" Phone switched off because of low battery ." She said worriedly .
" But I know her house ." She said again .

I facepalmed . She could have told me earlier .

" You should have told me earlier . Where ? " I said
" It's in Kochi . We need to go back . It'll take only 30 minutes to there ." I looked at her

" Hm ." I hummed in response .

It was first time she replied me without shuttering .

Did I make her feel comfortable ? But why do I care about her comfortablility ?

Ishitaa POV

Why is he suddenly behaving odd ? He asked me if I can call otherwise he would order me like he owns me .

" Don't sleep , when we entered in Kochi tell me the directions ." He said as I was about lean back .

" A-Ahem , y-yes ." I said as I remembered the incident .

" By the way , how do you know that we've to go to her home ?" He asked me .

" A-Actually , Amma has only one friend in Kerala . She's here in Kochi ." I said as I looked at my lap .

" Take this mobile and call to your mom that we're on our way . Only 30 seconds to talk ." He said which really made me raise my eyebrow and look at him .

His phone was like other phones . He was behaving like this phone is of gold and I'll steal it .

" O-Ohk ." I said as I dialed mom's number as he gave me his phone unlocked .

" Hello , Amma . It's me , Ishitaa . We're on our way to Ashwini masi (aunt)." I said quickly as my mom quickly picked up the phone .

" Ok . Good . I'll tell you everything when you reach there . And why didn't you take my phone ? Are you okay ? Do you feel comfortable ? I'm sorry Ishu but actually I needed to do this . Your Aunt and Dadi (grandmother from father's side) . And I couldn't keep you and her in same house otherwise there will be lots of controversies and you can get free time there so don't worry . Enjoy there , okay ? " She asked me with concern in her voice .

" Actually , it switched off due to low battery . And don't worry I'm fine . I'll handle ." I said as I convinced her .
" Okay , I'll call you when I'll reach there ." I said as I hung the call .

" You talked more than 30 seconds ." He said as I gave him his phone back .

" S-Sorry." I didn't want to apologise but still manners..... What can I do to my weak state whenever he talks like he's the one who controls me ?

Soon we reached kochi .

" Now take right until you see a orange flag ." He nodded as he kept on driving .

" Again right and don't turn until I say ." He followed me . I felt so dominating .

" Now left ." He turned the steering wheel .

" And stop infront of that red colour gate ." I said as I saw her house .
And after good 10 minutes after entering Kochi we reached Ashwini masi's house .

We got off from car .

" Ishu ?" I heard Uncle calling me . He was Ashwini Masi's husband .

" Uncle !" I ran to him and hugged him .

" How are you ? You didn't visit me lately . I am so upset about it !" He said showing his fake anger which I found funny .

" Sorry . From now on I'll try to visit more ." I said but soon realised that there will be no ' from now on ' once I get married .
