The Darker Side

Chapter-21

"Virak just tell the driver your address." Ashkira said Virak.

"Ma'am you change your destination."

Ashkira gave him a narrow look and asked Virak his address. It was Gandhi Road near Hotel Galaxy. And then she changed her destination from to Gandhi road.

After sometime she started looking outside, the foggy streets gave her a deep painful joy. She was happy about Virak that he was fine but also in pain about her parents. She was wondering that Virak would be so lucky atleast his parents won't be like her.

She was brought back to her conscious state when she heard her mobile was buzzing. She eagerly opened her bag and took out her mobile. She thought it to be her mum or dad but it was Rani aunt ( her maid). So she cut her call.

And asked Virak,"How long will it take Virak?"

"Didi (Sister) just five minutes more."

"Hmmm" And Ashkira moved her head to see Rhiya. She passed her a smile and asked Virak about his full name.

"My name is Virak Rai..." But he couldn't complete his sentence as the driver stopped him with his own question.

Driver,"Which way now?"

"Right and then take left from the Kali Mandir( Temple)." Virak replied the driver.

Rhiya totally forgot her question and started focusing on the route.

"Bas..Bas..(stop) bhaiya. We are here."
Virak said the driver with excitement.

"Didi that one is my house." He pointed out his house which was two storey building and there were some hanging flower vase in the balcony. Then passed Ashkira and Rhiya a broad smile which clearly showed how happy he was to reach his place.

"Okay Bhaiya now you can go." Rhiya to the driver.

"Paisa( Money)?" Driver asked her.
 
"Ashu give me your mobile. I've to check the money matter." And she took it from her hand.

After she was done with her calculation she handed the driver 1000 INR," Lo (take) bhaiya."

"Ye kya madam! What is this madam!. I have been with you people from that long and now you are giving me 1000 INR atleast add 500 more." The Driver requested.

" Oh hello! I would have given you but ain't you the one who was asking her repeatedly to change our destination. And on top of that you'd hit him and now you are bargaining."

Ashkira annoyingly says Rhiya to give him.

"Okay Bhaiya let's be fair. I will give you 1200 INR, it's between your and my demand." And gave him 200 hundred more. And without much argument he took the money.

"Bhaiya yaar last help. Please carry Virak to his house no! Last help." Ashkira requested that driver.

"Okay." He gave them blank reaction.

They climb out of the car and Rhiya went on to ring the doorbell meanwhile the driver carried him and Ashkira was back of him.
