It's been an hour or so since Rudra is driving and Yuvika is sitting beside him, on the passenger seat. Usually he takes a driver with him everywhere but since the farmhouse is in the outskirts of Mumbai city, he decided to drive by himself and it was also an order from his mother, because Shalini wanted the soon-to-be wed couple to spend some time alone. After all, Rudra has taken a week off from his works, more like Shivraj forced him to do so.
Yuvika had tried to initiate a talk many times, but she was unsuccessful on each of her attempt. Rudra's sole attention was on driving and sometime giving instructions and orders to some employees- mostly his secretary and head of the HR department. And to Rudra's amusement, Yuvika wouldn't stop snorting or huffing whenever a call interrupted her from trying to make a conversation.
Yuvika, who was now very much occupied by the candy crush game on her mobile phone, jolted in her place because of the sudden halt of the car.
"What happened?" She asked, looking around, long forgotten the level she wished to conquer.
"We are here." Rudra replied.
Yuvika frowned before looking around and finally spotted the vast farm house, which looked more like an estate on Rudra's side of the window.
"Oh! Why did we stop here? The pathway seems quite long." Yuvika asked, looking at the stony pathway leading to the villa which seemed atleast four hundred metres away from the large gates, where they've stopped.
"Well, I thought we could stretch our legs a little after such a long drive." Rudra offered.
Yuvika nodded, "That's actually a good idea. Let's go, what are we waiting for then?"
"Let's go!" Rudra nodded and both of them climbed out of the car.
Whilst Rudra handed the keys to one of the guards, Yuvika took a look around and clicked some pictures with her phone. After the guard drove the car inside the gated community of the farmhouse, Yuvika and Rudra followed behind on their feet. Hands tucked inside the pockets, Rudra walked beside Yuvika, who was very busy admiring the place, oblivious of his gaze on her.
"I heard from a little birdie that you love me?" Rudra's sudden question made Yuvika halt on her path as her eyes widened and her fingers clenched around the backpacks straps.
The smile on her face vanished and she felt goosebumps arising on her body. A shiver ran down her spine as she heard the particular line coming from him. Rudra's cold voice scared her more and she couldn't guess whether he felt good or bad about this piece of information, that he got from God knows whom.
Of course it is not the first time when he got to know that someone loves him, that too romantically, but coming from his fiancé, it sure felt weird to him. But a good weird. He felt giddy and somewhat proud, as if he had conquered the world.
