Kabir's POV:
I told her. I finally told her what I felt for her, but I never thought I would tell her like this. My plan was to let her know about my feelings when I get back to Mumbai after this trip.
But, first her being here and then asking why I care about her this much despite everything that goes between us made me say it like that. I already decided that I will take things slowly, I won't rush like I did in the past.
Today I just gave her a small glimpse of what I have for her in my heart. I have a lot of things to tell, to properly open up to her so she won't have a chance to doubt my sincerity.
The things I said today were to let her know what I think of her. What actually she is for me is yet to say.
I don't want to express it just by a few words but by my actions. We will slowly move toward each other until her hand is in mine and I am in her heart.
I will do anything and everything to make her feel special, necessary and important in my life because she is all of these to me.
I can't express how happy and grateful I am that she chose to give me a chance instead of directly rejecting me without even considering me. The minute in which she remained silent when I asked for a chance, my anxiety only shot up.
I have never been this nervous in my entire life, not even on my first day as a director. She has some great power over me and I am not lying if I say she might be death of me someday.
The empty bowl of the white sauce pasta I made for her was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
The Tv screen was still playing the movie she was watching a few minutes ago. The sound of the rain was still loud outside the cottage house.
Her head was resting on my left shoulder carelessly while eyes closed and breathing normal signifying she went into a slumber. My legs were crossed on the coffee table and back leaned on the sofa back.
She soundly slept with a small carefree smile. The movie she chose after fighting with me for over 20 minutes was about to end.
A loud thunder was heard and her body snuggled in my chest. She curled into a ball, hugging her knees, with hands and head resting on my chest now.
I stretched my left arm to grab the remote from the other side of Mahi. She placed it there so I can't take it from her.
She shifted a little but remained where she was. I successfully got a hold of the remote and switched off the tv screen.
I moved my left hand to embrace her and kept my palm on her arm slowly moving it up and down to feel the warmth. She came even closer nuzzling her head in my chest even more.
I dipped my head, slowly kissed the top of her head and let my lips remain there for a few more seconds, feeling content with everything.
"How much I want this to never end, you in my arms." I let my chin rest on her head and closed my eyes. Regardless of how loud and chaotic the rain outside was, My heart only felt at peace.
â--------------------------------------------
Mahi's POV:
I opened my eyes slowly. The sun rays passed through the large wall size glasses around the main door. I slept in the living room last night? My head was resting on something hard.
I moved my hands on the surface which felt like a stone covered in a cotton fabric and looked up with eyes still half open. A sharp jaw came into view, I blinked a few times to confirm if I am dreaming?
And no I was not dreaming. Kabir's arms were wrapped around me gently. My whole body was almost on his hard one. My legs were on his long ones.
The last night memories came rushing back. His confession, the pasta we ate, and the movie we watched.
I quickly removed my legs and tried to get away from him slowly so he wouldn't wake up.
But as I pulled my head my hair was stuck in something. I turned only to find they were stuck in the buttons of his t-shirt. A groan left my lips in frustration. My hand automatically went to my mouth to cover, Stupid you will wake him up!
I lifted my hands and tried to free my hair from his buttons but they were badly entangled there. Oh god why did he wear such a t-shirt! As I was still on his left side so it was hard for me to completely turn and this was not helping it.
I raised on my knees and moved between his legs slowly so I could solve this mess. "Please for god sake!" a pleading murmur left my lips.
"What are you doing?" A raspy voice reached my ears and I jumped. My hands stopped whatever they were doing along with my mind.
I slowly looked up and our eyes met, he was looking down at me with eyes still not fully open but brows furrowed.
"Were you trying to take advantage of me while I was sleeping?" My eyes widened on the first thought that came to his mind this early in the morning.
"What? Looks like you are still sleepy. You are not someone I would take advantage of. I still have sanity left." I said with an are-you-serious look on my face.
"My hair is stuck in your stupid t-shirt button." I averted my eyes away from him and back to his t-shirt.
He moved closer, his chest coming closer to my face. His arms went to my back but they never came in contact with it, to which I felt a little disappointed.
"I am just making things easy for you." He said, his morning voice still hoarse.
"Whatever." I said in a bored tone but only I know how my heart was racing and heat crept to my body. I tried so hard but the damn hair was still stuck. I tried pulling hard, not caring if a few of them would break.
"Hey why are you being so harsh, let me do it." His finger brushed mine as he took my hair in his hands. He calmly tried to untangle them while I waited but not patiently.
We were too close and the fact that I was literally between his legs made the situation for me even worse.
