Shraddha's POV

"Nikita, I need to meet her it's important. I want her number or address or even an appointment is fine, as long as I get to see her". I said talking to my manager/ friend, if I wanted this plan to work I had to get in touch with Natasha as soon as possible. I thought I had her number, we even called each other from time to time for 2 years after graduation, then we all got busy. I had to concentrate on getting into the industry while she had her own dreams that she wanted to fulfill. "Alright call me back ASAP, thanks".

I went to the kitchen to make coffee. As I entered the kitchen my phone rang. 'I Swear to God it always rings at the wrong time'. Walking towards it I picked it up.

Shraddha (S)-"Hello"?

Alia (A)- Shraddha, it's me Alia.

(S)- Hi aloo wassup? Everything good?

(A)- Nothing is good, everything is ruined. Have you watched the news? It's all over media shradz. It's over. They are matching the girls appearance with mine. If they find out it's me it's gonna be so scandalous, it might even block our pathways to entering this industry. I just don't get one thing, what the fvck is wrong with Varun? He is your best friend right? Why did he do that? Does he think it's funny cuz it's really not! I am dying over here shradz, do something please!

(S)- Aloo take a deep breath and listen to me. I watched the news, I know it was really stupid of Varun to do something like this but I think he was under the influence of Alcohol. Don't worry too much I have a plan in mind. I'll get this sorted. Just stay calm.

(A)- And how are you going to do that? Shraddha you have a movie releasing next month. You don't have enough time to deal with our shit. Where is Varun tell him to do something! He started this and he should be the one ending it.

(S)- Alia, just like you, he is stressed too. He just went home, we'll let him rest and I'll fix this. Just calm down Okay?

(A)- Okay, but how?

(S)- I have been in this industry for the past three years, I have my ways and resources. Don't worry. You'll find out about it as soon as it's done. I'll talk to you later, take care.

I seriously needed to do something, this is something that could ruin their careers and I am not letting that happen. With that I picked up my phone.

"Hello this is Shraddha Kapoor could I please talk to your company's broadcasting head? It's an emergency. Hello Mr. Mehrotra, I hope I am not disturbing you in anything urgent. I need just a little bit of your precious time, I hope you don't mind. All I have to say is that, I believe you have something you want to release and I believe it has something to do with the last night's party. Wanna share"? I talked in a calm and collected manner to the news agency's broadcasting head. "You know what you have and so do I. You know what you actually want and so do I. So how about we make a quick deal and get this over and done with. You wouldn't want to waste anyone's precious time now would you?"

With that, every single news and broadcasting agency was dancing on the tips of my fingers. Someone has said something so right, 'Hard work is money, money is power and power can make anything bow down'. I wasn't like this when I first joined this industry, I used to be a fragile and innocent girl who just happened to be a daughter of a veteran actor. This industry teaches you how the world actually works and let me tell you one thing, it definitely doesn't work with the help of innocence. Oh no no no, innocence needs to be left outside the main entrance, before entering Bollywood. Instead take in a strong heart, mind and determination.

If you wanna stay here you need to have a key, a key to every single person around you, so that you can work them accordingly. It took me a a very long time to find this key and now that I have it, I am not letting it slip out of my hand that easily.

I knew that the news of Varun and Alia was out, the blurred picture of them both kissing was now covering the headlines and front-page of every bollywood news/ newspaper. I couldn't change that, but what I could do was change tonight's headlines with another blurred but edited picture. This would take out any chances of people thinking that the girl in the picture is Alia. That's exactly what I did and all that's left to do is to have the final showdown at evening. This is the least I could do for my friends.

You must be thinking, even if Alia's picture was edited and blurred, Varun still seems to be in trouble. As Alia or not Varun was still caught in an intimate act last night, and that's the bottom line.

Well, that's what he gets for being stupid. The damage he has caused for himself cannot be prevented, but it can be forgotten in the near future and that's where Natasha comes into the picture.

As I was thinking about all the chaos that has happened in the past 24 hours, I got a message. It was from Nikita.

"Hi Shradz, I have talked to Natasha's secretary. She has asked Natasha and Natasha is excited to meet you. I have fixed an appointment at 16:00. Let me know if you need anything else done.😇"

'yaaaaaassss thank God now all I need to do is to convince her and then the plan begins' , I thought but little did I know it was not going to be that easy.

I need to tell this to Varun, I feel like his manager, fixing everything for him. But a friend in need is a friend indeed. With that I called Varun.

Varun's POV
(The Dhawan household)

She is going to meet her today. When she meets her, she is going to tell her to be my fake girlfriend and then she is going to be laughed at. Natasha will never agree and TBH, I don't want her to agree. Why? You may ask? It's because she and I have had a few problems here and there. It all started with that first fvcking meeting. WHAT WAS I EVEN THINKING.

I am so stupid, dad is right in calling me Pappu. Don't even think about me telling you about that first meeting. That's never happening! It's a grave secret. If it gets out I am going to be laughed at. Hell to the NO that's not happening. I need to stop shraddha, Natasha cannot come back in our lives.

She just can't, I won't let that happen....

Hello all my beautiful people. I am back with another update, hope y'all enjoyed it.

This is a Varshra story, but I'm trying to make it seem real and a real life a love story is never too easy. It has its ups and downs. Therefore I am planning on making little twists and turns in their lives. This story is going to be a slow-burn. You guys are going to get hurt and then heal back again and then again get hurt. I am sorry for that. But that's what's gonna make this story seem real.

I have tried to make Shraddha a bit more powerful and a boss bitch in this story than she is in real life.
