Crush fever

you're the one for me

Karan parked the scooty in a vibrant market, and just as they were about to get off, a group of boys on a car crashed into the scooty.
Instead of apologizing, they got off their car with a high attitude.
"Hey, idiot! Who the hell do you think you are to park your scooty here? Because of your damn scooty, my car headlight is broken!" one of them shouted.

Karan remained calm but firm. "There's no mistake from my side, you're the ones who crashed into my scooty. You should be apologizing for doing this."

Meanwhile, Dhruthi's blood was boiling with anger, feeling like she wanted to hit each and every one of them who wanted to pick a fight with Karan.

"Came here, hero! Telling us what we should be doing! Stop blaming us and pay for the damage!" another boy shouted.

Dhruthi got off the scooty, her eyes blazing with anger. "That's it, I've had enough of your nonsense!" she exclaimed, her voice low and even.

Karan tried to calm her down, but Dhruthi was beyond reason.

She strode up to the boy who'd been doing the talking, her hands on her hips."Listen, you idiot," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "If you'd been paying attention, you'd have seen us parked here. It's not our fault you're a reckless driver."

The boy snarled, taking a step closer to Dhruthi. "How dare you speak to me like that?"
Karan quickly intervened, stepping off the scooty and positioning himself between Dhruthi and the boy. "Hey, back off," Karan warned, his voice firm.

Dhruthi says "Bava, you wait" and points to the guys and says, showing her phone, "Look at this". The boys' expressions changed, and a sense of fear started to creep in. "Now tell me, whose mistake is this? And who should pay whom?" says Dhruthi frustratedly.

The boys immediately apologized to Karan and started asking him how much they had to pay for the damage.

Karan didn't understand a single thing and told them that apologizing was enough, and there was no need to pay money.

Dhruthi interrupted Karan, saying, "Why shouldn't they pay? They made the mistake, and they have to pay for it. If not, it will be like encouraging them."

They transferred the amount mentioned by Dhruthi into Karan's account and left from there. Karan asked Dhruthi, "What did you show them?"

"I was just taking a snap from the scooty, and in that time, they hit our scooty, and everything was recorded," Dhruthi replied. "At first, I thought of leaving them, but when they started to pick a fight with you, I couldn't stop myself."

Karan had never seen this side of Dhruthi before. He had always thought of her as innocent and funny, but here she stood out as much more mature than him.

Karan had always wanted someone who was mature enough to handle everything, and he had thought that girls around his age would be perfect, with the same mature mindset as him. But Dhruthi proved him wrong now. Karan started to feel differently about Dhruthi, seeing her in a new light.

Karan's curiosity got the better of him, and he asked Dhruthi, "What if that video wasn't there? What would you have done then?"Dhruthi's confident smile and unwavering gaze left Karan spellbound.

"Even if the video wasn't there, I would have taken some pictures and noted the direction of the vehicles going. That's also sufficient proof to show we're right. When there's no mistake from our side, why should we fear?"

Karan's heart skipped a beat as he listened to Dhruthi's words. Her fearlessness, quick thinking, and unwavering confidence left him in awe.

This moment was enough for Dhruthi to carve a special place in Karan's heart. He felt drawn to her strength and determination, and his admiration for her grew exponentially.
