Hello everyone.I'm back again to irritate you all with my not so good stories on rrahel.

Firstly happy belated friendship day to all of you, to those who are here to read & write .hope you had a great time with friends & in case you don't have friends i hope you get atleast one for yourself who stay by your side in all situations,stay loyal ,caring & loving to you.

Well when I was unwell recently a reader friend presented me a request to write on the instance when rrahul got covid & his birthday arrived which was made special by helly.so I'm just trying to fulfill the promise that i made that i will write on this one.hope i can do justice to it.

Shooting during covid has indeed became a great challenge for everyone ,including even the writers too as they have to make so much modifications in the story to portray any romantic moment that too without getting the actors being physically close,taken up as precautionary measure of social distancing but at some point it becomes too natural to let this things come so that audience too feel connected with the story & the moments Developing in between the leads on-screen.

The same has been an issue with the team of IMMJ2 as they have reached such a crucial point in story where things will start to shape for future of story & will require atleast small moments of physical intimacy i.e. hugs ,forehead kisses between the leads .while when this is informed to the lead actors rrahul & helly they didn't gave any second thought to this as they were so comfortable with each other & well acquainted with the fact that both follow proper precautions

Owing to this they agreed to perform scenes depicting physical intimacy which will be the foundation stone in the brewing romance of their character vansh & riddhima unknown to the fact that it will lead to the foundation of a bond between them too off screen which will be nameless,pure but will be special & unique in every way

They shared their first hug on screen ,when helly as riddhima was coming back all tired & hurt after the coal room incident,the way rrahul runned towards helly was something which even made the director noel sir too go awwe of them.the way she perfectly fitted in his arms hiding her face in his chest was something beautiful as looking at full moon with all rain in the sky

By the time that entire scene got over,rrahul started to feel little unwell ,assuming it to be due to the hectic schedule & tiredness he let this matter go off easily

But even after a day that constant feeling of bring feverish

Didn't fade away,he was constantly feeling cold,sore throat which he didn't considered that much grave & continue to shoot ,even he told helly that he isn't feeling well since past 2 days on which she too reasoned as fatigue & change in weather which someehow brought him some reflief but at some part of his mind he was thinking of the worst

While they were performing the scene in which vansh get poisoned & riddhima lays beside him cozyly to provide him warmth,he started to feel too unwell & asked for instant off after the scene got done

While helly too became worried for him,assuming for the worst he was mentally prepared to go through the covid test hoping his assumption dont come true,but Destiny had some other plans for him.

The reports will arrive after 2 days of test which was indeed a long period for both rrahul & helly,in between these 2 days he got to know that almost his entire family in dehradun got infected by covid & in isolation,while his reports were still awaited which he didnt told his family as he didnt wanted to make them worry more,while here in sets she is impatiently waiting for his call stating his reports ,she was shooting but her heart was stuck somewhere else.this was all noticed by noel sir,vishal & zayn who too tried their best to know about rrahul's report. By the time his report arrived there came another news a good one that on slot of 7pm amid IPL IMMJ2 got the highest trp of 1.7,which was indeed a matter of sheer joy,but its Said that when there is joy there will be sadness too,& this time sadness came in the form of rrahul's report which came exactly as his assumption.

Yes rrahul tested positive for covid.

By the time this news reached to production they immediately issued an informatory notice regarding the same,while medical teams have been called to test the remaining actors & crew as a precautionary measure.

As soon as helly got to know about rrahul being covid positive she immediately went to her room & called him.

"Hello"

"Hello rrahul "

Thats all she could say she was too overwhelmed by her emotions that even her words got chocked & eyes started to rain

As if he can sense her turmoil & unsaid worry for him he joked around to uplift her mood

" I'm fine helly its just covid wanted to have a vacation with me so it decides to infect me ."

"Shut up man"

"If i shut up then who will uplift your mood?"

"No jokes rrahul I'm worried for you,you are alone here,how will you manage ,i wish i could come to you & take care of you"

" dont you dare to think coming to me now,already i put you on high risk by shooting so close to you inspite of knowing that I'm not feeling well,taking all this lightly now i dont want to suffer more"

"Hmm "

" well my family in dehradun too got infected"

"What!!!"

"Did you told them about yourself?"

" not till now ,but will tell them by evening "

" please take care of yourself,i wish you recover soon,i already started to miss you"

"Don't worry I will be fine soon"

" production has arranged for everyone's test too,since we shot together they think i might have infection too ,so going for test now"

" don't worry it will be all fine,just be calm ok"

Saying this they hunged the call,while he asked her not even think of coming to him,she desperately wanted to meet him once even if meant to be stay below his apartment & look at him ,while on the other hand hia condition was no different from her he too wanted to meet her,but the sheer thought that she might get covid as she shot with him was making him constantly worried & guilty.he was not worried for himself but he didn't wanted her to get infected at all Since the testing on set has started it took almost whole day to complete the tests ,by the time helly got done with her tests it was nearly the time of pack up,getting in her car she was unable to enjoy the monson rain tonight as her heart & mind both were occupied by the thoughts that how rrahul will be managing the things alone there

While in between the ride,he called her to know about her health,but she said she is fine although she too was feeling feverish but she knew he must be feeling guilt ,so by telling him the truth she can't make him more worried & guilty.informing him about her reports that will be out in 2 days she hanged the call.

While he already knew that she hided about her health from him in order to not make him more guilty ,as zayn told him about her health beforehand

It was the most difficult 2 days for them after rrahul's test,making both of them impatient,worried,fearful for each other.

Finally the time arrived when her reports will come,making him all fearful & sitting with fingers crossed in hope that she don't get infected ever in this life.

As soon as she got her reports she ran to her room with it not opening it,& immediately called him

" hello"

"Hello helly ,did your report arrived?"

