Can I court you?

Samantha's pov

"Sammy!"

O god, not again please

"Yes, molly,"

"Sammy, i really need your help."

"I can't lie to your parents again. I hate it when i have to lie. I once helped you, not again."

"Hey, you are my bestfriend and It's first time, i drink. My parents would killed me if they know about it."

"Okay, but what about you did in my apartment? Your awful singing had almost tear up my ears."

"You can't blame me. I don't have much alcho-"

Ggrrr, Ggrrr

"What the fuck was that?"

"Sammy, Please give me a moment and wait for me. Don't go."

Well, She is molly, my crazy bestfriend. She and her love for spicy food has always brings me trouble. I have already warned her to not eat anything spicy in workplace and trust me, after my lots lots of effert, she listens to me. But when she is like super nervous, she can't help it. Me and molly both are in broadcasting journalism department. We met on college and after that we are inseparable.

We both are from same department but our work are slightly different. My work is live broadcasting of anything that is happening in our country and interview people. Due to my work, i have to travel a lot. Some time people are so agressive of media that they start attaching us. But that's our job to bring the truth in front of people.

Last time there's was a very tragic car and truck accident happen and there's a family in car who are all dead. We happen to found that the truck driver is drunk driving. When we reached to the spot for interview people, asking about accident. They just simply denied it. We got suspicious about it because where the accident happen, it was busy road. It is impossible that no one has saw accident. We can't simply let it slide. The dead who need justice and we had to disclose the truth. After our investigation we found that they threatened kill the people. One thing confirm that their is more of this story. Those people are really strong or someone strong is helping them. Lastly we found that a politician is helping them and they are in drug dealing. Now they are all arrested with that politician.

This the the case, that we showed people but there's one part that they don't know. We are also threatened. I had received a lot of threatening message. I know how those days i was so scared in apartment. I couldn't sleep at night. What can i say, i love my job. It is exciting, adventurous and thrilling.

Enough of these talk, molly has finally returned from her long lasting journey.

"Care to explain?" I asked crossing my hand.

"Hey, don't be angry. I had gone to fresh air but then i find momo stale. I hope you understand." She said trying to hide her face. Something is fishy.

"How many?" I said raising my eyebrows.

She started showing me with her fingers.

One, two , three, four...

There's more

Five, six

"Are you out of your mind? Who eat six plate momo?" This girl really testing my patience.

"Sorry na." She said poking my arm and giving me puppy eyes. Her round and big eyes look beautiful even with glasses. How can i say no to her.

"Tell me exactly what happened." Like i said, when she is too nervous. She has eat something to calm her mind.

"I will tell you everything but i need your little help. Please take the interview on my behalf. My stomach is not feeling well. Please please. I promise, i will tell you everything. "

"What about rajan sir?" He is in charge of department. We can't just last minute swipe up. Let me tell you, he is big time asshole.

"I have talked with boss. He agrees, so don't think about that dickhead." She literally shoved the interview question in my hand.

"You had planned it all along. You owe me big time Molly Tripathy."

"Now go, lets talk about it after the interview." She winked at me. Why i feeling, i am being trapped.

Now you all know that molly is from entertainment department. Now i am stuck with it. Let's just get over it.

"Miss sharm, everything is ready."

All cameras and lights are set. I had personally checked it again. I want everything perfect. If she had told me earlier, i had prepared for it. Now i don't even know the name of person whose interview i gonna take. Pretty fucked up

Three chairs are placed, one for me and two for the people coming here, with a table in the middle with three cup of coffee, that is very much needed. It is pretty late. They had to go for promotion of their film. That's why interview is being held at 8 pm. If i say, 8 pm is not late for city like mumbai. I am just too tired today. I want to go back to my apartment and sleep.

Let's just get it over

"Who are coming?" I didn't know whose interview i am taking. At least they came before i will prepare myself.

"Shweta bhatiya amd Rehyan kapoor."

Am i hearing right?

Rehyan kapoor as in Rehyan kapoor whose new movie is coming.

Mera wala Rehyan kapoor

Oh shut up, sammy

I had a huge crush on this person.

How can i interview him?

Molly ki bacchi, i hate you.

He is coming here. I will see him in person. I will talk to him.

O my goodness

What will i do?

I hope i don't shutter like manic.

He is coming for interview. I have to maintain my professionalism. I can't get too excited.

"Miss sharma"

He is coming.

"Miss sharma"

Give me a moment, you idiot.

"Sammy!!"

"Yes, what happened?"

"Where are lost? I had called you so many times."

"I am just questioning the check."

"What? What are you saying?"

O god, get a grip girl

Deep breath

"I am checking the questions."

"Look they are here."

Sammy, you can do it.

Take a deep breath girl

My goodness, He looks more hot in person. Picture doesn't justice his looks.

White shirt, black pants, just the way i like.

Jaan hi lelo meri

Okay okay, deep breath

"Hii, are you miss tripathy." Shweta asked forwarding her hand.

"Sorry, miss tripathy is not feeling well. I am samantha sharma. I will be taking your interview." I said shaking her hand.

"Sorry for inconvenience. Samantha!." I forward my hand to him for shake. I am happy that i am not shuttering like fool.

Just continue like this. You got this

"It's alright. Rehyan kapoor."

God, his voice

"Please seat." I said directing them to the chairs.

After checking everything set, i give team thumbs up to start the. camera. First they introduced themselves with name of character they are playing in the movie.

Interview has started. I asked them a lot of question about their upcoming movie. It is going good. Well i am that that much distracted.

"We have watched the trailer. It's pretty good. It gives so much 90s vibe. Tell me more about movie."

"It's rom-com. Like you said this is giving 90s vibe because it is based on 90s love story. It is about a village boy falling in love with different caste. This story is about how their love blossom, how they write letters to each other, how they secretly meet each other and how they fight against these conservative society for their love." I can hear him all day, never be bore.

"It's beautiful love story."

"It is."

I am definitely gonna watch this movie. As much as these generation love story but their something different in 90s love story. The secretly meeting each other, the letter with their cologne, the first meeting, holding hand, how beautiful is this. Even the imagination is giving me butterflies.

"Which love do prefer, the 90s one or like today's time?"

"If I had to choose: '90s love.

Because it wasn't just about falling in love—it was about staying in love. That kind of devotion, where two people grew together, survived together, and didn’t let algorithms define their destiny… it’s rare, but beautiful." He replied. I kind of agree with him.

I stared at him, completely lost in those words. Staying in love, he said. Not falling—staying.

Damn, why does his voice have to be that deep? Like hot chocolate on a rainy day.

And me? I am just a walking momo with a mic.

Before I knew it, the next words slipped from my mouth—no filter, no brain. Just pure, unprocessed heart attack.
