Samaira walked to a secluded corner and stood with the script in her hand, followed by Monique who had a frown on her face
There was no scene or act that Samaira couldn’t perform, she had been a reigning queen for years and had also won some prestigious awards, from a couple of more countries apart from her own, yet when you know the intentions of the other person , even the simplest of scene becomes difficult to perform
“Samaira we’ll roll in ten,” Director Pal shouted across the room, Samaira nodded and looked around for Raul, she did need some motivation and pep to do this particular scene, his presence would have made her feel strong
Mita sat next to Lina, looking like she was ready for a good show, Siddharth and Rebel were in a vanity van discussing some matters when an assistant came ov
When Siddharth pushed Rebel aside and jumped in to pull her out of the huge box, Samaira had already panicked and fainted. No one except Siddharth, Monique and Mita knew that Samaira had Arachnophobia, the fear of spiders. HE was surprised that she was unale to perform such a simple act, but then it suddenly striked him He remembered while watching her from the van when she wasn’t able to perform the scene that once when they were kids and the families had been to an outing to their farm house, she had fainted when she saw a massive cobweb in the trees with a huge garden spider lurking in it, and she had witnessed it attacking a bee two times larger than its own size and finish it in no time The little Samaira had fainted then out of fear and since then she never could bear to see a spider, she would get a panic attack Lina went livid when she l
It was late in the evening and Siddharth forced her to finish two bowls of soup, before letting her be in peace. He had arranged for the dinner to be served in the room, not allowing her to step out of the bed Samaira decided to not resist, like always, she had understood, no matter what, he would do as his wish and will, there was no point in wasting energy defying him. Once done, she was ordered to lay back and rest Her phone buzzed while she was resting, contemplating about a way to leave from here, seeing that it was Ajay, she answered immediately “Brother Ajay,” “Where are you Samaira?,” his voice was laced with anger, it was rude “Brother I .. I’m at..,” “Come home Rig
That night Samaira was restless, she was unable to sleep. Her mind was jumbled up when she thought about all that happened today, right from the shoot till the ruckus that Mita threw at home. It was clear that she wanted to create trouble for Samaira, but what hit her more was the fact that Mita was ready to do this at the cost of disturbing the delicate state of both.. Her husband and her child, which mother would not want to have a happy healthy environment for their child She sighed, throwing aside her quilt she sat up and wanted to drink water, realizing that in her fit of anger she hadn’t brought water up with her, she wore her pair of slippers and walked out At least her brother was on her side, she thought, he was angry but he did not mistrust her, she was sure about that
Samaira reached the sets and got ready, waiting for her call, her mind was preoccupied with a lot of things already, Ajay’s decision to join hands with the Aroras, she was happy for him but something didn’t feel right about it, yet, she could only support her brother, especially when she recalled what she witnessed last night‘Set, yes, I gotta keep a watch on her and see who the man with Mita was last night,’ she thought“Hey Sam, finally an assistant just handed some lines for today,” Monique walked in and handed a few papers to her with her script“Hey you look like you haven’t slept,” Samaira just realised she had brown patches around her eyesShe looked at Monique
Samaira felt uncomfortable at the thought of going to a dinner with him, remembering what happened last time at the club in Paris, she tried to talk him out of it“Mr. Kapoor, I.. I’m not well, I don’t think I can join you, why don't you ask Lina,”He looked at her with a pensive gaze, then sighed“Did I ask?,” like always he was telling and not asking“Mr. Kapoor please,” she looked down, then back up at him“I.. I’m not comfortable with such gatherings, I don’t like people around me and I can’t brea..,”“I will be your oxygen, now come,” he opened the door of his side and stepped out, she k
Samaira saw a handsome young man looking dapper in a black suit, short nape hair that was gelled and styled in a side parting. He looked charming and his smile was sincere when he looked at her, he stood staring at her for a while with that sincere smile still on Samaira ignored him and turned to look back at the painting, though his words echoed in her mind "Beautiful yet lonely, that's how you look in that piece of art," ‘what did he mean?’, she thought, holding the silver lock pendant in her neck and fidgeting with it “Is that so close to your heart?,”, she turned around abruptly, seeing that his gaze was locked at the lock pendant that she was fidgeting with “Even the brilliance of the pearl set worth billions couldn’t outshine that single silver pendant of yours
Siddharth enjoyed the small blush that appeared on her cheeks as she searched for a reply“Wherever I was, my gaze never left you for even a moment. Tell me which painting did you like the best, That?,”He pointed towards the first painting that she had stood gazing for a long timeSamaira was a lover of art and all things beautiful, in past she would always collect rarest and exquisite artefacts from wherever she travelled, that included paintings from famous art masters of the worldNow things were different, so she had trained her mind to only appreciate beautiful things.. No more buying or owning them for her, she did love a painting here, but she couldn’t afford it, and she wouldn’t allow him to buy it for her
Yash was stunned momentarily as he gazed into the ashen face of the woman who had fainted in his arms, he looked up and peeped into the room. The large screen just blacked out, he just got to see a fleeting image of Samaira’s half blurred pictures on itSomeone had changed the pd maybe, these were the pictures that were secretly taken in Paris, Yash looked at the beautiful woman in his arms.“Miss Khanna, Miss Khanna, are you okay, Miss Khanna,” he kept shouting her name and shook her face with his handSamaira came back to her senses and saw Yash’s worried face, she stood up immediately, looking like she was in a daze, massaging her temple with one hand she stood up straight, trying to balance her weak legs, not bothered to look back and walked towards the reception to exit the hotel
