2 FLAWS & FAULTS

Episode 2: I Never Knew You.

It's him. It's definitely him.

(runs as fast as she can...rushes into the restroom)

It's him. I definitely saw him.

Takes out the cellphone and dials the first no. On her speed dial list.

(Ringing.....)

(The number you're trying to reach is not answering. Please try again later.)

Baby, I'm in a meeting. I'll call you when I'm free. Message popped on her screen.

(seeing herself in the mirror..)

Why did he come after 10 years?? For me?? No, no, definitely not for me.

Then why did he come? Does he know that I work here? What might be the reason?

Ok, Shrenu what ever the reason might be, it's over. It's all over. Remember, past is long gone.

Don't panick. You're strong.

It's your big day. Don't ruin it.

(In mind...)

Shrenu, it's ok. Don't forget it's your big day.

(Composing herself...)

Remember, it's your big day.

You can do it.

(at the door of the meeting hall..)

Shrenu, Where have you been?

There are only10 minutes left for the meeting.

Go and smash it.

Yes, I will. Mr. Jay.

(Entering the meeting hall..)

Good morning, Mr. Arora

Good morning, Ms. Shrenu.

I want you to introduce a new board member.

Here, He's Mr. Advik Shrivasthav.

She didn't believe her eyes. She prayed to God asking to wake her up from this dream.

He's standing before her almost looking her in the eyes.

She tried so hard to hold back her tears. And probably the director saved her before she'd embarrass herself in front of everyone.

Shrenu?? Are you alright?

(Ahem.. clearing her throat...)Yes, sir.

This is Mr. Advik Shrivasthav. He'll be attending all the important meetings from now.

(Still staring each other... )

Do you know each other?

(At the same time)

Advik: Yes. Shrenu: No

What? The Director asked.

(Looking at her...)

No, Mr. Arora. Advik answered in a soft tone.

(introducing themselves...)

Hi, Advik Shrivasthav.

Looking straight into her eyes.

You are Ms. Shrenu right?

Yes, Shrenu Palan here.

(Giving her a smile...)

I hope we get along well.

(No, that's never gonna happen. Her heart answered.)

Ok sir, let's start the meeting.

(Meeting starts...)

She does her best in the meeting explaining everything and almost avoiding him.

Ms. Shrenu Palan, is this project gonna be a success?

*sigh*

Yes, Mr. Shrivasthav.

I hope it'll be a success.

She arranged all her files and rushed out as fast as she can and ran down the stairs.

Shrenu, here.(Jay calling her in the lobby..)

How's the meeting? Did you smash it?

Hmmm... I think so. Mr. Jay.

What happened? Is everything ok?

Yes. Everything's fine.

(Advik watching them from the meeting room)

What are they even talking?

(Meanwhile Shrenu and Jay laughing and talking about the mess they've created at the New year's Eve.)

Seeing his love talking to another guy, he clenched his fist as if he was ready to hit a wall or someone's nose.
