Shaheer's POV
We were dancing, I mean all of my co actors were dancing on songs like "bole chudiya" and on "ae mere dil tu gaye jaa"- and as always Vin and Anup were killing it with their moves. I personally adore them.
Suddenly the camera team present below the stage wanted to handover a present to me, gifted by a fan, I moved to collect it but Pooja took it by moving forward. She has always been like that, helpful and super sweet. In courtesy I bowed and thanked her, and she giggled seeing me bowed down. It was tough to do a dance with the gift, so she took it again from me returned it to backstage team and I looked at her. You might call me mean, but I truly love her when she cares about me. I like being papmered by her and yeah my mom. We both were dancing a bit and were conversing in between. We were totally engrossed. After that "pretty woman" started playing and I stared at Pooja whenever the pick up line came. She didn't notice but I was gazing at her.
Then I helped Anup by Handling his coat, as it was a hinderance to his comfort. Rohit asked me to dance but I just smiled . He wanted me to join as I was standing only but I was with Pooja, so it was okay.
Then to my surprise, I Felt left out when Pooja began dancing with Vin and her girl gang (Veebha and Shafaq). I know that she danced only upon their insistance, But I felt alone so I Finally joined my brothers while Pooja was posing for a picture. Then I saw Vin coming near her and I didn't know why I felt jealous seeing them.. it shouldn't be like that .. I mean ofcourse he's my bhaii but I was jealous because SHE'S MINE!
To just resist the sight in front of my eyes, I stood near Pooja, between them both. Crazy! Me? Yeah of course!!

Pooja's POV
So it's 16 December today and I was a guest today at my Arjun's personal show, Panah Asmaara Arjun! What a big adventurous day. "But today I really wanted to cry when I saw him with them!" I told Veebha as I was lying beside her in her room, after shooting whole day. "He's so mean!" I continued.
"Please Pooja! Tell me what happened?! You are scaring me!" She said.
"Okay listen what happened!" I told her the entire thing.
Flashback :
When I reached the set of PAA, I was shocked to see Shaheer, participating as a judge along with Indra and his constant co host. I was shocked to see so many girls competing for my Shaheer. And at the same time I was infuriated.
"Hii!" I intervened.
"we you tell me what is happening?! Shaheer you told me that you have come to Indonesia for a month and it's been 2 and a half months...and I asked you what you are going for and you said it's for a meet and greet you never told me it's a dating show and these girls..!" I said in a single go.
He tried to explain "it's not a dating show and it's just a game show!"
"why these girls are There and no boys in the contestants then?"
"it's the format of the show yar..!"
"only girls?"
"yeah..!"
"and when I asked you what did you tell me?" I lashed out at him.
"that it's a game show!" he replied innocently.
"I really don't know what to say to you and" I turned to Indra and continued "I asked you, and what did you tell me, it's okay! it's all okay! all safe! it's not a dating show! Is it look like a non dating show to you right now? I met you at the Mahacinta show right!? And I asked you! You know the relationship we share...I was friendly enough to tell you that and what did you tell me!!!"
Indra was looking at the grass and mumbled "it's nothing between them."
" then why there are no male contestants!? What is the concept can you explain to me?" I shouted.
"Oh yeah!" Indra said.
" can you just turn that thing of (camera)"
Then I continued to Shaheer "I need to talk to you Shaheer! Can we go somewhere private right now? Can you give me that much respect!!"
"yeah just..I will come I'll come." Shaheer was bafffled at my reaction and he Hinted the camera man to stop shooting.
We sat in the lobby of the mansion meant for PAA and conversed.
" it's not a dating show!" Shaheer initiated the talk after a long gap.
"then what it is?"
"yeah pooja, it's not like that at all what you are thinking."
" three months!! I completed my meet and greet I'm also here for professional assignment. You know I've finished and came here spying on you!"
" it's just few more days!"
"that's not the point, you promised something to me and this is not that. I think I should just go!" I felt disgusted and stood up but he griped my hand "no no no! Ok it's ok I'm sorry, I'll say no to them I can't do this." He concluded.
