*Nightmares*
In a dark setting in silence there, A girl could be seen running, breathing heavily and panting. Her steps urgent and throbbing. She was running without a break, with a constant fear and nervousness etched on her face and urgency in her steps. She was occasionally looking backwards to check as if someone was following her. Though her body was partially covered in blood along with some injuries and scratches on her limbs, the pace of her footsteps kept on increasing gradually until her footsteps stoped to find him infront of herself.....
Arjun: Isha? *he choked*
Isha: Arjun... *she winced*
His voice trembling with fear to see her in such a miserable and vulnerable condition. She collapsed on the floor as darkness consumed her. Arjun swiftly bend near her, with trembling hands he cupped her face and shaked her shoulders trying to arouse her.
"Isha!! Open your eyes! Please, look at me. I'll not let anything happen to you, but please open your eyes for once." Arjun exclaimed.
After a while of trying to make it up to her he finally got relieved to see her opening her eyes. Isha slowly opened her eyes blinking a few times. She clutched her head.
"Isha! What happened? Are you okay? Speak to me dear.." Arjun's voice trembling with fear as he saw Isha clutching her head.
"Arjun.." Isha whispered.
Her face had a slightly sly smile with a smirk emerging on her face, While Arjun looked at her with wide eyes and confusion.
"Isha?" Arjun whispered his voice lowered with fear and confusion.
With a sudden change in events, Isha pulled out a dagger from her pocket and stabbed Arjun to death.
Arjun: Isha!!! *he screamed*
Panting and sweating he looked around to have been woken up from a dream, a nightmare that shook him up to the core. He looked around convincing himself to calm down. His throat got dry with fear, he jumped out of his bed to have a glass of water on the table nearby. He took a sip with his trembling hands taking a moment to realise that it was just a dream. Stress lines emerged on his forehead. He placed his hand on his heart to feel himself.
"Calm down Arjun, it was just a nightmare. Everything is normal, Everything is fine." He whispered to himself.
He took a deep breath and opened the curtains of the room allowing the sunlight to penetrate into the room. After a few minutes of consoling himself, he made his way out of his room towards the kitchen to see his wife Isha, as she is usually in the kitchen by this time. But to his surprise she wasn't there in the kitchen instead there was a small note kept on the table. Arjun realised it maybe Isha's message so he stepped forward to take the note in his hand which says...
"Good morning Arjun. Sorry I had to leave early today due to some heavy pending work but I'll try to get back soon. Breakfast and Lunch is packed and kept of the kitchen shelf. Have a great day"
He sighs but his eyes reflected some irritation. Without further delays he kept the note back on the table and started gathering his stuff to prepare to go to work...
(Scene change)
Isha: Leave me! Please don't hurt me. Let me go, I'll do any sacrifice for it just, Please let me go!!
Isha exclaimed, her voice tensed as she tried speaking in her broken words. All of the sudden the platform beneath her feet got wide open and she fell into it with a loud scream as the darkness consumed her.
Sid: And Cut, Good shot Isha! You did a great job!
Director Siddharth Malhotra who is also know by his stage name Sid exclaimed with joy praising her. Being a very influential and famous director, who is always in a tussle to entertain the viewers with his intriguing projects, he recently signed an agreement of a few projects with Isha including the Horror movie project she was presently working on as a main lead along with her sister Ruhi who was in a supporting role along her.
Isha: Thank you sir, I'm just learning something new each day, all because of your guidance and trust in me. *she smiled softly*
Sid: It's just the beginning Isha, you have to do many more challenging scenes in this very film itself. I know it's a challenging project and also a unique idea and for some reasons it's also not gonna be easy, but I trust you, you will do it. *he patted her shoulder giving a soft smile back*
Isha: Sure sir. I'll try my best to do it with the utmost perfection I can.
Sid: *he smiled and said* Okay then packup! That's it for today. And yes Isha, I expect you to pack your stuff along with Ruhi for our upcoming scenes that are to be shot in America. Our team had a lot of discussions on the location for the upcoming part but luckily we got a place that resonates with the scene and the vibe is perfect. We must be there by the upcoming Sunday, so you have a full one week to prepare for the journey.
