Love unscripted

Ch-9

Sidharth entered the room where She is giving an audition, leaning on the wall, he watched her every moment, the way she is giving expressions, the way her eyes are speaking more than anything, and the way she is portraying the character.

Rajiv already loved her audition video shown by Mihir, he was sure she is the girl he want in his picture when she entered the office, dressed as per the character description.

" can we click a few pictures for record," Rajiv asked the camera person.

" Shehnaaz we need to click some pictures" She nodes waiting patiently for the camera settings, her eyes trying to find him in the chaos, and finally her gaze meets his dark once, clad in a comfortable super dry t-shirt paired with trousers, a cigarette held in between his lips.

" We are ready shehnaaz" Rajiv spoke up, she poses for pictures focusing on her work.

"That's amazing," Rajiv compliments her patting slightly on her back, she felt good after a while, being praised for her work made her happy.

" thank you" she said stepping towards him with a subtle smile playing on her lips.

" kesa laga??" she questioned feeling his intense gaze on her.

" You did well" he replied giving her a small smile.

" Come, let's talk in the office" she nods following him, the office is not fancy, its like another normal office or kind of studio, the interiors are calming and she loved the fact he didn't try to make it luxurious.

" kya logi??" he asked calling someone.

" ice tea"

" ok one iced tea and one black coffee"

" can I have one sandwich too, I am extremely hungry" she requested before he could cut the call, he nods ordering for her as well as for the whole team, she roamed her eyes around like a curious child and he finally able to see the shehnaaz he met once.

" Shehnaaz let's make few things clear" he started diverting her attention towards him.

" Are you passionate about doing films?? You did well.. You will be a good actress too, but are you willing to do hard work" He questioned in a calming tonne.

"Are you able to do this for yourself not for your mother not for anyone else," he asked.

" does it matters?" she asked not meeting his gaze, his soft words overwhelmed her.

" it does... Shehnaaz ek film ke peeche bhut logo ka hath hota hai, aur agr usme se koi ek bhi puri mehnat na kre apne man se toh sb khraab ho jata hai"  he spoke up resting his hand on hers.

" don't think I have any doubt on your talent, its just you always used to detest acting, this industry"

" mujhe nh pta mujhe Ky krna tha toh Jo unhone kha kar lia" she said in an extremely low tonne, her eyes filled with tears, sidharth stood up from his chair, sitting down in front of her, he made her look at him.

" Why you came to give an audition??" he questioned reading the hidden truth in her eyes.

" sach btaun???" she asked.

" bcz Elisha called you for the role, and I wanted to hurt..." he cupped her smooth face, his thumb caressing her cheeks softly.

" you don't need to hurt someone, it's not you shehnaaz, you both are different, there is no competition between both of you, I know it's hard to live in a complicated family setting, but this is not you bacha" he spoke making her cry, his words acts like medicine on her wounded heart, it's been long someone really sits with her and tried to understand her dilemmas and here this beautiful human understood her just like that.
