Chapter 27: The Long Story
Veer’s POV
I 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 goinKaugnay na kabanata

Siya’s POVI was exhausted today. Itwas night already. I sluggishly entered my room, dumping my bag on the dressingtable. I sat on the bed to take off my shoes. 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. The shower stopped and I gasped. Openingthe door, a hand covered my mouth.“Argh!” a muffled screamescaped my lips.“Hey.” Veer sounded,smiling at me. I pushed him back angrily. He chuckled.“What are you doing in myroom?” I groaned.“Chill,” he smiled. Whatwas funny? I shot past him, opening the door for him to leave.“Leave my room, Veer. Iam going to scream for help if you don’t,” I threatened. He moved closer to me,removing m
Where Dreams and Destiny Lies Chapter 29: Who Is The Screenwriter?
Sidd’s POVAfter leaving the building site, I headed back home. Tomorrow will be more hectic than today. I have to model and act in another scene with Veer. I just can’t wait to finish the movie. It’s straining my brain. I get to tackle Veer and cope with being nice to him. I will let the producer know never to put me on good terms with Veer in a movie. Being enemies in movies won’t be a bad idea, is it? I entered the living room, seeing my mom watching a TV while holding a flute of champagne.“Good evening, Mother,” I greeted, hanging my suit down my shoulder. 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
Where Dreams and Destiny Lies Chapter 30: Called Out
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. See you,” he commented and hung up. I lay on the bed, puffing in relief.Later on, I headed to the living room to notify Hema of my leaving. “Are you ready?” she asked upon seeing me.“Yeah, how

Nadia’s POVA year passed with me working in the film industry as a screenwriter. My second script was accepted too and the short film is about completing now. 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

Like damn, that guy is something else.Even though he was playing the role of my brother, he was still acting somehowtowards me in the act. If I hadn’t subdued my anger, I would have told thedirector to cut. If not for professional sake, I wouldn’t have agreed to hughim.
