The Love We Hold
Meeting You Again
Saffrina
You're hurting me!
Saffrina
I know that you don't care.
Saffrina
Actually you would never care.
Saffrina
It doesn't matter if I stay or not.
Saffrina
Because you don't love me anymore...
Saffrina
That Ivan which I knew was never like this.
Saffrina
Tho your past got worse and the reason was me...
Saffrina
I still deserved a chance.
Saffrina
To change your future.
Saffrina
To change your present.
Saffrina
To change ourselves.
Saffrina
You broke my heart showing that I am not good enough for you at all!
Saffrina
I kept chasing you and you... you freaking kept running.
Saffrina
I kept shedding tears and you kept making me cry.
Saffrina
And now... I am trying my best to move on...
Saffrina
You're back again!!
Saffrina
With no intentions of loving me.
Saffrina
Maybe you all are just confused with my words.
Saffrina
Let me clear that confusion by telling you about my 5 years before the story.
Saffrina
5 years ago I got a job as a babysitter for a young girl, Isabella.
Saffrina
It was just the starting of the worst and then I got to know that she has an ' elder brother ' named...
Episode 1: Meeting You Again
Name: Saffrina Stone
Age: 21
Saffrina
Who the hell is it?
Saffrina
It's just 8 in the morning.
Saffrina
It could be that angry Landlord!
Knock knock (knocking hardly)
Landlord
Wake up, the so called sleeping ugly beauty!
Saffrina
Wth? Sleeping ugly beauty? She doesn't even exist. And what's with 'ugly beauty'?
Note:
*ABC* means actions.
(ABC) means thinking.
{ABC} means the extra information which you need to know.
Landlord
Wake up!!! *Shouting loudly*
Saffrina
Wait a moment! *In a loud voice*
Landlord
How much time does it takes to open a door?
Landlord
It's 8 am!! How can you sleep till this time?
Landlord
You people have just lost your manners!
Landlord
You don't even keep a proper sleeping routine!
Landlord
Comes home at 1 am goes to sleep at 2 am and waking up at 8 am?!
Saffrina
Rather than pointing on my manners please give a look on your manners.
Saffrina
You were shouting so loudly.
Landlord
I was shouting because of you!!
Saffrina
*Realising her mistake.*
Hmm... What do you want?
Saffrina
Why are you here?
Landlord
Give me my money!
Landlord
You haven't paid my money for 3 months!
Landlord
How long are you going to take to pay my money?
Saffrina
I told you I'm having some financial problems.
Saffrina
I told you that I've written a book, the only thing is that no one is buying it😶😶
Landlord
I don't care that if anyone's gonna buy it or not!
Landlord
Give me my money and get out!
Saffrina
I'm not leaving. I told you I'll give you your money then why are you going to kick me?
Landlord
The money which you give for rent isn't much and I am getting more money from others, so someone else is going to come here to live.
Saffrina
You're telling me this now??!
Landlord
Pack your bags, give me my money and kindly get lost.
Saffrina
You should've told me before!
Saffrina
Tell 'em to find another place to live.
Landlord
No one will choose your living over money.
Saffrina
I don't have any money!!
Saffrina
How am I going to pay?
Saffrina
I don't have any place to live, where am I going to sleep?
Landlord
You surely got some amount of money from your friend a few days ago, right?
Landlord
GIVE ME THAT MONEY!!!
Landlord
PAY THE RENT AND LEAVE!
Saffrina
I took that money for my eatables!
Saffrina
If I'll give you that money then how will I survive??
Landlord
What did you just say?!
Saffrina
Why don't you try to understand my situation?
After a huge argument, Saffrina gives that money to the landlord and asks for some time for packing.
Saffrina
I hope that now he's satisfied!
Saffrina
Now the problem is that...
Saffrina
I never had many friends... My old classmates just roll their eyes looking at me and my poor income.
Saffrina
My only friend, Amy is the only friend I have.
Saffrina
I know her boyfriend won't let me live with her.
