I moved out of the Church after offering my Sunday prayer and praying for everything to be alright nothing like what had been happening since past few days. It was the first time that I came alone or else Navya or mama, papa used to accompany me. I wanted to take a walk to the church and reminisce all that had been going on in my life. It was only 10 minutes away and the whether was too lovely to have a self-talk. I moved to the garden in Church's vicinity and sat on one of the benches enjoying the cloudy weather and cool breeze waving my hair in all possible directions. I snuggled more into my jacket to stop the cold but didn't even think of leaving for a warm and cosy room.
It was peace.
"Nandini." I head a soft whisper from behind and cursed for a second as I really wanted this time alone. I turned around with irritation written all over my face to see Aryaman standing in his casuals unlike other days.
"Aryaman." I smiled at him and he without waiting for a second sat next to me.
"What are you doing here alone..?" He questioned and looked like someone who cared.
"Sunday Prayer." I said and waited for him to explain his reason of arrival. I didn't feel much energy to speak.
"Same." He said and I raised an eyebrow as it was the last thing that I would believe.
Well. I never thought that he would be believing in all this or at least be regular.
"Don't give me that look Nandu. I strongly believe in the strength of prayers." He said clearing my doubts and I realized that he called me Nandu.
When did we become this much frank ?
He was in his same happy mood and I realized that I used to be the same a few days back before some unwanted people stepped in Shimla.
"You don't mind if I call you Nandu right ?" He asked and I shook my head smiling at his liveliness.
"You don't look well. Are you sick.?" He asked and I finally thought to reply rather than moving my head.
"I am absolutely fine. Just a little tired." I said trying not to sound least interested in his company.
"Okay. So lets have coffee together.!?" He suggested out of nowhere and I immediately decided to say no. We never talked for more than five minutes and no one from my family knew him.
"I am afraid that I will have to leave now. My parents must be waiting for me." I said getting up to end the comversation.
"Nandu I am not going to kidnap you trust me." I felt hurt for showing how much I distrusted him. I trusted him, he seemed a good guy but going out just in a couple of meetings didn't sound alright.
"That's not what I meant, Aryaman." I sounded polite.
"But you have hurt me and as a sorry you have to accept this coffee with me." My mouth hung open at his remark. I never apologised.
"I was not going to apologise." I said folding my arms across my chest.
"Don't worry I will definitely fogive you if you come with me."
"But I..."
"Thank you Nandu. Lets go." I looked at his back as he ran to his car happy like a baby. I was shocked and wanted to laugh at how easily he ditched my questions. I felt angry after getting ignored and moved out. I started moving towards home and soon he followed me in his car honking to the fullest.
"Stop it." I shouted stomping my foot on the path.
"Get in and I will stop." He started again with his honking and caught attention of a few people on the road. I abused him silently and sat in the passenger's seat shutting the door of his expensive audi with a loudest thud as a punishment.
