50 Shoot
Part 50 Shoot
"They want the Ad to be ROMANTIC," Arnav said, intentionally cutting off the word SLIGHT.
Khushi widened her eyes. She could not believe Arnav agreed to act in the Ad even after he got to know about their demand. What was there in his mind? She tried to read his face but his face looked crystal clear water. She could not read anything.
"Tomorrow is a Sunday. We will be free. I think we should finish the Ad shooting tomorrow. What say?"
Khushi stared at him. She did not know what to say. Arnav didn't wait for her reply though. Taking his mobile, he dialed Santhosh. He attended the call.
"Hello, ASR..."
"We are free tomorrow. You can use our time if you want"
"OK ASR. We will fix it"
"Don't you want to get the authority's permission?"
"They will make immediate arrangements ASR because they know how busy you are. I will let you know the timing"
"Ok..."
"It's already late. So, I won't call you but drop the message"
Santhosh said and Arnav knew why. He didn't want to DISTURB them when they were together.
"Ok"
"Good night, ASR"
"Good night"
Arnav disconnected the call, looking at Khushi.
"The shoot will take place tomorrow. Get ready..."
She didn't know what he meant by GET READY. She didn't know how she should get ready. He took the right side of the bed. Khushi gazed at him. Arnav looked at her, turning his face. Khushi covered herself with a quilt.
"Are you feeling cold? Do you want me to reduce the AC temperature?"
She nodded no.
"Then, why are you covering yourself? The temperature is mild..."
She was silent. She was covering herself because her clothes might mess.
"I'm used to it," she said plainly.
"Oh..." He pulled the quilt a little and slipped into it making her perplexed.
He looked at her and said,
"I'm also used to it"
His facial expression was serious enough while telling that. Khushi pulled her face inside the quilt. She widened her eyes when she saw Arnav also did the same.
"It feels good to be inside the quilt..." he smiled.
Khushi blinked her eyes softly. Arnav closed his eyes smiling, making Khushi gasp. She could not conclude his mind. After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and drifted into sleep. Arnav opened his eyes and made sure that she was sleeping. He removed the quilt and kept it aside. He waited and observed her move whether she would feel chill or not. Khushi didn't get disturbed from her sleep.
Arnav frowned. If she didn't get disturbed, why did she always cover herself? That was when Khushi turned opposite to him in her sleep. Her top rolled up a little and revealed her lower back. Arnav averted his gaze gulping down. He understood why she covered herself with the quilt. He again covered her with the quilt. He turned opposite to her and closed his eyes.
The next morning
Arnav woke up from his sleep and found Khushi fresh. She was combing her hair, sitting in front of the mirror.
"Good morning" he smiled, looking at her through the mirror.
"Good morning," She said, turning behind.
"When did you wake up?"
"5o' clock"
"Why so early?"
"We have a shoot today. Before leaving RM, I would like to cook something for the kids as today is Sunday"
"Mmm... what are you going to cook?"
Khushi smiled at him and left the room without answering. Arnav raised his brows and sighed. He looked at his image in the mirror.
"Mmm... it seems after the wedding, girls would become like this...typical wives...!" he sighed and went to the washroom.
When he came downstairs, Shali shouted,
"Dad...Khushi Didi is preparing your favourite Pancakes"
Arnav saw Khushi coming with a plate full of pancakes. She served them all. Arnav felt bad for putting Khushi on the random wives' list. Arnav ate relishing it. He said nothing even though it tasted good.
Khushi finished having breakfast quickly and went to their room to get ready. She looked simple.
Arnav and Khushi left RM. Arnav drove the car towards the Ad agency studio.
"You look simple"
"However, they will provide me costume... I will have to change it... that's why I preferred a simple dress"
"By the way, I'm sorry"
"For?"
"When you refused to answer me about the breakfast, I thought you became a typical wife"
Khushi chuckled.
"The pancakes are so good" he smiled.
"Thanks"
They reached their destination. Everything had been ready for them. They were given a costume. Khushi was stuck as they provided a SINGLE room. She looked at Arnav perplexed.
"We are husband and wife after all..." he shrugged.
Khushi was silent. He was not wrong. After all, they were a couple.
"I will leave after changing... after that, you can change," Arnav said.
Khushi nodded ok.
Arnav started removing his clothes, observing her expression through the corner of his eyes. Khushi removed her phone and checked messages to avoid looking at him.
Arnav smilingly changed the dress.
"Close the door. The makeup artist will come to make you ready," he said.
Khushi nodded. Arnav left the room. She got ready. As Arnav said, the makeup artist knocked on the door. She Made up Khushi ready. Khushi liked the light makeup with a Pinkish shade, matching her pink and golden work suit with a mild jewellery set.
Arnav's eyes smiled along with his lips, seeing her so mesmerizing. The director explained the sequence to Khushi.
"Ma'am, you should run to ASR, seeing him entering home, and hug him"
Khushi looked at Arnav standing next to her, listening to the director.
"Shall we go for a take?" the director asked.
"No... we will go for a rehearsal..." Said Arnav and all of them looked at him weirdly. What was there to rehearse a hug? The question was raised in the director's mind but he didn't have the guts to voice it out.
Arnav understood what was cooking in his mind.
"She will be confident if she utters the dialogue once" he managed.
The director gave them time to rehearse. Khushi ran towards Arnav smilingly. Arnav stood looking at her. when she hugged him, Arnav circled her waist and lifted her from the ground. He rotated her in the air and put her down. Khushi looked at him shockingly because it was not in the script.
"What happened? You look happy?" Arnav asked.
Khushi didn't tell her dialogue as she was numb.
"See, this is why I asked for rehearsal," Arnav said.
The director nodded smilingly.
"Now, shall we go for a take Khushi?" Arnav asked.
She nodded with an awkward smile. They went for the take. Khushi made up herself and acted and the second take clicked.
The final shot came. Arnav gave her a jewelry set and Khushi again hugged him. Arnav lifted her chin and read her eyes those were bewildered. He kissed her cheek and looked at her who was closing her eyes. Arnav again hugged her with a mild smile. The director was looking at them forgetting to say anything. he didn't know what to say because as per the script, Arnav should kiss her on her forehead.
Arnav looked at him and said,
"Forehead kiss would not be romantic but respectful. That's why I kissed her cheek"
"Excellent..." The director said.
Arnav nodded and looked at Khushi who had not come out of the shock yet.
