Mag-log inIt has been 2 days since the truth and dare game. I can still easily recall the touch of her lips and it still sends shivers in my body. I am not sure why I keep remembering that simple kiss. It was not even some mind-boggling out of the world experience. It was just one simple small kiss and not even my first time kissing Pihu. We kissed in almost every episode of our series. We even shot love making scene. So, one small kiss is almost nothing.
“if it was nothing then why do you keep remembering it.” That small voice in my head which I have since named N-Virat (short of nagging Virat) asked sweetly.
“I don’t know and don’t you start nagging again. I am already confused” I said trying to shut him up.
“I think you are falling in love with Pihu” suddenly Pratham’s words came to me.
“This cannot happen. This house is effecting me. I will not think about any of this. Virat you need to be strong. A little stint like this cannot impact your mental health. I should start my exercise and yoga regime. Lack of proper blood flow to the brain must be effecting my thought process and I need to maintain some distance from Pihu. Seeing her too much everyday doesn’t seem good for my mental health. Yes, this is the best solution.
“Virat, how many hours are you going to exercise? It is already 30 minutes. I am getting bored. Let’s play some game.” Pihu said.
“ Hi Pihu, I need to complete my exercise routine and yoga meditation. It will take another 1.5 hours. Please go ahead with your game. I will not be able to join.”
“But you were not doing this till yesterday. Can you not do it please? I am getting bored.”Pihu again tried to pull me.
“ Pihu, don’t do it. You will end up hurting yourself or me like this. Gym equipments should be handled carefully. This is not some game for your amusement” I said a little too harshly then was required.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to” said Pihu in the small voice.
She is clearly hurt from my behavior and my heart pain is suddenly back with crippling sensation. I just sit down on the ground.
“Virat, what happened? Why did you suddenly sit down.” Asked concerned Pihu.
“Nothing Pihu. I think I am dehydrated because of exercising rigorously after 2 weeks. I will have some water and take some rest.” I said gently.
“Are you sure?” said Pihu still looking concerned.
“Yes. Are you not going to play game? I thought you were bored.” I said teasingly.
“No. I want to stay with you. I get bored when I am not with you. I feel happy just by your nearness.” Said Pihu seriously.
“What are you trying to say Pihu? You are not making any sense right now.”
“ I like you Virat but don’t feel obligated to respond in any way because I have liked you since last two years and it is my problem nothing to do with you.” Said Pihu very seriously.
Pihu likes me for real. It is hitting me so hard. I am stunned and my mind has literally stopped working. Pihu likes me. Why? Ofcourse she doesn’t like you. You are not likable. Did you forget? You are the worst human being. People bearing with you are doing you a favor. Liking you will make them God. Even god will find it difficult to like you. Did you forget? Why are you saying this? It is not true. Pihu likes me. She said she likes me. She was just saying it to increase the trp of the show. You are in a show, did you forget this as well. You are also mock fighting with Akash. Pihu is just playing her character. And you thought she likes for real. Ha ha ha. Nooooo.
“Virat, Viraaatt. What are you thinking? I called you several times.”
“ Huh, no nothing. You don’t need to say such things just for trp. I know we are on a reality show. But we don’t need to project romantic image. That we already have from our last series” I said.
“ You think I am saying this for TRP. Why would I sell my heart for just some TRP? Do you really think so lowly about me? Is this my image in your mind? A girl who can go to any limit for TRP. Really Virat. I am not sure I should pity your poor thinking or should be angry with you. Please don’t talk to me till we are in this house. I feel dirty by your thought process.” Pihu said with angry tears.
“Pihu, no no, please listen to me. I am really sorry. Please Pihu I am really sorry. Please.”
“Virat leave me alone please”
I am never going to listen to you. Pihu really likes me. I knew this but you put this ugly thought in my mind. Now she is angry with me. What should I do? I cannot bear her to be angry with me. Now I feel like crying myself. What should I do? She will never speak to me now.
