They didn't really get a chance to talk till quarter to one in the afternoon when Harry started having difficulty bringing out the right emotions for the video. Given that morning seemed to work so the director asked him to take a five-minute break but even after that they couldn't get it right.
The director used his walkie-talkie to call Bri to come to him. She quickly made her way through the crowd and now stood in a triangle with the director James, Harry, and herself.
"You're his oldest friend here, right?", Yes, I am, she said after glancing at Harry. "Perfect! I need you to get an emotion out of him, a mixture of happy, shocked, and in love. Mostly how one feels when the other says I love you to them the first time. You know what I mean right?",
" I'll figure it out, she doesn't need to do this, Bri it's okay you can go I'll do it on my own", he said trying to spare her from dealing with the whole love part.
"No, no it's okay I'll do it but instead of all that you said can I get him to look in awe and mesmerized, would that work?", She hoped he would say yes. "Umm, if you can get that out of him today, then yes I think that would be okay?"
"So the scene would begin with him running towards you and the camera is behind you, so don't worry you wouldn't be in the scene. He will come and stop in front of you and that's your cue to talk to him and get those emotions for us, make sense ?"James explained.
"Yup! That works, but I can talk to you about something else first", she asked. Harry stepped away out of courtesy. "What I wanted to ask of you is that can you make sure it doesn't get out, like the copy of it should be just with you and if I could get the clipping of it because it might cause an issue? You know how things leak and I just don't want that to happen?" She explained in a worried tone. "Yeah, I got you covered, the recording stays between you and me and before I send it for editing I'll mute it off." He reassured her. James directed her to a spot marked X on the ground for him to run up to her.
'And action' yelled James and Harry ran towards her and stopped a couple of steps before her, this was her cue to begin and she did by smiling at him first and began to speak.
"Tumy pata bhi nahi hai ki may kya bol rahi hu. Aur tumhey samjhega bhi nahin agale pandra minto tak.
Tumy tumhare Baal bahut chhote katwa diya, acche lagte ho aisa nahin hai ki tum acche Nahin lagte ho bus mujhe chahie ki tumhare bal thode aur lambe ho jaaye, to main uske sath khel sakhu, bus man kar raha hai ki tumhare bal kharab kar do per aisa karungi to unlog mujhe maar dalegi. 'She paused and chuckled then continued'
Tumhare Jaisay a log bahut kam milte hai duniya mein. Jitna pyar tum duniya ko day tay ho use kahin jyada tumhe wapas milta hai aur hamesha milta rahega.
Bus ek aur baat karni thi ki shayad main tumhey kabhi vo teen shabd na kepaon lekin aisa Nahin hai ki main tumhey vah mahsus Nahin kara sakti hu."
'And cut', James called out as he finished capturing all the emotions he was looking for. "I got no clue what you said but job well done, you got every emotion out of him wanna see?" He offered. She nodded eagerly.
"What did you say? What language was that? Also, I have known you for five years. How do I not know that you speak another language?" Harry questioned, a bit too confused. "Well it's Hindi, a language spoken in India and you don't know because you didn't ask and also because I don't speak it that often."
They crowded around James to see the reply, Harry ran to her and as promised not even a flicker of her hair came in the recording. Harry's emotions were portrayed exactly as needed.
"As he came and stood in front of her, he first caught his breath and then he looked just above her right shoulder at the camera, the second he heard her voice calmed down like a relief took over him and then it showed as if he was wondering and trying to make sense of what she was saying. His mouth hung open in amazement as if it was the most surreal words he had heard which he couldn't understand and after her little chuckle he looked up and smiled as if he had finally found the love he was looking for and then ran his fingers through his hair and shyly looked away."
She rubbed his back as the reply went on in a loop, Harry looked at her covering half of his lips he blew a kiss to her and coughed up a bit to cover it up. She blushed, cleared her throat, and stepped back.
"I'll get back to my work now", she excused herself. She pulled Harry to the side and said "meet me at the beach after your shoot is over!" Not waiting for his response she jogged back to where she originally came.
As her work came to an end, she quickly packed up all her belongings, leaving a pair of jeans, long sleeve blacktop, and her sneakers as she had an early morning flight back to London and wanted to spend the rest of the time with him and not folding her clothes up.
She went down to the lobby and ordered dinner and asked to be served at the beach, to which they gladly agreed. She also settled her bills and skipped down the path to the beach.
She placed the mat closer to the sea than the shore and sat under the moonlight in her favourite pair of royal blue shorts and rusty red V-neck t-shirt, waiting for his royal highness to arrive.
The food arrived soon after he did and they quickly finished their plates as they had starved the whole day. Placing the plates back on the tray he set them aside.
