Shrishti Reborn

Chapter 66. Fluffy Moments Part III

The bus continued on the route and Shrishti watched the view outside. She could not help but feel conscious about the person sitting next to her though. She was very aware of every part of her body which was touching his.

'You ok?', Raghav asked.

She nodded, feeling nervous and exhilarated. She glanced at him only to finding him looking at her with a pleasant expression on his face.

'What?', she asked.

He shook his head. 'Never expected you to travel in bus with me.'

She shrugged. 'What is bus? I will even walk with you anywhere.'

He raised a brow. 'Really?'

She smiled softly. 'Wherever you go, however you go, I won't mind going.'

He blinked twice as if surprised by her response. 'You trust me so much?'

'Trust? I meant the ride would be pleasant as long as you are with me. I don't care what vehicle we use to get there.'

Raghav shook his head. 'You said wherever you go....?'

'Oh.', she chuckled. 'Raghav, by now you should know that I trust you with my life.'

'You do?'

She nodded softly. 'I do.'

He looked down with a smile, looking shy before he mumbled, 'I feel the same about you.' He looked up with a solemn expression on his face. 'I trust you too, with my life...... and my heart.'

Her eyes widened and she felt her cheeks burn while her stomach did a somersault. This man! Always flirting! And worst was that he did not even realise that he was flirting! The man honestly meant it! She pouted.

'What is wrong?'

'Nothing.' She looked away from him. If she continued to talk to him, he would fully charm her with his words and her heart will explode due to his sincere feelings. With a huff, Shrishti ignored him.

After few minutes, Shrishti felt something heavy on her shoulder. She frowned and turned to check. Her brows went up when she noticed Raghav's head on her shoulder. Had he fallen asleep? She slapped her hands over her mouth before she made a noise. The urge to squeal and coo was severe as the man kept sleeping. She could not help but stare at him. He looked so peaceful and calm. He already exuded calm and peace anytime and every time. But while asleep, it felt like nothing bothered him. She could have spent the whole ride staring at him. But of course, right then the bus gave a jump and Raghav woke up with a jerk. She looked away, not wanting to be caught red handed staring at him.

'I am sorry.', she heard him mumble. 'I fell asleep.'

'It is ok.', she whispered back. They fell silent but she could not help it. The curiosity burned her.

She turned towards him. 'Rough night?'

'Huh?' He looked at her with bleary eyes and she clenched her hands into fists to avoid pinching his cheeks. How adorable!

'You are sleeping in the bus! Did you not sleep well as night?', she asked gently.

He chuckled and shook his head. 'Nothing like that. It's the bus. The humdrum of the bus and the swaying motion always puts me to sleep. Same with trains.'

'Oh.', she filed the information inside her mind. Next time, she had the chance to travel far with Raghav, she had to make sure they took bus or train for it. She was not going to let go of any chance to have Raghav put his head on her shoulder!

Just then the route began to feel familiar.

'Are we near?', she asked.

'Hmm. We have to get down after two stops.', he replied.
