Priyanka tugs on her luggage and walks along a deserted road. She hasn’t made it to Shimla yet, and her car just broke down. It’s in the middle of the night, and the battery in her phone is nearly dead.

The hilly terrain doesn’t give much access to the network either, she’d be lying if she says she isn’t scared.

Why do bad things keep happening to her? Yeah All is Well. Right now it’s cold, it’s dark, except when there are vehicles passing by.

It’s okay she assures herself, but her mind screams it's not.

What does she do now? 

Just then a bike zooms by, full throttle, causing her scarf to fly into her face. Her curly hair has become more unruly; she brushes them back, silently cursing the biker. There’s the same noise again, this time lighter. And she turns her gaze to the street to find the same biker, now returning to where she is.

The bike skids to a halt before her, and the biker takes off the helmet. It’s too dark to see his face, but an incoming car’s high beam illuminates his face.

He’s quite handsome. And when he smiles, he looks breathtaking.

“Fas gayi yahan madam? May I help…”

His smile looks gentlemanly, so is his tone. But can she trust this guy?

Priyanka is not sure. She keeps her guard up, and just walks past him.

“Arey... madam ji. I can drop you in Shimla. It’s about two hours from here. Suniye, it’s best for you if you come with me…”

Priyanka keeps walking, not bothering to turn back. He is so handsome. She mustn’t trust him because he’s handsome.

“Arey! Wait up!”

The man catches up with her easily since he’s got the bike. He’s riding slowly next to her now.
