"I love this feeling of cold air whipping on my cheeks, hair flying in all directions, cheeks red from the cold air, this would be really peaceful if a certain someone would just stop complaining from the back." Myra muttered under her breath and turned her neck towards Dhruv.

"Are you mad! It's so cold here, close the damn window Menon! Ahh! It's so cold." Dhruv said shivering, he not even able to speak properly.

Myra looked at the backside to see Dhruv. He had wrapped himself in two mufflers, and was clutching his jacket tightly and was wearing two caps, the driver lent him one after taking pity on him. His whole face was red.

"You're such an old man. Live a little." Myra said in a cheerful voice, maybe too cheerful for Dhruv and well this didn't go down too well with him. The truck driver enjoyed this chattering and led out a little laugh.

Dhruv shifted on his seat and moved a little forward kept his arm firmly on the seat headset and lowered his mouth till he was near Myra's ear and said very quietly and coldly that a shiver ran down Myra's spine.

"Listen Menon, I would really appreciate if you would close the damn window and you know I'm having a cold right now. You know why? You guessed it right because of you and Naina so now will you cooperate?"

Myra gulped and managed to say, " You know this sounds like an order." Myra turned her head towards Dhruv. And she was about to say 'If you ask in a sweet manner maybe I will' but Dhruv's overly sweet smile and his clenched fist told her not to argue. She still guilty about what happened last night.

Myra quickly closed the window, Dhruv quickly went back to his previous position and sighed in relief.

"With that expression, he could be cast in a horror film as the main ghost." Myra muttered quietly.

"HUH?! My dear, did you say anything?" Dhruv said with the same ghostly expression. Myra shook her head.

Rolling his eyes Dhruv looked at this watch to see what time it was, "Excuse me sir? When are we going to reach?"

"We're going to reach, you see the shops ahead. That's were we are going." The driver pointed his finger towards the shops ahead. Finally, the mini-van came to a halt. Dhruv removed all the excess clothing he was wearing due to the open window.

"Okay let's go Dhruv." Myra said jumping out of the mini-van and walked towards the shop ahead.

"Here are these packed juices." Dhruv pointed towards the coke and soft drinks.

After getting the juices in carton. Both of them had one carton to carry ,Myra put the carton down and was about take out her phone when she suddenly remembered.

"Dhruv, you said you wanted to buy something? Did you buy it? I didn't see you buy anything though". Myra looked at him in question.

"Ah?" Now Dhruv was at a loss of words. He didn't want to buy anything, he just wanted to come with Myra. Because if he had not, the niggling feeling in chest wouldn't have left him the whole day.

He started looking through the shelfs and containers in the shop to buy something, anything! But he didn't know, what would be so urgent, to make him come with all the way till here.

"Hurry up! What are you looking for? Myra asked impatiently. She was worried they wouldn't reach back in time.

"Yes, yes I am finding it, give me a moment will you?" Dhruv said as he still found nothing.

"YES!! I found it." He said waving a small candies packet.

"Seriously?!" Myra was dumbfounded at this.
