"Cut!" Yelled Abhilash.

Everyone ran here-and-there busily packing the equipment.

"Pack up!" He yelled once again at the cast and crew.

Tired from the shoot which happened from dawn,pitying his coworkers he ended the shoot calling it a day. It took more than 30 takes to get the shot somewhere near perfect. Pondering about the editor's and the cinematographer's works for the next shot, about the dates, schedules,changes to be made in the script - the usual banter with himself, he started walking towards his room ignoring the background chaos.

"This is our assistant director Mr. Khan. Oh! And here is the man behind the creation, our director Mr. Abhilash Joshi."

"Sir! Sir!"

"Huh?"

"I'm on live, sir! Would you like to say something to our fans?" The actor asked him.

He came out of his trance and replied with a small smile plastered on his face, " Oh! The usual. Thank you for all the support and love! We hope this film will reach your expectations!"

"That's all guys, I'll keep you updated!" With that said the actor went offline

"Sir!" He called the man who was about to leave.

"Yes, Kamal?" He asked.

"Sir, as it's my last day at shoot, can I take a selfie with you to keep it as a memory?" He requested the director.

"Sure!" He replied with a smile and posed with the boy.

Flipping the thick laminated pages, his fingers traced the faces whose smiles beamed and warmed his heart. All the memories and moments were perfectly captured and trapped in that album. Closing the book he fell on his bed and stared out the window.

Peaceful evening faced him through the window. The blazing red sun set was welcoming along with the melodies of the birds. Drifted by his thoughts he took out his phone and dialed his wife with the overflow of happiness engulfing him.
