Part 1
Without giving any reply, Ragini went inside the hospital while Arjun left to the airport in his car, where his best friend is waiting for him. As soon as Arjun saw Sanskar he jumped out of his car and ran towards his friend flinging himself onto Sanskar as if his life depended on it.
"Sanskar, I am so happy that you are here. You don't know how much I missed you brother. Now that you have come, we will rule Mumbai...what say?", said Arjun taking the trolley from Sanskar and directing him to the car. Hearing no reply, Arjun nudged Sanskar and asked: "Is everything alright Sanskar?"
"No yar, I came out of the house permanently. I couldn't take dad's torture, he rants daily and forces me to join his business. You know right I want to become an actor and I am so close to achieving my dreams but he doesn't want to understand this. He just wants a hier who could take care of his empire", replied Sanskar looking out of the window as Arjun raced the car to his villa.
"Don't worry Sanskar, once you become a star, we will convince uncle and I am sure he would be proud of you one day my boy. Now cheer up...and get my old Sanskar back", Arjun tried to cheer him up for which Sanskar just smiled and lost in his own thoughts.
After reaching the villa, Arjun showed Sanskar his room and left him to refresh while he went to get something for themselves to eat.
On the other hand, in the hospital, Ragini is speaking with her friend.
"Cancel the party Nisha. Arjun wants me at home as his friend is coming", said Ragini giving an exasperated look.
"Wow Ragu, from when you started obeying your brother's orders?", asked her friend being shocked as Ragini always does the opposite of what Arjun demands.
"Shut up Nisha, it's Sanskar who is coming and he is someone who could free me from my brother's dominance and let me live like a free bird", she replied spreading her arms imagining herself to be flying. Just then their head doctor called them and they dispersed.
In the evening, as Sanskar and Arjun were lazing in the lawn with a bowl of popcorn and pulpy orange, Ragini came home and looking at her, Arjun happily called her "Ragu, come join us".
Faking a smile, Ragini walked up to them and was mesmerized to look at the handsome man who was lying there on the green grass. She was about to go into her dreams but was dragged into reality by Arjun's voice.
"Sanskar, Ragini is here. I hope you remember her".
"Ofcourse...ofcourse, hi Ragini...you know me right, I am Sanskar, your duffer brother's brilliant friend. I must say you are very beautiful than the last time we met", Sanskar said winking at her.
Ragini just smiled and nodded her head and sat there beside Arjun.
"Stop it Sanskar. Don't flirt with my sister", warned Arjun suddenly becoming a possessive brother.
"She is your sister, not mine...okay get that clear in your mind", reminded Sanskar being cheeky.
"Anyways, I know you both well...so, I don't need to worry. Ragini, tomorrow can you please take Sanskar to the film studio? He is having auditions and I have an important meeting with the client which can't be skipped", asked Arjun expecting a negative reply but surprising him Ragini readily agreed though Sanskar protested as he didn't want to trouble her but Arjun was adamant.
Next morning, after breakfast as Arjun left,
"Ragu, shall we start?", asked Sanskar looking into the mirror and setting his hair for one last time as he didn't want to give the director any chance to reject him. This is not his first audition, despite countless rejections, he didn't lose hope and has immense trust in his talent and hard work.
"Hello Mr, I am not your driver to take you wherever you want. Go use public transport", replied Ragini sitting on the couch and shaping her nails.
"Oh really, let's see who will have to take the bus", he said taking the car keys from the cupboard and showing it to her. In a moment Ragini jumped down and ran behind him. Sanskar was faster than her, he reached the car first and sat in the driving seat showing his tongue to her.
"Huh...just wait here, I will get my bag and coat", said Ragini going back to the house stomping her foot for which Sanskar just smiled looking at her retreating figure.
As she returned, Sanskar drove the car onto the highway as instructed by Ragini. On their way to the studio,
"Ragu, you know that Arjun cares for you. Stop being harsh to him", said Sanskar as he always felt bad looking at Arjun's worry about his sister.
"Not again Sanskar please...why doesn't anyone understand me, I am 22 years old and not some LKG student who would need 24 hours supervision. I have my life and I have every right to live it in my way. From how many years do we know each other Sanskar?", asked Ragini looking at him.
"Around two years when I first visited Arjun", replied Sanskar.
"I have been with him since my birth but he doesn't even know about me as much as you do. Anyways, I don't want to spoil my mood talking about him. Take right from here, yes here is your studio. All the best, I know you will rock", said Ragini getting out of the car and hugged Sanskar.
"By the way, we are going out in the evening and you are coming with us. Talk to Arjun about it, Bye", saying which she rode off while Sanskar went into the studio.
"Good morning, I am Sanskar Maheshwari. I have seen your advertisement calling for actors on Instagram. I am here for auditions", informed Sanskar to the receptionist.
"Okay sir, please wait here. I will inform the director", said the receptionist before dialing into the intercom.
After speaking with the director she said: "Director sir is a bit busy. You can wait or come again tomorrow".
"No problem, I will wait", saying which he sat in a chair beside a little girl. Looking at her, Sanskar smiled but the girl turned her face away.
"Hi Cutie, may I have the pleasure to know your sweet name?", asked Sanskar but the girl didn't respond.
"Neha, don't be so rude", scolded the receptionist and turning towards Sanskar "sorry, please don't mind, she is upset with me as I promised her an outing today but because of some urgent work, I couldn't take her anywhere".
Sanskar nodded gesturing that he understood.
"Neha, I don't know anyone here. Will you come with me to have ice cream?", asked Sanskar for which the girl nodded in no. "Okay, I will ask you one question, answer carefully...Once an ant and elephant were going on a new scooter. They met with an accident. The elephant died but the ant survived, why?", asked Sanskar.
"Because the ant was wearing a helmet", replied Neha hitting her head with her hand.
"I think that's an old joke", smiled Sanskar scratching his head.
"A very lame one too", replied the nine-year-old little girl.
"Okay, let me think one more... ha What do you call a sleeping bull?", asked Sanskar after brainstorming (actually googling).
After trying hard, Neha gave up so, Sanskar revealed the answer after a lot of drama as "Bulldozer".
Like this Neha forgot that she was upset and started playing with Sanskar unaware of two pairs of eyes adoring them, one was of receptionist while the other was...
