Solace of love

3✨

It's been a month since Shidya and Vihaan became friends. They share their contacts with each other.

Shidya loves it when he talks and makes her laugh at his silly talks. They haven't met each other since that accident event but he will call her once in a while to know about her wellbeing.

He is being so sweet and kind. 

Shidya smiles at her thoughts and packs some Besan Ladoos for him as they are meeting today at the restaurant. 

Keeping it in her bag, she turned to go when she saw little Dhriti crawling towards her.

Grinning at the little girl, Shidya picks her up and lovingly kisses her soft cheeks earning a cute grin from her.

“Mera pyara bachcha…." She said in a baby voice.

Little girl giggled and hugged her, hiding her face in her neck.

Shidya chuckled softly and caressed her back before making her sit on the mat where she was playing with her toys.

“I have to go, bachcha. We will play in the evening after I come back, okay…" Saying she kisses her head and waves at her before leaving for her college.

“I will send the detail of project soon," Shidya said to her batchmate while coming out of her college gate.

“Bye…" saying she turn ahead but suddenly her step halt in surprise as her eyes fell on Vihaan who is standing leaning against his car.

He smile at her and wave at her making her come out of shock.

She walk to him as he stand straight.

“You here?" She ask him not expecting him to be here.

"Yeah, come to pick you up. I hope you remember about our date,” he told her.

She narrow her eyes at him and said,

“Date?" 

"Yeah, friendly date. Now come, let go,” he said with a shrug, giving her a smile and open the passenger door for her.

She looks around to see if people are looking at them before turning to Vihaan. He gesture her get on the car holding the car door open for her.

She smile slightly and sat inside. As she settled in the car, he close the door and walk around to take driver seat.

“How are you?" Vihaan asks her while driving the car.

“I am good. You?" She softly while fidgeting with her bag strap.

Vihaan smiles seeing her fingers playing with the tassel hanging on her bag.

“I am also fine," he said.

Silence surrounds them as he focuses on driving while Shidya tries to calm her nervousness. 

This is the first time she is with a man in a car. It's new for her. It's not like she is uncomfortable with him. Instead she feels safe with him. There is something about him that makes her feel warmth in her heart. 

She turned her gaze towards him and smiled a little while looking at his handsome face. 

He is just so good looking.

She thought and instantly her cheeks turned red. She looked away to hide her blush and bit her lower lips feeling her heart racing suddenly.

After a while, he stopped the car in front of a cafe. 

“let's go,..." He said looking at her.

Shidya nodded and came out of the car with him.

She looks at the cafe but suddenly she startled feeling a warm hand holding her palm.
