The flight was almost full to Goa from Mumbai with only a
handful of seats unoccupied. Diya got the window seat while Kiara sat in the
middle and Rishaan on the edge. Kiara was discussing with Diya the potentials of
body movement and how it could be utilized for her character. All was set for
the shooting in Goa and the lead male model had already checked in the hotel where
they were to stay, giving a huge sigh of release to Kiara. Rishaan tried to
share a few light movements with Diya but Kiara’s volition of emotions that
need to be imbibed in her character had engulfed her; she did not care to
listen to Rishaan.
In the middle of the flight, Kiara woke up to go to the
washroom. When she returned, she was too lazy to push her way into the middle
seat. And with Rishaan readily offering to shift seats, the seating arrangement
changed. With 20 minutes still remaining for the flight to land, a sleep
starved Kiara took another power nap, this time holding Rishaan's right hand
more firmly. Rishaan's other hand, though, nervously moved to touch Diya's. Her
heart skipped a beat. Diya pulled her hand away. But a defiant Rishaan held her
wrist again, this time firmly and more reassuringly. He noticed that Diya, this
time, did not take the effort to free her hand. She moved her face away from
him, facing the window, but Rishaan moved closer to her, noticing her softly
parted lips. The flight was about to land , as announced from the cockpit and the
lights insider were turned off preparing for landing. He seized this
opportunity by giving a normal kiss on her cheek and slowly on her lips,
leaving her eyes wide open. The he slowly opened his mouth and touched her
tongue with his. She wasn't overly
attracted to him, but his interest in her turned her on. She closed her eyes , opening
her mouth and allowing his tongue inside.
Till the flight had landed, Rishaan played with her tongue caressing, fondling
and wrestling with it while his right hand being held firmly by Kiara.
When the flight landed at the Dabolim Airport, Rishaan felt
uncanny...his excitement seemed replaced by an unknown fear that he found very
difficult to decipher. Will Kiara come to
know about this and what will be her reaction.

“Rishaan, let’s get the full view of the temple. Both Rajashree and Maanav will have a tail shot, where in we will then dolly
as they begin their conversation”
Kiara was excited on her first shot that she didn’t know it
was Rishaan’s first project as the lead. She was already giving instruction to a specialist
but only after she had finished explaining the scene, she came to recognize
Rishaan’s vulnerability.
“Oh sorry dear, I will make it more clear”
“No problem, this is how a good cinematographer and a
director combination is born like Cameroon and Carpenter “
Kiara was laughing. “Not Cameroon, his wife Katherine is the
better director”
Kiara wanted to use the picturesque of Goa to explain her
story. Already, she had talked with the consultant who would accompany her to
various places and get the necessary permits to hold the shooting. She had
finalized a 60 day schedule for the movie.
She first selected
the Mahalakshmi temple in Goa, that was beautifully constructed and a major
tourist attraction. Her main character Rajashree, donned by Diya , had runaway
from her house to get married to her longtime boyfriend Maanav in Goa. The
character of Maanav was played by Siddharth, an aspiring model and he
considered this role as a major breakthrough in his career. As both Diya and
Siddharth was preparing for performing their part on the instructions of Kiara,
Rishaan slowly came over to Diya and moved his hand over her bottom, as Diya gave
him a stern look. Rishaan walked by laughing
Neither my kiss nor my
touch makes her angry, so it is time to make the next move thought Rishaan.
But, it didn’t go unnoticed as expected by Rishaan. Siddharth watched them exchange their looks as he was a witness to the incident. As the setting sun, extended its final rays on
the top of the temple, as if giving a bidding farewell to the temple for the
day, the careful planning by Kiara made her elated for she noticed that she was day ahead of their planned schedule.
V
After their marriage
in the temple, and with her family
discarding Rajashree, Maanav arranged a house for their stay in Goa . They found a small hut near the Arvalem
caves in Goa, where he could work as a tourist guide, while Rajshree could be
safe in the house. He worked and returned home , getting new friends and
acquaintances, until he met sally, another tourist guide, who happened to get
more clients than him.
Kiara was excited for the shot in Arvalem caves and the
waterfalls, and the set designer had finished mounting a small house, of
plaster of paris. While the crew got ready for the shot, Kiara noticed the
beauty of arvalem falls near to the caves and felt like synonymous to a lady
with her glorified hair, loosed by her exertion from its bondage of faded
ribbon.
Siddharth was full of
energy to perform his part, particularly a scene wherein the characters had to
arrange the house, but Diya’s mind kept wandering and lost her focus resulting
in retakes, which forced Kiara to have a word with her personally. Rishaan was
tensed when Kiara called in Diya for a personal chat, while Siddharth noticed his
body movement, resembling a kid awaiting his exam results moving to and fro.
After a discussion, Kiara came out of the room and on seeing Rishaan outside, moved
over to him, with her eyebrows dropped that seemed to be angry and tensed.
“I need to talk with you about Diya “
Rishaan felt as if a sea were roaring in his ears and fire
blazing in his eyes.
“Dear, you should have a word with her personally and make
her understand the importance of this movie. We cannot have a change now at
this moment” Kiara was choking with anger but Rishaan breathed a heavy sigh of
relief although making sure that she had not heard him.
“I will have a talk with Diya near the Arlam falls just to
make her feel the character”
“I will instruct her to follow you” Kiara was expecting a
big support from Rishaan.
The temperature began to drop as sun lowered, by the time
Rishaan and Diya had reached the falls. The Aryam falls was more than a normal
stream cascading down to a shallow pool but the energy of the fall was enormous
, powerfull with pushing swells and spilling like glittering diamonds into the
pool. The sound of the falls was not deafening and Rishaan had identified a
spot close to the falls, where the picturesque of the valley could be captured.
They slowly climbed the boulder to reach the secluded spot when Rishaan began,
with a raised voice
“Diya, you need to concentrate”
“With you around it is getting impossible Rishaan” Diya
actually wanted to scream with all the bad words she knew.
Rishaan slowly bent down and gently blew the hair off her
neck. He felt the water's eroticism before them and he took both her hands,
pulling her forward over the water's edge. With the water flowing down on her
and being overpowered by his strength, they started kissing, caressing and
touching each other. The passion was building up as they explored each other’s
eyes and lips, tongue and hands, until they sought out the grass nearby. With
his mouth pressed against hers, his one hand cupping her breast and with the
other hand, Rihaan pulled Diya onto the grass. As she closed her eyes and felt
like almost overcome by his passion, he moved gently but wildly down to her
jeans and undid them. He pulled off her jeans and her underwear in one go as he
ran his hands over her legs. The water
was splashing and making them wet inundating their passion. He gently pushed
inside her, all the time looking at her face and she at hers. In a few minutes,
she had rolled over onto him and lay leaning on his chest.
“After this project, I am coming with you” Diya kissed him
passionately.
