Rockstar's

A HAWAIIN GIRL

On the beach side, Jangir is sitting on a beach chair. Writing something in his notebook. He has a cuban (cigar) in his mouth. Two tangerine-colored drinks are placed on a table on his right hand side. Only a few sips have been taken. The sky is looking pink and purple, and the sand is golden. A very few people were there on the beach. Then we see Ava coming out of the water in an orange bikini. She is walking towards Jangir, and he is now looking at her.

Ava’s hair is open, she has breathtaking green eyes and she has a toned athletic body. A diva on the beach. Wedding hymns are now playing inside Jangir’s head. And then she came to him. Sits on the beach chair next to him. Pick up her drink.

“Ava checks out that he hasn't finished his drink.”

Ava: So, you don't like mai-tai?

Jangir: No, I loved it. Waise saara nasha to tumse hi ho gya. Ab iski kya zarurat.

Ava doesn't understand, she just smiles at him and asks

“I beg your pardon.”

Jangir: I am saying let’s have it together. By the way, what’s the plan now?

Ava: Actually, there is no plan. Just stop everything you are doing and give your next days to this place. Just live like you always belonged here.

Jangir: I think I know the best person with whom I can see the real Hawaii.

Ava: You are sure you can match the speed with me, “Then Ava stands up from the bench, and goes 10 steps away.”

Jangir: Hanji, more than sure...

Ava: You are sure you won't get scared. (Then she laughs and starts running and says) Then get up and come with me...

“Jangir puts his notebook aside, drinks the entire glass of Mai-Tai"

Jangir: Le, Aa gya shaayar... Macha k Jayega. Bada mazbut tere dil ka kila... Uski bhi neev hila k jayega.

“Then we see Ava and Jangir having a lot of fun there. Ava is showing him the things she used to do in Hawaii. She took him for Scooba diving, in the crystal-clear water of the Island.”

Jangir: I have never done anything like this before. (He is scared and doesn’t want to do it)

Ava: I know, a lot of people find this sport scary. But don’t worry, the oxygen won't run out and you can trust me.

“Then Jangir gathers the courage. And they are enjoying a lot underwater. He is even scared anymore and he's learning new things from Ava. Beautiful fishes are going in front of his eyes. He’s trying to touch them. Ava is swimming like a mermaid.

“Then we saw that they were tracking along the Kalalau Trail. The landscapes are breathtaking. Ava supports Jangir, but he is not moving at all. He is just shivering.”

Jangir: Why do you always find a sport which is directly related to death? If I fall from here, even my dad won't recognize me.

Ava: When I did it for the first time. I had the same feelings. And you know what my dad told me. He said, “Don't look down, you're not going that way”. So, I looked up.

Jangir moves an inch and shouts Yess...

"Both are now in a helicopter, seeing the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. Only the two are in the helicopter."

Ava: Can you see that mountain? That’s a volcano?

Jangir: Is it active?

Ava: Let’s take the helicopter a bit lower, then you can see it properly.

Jangir: No, I can see. It's dangerously active. By the way, thanks for choosing this today. Feeling so relaxed. It’s not scary or dangerous at all. Other vise all the night I just imagine how am I going to die tomorrow. And look at that beautiful waterfall. Last time I saw something like that was in a song from a Bollywood movie.

In the evening, they are on the sunset beach. The sky is looking orange, pink and purple. They are both just walking casually. There's a fair going on the beach side.

Ava: Come, let me show you something traditional.

“Then they both went inside the fair. A lot of people are there. Some are making seafood. The group is singing traditional Hula music and dancing. Jangir is just looking at everything.”

Then, Ava goes to that group of musicians and joins them. They offered her the mic, and she started singing. Jangir is just looking at her. Her singing is powerful and emotive, her vocal control is impressive, and she has an incredible range. Her voice is beautiful. A lot of thoughts are shooting into Jangir’s head, he has now fallen for her. Ava checks him out from there. She looks into his eyes and the eyes tell the whole story. Ava calls him to dance. He goes to her and now they are both dancing.

Ava: It’s OK if you can put your hand on my waist.

Jangir: You sure?

“Ava then takes his hand and puts it on her waist. And they started dancing. Jangir is also trying to give his best. Both look like ‘Cleopatra and Mark Antony’. Both are in a completely different zone now. The music is loud, and everyone is enjoying themselves. At that moment, Jangir and Ava kiss. It was initiated by Ava. Looks like time has stopped for him. He feels heavenly. It was his first experience. Then, they stop and just keep looking at each other. We can call it a perfect moment.”

Then, Ava sees a person standing with a group of kids. She immediately goes to him and hugs him. It’s Kai, her old friend.

Kai: Hana... I can’t believe it. You are here. When did you come? Jesus... You have made me so happy right now.

Ava (Hana): It’s a long story. You tell me, what are you doing here?

Kai: You see those kids. They have a performance in 5 minutes, and I am their music teacher.

Ava: Are you serious, Kai?

Kai: Yeah... After you left, I started working on something else. But I was not happy at all. I couldn't do it because I loved only music and I missed you a lot. I always knew that you wanted to teach music. So, I started doing it.

