" not now shehnaaz" he uttered finding her at the doorstep.

" I don't want your much time" she replied in a soft voice.

" who is at the door darling???" a voice came breaking their eye contact.

" no one, just coming back in a sec" he answered.

" I am sorry I didn't know you were busy" she whispered turning back to her feet, an unwanted tear escaped her eye, She didn't know what she expected or why she felt bad about it, it's his life, he can do whatever he wants, who is she?? Just a mere colleague or a friend, and maybe he was just a good human, which she misunderstood with something else...

" hey girl where are you Lost??"Rajiv uttered standing next to her.

" kahin nh, bs yuhi, I am so sorry, Maine sabka time waste Kia set par, I swear I mugged up all the lines very well, but pta nh...."

" heyy!!!! Relax relax" he said patting her shoulder slightly, wanna have a cup of tea," he asked sweetly.

"I'm on a diet but a cup of tea won't harm?? Hena!!" he smiled shaking his neck in denial.

" see shehnaaz I don't know what's going on between you two, what was the matter but trust me baba woh matter koi nh Janna cahega jab critics apko judge kregi, millions of girls have a crush on him you are not new but the thing is you are one in million who got this chance to act, to live a life of someone else, to portrait feelings... don't waste your talent bcz of this feelings, it's not worth it, and if you have any of them just side me rkho unko, he is experienced, way too much, woh kisi bhi situation me acting kar lega, but you are new... you are good and you can do it..." Rajiv had known her for so long but he himself didn't know when he started feeling attracted towards her, he faced a lot in his life, he is a man of few words, he loves to write and he lives for writing... he never ever looked at a girl after his first break up which ended in a very bad mode, he distant himself from the so-called word people emphasize love, but seeing the girl who is sitting in front of him with head hung low probably having tears in her eyes, he knows she is out of his reach, and he is not gonna cross it too.

" how do you know???"

" ye obvious hai, what all I want to say just focus on your work... ok" she nodded.

" have your tea, thandi Ho jayegi"

" aap Meri help krenge, I mean I'm new, you are...." he wants to deny but can he really....

" I am always there but you don't need me, you are talented just follow the instructions" she smiled sipping on her tea.

" do you really think people will like me,"

" they are gonna love you"

" and you??" she questioned, he was startled for a second.

" I mean aap director Ho,"

" choose your words wisely sana"

" ok ok it may sound like something else but tell me aap Meri help kroge.... Please"

"On the count of 3, 2 and action"

" jaana zarorri hai???" she asked with tears in her eyes.

" jawab de??? Waise toh bade bade waade kiye the aur Ab beech mazdaar me chl diye apna basta utha kar" she complained further hitting on his chest lightly.

" fauzi Hu me ek, aur mera koi ek thikana toh nh hai, na kabhi hoga, jab Jahan..."

" bhut Bure hai aap" he chuckled caressing her cheek with the tip of his rough fingers.

" aap intzaar krengi???"

" bilkul nh, bhala me kyu karne lagi intzaar," she whispered hiding her face in the warmth of his chest.

" pta nh me fir aa paun ya nh par tumhare chehre pe mujhe aise hi muskaan chiye... humesa"  he said kissing on top of her head.

" and cut"

" that was amazing shehnaaz" she nodded looking at his direction, he didn't utter a single word, not even a word of appreciation, the least he could do, he just gave her a look... which she couldn't decipher the meaning, and just like that he went in his vanity.

" hey Siddharth where are you going men just look at this, you guys were so good, the public gonna fall in love with both of you" Tanay screamed.

" kesa tha???" she asked with hope in her eyes.

" that's good, I think you can do better than this" Rajiv commented ignoring her alluring face.

" bloody man, appreciate Hi nh krna jante"

" shehnaaz don't go there, he must be busy" Tanay said seeing her going at his vanity.

" I am going for my touch-up, don't worry I will not disturb him," he nods.
***************
" she was good" Tanay commented sitting beside him.

" she has more potential than this, it's not her best yet" Sidharth replied after observing every minute detail of the scene, her expressions, dialogue delivery, her body language...

"It's her first film, go easy on her,"

"That's not an option Tanay, there is only a slight difference between a film or a masterpiece, I want this to work out,"

" Tu bewajah itna stress le rha hai, you need to relax...itna pressure mat daal, I know she is affecting you deeply..."

" aur woh mujhe kyu affect kregi, we are only co-stars, jaise aur sab the waise hi ye bhi hai" he speaks moving out of the room, as he waits for the lift he lit up his cigarette as soon as he takes the first drag his muscles relaxing, with every inhale followed a soft exhale of wonderous pattern, his eyes closed with ease...

" do you wanna come inside or not??" he heard, which made him come to reality, he locked his eyes with her and he lost in them... if he ever got a chance to describe innocence that would be her... shehnaaz the definition of innocence, she breaks the eye contact which didn't go well with him...followed by a dull ache in his heart.

" smoking is injurious to health" she read out loud the warning written on the fences.

" where are you going??" the words slipped his mouth before he can control

" Am I answerable to you?" she asked.

" yes you are, seems like you are going somewhere at this hour of night... and you have an early call time in the morning... and I am a producer..."

" ohh so producer shaab let me tell you, I will be on time... and Meri personal life me Ky chl rha hai usse apk koi mtlb nh hona chiye..bye bye... goodnight.. See you tomorrow" Before she could step out of the elevator he held her hand.

" what do you want??" she questioned closing the distance between them, her breath fastened feeling his rough hand sliding on her waist, she could smell alcohol in his system as he spoke just above her lips.

" are you going out with a boy??"

" does it matter" she said

" I m very open-minded but in your case, I am not..." her heart flutters she loves this, his honesty, his dominance however she also knew he was going to regret it.

" But I choose not to answer, just stay away from me Mr superstar"
