Unexpectedly In Love 💕

🎬| Dawn of desire•

It was morning, and the sun shone in the sky. He stood on his balcony, admiring the panoramic view of mountains while sipping his black coffee, surrounded by the birds who chorused their melodious birdsong, welcoming the blush of scarlet and the warmth of tangerine, along with the golden hues of the delightful morning.

He was ready! For the Day! for his first day on set and meet the rest of the cast. But he halted—suddenly, he felt his heartbeats. He was hit again by an uncertain feeling, which he labeled nervousness. He grabbed his bike keys and left for the New Beginning...

Unknown by the fact that his life is about to turn upside down—someone is going to step in and knock off all the walls of his dark past that he built around his heart.

Around 8:00 am, he reached the set; it was still early from the call time. The whole cast still has to reach, but he was directly taken to his room for further discussion with the team about his ckt, script & once again, he wanted to make clear his condition on which he won't compromise.

He even needed to get ready for the mock shoot. and....

~*~*~*~*~*~

On the other side of the world, a girl was still in her jammies, running here and there because she was LATE!!! Yes she was.

Whining to her mother for not waking her up early, she was worried about getting late on the first day itself. Hurriedly, she got ready in her pink long dress, one side braided open hair, a light pink shade of lipstick, and mascara...She was readyyyy! For her first day!

She was excited but nervous too—her Mom, Papa & Rucci Di wished her luck. And She left, stepping towards her dreams, feeling uneasy with her heart bouncing in joy. But anxiety wasn't what scared her; she knows how it works and what will happen. But she hated how it made her feel—hmmm, she actually hated not knowing this or naming this.

With shaky steps, she was ready to embark on this new journey. Unknown by the fact—the love she always wished for, the man who will love her with all his heart—is soon going to walk into her life. But the dark memories of the past always reminded her "that life is not a fairy tale." Trust is one of the most fragile and rare commodity in any kind of relationship—difficult to find.

Pranali relied on the light of the day, the sun, to guide her all through her life. The light that gave her hope also gave her strength—to keep going. She never would have believed that it would be in the very darkness and overwhelming silence of her soul's echoing revelation that she would stand in REAL & not in her dreams. In front of everything she was yearning for and searching for with her heart—an opportunity to prove herself, an opportunity to exhibit her talent.

Even though the uncertainty clouded her, she managed to arrive on time. 10:00 am, she looked around before stepping in, calming herself down. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the house where they were supposed to shoot—GOENKA VILLA.

She can recognize this set; she remembers—it was Kaira home—a sense of nostalgia hit her, wiping her happy tears as she nervously entered. The Goenka Villa hall was crowded by all the cast; a few were strangers, a few she knew. She walked towards them, fidgeting with the strap of her back, suddenly feeling "not-belonging-to-this-world" unknown what to do next...

But soon she was noticed by Garima Ma'am who rushed towards her to welcome her, embracing her and making her comfortable. She introduced Pranali to the rest of the cast as FEMALE LEAD—the whole cast looked amused to know she would be the one who would be leading their show, the Yeh Rishta Legacy. At first, she was nervous, but because of her personality—Bubbly, Friendly, Always In Positive Mood, who Brings Smile On Others Face by her Actions—she became friendly & made new friends...

But still, everyone felt a sense of incompleteness. Something was missing. Oh yes, the MALE LEAD!

Everyone wondered who the Male Lead...Why wasn't he here. Sachin Sir & Swathi(MiMI) tried to make Garima spill the beans, but all she said

GARIMA: It's SURPRISE....you'll love it!

Finally, when she was a little bit relaxed, she loosened up a bit from all the stress. She suddenly jolted at the mere mention of Male Lead—she prayed to the heavens deity...

"Joh bhi ho, uske saath aacha equation ho. Please!" The last two shows were good, but this show is a legacy show. Millions of people's emotions are attached; she can't afford to hurt them—as an actor, she has to give her best! She was nervous and curious, looking forward to knowing who the mysterious male lead was—hers.

Since it was morning brunch time, The crew offered snacks to everyone—but she didn't feel like eating. Garima asked her to eat at least and not be shy because it was a long-run show. And soon they will be a big family...

By various snacks, she grabbed a samosa because dessert at this moment—Nah! not a nice option. She didn't feel; she had a sour test and wanted to eat something spicy to wash off, to remove, that feeling or taste!

Her bubbly and caring nature wasn't going unnoticed—that made her stand out. The whole set had already started to love her; she asked everyone to have something too before starting the day. That left a few of the staff & crew speechless and shocked because it wasn't like no one had asked them before. But as the Lead of the show, they expected she would have some attitude or be nagging, but they were wrong; she was completely opposite.

They were all amazed by her caring nature; even Sachin Sir and Swathi(MiMi) were impressed. As a new generation, she had love instilled in herself.

Unknown by THE DESTINY.

Nah, Nah, what Dkp planned!

Actually, it still wasn't morning—her day still hasn't started.😉
