The car ran on the road, the trees running back by the roadside. Since the time Arnav and I have gotten inside the car, we haven't spoken a thing. He's been busy on his phone speaking to someone while typing something on the laptop.
And my mind also isn't empty.
My mind kept going back to the way Dhruv was staring at me back in the mansion when I was talking to Rohan. We may have ended in a bad situation years ago but now, we're good and comfortable around each other. I had thought he'd hate me but nothing like that happened and somehow, I'm relieved.
His blank stare was burning holes in me but I couldn't look at him. We haven't even talked for even once after Teej. He's now back to normal and has resumed his work. It might be so hard to manage things after waking up from a coma after 4 years.
Only if I had been born in a normal family, a normal love story and a small but peaceful family. Every person, regardless of their status, has ups and downs in their lives but still, these rich people's mess is something too horrible to get rid of easily. We don't even know how much this mess is spread.
I sighed.
"Contact Ajay Singh Rathore", I heard him speaking over the call. I froze on my place, my eyes wide.
A huge wave of terror and anticipation of the upcoming mess froze me on my place. Cold fear ran through my veins at the single thought of seeing him finding out everything, made a sudden fear grip my heart. I shivered slightly as my throat went dry.
He cut the call before letting his head fall back on the backrest, his eyes closed, hands fisted on his thighs. The popping up of his nerves on his forehead, hands and neck proved nothing else but anger. He was for sure furious and I don't know if he'd blast on me if I called out for him. But I need to.
"Nav", I called his out softly, placing my right palm on his fisted left one.
He raised up his head to look at me and asked, "What? Are you okay?", his voice deep.
The way his eyes still looked dark intimidated me.
"Yes I am. I just wanted to know why you're angry", I asked slowly, remembering to keep my tone smooth to avoid suspicion.
He sighed and closed his eyes again before resting his head on the backrest, "It's not concerning. You can rest assured."
His answer for sure irritated me because I wanted to know what he found out. I can't let Mr. Singh Rathore get caught by Arnav because if he gets, then how much cruel the furious Arnav can be?
I didn't say anything anymore but kept staring at his face while still lost in my thoughts.
He again opened his eyes only to stare at me blankly. Few moments passed in our blank staring competition until he broke it with his words, "Did you find about Ms. Dravid Huang?"
