She wanted burst out her anger. Instead she asked gently, "Mom, why? I love him. He isn't like the others. He understands me. He cares about me." "Don't be stupid. Don't act naive. Your career is almost on brink. One stupid decision can spoil your years of hard work. Love may seem rosy now. It will fade within few days. If it doesn't work, tabloid will tag us as failure. You won't get one more chance to redeem yourself while your director lover will be romancing with new actress.", her mom spoke harshly.
Her mother's words stung her heart. "Why do you think our love will fail? Just because you didn't find true love , it doesn't mean I won't. Stop overreacting , mom!", she argued. She quickly apologised when she realised what she had said.
"It's okay, darling. So does he mutually shares the same feeling as you do?", her mom asked. "No. I am going to ask him.",Roop said. "You are assuming that he loves you! He is debut director. This is his first movie. He is simply giving you special treatment because you are first actress he is working with. If you are smart enough, don't let him know about your crush. Forget him. Move on. You have career on stake. Love will come and go. Once your career will take backseat, you can't revive it back. ", her mother said.

I am not sure what he feels. God , why is this too hard?" "You are not teenager . You are a star. You have many things at stake. You can't lose it for some puppy love that you are not sure. ", her mother adviced. "I have always adviced you right. Forget him. Focus on your career.", her mom continued.
Nothing felt so right than today. Varun had decided to share his feelings today. He didn't want to mess it up. He was going to share no matter what happens. He brushed the petals of roses from the bouquet of roses that he bought. He smiled at the thought of how it was going to be.
" Would she blush or smile when I say those three special words? Would she be mad?", he thought as every second of time passed and moment was coming closer. Suddenly he felt a presence behind him. He turned and was startled.