Saffrina
As I lived at their house for more than 6 months.
Saffrina
And my idiot boyfriend...
Saffrina
He never picks his call.
Saffrina
And the hella point is I don't even know where he lives.
Saffrina
I know it doesn't make any sense.
Saffrina
But he never lets me know...
Saffrina
He starts to fight with me...
Saffrina
And I am scared to lose him.
Saffrina
That's why I keep myself shut.
Saffrina
I should better call Amy.
Saffrina
I hope that she'll help me at some point.
Amy
Sorry Saff, I can't help you again.
Name: Amy
Age: 21
Relation: Saffrina's best friend.
Amy
You already owe me more than 10 thousand.
Saffrina
It's not for the money.
Amy
You're kicked out again?
Amy
My bf won't let you live with me...
Saffrina
I only want to know that is there any place where I can live?
Amy
I don't have any idea...
Saffrina
I am ready to work too!
Saffrina
Do you know anyone who needs help in anything?
Amy
My bf has a friend, Ben.
Amy
Ben's brother's friend is in a search for a babysitter.
Amy
The only problem is that they are searching for a 'decent' one.
Amy
I doubt that they'll accept you.
Saffrina
And where can I live?
Amy
This offer is interesting.
Amy
They will let you live there.
Amy
Only on one condition.
Amy
I don't know about that.
Amy
I'll forward you the details...
Amy
Like number and address.
Saffrina
I don't like children at all!
Saffrina
For sometime, I have to bear this.
After some time, Amy forwards the details and Saffrina gets ready for the interview.
Saffrina
I hope everything will be fine.
Saffrina reaches at the given address.
Saffrina
This house looks huge!
Saffrina
Surely they are rich.
Saffrina
I hope that they'll accept me.
Suddenly Saffrina hears a familiar voice behind the walls.
...
How many times do I have to tell you to take care of the flowers well??
Saffrina peeks a bit to see who's that guy.
And she sees someone too familiar.
And that's how Saffrina meets Ivan again.
Everyone Changes
Episode 2 : Everyone Changes
Saffrina
(This can't be happening...)
Saffrina
(I still remember how bad he looked before.)
Saffrina
(Maybe I am mistaken.)
Saffrina
(I should hurry up for my interview.)
Saffrina rings the door bell.
Suddenly a strange feeling comes to her making her feel that someone is behind her.
Ivan was standing behind her without knowing who she is.
Ivan
Oh, maybe you're the new babysitter who's here for an interview!
Ivan moves forward and leaves without looking at her.
Saffrina
(From his voice and face...)
Saffrina
(Yup! He is really Ivan.)
Saffrina
Hello mam! *Bows.*
Saffrina
(She looks a little weak...)
Saffrina
(And even nervous.)
Saffrina
Oh, hello Mrs Smith!
Saffrina
I am Saffrina Stone... I-
Saffrina enters into the house and looks around.
Saffrina
(Whoa!! This is unbelievable! This house is so huge inside!)
Saffrina
(The furniture... It looks too expensive!)
Saffrina
(I wonder from where do these people get such money.)
Anna
Have a seat Saffrina.
Anna
Okay so, let's get into the point.
Anna
As you know I want to hire a good lady who will be able to take care of my daughter and my house.
Anna
Taking care of my daughter is easy. She isn't like other kids who are mischievous.
Anna
But there's another issue.
Anna
And because of that I am not getting a chance to hire a babysitter.
Saffrina
(Don't tell me that he is...)
Anna
He is always busy in his stuffs and hardly spends time with us.
Anna
I urgently have to take my leave to another state.
Anna
And I have my doubts that whether Ivan will take good care of my daughter or not.
Saffrina
You want me to babysit your son who's nearly my age too?
Anna
I am saying that he will hire you.
Anna
Last time I hired 3 babysitters for my daughter.
Anna
They robbed the precious items.
Anna
And my son is the only one who earns money.
Anna
So he's little... You know?
He gets mad when his money is used for any waste.
