Chapter 5 - Heart strings

Ragini swallowed hard in Udip's presence. She still remembers his words to her. 'He said he would destroy my career. Is he here to tell Ram uncle that he should cancel my role? What if he told them lies about me?!' she could feel panic settle in her heart.

Udip, on the other hand, stood there looking at Ragini in awe. He couldn't believe what he was seeing before him. It was as if the ugly duckling became a white swan for him.

When Ragini came to him, she was in her casual look. But now...now with all the makeup and wearing the expensive dress for the scenes, she looked like an angel.

"Nice to meet you as well Ragini

"Nice to meet you as well Ragini. Ram uncle, your choice for a heroine is really nice."

Ragini was confused as to why he has being so polite. Nevertheless, she decided to go with the flow. "Thank you."

"I'm gl-" Ram heard someone call for him. "You two chat. I'll be right back." saying that, he left.

An uncomfortable silence reigned after he went away. Ragini felt uneasy standing there in front of Udip. His gaze made her feel exposed.

He was looking at her like he was undressing her with his eyes. His sly smirk and hungry look made her want to puke.

Gritting her teeth, she balled her hands into fists in anger. She tried to move past him, only for him to grab her by the wrist. "And where do you think you're going beautiful?"

"I-I need to practice my lines. Let go of my hand please." Ragini tried to jerk her hand away from his, but without success.

"You can practice with me. I can teach you privately and maybe...maybe even give you some tips." he dralled, pulling her closer.

Ragini felt fear grip her. She tried again to break free, but couldn't stop him from pulling her closer further. He brought his other hand to brush away a strand of hair from her face, and ran his finger down her cheek. She tried to resist by facing the other way. Ragini used all her strength to push him, but wihotu avail.

Udip brought his hand around her waist. She could feel it ghosting around her, making her feel disgusted.

Just when he was about to put his hand on her waist, he felt someone grab his wrist in a strong hold.

That someone grabbed Ragini's arm and gave Udip a solid push, making him let go of her. The newcomer pulled Ragini away from Udip and hid her behind him.

Udip was furious. He wanted to shout at the person, and turned to do so after recovering from the force of the push. However, he stopped seeing who it was. He faked a smile. "Hey cousin! What are you doing here Lucky?"
