CHAPTER 2

(After seeing the same person on the street, whom she had been dreaming of sometime before. She came down very fast and started following him. The road was a little busy but she keeps following him. She collides with a woman which diverts her attention from the boy. She apologized to the woman and turned to look for the boy again but he suddenly disappeared. She starts looking around for him, but cannot find him. After 5 minutes or so, she too leaves from there, pouting.)

(As she was leaving, the boy peeks at her from the crowd, he was standing just beside the lady with whom she collided. And he smirks. Then after that, he also went to his house. When he was entering his house, someone's voice came from behind.)

Voice: Sarang…. Sarang….

(He leads to the voice, scared)

Sarang: What is, Amma? (Acting innocent)

Amma: Since when have I been calling you, where were you? (Strictly, placing her hands at the waist)

Sarang: You were calling me, but I didn't get the call, I think I forgot my phone at home. (frowning)

Amma: How careless you are, unbelievable (in disbelief)

Sarang: Sorry ... (made a puppy face)

Sarang goes to his room

(To the right of the entrance was his bed and in front of it was his table-chair which also had books with study lamp. The window is also visible to the left of the study table. There was a wardrobe on the left side and there were many posters on the walls of different bands.)

(Sarang lies on his bed and closes his eyes. As soon as he closes his eyes, the girl's face again came in front of him. He sighs and starts to admire her beauty.)

Sarang: She is so beautiful...(dreamingly) But what can be her name... (again sighs), she stays there... (staring at the ceiling), but why was she following me? Did she know me or was she looking for someone else? ... (asking himself) Is she interested in me or am I thinking too much.…oh god I don’t why I am thinking too much about her (smiling to himself).

(Then he remembers the song, he had heard in the auditorium)

(A Thousand Years by Christina Perri)

(She is wearing denim shorts with a loose tank top with a shrug, She had a bracelet on her hands, she is wearing white sneakers and had her spectacles on with hair tied up in a bun)

Heartbeats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(On high note)

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Sarang was in-crowd of the auditorium, he was admiring the innocent look on her face while singing.)

Sarang: I shouldn't have just stared at her but talk to her. And when I again saw her, I missed that chance too. Why I am behaving as such?

(Thinking on his bed)

(Suddenly his mother comes and knocks on his room. He yells from inside to say. Then she tells him that she received a call from Winter Bear production and they have called him, to their office. He jumps from his bed to get ready.)

***********************************************************

WINTER BEAR Productions Studio

(There is a waiting room outside the main office of the studio in which many people are sitting. A man comes out of the main office, he is the manager here)

Manager: Guys, we called you here because you all are selected for the next stage of becoming a star, Congratulations. And it will be 3 months training, where you get to know about how our industries work. While getting special training in singing and dancing, you people will be always under the camera. That's hope to be known by all. Before giving a proper call letter, we will decide whom among you will do what. what I mean is, who will be in the group and who will sing solo? Okay.

(Everyone nodded)

Manager: Now we will call you all one by one. Mr.Aryan, you come first.

(Manager and Aryan goes inside)

Sarang: Ohh…god I want to sing solo but let’s see what will happen (Scowling)

(A random boy who is sitting next to him says)

Boy: (smiles a little hearing him) I'm fine with both

Sarang: oh ok. (startled) Hi, I am Sarang and you? (forwarding his hand)

Boy: I am Barun, Nice to meet you. (meeting his hand to Sarang's)

(A sound came Barun Sharma come inside)

Barun: I think my chance has come. (smiling)

Sarang: good luck man (shaking hand)

Barun: you too.

(Barun goes inside)

Producer:  Hi Barun, I am very impressed with your singing and the rapping was also good. (professionally)

Barun: Hello sir, Thank you so much (excitedly)

Producer: OK Barun, You have two choices. Do you want to sing solo or want to be in a group?

Barun: Sir, I am ok with both of them. (smiling)

Producer: Look, frankly speaking, to me it seems that you have the qualities to become a leader. So, I think you should join a group.

Barun: Ok Sir. (gladly)

Producer: (getting more impressed) Then after completing the audition, we will discuss who will be in your group.

Barun: Ok sir.

(While outside the room, Sarang was waiting to be called in. He glanced at a girl who was going to the other side. He thinks the girl is the same girl he sees on audition day. When he about to go after that girl. He gets a call from inside the room. He gets confused, what to do now.

Should he go after that girl or inside the room?)
