Khamoshi se matlab nahi
Matlab baaton se hai
Din toh guzar hi jaega
Masla raaton se hai

Riddhima sighed first looking at the window and then at her wrist watch. It's 8:30 already and she has a class at 9.

Damn this car!

Everything was going normal since she had woken up. She thought maybe this could be a normal day but how can it be possible?

My life and normal both are poles apart.

"The tyre is flat. " Her father in law stated coming on her window side.

"I am getting late Papa. I won't even get a cab at this instant." She sulked

"I called the other driver. He will be here but it will take at least 15 minutes.

" No no it's okay. I can't wait for 15 minutes. A bus stop is near. I will go there. " She said getting out of the car in a hurry.

"Okay then I will come with you. " He said locking the car.

"Papa you don't need to. "

"It's okay. Let's go. "  Riddhima shook her head. Slowly she is getting on terms with how adamant he can be on times.

They I only had taken few steps when a car halted next to them, making then stick to their places. They look first at each other and then at the car curiously.

The window lowered revealing Vansh. Riddhima rolled her eyes.

Can my day be any more entertaining?

"What happened Papa? " He asked and She patiently waited while her Father in law explained everything to him.

"Get inside the car. I will drop you. " She heard his voice.

I don't need his help.

"Papa I am getting late. I should go. " Riddhima said without looking at the car more specifically at certain someone.

Ajay sighed, he absolutely is aware of the fragility of their relationship. He never want to force anything on Riddhima but this is about being professional.

"Riddhima beta you should never mess with your professional life doesn't matter what ever is going on in your personal life. You know what I am trying to say, right? " He lightly patted on her back and gave her an assuring  smile and she knows what that exactly means.

She took calculated steps toward his car, stopped for a second, closed her eyes and sighed before opening the passenger door.

Mujhe ignore karne ki shakti dena bhagwaan.

As the car took up speed, she tilted her head up to the left deliberately looking out of the window not giving him any attention. She can feel his eyes looking out for her from time to time but she didn't  dare to look back.

The journey was short and tongue-tied. Vansh applied brakes in front of her college. Riddhima  took off her seat belt and was about to move out when his voice made her stop all of a sudden.
