Unexpectedly In Love 💕

🎬| Breeze of love•

Harshad Chopda was his own man. Confident in everything he did—a man who knew his worth. Whatever he held in his heart was his, and it was his alone. After an unforgettable past, a betrayal—He lived his life with the conviction that he did not need anyone in it; he was enough for himself & strong enough to endure all the curve balls that life would throw.

Those who knew Harshad, knew very little about him. He is a man who doesn't let anyone see through himself; only a few people were in his life—that he loved & cherished. The only sight of his that the world saw was that of a man who loved his father & sister—family that meant everything to him. And he guarded that part of his life with walls that he built with time to shield them from his other world—fame. A man who valued family & loyalty above all other virtues...

No matter how much he smiled or tried to act normal for his family & fans—they all knew the pain still stang deep inside. The pain that he felt when he lost his mother, but with time he has learned to live with that empitness, with that pain.

Hmmm, that's why he was cautious with the people he met. Just like her, even he believed in first impressions. That was the very first feeling he sensed upon meeting someone new. Good or bad, he only trusted his senses, which were on guard 24x7.

After meeting her, it took him a while to realize that even though it was for a sec, he did lose his sense of reality—for once. His mind wasn't working or calculative. Never before did his heart stop. Somehow it felt like his own heart was beginning to beat to the new rhythm of someone's heart—the girl he just met. He never heard the new melody of his heart; it surprised him beyond words.

After a not-so-GOOD morning, then meeting the Sunshine Girl—he was unknowingly feeling elated. Why was he feeling so. Even though he didn't know, all he felt was alive. Again...

"Hmmmm PRANALI...stopppp being a teenage boy & concentrate on the shoot. Be professional... huhhh focus..."

While walking, he halted at the sight of her. Again. He saw Pranali—who was roaming around with a script. Again, he unknowingly smiled. He leaned on the wall & stared until his heart could diagnose the illness & reasons for the abnormalities he was feeling.

One thing he noticed was that she shone wherever she went and outsmarted everyone in whatever she did. She knew how to make an entrance and how to outspeak and overshadow everyone—completely innocent & unaware of it. That was another reason he was growing so fond of her. She did not care how she was viewed by others—one of the things he thought only he had.

But he quickly shoved all the thoughts & noticed how tensed she looked, & slowly walked towards her. To help her out, to ask what the problem was.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She was so engrossed in reading the script that it held a maze of emotions, & she needed the right key, the right craft, to unlock and capture the core trait of the ckt. It wasn't an easy task—because this time she didn't have any dialogue, she had to convey it through her actions and her facial expressions. She needed to emote through her eyes, which only a few could do—and that scared her; she felt a lump in her throat. What if she is not able to...

Suddenly her mind went off, everything went off: her thoughts, fears, script. When a scent invaded her senses—a masculine scent of sandalwood and musk.

"God, I love this smell. I could drown in it."

She didn't know exactly who it was. As far as she remembers, she doesn't know anyone on the set, yet it felt familiar. Lost in that scent, she took a step back and bumped into someone.
