"Rudra is new here so obviously he will want to look around the city to know it better. As we know this city more than Anaya, we thought it would be better if we accompany you guys as it'll be better, after all, we were raised here." Dheer shamelessly used Elisa's words as his own.
"So for today, we decided to go to the New spice mall so that Rudra can also buy the things needed in the new place. And it'll not be too tiring for him this week as he's already exhausted for moving to the new city and joining the hospital as soon as he came here." Dheer continued.
Anaya wanted to show Rudra around anyway, so she agreed thinking it was a good idea.
Once everything was decided, they left for the mall.
On the way there, Rudra asked Anaya " Are you happy now that Sandy is talking to you again?." They both took Anaya's car and were the only ones in that car.
"Of course I am. He's so cute and innocent, he always falls for my traps" Anaya said chuckling as she enjoyed the view outside the window.
Rudra sighed 'It's not that he innocent, he just can't stay angry at you. I bet he must be sitting in front of the phone the whole time waiting for your text. Any threat would have worked.' He shook his head as he thought this and speeded towards the mall. Well, he was the same when it came to her. So who's he to blame.
While they were parking their car, someone almost rammed his car with theirs. Anaya and Rudra came out after parking their car and searched if there was any damage done to the car. Thankfully there was no damage.
Two people alighted from the other car and began accused them, "Don't you know how to drive?", a young-looking man said. Judging by the way he was dressed, he was most probably a rich spoiled brat. He was at fault clearly but was still trying to show-off to the girl, accompanying him by putting the blame on them. It was clear that he was trying to court her and was trying to impress her with his driving skills.
"Are you blind? Can't you see that we were about to park our car here? It was clearly your fault." Anaya felt annoyed. They clearly tried to overtake them in such a little space which could have resulted in serious damage and injuries if not for Rudra's sharp instincts.
"How was it our fault? This sissy here clearly doesn't know how to drive." The man retorted not accepting his fault.
"Who are you calling a sissy, you douchebag?" Anaya was raged.
"Obviously your boyfriend, who else? Is this how a man dresses. Don't you feel ashamed of being seen with him? Just look at his t-shirt, it's so girly" the man poked fun at Rudra's clothes as he winked at his girlfriend, showing off his manliness.
Rudra still had to unpack and the shirt he took out to wear initially got a stain when Anaya accidentally spilled her drink on him during breakfast. The first shirt he took out after that was coincidentally the one gifted by Anaya back in the college when she was angry on his birthday. So it was a bit girly as she wanted to teach him a lesson and Rudra had still kept that shirt. They were already running late so Rudra wore that, planning to buy a new one once he reached the mall as he already needed to shop for new shirts anyway.
"How dare you insult him" Anaya charged towards him as soon as that man finished his sentence but was stopped by Rudra on time.
"Okay okay. Calm down ducky don't start a fight here. We are already running late and the others are waiting for us inside." he said and then turned towards the man and said, "it was a dangerous stunt you pulled back there. Don't repeat it as it may hurt others as well as you" saying this Rudra dragged Anaya inside the mall.
As they were leaving they heard him snickered at them as he mumbled "Losers."
Anaya almost turned around but was stopped by Rudra as he dragged her inside. "Don't start a fight now. You are a doctor now, it doesn't suit your image."
"Being a doctor doesn't mean that I will stand others bullying. He was clearly at fault and still, he's acting all high and mighty. He even dared to mock you" Anaya was furious as she tried to break free.
"I get you but we are already running late and he's so not worthy of your time. So forget about him and don't let him ruin your mood. It's been a long time since we are out together, so let's just enjoy today" saying this he dragged her inside.
Anaya was still mad but she agreed as he was right. It's been a long since they had had an outing like this. So she followed him unwillingly. But she still looked back and when she saw that the couple was also heading towards the mall, a devilish glint flickered in her eyes.
