Filming continued at the same location. What seemed busy was not the cast, but the crew. The players just waited for instructions for their turn. If it's not their turn, they sat a lot, memorizing roles or talking to other players.But not with Praveen. He was so immersed in the process. He observed everything how the crew worked. This was a first and new experience for him. And it's been a dream ever since.It was unimaginable, a moment like this had finally arrived. Imagine when he was determined to go to Mumbai, wanted to become a film actor, or at least be involved in the film-making process. From one audition to another he followed, but almost all failed. He almost gave up. Even in front of his mother's cremation he promised not to try his luck again in the world of cinema.But who would have thought, when he was doing another profession that was far from his dream, suddenly the opportunity came without being pursued. In fact, he got two chances at once. Fate is unpredictable.
“I was just about to sleep. Don't you go to sleep?" asked Praveen."I can't sleep.""Hey, why can't you sleep?""I don't know. My illness recurred again,” said Yashomati on the other side."Illness. What illness? I saw you on set you were okay? Why are you suddenly feel illness?”"I suffer from Insomnia," the girl answered in a made-up voice. Praveen gulped. Why was Yashomati's voice sighing like this on the phone? Is she acting? Acting seduce him?"Is that true?" asked Praveen pretending to be surprised. "Since when are you insomniac?"“Since meeting you!” she answered shamelessly. But there was a laugh on the other side. Praveen guessed. Was she really joking or seducing him? When it came to being seduced, Praveen already had a lot of experience. It was common for women to try to seduce him, especially women who like her. It was because of the gift he had. But he did not take advantage of this gift at all because he was not the type of man who was easily teased. He didn't know if th
When Praveen came to the school, he was greeted by the sound of children singing under the guidance of the teachers. They looked happy that morning as usual. Like there were no burdens and problems in life. All they known was that life was truly beautiful and joyful. It could be seen in their happy faces.Praveen was stunned at the door. Zoya was seen singing along with the kids. She didn't notice Praveen's arrival.Praveen was free to see the girl. In his eyes, Ashita was indeed talented as a teacher."Good morning! Who are you looking for?" someone approached him. The Principal, Mrs. Fateema. Praveen greeted her."Good morning ma'am. I want to see Miss Ashita Agrawal.""What do you need to see her for?""I'm her friend. A few days ago I promised to give donation for this school," Praveen replied.Mrs. Fateema stared at Praveen as if probing. Handsome and kind young man. Was this the person that Ashita told about?""What's your name?" asked Mrs. Fateema."Praveen Jayachandran!" Prave
"I'm worried. Please Remember Praveen, you're just starting your career as a movie star. You know, being a movie star requires a lot of capital. Not that I underestimate your good intentions in donating, but you need to upgrade yourself so that your appearance is really supportive, and It requires a lot of capital.""I think I have enough capital.""You don't understand what I mean. If you really intend to be in the celebrity world, you have to change your appearance. Facial capital alone is not enough. You need everything such as appearance, lifestyle as well as body and facial care. You can't only be smart like most youths with a simple and modest appearance.""Having appearance like this I already got an offer, really!" said Praveen confidently."That's because you went viral. How do you get the agency's attention? Of course you have to improve your appearance, right? Besides continuing to hone your skills?""Is that so? How do you know, Ashita?" asked Praveen innocently.Zoya smil
"come on, Zoya! think about it! You can't let Praveen and Uncle Rajesh meet! Your identity can be exposed and everone here will know you! Everything could be messed up! Your safety can also be jeopardized in this Dharavi!" Zoya tried to think hard.But her brain suddenly froze. Oh no!"Ashita what happen to you?" Mrs. Fateema asked her again. Of course she was surprised to see the unusual behavior of her new teacher."Never mind, Miss Fateema. I'm all right." Zoya was still trying to cover up her panic. She caught a glimpse of Praveen on the bench outside. He still looked calm looking at his phone. Maybe he's having fun chatting with someone."You have an appointment with that handsome man?" asked Mrs. Fateema guessing. In her mind, maybe the girl would go on a date with him."Sorry, ma'am! Can I go for a while?""Where are you going?""Um... um... I suddenly have a stomach ache. It's normal. I want to buy sanitary pads, just in case it comes suddenly!""That's not a problem, Ashita!
