Chapter 9 9

Today, the first day of the shoot. The set for the hospital was ready for the shoot. Nandini was getting ready for her shoot and she could tell that it won't take much time. Mr. Pant strictly told the make up artist to maintain her natural look. "

Doctors do not glam up when they go for their job" it was said by Mr. Pant.

In no time she was ready. She was excited just like her character. Her character name was Tara, a serious doctor but a cheerful girl. She was wearing a olive green army uniform, hairs in a ponytail, very small earing and the natural look was enhancing her overall look.

Soon she was called for the shoot. When Pant saw her, he had an admiring look as if The Tara he was imagining just came out from his imagination.

"I knew it. You are perfect for my Tara."

"Thank you." Nandini said hugging him.

"So, as for the scene, u were treating one of ur patients when you heard a teenager patient of yours is no where to be found."

"Ok take ur position."

After the instruction. The scene started. Tara was checking the pulse rate of a patient. This scene was recording in various cameras. A nurse came and told her about the missing patient. After checking the pulse she went out with nurse and started looking for her with other people. Tara was a doctor of an Army hospital

Army men and their family members always come there for treatment. The teenager girl who was missing, wandering around the hospital despite telling her to rest. Soon she was found by Tara and she brought her to her bed.

The scene completed shooting with few cuts here and there. "Very good everyone. Be prepare for next scene. I am going to shoot Manik's scene outdoor."

"Manik." Nandini whispered. She didn't see him yet. But her next scene would be with him.

"Mam, this is your script for next scene."

"Thank you."

"Mam, I need to click few photos of you. Foe promotion purposes, to let people know that the shoot has been started."

"Of course. Go ahead."

"Can you please step outside. The light will be great."

"Sure.." Nandini step outside of the set and the staff clicked few photos as she posed. She was looking beautiful in her outfit. The staff said he was done and walked away.

Nandini got a glimpse of Manik shooting a fight sequence. He was wearing black jacket & jeans, white tee. She wanted to see but she had to return to her vanity.

After an intense fight sequence, Manik had make up to make him look like beat up. His next scene was with Nandini. Their first scene together.

The scene started. A nurse was treating Anant's wounds. She was only halfway when she thought of giving him a injection. As the nurse was new so she was fumbling around. Anant noticed it and was irritated. He took the injection and was about to push it in him roughly. That's when Tara enter in the scene and grabbed his hand to stop him.

"Hold that eye contact for a while." Pant shouted.

That moment was captured in the camera and video man was shooting it from every angle.

"Nandini, dialogue." Pant throw another order after he was satisfy with their eye lock.

"That's not how you inject something in you. Do you want to get sick?"

Anant shrugged and said, "I did it before too. Didn't get sick."

Tara signaled the nurse to leave. "Of course you did. Heard you were trashed but what I don't understand is that why a thief is here in army hospital."

"Thief!! I am not a thief!"

"Then why are you thrashed if u are not? I am not dumb. I was the top student in my medical college."

"I was a top student too."

"Really?" fake Injecting him while saying, "Top student of what, Thief Academy?"

"Cut!!" Pant shouted. "Stay in the same position till we get the wall side ready."

Manik was laying on the bed and Nandini was standing near the bed, beside him. "Hello, colleague." he smiled with naughtiness.

"Hello. Do u remember your lines?"

"You wound me Nandini. Of course I remember. It's going to be a bit intense. I don't do this kind of scene just bland. U know I am the king of intensity."

"Yeah yeah.. Bu-.. What.. That smell." Nandini said covering her nose.

Manik was alarmed and inhale deeply for any kind of smell. He found nothing. Then he roamed his eyes to the room they were in and then he saw them.

"Who brought Sunflower here?" Manik shouted. Manik got it that it was not smell. Her allergy for sunflowers started to trigger.

"Sir, they are for decoration."

"Throw them away. She is allergic to it." Manik shouted again before turning to Nandini. "You Okay?"

Nick brought her medicines and she swallowed them with water. She couldn't mess with her health now. They need to finish shooting.

"You Ok, Nandini?" Pant asked.

"I am fine. Don't worry. Are we ready to shoot?"

"yes.. Be ready.. U know what to do."

After Pant shouted 'Action' , the scene started. Anant sat up so fast that Tara was startled. Anant easily cornered her on the wall with a swift push.

"What are you doing?" Tara was dumbfounded. Doing something like this with a doctor that too in a army hospital was beyond stupidity.

"Do you think a thief would have provided with a special chamber in an army hospital? You think a thief can do this to you here?" Anant said moving a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"You are not dumb but you need to observe the surrounding." Anant gave her a smile and walking away.

"Where are you going? Your wounds still need to get treated."

"Trust me, Doctor. These are nothing. I had worse."

"Cut!! Congratulations. We are done with Day1 shooting. We all are going to have lunch, My treat."

Everyone cheered. The Actors went to their vanity to change.

Rumana Malhotra was analyzing the BTS {Behind the scene} pictures that were released to show that the shooting has started. Two photos of Nandini and Two photos of their scenes together. One was Nandini holding his hand from injecting. And another one was Nandini's back on the wall and Manik cornering her, his hands on her each side.

"They actually look good together." she exclaimed.

"Woah. I thought you won't like them together or call her ugly or something." Manoj Malhotra said.

"Don't be ridiculous. She is pretty and I said that many times before too. I just wish they will get whatever they want or else working with enemies will be for nothing." She said and went away leaving her tab behind.

Manoj took the tab and saw the pictures. He was smiling affectionately as if remembering something.

"Manik Malhotra, u are going to fall for her so hard that it will shook everyone."