" i don't know! it will make me look bad. Because it's profession you have taken up in the first place."
" no no don't react like that yaar. Let me just talk to them. I'll tell them that I can't do this." He tried to pacify me
" But its not like that!" He again said.
"ok fine I'm leaving!" I walked away but he held my hand.
"no no Pooja! I will just talk to them. I'll come with you..I'll come with you. we will talk together. I'll tell them that this is not happening I can't do this show anymore. I have to go back! Okay!?" He said.
"guys! I can't! I have to go I guess. She doesn't know about this and sorry guys!!" he said to the girls and Indra.
" you have to leave? Really!!" Indra tried to confirm.
" yes I'm sorry guys!" And he came inside to take his bag. girls outside began crying. We came out and girls started stopping us to go!
"no no ! Relax. No girls. No no no! Don't do this." And we left.

"So you made him leave, his show?" Veebha asked as i narrated her. She was shocked to her teeth upon hearing it all.
To her surprise, i just stared at her blankly.
"Tell me na! Kya kia fir tum dono ne. Kya tum dono khush ho? Maine ni socha tha ke Shaheer itna bada decision lelega....he will leave the show..."
"hahahahahah!" I laughed so hard at her and she was blank this time.
"Kya? Kya ye sab majak tha?"
"Nahi ye sab hua...jab humne Indra or un ladkiyo par prank kia...hahahaha...or tum bhi uska shikaar hogyi!" I said in between the laugh.
She slapped me on back and said "you!!! I hate you....mai nahi yaar...esa nhi hota!"
"Hahahahah!" And I couldn't stop laughing at my dear Subhadra.
"Okay okay sorry!" I apologised finally, while still laughing.
"To aage kya hua?"
" We came back and declared it was a joke"
"He was still here still yours! He is still the part of your show I'm not taking him away I'm really sorry you know we are actors and that's what we are! We forgot to add you in our plan(Indra)" I told everyone there.
"I was made the judge of the show for today and then we sat together to have a talk with girls and Indra. You know Shaheer also told them about our umargaon days !"
"Okay kya bataya usne?" Veebha asked remembering about old days. She was smiling.
"That not every night but whenever we used to shoot and pack up early in umargaon, we used to go to the terrace, all of us! it was such an amazing place and that we have the best memories of Mahabharat, in apartments as we all used to live in the same building and in the night we used to go to the terrace 1 in the night 1;30 in the night- very late!!"
"you know why he remembered that because he was sitting in front of a cooler and at the terrace, it used to be too windy there and it was very nice. hahah! Veebha you see how cute he is!" I smiled remembering his handsome face when she spoke
"And you love him to the core! Right?"
"Yes very much!" I proudly declared.
"I love you both but I love you more when you are together. Stay like that only. Good wishes!" My princess said and I had tears in my eyes while listening to her.
"Oh my Veebhuuu!! I love you too dear!" I hugged her so tight.
"But tumhe vaha sach me insecurity nhi hui...I mean the girls there, they are yearning for his attention!"
"Hui! But ye humara kaam hai. It's our profession. And I'm lucky to have him. Shaheer professional hai and private bhi. He knows how to separate the both. Or upar se vo to khud kehta hai ke hume media me confess karna chaiye. But yaha mai use rok deti hu!"
"Kyu? Kya tum sure nahi ho?"
"I'm! But dar lagta hai. Agar public hone ke bad humare bich kuch kadvahat aagyi..to majak ban jaega!" I confessed. "Or fir kitna hi kaho.. insecurity aa hi jati hai. So pehle mai is sab se cope karna chahti hu..fir ek agla step lenge."
"You are right! I'm happy for you both. May god really bless you with a lifetime of happiness and TOGETHERNESS." She wished and I hugged her as today because of her I felt relieved. So light.
"Thank you so much!! So so much!! Chalo ab mai apne room me jaa rahi hu!" I said while yawning.
I left her room and was walking to mine when suddenly I was pulled. A strong hand gripped mine and pulled me into a dark room as I was walking..!
