Karan opened the umbrella and went out of the vanity. He had finished his shoot late at night and he had sent Om back home because of the weather forcast. Om had to go to his place and Karan didn't want him to stay back just for him and get stuck in the rain. Parvez was also on a leave but he didn't mind. He loved to drive.

The wind was too strong and he was holding the umbrella with great difficulty.

He went to the parking and was about to opened the door of his car when he saw her standing at a distance completely drenched with an umbrella folded in her hand.

"What the...." He shook his head. This girl was crazy. Who doesn't open umbrella and stands in rain?

He walked to her , the splashes of the rain making him go half drenched.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked making a face.

"Fishing...." She said casually.

"Huh?" He frowned.

"Waiting for my cab...." She rolled her eyes.

"What happened to your car?" He asked. There was no harm in making one decent conversation.

"Servicing...." She frowned. Why was this monster of a guy trying to make a conversation with her?what was he upto?

"Come i'll drop you....and why the hell haven't you opened the umbrella?" He asked amused.

"I don't know how to open umbrella....and no thanks....i don't want to get kidnapped...."

He rolled his eyes.

"Even if you were the last girl on earth i wouldn't kidnap you...." He said bitterly.

"So you will kidnap other girls?what a criminal minded monster...." She said in shock.

"Shup up Ms.Wrong Parking....you are Prakash uncle's daughter....i love and respect him too much to leave his daughter stranded here in rain and thunder storm okay?" He said seriously. "Come with me...."

"No...." She said with attitude.

And at that very moment there was a thunder strike nearby and the sound made her jump in fear.

"Ganapati Bappa Ganapati Bappa Ganapati Bappa...." She held his sleeves tight and shut her eyes.

He looked at her amused.

She opened her eyes and looked at him. He looked at her and then at his sleeves which he was clutching.

"Sorry...." She moved back.

"Unbelievable...." He muttered. "Come quickly...."

She didn't argue anymore. Three cabs had already cancelled her last moment and she knew somewhere deep down he won't be that bad because she knew his family.

He opened the door for her and she sat inside.

He sat inside and started the car.

"Drive slow....don't kill me...." She mocked.

"Sorry baby...." He said with a pout.

"Excuse me....how dare you call me baby...." She shouted at him.

"Tchk tchk....you keep dreaming naughty things about me....but sorry to burst your bubble...." And with that he poked her upper arm. "Pop...."

"Just...." She was about to say something but he cut her off.

"I called my car baby....you freaking naagin bani chudail made my baby wet....not in the way i make you in your dreams....literally....with the rain water in your clothes...." He said with a smirk.

"Tumhari toh fantasy hai nuh ki saari ladkiya tumhe leke waise dreams dekhe?" She chuckled sarcastically. "Sorry to burst your bubble...." And she poked his upper arm. "Pop....you come in my nightmares...."

"So i do come?" He chuckled.

"Shiiii....such a cheap guy...." She said in disgust.

"Oyee naagin bani chudail....i meant normal come....dirty mind...." He said making an irritated face.

He stopped the car as there was a traffic jam due to the water logging.

They were struck in the jam for about half an hour that too in silence.

"When will this clear up?" She asked in irritation.

"Do i look like a GPS satellite to you?or may be an astrologer?" He looked at her and asked amused.

"I am feeling cold....my clothes are wet and your AC is in full blast...." She said slowly. He shut the the Ac outlet of her side.

"But it will get suffocating without AC....the windows are rolled up....should we roll it down?" She asked slowly.

"Do you want articles deciding our kid's elementary school?" He asked sarcastically. "And it is raining like anything....we cannot roll down the windows...."

"Wear this...." He opened his jacket and gave it to her.

"No thanks...." She muttered.

"Take it....you will fall sick and we cannot even switch of the AC....wear this....show your attitude some other time...." He rolled his eyes.

"Nobody gave you honey when you were born right?" She asked and wore the jacket.

"As in?" He frowned.

"When you were born nobody made you have honey....that is why you have a bitter mouth...." She said angrily.

"When did we kiss for you to know how i taste?" He asked frowning.

"Shut up you Monster Kundrra...."she said angrily.

For the first time she could see his face change. Everytime they fought he would have an irritated or an angry face. Sometime even sarcastic or a smirk. But never what he had now. His face changed into hurt. Why would her words hurt him?they were used to saying nasty things to each other.

"No come back?" She asked not liking how he went silent. He cannot be silent. He always had answers. What was wrong with him.

"Shut up Tejasswi Prakash....just shut up....sometimes....just sometimes please have a heart...." He said bitterly.

Tejasswi Prakash?no Ms.Wrong Parking?no Naagin bani chudail? She looked at him frowning. His eyes were red. And she could see it glistening also. She just didn't know why.

He looked out of the window and gulped the lump in his throat. No he cannot be weak. Not in front of this girl for sure.
