OS: Help her change
He walked in looking at the very spot, he always checked first when he arrived on set. There she was sitting in her usual corner busy with her phone. "Ms. Punctual..." he mumbled under his breath. He observed her for a second, like he normally does, usually she would catch eyes with him as if she felt his arrival. That was not the case today, she was in her own thoughts it seemed. He felt something was different about her than usual, the difference he didn't feel good about. He knew something bothered her, he thought he should go up to her .
"You're late bhai, get ready for the shot we'll start to roll in 10.." one of the assistant director came and told him before he took the step.
Was she upset at the fact he was late again, he wondered and went to change. He wasn't late on purpose, his intentions were never to make her wait, but this was sort of his habit, a habit that he too tries to change and fail just like his attempts at quitting smoking and less partying.
"Action" the director called out and they started to play their part, he keenly observed her, each of her movement and noticed the untold pain her eyes, the pain she wasn't meant to act, the pain she was trying to hide.
"What's wrong" he asked holding onto her with utmost sincerity.
"Cut! That's not on the script.. Where's your mind at? " the director called out on him. She also looked puzzled at him. He realized what he just said was out of his onscreen character "sorry, one more".
Things went as directed, it was another her consoling him scene, usually such scenes never bothered him but today the way she delivered her dialogue seemed different. He tried to crack few jokes here and there in between the takes, she smiled but it didn't reached her eyes like it usually did. "What's wrong with her today? " he again and again wondered.
" And CUT, we'll meet after lunch" the director told the crew. She turned to walk away. Well that's her, she always like to keep to herself, but today he didn't feel content in leaving her that way.
" let's all meet for lunch" he said. She turned and nodded. "You brought enough sweets to share with everyone?" he asked teasingly to lighten her mood.. "I'll bring what I have" she responded a little coldly then her usual way. He waited a moment "is everything okay?...you look a little disturbed" he finally asked what he intended realizing nothing he was doing was cheering her up. "I'm fine" she said with her fake smile and walked away before he could say he knew she wasn't.
He and her, shared a different type of relationship, something that wasn't easy to explain.Maybe its because they were so different themselves. Their taste was different, their views were different. For starter her favorite color was white while he liked black, he was loud and she was quite, he was all about friends while her priorities was family, he was a socialite and she was reserved, she was punctual and hes always late, he dreamed the lavish lifestyle while she treasured the simple things of life. The list could go a lot longer but to put in short they were opposites in every sense. She has called out on his rude behaviours and he felt annoyed with her sweet nature at times,yet they never failed to respect and admire each other. They weren't best of friends, they never chilled outside the sets or got drunk like he does with his other buddies but that doesn't mean she was any less important to him. He cared for her, always has and always will. No matter what the media quoted,she was his friend. It seemed she didn't feel him a friend enough to share her story and he was bothered, with her and about her.
Throughout the meal he watched her as everyone else laughed and enjoyed. She was the silent observer today, her giggly laughs, the excitement she showed while listening to others and her inputs were all missing. He was about to call out on her faking a new controversy about them, but she got up and excused herself.
"do me a favour" he told one of his other female co-star
"What is it?"
" can you go talk to her, something is a miss I feel, ask her to open up"
He waited for his spy on mission to return.
"Did you find out?" he asked
"Yeah...I feel bad for her"
"What happened ?"
"They broke -up..."
"WHAT ?!? ...why? Why would anyone break up with her...has he lost it? " he stopped as soon as he realized his co-star was staring him down.He was angry.
Well that explained her gloomy behavior he figured. He wanted to go give her hug and tell her everything is okay and he's there for her but just then she walked out just as the director called them for their next shot. In short time the news spread among their colleagues and one by one showed their support to her. Everyone did, except him. He didn't want to give her his sympathy because that's not what he felt. To him love was overrated matter, she wasn't the only one going through a break up, hes been through it before. Plus according to him it was better to be happy alone then unhappy together. But he felt pain her pain. He knew how much the relationship mattered to her. All he wanted was for her to get over it as soon as possible and people shouldn't bother her with their curious mind.
" You should take her out" he told his female co-star again. " maybe a movie, something to take of her mind off " he suggested.
" sounds good, I shall ask" she told him
" make her go" he said sternly before they packed up for the day,
He was lying in his bed tossing and turning. He wanted to help her, show her that there are much better things awaiting for her. He wanted to give her assurance but importantly he wanted to be assured that she was okay. He thought he should text her or even call her up. He took his phone and accidentally hit the instagram app, there she has posted a new picture of her outing with a slight smile and hashtags revealing her goals. She wanted to break barriers, change to live and open up. He smiled reading that because now he knew she was strong and determined, no need to give her any pep talk. All he had to do was help her accomplish her new goals. He set the alarm and went to bed, he didn't want to make her wait again.
He knew he need to change a bit if he wanted to bring a change in her...
