" Ready...... Camera Rolling....Action...!"

' Why do you love me Raaj...? You've already married to someone else...then what...? Don't make me a criminal of such a huge blunder....'

' I'm sorry Tiku....You never tried to make me feel love towards you...But my heart has stopped the place it has been deserving for a long time... '

' No...never...I won't be a sinner....I love you Raaj...I love you....that's why I leave you...Please don't try to find me or hitch back with me...I'll leave...'

' Tiku..........'

" Cut...Cut......

you did it well...!!!

Anshula - Mahesh....Good job !

We'll start the next scene after a 30 minutes break...okay...? '

Director Raichand entered to the tiny tent beside to the location, commanding on what the crew has to do     

It was 12 th november 1977 and Sarabjit Raichand's new movie was being shot at mariene drive in mumbai.No one hasn't known that some bizzare feeling were growing between Mahesh and Anshula during the shooting which was continuing for past four months

' Hey tiku.....!! What're you thinking looking at the sea...? Is everything okay with you...? '

' Mahesh ji...., you...? Please sit here...I never knew that you came here..'

Mahesh sat down next to anshula signing her to sit.But Anshula was still standing infront of him looking with a guilty feeling on her rosy face

' What has happened tiku...? I'm not the principal of your college...No need to act like an obedient kid infront of me...okay...? Sit down here...I'm your co-artist....'

The sarcastic smile,Mahesh threw towards Anshula,made her irritated.But she never wanted her face to show the anger on Mahesh.So she threw a light smile and sat next to him mumbling,

" Gosh...! Such a big headed man...! If I were senior to him,I would smash him like a vegetable chopsy..."

' Did you say something to me tiku...? '

' ah...oh...um....No...nothing...Mahesh ji,why're you calling me tiku...? It's the name of my character..but...? '

' Come on girl...you deserves that name Tiku..otherwise I'll call you gudiya..you know,Gudiya means doll...Janaki ma'am's Doll...Innit...? ''

There were some unkown feelings on Mahesh's face while Anshula was trapping with her own emotions when it started to rain

' oh god...! It's raining...!! Come on Tiku...!! Come here...you'll be caught by rain...'

Without any respond,Anshula's eyes were locked on Mahesh while he was shouting out loudly

' Are you deaf...? Cant you hear me...? Come here my silly girl...you're gonna be insain..'

Mahesh ran in to the tiny tent holding Anshula's soft hand tightly while she was still looking at him even without blinking

' uff.....! What has happened...why're you hurting me holding my hand tightly....It's paining a lot mahesh ji...leave my hand...'

' god...!! Please hit me with a bat....I'm such an idiot! Why did I save her from getting wet...Sorry ma'am...Go and dance in rain...You'll be able to get a gift pack of sneezes by rain...Go...'

Mahesh unbottoned his shirt looking at anshula regretfully.

' so...sorry mahesh ji...I had lost my mind..I couldnt imagine what had happened...sorry for that...You got wet because of me...'

' thank god....finally I got to know that her mind is in the ideal place..Dont worry tiku...I'm okay...Atleast I can take off my dresses..but you...? Thats why I said you to come soon...! '

He was wringing his shirt while she was turning her embarrassed face down

' I can manage it Mahesh ji..'

' oh...I forgot that you're here....Sorry to take off my shirt infront of you...plese turn on the other side...'

He said winking at her.But she couldnt help with looking at him anymore.How can any girl not look at such a handsome man..? His fair and well built body like a greek god, thick hairy chest, and watery hair made her crazy.

' excuse me miss...I said you to turn back...why are you looking at me with such a romantic mood...? I feel shy...'

' nope...I was not looking at you.. it's non of my business...I was looking whether my mom is coming or not...'

The way she was slurring her words made him dying with laughter

' Such a big liar...!! '

He giggled

' ha..!! ha ...!! ha.. !! What a great joke...!! I'll go to change my costumes...'

She shly crawled in to her dressing room which had been arranged inside the tent

Director Raichand finally decided to finish shooting because it had been raining for more than three hours by the time

So everyone packed up and left as soon as they could due to the heavy rain.Only Mahesh and Anshula were left in the location.Anshula were gazing at the road with a scared look as sky was growing dark with bluberry clouds.

' Doncha go home...? Who will pick you tiku...? '

He asked smoothly.

