Love In Vengeance

CHAPTER- 12

As Vartika ran out into the busy street, time seemed to slow down. The screech of tires pierced the air as a car approached, its brakes squealing in protest. It was heart-pounding, bystanders watched in horror, fearing the worst. But then, the car came to a sudden halt just inches away from Vartika. The driver was quick to slam the brakes.

Vartika's eyes widened in shock as She realized what had just happened. She was startled and frozen in her place and started trembling.

Silence enveloped it was broken only by the Vartika's shaky breaths and the distant hum of traffic. Relief washed over the bystanders as they rushed to Vartika, offering words of comfort and assistance. The driver who was driving the car visibly shaken but grateful, stepped out of the car to ensure that She was unharmed.

Vartika wasn't in any state to register what had just happened now and what the bystanders were asking her, her loud heartbeats were the only thing she could hear, she was trembling in fear, She just saw her death, She couldn't imagine what would have happened if she got hit by the car.

With a horrified look she looked at the car which was going to hit her, she noticed the car door opened and a driver came out, she thought he would approach her but then the driver opened the door of the back seat and a man stepped outside the car.

Vartika kept looking at the man  who was coming in her direction, of course he was approaching her. She noticed his clothes, he was wearing clothes just like how her Yash mamu wear, tuxedo. He was looking like a businessman.

The man reached near her, the bystanders were accusing the driver, complaining about the carelessness, but Vartika was looking at him without saying anything.

He bent down to her level and looked at her, he noticed The marks of her dry tears on her cheeks, enough for him to get an idea that she was crying earlier, She was trembling and could see that.

"Are you alright?" He asked in his rough voice, he tried his best to be polite.

Vartika looked at him silently while sobbing, he waited for her patiently to reply but she didn't say anything so he decided to ask her again.

"I am---" that man was about to ask her again but then he stopped when Vartika shouted.

"I WAS GOING TO DIE!! AND YOU ARE ASKING IF I'M ALRIGHT, WHAT IF SOMETHING HAVE HAPPENED TO ME?" She shouted at him taking the attention of people standing there arguing with the driver who was trying to remove the crowd with the help of bodyguards.

"We are Sorry for that, lady.. My driver will apologize" The man looked at the driver who nodded and apologized.

"I don't need your Apologies!"

"What if something happened to me? What if I died? If My Mumma gets to know this, she will put you in jail, She is a Lawyer" She screamed, her eyes flared in anger, her red nose and pouty lips made her look cute but it wasn't a time to compliment.

"He will apologize to your mother also" Vartika gasped at the audacity of this man, something would have happened to her today, she couldn't decide if she should cry or not, though she was only feeling angry now at his behaviour.

"It was your fault too, he is your driver! And My mumma will not accept your apology" she told him, The man was surprised by her behaviour, the way she was speaking he was sure that she only orders around and she is her mother's princess.

"Sir You are getting late for your meeting" A man reminded him, He looked at him and then back at Vartika.

Anger rushed over her as she heard him, she is a joke or what? Just now she was about to get hit by his car and he doesn't care about it, he was unaffected.
