Arranged Marriage

~Bonfire~

"Are you serious? We're definitely not going on that."

Mr Oberoi grunted.

I have to hold his elbow with both my hand pull him back. With so much efforts. Huff.

"Oh yes, we are. Now shush and help me out." The cold glare was all I could feel. And also, he didn't move. Without seeing back I knew it.

"Mrs Oberoi"

"No" I shivered, and stopped in my tracks to going out of door. Turning, I raised my eyebrow. "See, If you don't want, than I'm not forcing you, I'm much more capable of going on alone. But know there will be no end to you hearing 'backing out your words'."

Some more glaring and grunting.

Meanwhile I grinned. "Afterall I won."

"Yeah. By cheating!"

He snapped. And till now I haven't seen him losing his cool like this.

Is this because it's about to midnight and we have to go? Or is it because of Bullet, on which we have to go?

I mused some more. He was standing not at all concerned by cold, but his stern gaze was on behind me. On bullet? It was at that moment, it finally clicked.

"You haven't sat on Bullet?" His eyes snapped to me and yes, I got my answer. He wasn't showing but was  uncomfortable if you see carefully his fist. They were tightened. "Are you afraid of it, Mr Oberoi?"

"I'm not afraid of anything."

"So?" I shrugged.

He forced out. "I... haven't learnt riding a bike, yet."

I shook my head, I mean his ego was this big. He can't ever say 'I don't know'.

"Oh, so what? I know how to ride it."

"You know?" He raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

I passed him a proud grin. "One of my favourite activity it is. And don't be afraid, I have licence and a good experience."

He still looked not okay with the situation. "How do you even manage to get one?"

I shrugged my shoulder. "I knew I would win and even if that wasn't the case. I'm not going without.... Mr. Oberoi I'm not revealing the full plan. We're really getting out of time. Let's go."

I walked forward. Immediately taking the two helmet off the lock. The bullet. It was a beauty to behold. God knows how much I had to research for this to available at this hour that too on a good discount.

I had already planned this while we were trekking. But it wasn't supposed to happen now. If it wasn't the sadness the house carried for him, for us.

But you're never too ready for an adventure.

When I didn't feel him around me, I saw him, still standing on the road. Searching something on phone. In this dark night he almost looked like a ghost. A handsome ghost. Ugh

"Mr Oberoi?" I called loud enough for him to hear but not Khanna whose guest house lights were already off. "What are you looking for?"

He looked up. "A safe option."

I cocked my head towards him. "Do you mean it would be unsafe with me?"

His blank gaze at me and his  silence made me swear under my breath.

"Mr Oberoi. I swear if you don't come this instant, I'm leaving."

He didn't think I was serious. And boy, I totally was. I have been too adventurous for my life time that now I don't wait but rather go take opportunity.
