"Make yourself comfortable haha" Ash laughs.

Sristi sits down on the sofa before looking around her apartment. Although it's small, it was well decorated. From colours, to wall hangings, even the furniture, everything looked perfect and fit the room well.

"Your place is great, Ash" Sristi says.

"Thank you"

"It's definitely not, because she doesn't do her laundry or the dishes for days." Rohan adds.

"Shut up! you don't need to tell her that" Ash shouts

"Why not? You make me clean all your mess"

The more Sristi watched them, the more she wished to have something like them. It was like they were having fun, doing whatever they want, living however they want.

It was strange...

What did she feel?

Jealousy?

Attraction?

Or something else?

Sristi didn't know.

She just knew that she wanted to be a part of whatever they had.

"Wait I'll bring you some thing good to eat" Ash gets up and leaves to the kitchen.

Sristi starts feeling anxious as this is the first time she's alone with Rohan.

Rohan scans her from top to bottom and says, "You are really pretty".

It takes her by surprise.

"Ah tha-thanks" she says.

"You don't even need makeup, I think you are the prettiest girl I've seen" He smiles.

"Oh-"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No..."

"Then would you like to..."

Before Rohan can finish his sentence, they hear Ash scream from the kitchen.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE CAN'T DO IT!? SHE ALREADY TOOK THE ADVANCE MONEY!!!"

Sristi is very surprised to hear Ash scream like that. It sounds like she's talking on the phone.

"KEEP YOUR EXCUSES FOR LATER!  WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW!?? I HAVE ALREADY..."

She sounds really mad.

"Fuck...he cut the call."

Ash comes out of the kitchen looking extremely frustrated.

"What's wrong Ash? Who was it?" Rohan asks.

"It's Pratik, he said the last woman ran away with the money, he can't contact her..."

"What!? Then what are we gonna do? The shoot day is tomorrow...How do we find someone so fast??"

"I don't know don't ask me anything"

Ash covers her forehead and drops down on the sofa.

"What's wrong?" Sristi who was listening to everything finally asks.

"Well we are in a problem..." Rohan says.

"ROHAN" Ash stops him.

"What?"

"Keep your mouth shut"

Sristi gets confused.

What's going on? She said someone took her money and ran away...

What kind of things does she do?

When Sristi is busy thinking, Ash finally speaks up.

"Sorry for scaring you, I was having some issues. But don't worry about that! Come with me I'll show you my room" Ash smiles.

"Oh okay"

Ash takes Sristi to her room.

"So you don't want her to know huh?" Rohan whispers to himself.

Aishwarya's room was surprisingly very girly, with pink everywhere.

Starting from the walls, to her comb even clips.

"You must like pink a lot" Sristi says looking around.

"Yup it's my favourite colour. What's yours?"

"Same here. I love pink" Sristi smiled.

"Really? Wow! Come sit over here" Ash brings Sristi before her dressing table.

Sristi sits down on the chair before the mirror.

The mirror reflects the figure of Ash standing behind.

"You have really beautiful skin" Ash strokes her cheeks.

Her touch is feather light, Sristi's face turns warm.

"Thank you..."

"Do you have any particular look in mind that you want to try??" Ash asks.

"Uh well I always wanted to try smokey eyes"

"Hmm okay I will try"

And then Ash takes out her makeup bag.

All the products are from high end brands.

"These are so expensive, she must be very rich or something" Sristi wonders.

And then getting down on her knees before Sristi, Ash begins her magic.

For some reason Sristi's heart skips a beat, when Ash got closer.

"She's only doing my makeup why am I getting nervous?"

It was a strange feeling...

But Sristi really liked it.

When Ash touches her face while working her brush, then looks at her so closely and tries her best to make her beautiful...

Why does it feel so good?

Sristi didn't understand at that time.

"Done!"

"Already?" Sristi opens her eyes.

She felt strangely disappointed that it was already over.

"Yeah take a look!"

Ash moves her body, so Sristi can take a good look in the mirror before.

And Sristi's eyes widened.

She had never seen herself like this.

The makeup changed the look of her whole face.

"You look really sexy..." Ash says.

"Huh?"

"Oh I mean- you look good" Ash laughs nervously.

"I look very different with smokey eyes"

"You are right, this kind of makeup is supposed to make you look bold. You look like a grown woman..."

"Oh I see. Thank you, it's really awesome" Sristi smiles.

Then taking out her phone, she decides to take a selfie.

"Come here, Ash" Sristi says pointing the camera towards their face.

"Ah me?"

"Yeah, let's take a picture together"

Ash bends down towards Sristi and smiles at the camera.

Sristi clicks their picture together.

It was their first picture together.
