What does that mean that she is afraid of his charms? Will she fall in love with him if she gets close to him? Rubbish... Khushi was thinking about how to tackle the rumor. She and afraid of Arnav's charms? Of course, Arnav is handsome... damn handsome. Doesn't mean she is running form him... She is staying away from him just because she doesn't want to give food to thoughts. Arnav is regularly getting into rumors all the heroines he acts with. She doesn't want to hit that list. So that she keeps herself in distance. This is her last movie. She doesn't want any issues to be created by the media people.

She was getting ready for the next shot thinking all these. The next shot was to be taken in RM and she came out from the make-up room. She heard a few unit people talking together.

"Anyone would get afraid of Arnav Singh Raizada..."

"I thought Khushi madam would be strong unlike others"

"She is indeed a strong person. She doesn't want to get tangled into the rumors. That's why she is staying in the limits."

"Those rumors are all fake, yaar. It was intentionally created by ASR's cousin NK for the free publicity."

"Yes, those rumors won't stand for even a week."

"It's because it's not true. Don't we know any LIE won't stay for long?"

The last stance gave Khushi courage. She felt a touch on her shoulder. She turned, jerking and sighed, seeing Aman.

"You...?"

"Who else other than me would touch you, Khushi?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"Is shot ready?" she asked.

"Yeah... in a few minutes."

"Then I will be in the make-up room."

"Why Khushi? Why not you spend with other actors?"

Khushi looked at him, not answering.

"Look at there, how joyfully they are chitchatting with others?"

"Don't you know me, Aman?"

"You too know me, right? I won't get you into something which makes you embarrassing. This is your last movie. Why not you make a few friends here, before leaving the industry?"

"I don't like to make friends in the industry. No one is true here. Everyone is selfish. They find ways to get benefits by using other's weaknesses."

"Then why are you showing your weakness? Khushi, everyone knows that what makes you scared. So, don't be scared. People will play with your weakness only if you show it to the world. Why not you face it with courage?"

"I don't have courage..."

He did cut her...

"Who said? You are alone for years damn it. Do you know how much courage it needs to be all alone, without anyone?"

Khushi looked at him dumbfounded.

"There is nothing to be worried because you have already faced enough. Now, you know your strength and weakness. Be careful with what makes you weak. And adopt the thing which makes you strong. There are many people like you in this world. Until you wanted to see their pleasant side, they won't show it. Just stop, being alone Khushi. Just come out of the shell. You know your limits right?"

Khushi nodded yes.

"Then why are you scared? Be in your limits and rock."

He extended his fist, towards her, raising his eyebrows. Khushi touched his fist with hers smilingly.

"That's my Khushi"

Aman smiled. Clutching her hand, he dragged her with him. He made her sit on the chair and took a seat beside her. He saw cutlets are being distributed to everyone.

"Someone bring us some cutlet." He shouted which dragged the whole unit's attention.

They amazed, seeing Khushi there. The unit guy who was distributing the cutlet turned to go to Aman. Arnav stopped him and got the plate form him. He came to them and extended the plate to Khushi. She took one from the plate and smiled at Arnav which definitely made not only Arnav's face but also Aman's face brighter.

"Thank you" She uttered softly.

"My pleasure..." Arnav sat next to her and munched a cutlet.

Arnav saw a unit guy crossing them. He had something in his hand. Arnav called him.

"Oyyyeeee, come here."

The guy came to him, not understanding why ASR is calling him.

"Yes, sir?"

"What's that?"

"Pakore."

"Are you eating alone? Give it to me."

He snatched it from him and stuffed a few cutlets in his hand. The guy left the place smilingly with cutlets. Arnav extended the pocket towards Khushi, asking her to take. She denied politely nodding NO. Aman laughed, seeing him eating the pakora.

"ASR, in this movie, I made a blunder."

"What?" he asked with pakora filled mouth.

"Instead of Khushi, I should have shown you as foodie because you are the original foodie."

"We are good actors. That's why we are acting totally opposite to our characters. Am I right, Khushi?"

Khushi nodded yes smilingly.

"That's fine, ASR. But, unit people should eat their favorite items, hiding from you it seems. Poor them... you are snatching everything from them yaar."

"Can't help. Ask them to bring everything in double." He said while eating the pakora.

"Won't you eat pakoras, Khushi?"

She nodded yes.

"Then why did you deny?"

She showed the cutlet which she is having.

"ASR, not everyone is talented like you. People couldn't eat everything at a time as you do."

He laughed. So did Khushi. Arnav stopped eating and smiled, seeing her laughing. Aman felt so nice to see her relaxing with them.

Next day

Khushi became tensed seeing Rohit in her make-up room.

"How are you Khushi?"

"I don't want to talk to you. Will you please leave?"

"Khushi, please give me a chance. I agree I did wrong... but I'm a changed man, Khushi. Trust me." He pleaded.

Khushi tried to leave the room, Rohit blocked her way.

"I just came here to give you my shoulders, Khushi..."

"I don't need your shoulders."

"I know you would have been upset due to the unnecessary rumors. I know how strong you are. Don't mind the rumor that you are afraid of Arnav's charms. Arnav himself should have created these rumors purposely. You don't know him. Just stay away from him. He is not...."

Khushi left the room, pushing him and searched for Aman. He was talking to Arnav. They saw her looking tensed.

"What happened, Khushi?" Aman asked, holding her shoulder.

"Ask him to leave."

Aman looked at Rohit and stood squeezing his hands. How could he ask him to get out? Yet he tried.

"Rohit, please... if she is not ready to talk to you, please don't disturb her," Aman asked politely.

"Don't behave like her, Aman. She is just angry with me. Don't you know how close we were?" Rohit said sadly.

Khushi shouted, couldn't bear him...

"Stop it.... Just stop all the old rubbish. If I start talking about it... it won't be good for you." Khushi sneered.

"Rohit... "Aman was about to say something, Rohit stopped him.

"You don't interfere in this matter, Aman"

"Why?" Arnav interfered.

The trio looked at Arnav.

"Why shouldn't he interfere? He is the producer of the movie. He is spending crores on this movie. He has all the right to send you OUT. And... I can't waste my call sheet. The whole day will be wasted if Khushi gets upset. So, please get out of the set." Arnav said calmly.

"You are asking me to get out, ASR?"

"Undoubtedly I'm asking you to get out."

"You shouldn't have done this, ASR" Rohit said controlling his anger.

"I just did..." Arnav said firmly.

Rohit left the place fuming.

Khushi stood there closing her eyes. Arnav gestured Aman something. Aman nodded yes.

"Khushi, we can reschedule the shoot. You go and take rest."

"No Aman. That's fine."

"Khushi..."

"I'm all right."

Aman sighed and started preparation for the next shot. Arnav was about to follow Aman,

"Arnav..."

Arnav looked at her surprisingly.

"Thank you so much."

"Mention not. I'm sorry I interfered with your personal matter."

"There is nothing called personal. He tried to use the situation into his favor like he always does."

"I think he won't disturb you again."

"Maybe in this set..."

She left the place to the shooting spot. Arnav joined her for the next scene.

That day Arnav saw a new Khushi in the set. She behaved so normally and started to interact with Arnav casually.

To be continued...

Birthday

"Today is ASR's Birthday," Lavanya said to Khushi who just came out of the washroom, finishing bath.

"Haan, So?"

"There is no shooting and you are completely free today."

"So?"

"Shall I go to my house to meet my family?" Lavanya asked for Khushi's permission.
