When A Fan met Her star [ Editing ]

Chapter 51 : From Heart to Heart

A week passed by. Jai continued his indoor shooting in the city. He didn't try to talk to srishti even though he badly wanted to. His schedule was so tightly packed that he didn't have time for anything. Pallavi also got busy with her film. She was happy living with jais family. Where everyone treated her like their own.

Srishti is the one who started having sleepless nights. She haven't talked to Jai for so long. How much ever she tried to do so. She never had the courage. Besides Jai was busy with his shoots , she didn't wanted to disturb him in anyway. And she always had a sinking feeling in her stomach whenver she saw Jai and Pallavi together. She couldn't figure it out what's going wrong with her.

It was a Saturday and both Jai and Pallavi had their day off. They spent their entire day , talking about the movies. Discussing scripts together. Pallavi was always impressed by the way Jai handled everything. He was a wonderful actor and he knew cinema. She wanted to learn more from him. And he was glad to be her help.

Srishti. On the other side. Tried to talk to Jai in more than one occasion. But she couldn't do so.

By eight in the evening, Srishti walked out of the kids' room since they had fallen asleep early. She made her way towards her room and couldn't help but wonder. What Jai might be doing at that moment. As she entered the room, she was surprised to see Jai and Pallavi sitting together on the couch. They appeared to be engrossed in something on Jai's laptop. With Pallavi's hand resting comfortably on his shoulder. They sat in close proximity to each other, and Jai's eyes were fixed intently on the laptop screen. After a while, they engaged in a conversation. And bursted out laughing. At one point. Pallavi leaned towards Jai while laughing and rested her head on his shoulder.

Srishti kept looking at them. Uneasily. The way Pallavi's hand rested on Jai's shoulder. The way they leaned in close to each other. All of it seemed to suggest a level of intimacy that made Srishti's heart skip a beat. She didn't knew if she was jealous. But she was scared to loose Jai. She knew that much.

Srishti felt a lump forming in her throat. She gently tapped the door and the duo looked up

"Hey Srishti. Why are you knocking? Come inside" pallavi said.

Srishti walked inside the room. She felt jais stare on her.

"You know what, Srishti? Karthik, our childhood friend, is getting married. We were just checking the emails and we've received his invitation!"pallavi exclaimed happily.

"Oh..thats great"Srishti forced a smile. Trying to hide her unease. While Jai's gaze lingered on her. As if sensing her discomfort.

"Jai now please don't give excuses. You have to push your dates and take a day off. It's karthik for godsake"pallavi huffed.

"Stop being a drama queen PP. Let me see what I can do"jai said.

Pallavi smiled and stood up. She didn't wanted to stay in the room any longer. As srishti had come. She knew jais and srishtis marriage happened. Out of misunderstandings. But she also could see the way they both were trying. To talk to each other. She definitely knew that both Srishti and Jai. Meant much more to each other. But they just never realized.

"Anyway....I have a few phone calls to make. I'll leave now. Good night jai"pallavi said.

"Good night pallavi"he got up and gave her a side hug. She hugged him back.
