Nadia’s POVA year passed with me working in the film industry as a screenwriter. My second script was accepted too and the short film is about completing now. Now the producer is interested in this story of mine, but the female lead happened to be a ballet dancer.“If you ask me to select the best Bollywood dancer, it will take me forever, but a ballet dancer? Never seen anyone with the passion for it in this industry,” Mr Hrithik told me. For a moment, I stayed mute, digesting his words and contemplating what to tell him. I rolled my eyes a thousand times, puckered my lips, and pressed my hands into each other. If no cast is selected, my script will be rejected. I bit my lower lip.“I want to volunteer to act,” the words vaguely rolled out of my tongue and I immediately regretted it as Mr Hrithik’s forehead creases into a frown. I lowered my gaze to the table and tapped my slender fingers on it while rolling my eyes.“I’m afraid you can’t, Nadia,” he declared. “Sin

Nadia as Nikki’s POVI waited patiently on thebeach, waiting for Vimal. After a long pep talk to my reflection in the mirror,I braced up to open up to Vimal about how I felt about him. When I called him for usto meet up, he said he had a surprise for me too. I wonder what it is. Aftersome minutes of waiting, he finally showed up. He walked up to me and thehappiness that washed over me was indescribable. I hugged him as usual, beamingwith smiles.“I thought you wouldn’tshow up again,” I expressed. “Why wouldn’t I? Sorryfor the delay, I was stuck with something,” he replied. I swallowed my spit andtook hold of his hands. I inhaled deeply, staring into his charming deep blueeyes.“I want to tell yousomething, Vimal,” I said.“Okay, what is it?” heasked.“I… I know this…”“Shit!” he cuts in. “Mypresent is waiting, Nikki. Close your eyes for a minute,” he instructed. Ismiled and nodded. I c

Nadia’s POVIt was another successfulshooting day for all of us. No hiccups this time. As I sat to fix my hair andchange, my mind flashed back to Veer. Like damn, that guy is something else.Even though he was playing the role of my brother, he was still acting somehowtowards me in the act. If I hadn’t subdued my anger, I would have told thedirector to cut. If not for professional sake, I wouldn’t have agreed to hughim. He is a complete psycho, thinking he can get to me after showing himselfoff as one of those who look down on me. Phew! Standing up to go and change,Ria stormed in, making my heart thumbs up.“Shit! What the hell?” Isnapped, catching my breath.“You little witch!” shescorned, moving closer to me. “I know your major goal was to get back to Sidd,seduce him like you always do, and creep your way into his heart. That’s part ofyour delusion. I will make you miserable, Nadia. You will regret ever steppin

Nadia’s POVAfter reassuring Siyathat I would be fine by tomorrow, I headed out. Reaching the foyer, Ria camealong. I was disgruntled by her presence.“Aww! Our crying baby!”she mimicked a funny voice and I furrowed my eyebrows at her. “It seems our littlephoenix has lost its wings. How do you fly now?” she mocked. I chuckled till itturned into a hard laugh. She looked behind her to see what I was laughing at.“What is funny?” she finally asked and I straightened my face.“What do you think isfunny, Ria? When life breaks our wings, we must learn to use our minds andhearts to fly. And once a bird has learned how to fly, it will forever havewings that can’t be broken,” I quoted. “It seems hotheads like you don’tunderstand the meaning of falling weak and rising stronger. Tsk. You mightflatter yourself to be Italic, but I’m striking. Watch me reach the sky andcolor it like a rainbow and twinkle at night like the star

Nadia’s POVI took Veer’s side tomake Sidd even more jealous. But truth be told, I am slowly giving up on Sidd.The anger I feel for him now is taking over the feelings I once had for him. Iled Veer to one of the rooms to check his punched face. I sat him down on astand while I inspected the bruises. His temple had blood trailing down to hischeek and his lower lip was broken. He simply stared at me, not uttering aword. His charming eyes, piercing around my face, made me shiver. I went to geta heating pad. I returned and met him in the position I left him. He looked atme as I walked down to him. He seems to enjoy the fact that I’m furious withSidd. Could he be taking advantage? If he is, then we are both taking advantageof each other because I am using him to make Sidd jealous and whatever his reasonis, it shouldn’t bother me. I crouched in his front, pressing the pad on hisbroken lip.“I’m sorry,” I saidlowly.
