Lost Boy: The Price of Intimacy

"Today she was distracted. Today there were cracks in her act. Today I was acutely aware that I was her client rather than…rather than someone she cares about. Usually, she is quite good at it. Making you feel like she cares about you, like she thinks about you, like she likes you, like you matter. It's worth paying Rs. 50,000 for a night. Usually. But not today." When South Mumbaikar ultra-rich brat Shaurya saw a beautiful young woman in the arms of his geriatric business associate, he was more than ready to pay whatever she wanted to become one of her clients. But even with his extensive experience with debauchery and decadence, he wasn't ready for the kind of services she offered. To Shaurya's annoyance, with every passing appointment, his walls continued to be decimated into fine dust but hers remained intact no matter what he did. That is, until this appointment where she finally not only seems open but also vulnerable. As Shaurya tries to get a grip on his intense and increasingly unstable emotions, their appointment spirals into uncharted territories. With both of them psychologically sparring with each other, will they be able to make it through what quickly seems to be becoming their last appointment? "Lost Boy" is a story of the price one must pay in this cynically materialistic world for some intimacy.
