4. Connection

โœฟChapter-4โœฟ

Ishana walked inside the temple with her friends behind her. They three bowed their head in front of the shivling of shiv.

After doing the prayers they walked out to move around the temple.

"Wow yaar see these wall sculptures, how beautiful they are" Ishana said excitedly as she ran towards the wall.

"They looks beautiful isn't"

Ishana asked smiling softly looking at the sculptures. They were built with so much detailed that was making it look more mesmerising.

"Guys see here, this one looks like a man and woman, like they are painted together"

Niharika said grabbing their attention as the other two walked towards her.

"Haan yaar kitne Sundar lag rhe hai, hai nn"

(Yes, see how beautiful they are looking)

Kashish said caressing the sculptures.

"Look there is the name written"

Niharika said as Ishana looked in the direction she was pointing.

"Ansh"

"Isha"

Ishana and Ekansh whispered respectively. They both were standing on the each side of the wall as the wall was acting like a barrier between them.

The name sounds familiar to them. There was a different feeling when they took the name.

Ekansh raised his hands to touch the sculptures as at the same time Ishana took touched it.

"Aaaahh"

"Aaaahh"

They both screamed pulling back as soon as the burning sensation hit to both of their skins.

"What happened Ishu?" Kashish asked as Ishana back offed from the wall.

"I don't know suddenly I felt like my skin started to burn" Ishana said looking at the wall with a frown on her face.

With shaky hands she again touched the call but this time it was all okay, she didn't felt like before.

"Strange"

She mumbled frowning.

"How is this possible "

"What happened?"

Niharika asked when she saw her mumbling something to herself.

"Nothing let's go"

Shaking her head Ishana walked back as the other two followed her with a confused look.

"What happened Ekansh ?"ย 

My mother, Suhani Rathore says as soon as I screamed touching the wall.

She came running towards me as she held my arms turning me to herself.

"What happened? Why did you scream?"

Her hands cupped my cheeks.

"Nothing it's just-" " Maharaj did you feel something while touching the wall"

I stared at the purohit being shocked.

How did he know?

"Ekansh?"

"It's nothing mom it's just when I touched this wall I just felt something burning my skin"

I said as her expression turned tensed.

"Maharaj can you please touch the call again" Purohit asked as I nodded before doing so.

"How is this possible"

I mumbled when I didn't felt anything now.

"What is happening with our Ekansh purohit ji"ย  Sunaina, my Chachi said being concerned.

Aahh these ladies. God why they have to be tensed this much.

"Purohit ji you said he will be married before he turns thirty but see he is still unmarried, and he is turning thirty in three months"

I sighed hearing my mom not again the same topic.

"Trust me Rani sa Maharaj will get married before he turns thirty, I have seen his kundali, his stars are in a good place. And she has already entered his life "

My steps halted hearing his last words as I was going out. Pooja has already done so my mother wanted me to get blessings from Mahadev so she and Chachi bring me here.

She has already entered his life !

His words rang in my mind as I walked.

Isha

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Ishana

What? How did she come here?

"Ahh you girl look where you are going"

I turned back hearing my mom's angry voice.

She was yelling at a girl, who looks in hurry. Her face was covered with the scarf hiding her features from me.

Why she seems so much familiar?

"Sorry aunty" saying she literally ran from there as my mom glared at her.

~~

"Kids these days, don't even know how to walk and can you believe she was in a frock that too in a temple"

I sighed walking towards my study. Since we have come back my mother is chanting the same line again and again.

It's not she is against by the dressing of a girl, it's just she didn't like that girl wearing a frock in the temple. According to her she should have wear something traditional.

My phone pinged with a message making me look at the screen.

Msg- They are leaving.

- you know what to do now.

Typing the text I pressed the send button keeping my cell back on the table.

(A/N : this is just a fictional thing, I don't want to hurt anyone emotion or thinking, no offense)

"I don't know what's been happening with me since I came to Jaipur-

Sometimes I feel I belong to this place but how's it possible when I have come here for the very first time"

I ran my hands frustratingly throughout my hair.

"Calm down Ishu, you are just over thinking about it, just relax your mind"

"It's not like that, Kashu trust me I'm saying the truth yaaar, I feel connected from this place"

I sighed looking at them.

"It's okay, everything will be okay don't cry"

She wiped my tears. Wait- when in the first place I started to cry and the most important why? Why am I even crying?

Aaaaaa

Why I'm like this crying without any reason!

I am Ishana Chauhan and Ishana Chauhan doesn't cry !

"You remember when we went to look around the streets of Jaipur, I was feeling like I had come here before in fact, I fucking know the directions bitch"

I yelled.