Isha: But sir, what is the duration for our stay there? *she had some hesitation in her voice*
Sid: It depends on the pace Isha, If everything goes well it should get over within 3-4 months as it's the final and crucial part of the movie. Is there any problem with it? *he said concerned*
Isha: No sir, everything well, We'll be there. *she said hiding her confusion and hesitation*
Sid: Okay then, see you! *he smiled*
He nodded in approval and left. After he left she sighed and walked towards her green room to change. She grabbed the door knob and twisted it to open the door. She opened and went inside the green room and closed the door behind her. When she turned to her surprise it was all dark in the room. She felt a bit nervous upon finding the dark view infront of her. She took a deep breath calming her nerves before heading forward to switch on the lights. Before she could on the light, she felt someone's grip on her wrist resisting her to switch on the lights. She gasped trying to release her wrist but in vain. Before she could do someth else she felt another grip on her waist from behind accompanied with a loud dog bark. She startled and screamed loudly. Suddenly the lights went on to reveal to girly figures looking her concerned.
Ruhi: Di.. Di... calm down it's me, Ruhi. *She placed her hand on her shoulder to calm her down*
She caught hold of her breath and sighed before looking at her seriously.
Isha: Ruhi? Have you lost your mind or something. What is this behaviour?!
Ruhi: Di, relax, calm down, everything is ok. It was just a small prank.
Isha: A small Prank? Are you serious?! *She scolded her slightly*
Ritika: Relax Isha, actually it was a silly bet that you would get scared or not. But Ruhi won. You actually got really scared than we even expected.
Isha: Anybody could have got scared like that. I'm not an exception!
Ritika: Okay, Okay relax, we are really sorry. I thought you would overcome your fear by now, after doing a plenty of horror scenes.
Isha: That's never been my fear Ritu. I have just one fear. *she sighed and paused a bit before speaking* of loosing Arjun. I can't loose him Ritu, I love him alot, I don't care whether he loves me the same or not, but he is my life. It's has been 10 years since our wedding. We had many plans together but, *sighs* he had and still has so many responsibilities. I'm witness to his struggles to rise his company. Although Mr. Mehra has been our constant supporter since day 1 but....
Ritika: Isha I'll request Mr. Malhotra to cast you as a typical wife in his next Tv show. Like what a scene it was, I'm impressed! *she clapped*
Isha pouted and gave a light hit her back...
Isha: You girl can never change! Everything what you do is out of my reach. I'm talking about Arjun here and you are dragging your typical scenes in between...
Ritika: *she smiled sheepishly* Oh! Sorry, but Isha, it's been long, don't you think it's getting too much now? I mean, Arjun has some responsibilities regarding you too, 10 years is not a short tenure. Till when will you be begging for bare minimum from your husband, Afterall you are an independent women and been constantly supporting him throughout.
Isha: It's not like I'm independent so I won't consider him but Ritu, it's something I've been trying to know, Something is wrong with him, I had tried many times to prise this out from him, but he never told me.
Ritika: I see, in that case Isha, only one way is left, that can bring you and Arjun close. *she sighed*
Isha: What is it? *she looked at her in anticipation*
Ritika: I think, *she paused* I think you should plan a baby soon.
Isha blushed upon listening her words.
Isha: Ritika...
Ritika: *she facepalmed* See how is she blushing! My dear Isha, it's been 10 years for god's sake, now it's the time that you should take your bond to the next step! Till when would you resist this?
Isha: *Isha sighed* Will he agree?
Ritika: Why not? He will! He has too!
Isha: Okay, I'll try to talk to him.
(Scene Changed)
Arjun entered the office like a gust, holding a suitcase in his hands he opened the door of his cabin and saw his assistants arranging everything. He confidently sat on his chair and started checking some files, just when he heard a knock at the door of his cabin. It was Krish, he gave a gentle smile and entered his cabin taking a seat infront of him.
Krish: Heyy buddy! How's everything going? Everything alright? You seemed stressed. *Concerned etched on his face*
Arjun: *He sighed* What to hide from you now, nothing well Krish. It was the 5th time in these two week that I got the same nightmare. From last two weeks, I don't sense something well. It-It feels like she is back krish! *he chocked*
Krish: What are you talking Arjun? It is not possible, it's been a long time now! It's just that you are getting overpossessive regarding Isha, nothing else.
Arjun: But Krish...
Suddenly his phone vibrated on the table infront of him, he picked up the phone to see the dialer. He sighed.
Arjun: I'll come in a while, Excuse me.
Krish: Okay, Sure.
Arjun nodded, picked up the phone and went outside his cabin to recive the call leaving Krish in confusion in the cabin.
