They somehow escaped the officers from the dhaba and sped away again.raavi was a bit tensed at the situation.the mirchi pakodas and the stress made her feel uneasy.
Shiva noticed this.
" Yeh radio achanak se bajna kyu band ho Gaya" he said.
" Mai Baat karu to problem, Mai chup rahu tab bhi tujhe problem hai.tu na pehle yeh decide Karle ki mujhe kya Karna Chahiye" she said.
And she was back.
After driving for a while, raavi again called out to shiva and made the pinky hand gesture sheepishly.
" Phirse? Abhi to tune mirchi ke pakode thuse the.phir chup chup Kar meri cold drinks bhi khatam Kar Di." Shiva said
" Are nahi.iss Baar na Sahi ishaara Kar rahi hu.koi confusion Nahi hai.woh Maine bahut paani aur cold drinks pi liya na.to..." she said making a puppy face.
Shiva sighed.what was he supposed to do with this girl?
Shiva checked his phone, the nearest petrol pump was almost an hour away.
" Thoda ruk...agla petrol pump ek ghante baad ayega" he said.
" Ek ghanta! " Raavi said looking at him with big big eyes.
" Mai itni Der wait Nahi Kar sakti.shiva yehi Kahi side Mai rok dena " she said.
" Yahan? Jhadiyon Mai? Bilkul bhi nahi.shyam hone ko hai aur mujhe yeh safe Nahi Lagta.aur waise bhi kya pata tere chipkali aur saap dost tera wait Kar rahe honge wahan." He said.
" Yahan mujhe itni zor se lagi hai aur ise chipkali aur saanp ki Padi hai." Raavi muttered under her breath.
Shiva increased his speed to reach early.raavi was fidgeting with her dupatta.shiva was stealing glances at her.she looked cute talking to herself.
Shiva reached the petrol pump in almost half the time predicted.
" Jaake aa" he said.
" Akele jau? " Raavi said unsure.
" Ae maamikibehenkibeti...Tu kya washroom pure baraat ko Saath leke jati hai? " He said.
Raavi made a face and went out of the car.
Shiva looked at her unsure and then went out of the car himself.
Raavi noticed shiva coming out and smiled.
He waited for her outside till she came out.
They went to the car again and started the drive.
She started feeling uneasy again and cursed the mirchi ke pakodas.
" Shiva ....gaadi rok " she Said holding her mouth.
Shiva applied the brakes and she opened the car door and rushed out.
She vomited on the side of the road.
Shiva came out holding a water bottle.he caressed her back comforting her and made her drink the water.
They went back to the car and settled down.
" Thk hai Tu ? " He asked genuinely concerned
She nodded her head.shiva started the car. Driving a bit slower this time.
Raavi wanted to rest so she tried to pushback her seat but it was stuck.she sighed and tried to sleep putting her head on the window missing the comfy arms of her bhootnath.
A hump came and raavi' s head bumped in the window.she scrunched her nose and started rubbing her head.
Shiva noticed this and held her head bringing her closer to him.
" Sojaa araam se...jaise Sona hai " he said.
Raavi immediately held his arms and snuggled closer to him.
" Tu bimar hai isliye chipakne de Raha hu...samjhi?" He said defending his actions.
Raavi just smiled and enjoyed her new found comfort.
Shiva drove stealing glances at her peacefully sleeping form.
What are these new found feelings wrecking havoc in his heart?
He was never affected by her closeness.they had always invaded each other' s personal space.but now something has changed.he was scared of her proximity.yes , shiva pandya was scared of how his body reacted to his chipkali's presence.
He tried to focus on the road ahead.
Mangal Lakshmi
