Hero of My Heart (DeepVeer AU)

Varun's Cameraman Skills Can Kill

Deepika, Priyanka, and Alia were sitting in a coffee shop, discussing strategies on how to defeat Zaheer.

"So, I was thinking-" Deepika was cut off as her phone pinged. "Hmmm... oh! It's Varun. It seems to be a video."

Alia leaned closer. "Play it! Play it!"

"Alright, alright, I will..."

Deepika played the video. She raised her eyebrows as she watched her husband's little stunt. Alia and Priyanka were giggling, cheering, and screaming, all at the same time.

"Woah! How did he do that?" Alia screeched. "I would be splattered on the road like an egg yoke!"

"Same here," Priyanka chuckled.

Deepika smiled to herself. Ranveer looked so- Nope! Nevermind! She could save those thoughts for later. Right now, she had to call Ranveer. Or actually, Varun, in this case.

"Hi Varun," Deepika greeted him sweetly after he picked up the call. "Is Ranveer there?"

Well, currently, he's riding the motorcycle he just hijacked. But yes, he is. Ranbir, get the car closer, I need to give Ranveer the phone. Oh, wait, Tiger, I think you can reach him.

"Can I speak with Ranbir?" Alia asked.

Yeah, sure. Ranbir, I'm gonna have Aloo talk to you first. Is that okay, Deepika?

"Yes, of course," Deepika agreed.

Varun handed the phone over to Ranbir.

Hi, Alia!

"Ranbiiiiiir!" Alia squealed. "I miss you!"

I miss you, too, dear. Don't worry, I promise we'll be home as soon as we're done investigating. I can't estimate how long it will take, since it truly depends, but we'll try to wrap things up quickly. Trust me, none of us are excited about spending days and nights in Delhi. I think I'd be creeped out after just one hour! I wonder how Hrithik did it. But we'll have to stay here longer than him, which is unfortunate.

Alia sighed. "You're right. You can give the phone to Ranveer now."

Tiger, give the phone to Ranveer.

Alia handed the phone to Deepika.

"Ranveer?"

Hey, Deepu... why did you call?

"Did you not want me to?" She frowned.

What? No.. of course not! Just curious, that's all.

"Well, for starters, I saw your little stunt."

Ranveer chuckled nervously on the other end. Is that so?

"It is very much so! Baby, that is not only dangerous but also risky!"

Baby, don't even try to deny that my motorcycle stunt wasn't the least bit cool.

Deepika felt her lips twitching with a smile. "No. No, I won't try to deny it because I can't. It was cool."

Ha! Hmmm... there's something you're not telling me...

Deepika blushed. "How do you know that? You're not even with me right now!"

How I wish I was... and to answer your question, I can just tell. I know you too well. What is it? Does it have to do with me?

Deepika heard Ajay laugh in the background. A wave of relief washed over her.

"Is that Ajay sir?"

Yup. And clearly he thinks my comment was funny. Come on, Deepu, prove him wrong and me right! What's on your mind?

"You just looked so hot in that video, baby..." Deepika smirked when she heard Ranveer stammer. Alia and Priyanka giggled in unison.

Did I know? Told you, Ajay sir! Told you!

Deepika giggled along with her friends.

"I miss you, baby. I love you so much!" She told him.

I miss you so much too. I love you, too, my love. Stay safe. Be careful. Make sure Alia and Priyanka don't get in trouble. Tell Kajol ji that we have Ajay sir. Call again later so they can talk.

"Of course, jaan. I love you. Bye!"

Deepika hung up and slid the phone back into her purse. The three girls continued their conversation.