"If you are feeling good here we will leave, anyway Vihaan has already called me nth times asking to come back, so it is done"

"What no kashu-"

"It's final now Ishu"

She declared before walking back into her more. I looked at Nih with a cry face as she passed me the very same look.

Why does she behave like a mumma sometimes !

I whinced stomping my foot.

~~

"Alashh"

I sighed resting my head on the head rest as the car started. This well was so much tiering. I didn't thought this would goes like this.

After coming from Jaipur last week, I got engrossed with the shooting of my new movieย  'Superstar'. It's based on a middle class girl who turn out to be a singer with her hard work.

I like the plot on the very first look only, so decided to work in the movie but we say nn if the project is good then there will be so many investers, so just liek that there were so many actresses, wanting to get this role.

Only I know how much effort I had to got this one. I'm glad that the director of this movie, Mr Kashyap is a genuine guy. He is in his late fifties with grey hair.ย  He is really down to a eath type man. He treats me like his daughter, he isn't like the other directors that we have in the film industry that I liked the most about him.

My phone rings suddenly interupting my thoughts as picked the call smiling looking at the caller I'd.

"Yesss mummaa"

I grinned picking the call. Though I was angry with her last week, but of course I can't be angry with my mumma for more that a hour, and here it was talk of a week, which was not in dictionary ofcourse.

"When you will be back Ishu you know nn today is Vihaan's engagement"

Mumma spoke into the as I smiled hearing her tone.

Ahh how much she is always in hurry.

My cute mumma !

"Mumma I'll be there in 20, mein nikal gyi hu"

"Okay come soon"

( I'm on my way )

I nodded as if she could see, as the call got cut.

I got out of the car after exactly thirty minutes, as the car pulled onto the porch of the Chauhan mansion.

Ahh I am damn sure mumma gonna beat me blue and black. Bending down I took my heels in my hand as I walked inside the living room tip-toeing.

"Ishana Chauhan you girl come here"

"No mummaa"

I ran towards my room as soon as I heard mumma yelling.

~~

"Thank God bhabs you came otherwise I was getting bored without my munchkin"

I said pinching the cheeks of my 2 year old nephew Ahaan, son of my big brother Arjun and Amaira bhabhi. They are one of the most sweetest couple I have seen. They are so much in love, that we all see every morning. How bhai will be in the kitchen since morning trailing behind bhabhi, with lame excuses but we all knows better why he is there.

Cute isn't?

Bhabhi had gone to her parents house for 15 days with our munchkin and let me tell you without him the whole house isn't feel like a house.

"Bui"

Ahaan cupped my trying to get my attention.

"Yes my ahu"

"Bui this"

"You want Bui to wear this"

I asked looking at necklace that he has picked up in his tiny hands, as he nodded his head grinning.

As I didn't had time to go for shopping, but I was glad I already had shopped for dresses but jewelleries were left so mom called our family jeweller home already. So here we are choosing a necklace for us.

"Okay done mumma I'll be wearing this" I said passing the necklace to mumma.

As she smiled at looking at the necklace.

Ahh. I knew it they gonna like it after all my munchkin has choosen it.

"Ishana can you please made Ahaan ready actually I have to-" " I got it bhabhi what work you have, enjoy "

I laughed walking towards my room with Ahaan in my arms but not before winking at her as I passed a teasing to look to Arjun bhai who glared at me, but I cared less.

I love teasing the couples in my family and right now these two are on top of my list. Vihaan bhai and Arjun bhai.

"Let's go Ahu we gonna sleep now"

"Yaaayyy"

He grinned hugging me, wrapping his tiny hands around my neck. He is just like me, or we can say that I made him just like me. We sleep together, watch shin chan and doraemon together, eat together.

"Not now Ishana, if you slept then you won't be going to wake up soon"

I heard mumma yelling but opps she got late, I was already inside my room.

~~

"Ishu wake up...Ishu"

"Arghh Let me sleep nn "

I groaned turning on the bed hugging my pillow.

"Ishu badi ma gonna come here anytime soon and if she saw you sleeping like this, she gonna beat you"

I put the pillow over my ear hearing the same man yelling in my ears again.

Suddenly water fall on my face.

"Oh my god flood-"

My words halted as realisation hit me. I was in my room sleeping so how come flood come there.

Babe Ishu it can !

I looked at the person with fire in my eyes who threw water on me as my eyes land on the empty bucket beside the bed.

"Dhruvvv bhaiii" I yelled knowing whom it might.

"Don't yell now, I did asked you to wake up nicely but it was you who choosed this"

"Why you came back from Italy on the first place? Does there's government kicked you out of that country?"

