RK contemplated on his decision in his room. He felt as if problems were never seeming to end. One problem was over and other new one cropped up. It was a cycle. He was tired of the cycle. He lit his cigarette - a habit he turns to whenever he gets into a low phase. "What is his problem?", he wondered. He regretted of not throwing Rajbir instantly when he was in double minds. He should have signed Sameer Khan.
Soniya called him in midst of his deep thinking. When he saw her number, he hit his head. He wanted to cut the call. But he picked it up. After formal greeting, she got to the point, " I heard Rajbir had caused ruckus in the set. Is everything fine now?" RK sneered and thought, "Why does she put her nose in every matter?"
"Yes! Everything will be under control. I will throw him out and replace him with some...", he said but soon he was interrupted by Sonia. "No!", she said firmly. He hated being interrupted like that. He was about to raise his voice. But something stopped him. "Ok! Then what do you want me to do?", he said irritatingly.
"Wait for few days. If the same drama goes on, then we will replace him with some other stars. I have some names in my mind", she said. "I was thinking Sameer would be best choice.", he said like a excited kid. "No! No! No! Sameer is to old for my daughter.. I mean for the role.", she immediately rebuffed his offer. His heart sank. He was displeased by her bossy attitude.
He secretly wished that he had never thought of this stupid idea of making public believe the reel romance of actors for promotion sake. Now he had to bear Soniya's dominance for the sake of the movie. He threw his phone in fit of anger after the call was over. He screamed to let his frustration out. His assistants rushed inside to see what was happening."Are you fine, sir?", one of assistant asked meekly. "Leave!", RK shouted. Everyone left his room in fear of his anger outburst.
Rajbir was back to normal. Simran's words bought his lost confidence back. His heart felt less heavy. The pain was almost gone. He got back to work with a bang. He started reading the lines for tomorrow shoot after he planned to gift a token of gratitude to Simran.
