.........................................................................

Sonakshi kept her head as she couldnt stand with his strong gaze. Something in her mind told her to be confident and just flaunt about her beauty and walk off of him with the sway, he doesn't deserve to have effects on her. But rest of her 90% brain completely freaked out with consciousness towards her look. Has she applied alot of make-up? Did she overdo it, as required for the dinner? Is he not liking her, or found something really funny about it and so he is gazing continously? Is she looking weird in suit-salwar?
She practically started panicking inside as well as outside, her chunni wasnt still pinned perfectly with her suit and so it was disturbing and coming on the way all the time. Her hands haphazardly tried to fix it but then her hair were coming in between and her dangles, they were getting stuck in the hair. Everything just seemed like messing around, it's all his fault. It's all his bloody fault, why he had to stay and even stare at her like that. She hates how much control he has on her, unknowingly. She tried to calm her countenance as much as she can. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her hand over her shoulder beneath which the dupatta was having its own drama. Her body freezed and heart started racing like a horse.

She didn't pay attention when he stepped towards her, always engrossed in herself so much. She couldnt even lookup at him. He gently pressed her hand, in order to calm her down, and then let her hand hang down while he took hold of her dupatta and flipped her suit a little to get ahold of the safety pin holding both pieces of cloth.
His hands touched her bra-strap, she closed her eyes, out of embarassment? I dont know. He carefully opened the pin and then fixed the dupatta on right place, looking behind her for if it was lying on perfect length back there, and then closed it. There, he did it!
She just wanted to look up at him and find one good reason to not panick or go crazy thinking all those stupid things but couldn't gather up the courage.
He held her chin and lifted it up. She was amazed by his move, i must say. She looks at him and he smiles, a really warm and soothing smile. She felt her heart relaxed and she smiled back, a little on the corners.

Before they could just go with their romance any further, Dinesh interrupted them in between and Dev immediately left her hand and walked away to Dinesh.
Dev took out his keys and forwarded it to Dinesh who denied.

Dinesh:- are bhau, apan cycle se aage kabhi badha hi nhi, gadi Wadi Apne Ko nhi aati, aap chalao na, Mai rasta batata jounga.

{ Are bhau, I've never gone further a cycle, I don't know how to drive a car. You do it, I'll guide you}

Dev:- oh koi ni koi ni. Aaiye. {Oh it's ok, come}

Dev sat on the driver's seat while sonakshi was about to go back when Dinesh opened the front door for her and she hesitated but just to respect Dinesh's move of chivalry, she sat in.
Dev huffed a sigh. Of relief? You never know.

The two planners sat in on the back and Dev filled life to the engine..
Vroooommm.....

Me:- that sound is for bikes
Also me:- meri gadi, meri Marzi!

Dev put the radio on and going through some channels he stopped at an English song DONT GIVE UP ON ME.
He was kind of hoping Sonakshi's mood might light up with the song. And thankfully, it worked. She kinda started swaying very little in herself and mouthing the song. And then suddenly the chorus hit and she screamed.

I'm not....giving up..
I'm not givin up givin up no not yettt....
Even when I'm down to my last breath...
Even when they say there's nothing left...
So don't give up on
