Pani – a story we wish were true – Part 36

Recap: Manan store room sequence shoot going on. Parth and Niti’s feelings behind the scene. Ayaz’s prank to try and make the two of them realize their feelings.

After having their lunch, there was some more time left and all the girls were sitting together and sharing gossips and other fun talks.

Krissan: Charlie, why don’t you get Troy and choti on sets someday ? We all would love to meet them. (Troy and choti are dogs that Charlie and Amar (her boyfriend) have adopted. Charlie had gifted Troy to Amar and then later, herself had adopted choti.)

Charlie: I would love to yar ! But Troy goes with Amar and choti would need me by her side all the time. And since we have a hectic schedule on sets I won’t be able to pay attention to her. But I will get her someday when we don’t have so much work load.

Veebha: great then do let me know when are you getting her so that even i will get my timmy (veebha’s dog. Imaginary name)

Charlie: okay btw what’s the new gossip? Does anybody have any ?

Krissan, Niti and Veebha nod their heads indicating they have none. But Charlie continues,

Charlie: but I think Niti has something.

Niti looks up at her questioningly !

Charlie: what ? Don’t you know what am I talking about ?

Niti: no !

Charlie: so then tell me what’s cooking ? I mean did you see Parth’s face at that song we sang ? It was a normal prank Ayaz asked us to play. But what was there so much that he was so angry ? What’s cooking Niti ? C’mon tell us !

Niti: (stammering out of nervousness) wh-a-t ?? N-n-othi-ng.. Why are you asking li-ke that ?

Charlie: (bursts out laughing and veebha and Krissan join her) look at your face ! (Stretches Niti’s cheeks) I was just kidding baby doll !  I was just pulling your leg.  C’mon girl, aren’t we aware of the Cold War between the two of you ? I mean after knowing all of that we can’t even imagine the two of you together. So I was just teasing you.

Niti keeps staring for a while trying to digest in what Charlie had just said. She then takes a sigh of relief and then leaves for her shot when called by the spot dada.

Both Parth and Niti move back for the continuation of the same scene. The next part to be shot was the part when Nandini starts crying as she had lost hope that they would be found by anyone and that she would end up in that place with the monster. At those thoughts she starts crying. Manik suddenly feels bad for her and gives her a piece of cloth to wipe her tears. Parth on seeing Niti crying, thinks, “whenever I made her cry due to those silly fights, she must have cried the same way right ? But why did I do that ?! She is a nice person, kind hearted and a sweet girl, I shouldn’t have hurt her that way.”

The next part to be shot is the scene where the college is closed down due to which the lights are switched off and Manik is afraid of the dark. Due to his fear, he asks Nandini to keep talking to him so that he would not feel he was alone. That was when Nandini began talking and Parth kept noticing Niti talking to him. For a while he comes out of his character and thinks, “I don’t quite remember Niti talking to me like this. We do talk on the phone but it’s been quite a long time since we were seated face to face and were talking freely. I think I should ask her if we could do something about it.”

The next scene was when Nandini gets scared of a mouse and starts running here and there. Manik suddenly picks her up and makes her sit on a high rack.

Director: So, Parth you have to pick her up from that chair. She would be standing on it all panicked and you have to calmly go up to her, pick her up from the shoulders and come and place her on this rack. You’d be able to pick her up right ?

Parth: Yes of course !

He then looks at her when nobody is watching and giggles while teasing her about her short height and less weight. Niti makes a puppy face at that and then instantly gives him a smile.

During the shot, while he picks her up, he feels like he is picking up a little kid as she was also behaving like one. He found all her actions so adorable that he actually wanted to stretch her cheeks and play with them. But he controlled his emotions and let the shot get over.

After pack up that day, they again follow the same routine except one thing. Ayaz insists to help them and support them and therefore suggests that he would drop Niti at their meeting spot and the others would think that it is Ayaz who is dropping Niti home.

In the car,

Parth: Such a long day today right ?

Niti: Yea ! That’s because we had so many scenes to do.

Parth: Yup ! By the way, I was thinking, if you don’t mind, would you like to go out someday? I mean for dinner or so ?

Niti looks at him confused as to why is he suddenly asking for that ?

Parth: No it’s okay if you don’t wish to. I just thought maybe we could spend some good time. As in we always talk on the phone or so or in this car that too till we reach your home. And now that you will get back your car from the garage within 2 days, even this won’t be there. So, we don’t get time to sit and talk face to face, you know like normal friends.

Niti: You are right ! We’ve been so much into this hide n seek game that we don’t get time to sit and talk. Okay the let’s go.

Parth: Great then, tomorrow after pack up ? Dinner ?

Niti: Sure !

After sometime of reaching home, Niti gets a call from Parth informing her that he had reached his place safely. It had been Niti’s instructions that he had to give her a call as soon as he reaches home. Parth somehow found it sweet of her to care for him so much. That day, they did not keep chatting till late as they had to go for shoot early the next morning and therefore needed some rest. But none of them could sleep even after disconnecting the call.

Both of them kept thinking about the whole day’s incidents and the way they came across difficult scenes and tackled them. Niti thinks to herself, “Now such scenes would come up every day and even more difficult, more close, more intense. I hope we are able to handle them all the way we did today.

Even Parth had been concerned as to how would they handle such scenes further but he knew somewhere in his heart that something would come up to help them. That day, Parth decides to write down his thoughts and feelings about Niti, “not necessarily about her. I’ll write about my experiences in kyy.” he explains to himself. He then pens down all his thoughts from the day he met Niti at the party and started hating her, to this day when they had started sharing a good friendship bond.

The next day at shoot passes just as a routine day but by evening, something happens that disrupts things at the shoot as well as the dinner date Parth and Niti had to go for.

Precap: something has happened that disrupts things at the shoot as well as the dinner date. What is it ? And would it be solved in time to let Parth and Niti enjoy their first date, “as friends” ? ?

****

So friends, I am stopping at this for you all to guess what would have happened that disrupted things ? And would it get solved ? Would PaNi be able to enjoy their first date which of course they don’t consider a date as they are “just friends” . Please comment down below and let me know your guesses.

P.S. Please don’t be disheartened if the actual thing in the next part does not match up to what you had guessed.

Also friends, I would like to invite suggestions on both my stories from all of you..you may leave in your suggestions for the current as well as future track. I’ll try to incorporate something suggested by a majority group.

Thank you for your continued support ! All of you have become a really important part of my life and are very close to me so Thank You very very much !! I love you all !!
