Together.. Till Death Do Us Apart.

Chapter-14

Mausam POV:

"I'll drop you." Karan said.

"I came with Shruti." I tried to refuse.

"She's enjoying her time with Akshay. Let them." He said looking towards them.

I know he's right but, I am not in my right state of mind... "Okhay.." I agreed to him.

"Hey guys, did you hear that?" Sid said.

"Hear what?" Kusum asked.

"After 3 weeks, the farewell party for the seniors is going to take place here. And It will be a prom."

"Wow! It's surely a news." Kusum said excitedly.

I smiled at them. May be till then I'll know more people here, as I am going to continue my classes from this Monday.

"We need to practice if we want to be the king and queen of prom dance." Kusum said smiling to Sid.

"When did I say that?" Sid asked with a quizzical look.

"But I said na. I want to do that."

"Okay princess. I am in for you."

Karan cleared his throat. "We should leave then." He said.

"Why so early?" Akshay asked coming towards us with Shruti hand in hand.

"Mausam is not feeling well" Karan said to him.

"Why? What's wrong Sumi?" Shruti asked.

"Nothing really. I am just feeling tired."

"Okay then. Let's go."

"Wait, where are you going?" Karan asked Shruti.

"With Mausam. She came with me so I'll drop her." She said frowning.

"You enjoy the party with him. I'll drop her. Besides we are due to some talk." He said the last line smirking.

"Oohh... Okay then bye. Cal me when you get home." Shruti said with a big ooohhh and a mischievous smile.

"Bye everyone." I said.

"Bye"
"See you on Monday."
"Be careful."
"I know you will but my brother instincts are high for her. Take good care of her." Everyone said there byes but the last one was from Akshay and my heart swelled with his words. Shruti smiled at him.

The love the care I always craved for from my own brother Akshay was giving me that.

"Bye" I waved at them smiling.

We sat in Karan's Audi. When we last met we were children. I don't if he's a good driver or not. But the experience of sitting in his car's front passenger seat was high. I looked to him finding him staring at me with some strange emotions.

"What?" I asked him

"It feels likes am dreaming."

"Me too. I never had thought we'll meet again like this."

"I missed you really."

"I missed us."

I don't know why I said us but it was true. I always missed our time together. I always played the song we use to sing and play together. It was never me or you. It was always us or we. He said nothing more and started driving. He drives his car smoothly. Just like he drive me smoothly crazy! Oh God! What am I thinking.

"Where to ?"

"Huh?"

"I know you are tired but i don't know your address baby. You have to tell me."

Baby! He called me baby!

Karan freaking called me baby!

"Say that again." what??? Did I say that. My cheeks got flushed with my own reply more than his comment.

"Say what?"

"Umm.. Nothing. Take left" I said controlling my emotions. He smirked.

After taking some left and right and left and right and left oh... Forget that . we reached home.

"Okay.. Then see you on Monday."

"Why do I feel like you are shooing me away?"

"Ugh no no. Its..."

"I want to meet your parents. They must have missed me too."

"Actually. No one is at home."

"Ohh.. Okay I'll meet them sometime later."

"Sure."

"Wait. Are you afraid of being with me alone?" He asked directly looking at my eyes. I remain silent. Because I don't know what to say. Am u afraid? Yes. But am I afraid of him? Hell no! But then what am I afraid of??

"Don't you trust me Mausam?" His voice was strained and dangerously low.

"No... No. You're taking it wrong.
Its just... After seeing you after a long time my emotions are everywhere. I don't know what I am feeling Karan. I trust you. Its just.. I think... Am just overwhelmed." I told him the truth. Well it was not complete truth though. How can I tell him that I don't trust myself.

"Hmm. Okay. See you later then." He said smiling.

"Yeah. Bye."

I climbed off of his car. And started slowly walking towards my house. When he called me again.

"I don't have your no!" He said scratching his neck sheepishly. He was looking so adorable blushing. I smiled at him. We then exchanged numbers and he drove off and I entered my home. I went straight to my room. It sucked all my energy to climb up the stairs and my leg was hurting badly. I thought of taking a bath but I was smelling like his cologne because of our tight hug. I smiled and hugged myself. I washed my face combed my hairs took a pain killer to and went straight to bed. I was happy in my little bubble of imagination. And slowly drifted to sleep.
