while they were on their way Sanjay noticed her trying very hard not to catch him at speed-breakers Sanjay adjusted his driving mode to sleep to make her less uncomfortable and he said
" catch the side handles or the back handle there are some speed bumps ahead if you don't want to fall " his voice was as gentle as the breeze flowing towards her she was surprised as she thought of he didn't take any advantage of making her catch him and said to be comfortable. without knowing herself a small smile broke on her face.
looking at her smile fireworks started going in Sanjay's mind in order to impress her he started speaking to make her more comfortable" you carry your jacket every time with you"
"hmmm"
"it's a nice habit and actually I was suffered from headaches every time I went on a night drive "
"night drive?"
"yup I would drive at night sometimes to cool my brain and sometimes to enjoy the weather but most of them ended with leaving a headache or worse fever because of rain"
"Why did you drive in the rain than isn't it more dangerous? "
"your father taught you driving right"
"How did you know that" Krithika narrowed her eyes at him,
" my father said it while he was teaching me driving, I had to beg him every time until I was certain on my driving, while my cousin I don't know from where she got the news she came for holidays to my home asked my father to teach her driving using cute antics "
"and then" Sanjay grinned at her attention towards him, he cont,
"and then what my father started saying all nonsensical reasons like you will get hurt, that it's not fun and If you fall you will get a scar on your body, the one you said driving in rain is dangerous, at last, he was unable to resist her cute antics with big beady eyes he agreed and taught to her in a slow and careful way which is quite opposite to us when he literally scolded me and my brother every minute. " Sanjay explained to her with a scowl. as he stopped his bike since they reached her house.
laughing at his experience Krithika stood to his side with a happy face and joyful eyes, looking at Sanjay was stunned at her beautiful smile, unable to resist himself he pinched her cheeks until they became red.
as he started pinching her face Krithika's face started changing from joyful face to angry bird she swatted his hand and thanked him for dropping and left to her house without looking at him, she scolded herself at how he behaved was scolding her heart which was beating crazy because of him, rubbing her heart she took a few breaths before going inside.
looking at Krithika who hit his hand with a red face Sanjay was over the moon and was very happy, he waited until he can't see her back and left from there after some time.
as soon as Krithika entered her house she was bombarded by questions from the three worrywarts who are her dearest family, she was reminded of Riya's story and tears flew down her eyes uncontrollably,
looking at her tears the three of them flew into a rage. before they come to a nonsensical conclusion she said about Riya's story of course while saying she omitted the part of the organization. realizing that Krithika became emotional, and started comforting her.
next day, at college,
in the lecture hall, as usual, Krithika and Riya sat on the same bench and were behaving as nothing happened. as Riya was concentrating on the lecture, Krithika was deeply concentrated on how to bring her laptop to the normal stage without leaving any traces without listening to the lecture. mostly like daydreaming, she was cut-off her thoughts when felt a nudge from the side, she looked over the direction Riya pointed with her chin and was dumbfounded by the what she saw
