The drive back should have been quiet.

Should have been simple.

Should have been the kind where two people eat too much and fall into food comas.

But these two? Peace was not designed for them.

Ikshita sat in the passenger seat with her arms crossed so tightly even oxygen couldn't pass.

Her jaw was clenched.
Her lips were pressed into a thin line.
Her back was ramrod straight, refusing even to lean on the seat.

Silent.
Unmoving.
A one-woman protest.

Aakarsh glanced at her for the fifth time.

"Aren't you going to play any music?" he asked innocently.

Silence.

Not even a blink.

She just crossed her arms and turned away looking outside, to the slowl evening of the highway, stars slowly coming out of the ccloud and peeping at the newly made birds.

Aakarsh turned to see her through the rear view mirror but when found her uninterested, his brows furrowed.

They came across a toll where the car stopped for a second.

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel looking around.

"Shh are we in the prayer meeting of being defeated??" he teased her back, making her anger double.

More silence.

She was fuming with anger and of course the hotness of the spiciness. She was feeling till her stomach.

She has lived all her life in america where people aren't comfortable with this much spiciness. Neither has she got a good level of spicy tolerance. She looks feisty and bold but inner her is soft little and sensitive.

And today aakarsh was slowly seeing this version of her.

He smirked. So THAT'S how she wanted to play.

"Okay. Ignore me. I'll still win."

She still didn't react.

But her eye twitched.

He saw it.

Oh, he saw it and grinned like a devil reborn.

She is reacting, she is okaie, in his mind.

10 minutes later

The car was filled with the soft hum of Punjabi music.

Of course our soon-to-be whipped king played it, as the silence was suddenly making him feel heavy on his chest. He has never felt this before.

Before He used to rule the silence , love loneliness. But now suddenly someone's ignorance was making his head spin across all the dimensions.

And the one extremely annoyed princess was fidgeting with her fingers planning ways where she can defeat him as well. Maybe in blades. She has a way to deal with blades the same way he has with guns.

But she hates gun, she despises them due to her past. So the blades. She was thinking of the ways she could defeat him with blade battle.and how that combust should be arranged.
