After the lovely dinner all of them were having Dessert......when Randhir's mom got a call and she talked for a while.....after that when she came back she was a little stressed........

Randhir: Mom....Is everything alright? You are looking tensed.....

Randhir's mom: Its nothing Ron.....actually tomorrow morning I have an event at the NGO.....after that I thought that I will be free and will spend the day with you......but just now your aunt called and she was asking me to come tomorrow as already she is not well and some people are coming to see Riddhima (Randhir's cousin) for marriage tomorrow, so she wants me to help her. I couldn't deny her beta....I know you are here only for the weekend and I couldn't give time to you.....

Randhir: Mom......I totally understand ..... and its just a matter of few days .....after that I will be back to Mumbai......Only 2 weeks of shoot is left in Delhi....after that I will be back.....and anyways you don't worry about me.....I know its important for you to be there for Riddhima.....she is very attached to you.....(looking towards Sanyukta).....and since you are not free tomorrow.....I will take Chashmish out on a mini Mumbai tour....What say Chashmish?

Randhir's mom (smiling): Yeah that will be perfect...Sanyukta will also enjoy......and when is your flight for Delhi Ron?

Randhir: Mom.....its tomorrow at 11:30 PM.....actually I have to join back shoot from Monday.....so will have to return tomorrow night......

Randhir's Mom: Ok .....I will try to reach the airport to see you off .....

Randhir: Yeah mom.....and Chashmish.....be ready by 8 AM sharp tomorrow......we have to leave early.....

Sanyukta: 8 AM? .....Why so early morning.....?

Randhir(teasingly): Come on Chashmish.....I know you have the habit of sleeping till 10 AM....but we are in Mumbai......people come here not to sleep but to fulfill their dreams with open eyes......

Sanyukta(widening her eyes and jaws dropped): I sleep till 10 AM....?.....Its you who sleeps till late.....I am a morning person....and we will see tomorrow morning who keeps sleeping in their world of dreams huh....!!!!

Randhir(mimicking her): Yeah we will definitely see.....

Randhir's mom laughed on their cute banters and after chatting a little more they went to sleep.

Sunday, 6 AM

Sanyukta woke up and she heard some music coming from outside....

Sanyukta(in mind): Who is listening to rock music in the morning......?

She went outside her room following the music and realized that it was coming from Randhir's room.....she knocked his door twice but he didn't open....so she hesitantly entered inside and saw that Randhir was doing push ups shirtless keeping books on his back.....

Sanyukta(clearing her throat): Ahem ahem...... It seems the sun rose from the west today.....

Randhir(working out and smirking): Why are you so surprised Chashmish? You were not expecting me to wake up early right......but you don't know my routine sweetheart......I have a habit of working out in the morning.....

Sanyukta: Really ?.....where was this habit of yours yesterday Mr. Shekhawat....? When I had to put so much of efforts in waking you up......

Randhir: Well Chashmish.....you can't blame me for that......(teasing and smirking)as I had slept with my sweetheart after almost about 2 weeks.....I couldn't get enough of her you know?

Sanyukta(raising her eyebrow): Sweetheart...? Who?

Randhir(laughing seeing her cute face): My bed Chashmish.....

Sanyukta(frowning): Huh.....and is this the way you use books?......for push ups.....? I have never seen anybody using books as objects of workout.....I can't believe this

Randhir(smirking): Come on Chashmish.....you think I am one of those who will "read " books at 6 AM in the morning.......? Since I do not read such heavy books.....so I use them in my workout.....

After finishing he stood up and checked out Sanyukta ......she was looking cute in her mickey mouse T-shirt and lower and her morning messed up hair were making her look so adorable.....

Randhir(smirking): By the way I love your morning look Chashmish.....You look adorable

Sanyukta(nervously): I think we are getting late.....I will just get ready....

Saying this she ran to her room and Randhir just chuckled at her innocence .....After sometime all of them got ready and Randhir's mom prepared breakfast for them and after having breakfast they were all set to leave.....

