I stared at the phone, looking at the face I knew better than my own. I saw the smile on her face and I felt tears build in my eyes. It wasn't real. Her smile wasn't real.

'Sid, it's 2 in the morning! Why the hell are you calling me?' ... 'It's Alia.' ... My heart stopped beating and I shot up so fast I almost fell out of bed. 'I'm on my way.'

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania a modern twist on the filmi love story... wait, rewind a second. Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania? No, no, no. This story isn't about Humpty and Kavya. This one is about Varun and Alia. There's no other dulha or fist fights, but there is confusion and jealousy. And what's this about another dulhania? Cover made by @Tanvi_VaruNyiesha She's absolutely amazing at making covers by the way.

It's Alia's 25th birthday. She's not filming or doing promotions. For the first time in ages, she gets to chill on her birthday. She gets to go out with her friends and have fun. The only problem is that the one person she wants to see isn't going to be there.

What happens when Varun does something that gets Alia very angry at him? They stop talking and Varun wants to apologise but he's not sure how. He knows he's screwed up big this time. He said things he shouldn't have and he may have just lost his best friend. That doesn't mean he isn't going to try.

AU All the gen next stars that come from filmi families or have family in the industry seem to know each other from before... except Varun and Alia. Fantastic cover made by @Tanvi_VaruNyiesha

Decided to just make a book for all my Varia one shots because I'm not sure how many I'm going to write. Wonderfully beautiful cover made by @PerfectlyLostMendes_
