Kab tak : An Ashdeep TS

Yaadein

Hi everyone
I wanted to write an Ashdeep OS but like always, lost control of my words... and now it's a TS
This is part 1...and it's really a long one
So please, bear with me

Randeep was pacing in his room. He was restless was an understatement. He was a nervous wreck. Last few months had not been easy for him. The pressure of appearing normal and happy, fulfilling all commitments, meeting family and friends, attending the needed social events... everything just added to his tension. How he wished the show had not ended so soon. He was not ready yet... neither to leave the show... nor to leave her.

The thought filled him with more pain.

ASHI...

This one name had been tormenting him for so long. It was bearable when they were shooting together everyday. He could see her, touch her, hear her laughter... and the role of a married couple gave him ample chances to lose himself in her deep, dove shaped eyes.

A blush crept up on his face as he recalled the instances when he forgot that they were shooting... and behaved as if the two of them were alone.

At the time of shooting of Tohfa song, he had slipped so many times... it was the first time he was holding her this close, and she was looking ravishing in that orange outfit. When she had touched his forehead filling up the parting of her hair with it... he just couldn't control, letting his emotions slip out. Later, when everyone started to tease him, he had laughed it off. But the feeling had left him shaken.

Once, he had even called out her actual name during a show sequence... and somehow it had missed the eyes of editing team as well. But fans had caught it instantly, filling up all SM sites with the clip.

"Oh Ashi, tumne pagal bana diya hai mujhe." He held his head in his hands, slumping on the chair in his living room.

"Yaar tu baat kyon nahi kar leta... zyada se zyada kya hoga... na bol degi... par yeh tension jo paal ke baitha hai yeh toh khatam hogi na." Zain had suggested when he was with his friends a few days back.

"Yehi toh darr hai yaar... jab tak baat nahi hogi tab tak hope hai... lekin maine pucha aur usne naa bol diya toh?" Randeep was in a dilemma.

"Agar usne na bol diya toh aaram se Devdas banke baithne ka, simple." Abhilash had shrugged, earning an angry glare from Zain and a flying cushion from Randeep.

Letting out a deep breath, he looked around. This flat in a high rise was a big achievement for him. When he had thrown housewarming party, which happened to be the celebration for show's 350 episodes as well, he had mentioned in the interview that he wanted to get married during the show. He was sure there was plenty of time. He would be able to find out if Ashi had some feelings for him... if she would consider making her reel hero her real hero. That day was unforgettable. He had himself shown her around. She was excited and cheerful, praising his taste and choice.

He wanted to tell her there and then... that the most exquisite choice he had made was right in front of his eyes... but the crowd around them had stopped him. He wanted the moment of his confession to be their own, private one.

"Jab 500 episodes ki party karenge, usse pehle din bol dunga... usse keh dunga ki agar haan hai toh party mein pink pehen ke aana." He had promised himself.

Pink was not only his online character's choice for his wife, it was the colour he loved on Ashi...

"Tum hamesha black kyon pehenti ho?" He had asked once.

"Tum bhi toh pehente ho... kyon?" She answered his question with a question... a typical habit of hers.

"Ashi, ab main orange ya green color ka blazer pehen ke toh nahi aa sakta na." He had offered what he thought was a fair reason.