Randhir: Mom I will drop you first at the NGO and then from there we will leave for our outing .....and by 7 PM we will be back and we will leave for the airport by 8 PM

Randhir's mom: Ok then I will meet you guys at the airport by 8:30 PM .....and take care both of you

Randhir: Yeah mom....

After that Randhir dropped his mom at her NGO .....they both bid her bye and then he drove towards his next destination.....

Sanyukta: Randhir.....where are we going?

Randhir: It's a surprise Chashmish and I am sure you will like it......

After driving for half an hour.....he parked the car in a posh society and they moved towards the elevator and he pressed 5th floor.....

Sanyukta: Randhir.....what are we doing in this society....? Does any of your friends or family lives here?

Randhir: Well Chashmish.....He is my friend and once you meet him you will get to know why I brought you here to meet him.....

Coming out of the elevator.....they stood in front of a flat and the name plate read "DD'S Paradise". They rang the doorbell and the house help opened the door. He invited them inside and went to call DD. Till that time Sanyukta noticed the house. It was clean and well maintained and then she saw one wall filled with trophies and some of them were bestseller books in ribbon when she heard a voice...

Person: Hey Randhir.....Whats up bro....

They both turned towards him and Sanyukta was shocked to see the person in front of her.....it was her idol....the person whom she admired a lot......Durjoy Dutta.....the famous writer. She couldn't believe that she is standing in front of him.....Randhir got up and bro hugged him and then he moved towards Sanyukta.....

Durjoy(forwarding his hand for handshake): You must be Sanyukta.......Hi....I am

Sanyukta(shaking hands with him): Who doesn't know you ......? I am a huge fan of your books......

Randhir: Chashmish.....in addition to being the writer of many books......he is also the writer of my show........

Durjoy(genuinely): Well I am honored.....please have a seat guys....what would you like to have ? Randhir you will have bee.....

Randhir(interrupting him): Ummm yaa I will have beetroot juice

Durjoy(confusingly): what?

Randhir: Yeah......beetroot juice....(signalling toward sanyukta).....you know its good for health....

Durjoy(understandingly): but we don't have beetroot now Randhir.....so how about some orange juice.....?

Randhir: yeah that is fine.....

All this while Sanyukta was sitting silent.....

Durjoy: So Sanyukta.....you only read books or you write as well?

Sanyukta(nervously): well I sometimes write but I don't get much time......I am a professor and I am pursuing PhD as well....so most of my time goes in that....(looking down).....its more of a hobby....

Durjoy: Well....if you don't mind me asking..... (showing her the script written by her)"The Sky Of My Dreams"....Is this an outcome of your mere hobby?

Sanyukta(shocked): How did you get this......?

She was shocked to see the script written by her in Durjoy's hand.....she had thousands of thoughts in her mind......what he must be thinking of her script? He was a renowned author.....What if he thought that her script was pathetic?.....but above all the thing which was eating her up was.....How did he get the script? Then she turned towards Randhir..... and one look in his eyes and she knew that it was done by him. She was filled with anger.

Sanyukta(coldly): Please give my script back. I don't wish to share it....(looking towards Randhir) ...with anyone

Durjoy: You are right. It's not worth sharing with me....but....

Sanyukta was on verge of tears....so she looked away.....

In between Durjoy's phone rang.....

Durjoy: Guys .....Its important.....I have to take this call.....excuse me..

He went to attend his call in the other room.....and Sanyukta stood up and she was about to leave.....when Randhir caught her wrist.....

Randhir: Chashmish wait.....

Sanyukta(sternly): Randhir leave my hand.....I don't want to stay here for even a second

Randhir: Chashmish....but why? At least listen to what Durjoy has to say about your script

Sanyukta(angrily freeing her hand from his clutch): Why should I wait.....? I can't believe this Randhir....how could you do this to me? How dare you touch my script and after that you showed it to him....why? You wanted to make fun of me? I thought you are my friend but....

Randhir( angrily): But what Chashmish......? You think I wanted to make fun of you by bringing your script to him? That's how low you think of me? I agree I shouldn't have taken it without your permission but if I would have asked you .....Would you have allowed me to bring it to him? Tell me....?

