Honestly this isn't a great update and an year to begin with! I lost my most precious fanpage on Instagram (ughhhh that stupid app) - ranbiraliafc !!! Yeah some trashy haters and ofc dearest Instagram deleted my freakin page of two years and 10,000 beautiful babies!

THINGS WENT DOWNHILL FOR REAL !

It happened on the 5th of Feb and my friend created ranbiraliafc2.0 to get me back on my feet and to maintain my precious contacts with a lot of amazing people I've met through the page. If your one of them who're still thinking where the heck my page vanished into, hey, go and follow my new page! Tbh, I've made my plans clear. Will be active by Brahmastra phase and the page would go inactive thereafter (long story!)

But I really would appreciate if I could stay in touch with all of you *cries* I'm not sure how till how long can I preserve my passion for this book now that I feel quite empty with the whole incident and maybe a bit lost ?! Got some real down-standard throws at me and ykw, I just cannot TOLERATE UNWANTED BULLSHIT ! I have respect and will continue to live with one so yeah I've decided to focus and make my life worth living than being trampled by social media power. 

Ik this isn't fair to a lot of you who really love my work and my page but it had to come to an end, some day and unfortunately that day came quick! So this book will stay here and you can always contact me here or on my Twitter page :)

[Ranbir's POV]

Monkeying around with ropes on the set of Brahmastra, the cast generated an energy similar to that of a zoo. For the past two weeks we've been doing consecutive stunt scenes. A major chunk of the film's action are to be shot here and as per our team's coordination, we had it smoothly rolling. Brahmastra is a film loaded with VFX and not just any cheap trick but the real mean Hollywood game level!

Ayan had pulled out all the cards he knew to get the best of every world putting together a vision he so dearly nurtured for years. 

Since morning we've been doing the rope play so much that I might create a similar environment back in my home. It's so much fun! No wonder Tarzan was such a swag lass! He got to swing higher and higher without any care. The green set added to my wild life fantasies. As I swung from one rope to the next, a sharp cry reached me and my heart jolted at recognation. Jumping down to the floor I ran along with basically everyone present.

"Move back ! Dalal, call the doctor now! Ritu, bring an ice pack quickly." 

Ayan kept shouting orders to the team while I made my way inside the swarm of people crowded in to see the commotion. There in the middle my eyes laid on a sight I wished I hadn't seen. My love balled up like a shell, eyes tightly closed, tears springing, wincing in pain! Shit! "Aaaahh" she wailed holding her arm in a death grip.

"Aliaaa, oh my god...how.. how did this happen? How did she slipped ? huh, dammit tell me ! Speak someone." My head throbbed with millions of questions and I couldn't help but bark the anger coursing up my veins. 

I looked at Ayan only to find him opening and closing his mouth like a fish, looking as distressed as I. "What ? Bolegaaa ?!" I stressed while gently laying her head on my shoulder and carefully holding her almost broken arm. "Bro she was practicing the rope stunt and accidently lost her grip and fell down with her arm first on the ground. We guess its fractured" answered Rohit, a fellow AD on the film.

I closed my eyes in despair, mentally calming myself by counting till ten. This wasn't how he had wanted their evening to be! He had a rather exotic plan for her but now it's almost good as dead. 

Her nails dug into my skin and I could see her going breathless already with pain. Few girls rushed to rub her back while those who went to fetch the ice pack came running back. "Baby hold on, we're taking you to a hospital, okay ? You'll be fine before you know." My words didn't came out like the way I wanted. It sounded more like I was solacing myself than her. With the support of mouni and few friends, I lifted her in my arms as they held hers in support so as to not cause more damage.

I felt a hand press over my shoulder and behold it was Ayan, the last person I needed to see. 

"We have called a-"

"I DO NOT NEED YOUR ADVICE ! YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO PROTECT SO LET ME HANDLE THIS" 

I wasn't supposed to shout at him but anger flared through my system and before I knew it I had lashed on my best friend! He was there with her when she was doing that weirdo stunt and he very well knows how clumsy and accident phobic she is! He could have made her go gentle with the entire action thing. She's a thorough professional and would go to any extent for perfecting her role but he should have known this would cost her an injury, as usual! 

