When They Cross Paths

WTCP (3)

Back at home...

"Hey Bruno..come here!".. Bruno gets a surreal indication when he arrives. Sidharth's happy place revolves around him lately..

"Bhaiya, aap itni jaldi kaise agaye?!"...Mili is amazed to see him this early..

"Because it's my Mili's birthday! Can I afford to be late?!"

"Aww Bhaiya!"...she smiles at him..

"Monica is here too lekin Bruno k leye gadi se nehi utar rahi hai!"...😂

"Hayee Ram! Kaha hai Monica Di..?!"..Mili goes to the other side to find Monica sitting inside the car..

"Areh Di, ajao bahar! Bruno achha bachha hai! Kuch nehi karega!"...Mili tries to comfort her fear..

"Aabe yaar Mili isko hatha tabhi tou I can come out!"..Monica is hell scared of dogs..😅

"Ok ok..I am taking Bruno inside! Bhaiya aap Di ko leke ajaiye andar.."...Mili takes Bruno inside accordingly..

"Gayi Mili?!"...Monica asks..

"Haan gayi..ab bahar aja nautanki!"

"Yaar Sid! Pehle tou main waise bhi kam aati thi..now you made it more impossible by bringing this Bruno! Hadh hai!"..Monica complains as she comes out of his car..

Sidharth chuckles and walks into the house..

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

Everyone gathered around the table to have dinner..

"Areh wah! That's quite a spread!".. says Sidharth..

"Haan ji! All your favorite!"...Mili is always happy to do anything for Sidharth..

"Mili! Did you cook all these?!"... Sidharth doesn't like Mili doing all these at this age..

"Maine mana kiya tha beta! Sunti kaha hai kuch?! Kehti hai, Bhaiya k leye main khud banaungi sab kuch!"...Dhiraj Kaka justifies..

"Beta! This is no age of doing all these! Abhi time hai..! You are only 15!"

"Oho! Bhaiya! Mujhe achha lagta hai! Jab meri bhabhi ayengi tou main yeh sab nehi karungi! Simple! Kyun Moinica Di?!"...Mili winks at her..

"Hmm point! But do you think he would ever get married?!"...asks Monica sarcastically..

"Kyun nehi karenge! Zaroor karenge!"

"Bohot bolne lagi hai tu bachha!"...he drapes an arm around Mili and squeezes her cheeks..

"Achha sorry! Baith jaiye sab. Let's have dinner now!"

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

Sidharth and Monica are having chats in his living room after the dinner..

"Mili...?"... Sidharth calls out for her..

"Haan ji Bhaiya..aati hoon.."...Mili walks into the living room hurriedly..

"Come here! Sit with us for a while..".. Sidharth extends his arms..

"Haan.. boliye.."...Mili carries this sweetest smile which makes Sidharth feel content..

"This is for you.."..he gives her an envelope..

"Yeh kya hai Bhaiya?"..Mili asks very innocently..

"Your birthday present!"

"Sachhi?!"..her eyes shine in excitement but that doesn't last for long as she gets all overwhelmed after seeing what he has brought for her..

"Bhaiya!!"...tears accumulate in both her eyes..

"You wanted to study in this school na Beta?!"...he gently rubs her hair..

"Awww Sid just look at her yaar! She is in tears already!"...Monica holds her from behind..

"I had contacts in management. So got your seat! Admission k leye tujhe jana padega. Ab bol tu khush hai na?".. Sidharth asks endearingly..

"You are such a good soul Bhaiya! Thank you! I can't be more grateful!"...she touches his hands with her forehead to show her gratitude..

Sidharth pulls her into a hug and says..."What grateful?! Bhaiya bulati hai, so this is least a brother can do beta!"

"Thank you!"

"You are most welcome! Now you will have to make me prouder! Theek hai?"

"Haan ji..main Dadaji ko bata k aati hoon!"

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

"Yaar Sid! Whatever happened today was hilarious! The way Disha reacted!"..Monica recalls how Disha was brought down by Sana..

"Yaar yeh Disha is just another wanna be! I will speak to Dhruv. He needs to think again before casting Disha!"

"Ab kuch nehi ho sakta! Disha has already signed the contract!"...Monica informs..

"Yaar that's not a good news for Dhruv!".. Sidharth sighs..

"Certainly not! Lekin kya kar sakte?!"...Monica rolls her eyes..

"Lekin kuch bhi bol yaar! I loved what Sana did! Kya jawab deti hai yaar! Clean bold kardiya!"... Sidharth laughs out loud remembering the whole act..

"Oh yes! She was hell spontaneous!"...Monica can't agree more!

"Waise manna parega! Talent tou hai is ladki mein!"...says Sidharth very confidently..

"Kya baat hai Sid! This is a rare scene! You doing so much tareef!"..Monica tries pulling his leg..

"Achha? Bruno ko laun?"...he chuckles...😂

"Aabe! I am getting late! Chal milte hai kal set par! Byeeee..Mili aur Kaka ko goodnight boldena!"..she proceeds towards the door..

"Aur Bruno ko?".. Sidharth doesn't wish to stop..

"Shut up!"..Monica gets out eventually..😅

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

Few days later, when look test starts..

"Dhruv ji..ek baat bataun?"...asks a concerned Sana..

"Haan Sana bolo.."...Dhruv seems equally frustrated..

"I am not convinced by her acting! She is ruining the gist of my character!"...Sana seems very tensed and Sidharth has been noticing this from distance..

"Haan Sana! Even I am confused! Lekin ab kuch kar bhi tou nehi sakte!"

"Kyun nehi kar sakte! Of course kar sakte hai Dhruv!"... Sidharth joins them from behind..

Sana turns around to face him..

"Yaar we are bound by a contract already!"..Dhruv hits the reason..

"Baad mein loss hone se achha hai abhi ho jaye! Just pay the demurrage and discontinue the contract! Honestly she is terrible at acting!"... Sidharth peels the beans and Sana becomes bewildered!

"Kuch zyada sach nehi boldiya aapne Shukla ji?!"..Sana smiles wittily..

He looks at her mischievously.."Tum bhi tou yehi chahti ho na?"

"Ummm..aisi baat nehi hai! I mean.."

"Oh please Sana! I have seen your disgusted face while she delivers her lines!"...he smirks..🤭

"Matlab kuch bhi! Galat ilzam laga rahe ho aap mere upar Sidharth ji!"

"Achha ji?! Tou kare continue uske sath contract?!"..he acts naughty now..

"Maine aisa kab kaha?!"

"Writer ji! You are messing with the wrong man!"... Monica drapes an arm around Sana playfully..

Sana starts blushing and walks away...
