11 Model
Part 11 Model
Arnav was stuck and Aman was surprised. Arnav let out a soft chuckle and said,
"Me and modelling? No way..."
"Why not, sir? You are exactly looking like a model... is not he?" Khushi asked Aman, who nodded yes.
"She is right, ASR...you are looking dashing."
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Arrey yaar... modeling is not my cup of tea. I don't know acting..."
"You don't have to act, sir. You just walk with a smile. It's enough..." Khushi said.
"Just a walk with a smile?"
"Yes, sir... it's enough. Our Ad team will edit it with effects"
"No no no... I don't think I work"
"It will, sir... definitely it will..."
Arnav suffocated. He didn't know what to say.
"Actually, Khushi people will taunt me..."
"Taunt about what, sir?"
"About my age..."
Khushi was stuck.
"Age? You are just thirty-five..."
Cutting her,
"Thirty-eight"
"So what, sir? You don't look like thirty-five at all. Sir, you should feel proud to have such an aura. People will taunt us when they cannot do what we do... just ignore them and give it a try, sir. It will surely click"
"But, Khushi..."
Khushi turned towards their team and asked,
"Guys, is not ASR looking dashing?"
"Of course, he is..." Came from them.
"See... everyone is feeling the same"
"But modeling is different, Khushi"
"Sir, whatever we do, there will be someone to criticize us... good or bad, no different. If we waste our time on people's thoughts, we can't do anything, sir"
"Jeff..." Khushi called the cameraman who was listening to them.
"Yes, Khushi..."
"What do you say? Does ASR become a model for this Ad?"
"Yeah... why not? He can surely do it"
"Are you sure?"
"Yup... we can try"
"But, I know nothing about modeling..." Arnav said.
Before Jeff said anything,
"Jeff, let him walk... just make it like, a young girl looks at him awe-struck... what say?" Khushi asked.
"Yeah, this sounds nice"
Arnav was looking at Khushi awe struck who smiled at him brightly.
Natasha, the female model who heard their talks came to them.
"No doubt he looks handsome, but I committed to this Ad only for Ganesh Soman. I can't act in this Ad because I have created some level of expectation in public. I'm sorry" She walked out.
Arnav looked at Khushi like,
*What will you do now?*
"No problem, sir... our team girls would be interested to do that."
She looked at them and a few raised their hands.
"Simple..." Khushi shrugged her shoulders.
"Is it necessary, Khushi?"
"Undoubtedly, sir. When we have sources, why would we miss them and expect others to fulfill them?"
"Jeff, roll on the camera and check who has the camera genic face in those girls," Khushi said.
Jeff nodded ok and did that. He took five minutes and then looked at Khushi.
"Khushi, are not you interested?"
All of them looked at him getting stuck.
"Me?" Khushi was stunned.
"Yeah... you look classic in my camera"
"Khushi?" Arnav asked.
"Yeah, she looks good," Jeff said.
"No no no... it won't work," Arnav said.
Without giving an ear to him,
"Do you think I will suit into it?" Khushi asked.
"Yeah... more than Natasha..." He chuckled.
"Ok, I'm ready..."
"Khushi, think before doing anything," Arnav said.
"What's there to think, sir?"
"I mean don't you want to get your parent's permission?"
"Sir, I just am going to stand awestruck, looking at you... to drool over on a man, would anyone get their parent's permission or what?" she asked teasingly, controlling her laughter.
Arnav rolled his eyes smiling and people around them laughed, including Aman.
"It's just an Ad, sir. There is nothing to think about it seriously"
"ASR, don't think much. Everything is falling in the right place... just do it" Aman said.
Arnav was silent.
"Shall I get ready?" Khushi asked.
Aman gestured for her to go ahead. She went to the makeup room.
"I don't know how kids are going to react to it," Arnav said.
That was when Aman understood why Arnav hesitated.
"The kids will feel bad if it is Natasha... they won't feel bad as it is their favorite Khushi Didi"
"That's why I'm nervous, Aman. Khushi has good bonding with kids. What if they think differently and start distancing from Khushi?"
"Why do you think so?"
"You have no idea what place Khushi has in their hearts. Do you know how happy they were with Khushi in the theme park? This was the first time, they ignored me and mingled with someone. Khushi is really something. She teaches morels and life hacks to kids in a simple way. They too obey her without a question. She acts like a MENTOR. They should not lose her guidance..."
"If it is so, we will make Khushi talk to kids about the Ad. She will handle the kids and they will understand"
"Mmm"
"Go and get ready..."
"Do you want me to change?"
"Of course... even though you are wearing our suits..."
