Roshni

"What should we do now Anav Ji", I asked him as I heard wolves howling at a distance.

"I don't know. There is no network in my phone", He said waving his phone in front of me. I sighed keeping my head on his shoulder.

"I feel tired", I told him looking at the dark sky.

"Are you scared of darkness?", He asked me. I shook my head in no.

"Not when someone is there with me. Only when I am alone that too a little bit", I told him to which he nodded running his fingers through my hair.

"It is going to rain soon", He said looking at the sky.

"I am glad you are with me otherwise I would have been terrified", I told him looking at my phone which still showed no network.

"You know I heard this road is haunted", He suddenly said. I hit his shoulder.

"Don't start. I would start crying otherwise", I told him as he laughed pulling me near him again.

"People say a woman in white saree roams on this road with her long white hair open singing twinkle twinkle little star", He said as I glared at him.

"Twinkle Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are?"

I shouted listening to the sound covering my ears. I felt someone poking my elbow. I looked up to see him pointing at my phone.

It was my phone's alarm.

"You do have weird taste in music", he pointed out.

"It's time for me to go to bed", I told him switching off the alarm.

"People set alarm to get up and here you are setting alarms to go to bed. How nice Roshni?", He mocked me. I twisted my lips throwing my phone in the back seat.

"I am hungry", I told him.

"Wait", He said as he reached back and pulled out a bag full of snacks.

"Why are carrying this?", I asked him raising my eyebrow.

"You want to eat or not?", He asked. I shook my head before picking up a packet of chips. 

"I never share my chips with anyone. Not even Aadya. You are lucky", He said taking the packet from me.

"How nice? Aren't I, your other half? It's your responsibility to take care of me", I told him.

"Did somebody told you? You are a very thankless person", He told me. I rolled my eyes at him taking some chips from him.

"Thanks my foot. You didn't even say sorry once", I told him.

"I did say sorry a million times but you chose to ignore it", He said which I ignored again leaning back on my seat.

"See you did that again", He pointed out.

"I am tired. What should I do?", I asked him closing my eyes.

"Let me help", He said doing some adjustment in the seat so I can lie back.

"Are we stuck here today?", I asked him.

"I guess so", He said covering me with a blanket.

"Why do you carry these things with you?", I asked him pointing at the blanket as he lied back covering himself as well.

"I used to spend a lot of time in the office before our wedding. So I need to be ready. You never know when I have to stay at night as well so keep food and blanket stored. Just in case", He explained to which I nodded.
