|| Chapter 3- The Lost World ||
Location- St . Louis college, 12:15 pm!
The area was smoky...when she reached there...she was faint sometime before but now came to conciousness... she coughed... placing her hand on the neck... it was a dark room... she could not see anything...but only some steps ahead in a corner...a dim light was glowing... she reached there... she saw a door infront
of her... and a paper stuck on it...
Vrushika *to herself*- Ye.. door iss side kese.. and yaa ye mirror toh waha rakha tha na ye yaha kese aya.. ye sab opposite kyo hai..
Vrushika *frustrated*- Ye kya hai (she saw the paper) note.. fir wesa hi note.. kya ho raha hai ye.. and Shantanu.. are Shantanu kaha gaya.. ohh shittss mein toh gayi aaj.. Ameeta mam maar dalegi mujhe.. bhag Vrush..
She just kept the note in her jeans pocket... and opened the door of that store room.
The view in front of her eyes was totally different... it was not a shooting place.. but it seemed like some original location.. yes it was College... St . Louis college!
Vrushika- Ye kya hai.. ye location toh ekdum real lag rahi hai jese sacchi ka college ho.. and sab kaha hai.. Ameeta mam.. ADs.. Shantanu.. Sam.. sab kaha hai.. kahi pack up toh nahi ho gaya..? Haan Ameeta mam gussa ho gayi hogi and I am damm sure packup kar diya hoga.. yes tu toh gayi beta..
Vrushika thought it was already Pack up of the shooting so she started walking ahead..she was just roaming randomly but the view caught her eyes...she was amazed...confused... she was searching for the Green Room but it was no where to be found!! She even realised this was not the place where they usually shoot but it
was more likely real College..She got confused but decided to keep her mind calm... and thought that it may be something decided by ADs... She came across the
Rehearsal Hall...and she was about to move ahead when a voice called her...she eventually stopped and looked back...
It was Rey..and Amar according to her...
Rey- Sharon tum kaha chali gayi thi.. achanak gayab ho gayi... all ok na..?? and tumne change kab kiya..??
Vrushika- Amar sir aap yaha hai.. and ek baat batao Ameeta mam zyada gussa toh nahi hai na.. and ye Shantanu kaha hai..? Wo mujhe akele store room mein chodh ke aa gaya.. pagal.. agar Mam kuch bolegi na toh mein bol doongi ki Shantanu ki wajaha se late hui hoon..
Rey *confused*- Sharonn.. you okk na..???!!! And ye Amar sir & Shantanu kaun hai.. usne tumhe store room me lock kiya.. par kyoo..
Vrushika- Kya bol rahe ho aap amar sir..???
Rey- Sharon firse Amar sir..?? I think tumhe ghar jana chahiye.. I know tum VP sir ki baat se upset ho.. so esa sound kar rahi ho.. tumhe rest ki zaroorat hai.. tum jao ghar.. yaha mein aur Swayam dono sambhal lenge..
Vrushika- Kya bol rahe ho aap??? *in mind* Kahin scene toh nahi start hai.. but Camera's toh kahi dikh nahi rahe and ye jo lines bol rahe hai wo bhi script mein nahi thee.. toh Amar sir kar kya rahe hai..
Vrushika- Amar sir aap mujhe batao packup ho gaya hai kya.. and aaj set different lag raha hai na.. ekdum original sa..??
Rey - Set.. packup??Kya bol rahi ho tum.. koi play ya movie thodi hai jo set and packup hoga..
Vrushika *in mind*- Ye zaroor mujhe pagal bana rahe hai.. haan prank hoga koi new.. but iss time mein pagal nahi banoongi.. Shantanu ka hi plan hoga.. ruk beta Shantanu..
Rey- Ab kaha kho gayi.. kya soch rahi hoon.. ghar jana hai..? Tum jao yaha hum handle kar lenge..
Vrushika- No.. no ways.. mein kyo jaoongi ghar.. nahi mein yahi rahoongi..
Rey- But Sharon..
Vrushika- meine bol diya na.. toh bas.. I m not going anywhere..
Rey *sigh*- As your wish, ab chale..
Vrushika- Kaha??
Rey *pointing towards RH*- Waha.. sab wait kar rahe honge...
Vrushika just nodded in a confused manner...
Vrushika- Ya! *Thoughts* Karlo aap prank but aaj nahi jitne doongi aap logo ko.. har baar esa hi karte ho.. aaj toh ajeeb behave kar rahe ho.. ek toh pehele hi subaha se ajeeb ajeeb cheezhe ho rahi hai mere saath.. uppar se inhe bhi aaj hi ye harkate karni thee.. but koi nahi.. dekhte hai amar sir kaun jit-ta hai..
Then they moved towards Rehearsal hall..
