Rajbir waited patiently in the living area. He laid both his legs on the glass top central table. Whenever he heard light footsteps , he would assume it would be her. He would turn back with heightened expectation. He would get disappointed when he found it wasn't her. He didn't lose hope. He knew she would come.
In midst of his wait, his eyes closed. He went into deep slumber. He didn't notice when night turned into morning. He felt soft hands on his shoulder. He smiled and opened his eyes. "I knew you would come.",he said euphorically. He turned back to see her. He was disappointed. It was her mother. "No, it's not she.", Sonia said proudly.
"I told you she wouldn't come. You wasted your good night sleep.", she said. He looked at her with hate. "She is busy shooting there and that remind me .. What are you doing here ? Aren't you supposed to be at shoot ?", she teased him. He quickly looked at his watch. It was already 10 am. "Shit!", he cursed as he stumbled to get up. It was morning shoot and he was late.
He checked his phone while on his way. There were several miss calls from his manager, RK's assistant and RK. He was getting himself prepared to get screwed from RK. The director hated impuncuality in shoot.
When he was inside the location, he handed the keys to guard. He ran as fast as he could to the location where the shoot was happening. He collided with one of RK's assistant. "You are in serious trouble. Boss is fuming.", he said cautiously. Rajbir shivered.
He reached the set. RK was shouting at one of crew members for their inability to bring him there. Their head were bent in shame. He walked right into their conversations. “ I am sorry. I had forgotten about the shoot.”, he apologised. “How can you forget about morning shoot? This is very unprofessional of you. We wasted one day shoot because of you. I wanted to finish early morning shoot today. You ruined it.”, RK blasted at him.
