Bubble

Life is beautiful when you are surrounded by your loved ones, family, friends, and ex-lover or maybe a stalker or maybe not but it is so overwhelming to have somebody poking at you all the time. You never feel alone and certainly can’t find time to be depressed. Until they all start to poke you at the same time, for the same reason.

“Why are you stressing now? What’s done is done.” That’s Riya, Prajla’s best friend cum assistance. Oh yes, you don’t know who Prajla is. Let’s dive in.

Prajla is high maintenance, less social but highly active on social media with 4.5M followers on Instagram, well she is beautiful, but she gained the fan following because of her shows, she is a comedian. Better than Mrs. Marvelous. She lives in Mumbai, sorry South Mumbai all by herself. Her family lives in Bhubaneswar, she moved to Mumbai when she received an invitation from a famous comedy house, they saw her YouTube videos, her channel is named ‘Laughter queen’ I am not judging. She struggled her way to the peak, but at least she was finally there but today during the show, she did something unexpected, let’s get back to the backstage tension.

“How could I do that; Arjun would kill me” Arjun is Prajla’s boyfriend. We will discuss more of him later. But right now, we must find out what wrong she did, somebody please tell me. “So what you said Rahul’s name, it’s not that big deal” Rahul who? Oh, I am kidding I know Rahul is Prajla’s ex-boyfriend. Oh my god (in Janice’s voice) did she say Rahul instead of Arjun? I am still not getting it.

“It’s not just about a name. I had to use his name through the entire script and then I referred Arjun as my ex because I couldn’t think of any other name.” oh she is screwed.

“Prajla what the hell was that?” Arjun shouted, now let’s dive into Arjun’s life.

Arjun is a rich man and the producer of this show. He also lives in South Mumbai but with his whole family. They met during the show and are dating from the last five months. They were in the honeymoon phase candlelit dinners and sunny Sunday dates by the lake, but I think this is about to get a little complicated. Let’s get back to the backstage drama.

“Is this a joke? Or are you trying to tell me that you are breaking up with me? Because that was so humiliating the whole crew was giving me pity looks.” He seems unhappy

“Of course not, I got confused between the names I was nervous.” She has done a 456 stage shows why was she nervous? “It wasn’t your first show, why were you nervous?” the same I was thinking.

“I received a mail from that stalker again just before the show. He mentioned the color of my dress and he even knew that I was missing my left earing, he is definitely someone from the crew” yeah I forgot to tell you guys about this stalker, let’s give you a background on this stalker.

Someone is sending harmless mails to Prajla for the last two months. At first, she thought It was a fan, but slowly it turned out that he is obsessed with her, this person knows everything about her past as well. She has filed a complaint, but no action yet.

“Your mom is calling” I didn’t know Riya was a shouter.

“Hello Ma, yes I am fine. No, it was a mistake, I was nervous before the show.” Even her mom knows about the whole drama.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Why is Arjun shouting on this gorgeous man, oh wait that’s the ex. Prajla’s ex, Rahul.

“I heard what she said, I want to make sure.” Somebody is getting their hopes high. “And I will make sure you are kicked out from here as soon as possible.”

“Rahul” Prajla shouted, why is everybody shouting. “Prajla is there something you want to tell me, don’t be afraid of anyone” is he pointing at Arjun.

“Are you stalking me” Prajla is so straightforward. “No, I am not, why would I stalk you” I didn’t think this angle, but he could be. “Somebody is stalking me from the last two months and he was here at the show as well” Prajla is nervous and so am I. “Riya is always with you, maybe she is your stalker” is Rahul trying to put the blame on her.

“Why would I do that? I am always with her; you are the one who is trying to get her back” Riya is got some point.

“I knew it was you, you creep. Get out from here or I will give you something to remember me by” Arjun is throwing fire. “oh, really try whatever you can, but I am not a stalker and I am not scared” Rahul has got some backbone. “Guys why don’t we check Rahul’s mobile and get it over with” Riya is very smart. “No, I am not giving my mobile to anyone” Rahul is making me hate him more. What is he hiding? “Why are you hiding your mobile, if there is nothing wrong.” Of course, Arjun is jealous. “I am going to kill you” why Arjun is pulling Rahul’s collar. The scene is intense, I am afraid.

“Don’t fight, I am the stalker” who is that? Oh, that’s Prajla’s. Wait, it’s she herself.

“How? What? What?” Arjun, Riya, Rahul, and me we all have the same question.

“I wanted to create a headline; I was doing good but there was no whoop in my life.” Prajla is making sense to me. “What if the police would have caught you?” Arjun is right. “I used a mobile that I found under the bridge and location was always turned off.” It’s like a soap opera.

"But why did you panic before the show, who's email was that?" Arjun is so confused. "That I made up to create a little tension after the show". I must say that Prajla is a, well let's forget.

That was a shock to me as well. At least this helped her get 1 Million followers in less than 2 months. Rahul got nothing just some pity looks from me. Who I am? Well, that doesn’t matter. But we learned one thing today that having social media is like a BUBBLE, people enjoy it until your bubble flying high, the moment it starts falling down people start ignoring your bubble. But that's just social media you still got a life.