"Yes"

"What does it state?"

" i haven't open it till now"

"What!! So open na why are you waiting "

"I didn't opened it as i wanted to open it with you,sharing the good or bad whatever news it will bring"

"Nothing will happen just open it & tell me what it states"

Nodding her head in response as if he can see her,she started to open the envelope & for good 10 minutes she didn't said anything to him which made him worried as hell.

While after overcoming the sudden shock ,she gained her composer & said

" its negative "

"Thank god!!"

Is the only thing he could say but the very next moment he got so joyous that he literally screamed in his happiness which made her happy too & both the mad souls squealed loudly over the call expressing their happiness,the relief & the lost of guilt

For rrahul indeed that was the most happiest moment of his life,he couldn't even imagine how a single word negative has brought so much joy to him,quite similar to the joy he witnessed in his friends who became father for the first time.today after getting this news he too felt the same joy running in his veins.

While his heart was happily dancing with joy,his intellectual mind posed the most difficult question to him: when did she became so important to you that you forgot your pain & just wanted her to be safe?

While having no answer to give he rebuked himself for having such weird thoughts while they continued to share their day over calls.

After some time even chandni & Jay (chachu) too got positive while the shoot continued with 50% cast & crew.

While the time rrahul is in isolation it has became a ritual for both of them to share their happenings of the day over call ,sometimes used to video call to see each other which was a bit of peace they got thanks to technology.

Since the time was ticking fast it was nearly 10 days of his isolation,while in this span they got to know more about each other which even included their birthdays too.as his birthday is approaching she decided to give him a surprise ,no matter whats the situation is she can't let his first birthday with her spoil because of covid.even if they can't meet in person & celebrate it.she will try to make sure that she makes his special day more special even by staying far from him

She worked with many actors till now,celebrated their birthdays but don't know why she was feeling the special type of excitement for rrahul's birthday.he too is just a co actor of hers.but her heart asked her "really just co actor?"

Brushing off her weird thoughts she actually started to think that what she can do to make his birthday special.

While in this between the producer of her short film called her & told her that the short film that she shot is ready to be release & the date of release is 2nd october.

Hearing this a beautiful smile adorned her face,giving her best wishes & hoping for the good response on that short film she thanked destiny who made his birthday special even to her & by the coincidence the film she shot is titled as "Happy birthday " & releasing on 2nd october i.e. on rrahul's birthday

While she decided to keep this news secret from him,until the film gets release so that she can surprise him with this achievement of hers.she got busy in preparing for his special birthday.

Telling everyone in the cast & crew about his birthday she asked them not to wish him till she gives him the surprise,while she ordered his favorite black current cake ,she took off a beautiful banquet of fresh white lilies & started to ride towards his home

On reaching upon his apartment she handovered the cake & bouquet to the watchman & asked him to keep it outside his flat's door.While standing in the compound of his apartment she called him exactly at 12am wishing him happy birhday in her melodious voice,she asked him to open his main door immediately,meanwhile they stayed on call but her sudden order to open main door made him skeptical about her,what if she came & waiting outside door ,damm she is stubborn,but all this thoughts vanished as he saw the yummy cake with the bouquet while he mumbled thanks to her she asked him to come out in his balcony with the candle,cake & knife,confused on her behavior he decided to give upon to her wishes & as soon as he came out in his balcony with a candle lit over the cake & knife ,he got shocked seeing her standing below his apartment waving at him,while seeing her like this at that hour of night he scolded her out of his worry ,but very soon melted like chocolate after hearing that all she did is for him as she wanted to celebrate his birthday being with him in a special way.

Asking him to cut the cake,she kept singing the birthday song over the call,making both of them overwhelmed with some known & unknown emotions.

Indeed they were far from each other physically,but their hearts were tied together which brought them together even battling the destiny

Waving him a good bye & wishing him once again,she rode back to her home ,& he went to one of his peaceful sleep.

The next morning brought so many notifications for him,& with his atmost patience he was trying to answer everything ,but his heart was waiting for her call again this morning to wish him & even waiting for calls from his bro's from sets (zayn,vishal & manasvi) ,when he didn't got their wishes he understood his little panda is upto something & even all are supporting her in this. While on the sets all ready with her camera his little panda is going to every person present on the set giving their intro & collaborating their wishes for rrahul on his birthday in a video,after getting done she sat tiredly on chair & after the editing got done now his birthday special video is ready to upload,within few minutes the video was uploaded she called him ,wishing him again happy bithday & asked him to check his instagram as there is a surprise for him.So he was right.his little panda was doing all this surprise thing for him & as per her order when he saw his instagram he instantly felt overwhelmed by her cute & lovely surprise,a birthday wish video where she brought everyone together to wish him personally,while watching this he started to get calls from zayn & vishal too .

" happy birthday bhai"

"I thought you two forgot it "

"How can we do bhai when helly is constantly reminding us of your bithday since last 2 days"

"What!!"

Indeed it came as pleasant shock for him.

"Yes bhai & even she asked all of us not to wish you before she uploads the wish video"

By promising to call later they hunged the call as they have been called for their scenes.

While a notification from YouTube graced his screen,by tapping on it he got to know that helly's short film which she shooted one year back got released today & titled as" happy bithday" .

While another whatsapp message flashed on his screen stating -

"I hope by this time you saw the notification of my short film release ,you know its the gift my destiny choose for you,bringing all the coincidences together,may be no one will know,but i dedicate my this film to you on your birthday which indeed become special for me .thank you for being in my life" .

Reading these lines he got teary eyed,never in his dreams he thought that his birthday could be so special to someone other than his own family & him .

While smiling at her profile his heart already answered the question that his mind asked him that night
