Pune
It was around 10 pm.
Siddharth was driving listening to songs in his earphones.
While Roshni dozed off.
"Je main nahi tere kol
Te phir kaun hoyega
Rooh meri tadpegi Jaani
Dil vi royega" Siddharth was humming his favorite song.
He slowly stopped the car.
"Roshni...Roshni wake up" he patted her cheeks,
"sone do...5 minutes"
"Roshni wake up, restaurant will get closed"
"hmm"
"Roshni yaar uto"
"5 minutesss peaseeee" she mumbled,
"tch the hotel is gonna close uto"
"let it"
"phew..........yeh toh utne ke naam nahi leri, what can I do? hmm.........Parcel" he muttered.
He got of the car.
He entered the hotel,
"um excuse me"
"hi, welcome sir"
"yeah hi, is parcel available?" he asked the receptionist,
"yes sir"
"that's good, now give me two veg shawarmas, two veg noodles, and two mosambis with ice"
"sir if I'm not wrong there is only one veg noodles, aap ek non veg lenghe?"
"uh no, then give one veg noodles"
"okay sir" he repeated the order, "that's it"
"yeah, how much time will it take"
"15 minutes sir"
"okay, I'll be in my car"
"okay sir"
He got into the car and saw Roshni was still fast asleep.
"yeh bina" he smiled seeing how cutely she sleeping,
"sote waqt bhi kamaal lagri"
"Siddhaaarthhhh" she mumbled,
"Roshni"
"Siddharth"
"you woke up"
"hmmm"
"pagal ho chuki hai yeh" he chuckled,
"i love you"
"what" he was stunned,
"hmm"
"Roshni" he shook her,
"hmm"
"what did you say?"
"hmm"
"Roshni wake up na please"
"5 minutessss"
"Roshni...did she really mean that?" he thought.
After 20 minutes.
Siddharth got the parcel, paid the bill and sat in the car.
"Roshni ab toh uto"
"Siddharth lemme sleep"
"Roshni, i've bought the dinner"
"dekho if you are not getting up then i'll eat your favorite veg noodles"
"Roshni its awesome, yummm, pura khatam kardungi main"
"Siddharth pleasee"
"get up"
"fineeee" she eventually got up.
"wash your face" he said while giving her a bottle of water.
She washed her face and sat in her seat.
"ye lo tumara shawarma" he handed hers while chewing onto his shawarma.
"mmm, this is awesome" she relished the taste, "wow"
He ate smiling seeing Roshni who was enjoying and appreciating the shawarma like a small kid.
He giggled.
"kya" she asked,
"tum abhi bhi bachi hi ho"
"kyun"
He pointed to the mayonnaise applied on her lips.
He slowly brought his hand towards her lips.
As he touched her lips tremors rand down her spine.
"thanks"
"welcome"
Both then finished it in silence.
"BURP, excuse me" Siddharth said,
She laughed at him.
"kya maine excuse me bola"
"I didn't say anything" she laughed.
Seeing her laugh made him laugh too.
"where is my noodles" she pouted,
"tum sorahi thi tab"
"toh, I have ears, now give me my noodles"
"ours"
She stared hearing his statement,
"actually they had only one veg noodles so"
"par won't you eat your favorite chicken noodles"
"no, as you are here and I don't want to eat any non veg with you and they aren't my favorite anymore"
"why?"
"simply" he shrugged his shoulders.
They then begin to eat.
And they ended up chewing opposite ends of the same noodle.
[spaghetti kiss😉 ]
They stare at each other while still chewing the noodle.
And they nibble their way for the kiss.
They come closer.
And closer.
And closer.
And closer
And closer.
And closer.
And BAM.
Siddharth hits his face in the steering wheel.
"Siddharth" Roshni shouted slightly,
"are you okay" she giggled,
"huh, haan" he got back up and sat properly.
Roshni started to laugh.
"konse duniyaa main the tum"
Both laugh at the situation.
After they finish the noodles,
"uh Roshni"
"yes"
"can you drive?"
"me drive"
"yes"
"why kya hua"
"actually I have something to work for tomorrows meeting so"
"uh" she began to think
"you remember driving na?" he asked making them go a few years back to London.
Flashback.
"I know that budhu" she hit him slightly.
"oye"
"okay fine then what else?"
"that's it, do you wanna try?"
"umm...yes but i'm scared"
"kuch nahi hoga i'm there with you na"
"okay"
Both changed their seats.
"first adjust your seat and the mirrors"
"done"
"is the gear neutral"
'yes it is"
[guys she is gonna drive an automatic car]
"now push down the brake"
"done"
"start the car"
She inserted the key into the keyhole and starts the car.
"change the gear"
"okay" she changed the gear from neutral to drive.
"now slowly release the brake"
Roshni released the brake in a fraction of seconds meaning too fast.
So the car started to move a bit fast.
As she got bit scared she pushed the brake with a force making Siddharth and Roshni hit the dashboard and the steering wheel respectively.