Anna
He gives his much time in earning money and spending on my medical needs and my Isabella's {daughter's} education.
Anna
He told me that there's no need for anyone to take care of my Isabella.
Anna
Ivan can take care of himself but my daughter is just 6 years old and she trusts people easily.
Anna
I am asking you to take care of my house and family.
Anna
Just you have to do is to cook, clean, teach my daughter like a tutor, play with her, wash clothes.
Saffrina
(She thinks that it's less or something?)
Saffrina
(It's too much!!)
Saffrina
(I don't even cook for myself then how am I going to cook for others?)
Saffrina
If you don't mind...
Anna
You'll be living here for 5 months.
Anna
Soon, I'll be here after 5 months and then, you can take your leave.
Saffrina
(Maybe after 5 months I will get my total salary and even my books will be sold.)
Saffrina
Just wanted to ask you about the salary...
Anna
Talk with Ivan for this.
Anna
He's in the next room, wait I will call him.
Anna
Look Ivan, this is Saffrina Stone.
Anna
You remember Carl? His girlfriend is her friend.
Anna
What do you think about her?
Ivan takes a glance at Saffrina.
Ivan
Mom, I thought that you were searching for a babysitter.
Ivan
Who could be a decent one.
Ivan
Why did you bring a homeless girl here?
An awkward silence was spread.
Anna
*Breaking the silence* Ivan is this the way you'll speak to someone who was kicked out?
Ivan
Then why don't you ask herself that why she was kicked out?
Saffrina
*Speaks in between.*
It was because of my money problems.
Ivan
Did I ask you to speak?
Ivan
Who knows that in the hunger of money, you'll steal our belongings?
Ivan
Do you have any hearing problem?
Ivan
I said 'who knows' before.
Anna
Oh my God, Ivan! Stop it!
Anna
*Whispers.*
Ivan, think again. I know that her condition isn't well but you know that we urgently need a babysitter.
Anna
I can't wait longer for this.
Anna
You know how important it is for me to leave.
Ivan
Do I look that careless to you?
Ivan
Ain't I matured enough to take care of my little sister?
Ivan
And there's no need to whisper!
Anna
You never try to understand me at all!
Anna
I accept that it was my mistake but -
Saffrina
*Enjoys the drama.*
Ivan
Why are you adding personal things in front of a nobody?
Ivan
Can't you see that she's enjoying the whole drama?
Ivan
We don't need you, leave!
Saffrina
Mister, what's your problem?
Saffrina
I am here for a job.
Saffrina
I ain't going to take your money without working.
Ivan
Don't you understand? Just leave!
Saffrina
What is your problem?
Saffrina
Why are you being so rude?
Saffrina
You don't want me to work here, right?
Saffrina
Well that's not my problem.
Ivan
Why are you taking her side...?
Anna
It's declared that Saffrina will be working here for 5 months.
Anna
Ivan, show Saffrina her room and tell her what she needs to do.
Ivan's mother kisses Ivan's cheeks with a pleasant smile and gets back to her room.
Ivan
Why don't you find any other place to live at?
Saffrina
I don't have that much money to...
Ivan
I know how is your real nature.
Ivan
Just remember one thing, only once you can fool someone, not twice.
Ivan
Ask the maid to show your room and your stuffs.
Ivan
And yes, I want a good lunch.
Ivan
Something which is healthy.
Ivan
And that also homemade.
Ivan
Outside food isn't allowed.
Saffrina
Okay, but when did I fool you...?
Ivan leaves without looking at Saffrina.
Saffrina
(He's changed...)
Saffrina
(Does he still remember everything which happend in High School?)
A Failure
Saffrina
(I shan't think about something which doesn't matter now.)
Saffrina
(I don't care if he's angry at me or not, it's not my job to keep him happy or something.)
Saffrina
(He surely got a bad attitude as he's earning by himself.)
Saffrina
(The way he talked with his mother says a lot.)
Saffrina
(I should worry about the dinner!!! Oh God, what should I cook?)
