Crazy Talk 7

That evening Abhi went to Shriya's room and saw her studying seriously. She was immersed so much that she didnot even see him enter the room. Then he sat across from her on the bed and said in a gentle voice "Shri".

She looked at him and smiled. He then asked her in a gentle voice "Do you have a minute ? I want to talk to you about something".

Shriya looked at him and nodded her head and waited for him to continue. He then said "A director named Pandey approached us saying that he wanted to sign a movie with you".

He observed her expressions and he found that she was a bit shocked and he handed her the script "This is the script and I already read it. It is good and you can have a look at it."

She took the script into her hands and saw it. She then looked at him and said "I don't want to enter into that profession".

He looked at her and said with an assuring look "I am not forcing you into it, I thought you had the talent in acting and I liked the script, so if you want to enter the industry, it will be a good opportunity".

She looked confused and he placed his hand on her hand and said "It is just my opinion, you have the right to decide yourself".

She then looked up to him and he smiled and said "I will go sleep now, you continue with your studies". He then smiled at her and left the room after wishing her 'good night'.

She placed the script beside on the table and looked at it. She didn't dare to open and read it. She was not interested in acting career and she wanted to pursue her studies and become a respectable and responsible teacher who could help the innocent children develop into good citizens.

But the way Abhi asked her just then, she felt he wanted her to do the movie. She is positive about it. But she have no interest in it. She doesn't want to offend Abhi at the same time she doesn't wanted to lie to herself.

She decided to leave it for some time and focused her concentration back to her studies. She has a Chemistry exam the next day and she was a bit worried and nervous about it.

It has been a good three years since she last touched her books or wrote any exam. She was not as confident as before. She decided to study for the entire night and so that she can revise the entire syllabus.

She even had her dinner in her room and Abhi didnot go to her room and he slept in his own room.

She then looked at the script infront of her and she texted Abhi "I don't think I can do it, atleast for now".

She then got a text right at that moment "Okay". She was a bit guilty but she decided to be frank and honest at the man who loved her so much.

The next morning Shriya woke up early and she had dark circles under her eyes as she didn't get much sleep last night. Abhi looked at her at the breakfast table and he smiled at her. He thought "I think I should not let her study much."

He wished her 'all the best' and he left to his shooting location. She then left to her college and she went straight to her examination hall.

Her seat was in the last row and was in a corner away from others.