"You chutki-"

"Dhruv"

I grinned when I saw chachi standing on the door.

"Go downstairs, Ahaan is troubling all of us, go and handle him and Ishu beta go get ready soon guests have already come see the time beta and if di came here she gonna be so angry"

I nodded at chachi before going there, but suddenly something hit me.

"Chachi Ahu-?" "Ahh he woke up so I made him ready now you go and hurry up and you remember nn today we are going to announced it"

She said as I sighed before going inside.ย  I did try to make them understand, not to disclosed my identity but this to me teby didn't hear me.

Ahh!

~~

I stared at my figure in the mirror caressing the fabric of my dress. The red fabric was hugging my body like the second skin, showing my perfect curves.

You look hot Ishu !

I grinned at myself appreciating me. Being an actress isn't an easy task, you have to leave your favourite food, have to do lots of excercise, gym, yoga and what not.

Ahh !

The best thing I like about myself is my whole self. Amazing isn't it?

My phone pinged with a message as I picked it up to see what's it about.

It's a picture that mom has taken last night and posted it on her Instagram page, that papz has taken as a message attached with it.

ย  ย ย  "When all your kids are at homeโค๏ธ"

Are we going to meet Chauhan's princess soon?

This was line trending with as the hashtag along with her post.

Ahh !

Not again !

I was sitting on the ground in this picture so my back was turned towards the camera and bhabhs, Arjun bhai, Vihaan bhai and Dhruv bhai was sitting on the couch. I didn't knew when mom took this picture.

But it's a cute one though !

~~

"Ms Ishana"

"What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expected you to be here"

I turned hearing the voice and saw Virat, Virat Tripathi standing there. He is a actor. I have heard many of my co-stars saying that he wants favours from his co-actors of actress, I don't know if it is true or not but I just don't like his vibe.

"Hello to you too sir" I greeted him with a smile. Though hower he is, but he is a senior to me and I always greets my seniors with respect so here he is getting that.

"How are you?"

"I'm good what about you sir?" I smiled back at him, his eyes roaming on my body making me smirk.

Ahh just men !

Mentally I rolled my eyes

"I'm good too as you can see and don't call me sir, it feels I'm too old" He laughed as I fake smiled at him.

If you ain't old that what you are you oldie?

"By the way you here how come?"

"Why can't I be here?" I passed him a cocking look but laughed to cover my tone as he too laughed.

"Ahh no no, you should be ofcourse "

"Exactly " I smiled and looked at my phone who started to ring.

"Ahh if you will excuse me" Smiling I walked towards the corner, behind the pillars as I sat on the chair there beside Niharika.

"Thank you so much Nih, you called other I don't what will have I done to him"

"It's fine, you should have texted me long back, as he came Ishu" I smiled at her and too hug in a hug.

"Ahh what would have happened to me If I didn't have you two yaar, Love you guys"

"Aahh move back you will ruin my hair" I laughed looking at her expressions as she too started laughing.

I was in the party, and the engagement has already done. And here peoples were coming to greet me or to say, how come I am here. They were surprised to see me. Of course thinking how can a mere actress be here in Chauhan's party.

I did ask mumma that can I go back now but she just glared at me and goes back.

Ahh!

And this dress I don't want to wear this, I have already taken off my necklace due to the irritation that my skin was having when it was around my necklace.

Ahh sorry Ahu ! But you know bui don't wear these things.

I turned when I felt someone tapping my shoulders and frowned to see the person standing there.

"Bhai I have heard that Ishana Chauhan is also here"

"Really but where she is? And who told one"

"I heard people taking, and even they have already meet her Abhay bhai and I too wanted to meet her" I rolled my eyes at Tanmay's and Abhay's talks.

"Who is this Ishana Chauhan?"

"Badi ma you don't know? That Actress Ishana Chauhan"

I stares at my mother hearing her.

Since when she started taking interest in Bollywood?

We were here to attend the engagement party of one of my client Vihaan Chauhan. The engagement was already done and she was the same girl who was with Ishana.

May be she can be here too.

I was going back when Mahendra Chauhan said that he is going to announce something so he was all of us to wait.

"Bhai see there she is sitting there, I'll just go and meet her"

Tanmay said excitedly as he went in the same direction where he pointed. We all looked in that direction and there she was, sitting with her other friends.

"Is that Niharika Thakur?"

"OMG she is that only"

Now Abhay too.

I didn't know my brother were this much crazy for these two.

"She is Ishana Chauhan?" I looked at mom as she sounds off.

"She is the same girl, who bumped into me" she shakes her head.
