Parth And Niti (PaNi FF): Professionals At Work

Chapter Seven: The Third Wheel

Half an hour later, I found myself walking out of the cabin, to god knows where. He wasn't leaving. He had thought of leaving. He had thought of leaving the show which gave him so much of fame , which introduced us, which was such a huge turn in his career ! How could he do this ?

"He didn't tell me the reason Niti.." Richa ma'am had said when I had asked her. "I asked him if there were problems persisting between the two of you and he just shifted the conversation to a different tangent.

So maybe it was true. I was the reason he wanted to leave. He couldn't tolerate me, maybe. He just wanted to find ways to not see my face now that we knew about KY2 getting an extension after 100 episodes. I should have known before. He has changed. Changed into a being I had never wished him to be. He changed into someone who was the last person I wanted to talk to. He was making me feel so disgusted because inspite of all this I had absolutely no control over my feelings.

I really wanted to hate him. I wanted to feel indifferent towards him and his behavior but couldn't . I wanted to stop those tears from flowing down my cheeks because clearly he didn't deserve them. He didn't deserve anything. And maybe this time, I was sure. I was sure of the fact that no matter what happened I was going to hate him. I was going to behave cold in front of him, no matter what he said and did and kill all my feelings for him, because he DID not deserve him. He kept on hurting me, and I had always let him, but now no more. This quitting thing was probably the last straw. I could not have feelings for someone so ruthless like him. He didn't deserve it.

I was absentmindedly walking without noticing anyone and anything and that's when I collided with a tall human, who was not Parth. His ovular face had deep brown eyes buried into the respective sockets and he had a long nose with a blunt end. He caressed his nose for I reached only uptill there and my forehead had banged right onto his nose so he was bound to get hurt.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled frantically after looking at him and observing his facial features a little intently. I had never looked at anyone so carefully before apart from Parth, umm Manik who had already raised the bar of hypnotism too damn high for anyone to even reach near to it.

"Niti right?" The guy asked and I immediately wore a questioning expression. He was definitely not a fan because fans weren't even allowed int this particular area and not one of the crew people either.. So who was he ?

I nodded sheepishly while he forwarded his palm and gave a pretty genuine smile.

"My name is Zain. Zain Imam. Im going to play the character of Abhimanyu Thakkar on the show."

"Abhimanyu Thakkar?" I had no memories of listening to this name.

"Yup. Mukti's love interest. That's me. I will start shooting day after tomorrow. Just wanted to meet Richa ma'am and I just met Charlie ."

New character ! New friend maybe. He was good looking no doubt and sweet as well.

"Oh, welcome to the show." I placed my palm onto his and shook hands with him, with a smile fixed on my lips. "I can already sense that it's gonna be really good working with you."

"Hey ! Is the beautiful lady in front of me crying ?" He asked. I realized my cheeks were still pretty moist and eyes red. I rubbed my eyes using my kerchief and shook my head in a no.

"You can tell me..I'm a good listener."

I laughed at his reply. He seemed decent and pretty observant. He would make good friends maybe.

"Now that smile suits you Missy !" He chuckled and I laughed back. It had been quite sometime.

"So you guys have met each other already?" Richa ma'am came towards us and stood next to me.
