"Have had enough suspense. You gonna tell me what's the issue among you three?" Anokhi asked one last time.
"Since it's related to Shaurya, I can't."Aahir stated.
Anokhi cut off the call frustrated.
"Hello! Hello!" Aahir wondered why it was bothering Anokhi.
Few days later:
"Hi!" Shagun greeted Anokhi when she had been to 'Magical Arts' to attend a meet.
"Hello!" Anokhi smiled. But it was weird.
"I saw you at the art gallery too. The environment was odd, I couldn't speak to you that day!" Shaugun sounded friendly. While she never really talked to anyone at the institute, when they were taking classes from Shaurya.
"Your arts are quite impressive. Still, you gonna have tough competition from my side too! Good luck!" She smiled. There was confidence brimming in her tone, but it didn't sound like arrogance.
"Thanks!" Anokhi uttered a word for formality sake."Focus Anokhi, Focus! Don't get stuck in their drama." She warned her inner self.
At Ashi's shooting spot:
"Sorry, I did waste your time. We had to take many takes. I kept you waiting!" Ashi apologized.

"It's okay. I spent thirty minutes examining this set design!" Shaurya smiled. "BTW, you look beautiful!"
"Thank you! Actually, it' been more than month since we first met! Still we couldn't become friends. Isn't that weird?" Ashi wondered.
"Are you friends with fellow actors, director, producers, set staff or any?" He asked.
"No!" She said.
"It's okay. Apparently you are occupied with work and then with your real life. Having professional relationships alone is okay too. You can't force anything, especially emotional bonding. It should happen naturally! I can see you have healthy relationships with everyone, you greet all, you talk and laugh with them. That's enough. Even look at us, we have respect for eachother. Isn't that enough to carry on with our classes?" Shaurya's practical answer made her feel a little better.
"You are right. My focus is on career right now. Moreover, in industry you can't just trust anyone. Recognition is miles away, destruction is just a just one wrong move away." She smiled.
"I do have friends from tuition. But it's almost like teacher-student bond. Just like in school....you will have some favourites, you are favourite of some students. You interact with them a little more and then it either ends or fades away with distance and time. But, there will be few, who try to be in touch. Or you will want to be in touch with them! It's like going with the flow!" He narrated his experience.
"Just like social media following. The show ends, and they unfollow you. Your movies flop in a row, and they forget you. You age, and they start unliking you. Few stay loyal no matter you getting projects or not. They stay with you even if you couldn't manage to survive in industry. I want such people!" She said.