"ouch",
She gets up rubbing her forehead.
He gets up and looks at her,
"abhi bola tha release the brake slowly"
"i'm sorry"
"that's okay, happens, now release the brake slowly" he said emphasizing the word 'slowly'.
She then slowly released the brake and the car moved slowly.
"Roshni don't be nervous, breathe" he calmed her down.
She slowly accelerated the car.
"OMG i'm driving" she said,
"yes now turn slightly to your left"
So she moved to her left making her back face him.
"uffo pagal, I meant the car"
"oh sorry"
"pagal" he hit her arm,
"oye don't disturb me"
"okay madam"
She was driving well.
Then suddenly a dog ran in front of them making her push the brake hard.
Both move front and hit their foreheads again.
"sorry sorry"
"Roshni you have to relax and you have to press the brake slowly in order to avoid jerks understand"
"yeah"
"now start again"
After a while.
Roshni drove the car well, with few jerks but good for the first time.
"that was awesome Roshni, now you need to park"
"hmm"
"change the gear to reverse"
"done"
"now slowly apply pressure on the gas pedal"
"hmm"
"go on....and more....good....slowly....good....keep going" he was guiding her.
"that's awesome"
BANG
She hit the car on the wall behind them.
"shit" she muttered.
"Roshnii, bola tha na maine slowly tch"
Both un buckle the seat belts and get off the car quickly.
They go back to check on what had happen.
"shit, shit" Siddharth said as he witness the small bump with few scratches in his car.
"oh shit what have I done" Roshni muttered,
"i'm sorry Siddharth"
"Siddharth..i'm sorry....Siddharth..."
"what" anger was evident in his voice,
"Siddharth look at me na"
"tch, what" he looked at her,
"i'm sorry sorry sorry" she held both her ears with a cute pout melting his anger.
"if you make faces like this then how will I stay angry with you" he smiled,
"then don't stay angry na"
"pagal"
"Siddharth i'm really sorry yaar, I was scared for this only, I know you love this car so much that even seeing a small scratch you would get tensed, i'm really sorry" she apologized,
"that's okay Roshni, yes I was angry, but that's fine, this was bound to happen one day, that's okay" he said caressing the bump.
"Siddharth i'm sorry"
"arre kitni baar bolchuki yun mein, dosti main no sorry no thank you"
"crisis mein bhi tum apni flirting nahi chodo ghe na" she chuckled making him snicker.
"nahi, genes main hai, toh main kya karoon"
"oye aunty uncle ko blame mat kar" she hit him,
"you don't know Roshni, they flirt a lot, that too in front of me and sometimes you also, ugh"
"yeah I remember, but what's in it to make a disgust full face, that type of romance is awesome, I wish I can get something like that" she said looking at him, meaning she wants him in her life.
At first it didn't strike but then he looked at her,
"what do you mean by you want something like that?"
"matlab I want that type of romance"
"oh"
"isko samaj nahi ata kya" she mumbled,
"kuch kahaa tumne"
"nahi toh"
"okay, challe bohot late hogai"
"hmm okay".
Both then walked in hand in hand without realizing each others feeling for the other.
Flashback Ends.
"yaad hai na? do you drive?" he asked,
"haan yaad hai, and yes I drive"
"good" he smiled.
They then changed their seats.
Mahabaleshwar
Roshni was driving and Siddharth was engrossed in his laptop.
She was humming her favorite Lana Del Rey songs.
Suddenly Siddharth phone rang and he picked it,
"hello sir....all good sir....yes sir i'm on my way.....what?......sir but that's.......sir how is possible?.....yes sir i'm coming with my wife only.......okay sir we'll manage......bye sir" he sighed,
"kya hua" she asked with a worried face.
"stop the car na"
"why?"
"I said stop the car"
She then stopped the car slowly,
"ugh, meeting postpone ho chuki hai yaar"
"what?"
"yes, and that's not the complete bad news, tomorrow's meeting has postponed to the next day that is this Monday instead of Sunday, so the booking in the hotel in Chennai is also changed, so basically we have no place to stay in Chennai as I don't have that many contacts there"
"hmm...so now what"
"that's the same thing which i'm thinking".
Silence filled the car.
"Siddharth"
"hmm" he looked at her,
"don't you have a branch of Khurana Enterprises in Bangalore"
"yes we do have but why..."
"we can stay there na for the day and Chennai is just approximately 6 to 7 hours drive from Bangalore"
"yeah, why didn't it strike my mind"
"so great minds don't think alike" she joked making him laugh.
"can we start?" she asked,
"yeah, i'll tell dad and make arrangements for our stay in Bangalore"
"okay, so Bangalore here we come" she forwarded her hand towards.
He smiled looking her hand remembering the old times, he then tapped his hand on her,
"get ready to bear us for a day" he smiled.
Both laughed their hearts out.
They then started the ride for Bangalore.
