You are mine

Face to Face

Swara reached home but she couldn't concentrate on anything as her happiness was dominating all her thoughts. So, finally she decided to take a hot shower and go to sleep. After a great struggle, sleep took over her.

Next morning, Swara first visited the temple to pray that everything should be alright as she was very nervous for her first day and left to the studio, reached there so early that there was no one except Alok. He was taking care of all the arrangements required for the shoot. She greeted him, and he showed her the makeup room where she needs to get ready.

On the other side, in a beautiful mansion, a man wearing a black T-shirt was coming down the stairs. He is none other than one of the most eligible bachelors, Sanskar Maheshwari.

"Sanskar, you woke up so early today. Do you have shooting?", asked his mother Sujatha shocked to find her son awake before the clock stuck 10.

"Yes mom, my new movie's shooting is starting today. So, I must reach there by 10:00", replied Sanskar.

"Okay have breakfast before you leave".

"Where are the others?", enquired Sanskar taking his seat near the dining table.

"You know right Laksh and his wife went for honeymoon and your dad had some work, so he left early today", replied Sujatha serving him eggs and toasts along with a glass of orange juice.

"Cool, when is Laksh coming back?", asked Sanskar.

"Within two days".

"Fine mom, I finished my breakfast. You too have it. I am leaving. Take care. Bye-Bye".

He kissed her forehead and left to the studio in his car. There Swara was desperately waiting for her co-star. Finally, a black Audi stopped in-front of the studio. Her eyes were glued to the door and her heart skipped a beat seeing him coming inside.

"Hey Alok, good morning man", greeted Sanskar.

"Good morning Sanskar. Come with me I will introduce your co-star", replied Alok taking Sanskar near Swara.

"Here she is Miss. Swara. This is her first movie, so you should help her. Now you both keep talking, I will be back", saying which he left.

Sanskar removed his goggles and extended his hand "Nice to meet you Miss. Swara. I think I don't need any introduction".

But Swara was too shocked to respond. She was just staring at him without blinking her eyes.

"Oh my god!! Someone pinch me. It's real that I am standing in front of him. What else could I ask for?", her heart started dancing and a smile automatically curved her lips totally confusing Sanskar initially. But after some time, he understood her condition and clapped his hands in front of her to bring her out of her dreamland.

"Hi! Sir, I am Swara. I am a big fan of you", stuttered Swara in excitement.

Sanskar gave his trademark smile "Where have you been all these years, Miss beautiful?".

"I have been lost in your smile Mr. Handsome", chuckled Swara retorting back the compliment.

Their beautiful moment was broken by the director.

"Hello, Sanskar! Hi Swara! It is nice to see my stars all geared up for the shoot. You both are aware of your roles, right? So, let's start with a small puja".

They all gathered near the small idol of Lord Ganesh and cracked few coconuts asking his blessings for starting their happy journey.

"As I explained the first scene would be yours Swara. So, go and get ready. Your costumes are there in the makeup room. And she is Tina, your makeup assistant", informed Alok.

Swara went to get ready while Sanskar went to his canvass.

After 30 minutes, Swara came out wearing a long blue off shoulder gown with a light makeup, tying her hair into a bun leaving few curls in the front. As soon as she came out, Alok went near her to give her few details and tips as it was her first shot. She felt everyone there very friendly and supportive, so she didn't feel much nervous.

"Swara, as it is your first time, let's do a small rehearsal. Are you ready?", encouraged the director.

"Yes sir", replied Swara confidently.

"Alok, is everything ready?", enquired the director.

"All okay sir", replied Alok.

"Lights on, sound, camera, rolling, action"

Hearing action from the director, Sanskar came out of his canvass. He went and sat in the chair near the director. Though Swara stuttered in dialogues initially, later she picked it up nicely. Everyone appreciated her but the one she was excited about was Sanskar's. He gave her a shake hand and said, "Well done". Next shot was Sanskar's, so he got ready. He did it well in first shot itself while Swara took four shots. Soon it was time for pack up.

"Guys let's call it a day and meet tomorrow. Swara, as you know Hindi and your voice is also very sweet, I hope you don't mind giving your own dubbing?", asked Alok.

"Sure Alok, I am fine with it", replied Swara readily accepting it.

"Okay, then these are the few dialogues for tomorrow's scenes, try to have a glance at them so that it would be easier and faster tomorrow. And these are for you Sanskar", he said handing them over few papers.

"Bye Alok. Let's go Swara", said Sanskar.

"Yes sir. Bye Alok. See you tomorrow", replied Swara.

"I told you not to call me sir", complained Sanskar.

"ye...yes sir... I mean Sanskar", whispered Swara.

"Could you please be louder, I didn't hear?" teased Sanskar.

"Yes Sanskar" (She almost shouted)

"Good. How will you go?"

"I will book a cab", answered Swara.

"Are you sure Swara?", asked Sanskar looking around to find a taxi.

"It's okay, I can manage".

"Come I will drop you", insisted Sanskar not finding a soul on the road.

"No, No thank you. I don't want to trouble you", hesitated Swara.

"It's too late Swara and it's decided, I am dropping you while you direct me to your house. Is that clear?", ordered Sanskar.

Swara agreed giving in to Sanskar's stubbornness. Sanskar got into the driving seat, while Swara sat beside him. They both started their journey silently.