Another two weeks have passed and tomorrow we will be evicted together from the house as was planned by the Producers.Pihu and I have been together almost every waking hour. She is so sorted in her mind. Always clear about her thoughts and feelings. We are so different. I am always overthinking and confused about my feelings. Though my life and future has always been well planned and I follow my planning strictly to achieve my life goals but same I can never claim about my feelings. On the other hand, Pihu literally lives in the moment. She doesn’t even plan her day properly.We were talking about future and investments and she has almost none except for the bare minimum which she was forced to do for taxes. How can a person not think and secure their future. She has no idea where she has spent all her money. Except for car payment and recurring deposit which her father has forced her to do, there is no account about all the money spent. I was baffled when s
“Virat, why are you crying? What happened? Are you missing your family? Son, talk to me.” Said Richa Mam. She is the senior most in the house. She was the top actress of her time in late 80s.“Huh. I am not crying Mam. Must be some dust in my eyes.”“Virat. I have children of your age. I can easily tell when someone has allergy and when they are crying. It is fine if you don’t want to share. But you don’t need to cry alone. I am there. Think of me as your mother.” Said Richa Mam kindly.My control on tears slipped after listening to her and I started bawling like a little boy. She just hugged me and said nothing. After 5 whole minutes, I was feeling so much better.“Virat, are you crying? Varsha said you are crying your heart out.” Pihu came running.“No Pihu. I just have dust in my eyes. But thank you for caring.”“Ohh Virat.” Pihu just hugged me tight and sat beside me.I am feeling like all energy has come back to me.

“I will spin the bottle. Everyone sit in a circle please.” Pihu said excitedlyBottle pointed to everyone and eventually it pointed to Pihu. I really wanted to know what she will reveal or do because nothing is impossible for Pihu. More I know about her more curious I get.Now I know that she started acting in TV series and films when she was just 4 years old. Her whole childhood was spent going from one studio to another. She enjoys acting a lot and wants to do all different kind of roles. But she couldn’t enjoy her childhood and was always envious of other children from her neighbourhood. So, her children will not start any kind of work till they are atleast 15-16 years old.Her parents are not bad people but her working was necessary because they do not belong to high earning class. However, they never forced her to do anything against her wishes. She loves her little sister so much. Her words not mine. She is studying to be a doctor and Pihu is very
“Virat, let’s play truth or dare. Come see everyone is playing. Come please.” Pihu urged“Ok”Another 5 days are gone. These days my life has started revolving around whatever Pihu wants me to do and fighting with Akash and his gang.Yesterday, she got me to swim with her. Before that she wanted to eat something good. So, I ended up cooking for the entire house.We are also participating in each task and as usual fighting and destroying everything. I have not forgotten my aim of coming in this hellhole.I sometimes think that I would not have achieved my aim had it not been Pihu to keep me grounded. I am not sure why I never noticed that she looks so beautiful in Indian ethnic wear. No doubt her historical drama was so successful. Audience must have found it impossible to change the television channel after getting even a glimpse of her.2 days back, we had a task where she and I had to play king and queen while others had
5 days have passed. I have fought with Akash every single day and at one time, we even pushed each other. I have destroyed every task given to us and one time even broken furniture. This is now getting tiring. I am not sure I can survive whole month.On the other hand, Pihu is now friends with both groups - Akash and anti-Akash. Everyone loves her and she has somehow become anchor to me. I sometimes think I will go mad if she is not there.I am not feeling good since morning. How can I stoop so low to just change my image. I don’t what was I thinking coming to this hellhole. What kind of actor am I if I need to trick audience using this stupid reality show. I must not be a good actor, this is the reason Rakesh Sir wanted me to come to this show. Everyone wants to get rid of me. I know I am not the most pleasant person but am I so bad? Yes, Virat noone even wants to see your face in person that kind of worst person you have become. Do you remember how you spoke badl