With firm and determined steps, Rajesh Kumar made his way down the winding road in Dharavi to the Doorna Kindergarten. In his hand was a folder containing important documents of building ownership. He had completed all the buying and selling affairs and signed by a notary. There's nothing that couldn't be done with money in this world. All problems were easy. What a lucky TK Doorna thanks to Zoya. If only the employer's daughter didn't teach there, maybe now the school is closing because it was evictedThe other day he had planned everything, that Zoya would teach at Chhota Tara, but due to a miscommunication between his subordinate, Anil, and the principal there, the plan failed. It's not a problem for Zoya, but a problem for Chakrapani the principal. He was forced to step down because of his arrogance. Chhota Tara School was one of the schools that Vishaya supported through its corporate social assistance program. The company's donation was quite a lot for the continuity of the schoo
"Anil! It's me, Rajesh Kumar. Why didn't you tell me that Zoya now has a boyfriend?" said Rajesh as the phone connected. The man on the other end sounded a little nervous. He really didn't expect Rajesh Kumar calling him about it."I... I don't think it's important information, Boss. He's just a normal guy.""An ordinary guy? What do you mean?" Rajesh's voice was up. "So you already know?""His name is Praveen. He's just a young cake seller. Not dangerous at all. That's why I didn't inform you, Boss.""What? A cake seller? He's a food seller?" Rajesh couldn't believe what he was hearing at all. How can the daughter of a famous conglomerate in Mumbai, a graduate of the world's top university, have a beautiful face, be close friends with a food seller? It didn't make sense!"Boss! He's not an ordinary food seller. He's been viral lately on social media because of his good looks. Don't you know? I think Zoya who wants to be friends with him. Maybe she likes him as other girls.""No way!
They were in a menswear outlet, looking for clothes that would suit Praveen. He had just bought a pair of shirts and pants that he would wear later for the casting of the photo shoot. Just a casual shirt and cotton pants. Now the official dress for the party if there was an invitation to launch the first film.Praveen looked restless in the shop after so many shirts he had seen, none of the prices match. All expensive according to the size of his pocket.Why did Ashita invite me in here? Whispered his heart."Praveen, this shirt suits you," said Zoya, taking a maroon shirt made of soft fabric from the display hanger. Praveen looked at the shirt. It's good and looked classy. But his eyes were more on the price tag. It said 3000 rupees. Crazy! Expensive, he hissed. Almost a third of his first honorarium."Good! But I couldn't stand the price. Let's find something else!" "All the clothes in this shop are expensive, Ashita," Praveen said in a half whisper."But this is good for you!""I
Meanwhile, far away in Mumbai, Sunil Chakraborty still could not accept the reality of what had happened.He was angry, but did not know how to vent his anger. Why did all this come to light?This must be the result of Roohan's failure, the man he had assigned to eliminate Praveen. If only he had succeeded, it would have been a different story. That man would have rotted at the bottom of the river!He had paid Roohan. He had to take responsibility for this failure! He should not deny it like that day, at least he should get his reward!Sunil still felt his chest burning with emotion. He would teach Roohan a lesson!He immediately left the house. But his steps stopped when Amaneesh stopped him."Where are you going?""I have some business to finish!""No! You stay home for now! Let me take care of everything!""No, Dad!" said Sunil, ignoring his father's words. He continued walking towards his car and soon the car was out of the garage.Amaneesh was furious, but could not do anything.
The afternoon was approaching.The Balinese bridal make-up artist had finished dressing Zoya. She seemed satisfied with her work.“It’s done. You can look in the mirror now!” said her with a smile.Zoya turned her body slowly to face the large mirror not far from her and was immediately stunned.Is that really her?She looked very different wearing a typical Balinese bridal kebaya in maroon and decorated with gold thread embroidery. Her head was decorated with a majestic floral metal crown that was also gold in color. Both of her wrists wore gold color bracelets. Prada songket cloth with a color that matched the kebaya she was wearing further enhanced her appearance.The make-up on her face was not striking so that her beautiful face looked even more beautiful.She stared at her reflection in the mirror for a long time, not expecting it to be herself.However, she had a little difficulty moving her head because the crown was quite heavy, around three kg.She convinced herself that she
The Balinese woman looked so graceful in the traditional dress. She wore a short white kebaya with a silver Prada cloth with a floral motif.Her black hair was pulled up into a bun. She was around mid-thirties and spoke fluent English.“So you two will be married with Balinese customs and rituals?”“Yes, of course. I have longed to marry with Balinese rituals. It just so happens that India and Bali have similarities,” Zoya explained.She smiled and looked at the two of them alternately. There was a sense of amazement in her eyes. The girl looked beautiful and the man was so handsome. They both looked so harmonious, especially later when they wear Balinese traditional clothes. Of course it would be even more charming.She had served quite a lot of clients who were about to get married, and most of them were Westerners, but this time she met a unique client from India.Judging from their appearance, they were not from just anyone. If not the upper class, then they must be public figures
