SEMPITERNO {Jaskirat Singh Rangi X OC}

Jessica (Jessie) Stella D'mello

A girl whose world revolves around the elite army households and schools in South Mumbai. With a Major for a father who wants to control his family more and a professor for a mother who is a free spirit that keeps losing her light everyday, the summer of 88' is going to be the only way for her and her brother Joel to hit pause and take a break from the constant cold war that's been raging in their house since time immemorial. All she wants is to cuddle her lab Ruby and for Joel to hum a melody as she sleeps. L. All she wants is a family that isn't hell bent on wanting to destroy each other.

Jaskirat (Jassi) Singh Rangi

He grew up with a Daarji who was still haunted by the ghosts of partition and paper thin wrinkled skin that has touched soil as well as blood. A bebe who teaches him the true meaning of control and discipline. A bauji who couldn't walk without crutches but made sure Jaskirat always had a smile on his face. He has everything that should be bringing him happiness but there's something missing. He spends his time in an empty kothi whose owners have been long gone. An eight year old boy like him should be playing out in the open fields but Jassi needs fixations. He needs something. Something that arrests his mind and soul. Give him something to do.

Jessica and Jaskirat. Jessie and Jassi.

They're sempiternal.

A beginning that doesn't have an end.

An ourborous that eats its own tail.

A circle that can't differentiate between where one ends and the other starts.

They soothe each other and hurt each other.

They care and they despair.

And no matter what, they always come back to each other.
