Chapter 2 (unedited)
"Love hits you harder when you are not searching for it"
Riya was driving thinking where to take him. She cannot take him home because her society was under full cctv surveillance and the cops may catch hold of him if she takes him there.
"What are you thinking?" Reyansh asked looking at her.
"What? Nothing!" She said coming out her bubble.
"Come on, say it, what's bothering you ?"
"Where to take you ?" She asked feeling apologetic.
He simply smiled and said," Don't worry , take me to my farmhouse. I'll be safe there."
"Are you sure?" She asked getting a bit worried.
He smiled and nodded.
"You looking cute when you smile " she said winking at him.
He just rolled his eyes and looked at her.
"What ? Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked blushing.
He didn't answer still looking at her.
"What? I'm not able to concentrate!" She said.
"Why not? Is my hotness making you nervous?" He said smirking.
"Ahh! So cocky aren't you?"
Then she took her water bottle, opened it.
"No! Don't even think about it!" He said warning her.
She simply nodded with an evil smile.
He tried to snatch the bottle from her hand but it that process, all water spilled over them.
"So did your hotness go away?" She laughed.
He laughed along with her.
"I like you" he said.
She suddenly froze for a moment looking at him.
"I like you" he said with all seriousness.
She didn't reply and kept driving. It was an awkward silence. She didn't know what to say , she liked him back but wasn't it too soon to say it? She thought.
Yes , she had crushes in her school, colleges but this was different. It felt different."Don't worry. I said what I felt, I don't want to have regrets later in life." He said comforting her.
She just gave a faint smile looking at him and drove In silence.
They reached his farmhouse after an hour. It was in the outskirts of the town.
Riya parked her car outside the gate and they both went inside.
She looked the house in wonder. It was huge house.
"Wow" she said in amusement.
"I know. We loved being here. We used to come here during my vacation. We used to play polo , go horse riding." He Said looking the house.
"What happened?" Riya asked feeling curious.
"Everything vanished" he said and proceeded, " What do you feel ? Why have I killed?"
"You can't kill anyone and even if you did either you were trying to save someone or it was by mistake." She said looking into his eyes.
He chuckled and said," How can you be so sure?"
"I don't know. My hearts says that." She Said looking at the stars above.
He smiled And then smirked," So what else does your heart say? Does it say I'm too hot?"
She glared at him and started hitting him playfully.
"You won't change!"
"Nope ! Never!" He said popping his tongue out.
She still glared at him trying hard not to smile.
"My father was R.M Singhania, the industrialist. I was 15 when my mom died of cancer. No doctor could save her even though we were rich. That taught me Money cannot buy life. My father was everything then. My mother and my father. My everything. But still I felt lonely inside. I was the only child, I had cousins but we didn't meet much. My uncle wanted all our property but he had Many bad habits, he used to get drunk and create nuisance, did drugs and what not. My father kicked him out of our house. Then after 5 years he came back, killed my father and came to kill me but I woke up and defended myself but he had stabbed me in my left arm. He killed himself so that the police will think I killed my father and him. Before I could do anything the police came. My uncle had called them. I didn't know what to do, so I tried to run but the police saw me and came behind me and then I met you. The moment I saw you, I just forgot everything because I knew I was in love with you."
His eyes were watery, she stood there silent feeling sad for him.He took her hand, kissed it gently and Said," You saved my life. Thank you so much for believing this criminal."
"You're crazy!" She said trying hard not to express her feelings. She still thought it was too soon. She felt the spark when he touched her but ignored it thinking it was hormones.
"You stole my heart! You're a criminal!" He Said winking at her.
She just rolled her eyes and smiled.
Then they both entered the house.
