Oh top is Red Yellow featuring Ashnoor Kaur and another guy I don't recognize 👀😂.

(Next Morning) *Avu's House*
Avneet POV
Avu: Shut up! Shut up! (Banging on the alarm clock to silence it)
Avu: Who the hell invented these things and WHY!
Jaan: (walking in the room with a breakfast tray) so that dumbass sleepyheads like you don't get yourselves killed by their VERY kind makeup artists!
Avu: ugh! Fine! Whats for breakfast?
Jaan: forgot your new diet so soon? You have a glass of mineral water. And 3 more glasses of mineral water. And then you have 40 minutes to kill before having some green salad and a bowl of yogurt for lunch.
Avu: WHAT THE FUCK! How is his even food? What kinda diet is this?
Jaan: i don't know. Aadaya said its some kinda Japanese Water therapy! She said it will help you lose weight and brighten up your skin!
— I think Aadaya wants me to die of starvation.
Im about to complain but then I remember what my mom had told me. To follow my diet and their orders or they'd hurt Sid.
So without complaining I just drink the goasses of water. One after the other. Putting the last one down and feeling too heavy.
Im pretty sure that was too much water to drink at one go!—
Avu: oh god water has never tasted this bad before.
Jaan: shut up it tastes the same. Its just your mood is bad.
Avu: true that. Now can I go back to sleep?
Jaan: NO! Aadaya said that she wants you over at the dressing room right now!
Avu: but why?
Jaan: go find out yourself!
(Walking down the corridor into the dressing room to find Aadaya with some other ladies Ive never met. Them holding measuring tapes.)
Aadaya: about time you got that fat body here.
— At that I just mentally roll my eyes. At the beginning of my carrier I would feel very hurt when she would insult my body. But at this point Ive just gotten used to it. —
Avu: what do you want me to do?
Aadaya: as you know, we're doing your lingerie shoots from this summer so we just want to take a few of your measurements so we can get appropriately revealing clothing.
— This summer is going to be the worst one ever. Its going to be so disgusting to walk in with those revealing clothing and pose in front of the whole camera crew. Not to mention that my pictures might go up on magazines and billboards. Oh gosh Avneet how disgusting can you get. You should be ashamed of yourself.
"don't worry about a thing. I'm sure I can fix up this Siddhart and your reputation! This Siddharth will understand who he is dealing with once I beet him black and blue. Perhaps then he will come to his senses!"
I wont let that happen. Ill do whatever it takes. Without complaining.—
Avu: sure.
(I just stand still on the stand while the ladies take my measurements.
It seems to take forever and then finally they let me go. I run right back to my room.
Damn how badly Im craving for some pizza right now. That reminds me of the moment when Sid and I went to that restaurant after the amusement park and ate pizza. Those were the good times.
Ugh how I wish I could just time travel back and live that moment again.
That would be wonderful.—
(Faisu walks in)
Faisu: whats up?
Avu: nothing just thinking about... pizza.
(Faisu picks up the salad tray and stuffs some salad in Avu's mouth.)
Avu: (still dreaming about the pizza) so delicious?
Faisu: Yes...
Avu: (suddenly snapping back to reality) YUCK! Whats this! (Taking a salad piece from her mouth)
Faisu: you just keep dreaming about the pizza while I stuff the salad.
Avu: WHAT! But... the pizza! I mean the salad! What is happening.
Faisu: stop daydreaming and eat!
(Avu and Faisu have a long day of modeling and then Avu's alone in her room with her legs aching as she dips them into a warm bucket of water.
Thinking about that amusement park day when they had come across those random people.
'Avneet Kaur! She's with some hot guy... must be her boyfriend!'
Haha... Sid... my boyfriend. In my dreams!
Wait what... I mean no... not in my dreams. Ugh what the hell am I rambling. Someones at the door. Could it be...?—
(Door opens again and Avu looks excitedly at the door expecting to see a very particular someone.
But Jannat walks in.)
Jaan: wow. Disappointed to see me? Expected someone else or what?
Avu: what the hell! No way. Just expected to see some food!
Jaan: (under her breath) sure sure!
— Am I thinking about Sid though? Of course not! Like what the hell. Its not like I can't go a few days without him! You just wait Jannat! I'll prove you wrong!—
Jaan: so... anything you wanna tell me?
Avu: what are you trying right now?
Jaan: hmmm... lets start with that day you ran off from karaoke because you couldn't watch Sid sing with Ash!
Avu: thats not true! I had cramps!
Jaan: we've been through the cramps excuse before. We already have that sorted out!
Jaan: You know that I lost my keychain on that day only! Sach sach bata de!
Avu: Fine! Im in love!
Jaan: you're in what?
Avu: (oh shit! What have I done!) uh! What did I say?
Jaan: (questioningly) I was just asking about the keychain.
Jaan: but... you're in love?
Avu: no Im not. What the hell.
Jaan: Don't even bother lying.
Avu: fine I am... so what. Ugh! Just leave me alone yaar. I'm not feeling sane right now. I think I'm drunk.
Jaan: (yeh ladki pagal hai) alright... how about you get yourself some sleep right now. But don't think that we've got this sorted out!
Avu: now get lost.
~~
Jaan POV
*10:30pm*
— "Im in love." Avu is in love?
Ajeeb sa hai. That cant be. Can it?
Maybe she just isn't feeling alright. I mean... shes dated before... but shes never ever used that word 'love'.
Exactly how well does she even know Siddharth?
To me he's just some random guy who just showed up one day...—
(Thats when I abruptly bump into someone's back in front of me.)
Jaan: (immediately shutting my eyes) Whoa. Im so sorry. I didn't mean to. I was just-
Person: chill out. It's just me. I'm not gonna sue you.