Zoya and Praveen had landed in Bali three hours ago and now they had checked in at a resort in the Seminyak region. Zoya had made a reservation before so they didn't have to bother booking a hotel.Praveen didn't expect to go this far. This was the first time in his life he saw the outside world directly. It never even crossed his mind to be on this island of the gods. Not for leisure pursuit but to get married!No! He didn't feel tired after a long journey, in fact when he set foot in Ngurah Rai Airport his chest was still beating fast. Since leaving India, he felt like he entered a new world.Uncertain? Alienated? No! He didn't feel lost as long as Zoya was by his side. She gave him energy and determination so strong that he was a man who could overcome all obstacles.He had passed the biggest obstacle perfectly, taking away the lover he loved so much to escape from the one-sided match made by her parents.Coming out of the airport he was already fascinated by the pleasant atmospher
“What’s wrong? What are you guys talking about in there?” Sunil asked curiously.Stupid kid!If there were no other people around, Amaneesh would have slapped him. But he held back his anger so as not to raise further suspicion.“Come on, go home! I want to talk to you at home!”“Just tell me here now. I want to know!” Sunil said curiously.Amaneesh shook his head. He saw several of his subordinates standing looking at him in surprise.“You guys go back to the office now! We’ll talk later!”His subordinates took a respectful position,“Yes, sir!” said them.Sunil couldn’t accept it, he just walked briskly into Narendra’s room and opened the door,“What are you talking about with my father, Mr. Narendra?!” he asked loudly.Narendra was sitting on the sofa realizing the mistake he had made. Seeing Sunil act like that, his disgust surfaced again, he really didn’t want to see the young man’s face again.“Just ask your father! From now on I don’t want to see anymore! Get out of my room now
Rajesh Kumar was cheered. He quickly got up and half ran out to his car. In less than half an hour he was at the cafe that Narendra usually visited.Apparently Rajesh had arrived first. Narendra was not there yet. He immediately took a seat in the corner of the cafe and ordered a drink.Not long, finally Narendra appeared alone. He entered with brisk steps and sat across from Rajesh.“How are you, sir! Long time no see!” he said, starting the conversation.Narendra ignored him and went straight to the point.“Why did you tell me this now? Why?”“Because this is the best time to reveal everything!”“No! It’s too late!”“Not for me!”“Where did you get that evidence?” asked Narendra.Rajesh then explained in as much detail as possible.Narendra Prasadh listened with an angry expression. How could a police officer do something bad to get his personal desires and the police officer was… his future son-in-law? Truly, he had been deceived!“Your daughter has found a suitable man as her life
Two investigators came to see Mr. Amaneesh that night. They brought very important news.“We have checked the immigration data at the airport and got the names we are looking for, Sir! It turns out that Miss Zoya and Praveen Jayachandran took a flight abroad. They managed to escape to Singapore!” said a police officer named Sukhdev excitedly. His other colleague nodded in agreement.“That’s right! They left at 4:10 in the morning, and this data has been matched with the airline passenger manifest!”“They fled abroad?” said Amaneesh as if in disbelief. He did not know whether this was good or bad news because if this was true, their pursuit would be more difficult unless they asked for help from Interpol.But was it possible, considering that they were not criminals or perpetrators of crimes that harmed the country?Nothing is impossible. He could have used his authority as the Mumbai police chief.“What else did you get?”“That’s it. I think this is a very important clue, so I reporte
There were no significant results of the investigation even though Amaneesh had ordered many of his personnel. Some were ordered to Dharavi, some to modeling agencies, and advertising agencies and more to guard the borders.But none of them yielded results.Towards evening, Mrs. Fateema was even more shocked to see Sunil and his men arrive at her house. They interrogated her again, even though previously in Doorna she had been visited by the police asking about Praveen's whereabouts. Of course she did not know where he was. Since Zoya's identity was revealed, he had never been there again. What shocked her the most how Sunil knew where she lives?"Don't try to hide something from me, Mrs. Fateema!" said Sunil intimidatingly."Why would I hide him whereabouts, Sir! I have no idea at all. Since Ashita, I mean... Miss Zoya is no longer in Doorna, he has also never come again! Especially since he started to become famous!"“You don’t know where he lives?”“I don’t know exactly! But he sa
The wedding ceremony that was planned to take place this morning really ended in a mess, even though the hotel had made good preparations. The hall had been neatly arranged, both the stage and the arrangement of chairs and tables for the guests. Decorations full of flowers were already available. So was the catering.But all that was in vain because the bride ran away.Approaching 10 o'clock, the hall was actually quiet. Guests who did not know and had already come were not allowed to enter the building. The hotel was closed to guests.Of course, many guests were shocked, not expecting the party to be canceled. Not a few were disappointed because they had already come.In connection with being closed, Narendra's family could not hide their shame.This was the first time in his life he felt humiliated, not by someone else, but by his own child.Was there a wrong decision that made his daughter choose to run away rather than follow his wishes?But what was wrong? Isn't it his duty as a
