It was a bright morning. Sunrays fell through the window and on her face. As the sunrays touched her face she turned to other side and tucked her face under the blanket squeezing her eyes. Her alarm clock started ringing and she managed to snooze it for the third time still being under the blanket. After almost 15 minutes the alarm clock again started ringing. The girl blurted out "Ugh..." as she turned to the side of the sidetable and took the alarm clock in her hands. Still being half asleep she managed to open her eyes. It was almost 9'oclock. She quickly got up and went straight to the bathroom not being able to digest the fact that she might get late for her mock shoot...

"Ishqi agar aaj tu late hogayi na toh tujhe yeh role milne se raha..." 

Ishqi quickly said to herself as she sat on the dressing table trying to comb her untidy hair. She somehow managed to tie a ponytail. She went downstairs, quickly grabbed a glass of juice and drank it in one go. She quickly grabbed her bag, threw her stuff in it, grabbed her car keys and left. As she was racing towards the studio her phone started ringing. Not paying any heed to the caller id, Ishqi received the call while her phone was connected to music system of car via bluetooth...

Ishqi- hello, who's this?

"Pehechan kon?"

Said the person on the other side of the phone call...

Ishqi- Aishu teri iss faltu timepass ke liye mere paas time nahi hai...

Aisha- ohh hello madam main timepass nahi kar rahi hu samjhi aap, main bhi bohot busy hu maine bas aapko yeh yaad dilane ke liye call kiye ke ready hojao aapka mock shoot hai aaj.

Ishqi- ohh ha tu na hoti toh main kya hi karleti right?

Aisha- exactly...

Ishqi- shut up, main already nikal chuki hu bas paach (5) minute mein pohoch jaungi.

Aisha- yaar di maine aapne busy schedule se time nikalke aapko call kiya yaad dilane ke liye aur aap already nikal gayi.

Ishqi- aapka drama hogaya ho toh main rakhu?

Aisha- yeah yeah all the best di!!

Ishqi smiled and declined the call. After driving for almost 5 minutes she finally parked her car in front of the studio, grabbed her purse, shoved her phone in her bag and immediately advanced towards the studio...

As Ishqi entered the studio her phone started ringing again. Ishqi started searching for her phone but was unable to find it. As she was looking downwards trying to reach out to her phone she collieded into someone...

"Ohh God, what the fudge!!"

Ishqi heard as she looked up. She saw a guy of her age. Ishqi ignored him and started searching for phone while the guy started speaking...

Guy- hii I'm Ahaan, Ahaan Veer Malhotra.

Ishqi didn't react just kept searching...

Ahaan- aapka naam?

Ishqi quickly blurted out her name while searching for her phone and thought...

"Aree yaar mujhe script bhi padhni hai, script mere phone mein hai. Iss  Aisha ki bacchi ki wajahse mujhe phone bag se nikalana pada and now I can't find it..."   

Ahaan- umm Ms. Ishu, tum aapni script dhund rahi ho kya?

Ishqi looked at him with astonishment as if he'd just read her mind...

Ishqi- uhh yess...

Ahaan- mere paas extra copy hai you can borrow it.

Ahaan said as he took a bunch of papers stapled together from his back pocket and handed it to her. Ishqi quickly thanked him as she took the papers and went from their. Ahaan was just looking her go, when Ishqi turned and said...

Ishqi- by the way Mr. Avm it's Ishqi not Ishu...

Ishqi was going towards the direction where the green rooms were situated. As she slowly faded from Ahaan's vision, he still kept looking at her with an awe...

"Iss ladki mein kuch toh baat hai..."

Ahaan thought as he too went to rehearse his lines...

After almost 5 minutes of rehearsing lines in green room, one of the crew member came to call both Ishqi and Ahaan...

As Ishqi and Ahaan came near the set, the lights flashed brighter than ever making their eyes squeeze. As both came in front of the camera, they got an idea that the other might be thier co-actor...

Ishqi and Ahaan quickly passed a smile to each other and noticed that the other looked equally nervous. They started their act when they heard the director say "Action!!"...

The mock shoot went amazing. Director was really impressed by thier acting skills, that too because both were soo young yet talented...

"So guys we will let you know about the results of this mock shoot. Right now it's a pack-up"

Said their director Robin as everyone started packing their things. Ishqi took her bag and started going towards her car when out of the blue Ahaan came in her way and stopped her...

Ahaan- heyy...hii Ishqi, right?

Ishqi- yeah

Ishqi said as she again started walking...

Ahaan- wait a minute.

Ishqi turned looking a bit irritated. She gave a "What??" look to Ahaan as he continued speaking...

Ahaan- tumhara pehela audition hai?

Ishqi- ha...

Ahaan- mera bhi.

Ishqi- great ab main jao?

Ahaan- I mean I guess...

Without waiting for Ahaan to utter any other word, Ishqi opened the car door and sat inside. She was about to close the door when she heard Ahaan say "All the best..."

Ishqi shouted "Same to you" as she drove off...

"Ajeeb hai par cute hai..." 

Ahaan said to himself as he smiled. He too took out his car keys and left...

*  *  *  *  *

The next week was just filled with nervousness. Both were just eagerly waiting to receive the call from director's assistant. They felt like it was the longest week of their life...

Ishqi was just sitting in her living through scrolling through her laptop, looking if there are any auditions while sipping some cold coffee when she got an email. As Ishqi was done reading it she almost jumped out of excitement...

"Yess...yess...yess!! Main audition mein pass hogayi. Mujhe show milgaya." Ishqi started jumping and screaming with excitement and quickly dialed a number...

Ishqi- hello Aishu!!

Aisha- ha di bolo...

Ishqi- Aisha mujhe role milgaya.

Aisha- really di!! That's amazing, main L.A aa rahi hu mujhe aapse Party chahiye.

Ishqi- shut up, Raj kaha hai?

Aisha- ha ha de rahi hu aapke pyaare bhai ko phone, kabhi behen se baat mat karna...

Raj- hello di, aapne na best news di hai, congratulations!!

Ishqi- thank you Raj. Accha ab mujhe mere director ke office jana hai, main rakhti hu byee... tu unhe bhi bata dena.

Ishqi said and then hanged the call being a little upset...

Meanwhile Ahaan too received the same email and had the exact same reaction. Right now he was talking to Kartik and Sonu, who were arguing as usual.

Ahaan- guys shut up! Maine kuch baat karne ke liye call kiya aur tum dono hamesha ki tarah shuru hogaye.

Kartik- okay bhai aap bolo kya baat karni hai?

Ahaan- mujhe role milgaya.

Sonu- Really!! Oh my god bhai that's great...

Kartik- congratulations bhai, Party toh banti hai!

Ahaan- ha dunga party par jab mera yeh show hit hoga tab.

Kartik- wow bhai kitni durr ki soch hai.

Ahaan- chup hoja, ab mujhe director se milne jana hai baadme baat karte hai, byee...

Ahaan grabbed his car keys and then left for director's office...
