Hrudayam

Scared?

Siya's pov

He stared at me with a smile on his lips, whereas I, was still in shock. How casually he asked me such things?!

Of course, I never kissed anyone, because I am already engaged to Salil, a nice guy chosen by my dad. Though I don't love him. But I like him a little bit...maybe not enough to call him my lover?!

'Oh god! What the hell I am thinking?!'

"Close your mouth! I was just Kidding!" He winked at me.

I broke the eye contact with him, but still, I could feel his glare at me.

"Dear, did you eat your dinner?!" Yash Uncle asked.

"Yes, uncle." I smiled.

"And what about him?!" I looked at Adi, he was sleeping on his seat for two hrs.

"I don't know uncle," I said.

"Okay, let him sleep, if he feels hungry he will eat. Anyway you go to sleep, okay? We will reach there in 5 hrs."

"Okay uncle, good night!" I replied.
"Good night, dear." He nodded.

'He hasn't eaten anything since afternoon. Should I wake him up?'

Mom always told me not to sleep empty stomach, it's not good. I walked and slowly shook him by his shoulder. He opened his eyes like he was in shock before he could scream I put my hand on his mouth and hushed him.

"Shhhh...it's me! Siya!"

"Are you trying to kill me in sleep?!" He said.

"No, I am not that petty! Anyway...I was waking you up because....you should eat something. It's not good for health to sleep empty stomach." I handed him a food container.

"Thank you..." His hand brushed my mine when he took the container.

"Did you made it?" He asked.

"Yes, is it not good?"

"Oh, no-no. It's amazing. My dad loves your food...the other day—you gave me the lunch box..he loved it."

"And you?!" I asked immediately.

He looked at me like he was reading me. "Me too." He smiled.

"But I don't like when sometimes act tough and defensive!" He interjected.

"Hey! I don't act tough. I am tough! And I am not defensive!" I crossed my hands over my chest.

"Here you go again!" He chuckled.

"By the way, I am sorry for pinching your arm!"

"What?! Can you repeat that?!" He asked in a mocking tone.

"I said I am sorry!!"

"I can't believe this. Can you please say this one more time I want to record this golden moment on my phone?!" He took his phone out.

"Good night! Mr boring!" I said covering my face with my dupatta and closed my eyes.

Aditya's pov

'Revenge plan cancel!' I smiled to myself.

"Uncle! We are almost there. Make sure you don't forget anything." I said.

"Okay beta, make sure you wake up Siya."
"Sure uncle." I nodded and walked to her seat.

"Siya!!!!" I yelled in her ear.
