I thought it was a victory for me, but I was wrong. He went silent for a few minutes and then just started the car. We drove out from the restaurant with only silence prevailing in the car, which was becoming unbearable for me. I connected my Bluetooth to the car's player, and played my playlist. The first song that played was...

samay smjhayega

Har Baat Samjhana Sada
Sambhav Nahi Radhe
Samay Samjhayega
Sambhav Nahi, Hote Kabhi
Yahan Prashano Ke Uttar Sabhi

Muskan Adhron Par Liye
Kyun Main Sada Chup Hi Raha

As this line came on, Ansh became a little stiff. I noticed his tension, and the way he was gripping the steering wheel made me realize something important: I wanted him to feel comfortable with me, not just always open. Maybe he felt he couldn't talk to me about anything, fearing I might leave him or treat him differently if he shared his past.

Lost in these thoughts, I didn't notice we had arrived at my house until the car suddenly halted. I murmured a soft goodbye to him, opened the car door, and stepped out. Ansh just looked at me as I walked away.

 After 3 steps, I glanced back and saw his car still in the same spot. He hadn't moved, still watching me. My heart ached, wishing I could bridge the silence between us, hoping for a way to show him that he could trust me with his deepest fears and secrets.

I couldn't take it anymore. I ran back to his car, flung open the passenger door, and slid in hastily. Without thinking, I grabbed his collar and kissed him deeply on the lips. The suddenness of my action made him jolt from his seat. His hands hovered near my waist, his eyes wide open, processing what had just happened. I closed my eyes, keeping my lips on his, pouring all my emotions into the kiss.

After a few seconds, his rough hands grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him as he deepened the kiss. One of my hands loosened from his collar and tangled into his hair, playing with his locks, making them even messier. His grip on my waist tightened, but it was gentle, almost protective. The kiss wasn't a passionate frenzy, but a long, lingering peck filled with unspoken words. Neither of us wanted to break the connection, savoring the touch and warmth of each other.

Eventually, the need for air forced us apart. I gasped for breath, and heard Ansh's deep, honeyed voice whisper huskily, 

"Breathe," he voiced huskily. I looked at him, and he was a hot mess with messy hair, a red face, and lips smeared with my lipstick. I reached forward and started removing the lipstick stain from the side of his lips while he just stared at me, making me feel even hotter after our passionate session.

I drove silently, my thoughts clouded with whether or not I should tell her everything. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice when she played the song. The lyrics were peacefully soothing, and then that line came on...

Kyun Main Sada Chup Hi Raha
