Veer’s POVI hurried into the studio. I left to get a document for the director. He told me to bring it today and I forgot, all thanks to me not knowing how to do my tie. Leaving his office, I bumped into Siya. She staggered back, almost falling and I held her. “Are you okay?” I asked. She balanced on her feet and pulled away from me quickly. She doesn’t look comfortable. I have noticed she has been avoiding me, not taking my calls, and dodging my presence.“Sorry,” she said sharply and tried walking away. I grabbed her wrist, pulling her back to my front.“What’s wrong?” I queried. She wriggled her wrist to free her hand from me. “What’s the attitude about, Siya?”“What are you talking about?” she asked, not making eye contact with me.“Why are you avoiding me? What did I do this time?”“Nothing. Let me go,” she jerked her hand from me and went off. What was that all about? Siya never behaves that way, not to me. I guess something is wrong and I am goin

I heard a sound in the bathroom.I looked at the door. What could be moving in the bathroom? I waved it off and continuedunstrapping my shoelaces. Then the sound of the shower rushing drew my attentionback to the bathroom door. Did someone enter my room? Who? How? I slowly stoodup, shuffling to the bathroom door.

I was stressed out.“Where are you coming from?” she queried. I looked disappointedly at her. I am no longer a child for pity’s sake, but Mother makes it look like I am still a baby that needs to be guided.“I went out,” I responded, walking off.“I never said you didn’t,” her words stopped me midstep. She stood up, moving to me. “Where exactly did you go?”“What is all these, Mother? When did you star

Nadia’s POVI was stepping out of the bathroom when my phone started ringing. I hurried to the bed and picked it up. Mr Hrithik called. My heart thumbs up in fear. I wonder why he was calling me. Was something wrong with my script? Won’t he adapt it anymore? Different negative thoughts rumbled in my head and my hands began shaking.“He… hel… hello,” I stuttered.“Hey, Nadia? Are you all right?” he asked from the other end.“Ye… yes, sir. I’m all right. How is work?” I said and sat on the bed to calm myself.“Work is fine. Um, can you make it to my office later? I need you to make an edit to the script. It’s nothing much, just a few lines,” he said. I inhaled deeply. Thank God it wasn’t a rejection.“Sure, sir. I will be on my way soon,” I affirmed.“Okay.

Now the producer is interested in this story of mine, but the female lead happened to be a ballet dancer.“If you ask me to select the best Bollywood dancer, it will take me forever, but a ballet dancer? Never seen anyone with the passion for it in this industry,” Mr Hrithik told me. For a moment, I stayed mute, digesting his words and contemplating what to tell him. I rolled my eyes a thousand times, puckered my lips, and pressed my hands into each other. If no cast is selected, my script will be rejected. I bit my lower lip.“I want to volunteer to act,” the words vaguely rolled out of my tongue and I immediately regretted it as Mr Hrithik’s forehead creases into a frown. I lowered my gaze to the table and tapped my slender fingers on it while rolling my eyes.“I’m afraid you can’t, Nadia,” he declared. “Sin
