During shoot, we rehearsed the lines we were doing for the most important shot: where Ashok breaks his marriage with Ahankara and ties with Kaurvaki.
"How can you do this Ashok?"
"My relationship was no more than friendship, I realized I had been going on the wrong path; not speaking my thoughts out. This led to this hurdle of problems which I now cannot avoid. I should have never supported this marriage from the start. This mental wound would hurt no more with salt; it already is burning inside. Therefore, I break my relationship with you Ahankara and seek to follow my heart's happiness."
"Okay that's good," I said, clapping my hands.
"Action!" The director snapped.
"How can you do this?"
Sidd stayed silent for minute, looking towards the ground.
"My friendship was wrong. The decision was wrong to even start the path of friendship, realizing it would cause trouble. I should have always stood my ground and listened to my heart. Now even the harshest wounds don't pain if salt is applied; you've been rubbed so much by this symbol of my bitter friendship. I don't want to continue this if it means hurting you."
I realized he was talking about his betrayal by Tunisha. These weren't the lines we rehearsed.
"Sidd, these weren't the lines." The director said. "But they're even better!"
Every one clapped and I heard gossips about Sidd becoming a writer.
He went out towards the horse stable suddenly and I quickly ran behind him. I saw him patting a horse and feeding him grass with his disappointed eyes.
"Sidd..."
"Reem?"
"I know you're hurt but please try to...."
"Try what? I can't! I can't stand a word against you! You've caught me in your net."
"She's going to be even meaner to me!"
"I won't let her."
"Your giving her the right to...."
He remained silent.
"Leave me alone."
"But..."
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE." He said in an impatient but low voice.
I sighed and left him.
