'ab btayein gi ap ke ye sab kiya hai?' Vishal asked as he started driving.
'hamien nh pta tha ke wo hai male lead.' Manisha replied as she closed her eyes resting her head on the back of seat.
'tu mana kar sakti hai is webseries ke liye mein penalty waghaira dekh lun ga.' Vishal said getting concerned for her as somewhere he knows what she feels for him.
'hum kyun mana karein ge hmari pehli webseries hai or hamien unprofessional nh bana hai.'
'Manisha ye romentic webseries hai or tu female lead or wo male lead tu smajh rai hai na?'
'han to kya hua pehli baar thori krein ge ksi ke sath on screen romance.' Manisha said.
'Manisha Abhishek alag hai tu pyaar...' Vishal was going to complete his sentence but Manisha cut him in between.
'hum ksi se pyar nh krte hain. Wo bas unhi co-actors ki tarah hai jin ke sath hum kaam kar chukay hain or shoot khtm hunay ke baad aj tak milein bhi nh hai. Is se bhi shooting khtm hunay ke bad nh dikhein ge bhi nh kabhi.' Manisha said with determination.
Vishal knew what phase she's in. She's living in this denial phase from one year that she don't love him. She don't have any special relationship with him. She has buried her feelings for him deep inside her heart and never let those feelings out. She's very good at hiding her feelings.
Initially she used to cry her heart out at nights missing him. She is used to get panick attacks late night in her room where she consoled herself alone only God knows how. But she was eventually getting better when he again entered her life.
'chal Manisha.' Vishal said as they got out of the car.
'Vishal itne baray restaurant mein lanay ki kya zaroarat thi?' Manisha said as they settled down in a lavish restaurant.
'aray tu agar lenay de to mein to roz tujhe aisay hi restaurants mein le kar aoun lekn tu manti hi nh hai. Par aj mein teri ek nh sunu ga aj itna bara din hai. Teri webseries ka shoot start hua hai to aj to party banti hai. Bta kya khaye gi?'
Manisha looked at him feeling grateful. He's the only one who stood by her side in her struggling days when when everyone left her side. He has been with her for years now and used to take of her every little thing.
'thank you Vishal.' she thanked him.
'kyun?'
'tu hmare sath tab se hai jab sab ne hamra sath chor diya tha. Pta nh hum teray ehsano ka badla kesay utarein ge.'
'khush reh kar. Mein bas tujhe khush dekhna chahta hun bas.' Vishal said making her smile genuinely at him. He's indeed a true friend.
'hum khush hain babu.'
'ye bolna usko ja kar jo teri jhothi smile ke peechay ka sach na janta hu.'
'chal na kch acha sa order krte hain. Pta hai aj lunch krne ka bhi time nh mila hamein. Bht bhuk lagi hai ab.' Manisha said as she got busy with the menu card.
'baat ghumana koi tujh se sikhey.' Vishal said as he called the waiter.
'Abhishek kya hua? Tu ne Manisha ko dinner ka bol dia?' his manager asked as he entered his vanity.
'wo apne dost ke sath dinner par chali gai kyun ke usne mujh se pehlay pucha tha us se.' he replied sitting on the sofa.
'matlb wo tujhe ignore kar rai hai. Chal koi baat nh normal reaction hai thoray din to lagein ge hi thik hunay mein.' his manager as he sat beside him.
'yehi to problem hai ke wo ignore nh kar rai hai.' Abhishek said massaging his temples as his head was bursting with pain.
'kya matlb?'
