"Geez! Stop eating my brain, mom. I told you that I have already said 'No' to that Shreya!" I said in an annoying tone as she was continuously coming after my life for this issue.

"It's Shwetha and it's a relief that you didn't even remember her name. So now I am completely assured that you aren't at all interested in her. Hehehe. You are really my son." She gloated as I shook my head.

"By the way, when will you start taking a driver along with you whenever you are going out?"

"Why will I, when I have my son at my beck and call?" She passed me a sweet smile and I just scoffed at her words.

"This is going to be the last time that I am letting you use me as your driver," I told her in a final say.

"You said the same thing at the last time too." She snickered while looking out of the window.

"Hey! Stop the car!!" She shouted all of a sudden as I slammed the brakes abruptly.

When I turned towards her to get an answer, I saw her attempting to get off the car as I followed her line of sight to see what had caught her attention.

But when I did so, I halted in my actions when my gaze fell onto the figure who was standing in front of her car with her phone in her hands.

She looked troubled as she was trying to call someone over the phone. When she saw that someone was approaching her, she lifted her face to look at my mom. Though startled at my mom's unexpected presence, she managed to pass her a smile.

They both soon started talking about something and I couldn't hear what that was about even when I stretched my neck but I could tell that Yuktha was resisting whatever my mom had said as she appeared to persuade her. Suddenly I saw my mom dragging her towards the car.

Seeing this, I immediately sat back in my place properly, and to not come out as a curious being, I tried my best to appear cool.

When mom came to my side and knocked on the window, gesturing me to pull it down, I did what she asked me to do and looked at her with questioning eyes.

"What's the matter?" I asked her in my usual tone.

"Her car broke down in the middle. So let's drop her at her house." Mom said and I instinctively glanced at Yuktha who was standing behind her while biting her lips.

"No, no, Aunty. It's totally fine. I have already book for a cab and he is on his way too." She said hurriedly, trying to shook off her request.

"Then let me accompany you till he arrives. It's already so late. In no way I am allowing you to stay here all alone."
