pretty early in the morning, Ahaan was driving towards his house, his mind clouded with many thoughts...

"Pata nahi Ishqi ko bhukhar hai yeh jaan ke main itna panic kyu kargaya?" 

Ahaan immediately got ready and went to their studio. Even while driving towards the studio his mind was filled with worries for Ishqi...

Thinking Ishqi must be asleep he didn't call her. As he parked his car and went inside the studio, to his surprise he saw Ishqi reading her script. At first he thought that he was hallucinating but as he approached her and held her arm he knew he was not hallucinating...

Ishqi- ohh hii avm...

Ahaan- Ishqi tum yaha kya kar rahi ho?

Ishqi- what do you mean kya kar rahi ho, mera bhi shoot hai.

Ahaan- Ishqi tumhari tabiyat thik nahi hai, you should be resting.

Ishqi- avm main thik hu, dekho...

Ishqi held his hand and made him touch her forehead which was heating a just 2 hours ago but was not fine...

Ahaan- Ishqi abhi bas bhukhar utra hai tum thik nahi hui, agar rest nahi li toh tabiyat aur kharab ho sakti hai.

Ishqi- bhukhar mujhe aaya tha na toh pata bhi mujhe hi hoga kr main thik hu yaa nahi. Anyway Babaji agar aapka pravachan khatam hogaya ho toh main script padhlu?

Ahaan rolled his eyes in disbelief and went knowing she won't be listening to him...

As the day progressed Ishqi's head started paining. She felt like someone was hammering in her head. She complain about it though hoping it could stop after sometime...

It was now afternoon, everyone were having their lunch at their specific spots...

Ahaan had ordered himself a burger with fries and as he received he noticed Ishqi was nowhere to be seen...

"Yeh ladki bhi na pata nahi kaha hai aur khana khaya bhi hai ya nahi, baadme dawai bhi leni hai usse..."

Ahaan went to her room and knocked. After not getting a reply from inside he immediately entered. He saw Ishqi sitting on her vantiy while she kept her head down. He advanced towards her and kept his hand on her head making her get up with a jerk...

Ahaan- Ishqi tum thik ho? Kya ho raha hai?

Ishqi- avm main thik hu aur tum kya mummy jaise peeche pad gaye ho.

Ahaan- Ishqi don't change the topic, sach sach batao kuch khaya tumne?

Ishqi- nahi bhook nahi hai.

Ahaan- Ishqi tumhe dawai leni hai aur uske pehele kuch khana hota hai, tum kya baccho jaisi harkate kar rahi ho aaj waise toh badi mature bani firti ho.

Ishqi- Mr. Avm, mana jab main bimar thi tab tumne mera khayal rakha par iska yeh matlab nahi hai ke tum tumhari dhouspatti mujhepe chalao, this Ishqi is still very Risky...

Ahaan said nothing just took her to his room. Ahaan then made her sit and started opening his order. Fortunately Ahaan ordered an extra burger today. Ahaan gave Ishqi a burger while took one for himself...

Ishqi- mujhe nahi chahiye avm maine kaha na mujhe bhook nahi lagi.

Ahaan- Ishqi main kuch nahi sununga.

Ahaan took the burger and as Ishqi opened her mouth to give a savage reply Ahaan made her eat it. Ishqi, unwillingly had a bite and made a face. Ahaan thought it was the most cutest face ever. Just then Ahaan saw something sparkling in her eyes...tears...

Ahaan- Ishqi tum ro rahi ho?

Ishqi- na...nabi...

Ishqi said as she ate her burger bite...

Ahaan- tumhe nahi lagta aaj ke liye tumne bohot jhoot bol diye hai, ab bas chup hoke sach boldo.

Ishqi- tum mu'pe aapni dhoupabbi nabi dipa sakte...

Ahaan- Ishqi!!

Ahaan said now being really angry, Ishqi quietly chewed her burger and then sipped some water...

Ahaan- ab batao tumhari aankho mein aansu kyu hai?

Ishqi- kuch nahi bas maa ki yaad aagayi. Woh bhi aise hi mujhe khana khilati thi jab main bimar padti thi.

Ishqi wiped away her tears while Ahaan said nothing just hugged her tightly. Ishqi was totally confused by his action but still reciprocated...

They were in the same position for a couple of minutes and then Ishqi broke the hug...

Ahaan- Ishqi even mujhe bhi mom ki yaad aati hai, tum ek kaam karo agar zyada yaad aarahi hai toh call karlo.

"Isse kaise batao ke main maa se kyu baat nahi kar sakti. Karni bhi chahi toh kya woh karengi?"

Ishqi- main baadme karlungi, waise avm tumne burger order kiya toh fries nahi order kiye?

Ahaan- kiye hai na par tum nahi khaogi.

Ishqi- kyu abhi toh bola na kuch kha lo aur ab maang Rahi hu toh tum de nahi rahe ho.

Ahaan- ha par fries oily hote hai tumhara gala kharab hojayega. Aur waise bhi tum already bimar nahi ho.

Ishqi- gala kharab hojayega meri line hai, tum churao mat aur main sirf fries hi khaungi aur kuch nahi khaungi.

Ahaan- Ishqi zidd mat karo.

Ishqi- no means no...

Before they could argue further, one of the crew members came telling them that the lunch break was over...

Ishqi- accha hua lunch break khatam hogaya, waise Ahaan tumne toh kuch bhi nahi khaya...

Ishqi said pointing at his untouched burger...

Ahaan- jaldi yaad aagaya, agar tum chote baccho jaise natak nahi karti toh dono ka lunch hojata, ab chalo...

As they were shooting, Ishqi was not being able to focus, her headache was worse than ever now. With a throbbing headache she went to the director and asked if she could leave. He immediately agreed and Ishqi went straight home while Ahaan was unaware of this, he kept searching for Ishqi...

Ahaan- excuse me Robin sir have you seen where Ishqi is?

Robin- oh yeah she took a sick leave.

Ahaan- what? I..I mean okay...

"Ahaan yeh tujhe kya hogaya hai, tujhe uski itni chinta kyu ho rahi hai, bas bimar hai, sab padte hai bimar waise woh bhi padgayi usme itni badi baat kya hai. Uski itni care kyu karne laga hu main...Do I...Do I...like her?"

Ahaan quickly came out of his thoughts and then tried to focus on shoot but couldn't, his mind kept repeating that same question again and again...

As they wrapped up, Ahaan immediately started driving towards Ishqi's house but then something else popped up in his and he turned to go back home...

Just as Ahaan reached home, he changed into some comfy pants and sweatshirt and then video called Savitri, his mom...