Simmi- Ye log bhi aa gaye..
All- Hey guys!
Vrushika- Hey.. tum log yaha..
She was just about to say something but was interrupted by Simmi...
Simmi- Tum logo ne change bhi nahi kiya.. rehearsal nahi karni hai kya?
Vrushika- Rehearsals!! Koi new dance hone wala hai kya? Choreography kaun kar raha hai? Shantanu, Maccy ya fir Nimit? And konsa song chose kiya hai?
The gang looked at her in shock... Nilesh n Vicky exchanged looks... Rey kept his hand on his forehead...Amar who was just drinking water splits it out...Vrushika just shrugged her shoulders thinking what she spoke which made him react like this! Simmi went to her and kept her hand on her shoulder...
Simmi- Babes.. ye Shantanu, Maccy and Nimit kaun hai.. and choreography toh hum hi karenge.. Rey, Swayam ya tum.. toh aur kisi ki kya zaroorat humme...
Nilesh- Yaa exactly.. aur tum bhool gayi kya affiliation milne ke liye dance hoga..
Bharat- Banta log.. apun ko lagta hai ye Sharon ka pech(screw) dhilla ho gaya hai.. puch rahi hai konsa dance..
All of them are giving hi5 to each other and making fun of her..
Vrushika- Ohh so tum sab bhi.. good mein hi milti hoon na sabko target karne ke liye.. karlo.. but iss baar mein nahi aoongi tum logo ki baton mein.. huh!
Rey thought that comething was wrong... he diverted the topic...
Rey- Wo actually VP sir ne meeting ke liye bulaya tha hume.. suddenly so..
Nilesh- Accha.. update dene ke liye bulaya hoga..
Just then Swayam arrived..
Swayam- Haan musical ki updates lene ke liye..
Vrushika- Youu!!
She pointed towards Swayam with deadly glare..
Vrushika continues- Yeh sab tera hi plan hai na.. sabko bhi include kar liya na apne plan mein tune.. ganda.. mujhse baat mat karna ab.. and tu mujhe store room
mein akela chodh ke aa gaya tha.. ruk nahi sakta tha.. tujhe ek cheezh dikhani thi.. but chodh ab nahi dikhaoongi.. huh!
Swayam *eyes wide*- Sharonn.. are you okay?? Ye kya bol rahi ho tum.. and meine kab tumhe store room mein akela chodha.. mein toh in fact store room gaya hi Vrushika- Karle.. nahi karle.. jee bhar ke karle nautanki.. har time esa hi karta hai tu.. bohot majhe ate hai na pange lene mein. . Karle.. mein baat hi nahi karoongi
Swayam looked at Rey who was just expressionless... Swaym looked tensed about it.. he was not able to guess her behaviour for the first time...
Swayam *thinks*- Sharon ko ho kya gaya hai...and ye kabse "TU" karke baat karne lagi.. and rank...Sharon!! VP Sir ki baat se aisa behaviour..! May be koi baat ho... shayad Rey ko pata ho... uss se hi puch leta hun...
Swayam *hits Rey by elbow*- Ye kya bol rahi hai.. isse kya hua hai..
Rey- Pata nahi abhi bahar corridor mein bhi ese hi behave kar rahi thee.. mujhe toh koi aur name se bula rahi thee.. kya tha wo haan.. Amar sir! Pata nahi kya ho Swayam- Rey, I think.. Sharon VP sir ki baat se upset hai.. usse ghar jana chahiye..
Rey- Dude, meine bola usse.. but ye Sharon hai..!
Swayam- Yaa SIREN Sharon Rai Prakash.. and her "mein theek hoon" wala attitude!
They both passed smile to each other!
Rey *in mind*- Kuch toh gadbad hai.. Sharon Ruhi ko leke itna upset thee.. and now VP sir ki shocking news.. and ab Sharon ka esa behavior.. kahi Ruhi ne toh Swayam- Sharon I think tumhe ghar jana chahiye.. tum upset lag rahi ho..
Swayam looks at her with concern in his eyes...he was hell tensed about her..
Vrushika- Guys, now its enough.. theek hai na bohot ho gaya.. mein Ameeta mam ko bol doongi ab.. and wese bhi ye thoda weird hai.. na koi camera's hai nahi koi setup.. ye different lag raha hai.. mujhe bohot ajeeb lag raha hai guys.. Please stop ur pranks.. Ameeta mam bhi nahi hai.. na hi spot dada.. koi bhi nahi nazar aa
raha.. set bhi ekdum alag hai..
Everyone stopped their laughing and gave a weird expression... Bharat was turning furious...
Bharat- Tu kya pagal ho gayi hai...tera dimag thikane pe to hai na???
Swayam- Oye Bharat !! Chup na yaar..
Vrushika couldn't guess what was happening around her...
