Chapter 4 Arjun comes to his bedroom when he sees his phone is indicating that some one is calling him thorough the vibration. He picks up the phone and sees Ovi's name on the screen.
"Hey Arjun, how are you? why have you switched off your other mobile phone? are you all right baby? I was trying to reach you for so long" Ovi says in a very pampered voice over phone
"Yes Ovi, I am alright, you say if you have any urgency" Arjun says in irritating voice
"why are you saying like this Arjun?/ you know today our picture has released and it has already been declared as one of the blockbuster of the year, we should celebrate it together, don't you think so too? Ovi says it in excitement
"that's really good news Ovi, but currently I am not in a mood of celebration, can we do it later please?" Arjun says it without showing any enthusiasm
"This is not fare, Arjun my darling, I know you do not like these filmy parties and all, but I have already arranged a candle light dinner only for you and me in Hotel Taaj, please be there sharp at 8 o'clock honey" Ovi says in a deep voice
"But I was thinking to spend this night differently Ovi, I thought of going to the GT Road Dhaba, and you know they really make some delicious Chicken Tandoori, you would definitely love it Ovi, then let's go together" Arjun smiles
"Ehhh, have you gone crazy Arjun? we are stars, don't forget it and we have to maintain some status too, have you ever think what will be our reputation if paparazzi takes our snaps in those ugly roadside Dhabas??" Ovi says in anger
"I really give a damn to your status, reputation and paparazzi, talk to you later Ovi" says Arjun and press the red button of the phone without giving any further chance to Ovi.
"I do not know why all producers always want to have a lucky charm in their films though she has nothing to do with the story at all. In this story even, hero has done almost all the things alone, but still producers need something to sell their films, they can not keep faith on Arjun alone.".. Arjun thinks and smiles.
Arjun is tried, he is tired with all those flash lights of photographers, Arjun is tired and exhausted by giving those artificial smiles all times. He has to act on screen and he has to act too in his daily life. If not, then tomorrow's newspaper's page three gossip section will discuss it with all the possibilities of any known and unknown reason. By reading those, sometimes Arjun becomes angry, sometimes he can not decide what exact emotion would be perfectly go with those articles. So, whenever specially in Fridays, his film releases, he prefers to switch off all his electronic communication. Because he knows, after it all producers and production start fighting to get his dates, all those emotional lines and if not, then threatening etc etc.
Arjun is lying on his bed in a dark room, he has to spend has to spend his maximum hours in a heavy weight lights, so he prefers this darker side of his bedroom. Ashna comes, today she is wearing some heavy dress, seems like she is going some where.
Ashna: what happen beta? why you are not ready yet?
Arjun: no mom, I am not going out any where today..you seems to be going out, you go otherwise you will be late
Ashna: yea, your producer, Nayar jee has insisted me to attend the success party, kya kare, your father is not here and you will not go too, so I have to go there, you know that networking part nah, we have to make a good public relation with them na?
Arjun: you don't need to clarify anything to me, mama, you go and please switch off the light please.
Ashna: please take care of your self, I will come early today.
He stands up and take a pain killer - it helps him when he is having pain on his head. He needs a perfect sleep, otherwise these dreams will keep haunting him like anything. Whenever he feels alone, he feels Ashna's presence around him. But, today, she also left her son, pathetic!!!!now sweet dreams also come rare to him!! because nights are sleepless for him. Everyone is so busy with their own world of fantasy but why can't Arjun become happy with this success - has he ever wanted this from his life?