"Done" He said and I stood up from the couch in a heartbeat. He looked at me without blinking.
"Need to freshen up." With that I ran away. Yeah I Mahi Deshmukh ran away because being this close to him did something unexplainable to me. His words from last night rang in my head.
I gave him a chance to pursue me but this was crazy, being around him after last night is even more crazy. Now that I know what he feels for me I can't think of anything else. "Messing with my head idiot."
We need to get back to the resort. Our shooting is starting today onwards. I went to take a shower, my clothes already dried up so I wore them. I will change once I reach there.
I came out from the bathroom and my eyes went to the little balcony. I went and stood there with my hands on the railing.
My gaze moved all over the view in front of me. The cottage house was on a mountain because the city could be seen from here.
The lush green trees covered the mountains and the air felt fresh mixed with the smell of soil.
The lake was clearly visible as the atmosphere was far more pure than Mumbai. I deeply inhaled taking in the natural smell along with the beautiful view.
"Do you like it?" My head turned to see the person standing beside me.
"It's beautiful." I said moving my eyes back to take in the beauty of this place. I didn't even noticed when he came.
"I am coming here for the first time after dad passed away. Mom often comes here..... she says this place brings her peace and she feels like dad is just beside her." My head again turned in his way. His face had a small sad smile and eyes looking in front but filled with sorrow.
"I am sure he is looking at you right now and is definitely proud of his strong and brave son." My hand went to his shoulder and I didn't ignore the urge to comfort him. He gave a smile which was not sad anymore.
"We should get going now. Ahan won't stop bothering me." He said checking his phone which buzzed a few seconds ago. I nodded and we went downstairs. After having breakfast we left for the resort.
------------------------------------------
Sameer kneeled in front of Nitya. He took out a small box of ring from his pocket and opened it in front of her with a bright and nervous smile. Surprisingly he was doing all this very naturally but Nitya seemed uncomfortable.
Nitya gave a surprised look to Sameer by keeping her hands on her mouth. We all cheered for him. I played the guitar while, Karan, Rishi and Priya started shouting loudly "Say Yes".
Tears started to form in Nitya's eyes and fell on her cheeks. She nodded, mouthing yes and forwarded her hand for Sameer to put on the ring on her finger.
He slipped the ring in her ring finger and raised on his feet. Nitya threw her arms around Sameer with a stiff smile.
"Cut Cut" Ishan announced "What are you doing Nitya? You have to give a smile which is of contentment. Feel like you are the luckiest person on the earth because you are finally getting the love of your life. The thing you always wished for is happening for real. Feel like you are on cloud nine." He explained.
According to the script they both will be on a boat ride in the lake and Sameer will propose to her. She will accept him and have to hug him.
On the other hand we as Sameer's friend will be on another boat to cheer for them. This was the third time we started shooting this scene because Nitya is struggling to hug Sameer.
"Do you want to take a break?" Ishan asked Nitya to which she shook her head.
"Let's start again, I won't make this mistake again." She said with a little shaky confidence. I can clearly sense that the tension between these two is affecting her here. Sameer whispered something in her ear but she just ignored him.
"Come on Nitya You can do it!" I shouted so she could hear even though our boats were very close to each other.
"Yes You can do it!" Priya and Rishi also cheered her and she passed us a small smile which said she is grateful.
"As you say, let's start again." Ishan said and they all again took their position. Everything again repeated. Sameer rose on his feet and Nitya threw her hands around him. This time she gave a real happy smile which clearly showed how happy she was.
Tears still fell down but they were of happiness and contentment. Our cheers were loud, clapping and whistles were also heard and the reason was obviously Rishi but I and Priya also joined and this was not in script.
Sameer lifted Nitya up and swirled her along with himself, this was clearly not in script again. Ishan still didn't say cut so we all kept clapping and cheering.
"Cut!" Ishan announced. "Wonderful! This was absolutely wonderful guys. Great job everyone! Great job Nitya. Let's turn the boats." Ishan said and we all now clapped for ourselves.
We got down from the boat. "Woah you were superb." Priya said to Nitya and she muttered a small thanks to her. We all were passed bottles of water from the spot boy.
"So that would be all for today. The sun is setting down and it will get dark soon. We all will resume tomorrow early in the morning. Get changed and let's head back to the resort." Ishaan informed us and we all agreed.
Today was definitely tiring. Kabir directly dropped me here in the morning because Ishan said so and left for his own shoot. He even said he will be back late tonight.
Looks like we all will be super busy for upcoming days, after all we all are here for work and not vacations.
