Next morning, Abhishek went to pick Jiya at airport and they got papped together. Jiya was on cloud 9 as Abhishek was with her.
They reached the hotel and Abhishek had his lunch with Jiya. After lunch, he was talking with Jiya when his phone ranged and he picked up the call.
'han Abhishek kahan hai tu? Hum airport par puhunch gaye hain bas bahar nikal rahe hain tu samne hi rehna.' an overexcited Manisha almost shouted from the other side.
He regretted his decision to ditch her like this as soon as he sense her excitement level of meeting him.
'Manisha I am sorry mein airport nh aaya hun tujhe lenay lekn mera manager bahar khara hai tu uske sath chali ja apni mummy ke ghar.' Abhishek said in a low voice as he don't want Jiya to know that he's talking to Manisha.
Manisha got hurt listening him. She didn't reply anything and just cut the call.
Somewhere deep down she still has a hope that he must be joking and will meet her outside but her hope crushed as soon as she saw his manager standing there to receive her.
'hi Manisha kesay hu ap?' his manager asked as he took her bag in his hand.
'hum thik hain.' Manisha replied with a smile.
He guided her towards the car and she sat at the backseat whereas the manager started driving the car.
On the other hand Abhishek felt bad as Manisha cut his call. He dialed her number but she didn't pick up.
'wesay Abhishek tujhe nh lagta hai ke tujhe jtni bhi hate milti hai wo Manisha ki waja se hai? Tu soch agar wo na huti to bahar sirf hum dono ka couple huta or koi opposite fandom nh huti. Tu bhi sukoon se rehta.' Jiya asked him.
'aisay to agar tu na huti to bhi mein sukoon se rehta matlb sirf mera or Manisha ka couple huta or koi opposite fandom nh huti hamari.'
'lekn hate to tujhe tab bhi milta.'
'wo kesay?'
'aray tu ne usay show mein behan kaha tha or tu bahar anay ke baad behan se dost par flip krta to tab bhi hate tu milta hi na tujhe. Is se mera kya lena dena hai.' Jiya said and Abhishek kept quiet as he thought that technically she's right. The hatred for him is because of that one word only.
'agar tu Manisha se duri bana le to hi sahi rahe ga hai na. I mean mujhay pta hai ke tum dono koi project nh kro ge sath mein lekn real life mein bhi tu use thora dur hi rahe to behtar hai. Ab dekh na 2 mahine se tm log social media par ek dusre ko ignore kar rahe hu lekn kal usne reporters ke samne bakwas krdi. Ab agar real mei tu ne usay aisa kaha hi nh huta to wo kabhi bhi na bolti kyun ke wo jesi bhi hai kabhi jhuth nh bolti. To teray liye ek friendly advice hai ke tera career abhi peak par hai or aisay mein roz roz teray liye negitive batein teray career par affect krein gi even Manisha ke career par bhi to tum dono thoray arsay ke liye ek dusre se break le lo.' Jiya said.
Abhishek didn't reply to her but her words somewhere effected him.
'or wesay bhi Manisha ko to adat hai fozol mein controversies krne ki.'
'Manisha ne knsi controversy ki?'
'aray tujhe yaad nh hai jab hamra mv poster release hua tha to teray fans ne meri jaga uski pic edit krdi thi or usne wo like kardi thi photo. Or phir wo uske vlog ka thumbnail or jab wo interview mein usne bola tha ke wo meray sath dosti nh karna chahti. Wo aisa bhi to bol sakti thi na ke hum ache dost hain sirf logon ko dekhane ke liye sahi shayad dono fandoms ke beech mein dosti hu jati is waja se lekn nh madam ko to controversy hi chahiye.'
Abhishek didn't fully agree with her but the last point hit him. Yes, she's right if Manisha would have said that Jiya is her good friend than the hate between two fandoms will be less. Abhishek started thinking about it and Jiya smirked as her plan got successful.
