KarIti (Kartik Aaryan And Kriti Sanon)

Plan Gone Wrong.

Kriti:

Something is off... Really off. Kartik is behaving really strangely. And he is already a strange guy to begin with. He's a weirdo by blood but today he's acting weirdly weird....especially with me.

Ugh if only I could explain this situation to anyone. I know I can always talk to Nupur, my sister but.... Until and unless I am not sure what's going on with him I can't risk telling her because she will start teasing me with his name. Again!

I mean he's acting strange only with me... And that too so smartly that I don't think anyone else is noticing this strange behaviour. He is answering my question but that's just about it. No personal input, nothing. It's like that friendly Kartik is gone and replaced by this super professional well behaved first time meeting kartik.

God!!! I sound delusional.

So I walk upto him and sit on a chair beside him meanwhile he's on his phone. The usual. Ugh

No greeting, no acknowledgement, nothing.

"What is wrong with you?"

"What is wrong with me?" He asks in return without looking up at me. He's still looking at his stupid phone.

"You're avoiding me."

"How can I avoid you when I am talking to you."

"You know damn well you're avoiding me Kartik, Just tell me why"

After giving a dramatic sigh he finally looks up and meet my eyes. But something....is off.

Before he has a chance to say anything we're interrupted by our crew.

And I lost my only chance of talking to him because I couldn't catch him alone after that.

********************************

Kartik:

It's been few days since Kriti asked me why am I avoiding her. And I would be lying if I'll say that it was easy. Damn thing was killing me.

We didn't have a schedule together so it was easy to keep my distance but life wasn't the same without her. She kept texting me but I had to ignore most of her text.

I keep telling myself that it's for her own good. I am not something she wants or need. And with my dreams, ambitions and career I won't be able to give her the time and attention she truly deserves.

"Hey Kartik, can you stay today a little late than we planned? We have a scene to reshoot." Our director Rohit said.

"I don't mind staying till late but which scene?"

"The one with Kriti. Remember the scene where you almost kissed and then we dimmed the lights. Well it will need a redoing and you have to act a makeout scene with her. We won't be changing the lights today. It has to be that way or we won't be able to justify the consequences of it."

A make out scene with Kriti? There went all my efforts in a fucking toilet.

"Have you talked to kriti about this?" I asked to make sure if she's on the same page and if she's comfortable.

"Yeah. She said that if it's important than she doesn't mind."

Of course she said that. When it comes to her work she takes it seriously and I can't blame her for that. I am that way too.

"Fine than."

"Great! I'll prepare for your shot. Let me know when you're ready."

And with great excitement Rohit got up and left me with my haywire feelings alone.

This scene might ruin my entire plan.
