DESTINY'S PLAY

KNOWING EACH OTHER

         The next day Mohan was discharged from the hospital and alloted to bed rest for a month. Abhi didn't miss any chance in seeing his Lucky charm.

        In the evening Lucky came out to the bus stop after her shift and a car parked in front of her. The window glass rolled down revealing Abhi in casuals.

        "Hello! Lu..Doctor" Abhi corrected himself making her give a curt nod and a small smile as he continued "Are you going home? Let me drop you"

        "No thanks..I'll go by bus" she politely refused but she knew he was trying to get her attention since she saw him in the hospital and deep down she secretly liked it but want to be hard on him.

        "It's already nine and it seems like it's going to rain. I don't want you go get sick. Please" Abhi requested cutely to which she looked at her watch and sighed getting into the passenger seat.

        Two minutes into their drive it started pouring heavily. "See that's why you should listen to me I always think of your good" Abhi said starting their conversation.

        "Ha...By the way what are you doing here?" she asked.

        "Umm... I'm here for my car wash" Abhi lied through his teeth.

        "Oh! But it's useless now since it's raining" Lucky commented.

         "Atleast you are in my car" Abhi mumbled to himself.

         "What?" Lucky asked.

          "We've reached" Abhi said parking the car in front of her hostel.

           She looked at her place and faced him with a glare " How do you know I lived here? You were stalking me"

            "Umm... Yes but not in a creepy way and there isn't a car wash here" Abhi said.

            "Why?" Lucky asked. Abhi was visibly struggling with his words and then suddenly sighed and faced her.

             "I..I don't know. I just don't know. Okay. I don't know what this is or why I feel like this since I saw you in the temple. I couldn't help but think only about you and look at me now I'm even struggling with my words like a kid caught stealing chocolates. But I want this feeling to be with me. I want you to be with me and I promise I won't lie to you in future" Abhi said in one breath.
