Hi guys, here I am with a new story, this one is drama. I hope you will like it 😃
Prologue
-and the award goes to...A heavy silent fell brusquely, and the sound of many heartbeats can be almost heard, expecting to jump at any moment in joy when it will be their time to be called, all of the nominates were hanging to his lips, waiting for him to open this envelope containing the name of winner. He took his time to play with the audience but hearts reach his limits of restless. And the best actress is... Zoya Khan, for her amazing role in "until death do us part", a wonderful and tragic love story of this year. He clapped and all the crowds clapped and called her name.
She couldn't believe her ears, non-only her talent was finally being recognized by her peers but she was cheered. She stood up, and didn't know how she could still stand on her feet with all this emotions that her heart was going through, she was under the shock and only when her director hold her, that she realized she wasn't dreaming. The faces around her smiled and waved at her genuinely and with teary eyes, she held on them thigh, they were her support for this movie and were the persons who believed in her to play the role of her life. She was shaking from head to toe, it was so unexpected, first, when she knew she was nominate, she was over the moon and the rumors grows behind the scenes of a potential opportunity to win the prize, but she was far from imagining that it could happen for her, for her first big movie and especially, facing experimented and well establish actresses. She felt so small in front of them today. With every step she took, she just wished not to fall on the stairs, she found her thought so stupid, but her brain was getting so confused with all this atmosphere, that it threw weird and distracting image for her. It was still too much to handle for her heart, her brain took control of everything, leaving the heart enjoying this moment fully. She was finally in front of them, in the place that she only saw in her dreams but today, she was really here and it finally happens. She was living an awakening dream.
-congratulation, Zoya, he gave her statue and kissed her on her cheek, she didn't know what to say and replied a shy and emotional thank you.
The crowd was still clapping and she stood here, enjoying this moment, looking here and there, waving and mouthing thank you to all of them. She felt dizzy suddenly, with all this light on her and all the attention, she didn't imagine to feel such a deep and roller-coaster of emotions, she felt like jumping from a cliff without protection and strangely she felt so alive after so long. However, something was missing and she couldn't ignore the hole in her heart, her smile tensed, when she thought about him. She wanted him to be with her today, to share her victory with him. He was with her from the beginning and when the day has come, when the day that they spent talking and joking about has finally come, he wasn't there, how ironic life can be, she was desperately all alone. She might be sharing her glory with her peers, this place can be filled with people, with smiling faces but her love was missing, and suddenly, this statue in her hand felt heavy. It was supposed to be their days together. He was supposed to be standing there, next to her chair, he was supposed to be the one she held his hand during her wait,the one to embrace, the first to be kissed, but nothing happened like she wished; she looked at her empty chair and her heart twisted in pain.
The clapping fade away and it was her time to say something, her tongue tied with all the emotions that her heart care for so long. Her brain loss control over her heart leaving the pain rising in it. She was an accomplished actress today but as a woman, she lost a lot. She took a deep breath and displayed a bright smile, she was actress, they didn't need to see her pain and today, at this precise moment, she will be selfish and enjoyed, who knows if it will be her last moment of peace.
-well, I..I don't know what to say, she chuckled and her voice shook emotionally, really, I am feeling blessed and honored to have this, all the actresses that were nominate, deserved to win, they are all fabulous. YOU are all fabulous. I..I want to thank my director, Abi, you are amazing and thank you for giving me the chance to work with you, thanks to Jasmine, for writing this amazing story and even if it's tragic story, we can't ignore all the positive message and hope that the story gave to the viewers, thank a lot for such beautiful sensitivity. I would like to thank my co-star, who help me a lot, thank you, Karan, you are a wonderful actor and I am honored to work with you, and I can't wait to work again but hope this time our next love story will have a better end.
The crowd giggled at her joke and Karan send her a butterfly kiss, to which she did the same.
-I have so many person to thank, makeup artist, hairdresser, cameraman and all the team, who are behind the curtain and worked hard to let us, as an actor being able to do our jobs perfectly, love you all, this price is because of you. And I would like to thank someone special. Her throat tied suddenly and her eyes brimmed with tears.
His index danced along the edge of his cup, moving around, again and again, frantically, his index looked possessed by the cup and the small knock of his knuckle on the glass released the aroma of the whiskey. He watched the screen and his jaw clenched painfully with every passing words that he heard.
I would like to thank someone special, someone who always believed in me, always said that one day I will be here, she sighed looking up, standing here with his statue and saying rubbish speech because I won't be prepare enough, she scratched her forehead laughing softly, he was true, and indeed my speech was awful. All I can say it's thank you for everything, Asad, for being here for me when I was unknown and when I was just running casting after casting, you are my life, my love, my Asad. This, she pull up the statue, it's also for you, my love. And thank you for this and thank you all.
He threw this warm liquid in this mouth taking it in one shot, and he hissed painfully at the burning sensation on his throat, it was harsh and sudden burn freed tears from his eyes, but he didn't care, instead of he looked for it, he wanted to be in pain, in deep pain that can ease his agonized heart. He posed the cup loudly and kept his eyes fastened on her, angrily and hurtfully.