Sanyukta just looked down.....as she had no answer to his question

Randhir: What will you tell? I will tell you.....you would have never allowed me to do it......you know why?......because you are a bloody coward....you are scared of people judging you and your work. You are scared that Durjoy will criticize your script. You are bloody scared of "Rejection and Failing".....

Sanyukta was about to leave when she stopped hearing his next words.....

Randhir: Yeah run away.....running away is the best solution....isn't it? I can't believe it Sanyukta......you are a professor....what do you teach your students? That once you fail....everything is finished. That few people.....few marks....few comments....few reviews decide your future. People like you deserve to remain in their shell. Your script deserves to be in your cupboard.....with no future at all.....just like you.....it should remain a bloody hobby. Because it is not your passion.....if you had passion for writing you wouldn't be scared of failing. You know when yesterday I came to give this script to Durjoy....I specifically asked him to give his "Honest review" on your script because I thought you are one of those who believe in improving themselves......

Sanyukta(frustratingly): Yes I am afraid......I get affected by what people think about me.....I get affected by anyone talking bad about me.....I get affected by undue attention.....I am afraid of failing and rejection......because I am not god.... I am a human being. I am a simple girl. I am not an actor like you who is used to all this undue attention......and mind you Randhir.....not everyone is lucky enough to be able to pursue their dreams

Randhir(angrily): I was not always an actor Sanyukta. I have also grown up from my roots. I have done a lot of hard work to reach where I am today. I have faced a lot of struggles as well.It was not merely my luck that helped me to pursue my dreams, it was my hard work that brought me here. The first day I went to audition for a show.....you know what that casting director told me...... "Have you seen yourself in the mirror....from which angle do you look like the male protagonist of the show....and first go and learn the "A of Acting"....then show your face to me"......after that day I never looked back......but I took that rejection.....that bloody failure as a way to boost my confidence....whenever I felt like quitting.....I remembered the words of that casting director and stood up to work more hard. In all this my friends and family were my constant support......their support and the criticism of that casting director is what brought me here.I wanted to be that pillar of support for you Chashmish. If you fall then I am there to hold you but before that "You have to start walking on your own"..... "Have Confidence in yourself". If we got everything easily Chashmish.....then it doesn't feel that it was worth the hard work and time that we devote towards it. It is the stones on the road that makes the journey adventurous. Just remember one thing chashmish.... "Failing is just Another Opportunity to Try Harder".........and failures are those who give up on their dreams without even trying. Today if you don't face your fear....then mind you....there would be no bigger looser than you. 

Saying this Randhir left the house and Sanyukta kept standing there pondering upon his words......

MY POV

"Failure, Rejection, Criticism, Downfall, Loss"....all these are a part and parcel of life. They don't block your path.....rather they are just small obstacles that we face in our journey. They are like those speed breakers on the road.....which indicate that we are going wrong somewhere and we need to stop and think where we are going wrong, but that doesn't mean we can't move forward, it simply means that we can do things in a better and improved manner. It is an Opportunity to try Harder.....When a child learns to walk or ride bicycle.....he/she falls many times.They may get hurt in the process but they never stop trying from the fear of getting hurt. They keep trying until they succeed. Life runs on this simple rule, whenever you fall.....you have to stand stronger than the previous times. Giving Up is very easy but the loss of giving up hurts us in the longer run. Working hard initially seems difficult.....facing rejections, failures, downfall, criticism.....hurts us initially but proves to be fruitful in the longer run. So guys whatever may come in our journey.....we have to face it and move forward.....because.... "Failure is just another opportunity to try Harder"........ What does Durjoy think of Sanyukta's Script? Will Randhir's efforts go in vain? Will Sanyukta understand Randhir's point of view? Will Sanyukta give a chance to her passion? Will she gain the confidence to face the reality? To know the answers to all these questions you have to read the next part......Please vote and comment on my work.....Hope you guys are liking the update.....Guys I would really like if you comment on my updates.....I would like to know what do you think of my story.....even criticism is welcome.....Have a great day and stay safe!!!!!!
