As Ishqi was sitting in her vanity room, waiting for her shot, she heard a knock on the door and the next moment saw Ahaan enter holding two cups of coffee...

Ishqi- tum mere PA kab bangaye? Mujhe toh pata hi nahi tha.

Ahaan- what?

Ishqi- nahi tum mere liye coffee laaye so.

Ahaan- not funny...anyways yelo.

Ishqi- main strangers se kuch nahi leti.

Ahaan- what the fudge!! Main stranger hu, aur kal toh tum mere saath uss couple ko roast kar rahi thi.

Ishqi- ha woh toh main timepass kar rahi thi...

Ahaan- what??

Ishqi- ha main coffee peete peete bore ho rahi thi.

Ahaan- you are unbelievable...

Ishqi- yeah I know, ab aap kripaya bahar jaiye mujhe meri lines revise karni hai.

"And we're back to square one, she's again turned her introvert mode on"

Ishqi- hello!! Kaha kho gaye? Mr. Avm mujhe seriously practice karni hai.

Ahaan quietly left the room while Ishqi was grinning...

*  *  *  *  *

It was now late at night, everyone were exhausted yet had to keep shooting...

Ishqi, really tired, sat wearing her headphones. Trying to relax a bit. Just when she was relaxing and listening to music, someone snacthed headphones from her head and then wore it...

Ishqi folded her arms, giving a death stare to Ahaan. After a few seconds of glaring, Ahaan hummed and removed headphones, handing them to Ishqi...

Ahaan- nice music taste...

Ishqi- I know!!

Said Ishqi as she immediately took her headphones and left. But, before she could leave, Ahaan grabbed her arm and stopped her...

Ahaan- Ishqi kya hua?

Ishqi took a deep breath, gulped her anger and said...

Ishqi- dekha Ahaan I hate it jab koi mere headphones aise nikal leta hai jab main music sunti hu. Now if you'll excuse me.

Ahaan- Ishqi wait...I sorry...Ishqi...

Ahaan kept following her to her room...

Ishqi- kya hai??

Ahaan- Ishqi I'm sorry mujhe nahi pata tha tumhe itna bura lagega. Mujhe bas thoda bura laga jab subah tumne mujhe stranger bulaya...

Ishqi saw guilt on Ahaan's face, even though hating the fact that he snatched her headphones, which for her is very precious, she forgave him...

Ishqi- it's okay, par agar agli baar aisa kiya na toh dekh lena.

Ahaan- OK miss Risky Ishqi...

Ishqi faintly smiled...

Ahaan- Friends??

Ishqi- not so soon Mr. Avm...

Ishqi said entering her room and closing the door...

*  *  *  *  *

Ishqi and Ahaan were waiting for the director Robin to come, chatting frequently...

Finally, Robin entered his cabin and saw confusion on Ishqi and Ahaan's face...

Robin- so wondering why I called you?

Ishqi- yeah...

Ahaan- yes!!

Robin- As per the story, now the leads, Isha and Aditya are heading towards Italy, as their next destination. We won't be returning for a long time, as after Italy, we'll be seeing Paris and Miami. Which means...

Ishqi- we have to start packing...

Robin- exactly.

Ahaan- when is our flight?

Robin- it's tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Be ready with your luggage...

After having this conversation, Ishqi and Ahaan left the office, one smiling and the other frowning...

Ahaan- kya hua? Tum free mein ghumne ke liye excited nahi lag rahi.

Ishqi- I hate traveling in groups.

Ahaan- what!! I love traveling...

Ishqi- cool!!

Ahaan- don't worry main tumhe ghumna sikha dunga.

Ishqi- no thank you...

Ahaan chuckled. Ishqi passed a quick smile and they both left for their respective homes...

*  *  *  *  *

Ishqi was sitting on her bed, in her pajamas, making a list of things she had to pack. Just then, she heard her phone ringing. It was non-other than her siblings, who video called her...

Ishqi- kya hua iss wakt kyu call kiya??

Aisha- dekh rahe ho bhaiya, ab yeh madam itni badi actor bangayi hai ke hamare liye time hi nahi hai...

Ishqi- what rubbish Aishu.

Raj- aur nahi toh kya di, sahi keh rahi hai Aisha. Aap toh call karte nahi ho aur ab hum call kar rahe hai toh puch rahi ho iss wakt kyu call kiya.

Ishqi- ok ok meri class kyu le rahe ho, anyways main kal Italy jaa rahi hu.

Aisha- matlab finally aapko California se nikal hi diya.

Ishqi- Aisha!!

Aisha- woh sab chodo yeh batao aapka co-actor accha dikhta hai? Handsome hai?

Aisha- okay okay itna hyper kyu ho rahe ho, aap batao kyu jaa rahe ho, aapka toh shoot haina?

Ishqi- wahi shooting ke liye hi jaa rahe hai aur uske baad Paris aur Miami jayenge.

Raj & Aisha- ohh hoo, Paris city of love...

Ishqi- shut up!!

Aisha- waise di aapke co-actor ka koi bhai hai kya?

Ishqi- kyu?

Aisha- nahi aap toh aapni setting nahi karoge, main puri zindagi single nahi reh sakti na tih dekhli woh actor hai matlab handsome and all honge, toh unka bhai bhi toh handsome hoga na.

Ishqi- chup hoja samjhi!!

Aisha- bhai mujhe na sach me inke co-actor pe taras aata hai, unhe the most uncoolest co-acotr mili hai.

Raj- I agree

Ishqi- tum dono aapna muh band rakho samjhe warna waha aake marungi...

Aisha- marlo, iss bahane se mil toh sakenge.

Ishqi- Aisha, don't start again. Tujhe pata haina main kyu India nahi aati tu fir bhi meri muh se sunna chahti hai?!?!

Raj- Aisha, tune baat kyu chedi. Kabhi bhi kuch bhi bolti hai.

Aisha- Di...Bhai, I'm sorry. Par mujhe bhi aapki yaad aati haina di, I miss you.

Ishqi- I miss you too, par agar tujhe milna hai toh yaha aana hoga, main waha nahi aa sakti.

Aisha- di I'm sorry...

Ishqi felt tears emerging from her eyes and quickly knew she can't show her vulnerable side to her siblings...

Ishqi- it's okay, mujhe kaam hai. Byee...

Ishqi, as quickly as possible, ended the call...

"Nahi Ishqi jo hua woh tera past tha, abhi tere aage tera future hai, tu uspe focus kar..."

Before her tears escaped she wiped them and started packing...

*  *  *  *  *

Everyone were waiting for Ahaan outside airport while Ahaan being Ahaan was late...

He finally reached, 15 minutes late, said sorry to everyone. Ishqi was mad but let it slip. After almost 12 long hours of traveling, they were finally in Italy in evening. Being really tired, everyone went directly to their resort, checked in and had some rest...
