I sighed heavily storming out of the Mumbai high court. Like I've been here so frequent that it feels weird if I don't come here at least twice a week. Yeah that's the thing I go through before the release of each and every movie of mine. Yeah that's what a director- one who makes absurd and off track movies which are considered to be unconventional by the so called society! Huh.
I swept past the bunch of Paparazzi blocking my way out and sat in my car exhausted.
"Anything?" Questioned my manager
"Nope." I shook my head disappointed
"Public is getting restless. They are demanding for the trailer" she pointed out going through her Twitter handle
That's when it struck me. I picked up my phone and clicked open my Twitter
"It doesn't feel like my movie is going to release until I don't appear in the court #sorryfornotrailer #hopeforthebest" I tweeted
"Hahah, good one" said my manager retweeting it
"I've got one more" I smirked
"Planing to buy a new house near the high court, coming from Bandra takes a lot of time" I tweeted
There came the reply from Ranveer Singh
"No doubt the judge is in love with you"
"Perks of having Ranveer as your best friend" taunted my manager laughing
I just eyed her
"Hello big brother" I answered picking up the call
"What's wrong with you?!" He shouted
"Uh-ummm why, what happened?" I asked astonished
"Have you seen the papers today?"
"No! What's-"
"You! You and Virat kissing! All over the media" he exclaimed
"What the fuck" I spatted in shock
"Yes little sister."
"Fuck no! How?! Why?!"
"What's worse is the headlines- all those bullshit they've put up in there. Oh I-i can't"
I just sighed heavily, with my heart beat getting faster and my skin growing pale. Why always it's the good that goes through all the bad?
"Listen y/n just... Just breath in and..do-don't mess up your relationship in all this. We know it isn't any of your fault. Just go and talk to him once. Meet him. These media people can go to any ok instinct to sell papers. Don't let them get you. Focus on your film and on Virat. Take care." I could picture him giving that consoling big brother smile while saying take care and cutting the call.
Me and my manager stole glances and she spoke "I'll figure out how"
I just nodded
We reached my apartment and I dragged myself through a few Paparazzi waiting for me outside my building. Huuuf! They followed me up till here also
I could still hear their screams as they darted their website questions
"What's going on between you and Virat?"
"Are you guys getting married?"
"What kind of impression would this out on Indian society?"
"Are you focusing on Virat more than your movie? Why isn't the trailer out then?"
I ran towards the lift and quickly got in. For the first time in the day I felt my heart lighten as I relaxed my back and closed my eyes. I knew I would be all alone in my house, which will fetch me time to sort things out. Okay first a nice hot shower, then call Virat, and then.... Wait. Does he know about it? What must have been his reaction?
