The Dancing Tale

Chapter 19

"Please. I am tired of listening to one direction. Change it please."

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. "

"Trouble. I swear if you didn't stop......."

"okay okay. God. You don't have to threat me like that." I surrendered. "Fine I will stop this.You are no fun at all. Sucker." I showed him my tongue and changed the song and played my Disney Playlist.

"Ahhhh." I heard him groan beside me. "Don't you have anything better than these Disney songs. I mean you are a grown 21 years old girl. How can you listen to this shit."

I smiled impishly because I was deliberately playing these songs to irritate him. His reactions are always funny. I get a kick out of my these tormenting sessions on rudra.

Right now are on our way to the farm house where his cousin's engagement ceremony is going to be held. I wasn't going before but aunty forced me because I will be alone in the apartment for 3 whole days and she doesn't want that and rudra forced me to come because he will be bored to death in between his old relatives.

His words. Not mine.

Hence now we are in the car and driving to the city which was 6 hours drive away. I am not complaining because I love car journeys.

Well any kind of journey which includes traveling.

I thought things after my and rudra's kiss would be awkward between us but nothing that sort of happened. We acted normal next day and it was just a dare so we both shrugged it off.

One of the best dare of my life though.

If I overcame from my break up than it's solely because of him and Priya and kabir. They were always there to cheer me up. I and rudra went to the Mumbai for the RIL competition where we were the 1st runner up and one of us would get to intern at RIL in Bangalore but it was yet be decided by the HR of RIL who would be between me and rudra. I was happy and proud of us that we managed to shine between the nest of the best. It was a great experience and I am not worried about the internship. If he will get it instead of me then I will be happy just as much I would have been for myself. Even a little more for him.

After all he has become one of my best friends to whom I can tell anything. The way he held me rooted to my place and stopped me from falling and been there at every step to push me, entertain me, talk with me and for many things for which I can't thank him enough. I knew I would get over my mopping period soon but he didn't let me shed any tears.

Divyansh and I are still good friends. He and kavya have decided to get engage after his graduation. When he told me that I felt nothing but a true sense of happiness as a friend for him and at that time I was sure that I was in the facade of love. We were never more than just good friends. I was trying too hard to see the things or create them which were never there. But at the end I learned a lesson of loving myself more and not pestering myself on others to feel loved.

Whatever happens, it happens for good.

"Aeee.......you idiot. Don't you dare call my music shit. You have to endure me because I am going only because you forced me. So don't start complaining now." I told him.

"I know. But I didn't know you are going to blast these Disney songs on my stereo. Only half hour with you on this journey and I am reconsidering why did I asked you to come with me in the 1st place." He said while shaking his head.

"Mission accomplished." I grinned. He scoffed. "You know smiling takes less muscle then frowning. Live a little man." I told him and started playing Doraemon's theme song and started singing along.