Amar opened his eyes in shock! Vicky was angry but Nilesh cooled him down... Only Rey, Swayam n Simmi were calm yet tensed...
Simmi- Babes, what are you trying to say.. hamara college.. College nahi hai..?
Swayam- Sharonn..
Vrushika- Tu toh chup reh.. mujhe baat nahi karni tujhse..
Rey- Sharon tum baar baar set set kya kar rahi ho.. koi play hone wala hai kya college mein.. jiske bare mein hum aware nahi hai..
Vicky- Are play.. sharon play ka theme kya hai.. koi director ayega kya sikhane..
Nilesh- Are.. agar firse nana aa gaye toh..
Chorus *except Swayam n Vrushika*- Nahiii...
Vrushika now started feeling awkward.. scared.. mixed feelings were running through her nerves...
Vrushika- Mein jaa rahi hoon.. tum logo ne nahi manna na.. mujhse baat mat karna ab..
And she just left the rehearsal hall...
She was slowly walking...gazing at every thing around her which made her feel scared...not because anything was scary but it was not the same anymore... It was not like the Sets where they used to have fun, shoot and enjoy...and they even played pranks but for her this was something serious... Vrushika was upset...feeling
sad... A fear of Ameeta Mam's scolding also was over her...she was not able to sense anything at this point...
Vrushika- Ye...mein kaha ghume jaa rahi hun... mujhe rasta bhi nahi mil raha...abhi yeh Corridor se gayi thi..fir wahin!!! Ye set change hua hoga..n..no...aisa nahi hoga...set kaha jayega...but abhii...
She was lost...tears glittered in her eyes...
Vrushika- M..aaj sab kuch wierd...Shantanu..Sam..pure gang ajeeb behave kar rahi thi.. koi aisa prank kaise khel sakta hai... ab I..I just want to go home...ghar jaana hai..Mom Dad ke saath rahungi...I'll feel good... aur Kal se fir routine mein... sab thik ho jaye...
Swayam also came behind but didn't find her for long time...he was worried for her... and just a minute after he found her... lost in her thoughts!! He called out
her name loud... Tears were about to roll down Vrushika's eyes when she heard it..she wiped her tears..
Swayam- Sharon.. Sharon ruko... ruko please..
Vrushika turned back and looked at him.. tears were actually visible in her eyes still...
Vrushika- Kyon aye ho ab..
Swayam *soft*- Sharon tum gussa ho..? upset ho..? kya hua hai..?
Vrushika- Firse wahi.. leave me alone..
Swayam- Sharon ab kya hua.. meine kuch galat bola kya..? Atleast batao...
Vrushika- Nahi.. tune kyo galat bola. Meri galti hai na.. tu jaa... tum log apna prank continue karo na... jao.. see mein ghar jaa rahi hoon... happy now! Mission Swayam *with tears*- Sharon kya hua.. Please batao.. tumhe aaj se pehele kabhi ese baat karte hue nahi dekha..
Vrushika also found him tear-ed eye...She thought he was just acting...
Vrushika- Jab mam action bolti hai tab toh aisi acting nahi karta tu.. re takes leta hai ab badhi acting nikal rahi hai teri.. tu chodh mujhse baat hi mat kar..
Swayam *in mind*- Sharon is actually disturbed...dont know wo share nahi kar rahi hai..I mean usse khud nahi pata ki wo kya bole jaa rahi hai...
Swayam *to her* Mein tumhe drop kar doon..?
Vrushika- No thanks.. ehsan karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..
Swayam- At least bahar tak toh chodh doon..
Vrushika didn't want to talk.. she just wanted to leave..
She started walking..he followed her...they were walking from the Corridor... Swayam was continuously strarting at her... A feeling of uneasiness accompanied him...
He felt different...
Swayam- Umm...and by the way mujhe kya ho raha hai...I mean aisa kyun feel ho raha hai ki...Sharon mujhse door hai... chal rahi hai saath but still too far... Maana ab hum saath nahi hai...but still...aisa kyu..
Vrushika *whispers*- Auto bhi nahi dikha raha.. kal tak toh yaha auto hote the but ab nahi hai.. entrance ka bhi view different hai..
She looked at Swayam.. who was staring at her..
Vrushika- Don't tell me sab auto walo ko bhi tumne bhagaya hai..
Swayam- Whatt..?? Mein kyo bhagaunga.. and tum auto se kabse travel karne lagi.. tumhari car hai na..
Just then Sharon's car arrived infront..
Swayam- See.. aa gayi tumhari car..
Vrushika- Huh..? I mean CAR??? Tu pagal hai...
Swayam- What's with you?? Tum car mein hi aati ho n Car se hi jaati ho...
Vrushika *sigh*- Wohoa..acha fine ye meri car hai...may be ye next prank ka step ho tum logon ka!!