' I dont know..mom & dad have attened to a school concert of my sister..I think they'll be here soon..I said them to pick me at 5.30.But it's 3.30 now...I hafta wait here for 2 more hours...You go mahesh ji...I ll handle this by myself...'

She said under her breath

' 2 more hours....? No...it's impossible...Come with me...I'll drop you...'

He uttered with a firm voice

' No...it doesnt work...I ll stay here..dont worry about me..Thank you for your offer Mahesh ji...But I won't come...'

' I know..you're afraid of my offer...As a new comer to the industry,it's the best decision to reject seniors' offers because I know the dark side of film industry....So,I bow my head to your attitude...

But,I cant let you to stay here alone..I'll also be with you until Janaki ma'am comes..I know you since your childhood and I can remember the way Janaki ma'am once took you with her for a film premiere....So we'll wait here for your mom and dad to come...'

Actually Anshula never felt any doubt on Mahesh.Even she didn't know why.But whenever she was with him,she felt the feeling of safe.

' okay...no need to stay here...I ll come with you...please drop me Mahesh ji...'

Finally she had decided to go with him thinking,

' Being here alone with him is same as going home with him...'

' is it okay tiku...? '

He asked again

' yup..I think....Shall we go now...? '

' of course...let's go tiku...'

They both ran to the car under the heavy rain

' at last,you made me your driver...okay no probem ma'am...tell me where you wanna go...your obedient driver will drop you..'

He uttered with a giggling voice watching her sit in the back seat

' Sorry Mahesh ji...nothing like that..Shall I come to the front seat if you feel uncomfortable when I'm here..? '

She asked rolling her eyes.Through the front mirror of the car,Mahesh could see her dainty and cantankerous face

' just a joke baby...!! It seems that you're so aggressive....whateves,I'll drop you soon tiku...'

Mahesh smirked and started the engine of his brand new benz car.From then on, there was a silence inside the car for a long time

' Tiku.......? '

Mahesh wanted to break the silence

' Yup Mahesh ji....'

' oh you're here...I thought you've lost your mouth....Shall I tell a famous british humour,if you like ? '

' Sure....

' okay,then listen to me carefully.....

Two husbands were having a conversation, First guy says proudly "My wife's an angel!"

then the Second guy says "You're lucky, mine's still alive."

' wow.....my goodness Mahesh ji...that's wow..but what kind of a husband is he ? Stupid ! All the men are in the same boat...'

Anshula lashed out frawning towards to the front glass

' Be cool tiku...why are you frawning at me...it's not my fault...'

' not only you....but all the men...!! They always flirt other women inspite of their wives...Rubbish !! '

' yup..but it's not fair in every time men fall in love with another woman.. '

' Why..? What do you mean by it...? '

Her luminous eyes were illuminated by the curiosity

' you know tiku....Sometimes when we ask something from god,he gives us alternatives instead of what we want..um..it's like a consolation gift you get after completing a marathon as the last one...'

' then....? '

' Then,if you can do nothing on it,you hafta accept god's choice..But when you find the right thing,you wanted to possess,then axiomatically you'll stay there without any condition...Havent you heard a saying "everything is fair in war and love"...'

Anshula was wordless

' Why Mahesh ji...what's the reason for my heart to say that you're the choice of god for me....????? '

She questioned herself

' Tiku.....Aint I right...? '

' um....If you're right,tell me one thing...why does my mind say don't believe you while my heart says accept you...? '

Her raspy voice made him to stop the car

' Tiku....'

He wispered under his breath

' Mahesh ji,I can't deal with this bizzare feeling anymore..I don't know how to give an ideal name for this..I've got lost...! I wanna...'

He held her keeping his index finger on her glossy lips which were egearly awaiting him to plant a kiss upon them

' shh...!! keep your mouth shut...! Your eyes speak faster than words...'

All at once, Mahesh dragged her over the seat to him.She was on his lap trapping between the steering wheel and his chest

' Mahesh ji,this shouldn't happen....'

' I wish I hadn't met you, then I wouldn't be so crazy...'

He murmured and at the next second both of them got lost in their own world upon a desirable lip lock under the heavy rain which was making a lust atmosphere in the evening

' Go away tiku......Go away from me....You didn't deserve a man like me.....please go away from me before I do something wrong...I can't control myself...'
