Rumors were spreading like wildfire all around the country that MC Stan, the rapper, and Alia Bhatt, the talented and very pretty actress, were spending time alone. Even though it was baseless, the story gained traction and turned into national news, as it was considered one of the most unusual couples ever. The entertainment media was all over it, asking everyone in both industries for confirmation. Those who knew both parties had no knowledge of the situation, while those who didn't know them confirmed and congratulated them. The main sources remained elusive and reluctant to talk about it.
Initially, Alia and Stan didn't pay much attention to the rumors, as they knew there was nothing between them. However, the overwhelming attention the news was receiving made it impossible to ignore. Alia was asked countless times what had happened in the vanity van, to which she repeatedly answered, "Nothing." However, everyone interpreted her silence as an attempt to hide something.
On the other hand, MC Stan didn't care about the rumors but enjoyed the attention they brought. He had never considered having an affair with Alia, but he relished the fact that people were believing it. Whenever someone asked about the rumor, he simply ignored it. However, due to the constant buzz, he couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if it were true. He found himself daily searching for Alia's photos on the internet, fantasizing about the possibility. He secretly hoped the rumor would come true so he could fulfill his desires.
A few days later, Alia had finished her shoot and was scrolling through Instagram with her manager, Raashi, by her side. Raashi snapped her attention to a photo of her with Stan, with the caption "New Couple." Alia showed no reaction, as she had grown accustomed to such things.
"He looks so tapori, but this rumor is getting hyped," Raashi commented without realizing the impact of her words.
"Yeah, babes. I know. He is sweet, though, and this rumor is just spiraling out of control. Social media can make anything believable," Alia replied, sharing her exasperation.
"Hmm... What if it were true? People would go crazy for you two," Raashi laughed, unintentionally planting a thought in Alia's mind.
Alia began researching the rumors through media articles, YouTube videos, and Instagram comments. She discovered that people were writing fictional stories about the supposed relationship. Many comments on her posts were spammed with phrases like "Stalia β€οΈ," a combination of their names. It became clear to her that this rumor had captured everyone's attention. So, she decided to arrange a meeting with Stan, with the intention of addressing the situation.
Stan and his manager, Ravi, were in his room, smoking and drinking. When Ravi received the call from Alia, he informed Stan about it. Stan wasn't sure why she wanted to meet, but he agreed nonetheless, intrigued by the invitation.
Stan finished his drink and stubbed out his cigarette, his curiosity piqued by Alia's sudden interest in meeting him. He couldn't help but wonder what she had in mind.
The following day, Alia arrived at the meeting place, a quaint coffee shop in South Mumbai. She wore an olive shirt and khaki shorts. Simple yet hot without any effort.
Stan in his quirky look entered the coffee shop a few minutes later, his eyes scanning the room until they met Alia's. He look at those legs for a moment and how short were her shorts. Man in the shop was unaware of both.
