Aakash's POV:
I am glad that Naina is supposed to assist me today, instead of that other guy, what was his name....Pawaan, Chamaan, Pankaj... Urgh, doesn't matter!
I have been unable to sleep properly for the last two nights, and I miss my mother terribly. Being sick is bad, but being sick in a city where you don't have any loved ones is worse.
Yes, Rahul is helpful. He's probably my closest person here, but whenever I fall sick I wish to go home and eat food cooked by my mother. Nothing is more comforting than homemade food, but all I get here is that disgusting soup that makes me feel worse.
However, Naina feeding me soup with her own hands was somehow very soothing. I know that she was doing her job, but it felt very warm, just like family.
We started the shoot at the scheduled time. It's a photo shoot so it's supposed to wrap up early, and that's the only reason Rahul allowed me to come to this shoot in spite of my fever. Nonetheless, I have to maintain a safe distance from most of the crew, what if I end up passing the virus to them!
As soon as everyone had taken their respective positions, the photoshoot started. All these children looked super excited to get a picture clicked with me. I had no idea I was famous among children as well!
After almost half an hour, and at least a dozen pictures, the photographer seemed satisfied with his work. I quickly glanced at a few pictures, and they looked fine.
Suddenly, the sky turned grey and there was a loud thunder. Probably it will rain soon.
Rahul came to me and said, "We need to leave soon, your work here is done anyway. You cannot get drenched in this rain. Remember the last time you got drenched while having a fever? The body ache was so severe that you couldn't move for four days!"
He's right, I tend to fall sick very easily, even if a few drops of rain fall on me!
God gave me such a handsome face but such low immunity!
I started walking towards my car so that I can leave.
Just then a bunch of kids from the slum came up to me.
"Bhaiya, you promised us you would give each of us your autograph before you leave", a small boy said with teary eyes. The kids had probably understood that I was going to leave soon, and yes he was right, I did promise them, but I didn't expect it to suddenly get cloudy! Anyway, I didn't wanna break their hearts, so I came up with a solution.
"Yes, of course, I will leave an autograph to each one of you before I leave", I assured them.
I asked for a chair, and my bodyguard stood beside me with an open umbrella. In case it started drizzling, my bodyguard would make sure that I don't get drenched.
The kids lined up, and I started signing autographs. First there were only 8-10 kids, but suddenly all the kids in the slum and even some adolescents came, and the crowd grew up to 20!
As I started signing the autographs, the sky became darker and there was another loud thunder. Although Rahul had asked me multiple times to abort the autograph mission, I didn't wanna break their hearts. These kids are so cute, I cannot make them cry!
Just as I finished signing the last autograph, it started drizzling. Handing over the autograph to the last kid in the line, I stood up from the chair. My bodyguard was making sure that not a single drop of rainwater falls on me, but the sky had other plans!
Just as I started walking towards my car, there was a strong wind which blew the umbrella.
I was drenched immediately and my clothes were spoiled within a few seconds.
