Their jinxed love - Part 17

The viewership of show had grown drastically across the globe. It had surpassed the TRPs of it's previous seasons. Every household had fixed slot to watch the show. Women finished their work at homes as well as office(if they were working) quickly to watch the show. Men sacrificed their favorite matches for the program. Kids finished their homework and plays to sit and glue their eyes in front of TV. Senior citizens would not let anyone change the channel when the show started.

Since the telecast of first episode,  two groups of fans were formed. One supported Danny while other supported Gaurav. There was huge war of hashtags between these groups on social media. Gajendra was delighted with the response. He had finally achieved what he wanted. However he was anxious to retain his show's standing. He didn't want anything to affect his show's TRP.  

Gaurav sat on his plush sofa watching the minutes of the news. Visuals of news anchor discussing about the affect  of Corona virus in China displayed on TV while Gaurav was engrossed in thought about Jenny's one to one talk with Danny. He was still upset about the episode. He wanted to call her and blast her for playing with Danny's mind. But he controlled his urge. Suddenly he got up and switched TV off. He rushed downstairs to basement where his car was parked. 

He sped his vehicle towards Jenny's house. When he reached, he got out of his car and was about to head towards the gate. He stopped. He looked up at the balcony of her bedroom. She was there in her casual pink top and white shorts. She was bare foot and her eyes were closed. He stared at her calm face and he couldn't help wonder when was the last time he had seen her so peaceful. He wanted to hold her in his arms and kiss her forehead. He was heartbroken instantly when he realized they had broken up.


She felt nice when cold wind blew over the back of her neck. She slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised to find Gaurav waiting near his car. He was staring at her. When he realized he was caught red handed by her, he quickly got inside the car and drove back home. He felt ashamed of driving to her house at this hour and staring at her like psychotic stalker.

Next day it was shooting of elimination round. Instead of heading to her vanity van, Jenny barged into Gaurav's vanity van. He looked at her in shock. "What the hell were you doing at my place in the night?", she growled. He was offended. "Nothing ! Why ? It's free country. I can travel anywhere. By the way, I was on pavement which is government property and not at your house.", he argued. "Look at your audacity, you come to my place and stare at me with those hungry eyes and say I have all the right. How dare you?", she snarled. "How dare you too? You have audacity to use our personal conversation and manipulate a contestant against me.", he growled back. His eyes turned red with fury. Her expressions changed. "I had come to your place to confront you. But I left it there. I didn't find it appropriate to grind you at that time unlike you who shamelessly barged into my van to blame me for my audacity.",he continued. She looked at him speechlessly.