Arnav went to change the dress.
Jeff saw Khushi coming, getting ready with slight make-up.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah..."
"Please, come here... let me check the lighting"
"Yup," Khushi came into the frame and Jeff rolled the camera to set the lighting.
It was perfect. That was when Arnav came out of the room, wearing the new suit. Khushi saw him and was awestruck. Jeff who was checking the camera looked behind and smiled at Arnav who looked dashing.
A few WOWs came from the team.
"You are looking so handsome, sir... don't know how many girls are going to lose their sleep after this Ad release" Khushi laughed.
Arnav raised his brows feeling awkward.
"ASR, you are going to enter the Hotel with a smile after hearing my command ACTION..."
"That's all?"
"That's all"
"Ok..."
"Khushi, you just stand with your team and look at him all the way mesmerizingly"
"Done"
They did what he said.
"Perfect," Jeff said.
"Is it over?"
"Yup... but we will take a few more takes..."
The same shot was captured five times from different angles.
After that, Khushi rushed to Jeff and said,
"Capture some Snaps of ASR. We will use them for magazines and posters"
"Sure..."
"Good idea, Khushi" Aman appreciated.
"Thank you, sir"
Jeff assisted Arnav in posing for the snaps.
"Aman, ask everyone to have lunch. It's already late" Arnav said.
Aman looked at Khushi who just came changing her clothes. Khushi sent the team to the lunch.
"You too go, Khushi..."
"That's ok, sir... I will have it after finishing the shoot" She waited.
Arnav suffocated to pose in front of Khushi who was smiling at him for the entire shoot.
"Aman sir... someone said modeling is not his cup of tea... did you see the man anywhere?" She asked teasingly and Aman laughed.
"Yeah... he is posing like a real model" Jeff smiled.
"What do you mean REAL model, Jeff? There is nothing called REAL and REEL. He became a REAL model already. I don't know how he is going to manage his schedule and give dates to the Ad companies in the upcoming days" Khushi chuckled.
"Stop teasing me, Khushi" Arnav rolled his eyes.
"I'm serious, sir... I bet Ad companies will approach you for sure"
Arnav nodded his head from left to right with a serious expression.
The shooting was over. Jeff packed his things and came to Khushi. He extended his hand towards her for a shake. Khushi raised her brows questioningly.
"The much I know, the shooting spot looks like fire and everyone would be stressed until the shoot gets over. I have never worked so light-heartedly like today. You are a lively person who makes your surroundings light..."
"Thank you" Khushi shook hands with him smiling.
"He is right, Khushi... you made ASR a model. It's a big achievement, you know"
Khushi smiled and Arnav became thoughtful. Yes, it was not easy to make him accept things he didn't like. He could not believe how he agreed to become a model. Both of them didn't realize that they became so casual with each other after the Amusement Park trip but Aman did. He didn't take it seriously because he knew Khushi. As Jeff said, she was a lively person who made her surroundings lively.
"Let's have lunch. I'm hungry" Aman said.
They went to the dining to have lunch. While eating, they discussed the Ads with Jeff and got to know about them.
When they came out of the dining, Khushi saw Naveen looking here and there with his friends. She gritted her teeth because she didn't think it was a coincidence. After all, she saw him searching for someone... maybe, for her. It must be Garima who told him about her program in the Hotel Hot Heaven. She took a back step and hid in the dining hall. Arnav saw that and frowned.
"What happened, Khushi?"
"Nothing sir... I will come by the back side entrance. You go"
"But why?"
"Nothing, sir... I just..." She rushed towards the backside.
Arnav stood with confusion. What happened to her? Why did she go through the back side entrance?
"ASR..." Aman called him.
"Coming..." Arnav walked with confusion.
That was when he noticed someone inquiring his team about Khushi.
"Do you guys belong to AR?"
"Yes..."
"Can I meet Khushi?"
"Khushi is having lunch"
"Thank you" he walked to the dining hall.
Arnav silently observed him. he went to the dining hall and searched for Khushi. He was disappointed not to see her there. He came again and asked the same person.
"Khushi is not in the dinning"
Before he got the answer from the person, Arnav did,
"Khushi left"
Naveen looked at him.
"When?"
"After the shoot got over"
Naveen gritted his teeth and Arnav frowned to see his expression. He wanted to know who he was but he thought, interfering in someone's personal matter was not a good manner. Naveen left the place with dissatisfaction. Arnav called Khushi. She attended the call and said,
"I'm going to the office by cab sir..."
"Mmm... ok..."
He disconnected the call thoughtfully.
To be continued...
