Happy reading!!

******************

"Good morning shippers" I chuckled as I saw gulzi's message in the group. The day starts at least with something good now after being late to the set once again. I could eventually imagine how every pair of eyes would be on me not ogling but glaring for being late again.

But it is not my fault. The late night confession sessions with the whole group demanded extra amount of sleep in the daybreak. And that is the result of being 2 hours late. Not wasting further time I rushed towards the makeup room without meeting any shooting eyes.

Sighing as my hair doer was busy with the gel I sat on my chair with the script that came just now. It was a sofa scene which is to be shot first. Then at night its Neil's b'day shoot. And I have some scenes with the family also. So the schedule is all set. But I felt strange that I have fewer scenes to do today.

After getting set with the final touch I stepped out.

"Zain the set is getting ready! 10 minutes" script director shouted waving at me while I waved back. I thought it would be good if we rehearse the scene in the meantime. And I so badly want to see her too.

"The shoot has yet not started" I wondered as she was sitting without any accessories.

"I just now came after giving my shot. You are late. We did 2 scenes by then" she couldn't even spare a look at me. Busy with her brushes and rollers.

"So you have changed for this scene" I showed the first paper of my script where my role starts.

"Yeah probably the same costume till evening" she raised her chin to apply the foundation and that's when I noticed her. Clad in the yellow top she was looking like a fresh flower. It was simple and neat. "Wait, you are done with family scenes" I asked as I was going through her script. She is done for the day except for our shots.

"Yeah Zain! You should by an alarm clock" she chided as 2 hours is more than enough for small sequences. I thoroughly understood her irritations. I getting late happen so often that it's natural for anyone to get pissed off.

"Or at least someone who might wake me up on time." My gutter mind spoke with no second thought.

"Oh yeah! Ab age bhi aa gaye. Aunty Ji sae mai baat karu, Rishta dundne shuru karne ke liye" phat came her answer which made me startled.

"Oh hello. No need for that, thanks" I responded annoyed now. With no more words I sat on the bed angrily with folded legs while I saw her taking glances at me through the mirror.

"What" I asked while she chuckled at me.

"You are having mood swings" she extended me the chocolate bar as she sat beside me with her script. Ohkay, we are going to rehearse it. Finally doing something related to work.

"Wait, the script is not clear. What does that mean 'to write on avni's skin'?" she referred to the last 3 lines of the page while I also inspected it.

"May be writing on hands" I doubted as I scribbled on her hands while she shrugged off giggling. "Kya kar rahi ho. It's ticklish" she chuckled while I looked at her in astonishment.

"By the way, neil says to guess what he is writing. So it can't be palm" she added the valid point while I figured out the worst that's goanna come. If back of the palm itself is goanna be this tough then I don't even want to imagine where our directors want me to write.

"On her back Zain" yusaf sir spoke and turned to look at the camera startling me on the place. Aditi was standing in the distance practicing her dialogues so casually.

"Ab kya hoga" I mumbled as I went near her.

"Kya hua" she asked noticing me coming back. "Kaha likna hai" she added while I was busy looking at her. Suddenly something striked into me that made me step closer to remove her hair strands gathering it on one side.

"What are you doing" I could feel her voice all conscious. Even I don't know what I am doing. Peeping through her shoulders I looked back only to see it to be a boat neck top.

"Yusuf bhai. Jagah kahan hai likhne ki?" I asked almost shrieking making him turn back. I had no idea how else to react. Soon I saw him coming to us.

"What happened" he asked as we both were standing behind aditi analyzing her neck.

"Yaha pe hai naa" he showed the small open near her shoulders while aditi turned all of the sudden.

"Don't say you are goanna write there" I could see her panic stricken face. Of course she would become a laughing mess and we would take a whole day to shoot this. Now I understood why there were fewer scenes for me today. This is goanna take all goddamn time man.

Having no options I nodded at her question while she frowned nervously.

"I can't do that without laughing." She whispered as yusaf sir went away. "I know that. I will try to write on air." I tried to practice with my own hands of how to write without touching. I could feel her giving an 'are you serious look'. But at least I was trying to do something instead of cribbing.

This was worst than I expected. She was laughing continuously in a single touch on her neck. I sighed as I saw her. One time she got all serious about the scene and other time she was laughing.

"Hasna mat pagli!!!" I said in frustration but she couldn't help either. Lots of cuts and breaks were following with every single word completed and it took us nearly noon for us to finish it.

"And cut it!!!!" I heard the final shriek and by the time she was all pinkish with extra blood pumping on her working cheeks! Oh good! What a ravishing beauty. All I could do was to sigh as I was starring at her.

"Shot ok!" Yusaf sir gave an thumbs up at us and we stood finally.

"That was tough" she sighed as she started to walk parallel to me.

"Toughest"I mumbled as I recalled her beautiful smile and all my ounces to resist it.

"Kya" she asked as if she heard me.

"Lunch" I mentioned. Now it has been an habit to have lunch together.
**************

Even now when I see that scene I wonder how these guys would have managed to do that without laughing. No doubt it would have taken much time for them to have completed that.
