For The Rest Of My Life (Part-3)


Part-3

‘Oho Pretty lady is already up.’ I hear a familiar voice, almost shaken. I turn back my head to see. As expected, it’s Eric, elegantly dressed in a fitted tee paired with blue denims and rolex watch. His ever smiling face is adding charm to his persona. He is handsome. I see a girls group at a distance, looking at him and giggling. I feel little uncomfortable.

Am I getting jealous? Why am I feeling possessive about him?

‘Good morning pretty lady.’ His firm voice makes me come out of trance.

‘Good morning.’ I reply politely wrapping my shawl a little tighter around myself.

‘May I have the pleasure to accompany you pretty lady?’ He asks with a gentle smile.

‘Yes…sure.’ I reply shortly looking at the blue sea.

‘You like this place?’ He questions again.

‘Yes, I haven’t witnessed such a beautiful morning ever.’ I say, my gaze still fixed at the water waves.

‘Indeed it is… but not more than you.’ He whispers coming closer to me. I feel his warm breath over the nip of my neck. I shiver.

I remain quiet and keep on walking a little ahead of him.

‘Seems pretty lady doesn’t like my company.’ He speaks from behind.

‘Eh.. nothing like that.’ I stop and turn back.

He is standing at a little distance looking sharply at me. I feel a strange churning inside my stomach. Downright charming. He walks near me. We sit on the sandy beach in silence.

‘Let’s make sand castle.’ He suggests.

‘Great idea.’ I chuckle.

I am overjoyed to hear his suggestion. He is sugary sweet and impossibly cute.

We make a lovely sandcastle with joint efforts. It’s really beautiful. He clicks a picture of me from his I-phone with the sandcastle we have made, to keep it as a memory. I too want to capture this lovely moment but my cellphone is in room.

‘Oh God! I left my cellphone in room. Ashu might be trying to reach me. I need to go back.’ I exclaim in worry.

‘Hey chill, shoot will start at ten. I have already talked to Ashu.’ He informs me.

'Still I need to go now.' I insist.

‘As the pretty lady wishes.’ He bows his head like a servant in front of his master.

I love this gesture of him. It’s fun to be with him. He never fails to make me smile. He is a way too perfect. He is a charmer. Or is this my mind assuming all this because my heart has started liking him? I am confused.

I come back to my room, take shower and order breakfast for myself. All the while only Eric is in my mind. I scold myself for thinking too much.

‘It’s just attraction and nothing else.’ I try to convince myself.

Ashu’s call perturbs the chain of my thoughts. He calls me to confirm about my arrival at the shoot’s location on time. I get ready and reach the location. I see Ashu is busy in instructing the crew members. I look in all directions. Eric is nowhere in sight.

Gosh!  He is main lead of this advertisement. He will come. Why I am thinking about him?

‘Pretty lady, looking for me?’ He pats my shoulder from behind.

‘Y..yes..ss… I mean no. I am looking for Ashu.’ I stammer.

‘Really?’ He asks. A playful smile plays across his lips.

‘Ummm yeah..’ I lie carefully.

‘There he is…’ He points towards Ashu.

We go to meet Ashu and discuss about today’s shoot.

Today’s shoot is in a dance club called ‘Groovz’. In this scene of shoot I have to dance with some girls, where Eric is having drink with his friends. As he sees me in the club his nostrils fill with the waft of my fragrance and he starts following me but before he gets a chance to touch me I disappear.

Shoot ends pretty well with less retakes today. I am tired of tapping my foot at the high music beats.

After today’s shoot Ashu has announced one day break for all the cast and crew. Since we have come to Goa we are completely engrossed in work. Now it’s time to enjoy Goa. The whole crew is so happy, cheering up, making plans to enjoy their Goa trip.

I take leave from Ashu and come back to my room. I am exhausted. I throw my handbag carelessly on the bed. I lay down on the bed and think about Eric once again. My thoughts are lost in visions how we made sandcastle on the beach, his sharp gaze, his self assured mysterious smile, charming personality. He is totally out of my league. I don’t stand anywhere near him. He belongs to some other planet, I guess.

What’s special in this guy? Why he is all over my mind? I retort, talking to myself.

I get up and wash my face. I call room service and order coffee with some snacks. Within no time room service delivers it to my room. I munch it slowly. I plug in earphone to distract myself. Music always helps forgetting all the worries. My playlist plays Love story by Taylor Swift. The play list goes on and on.  I don’t realize when I doze off.

To be continued…

Forever in love♥

After two weeks of cold war. Vidaan decided to break the ice. He dialed a well known number on his iPhone. A beautiful face flashed on his mobile screen.  The face he loved more than his life. His reason to live. He waited for the call to be received. "Hello." "Hey love. " "Why did you call me?" "I want to meet you. We need to talk." "No. There is nothing left to talk. " "Naina for the sake of our love please don't say no." After a pause "Okay " "I'll wait for you at the same place." "I'll be there by 7 p.m." "Thank you." Call was disconnected without any further reply. Vidaan glanced at watch. It struck 2:00 pm. "Still 5 hours in hand" he said to himself.  He called his secretary and instructed her to cancel all his meetings for the day. He immediately left office in his favorite SUV. He put on the music and it played "Dil ibadat kar...

For The Rest Of My Life (Part-4)

Part-4  The playlist goes on. I keep on sleeping. It’s 11 P.M. when the ring of intercom disturbs my cozy sleep. They call to know if I want to order my dinner in room. I deny as I have lost my appetite. I sit on my bed for a while thinking what to do now. I decide to spend some time with myself to introspect. Going to beach at this time isn’t a good idea but still I choose to go. I sit at the shore daggling my legs inside the water. The view is panoramic. Surreal shining water under the sky full of twinkling stars. It’s so overwhelming. This natural beauty never fails to surprise me. I look upon the silent sea. It’s looking like a smooth glass pattern. I pick up a pebble and throw it in the water. It causes disturbance to the surface, making some concentric rings, breaking and shattering the symmetry. I think about my friends, career, relationships, love and future. I am recounting my past. I have everything whatever a person needs to lead a happy life. Name, fame, glamour and...

One Night Changed Everything (Last Part)

Last Part The sound of scream made Ridhima shudder with fear. She pulled back. ‘Where did this sound come from?’ She asked. Her voice was trembling with fear. ‘Nothing darling… you don’t pay attention to all this.’ He replied casually. Sweat drops appeared on his own forehead. Some more muffled screams followed. ‘Tell me Samarth where are these sounds coming from?’ She demanded.  She was worried and terrified. ‘From other room…’ He replied, weakly. ‘You mean the voice is coming from the room where Tanmay, Varun and Rudra are staying?’ She questioned, startled. ‘Yes..’ He gave monosyllable reply. He was now little annoyed with this odd time quizzing. ‘What are they doing there?’ She shot another question. ‘They are enjoying their night Ridhi… now you stop thinking about all this. I don’t want to spoil our special night.’ He said and took her hand in his lovingly. Ridhima was little puzzled but she knew how Tanmay, Varun and Rudra are so she let it go. Samarth wrapped he...
