The host began announcing the names of the winners in each category. Every artist whose name was mentioned climbed up the stage, gave a few speeches, and walked while the audience cheered for them. The ceremony progressed through various awards, and finally, they reached the Best Actress and Best Actor categories…..

"And the Most Promising Actor of the Year goes to Aditya Sagar," the host announced. The actor, seated closer to Natalie, stood up, followed by his few supporters as they walked up the stairs to receive his award. Mr. Wood sat uncomfortably in his seat, starting to sweat. Leaning in, he whispered in his wife's ear, "I'll be back; I want to use the washroom." Natalie responded in a whisper due to the noise in the room, "Sure, be back soon."

He quickly walked out to the roof where the paparazzi wouldn't find him and took out his phone. He dialed Brindle’s number, and after a first unsuccessful attempt, he called again, but the line didn’t go through. A message then popped up

    In the bustling market, a man with distinctive dreadlocks swiftly emerged and, with calculated precision, covered Brindle's mouth to stifle any outcry. He deftly guided her away from the public eye to a secluded spot. Brindle attempted to wriggle free, emitting muffled protests. Upon release, she shot Marko an irate glance. "What are you doing here?" she demanded. Brindle scanned their surroundings discreetly, ensuring no prying eyes witnessed their encounter. Urgently, she ushered him into a nearby storage room within the supermarket. "What are you doing here?" Brindle asked him again. "I've been trying to reach out to you for some months now, but you've refused to pick up my calls or reply to my messages," he said. "I have been busy," Brindle replied. "Well, well, well," he said, moving around the room and touching Brindle's shoulder. "You should have still waited for me to call you. You can't let anyone see you around me, especially Richard," she said in anger. "Thank God I ask

    "I want to take full charge of her. I know I have been assigned to her, but I’m requesting that no other doctor work on her except me. I know what to do, how to help her fight," he said. "What? Doctor Liam, isn't what you're asking too much? Besides, it's risky. The procedure you're talking about has a mere 5% chance of her survival. Taking her away from the hospital is dangerous due to her critical condition. This is not just a coma; it's beyond that." "Trust me on this, Chief Doctor. I know what I’m talking about. My mom also slept in a similar coma to hers. I can help her, bring her back to life, or else she may die," he said, looking at the Chief Doctor, waiting for him to believe what he said or to give him the go-ahead. "Hmm, I have heard you, Doctor Liam, but do you understand this procedure is risky and she can even die when we do another transfer? He looked up to Doctor Liam who had his face buried below……………… Hmmm, if you say so, I will have to speak with her relatives and

    "One, two, three, move! Position her well," one nurse said, fixing and plugging the tubes into the troll bed for the transfer. Richard stood outside the room where the noise was coming from, trying to see who it was when they pushed the troll bed out of the room in front of him. "Who is that?" he asked when they passed in front of him. He couldn't see who it was on the bed they were pushing out, due to the number of nurses around it, some holding the tubes connected to her and others pushing the bed. One nurse immediately left the bed they was pushing to respond to him. "Oh, sir, she’s a patient who has been in a coma for months now due to some accident she had. Can I see her?" he asked. "Sure," the nurse said and signaled them to wait. "Ko ko ko," his shoes echoed through the room, each step bringing him closer to where they stopped. As he was about to get closer, someone rushed in and called his name, making him turn to see who it was. "Sir, we need to go. Your other board mee

    Her face suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands, causing Marko, who was still on the bed, to be startled. He looked at her with a questioning expression. "Woah," she exclaimed, standing up and raising her hands in the air. "We've won a lottery, babe," she declared. Marko struggled to get on his legs, visibly confused. "Which lottery are you talking about?" he asked. "Check, check, check!" she pointed excitedly at the TV. Marko examined the screen and remarked, "Yes, I'm checking, but I'm not seeing anything. Just rich people displaying their worth," he said, shaking his head in confusion. "Uh-huh," Brindle exclaimed with her eyes wide open. Overwhelmed with excitement, she jumped up. "The person you're seeing over there is my ex," she revealed. Marko, still perplexed, asked, "And what does that have to do with us?" "Everything, Marko. Our lives can literally change," she explained, a sense of anticipation in her voice. She pulled him onto the bed, quickly joining him and cle

    “How did you know I was here? I heard you’ve escaped from the cell,” Brindle said, aggressively pulling herself away from his touch. Marko stepped forward, but Brindle quickly backed away. “Don’t even try to make any move on me. You know just one call, and you’ll be back in the cell,” Brindle warned, pulling her phone from her pocket. “You need to stop this. You’ve done enough. Hurting more people won’t bring you peace or the dream you’re chasing after,” Marko pleaded. “What makes you think you can stop me, huh?” Brindle shouted, looking up at him with anger in her eyes. “I’m not trying to stop you, Brindle. I’m trying to save you from all this madness you’ve gotten yourself into. This path you’re on… It’s destroying you. Can’t you see that?” Marko said, his voice filled with concern. Brindle slammed her fists on the table, rattling the items on it. “You think I need saving?” she snarled. “You think I need you to tell me what to do? Hell no!” Her voice rose as she shouted. “You ha

Don't get married," he said as he rushed to her, pleading."Richard, we've been through this. It's over between us. You were the one who ended everything, remember?"

"You're safe now," he murmured, his voice filled with concern.Richard stood beside them, his eyes still fixed on the sky where the jet had disappeared.

    Sitting at a small metal table in the psychiatric hospital's dining room, Brindle poked at the unappetizing breakfast on her tray. The room was filled with the murmur of other patients, some lost in their own worlds, others engaging in muted conversations of nothingness.A group of three women, notorious for causing trouble, approached Brindle's table. One of them, a tall woman with unkempt hair, sneered down at her."Look at the little princess," she taunted, nudging Brindle's tray so the milk spilled over. "Too good for hospital food, huh?"Brindle stared at her face and clenched her fists, trying to compose herself. But the second woman, short and stout, grabbed a piece of toast off Brindle's tray, stuffed it into her mouth, and laughed hysterically."Leave me alone," Brindle said, her voice low and trembling with anger.The third woman, with a wild look in her eyes, leaned in close. "Or what? You'll cry for your mama?" she said with a laugh.Brindle's patience snapped and she stood

"I'm sorry, Liam," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry for not telling you everything you needed to know about me."He slowly raised his hand, his fingers brushing against her lips to silence her. "Shh," he whispered gently. "It's okay. I'm here for you. All that matters is that you're fine," he said with a slight smile, his hand cradling her face as he spoke, his thumb stroking away her tears. He leaned in, his lips brushing against her cheek in a soft, comforting kiss, then pulled her back into a tight hug."It's all going to be okay," he murmured into her hair.….…………………………"Let me in!" he shouted, his voice tinged with desperation.
