SS: Black Star
I stood watching the sun setting, drowning itself in the horizon. I was waiting to see the first star in the sky. I wanted the shining star to come back in my life, again. I felt a cold chill, I shivered. How could I forget the day when I met the star…the super star? No, I can never, ever forget it, even if I want to. It will take me long time for that. But what about Rohan? What about him? Maybe we would find a better girl for her. I had a thing for Rohan for ages but I had never dared to confess. But it was an infatuation. Rohan is my best friend and he will always be. I can never forget his thousands of helps; when Avi ditched me or when my father was not here when I needed him the most. Now I consider Rohan as my brother not has my darling obsession. But Black Star will always be in my heart, for what is the use of other movies than this one. Rohan was a great guy and I am sure we'll find someone better than me, I thought. These thoughts haunted me, was I playing with my own emotions? I didn't know, first Avi, then seeing how caring Rohan was, I thought he was it but seeing Black Star, my thought changed again. But I would never see black star again, no matter what I do? A super star doesn't stick with one person, definitely not me.
How can I forget when I met my Black Star? I called him like that because at that time when I met him, he was in a black suit.
The colours mixed together in the sky; red, orange and yellow. The amber sky looked beautiful. I loved to watch the sun setting and I still do but this time with a deep thought of love and happiness. It was the premiere of "Jackal" a movie of Quentin Cruz, one of the best producer and director of the world. I was given a ticket by Rohan, again…
Rohan had given me two tickets of the premiere of "Jackal" and the hero of the movie was Jai. Jai, a common Indian actor and my hero and my vilain…
I was wearing my black velvet dress with my black high heels. I wanted a pop corn and a juice. I was getting both hungry and thirsty. So I went to the counter and bought myself pop-corns and an apple juice from the vending-machine. Suddenly I bumped into someone. Thankfully neither my juice spilt nor my pop corn popped out of my hand but the person I bumped into was
Jai. Jai the super star of the movie. He was a star and me; a common twenty year old girl had bumped into a Star. I looked surprised with my mouth opened like a gold-fish but what could you expect from a town-girl. I shut my mouth cursing myself and looked at him sheepishly in the eye. I gave him my most innocent look. As Rohan said even if I give the most dangerous thug my "innocent look", he'll forgive me. But here I was standing like a dumb girl in front of the star of the movie. I bit my lips nervously, so hard that I myself was afraid, I'd cut them with my sharp teeth. He was damn cute in a black suit.
"Didn't see you there" I said quietly and he extended his hand saying "Hello, I am Jai". I shook his hand stammering "I…I…am..B-Bani. Bani"
What could you expect me to say? Shaking hands with a super star. He played villains in my movies but I never saw him in front of me with his most charming smile. Why the producers signed him as villains when he could play the main lead of a movie. The producers were really stupid, the stupidest person of the world. Thank god that Mr. Cruz saw this and signed him as the main actor of his film.
"Enjoy the show" he told me. I waved to him "thank you" and my friend Sheen came looking at me up and down. "Wow" she said "you are a genius". I giggled. I wasn't but my Black Star was. I named him black star because of his black suit.
I shivered. I figured it was late. I needed to go. Thank you Rohan. After all I would have never gone to the show if Rohan hadn't force me to and I wouldn't have meet my black star….
Black star, black star
Forever you will be
A shining star, shining star
Be whatever you can be
A rock star, rock star
You will always be
A black star, black star,
Black star Black star, black star, black star
The End [first and last chapter]
Author's note: I just got this idea zooming in my head when I was listening to Avril Lavigne's song promo "Black Star" so I decided to name it "Black Star". I wrote this in my diary at night and thought of writing this down here. Thank You for reading.
