The Runaways Love

PART 8

Manav's POV

It's been almost an hour and she has not yet come back! God knows with whom is is talking to so much! I was about to get up and go to call her when I saw her entering through the compartment door and then on seeing her I sat back relaxed
"where we're you?" I asked her
"none of your business Mister" she retorted sharply and sat on her seat in front of me and went back on her business of staring out of the window. Anyways who cares what she does and what she doesn't and I too sat deep in my thoughts thinking about my sudden decision of going to bangalore! Why did I choose this place out of all the places! I was myself so confused and messed up so the best decision was to sleep and I moved to my berth to get a short nap though I just woke up few hours back, but who cares! Sleep doesn't need a perfect time and when you are messed up sleep is the best solution! Sleep and forget everything!

"Manav... Manav... Manav... " I heard my name being called, I was in deep sleep and just hummed but again the same sound kept on disturbing me which made me put the pillow on my ears and then I felt something cold on me making me wake up with a jerk and that's when I realised I was drenched in water, I looked around and so Miss Hitler standing with an empty water bottle
"what the hell is this! Why did you put water on me! " I screamt at her
" I was trying to wake you up bit u weren't even listening so this was the best option I could think of" she replied coolly as if this was a normal routine to wake people up
"and would you mind to explain why did you wake me up in such a brutal manner, I mean what was the urgency! Can't you even let me sleep in peace! " I screamt back as i was annoyed as hell as she disturbed my most loved sleep!!
I found her giving me a blank look and she replied with an equal anger" uh! People say the truth only! One should not help anyone! Like never! I woke you up as the lunch was given and thought you would not like having a cold and tasteless lunch but you know what you don't deserve only any kind of help! Instead of being thankful you are screaming at me! Go back to sleep! Why do I even care! "
I looked at her and wondered why isn't she in a theatre group
" I think you should join a theatre group as you do really nice drama" I told her and fell back laughing whereas she just gave me a deadly look and went back to her seat and started unsealing her lunch packets.
I too sat up and with the towel dried my hairs but my T shirt was drenched and I was feeling cold due to the air conditioner in the compartment.
"it's better you change or else you will fall sick " I heard her saying softly while she concentrated on opening her food packets. " hmm" I replied and went to the washroom to get changed.

Naina's POV

I think I should have not woken up in this way but who cares! He deserves this for scaring me last night! I asked him to get changed and was genuinely worried as he might just fall sick due to the wet Tshirt and the cold atmosphere of our compartment and surprisingly without any sarcastic come back he went to get changed. I was going to start with my lunch but thought of waiting for him, I don't know why but just thought so.
After few minutes he came back and I really hate myself of saying so but he was looking smoking hot in that black Tshirt and blue faded jeans, the tight Tshirt was perfectly showing his well toned body with the muscles on his shoulders bulging out! I have to agree he is super hot!
"done checking me out? " I heard him say with a smirk on his face
Urgg! I hate myself for this! Why do I have to stare at him! But I can't lose so easily and said" uh!seen better! " he smiled and sat on his seat and started opening his food packets and then looked at me and asked," why haven't you started eating? "
" uhm nothing... Just... Was just not feeling like having it right now " I said, of course I can't let him know I was waiting for him!
" cool so if you don't want to eat give it to me I will eat it, you know I don't like wasting food" he said and moved forward to grab my tray, I slapped on his hands and said " who said you I don't want to eat! I am going to eat! Yeah I feel like eating it now! Keep your eyes off my food!" he laughed and continued with his work of opening his packets.
Then finally we started our lunch, non of us spoke for a while when he said " luckily you ran from your wedding or else your poor husband had to bear you the rest of his life and is atleast saved from waking up drenched in water early in the morning itself" and burst out laughing and for the first time I too couldn't stop myself from smiling and gave a small laugh. After getting done with our lunch God knows what got into him and he like a gentleman volunteered to keep my tray along with his near the dustbin outside. The small time spend with him made me realise he wasn't what he shows outside! He shows he is rough and tough but from inside he is an nice man, I don't know why but I was liking our fights, our sarcastic comments to each other and then as well as taking care of each other. Well I think I am over thinking I guess after this train journey we will be back to strangers,though that though hurt me a bit.... How much ever my brain disagrees but my heart doesn't want this journey to end because I was enjoying and liking every bit of it!
" so why did you run away from your wedding? " he asked me settling back on the seat but this time he sat beside me.
I turned my neck to him and replied dreamily ," because I didn't want to her married, who gets married at the age of 21, I want to enjoy life, travel, explore, know myself, do something in life, build my own identity, fall in love, have a heartbreak too, play, scream, do things without the fear of getting judged, but here my parents were forcing me to get married to some stranger only because he is rich and will keep me happy " I said sadly and looked at him, and continued" money only doesn't keep everyone happy! If the person to whom I was getting married to didn't love me what's the use of being and living together, money alone cannot fulfill the emotional bond between two individuals! It's the care, love they show for each other which makes them come closer, but nowadays who understands that! I seriously have no problem in spending my life with a man with less wealth but he should be wealthy enough in giving me love and care and understand me! That's what my greed Is... " I finished and looked at him and found him looking in my eyes and my eyes to found their way to his. His eyes held a different emotion, it was as deep as the ocean and at that moment I was willing to get drowned in those dark brown oceanic eyes... I felt something different... I felt peace and the feeling was indescribable.
