THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY

52

Unnati enters her house, turns on the light and sits on the bed. She was tired. As soon as she sits, she received a call from Manav.

Unnati: Hello.

Manav: Where are you?

Unnati: At home.

Manav: Come here right now. I want you to show up in half an hour. I have something to ask you.

Before she could say anything. He cut the call.

Unnati: YOU REALLY THINK I AM A ROBOT? CALL ME WHENEVER YOU WANT?

She stood up from there and went to his house.

At Manav's House

Unnati enters his house.

Unnati: You look pretty good. I thought you had a heart attack and fell in coma.

He continued looking at his laptop. She came near him.

Manav: You were not here the whole afternoon.

Unnati: I still need my personal time. What's wrong?

Manav: What's wrong? Check the breaking news yourself. Now. ( He turned the laptop towards her to see it)

Unnati: You and Mr.Aditya(the one who criticizes Manav) are on the top search.

Manav(frustrated): He published another article.

Unnati: He is just giving you some professional and technical suggestions. This is good (happy). After you have a good relationship, he will support you publicly. And you can make progress on singing skills. This is called win-win.

Manav looked at her in disbelief.

Unnati(smiling): Don't try to thank me. You need not. Although I did go to find him, (keeping her hand on his shoulder) and he looked down on me. After reading this article, I feel it's worthwhile.

Manav(annoyed): I thank you. Thank you for what? Brain is a good thing. I wish you can have one. Why did you go to find him? Continue to read the article. Finish reading the last two paragraphs. Read it out loud.

Unnati: Manav Chhabra sent his assistant to find me again and again which really disturbed my life. She forced me to admit his efforts and progress and also change my point of view on him. It's (she turned to look at him who was looking down)... It's ridiculous. If you want me to have a comment on him. First, he doesn't knows how to sing. Second, he is not suitable to be a singer. He should change his job when he is already young.

Manav(looking straight): The assistant he mentioned is you, right? (He stood up from his chair) You...(he was really angry) If you went for him and dissed him, I would thank you. He is a professional critic by dissing stars to make himself famous. He has been writing such critic articles on me since my debut till now. I said nothing, which already made me feel like coward. You asked him to teach me sing? Are you kidding me? I will tell you, because of you, I am really a coward now.

Unnati(looking down): I think he is a professional music critic. And he is good at it. If he can teach you, there's only benefit.

Manav(shouting): THEN WHERE'S MY FACE AND DIGNITY? ONLY HE KNOWS MUSIC IN THE WORLD?

Unnati: I just wanted to tell him the truth and move him.

Manav(frustrated): No, I....(sitting down) How can it be so difficult to talk to you? You are my assistant. Everything you do and say represents me. I am begging you, without my permission, don't say anything ridiculous outside okay?

She nods her head. She was really sad, not on Manav shouting at her but because on her fate.( Let me clear it,I told in the start of this ff as well and telling it again. Manav is a short tempered person. He gets angry easily and this is known to everyone. So, everyone talks to him very politely. Whereas, unnati is a strong and cheerful girl. She says whatever she feels at the moment without any fear)

Manav: Please go, please!! Think yourself as a clever one, you..

Unnati(looking down, in a low voice): Sorry, I didn't imagine things would be like this.

Manav(annoyed): IT'S USELESS TO SAY SORRY NOW!! He has already published the article now. Nothing will change. JUST LEAVE, I AM BEGGING YOU.

She left from there. Manav put his head down on the table.
