Erica had kept her call with Aadvik on speaker since every other person of the house gathered around the dining table during lunch. It was 1:25 p.m. and Aadvik was returning from Dwarka.

Solo road trips can be boring so he had called his family and as it was the weekend they had been sticking around the phone for the past hour.

"Beta, how long will it take you to reach home already?" Aadvik's mom, Shraddha asked. The speaker inside his car wasn't heard properly because he honked, making his mom repeat her question. 

"One or two hours maybe. The highway is getting fixed so it might take some time." He replied.

" Drive slowly Aadi, there's no need to rush. " Niyati managed to speak while she was munching on her not so favourite daal chawal

He chuckled and continued ~
"It will take me 4 days to reach home if I slow down."

"But she is right, Aadvik, don't drive too fast." Erica supported her. 

Aadvik hummed, too lost and focused to speak.

Loud honking sound reverberated from the speaker of the phone, followed by the infamous naagin tune of the truck. 

"Don't they have a better sound, this Naagin one is getting too old now." 

Laughter filled the atmosphere at Aadvik's question.
Sure those sounds were annoying as hell. 

Niyati picked up her plate and turned towards the kitchen to keep it in the sink. As she came back, she heard Aadvik yelling at someone.
"Are you blind or what?" He groaned.

"These people don't even follow traffic rules properly, bloody hell.. driving on the opposite side." He taunted.

"Let it be Aadvik, focus on the road" Vijay, Niyati's father said. Niyati came and sat beside Erica. 

A loud honk and swish of the car tires heard which was followed by a loud smashing sound was heard. 

Everyone fell silent and it was not much later that the call disconnected. It took some time for everyone to process what had just happened. Niyati was the first one to pick up the phone and call Aadvik.