Saffrina
(YouTube will help me out.)
Saffrina
(But first, I have to check Ivan's sister, I hope that she could be a little different from this angry joker [ Ivan ])
Saffrina
*Snaps out from her thinking* Hmm?
Maid
*In a polite way* I was told to take you to your room.
Saffrina
Oh, yeah...! Can you please help me with shifting my stuff too?
Maid
(How lazy she is? Can't she do it by herself? But I can't say anything...)
Saffrina
Thanks. (Phew! I really hate the work of shifting, I am glad that she agreed to help me.)
The maid helps Saffrina to keep all the things on the right place in her room.
Maid
When she'll wake up, I'll tell you.
Maid
(Just thanks? Well, I don't care as I am going on my leave for damn 5 months) *Happy.*
Maid
(I have a good chance to stay away from this Smith's zoo!)
Maid
(I should act a little well with her as she is going to bear the most horrible family.)
Maid
Nothing, mam, have a good day!
Saffrina
(Why am I feeling weird?)
Meanwhile in Mrs Smith's room.
Anna
Ivan, please come in.
Ivan
Why did you appoint her?
Ivan
You know I hate strangers a lot.
Anna
Yes I was also thinking same.
Anna
You hate strangers, but you still looked at her in a different way.
Ivan
Nothing was different.
Anna
C'mon, Ivan! I know you very well.
Ivan
Why are you changing the subject? I asked you why did you appoint her?
Ivan
I was rejecting everyone because I wanted to live alone with my little sister.
Ivan
But you... You always pour water on my plans!😑
Ivan
I even rejected Saff, but...
Ivan
But you completely left me with her saying that she's hired.
Ivan
Do you know anything about her?
Anna
No, but I felt something different.
Ivan
Yes, she's different. A vixen disguised as a human.
Anna
You're bad at cracking jokes.
Anna
So what do you know about her?
Anna
Wait, is Saffrina your old classmate? When you were in High School, you always talked about her.
Ivan
No way! I don't know any Saffrina. *Lies*
Anna
*Zips the last bag.* Okay, so I am done packing everything. I will be back in few months.
Ivan
Did you tell that homeless girl...
Ivan
Yeah, Katrina!! *Rolls eyes.*
Anna
You're doing this intentionally.
Ivan
Whatever, so I was saying that did you tell her that the maid isn't going to be here for some months?
Anna
Oh shi*! I forgot that!
Anna
Please inform her about that or else she would be thinking that the maid will help her with her work.
Ivan
Sure mom, I will inform her. (Heh! I will never.)
Meanwhile in Saffrina's room.
Saffrina
Okay! So I learnt how to light up the gas, how to boil milk, how much sugar is needed for 1 cup of coffee and how much spoons of coffee is needed.
Saffrina
This video took my 10 minutes.
Saffrina
Hmm... My 3 minutes were wasted in ads.
Saffrina
Well, I shouldn't worry a lot as the maid can also help me...
Saffrina
I should sit freely without taking any tension.😄
Saffrina
I should accept Ivan has changed a lot.
Saffrina
Everyone has changed.
Saffrina
All my old friends have a stable future.
Saffrina
Some are designers, professors, even one of my friends is working as an HR.
Saffrina
And Ivan... I wonder what he does to earn money.
Saffrina
What if I check his name on Google 😅?
Saffrina
But I know he wouldn't be that famous that his name will appear there.
Saffrina
But what's wrong in checking?
Saffrina
He looks rich maybe his name will come...
Saffrina checks on google about Ivan.
Saffrina
*Widen eyes* WHAT THE HELL?!
Name: Ivan John Smith.
Profession: Singer, Guitarist.
Famous songs: The Love We Hold, etc
Status: Single.
Saffrina
And a guitarist??
Saffrina
He is so popular...
Saffrina
I don't listen rock songs...
Saffrina
Maybe that's why I never heard his name at all...
Saffrina
I never thought that he could be that popular...
Saffrina
Maybe I am the only one who's remained as a failure.
