We Were Destined to be together

PART III

I was exhausted. It was indeed a very tiring and hectic day. A day which will  always be special to me. A day filled with surreal emotions. Feelings which were hushed deep down in my heart suddenly erupted and made my life a living hell. How I wish to live those moments again.
Oh god it's really getting difficult to get out of this mess. So the only thing that can be my saviour is my cigarette. I lit it and started taking that poisonous air inside my lungs. Yes I know smoking is injurious to health but I can't help myself. I regret every breathe that I take this air in but I just can't quit. I hope someday I will be able to do that or may be for someone I will do that. But for now it is my knight in shining armour.
I finished my dinner and went straight to my bed. My eyes are getting heavy and now it's impossible to stay awake. Ting Ting Ting the clock struck 12. I was beyond irritated by that sudden disturbance and even cursed myself to have that wall clock hanging there. But suddenly something hit me. It is 8th jan. Someone's special birthday. A few minutes ago I was very much sleepy and now it looks like I am an insomniac. What might they be doing now? Where they might be? How will they be celebrating? What special has she done for him? Will they be kissing each other right now? What am I thinking? Like seriously imagining someone's private moments. I felt like puking at my utter nonsense thoughts. This is really getting out of control now. I need to rein up my thoughts. How can I think like that about a girl who is really happy in her relationship and might be getting married to him. This is just my infatuation. Who cannot get attracted towards her pretty and divine face. She is just too pretty to ignore. But I have to shed these thoughts off my head and concentrate on my relationship. With a last warning to myself I slept in a hope that tomorrow morning will be different and those stupid feelings will be out of my system.

Next Morning
I woke up hurriedly as clock struck 8 and I was late again. I drove as fast as I could to get on time as today I have some important scenes to shoot. I reached well before time and breathed a sigh of relief. I got dressed up and was getting ready for my shot. My eyes were searching for someone. I wonder where is she as she has never been late in these 7 months of our shooting. I asked one of her hair dresser of her whereabouts and got to know that she was on a leave today.
Oh how can I forget. Its Rahul's birthday. She will be spending her entire day with him. Doing special things for him and making him feel even more special than he actually is. I mean he is already so lucky and special to have a girl like her in his life. What more he wants?
No I shouldn't be thinking about them. Concentrate on your work Akshat. With little self talking I indulge myself in my work. I shot almost 5 scenes back to back and now I need my cigarette break. I excused myself and went outside to have some fresh air. I should wish him came my inner voice. Yes of course it's his birthday and I should be sensible enough to wish him. With that thought I dialed his number.
Hello Rahul. Happy birthday dude. May you have all the happiness of this world and lots of love and good health.
Hey Mr. Late lateef Patel. You are late in wishing too. But I will convey your message to him once he returns from washroom.
So it's you. Miss Pratiksha Pandit. By the way I'm not late. I was just too busy and that too because of you. You are having a good time with your Rahul and here I am doing your share of work too.
Oh look who's talking? I was doing extra shifts for 4 days when you went on a vacay with your Nisha. And that too without complaining.
Ok you are great. I accept it. So tell me where are you now? Enjoying your day with your special one?
Yes we are having our lunch here at the Taj. We are really enjoying. You know what it's his birthday but I am the one who's getting all the special treatment. He is just so sweet
Hang on. I have not called to listen to your romantic talks and about your sweet bf. You know I hate these over sweet romantic stuff.
Looks like someone is irritated. Oh now my day is complete. I miss seeing your angry young man face. Do one thing take a picture of yourself and send it to me. Let me see how irritated Mr. Patel is.
Such a sadist. By the way your Rahul has gone to washroom or is making one there?
Pathetic joke. Wait he is here. Talk to him.
Hey Akshat! It's me Rahul.
Hey buddy happy birthday. Have a blast. By the way when are you throwing a party?
So ikshu didn't invite you? I mean Pratiksha. I have told her to invite you for the party. It's in the evening at my place. Hope to see you there.
Well your Pratiksha has all the nonsense things to talk about but important ones are out of her list. Of course I will be there. See you in the evening. Bye once again happy birthday.
Thanks dude. Bye.

This girl is amazing. Just by talking to her I feel so relaxed so calm. After driving she is my best stress buster. Without our friendly banter my day seems incomplete. I don't know what future has in store for me but this friendship is very dear and special. I hope this remains there for my entire life. Keeping these thoughts aside I got back to work so that I can leave early for the party. Let's see what evening has in store for me.