Swayam- Prank!! Okay...thik hai...you feel it's a prank...okay...now sit..and go!!
Vrushika- Itne sarcasm ki kya zaroorat hai huh... mein kyun jaun isme??
Swayam- Tumhare liye hai...tumhari hai...so just sit inside...
Vrushika nodded with anger and sat inside...Swayam instructed the Driver to not to listen if she argues...just tell her he'll drop her safe.
When they were far from College she immediately asked the Driver to stop.
Driver- Sharon...aap chinta mat kariye mein apko apke ghar hi pohocha raha hun...
Vrushika- Par ye kaha...
Driver didn't listen to her...she also stopped her thinking else...and covered her face with her palm...
In no time they were infront of Sharon's home.
Driver- Ye lijiye...aagaya apke ghar...
Vrushika's head shot up and she looked at her left... She just came out and was horrified.
Vrushika- Y...yee..mera ghar n..nahi hai...ye to Sharon..j..jaha rehti hai..I mean mera role wala view hai..but fir original kaise??? God..mein andar jaakar hi dekhti hun...may be I find someone...
Vrushika entered in Sharon's home..
Vrushika couldn't sense what was going around her...she was afraid of loneliness... she gulped down her saliva in tension...and fear... it was all original...which had to set, cameras and shooting place...
She settled down on the couch.. she couldn't stop her tears from shedding down.
Vrushika *crying*- Please god.. ye kya ho raha hai mere saath.. mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha.. ye Sharon ka ghar.. ye real hai.. mein yaha.. mujhe ghar jana hai.. mom dad ke paas.. mujhe ghar jana hai.. Please god.. Please!
She just kept thinking and then her mind travelled to what happened sometime ago...
(It is actually the FLASHBACK) IN VRUSHIKA's POV.
Vrushika- Meine..kya bola tha...huh...Waar er is liefde er is leven! I found that sentence incomplete as dust was hiding the complete one...then meine wo mirror ko touch kiya tha..haan..mujhe kuch kuch ajeeb, different lagne laga tha...
Vrushika kept forcing her mind to remember what happened with her next.
Vrushika- Even my mind started revolving... and yes I held my head... fir...umm...Shanta...haan Shantanu ka adha hi naam bol paayi thi...aur mujhe jerk laga yes!! M..mein ruk gayi thi... mujhe samajh hi nahi aa raha tha kuch.. Goodd!!!
Vrushika clutched the couch...
Vrushika- Fir meine wo achanak se...bina ruke wo incompete quote bol diya tha.. matlab mujhe aisa laga jaise koi mujhe wo bulwa raha tha...kya tha wo..h... Waar er is liefde er is leven...Waar er is liefde er is leven... Waar er is liefde er is leven...
Vrushika closed her eyes...the images were flashing infront of her eyes...
Vrushika- I started feeling low...and jo chocolate meine Shantanu ke haath se li thi wo...yeah..wo bhi to gir gayi thi and jo already open bhi thi..shayad haan...aur mirror tha saamne use mera...mera haath laga ya touch kiya meine...!!!! Aur firr...
She opened her eyes...
Vrushika- Mujhe toh yahi yaad hai ki meine uss stupid mirror ko touch kiya tha.. and mein yaha.. matlab !!!!! Nahi aisa nahi ho sakta.. mein Reel world mein nahi aa sakti..kyunki yeh sab vaise hi hai...ab samajh aa raha hai mujhe... Shantanu ko batana hoga..ye sab...
She instantly looked for it...searched for her phone.. but her phone was not with her.. she was getting restless!
She searched her pocket but in spite of mobile phone some paper came out.. she was about to throw that paper but suddenly something striked her that this was the same piece of paper which she found when she came in this mirror world...
she opened it and gave it a read...
"Everyone wants changes in life...but not always the changes are better"
Vrushika- Ye iska kya matlab ho sakta hai.. changes..Sahi to hai...mein bolti rehti thi...mujhe aisa world chahiye aisa chahiye...aur ab...dekho mila to.!!..I am foolish, mad, dumb, arghhh... Shantanu ne kaha tha...in sab pe dhyaan nahi de... par see...meine diya...aur...ab!!!!
She started crying hysterically...
Vrushika- Shantanu...par...wo...mujhe..mujhe...I mean...mein waha nahi hun...wo mujhe dhund raha hogaa...*snifs* Kassh..mein bata paati...mein yahan
hun...mujhe wahin jaanaa hai...aahnnn...Mumyyy Papaaa !!! Mujhe le jao... plzzz...ahh kahi mein hamesha ke liye toh yaha nahi rehe jaoongi na.. nahi.. no.. mujhe ghar jana hai... mummmyyy papaaa...please...