Ava: I missed you too.

“Then Jangir comes back.”

Ava: kai, he’s Jangir. We work together in L.A.

Kai: Nice to meet you.

Jangir: Pleasure all mine. (He is not happy now)

It's time for the performance. They all went towards the stage and the kids started singing. Kai and Ava are cheering them on. Then a kid missed a beat, Ava immediately goes on the stage and sits on her knees and starts singing with them. Everyone there loves it and claps. After the performance, Ava comes to Kai and they both hug each other and laugh. Jangir is now jealous.

Kai: It was perfect Hana. Come, let’s go to meet all our friends, they will all be so happy to see you.

Ava to Jangir: You have to go to the guest house alone today. I must go somewhere.

Jangir: Yeah sure, you go ahead. Don’t worry about me.

“Then Ava and Kai are leaving.”

Ava: Bye...

Jangir: Bye

Kai: See you buddy.

Jangir: Bye, Ja leja Bsdk.

“Then, for the next few days, Ava hangs out with Kai more than Jangir. Even if they go anywhere, Kai is always there with them. Sometimes Jangir feels uncomfortable around him. So now sometimes he prefers staying in the guest house.”

Now, three weeks have passed. Jangir is going towards Ava’s room. He has his notebook in his hand and he enters the room. She is changing her dress. He comes closer to her and speaks...

Jangir: Hai khula har Angg tera... Meri nazar ruki teri khuli Zulfon pr.

Ava: Ahh, I dint get it (curiously)

Jangir: It means you have got beautiful hair.

Ava: Thanks...

Jangir: By the way, you know why I am here. (He Shows her the Notebook) Here’s your album Madam. Have a look.

“Ava is Flabbergasted. She then takes the notebook, opens the first page and then sees the title “A HAWAIIN GIRL”.

Jangir: The entire work is completed Ava. Sorry, I should phrase it better. Makani Hana... You are going to have your album ready.

“She is so happy right now. She immediately hugs and then kisses him.”

Jangir: Thanks for that... I think I should have given the songs one by one. (Both laughs)

Then Ava started recording the songs. And Jangir is also there in the studio. Very soon, the work was finished. And now the album is in the final stage of mixing and mastering.

Now, the year has almost passed. Jangir and Ava are walking on a beach in the evening.

Jangir: My time has come Ava. I know the album has not been released yet. And the contract can’t be completed without that. But now I don’t care about that. And I think for me this is the best time to leave.

Ava: No... Please, you can't go now. Please don’t go, I need you here. How would I do it without you? I will not ask you for anything else. Just stay till the release of the album.

“He thinks for a minute.”

Jangir: Okay, but I need to ask you something. If you answer it correctly, then I'll be here till the release.

Ava: What’s it?

Jangir: This question I have already asked you in LA. Once you're done with your agreement... What will you do?

Ava: (Takes a deep breath) I have planned that I'll go back to LA for a few more years. I think leaving everything behind was a bad decision of mine.

Jangir: But why this thought now, what happened?

Ava: It’s Kai. One day he asked me:

Kai: - So, how long are you here?

Ava (Hana): - I might never go back.

Kai: - Hana, you see all these all these people respecting you... loving you, because you are a big star now. Tell me, before you went to LA, was your life the same? I even want you to be here. But you can't stay here. You must go...

Ava: This is the reason I am thinking about it. What do you think?

“He thinks for a minute.”

Jangir: He is right Ava. People love you and respect you. But being a star is not the only reason. The reason is you belong here. From the time till i was in LA, I hadn't seen you smiling once. But since we came here, I have found a totally new Ava. There I have always seen a celebrity, but here I see a ROCKSTAR... named Makani Hana.

Even though I came here for the money, I got so much more than that... I can't even explain. And now I don’t care about the money or the agreement. All I want is for you to always be happy. And then I wanted to see my dad and Pannu.

“Ava Smiles”

Jangir: I know very well that there you'll be a very popular singer. But here you'll be a Rockstar who not only makes music but creates magic wherever she goes.

“Ava understands what he’s trying to say. She’s feeling a bit emotional”

Ava: Can’t you stay here with me...

Jangir: I belong to their Ava...

Ava: Will you come back for me...?

Jangir: I think that's not possible.(Smiles and says) Even Jane won't help us now to get the offer letter.

“Ava is not happy with his decision.”

Jangir: But there is a way...

Ava: Tell me (Curiously asks)

Jangir: I just remembered something my travel agent told me.

Ava: What's that?

Jangir: Miss Hana, If you want... I can come on the spouse grounds.

"And then he kisses her on the beach, and then the beautiful sun sets."

*****

P.S

~ The album ‘THE HAWAIIN GIRL’ has been released in a very big event. People are cheering Ava’s name. They wanted to see her, but she was not there. She is on the beach of Hawaii looking at the beautiful sunset. The sky has transformed into a canvas of vibrant hues. With a mesmerising smile on her face, she had a Mai-Tai, and a beautiful ring on her finger. And on the other hand, Jangir is boarding the flight with a smile on his face.”
