The Darker Side

Chapter-17

"Bhaiya Koi gana laga do please(play some music)." Ashkira asked her driver.

Without looking at his mobile, giving his full attention in his driving he played one of the songs from his playlist, Jaanib.

She started staring outside but couldn't see anything as it was raining heavily. She could only see approaching stray lights and some passing cars.
The driver had to lower down the speed from 80kmh to 60kmh and then to 50kmh.
After awhile, her eyes goes to the wiper moving back and forth but failed to compete with the rain that was falling way too heavily exactly the way she failed to wipe her problems out from her life.

After that she closed her eyes and started humming with the song. Within a second she was lost into her thoughts and her her various problems. She was comparing her life with Rhiya's life and the way she was celebrating her winter at a full fledged manner and on the other hand it was her winter, like the typical Indian serials which are mainly concerned with melodrama.
From the last few weeks, her morning started with new dramas, new stories and ended with fighting, shouting at one another, something which had diminished her trust and love towards her mum and dad. She was expecting her coming days to be like that only.  She was also wondering that a day will come when that trust and love will disappear out from her heart and mind.

*BANG*

Their was a sudden screeching noise which came out from the tyres due to sudden brake.
Ashkira came back to her attention and screamed horridly," kya hua Bhaiya (What happened)", grabbing her seatbelt tightly to balance herself.

Without replying her, he opens his door hurriedly and went onto look the matter.

She too opens her seat belt climb out of the car and walks slowly, she was scared, she was not prepared to face any worse situation. She knew the driver had hit somebody.
