His Rooh | Deep Affection

✿ One • Troublemaker ✿

"Ruhani baby, please let me drive the car. You don't even have a driving licence." The old driver pleaded to his boss's daughter.

"Girdhari uncle, don't underestimate my driving skills. I am an instant learner." Ruhani reassured the old man and accelerated the car.

"Baby, don't drive so fast. This route has a lot of traffic, you may accidentally hit a car." The old man warned her, but his warnings fell on deaf ears.

"Girdhari uncle, don't be so paranoid." Ruhani confidently looked at her Girdhari uncle who was at the verge of a heart attack seeing her amazing driving skills. Note the sarcasm.

Those five seconds. When Ruhani diverted her attention from the road to the old man were crucial. Because the car had neared a signal. The signal showed red colour. And the car, moving in front of Ruhani's car, halted on seeing the red signal. However, Ruhani didn't.

And that's when it happened. Crash!

Ruhani hit the black car.

Girdhari Lal quickly held his chest. And Ruhani looked at the car she accidentally hit.

"I had told you, Ruhani baby." Girdhari gave her accusing looks.

"I didn't know it will actually happen." She said innocently with an almost crying face.

"You don't even have a driving licence. You can get fined, or worse, arrested." Girdhari Lal went paranoid.

However, Ruhani wanted to escape the situation without putting up a fight or a drama in the middle of a road.

"Girdhari uncle, cool down. Listen to me carefully. You are my driver, that you actually are. You are having a heart attack, which actually seems true. So hold your chest and let me handle the situation. Okay?"

"Okay." For once Girdhari Lal trusted Ruhani's non-existent skills. Because she was the best at faking tears.

And soon the driver of the black car came out in full mood to fight and create a scene. He pulled up his sleeves while reaching their car. But before he could start uttering colourful words, Ruhani began her drama.

"Bhaiya, I am really sorry for the damage. But my driver uncle is having a heart attack. I was in a hurry and accidentally hit your car. Here, take this money for the damage," She handed him some notes, "And let us go."

Girdhari Lal decided to join the drama as well.

"Beta, only a driver can understand a driver's pain. Please let us go. Or I'll die before watching the faces of my grandchildren." He said it with so much pain that the other driver had tears in his eyes.

"No, no, uncle ji. Madam, you please take him to hospital." The driver requested.

"Thank you." Both, Ruhani and Girdhari Lal smiled at the driver who went back to his car while praying, "God, give such caring employers to everyone."

And when he was gone. Ruhani and Girdhari Lal had a good laugh while driving back home.

"Ruhani baby, you are a troublemaker. I am not going to let you drive this car ever again."

"No problem, Girdhari uncle. But don't tell anyone about this little accident. Tell them some drunkard is responsible for it." She pleaded to the old man with a cute white moustache.

"Okay, I'll make up a story." He agreed.

"Chaanu Di!" Ruhani entered her cousin's bedroom wearing a beautiful pink dress, putting an end to whatever arguments her cousins, Chahana and Angad, were having.
