Chapter 35 - Acting

"Yes, Uncle" Aarav replied.

"Okay wait there, I will send uncle Manoj there, do you remember him?" Avinash questions.

"Yes," Aarav replied.

"Okay then wait there for ten minutes," Avinash then tells something to his assistant and then tells Aarav to give the phone to his mom.

"Miss. Meera, my assistant will come to take Aarav there, Aarav knows him so you can send Aarav with him, I will send him home in the evening," Avinash said and hang up the call. The meaning is quite clear, that she is not invited.

Avinash while saying this forgot that he is not talking on a cell phone but the watch, so Aarav can hear that.

"baby, are you comfortable staying with uncle for the whole afternoon?" Meera can't help questioning, she is not so thick-faced to follow Aarav, if Avinash is being rude, then she doesn't want to save him. To be honest she doesn't trust that such an arrogant person will attempt suicide.

"mom can you come with me, please, I also wanted to see you act" Aarav requested. On Aarav's this sentence, Meera remembers what the original Meera did. The original Meera wanted to become a famous actor, and for that, she try to use her brother-in-law, she once comes to meet him using Aarav as an excuse, and then requested Avinash for a role, more than request is demanded from her.

Now Meera understands why Avinash is not allowing her on set.

"baby first thing I am not going to act in this movie, and the second thing is I am...Ummm, I am not a good actor so you might never able to see me acting," Meera said while looking a little embarrassed. Meera in her original world has the fear of public speaking, so acting is not going to be her cup of tea.

"But Mumma...." Aarav remembers once he hears his mom speaking with someone, she is requesting them to give her a role.

"it's okay baby, now I don't like acting anymore, I just love cooking, and I think I am quite good at it" Meera can sense what Aarav is thinking and decided to not make him worry.

"mom you are too good at cooking. but why don't like acting anymore?" Aarav can't help but question. He doesn't like kindergarten when he is a child, and once because he fights with other children. He also knows his mom liked acting very much in the past, so now he wanted to know the reason if he can he will help his mom.

"Previously I wanted that people should like me, and by being an actor many people might like me, but then I realized that you like me, and that is enough for me, I don't need that others to like me, only my baby liking me is enough," Meera said while messing Aarav's hair.

"Really?" Meera hears the same magnetic voice she hears on the phone. And look towards that direction.

"Uncle.."Aarav also recognize the voice and run towards him. Meera sees the man covering his face with a mask and sunglasses while wearing a hoodie.

"Aren't you going to send your assistant?" Meera can't help but question. She to be honest get somewhat scared by this man.

"They are still making the location ready, so I am here to personally take my prince," Avinash said while pulling Aarav in his arms.

"Oh, then I will wait for him here, when your shoot will start you can send him back," Meera said while standing up.

"I will send him home" Avinash now looks at the woman whom he doesn't like much.

"Uncle, can't mom come with us?" Aarav can't help but question, he is never seen the shooting, so he is feeling a little nervous it will be great if his mom is with him.

"...Okay" Avinash replied helplessly, this woman must be using Aarav once again, he can't help but think in his mind. Meera wanted to refuse, but after a thought, she decided to follow him, first thing she was still somewhat concerned about Aarav's safety, and second, she might get some clue about the death of Avinash.

Avinash takes them to the next floor using a VVIP lift, then he takes them to his changing room.

"So uncle you do makeup here?" Aarav questions, he is a little curious about shooting, his mom is also an actor and uncle too, but he is not allowed to watch films. His dad makes sure that he will only watch tv for two hours and that too some educational programs & cartoons.

"Yes," Avinash replied, then he find a box and give Aarav chocolate.

"Wow it's my favorite, thank you" Aarav replied. Meera from the start tries to minimize her existence. Avinash doesn't even bother to speak with her. The assistant of Avinash informs him that his shot is ready. Avinash tells his assistant to hold Aarav while he is shooting. Aarav quite excitedly looks towards the assistant.

This way they all go to the shooting location. As a special guest Aarav, Meera gets a comfortable seat.

"Action," the director said. Meera realized this is a fighting scene, Avinash and the other man are staring at each other.

"How dare you touch my people?" The other man shouted and he kick Avinash. Avinash falls to the floor, Mera can't help but want to praise Avinash for his great acting. But before she can say something Aarav runs towards his uncle.

"You bad man why are you kicking my uncle?" Aarav said and stand in front of Avinash. Everyone on the shooting location gets frozen due to this. The actor who kicks Avinash wanted to say something, but when he comes near, Aarav gets a little scared, still, he stretches his hands and glared at the man.

"Aaru..." Avinash gets a little helpless due to this, but it somehow warms his heart, he remembers how his brother often fights for him.

"Uncle I and mom will protect you," Aarav said while looking at his uncle, no matter what he will not let anyone bully his family.

"Aarav we are just acting, it's fake," Avinash said while standing up. He pulls his little nephew in his arms.

"Acting?' Aarav questions.

"yes, he just acting, he doesn't kick me hard but acts like that..." Avinash tries to explain in simple words.

"oh.....then uncle sorry," Aarav said while looking at the other man, and then he quickly gets free from his uncle's hand and hide behind his mom. He is so foolish, that's why his mom might not take him to shoot.

Everyone on the shooting location has a smile on their face due to this event, they don't know who this boy is, But the way he calls Avinash uncle he might be the son of a close relative of Avinash.

And looking at the beautiful woman who might be the mother of this boy, they held the curious eyes.
