The shoot was over. The post production activities started. Her mother watched her suffer. She hardly spoke to anyone. She had turned into her old self. She became cold. Her smile had vanished. The glow in her eyes were fading. It was now filled with pain. Since the last interaction with her mother, she had consciously distanced herself from him and everyone else.
She wanted to speak to him. But her mother's words hit her and her courage vanished. She didn't dare to speak to him. She was in turmoil of promises she had made to her mother before she had entered the stardom. She had promised her mother she would never leave her.
Varun secretly watched her whenever he had the opportunity. He was disturbed by her cold demeanor. He wanted to know what was disturbing her. But he couldn't muster the courage to speak to her. He had tried to break out of this so called ' promise' he made to himself. He couldn't. Every time he thought of speaking to her, he was reminded of the harsh words of his uncle. Those words bought in memories of the sweat and pain he had put into his debut movie.
The promotions of movie had begun. They were present for all the promotional events. Their interaction with the media was professional. There was no show of bonding between each other. Their friendship was severely affected by the new relationship both wanted. But paparazzi and page 3 journalists were behind their romance. They didn't stop their comments on their relationship. This affected both of them.
Varun was busy scheduling the dates for next promotional event while his uncle Anant stormed into his cabin. "I need you to settle this. No one seems to be interested with the movie. They are only behind your relationship with Roop. I want you to clear this tomorrow. I have invited everyone for press conference. I want you to get them focus on the movie.", Anant said sternly.
Varun didn't speak. He was too tired. A good rest was what he needed.
