sahidvn there you go dear😘

Alia's P.O.V
"Rise and shine sunshine!" Shaheen said. She opened the curtains and the bright light rays entered my room.

"Ugh, Shaheen! Let me sleep please..." I whined. I turned around and pulled the blankets over my head.

"Alia come on. Get up! It's already 7!" Shaheen said.

I groaned. Why can't she just leave me alone? It's Saturday! I'm supposed to get my sleep after all the hard work I've done.

"Shaheen! Please just go away! And close the door!" I said while being extremely annoyed.

She sat down next to me and pulled the covers over my head. I groaned at the sight of sunlight and turned away from the bright rays.

"Alia! It's Saturday! Get up quickly!" she said while trying to push me out of bed

"Exactly. It's Saturday so let me sleep..." I said. I started to get annoyed. What could possibly be more important than my precious sleep?!

"Alia, you're supposed to-"

"Omg Shaheen! What is the time?!" I asked while I ran out of bed, on my way to the bathroom and nearly tripped.

"It's 7 o'clock. Hurry up if you want to make it." she said to me

I grabbed my toothbrush and the toothpaste, and quickly put some on the tool. I brushed my teeth while I took a look at myself in the mirror.

"Ugh! Why didn't you wake me up earlier! Now I've gotta skip part of my routine!" I said with a mouth full of toothpaste.

"That's disgusting Alia. Don't talk with your mouth full. We'll talk later. And by the way, I wasn't awake yet." She walked away, leaving me alone in the bathroom.

Luckily I had no new pimples, red spots or other unwanted things.

The secret of drinking water!

Okay, now I sound like an ad..

Well, anyways I better should hurry....

I ran to my closet, picking out my carefully chosen outfit, which I selected the evening before, and I rapidly changed my clothes. I did my hair and makeup and ate some breakfast. Well, if you can call an egg, tomato and toast breakfast, at least.

I shouted a loud "BYE!", to Shaheen before I stepped into my car. My driver took me to the Dharma office. I was going to meet my new director today and I was really excited to meet him.

"We've arrived." my driver told me.
I nodded and stepped out of the car, inhaling a fresh breath of air. The air always seems cleaner here, less polluted unlike the rest of India.

I told my driver that he could take the rest of the day off since this could take a while and I didn't want to keep him waiting. I also didn't have any other plans for today.

"Are you sure Ms. Bhatt?" he asked me. "I could wait if you want me to?"

I smiled. "It's okay dear. Go and have some fun."

He nodded and drove away with a smile on his face.

As soon as he drove away, the media appeared. They asked for a few photos and I posed for a while.

When I was satisfied with the amount of pictures taken, I turned around and walked through the big doors of the Dharma office.

The smell was welcoming and it smelled as something I can only describe as the Dharma office. I walked through the all too familiar building and made my way to the office which used to belong to Karan.

Karan..

After the industry found out that he was doing a business wedding they were shocked. Not because of the business wedding, but because it was Karan Johar doing it. Karan Johar, who always loved romantic films and supported true love, had forced people into a marriage. No one wanted to work with him again. Karan resigned, almost fell into depression and rumour says that he's doing something else now. Nobody knows what it is, unfortunately, because we all stopped talking to him.

I checked my phone. 08.27, it showed. I was way too early. I unlocked my phone and called Parineeti. She tried to get a hold of me last night, but I couldn't answer back then. I had some time to kill I guess.

Arjun's P.O.V
I woke up with a smile on my face. Last night I had spent some great time with Parineeti. I absolutely adored and loved her. She's just so cute and sweet!

I jumped out of bed and did my usual routine. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

As I peeked through the curtains, I saw Shraddha standing on my doorstep. She waved at me. I quickly went to the front door and opened it.

"Good morning Shraddha! What's up?" I asked her.

She let herself in and I took her coat and hung it on the hook. As she walked to the living room, she spoke.

"Hi Arjun. Nothing, the usual. I felt kinda bored so I decided to pay you a visit.", she revealed

"Me? I know I am great. Thanks for stopping by. Breakfast?", I offered.

"No thanks, I've had my breakfast already."

"Oh come on! Just a little bit! It won't be nice eating alone, now that you're here.", I said.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable if I am the only one eating? It can't be right?

"Fine, I'll join you.", she sighed. I smiled and I rushed to the kitchen to get another plate. Shraddha grabbed some bread and cheese and started making her breakfast. She yawned and stretched her arms.

"So.." I began. "What's the reason for stopping by the great Arjun Kapoor's house?" I asked.

Shraddha rolled her eyes and hit me very hard. I smirked. I know that people don't like it when I'm being narcissistic so I am narcissistic. It gets such a funny reaction out of them.

Take Shraddha for instance. She usually isn't very violent but she hits me because she absolutely hates it when I act narcissistic.

"Okay.. I gotta be honest with you. I kinda feel empty, bored and alone since we don't live in the same house anymore. I miss the feeling of having to scream at everyone in order to get them downstairs for breakfast. I miss getting angry because I can't find my shoes since one of you guys had hidden it somewhere. And I just miss all of you. The nights were full of laughter and happiness and I just miss that you know? Because now I am just sitting here, all alone in my house with nothing to do." she revealed while eating.

"Don't you have shoots or so?", I asked.

"Dude, I just told you all of that and the only thing you noticed is that I'm alone in my house and having nothing to do?" She rolled her eyes.

"Not like that.. I listened", I said while putting a piece of bread in my mouth. "It's just that.. you know.. actors and all.. shoots?!"

"No, I don't have shoots now. Filming starts in two weeks due to the weather. It's too hot to work right now and our film needs a chill atmosphere. Plus, the director doesn't want to use special effects because he think it'll ruin the film.", Shraddha said.

"So, you're trying to get the crew back together? I'm in. I loved our time in the mansion. It's where I fell in love with-"

"Parineeti. I know. When are you gonna confess to her?" Shraddha asked me. She had been our first shipper and as she called it "was waiting for her ship to sail".

I didn't want to confess to her. Now that we've finally got our friendship back I don't want to ruin it by confessing. What if she doesn't feel the same way? Then I will lose her.

"Shrads.. what if Parineeti doesn't feel the same way? Then I will lose her...", I said with a sad smile.

"I'm sure she feels the same way. Haven't you seen her looking at you?", she said.

I shook my head in the negative. "I haven't. She is just doing what she used to. I'm the one who's behaving weird."

"That's not true! Don't you remember when she "accidentally tripped" and you caught her? She tripped because she was looking at you!" Shraddha said.

"Whatever. Just eat your food.", I said.

I wasn't ready to share all of my thoughts with Shraddha. I mean, it's Parineeti! I'm deeply in love with her but I can't tell it. She isn't in love with me, for sure, and I'll just look like a fool. And I can't do that to myself. I can't allow myself to risk losing her.

After some more time and conversation about our lives, Shraddha decided that we should get the crew back together and that we would live inside a house once again.

I personally loved the idea. It was where I first fell in love with Parineeti. Hopefully, I could discover her feelings before I confessed to her. I really didn't want to lose her. She was all that I had.

First chapter of the sequel! I'm back people🙂

Also, the crew is getting back together! Isn't that amazing?😍

What did you think of Arjun and Shraddha?

Will Arjun finally confess his love to Parineeti?

Please leave a vote and share your thoughts!

Love you all so much💕
