It had been a long day of shooting, Aditi still wasn't used to shooting such long hours, she sat back in the armchair, finally happy to be home.
Her phone buzzed beside her, she grabbed it and rolled her eyes at the message Ignoring me wont make me go away
I have no interest in speaking to you, one dance, you need to get over it she replied quickly

Zain smirked down at his phone Why are you so moody
Aditi gasped You are so rude, and you expect me to want to talk to you
Well maybe if you gave us a chance to be friends, I wouldnt be so rude
Aditi read the message and sighed Okay, what do you want to talk about?
The reply was instant Tell me about yourself

Aditi pursed her lips, she didnt feel like she was an interesting person, she was far from it. People didnt usually bother with her, she cleared her throat as a tear came to her eye.
Yes she had her dream, but she felt lonely.
Her phone buzzed again Hello, are you there?
Aditi locked her phone, resting back in her chair she closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks

Zain looked down at his phone worriedly, he could see she had seen his message, yet he had no reply.
Aditi wiped her tears away and took a deep breath
I dont feel like there is anything interesting about me
Zain read it straight away and frowned Theres atleast one thing interesting about every person, there must be something

I guess once when I was young, I fell down and I have a scar on my leg, looks like a butterfly if you look close enough
Zain smiled You'll have to show me some day;)
Aditi's eyes widened Did you just wink at me?
Yep, problem;)?
Aditi decided to change the conversation
So, what's interesting about you?

Hmm, I make really good pasta
Aditi laughed I said interesting!
Zain sat back on his bed Okay, ive never taken a bad picture
Aditi rolled her eyes Oh sure, everyone has, atleast once
Not me! So Desi Cinderella, what is my number saved under on your phone
Nothing as yet, what should I save your number under?

Desi Prince Charming!
Aditi laughed But you haven't charmed me yet!
What would I have to do for you to find me charming?
Hmm, ill have a think and let you know, for now ill save your number under ???
Zain huffed Thats such a boring name to be saved under
Aditi smiled I have to sleep now, nice speaking to you
Zain smiled And you

Aditi arrived on set, a warm flask of tea in hand, the sky was still dark and she was tired, very tired. She had stayed up to late talking to the man she had danced with and she shouldnt have, the conversation just flowed very easily.
She looked up from her phone to see Zain walk in, he was currently on the phone, speaking to someone in what seemed a very heated manner

Zain cut off the phone and slipped it in his pocket, he stormed past Aditi and to the changing room.
Aditi stood up, turning to watch him leave, she wanted to ask him if he was okay, but that was pointless, she probably wouldn't get an answer anyway
She looked down at her phone as it buzzed Tell me something funny
Aditi frowned, funny? Hm, she typed onto Google 'Jokes that are hillarious' and began to scroll through them

You seem sad, I would say God bless you, but it seems he already did:')
Zain laughed at his phone That was so cheesy, but it made me laugh, so thanks!
Aditi tapped her nails against her phone
Why did you want to hear something funny?
I had a bad morning, but you made it better so its okay

Aditi looked up to see Gautam walk in
"Morning"
He nodded "Will speak later, ive had the worst morning"
Aditi's jaw dropped, both Zain and Gautam seemed to have had a bad morning, she was still no closer to working out who the identity of the man she was texting, Gautam had got her number, but she had forgot to get his and as far as she knew, he hadn't text her yet, unless he was the man she danced with?

Aditi faced Zain at Ali's Cafe, he sat across from her, staring her down
"You're hiding something from me, but what"
She slammed her hands on the table "Some things are best kept a secret"
Zain stood up with her, there noses an inch away from eachother
"My speciality is finding out secrets, dont think you can hide forever" Zain couldnt help but think how Neil's lines were very true to his own thoughts about the woman he danced with

"You need to learn that some things are none of your business, dont go digging into things that have nothing to do with you, you're playing with fire" she paused, whoever was messaging her was definitely getting to involved, thats why she was best alone, not having friends.
"And you might get burnt" she finished, pulling away, she went to walk around the table when Zain wrapped a hand around the wrist

"Ive walked through worse to get where I am, you think a little fire would scare me"
Aditi stood ramrod straight, Zain's hold on her wrist made her whole arm tingle, her back against his chest made her feel to close for comfort, his breath against her ear made a shudder run down her spine
"It really should scare you Neil, some things, some people are damaged beyond repair, getting to close may leave you the same way"
She pulled her arm away and stormed off as they both heard

"Cut, that was brilliant"
Aditi turned back to face Zain who had an unrecognizable expression on his face, he shook his head fast, he had the strangest feeling while acting that scene out, but he had no time to try and make sense of it now
"30 minute break, then come back"
Aditi nodded and walked the opposite way to Zain

Ae dil hai mushqil played softly in the background
