Only You.....Just You.....

Chapter 22: The Film

Two years had passed away since the cruel death had stolen my tears, my sleep, my love, my Alisha.

I was converted to an insomniac and literally, I hadn't slept for the last two years. It took me a year to come back to life, with Alisha in my heart. In that one year, nothing happened. I often met the sun but the moon was quite healing. I spent most of my nights with the bright moon, talking to him, trying to bring a smile on his face and ask him about the wellbeing of my love. I
also tried bribing the bloody moon. But, every time, the address I got was of my heart.

Mom and dad forced me a lot to come back to Bangalore. At least for some days until Alisha gets out of me. But the heart didn't witness to leave the house I was living in. Well let me tell you, I have purchased that house now and have done no renovations in it and I am not even thinking of it in any future.

There are many changes that had knocked on the door of my life. I had stopped watching movies as I found them senseless without Alisha.

The long thrilling drives were still a good chance to meet Alisha. Every time I used to drive rash, I felt like she used to scold me from my heart.

The man who didn't like reading books contained a special shelf for books because Alisha liked it. The social media status of mine was still unchanged, it was always committed.

Everybody tried to bring me out of her memories. But this was the only thing I didn't want to. I loved sharing my life with her, while some people said that I had gone mad and I often get hallucinations. I thank these people that they didn't send me to a mental asylum.

I think you are creating a prejudice about me. So, allow me to open up
completely.

My name is Nikhil Raj and I am no more an assistant director because I have become a full-fledged movie director now. I had a wife who no more lives in this world, but I love her so I feel like she lives in my heart and interacts with me, shares my moment of happiness and sadness. But this feeling of mine doesn't show any effect on my social life until they start speaking about my love. Post that I am acclaimed to be a freaky lover. I really don't mind these kinds of comments. However, it was tough to get back to life after the death of Alisha, after one year I was normal and back to work. I have happy moments with my parents and friends. My choices haven't changed except I left watching movies and started reading books.

So, these are all the changes I had got in my life, which I think is negligible.

"What if I won't be there with you tomorrow?" - Alisha

"I will change the world with your name." - Raj

I had promised Alisha to change the world with her name. It feels me
proud to speak from this platform that I have made this happen.

A year back, Writer - Director Jonathan, whom I used to assist, he was also a producer and had a production house named "JSD Films" and he liked my story very much and he agreed to be my producer for my film.

It took me 3 months to craft the scenes on the paper and another
6 months to capture it on camera.

Now after one whole year, I am standing here at the success party of my first movie, or I should call it video footage of my love life. This is how Alisha was.

The audience and celebrities reactions were like this,

"'Alisha' is what a girl should be."

"Really, at the end I cried out very much..."

"Alisha's love story is full of fun and pain."

"I love you 'Alisha'..."

"A fun and heart melting love story made by Nikhil, really he's fabulous..."

"Even I need a girl like Alisha in my life."

Celebrity reactions,

"This movie of 'Alisha' is going to change the world of romance. Alisha will change the world of romance." - Rakshit Shetty (writer and director)

"Alisha, the film, a definate treat to watch." - Hollywood Reporter and New York Times

"Alisha is ruling many lives across the globe." - Anurag Kashyap (writer and director)

So these were some of the public reactions and celebrities reactions for my film and the film also premiered in "Tribeca Film Festival" and "Cannes Film Festival" where this film recieved standing ovation and positive reviews and also got numerous awards all over the world.

Actually, for "Alisha", which also happened to be the name of my first film. I have fulfilled my promise. I wasn't the traitor, she was.

Anyway, life didn't end here. But the heart was always reserved for
Alisha. I will be making more movies and life will be going great with me, Alisha and my passion...

The beginning ends here...