—Thats a familiar voice which I immediately recognize. Faisu.—
Jaan: oh it's you. Thats good. Cuz I thought that I bumped into some random stranger.
Faisu: anyway... whatcha thinking so deeply about?
Jaan: its just Avu. Shes acting weird.
Faisu: Ive notices that too. It's as if she simply cant concentrate on anything.
As if she's constantly lost in thought.
Jaan: yeah. It's weird.
Faisu: what about you?
Jaan: what about me?
Faisu: like... how are you? I guess.
Jaan: I'm good.
Faisu: you don't seem very good. Is something up?
Jaan: Its just my father is not well. On top os that Avu is acting weird. And my mom's worried as hell. And my brother is clueless about everything.
Faisu: you have to calm down. You wanna go somewhere?
Jaan: where?
Faisu: you wanna?
Jaan: I guess I have some time. Cuz everyone will be asleep anyway.
Faisu: great. Come on.
(I just stare at his hand. Not taking it. Until he puts it down.)
Faisu: you don't trust me do you.
Jaan: I guess....
Faisu: fine... just come along.
Jaan: how do I know that you're bot just gonna kill me and throw my body in a ditch?
Faisu: oh gosh! Put your vivid imagination to rest! And besides where the hell would I find a ditch in this metropolitan city!?
Jaan: fair enough I guess.
— I follow him through a few dark alleys until we reach a green park.
As much as I may deny it. I know that I trust him. He just gives out a caring vibe, I guess.
We walk through the park for a while until we reach a few bushes. And then he stops. Then he lifts a curtain of vines and theres a soothing wind which hits me from the other side.—
Faisu: go on. Theres an amazing view.
(I gladly walk in. And thats when time just stops. The cool wind just brushing through me. Moonlight being the inly source of light as it shines upon the silent lake. Unmoving. Unaffected.
Its breathtaking.)
We sit down at a broken stone ledge by the lake water, just staring into the silence.
No one says a word for a while.—
— then I feel the first of several tears roll down my cheeks. Warm wet tears gush down my face.
Then comes a river of ultimate sobs and I secure my head with my hands. I can now feel Faisu sit down next to me as he stares into the distant horizon.
And then back at me. His eyes bothered, as if he doesn't know exactly what to do next.
To be homest I myself don't know what I want him to do next.
So I just keep sobbing. —
Jaan: (Whispering through sobs) I remember that one time my family was at the beach. Together. My mom, I, father and one of my friends, Riza.
I remember throwing sand at Riza as we both ran through the hot sand under the blazing sun.
I still remember my mom calling out to us, "don't go too far kids! Or you'll get lost!". And I replied "Alright mom!"
I don't know whether she heard me that time but I kept running. Riza and I Throwing sand at each other.
Riza was 3years younger that I.
Back then I was somewhere around 7and I think Riza was 4.
We didn't know how far we'd gotten. Thats when she ha to use the washroom. And I let her use the one that was just nearby- the sea. (Like who hasn't peed in the sea. Be honest.)
I was a rather distracted child back then. Tiny things would simply catch my attention. So like an average 5year old. I stared down at the shells.
There were so many. Of various bright colors.
I started collecting them.
And I heard a call from Riza. "Jannat! Come play in the water with me!"
And I went over to the water, dropping all the shells.
We splashed each other for a while until we decided on a swimming race back to my parents. I took a head start and started to swim towards the direction of my parents. I was almost half way there when I looked back.
Riza was gone.
I looked all over the beach. Calling out her name.
Thats when I found her coming out of the restroom looking traumatized. Absolutely petrified.
She was pale. And had a few bruises on her. We were very young that time, we didn't know what was happening.
After that the Riza I knew was not the same Riza.
A few mobths after that, Riza went missing.
Her body was never found. But she was officially declared dead.
That was the first fineral I attended. At it was of my best friend. My only friend at that time.
(I start sobbing more. Tears gushing down my eyes as I felt Faisu's hands wrap me into a warm embrase. Friendly and comforting.)
Faisu: you dont have to say anything else.
Jaan: but I never got to help her.
Faisu: I know what it feels like to lose someone. I know it feels like one day she was there, the next she was gone.
It's impossible to accept and I understand that.
Its a feeling of pure helplessness.
— I feel his hand gently patting my back to calm me down. Its comforting.
And then it all clicks.
Why am I here! And with Faisu. If someone sees us peopel will make rumors out of it. The. avu will ask questions. Her parents will kill me. Ill lose my job. And the trust of my best friend.
I will not do the same mistake of breaking someone's trust. Letting them go.
I immediately pull out of the hug coldly.—
Jaan: excuse me. I just realized that you have no right to hug me! Or bring me here!
Why did you bring me here?! I should have been back at home or at the hospital looking after my father.
Its all your fault!
Don't talk to me again! You're just gonna ruin my life! Stay away from me. You're not my boyfriend!
Faisu: (in an annoyed tone) FINE I WILL!
--I start to run away back the way we came. Through the winding dark alleys as tears threaten to roll down my eyes.
I shouldn't have reacted like that. He did nothing wrong. Oh gosh. He must have felt so hurt.
Should I go back and apologize?
(Turning back at the dark alley)
Perhaps I will apologize later. Tomorrow. --
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vomment!
My apologies for the slightly late update...
How was the chap?
Thanks for all the followers btw:) Ik it sounds kinda dumb considering I have like 50... but even fame starts small right ;)
Question: is it going to be a good Idea to add a few more Sidneet moments for Sana and Sid? Like go back a few chaps and add a few more chaps there... would that be a good idea or should I just continue from here? 🤔👀
Well, until I write again,
