Part 8...
Sorry for the late update, I was swamped...
I hope you'll enjoy this installment. ArJa and JaHaan will be used interchangeably in the story, but I prefer the latest acronym JaHaan for Arhaan and Pooja..❤️

Arhaan and Pooja had found the current track in the show to be incredibly challenging. They had worked long hours and preferred each other's company during their few hours of rest. Pooja had made Arhaan feel very comfortable with her social media BTS clips, and they would do some clips for fans, especially with the heavy track and all guns pointed at Pratigya for hurting Krishna, and their constant sad messages about Krishna and Pratigya separating, JaHaan tried to cheer their fans.
Finally, Arhaan and Pooja were informed that the next sequence would be Krishna's revelation about Amma's ruse. The scripts were read aloud, and the director explained the emotional scene that followed the revelation to JaHaan.
JaHaan sat in the garden where the scene would be shot. Arhaan was lost in his reading of the script and internalization of the emotions. Pooja caught him looking at her with a warm smile a few times; she tried hard to focus, but was distracted by his gaze, which was soft at times and intense at others. Pooja was aware that Arhaan was rehearsing the scene; they had done so before, but his gaze distracted her this time. She was affected.
‘Rather hot in here,' she said, pulling out her hand fan and holding it to her face.
Arhaan did not respond because he was still engrossed in his script. Arhaan felt the cool breeze and looked at her, nodding and thanking her as she held the fan between them.
Malika, one of the crew members, was amused by the sight of Pooja holding a hand fan in between them and snapped a photo. ‘Will share this with Pooja later,' she thought as she heard the director yell for the shot to be prepared.
Now that JaHaan had learned the dialogues, it was time to film the emotional scene. They knew this was a crucial scene because it was a KriYa union, and it had to be moving.
Arhaan and Pooja requested time from the director because they needed to rehearse the scene once before the shoot. The director agreed as he knew that when ever they did this session of theirs, they created sheer magic onscreen.
JaHaan walked away from the crew to a quiet spot in the garden. They stood in front of each other and exchanged glances. They remained like that for a few moments before tightly hugging each other. They felt compelled to feel and mirror the emotions of Krishna and Pratigya, two people who love each other deeply and have endured so much pain and suffering apart from each other, and now that they are reunited, they finally get the chance to be in each other's arms, something they thought would never be possible. Their tears washed away their feelings of guilt and pain. JaHaan transformed into KriYa and rehearsed the scene. When they were finished, they signaled for the cameras to begin rolling.
'Cut it! Excellent Arhaan and Pooja, that was so moving,' the director said, passing a tissue to one of the crew members, Mehreen, who was moved to tears by the performance unfolding in front of her. 'Brilliant,' she cried as she clapped her hands, and the rest of the crew applauded JaHaan.
JaHaan were pleased with the shot, and they smiled at each other. They were overjoyed when they received the director's applause, which was no easy feat.
‘This calls for a celebration,' Arhaan said to Pooja, his gaze fixed on the crew's clapping hands.
‘Certainly,' Pooja replied, her gaze now fixed on him. He looked nice in that black shirt, and she wanted to compliment him, but she felt awkward. The actor within her was unsure whether it was Pratigya or herself who was feeling this way! She smiled and thought to herself, "I could be really silly at times.’
Pooja was overjoyed; the day had been fantastic, and now that Krishna and Pratigya had reconciled, her social media messages would be more positive. She told Arhaan about it, and he only smiled back. He wasn't much of a social media user; she recalled his last post being on the day they watched the sunset together. He hasn't changed at all, she thought to herself; he avoided the media even back then.
It was decided to pack up. Pooja approached Arhaan, saying, 'Celebration time.'
'Kya karey?' Pooja inquired. ‘Dinner?' she suggested, noting that it was evening and that dinner would be served soon. ‘Let me think,' Arhaan said, looking at his watch. He suddenly remembered something Asish had told him a week before. Pooja gave him a puzzled look as he looked at Pooja, then at his watch, then at his phone.
Arhaan finally said, 'I have a better plan. We'll have dinner with the team, then be ready by 10 p.m. and meet me in the lobby, all right?' Arhaan inquired.
‘All right, but where are we heading?' Pooja asked.
‘You'll see, I've heard about this place and...' Pooja cut him off before he could finish. ‘Don't tell me it's one of your Drishyam Nagri project,' Pooja scoffed.
Arhaan gave her a hurt expression. ‘No, we won't get lost this time, and I've been there with Asish before, but we didn't accomplish what we went there for, and...'
‘Ok Ok,' Pooja chuckled, ‘I was just kidding Araan, meet you at the lobby at 10 p.m.', she said as she exited for her room.