I saw his face fall as I carried Alia in my arms, rushing towards the ambulance that had arrived just in time. My heart twisted to see both the people I dearly love, in pain. Okay I might have overreacted but he should have seen this coming. I just was not in a mood to do calm talks. The moment I saw her writhing in pain, sensibility jumped out of the window.

All I could see was her.

Fracture 

And for her to break her arm in this cruel cold weather would be unbearable! 

Massaging my temples, I sat in the doctor's cabin, eyeing the cup of coffee kindly offered to me. Quite a dramatic Valentine's Day ! My week long plans of making our first V Day extra special, went down the drain. Now I'm left with a fractured girlfriend shooting daggers at me from her bed.

This has to be the worst day of our life. But seriously, why us ?! Those crappy Indian daily soap couples enjoy a better love day than most of us! 

Alia laid in bed turning her face away from me with a disappointed huff.

Maine kya kiya ? 

I made my way next to her spacious bed where she had her plastered right hand hung in display. My palm gently caressed her plastered hand almost afraid to cause her any more pain. I didn't have to raise my head to see her eyes boring at me. Her breath came softer as I checked her injury with a precision of handling glass. "Why ?" my head lifted at her whisper. "Pardon ?"

What was she implying at ?

"Why did you lash at Ayan like that ? In front of his entire cast and crew ! That was so not done Ranbir!" her eyes blazed like coal and I knew I had made a terrible mistake. My shoulders hunched and I sat like a corpse.

"Look I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have exploded on him like that but you know why I did it Alia. You were hurt, so much in pain and we both know how clumsy you are, so injuries are your normal. But Ayan should have been careful with the process and I'm sure he could have done so much better to avoid that fall! I was hurt and seeing you in pain didn't helped much either." 

A second later her delicate palm touched my chin, forcing me look at her. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"Hey, it's okay haan ? I'm sorry if I hurt you even more. You and Ayan mean so much to me than you'll know and I want to be the last human to come between that precious friendship of years. You reacted in a way that wasn't justified because it's clearly mine and that stupid rope's fault! Poor he was more scared than you were. I saw him heartbroken, honey. We are his responsibility till the time we complete the shoot so he's gonna feel 100 times guiltier. You made it harder for him. Blame me for being accident prone but please not him. I can't bare to see both of you in pain." 

Her voice quivered and that's what it took for me to cautiously scoop her in my arms. 

We sat there for a while basking in the warmth of our embrace, the love radiating from us. After some more minutes she pulled back to wipe her tears. I settled her messy hair while she blushed like a beetroot. "What happened to your cheeks, Miss Bhatt ?" She giggled softly making my heart flutter as always. "An unusual V day for both of us. A tale to tell our fans" I laughed along with her.

"And to our children" a wink got me a smack from her healthy arm. 

Roaming my gaze over her injured hand I smiled deceptively. "So you've got me a proper notepad to write down my love quotes ?" That got me a roll of eyes. "Yeah yeah everyone's excited about that. Even the squad. They been fighting over who'll write what on my plaster." That made me laugh out loud. 'Don't blame them, it is a fancy ritual." She nodded her head. "You know I think you should let Ayan in and maybe apologize ...." 

"That can happen all day long. Maybe we should try making this moment romantically in favour to the day, what say ?"

Pushing back her beautiful tendril shadowing her perfect face, I stared at my valentine. She surely was engraving herself in the deepest pit of my soul. There hasn't been a day when I'm not  caught smiling to myself, listening to love melodies, or just being so much happy.

 हँसता रहता हूँ तुझसे मिलकर क्यूँ आजकल 

बदले-बदले हैं मेरे तेवर क्यूँ आजकल

आँखें मेरी हर जगह ढूंढें तुझे बेवजह

ये मैं हूँ या कोई और है मेरी तरह

कैसे हुआ? कैसे हुआ?
तू इतना ज़रूरी कैसे हुआ?
कैसे हुआ? कैसे हुआ?
तू इतना ज़रूरी कैसे हुआ?
