Love Beyond The Screen: Jahaan's Odyssey

Hair Oil

[After 3 days.... At morning]

Jahaan: Uhhh... (Covers his eyes) Sun brother please go and come back another day. Jahaan wants to sleep more.

Person: Its too la.....

[Hearing the voice of someone, within a second Jahaan grabs and pulls the person over him.]

Jahaan: Jannat, (touching the person) why are you so hard?? Jan.. (Grabs tightly) Jan??? Talk to me.

Person: How can I talk to you like her?

[After realising that it is a male sound, he opens his eyes quickly and shrugs the person away.]

Jahaan: Matthew!!! You?? (Jumps with shy)

Matthew: Sir, yesterday you told me to come up with these files. But...

Jahaan: No ifs and buts (little frustrated). Keep the files on that table, I'll check these after.

Matthew: (nodding head) Sure Sir.

[Matthew left and Jahaan noticed that he was silently giggling.]

Jahaan: What was I doing? Am I insane or what? At last, Matthewww.... Ohh... Shame on you, Jahaan.

[Suddenly Jahaan reminisces about a line, "A silly girl for an insane man", and unconsciously he started smiling.]

[After freshening he came out of the washroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He kept her hand on his left cheek and suddenly remembered that slap by Miss Jannat.]

Jahaan: (murmuring) Miss... Miss Jannat... How's she? What is she doing for these 3 days? (in his mind) Maybe angry at me again.

[Jahaan looked at the beer bottles of yesterday. All were full. It means Jahaan didn't drink no alcohol during these 3 days. He picked up the phone from the bed and called Jannat.]

-"The number you're trying to call is currently switched off. Please try again later"-

[At college campus...]

Riya: Guys, Let's go to the library. I need to check out some books.

Jannat: Yes.. Umm.. Naynika, you can also join us.

Naynika: Umm.. You carry on. I'll join you later.

Jannat: Ok then bye. (Looks at Riya) Just one sec... I've to silent my phone. (Looking at the phone) Ohh.. It's already on airplane mode. Let's go.

[At 2:50pm..]

[While Jannat went to the canteen, she disabled the airplane mode and noticed the missed call of Jahaan.]

[Jannat called back to him.]

[In voice call....]

Jahaan: Where are you Jannat? Your phone was switched off.

Jannat: Look who is asking!! (In a teasing tone)

Jahaan: Why? Can't I ask?

Jannat: Looked like someone is missing me (in a teasing tone).

Jahaan: Umm... No.... Not like that..

Jannat: Then, waiting for what? Just cut the call, Mr.

[Jahaan gave no response to her.]

Jannat: Hello!! Hello!!!

Jahaan: Hmmm??

Jannat: Speak something Sir. Or I'll cut the call.

Jahaan: I have a headache.

Jannat: What can I do?

Jahaan: I don't know. You've to get out of me from this terrible headache.
