Anokhi's House

Anokhi was sleeping

Door bell rings
(Ting tong... Ting tong...)

Anokhi (in sleepy voice) : Di dekh na kon h.... di...

In an attempt to sit on the bed Anokhi fell down

"Ouchh...."

She opens her eyes and facepalmed her

"Nikki tu ab Chandigarh mai nhi Mumbai mai h aur yaha di to kya koi bhi nhi h..."

Ting tong.....

"Arey aa rahi hu.... "

Anokhi opens the door

Person (questionable tone) : Anokhi Bhalla.....?
Anokhi : Ji, aap?

"Hi mai Reema.., mai samne vale flat m rehti hu..."

"Hi... Pr aapko mera naam kese pta??"

"Varun told me.., Actually I'm a fashion designer and I've designed clothes for Varun... And he's a very good friend of mine..."

"Oh acha... Please come in.....Toh aap..."

Reema (cuts in between) : Anokhi no formalities please, call me tum, aur ab to hum neighbours bhi hai and after all you are also going to be a part of this industry... To itna to banta h na...?

Anokhi liked her friendly nature so she gave in

Anokhi : To Reema tum kabse ho yaha Mumbai mai??

They both sat on the couch

Reema : 4 saal ho gye hai and you know what, I've enjoyed every moment of these 4 years and I'll never regret it....
Anokhi dekh zaruri nahi ki jo tu chahe vo tujhe mil jae... Aur is baat se kabhi upset nhi hona... Life might have different plans for you but always give your 100% in everything.

Anokhi was smiling while listening to her, she needed this small pep talk session before her auditions.

Anokhi : Thank you so much Reema I really needed this...

Reema : So friends...?

"Off course :)"

Varun's message got flashed on Reema's phone
