Chapter 12 The Car Ride

D’s PoV

My dad, mom and sisters hopped in the car they came in. Rishi was getting his car out. He had a shoulder bag with him. His dress and laptop may be! The horror is he didn’t call for the driver. He is going to drive. And I’m going to go alone with him. The drive is 45minutes remember?!

I informed Chinna anna about going to my parent's place. I waved bye to uncle and Ravi and I got in the car. My dad started already and he was typing our address on google maps. I felt anxious! He is in no good mood. He has this dark aura now, that says 'don’t try me now'. I wonder what happened to him all of a sudden? He was smiling. ok, not smiling but smirking at me when I gave him the juice. He was talking happily to my dad and now he is all grumpy.

He started driving and I wanted to talk to him. I think Shanu is right. I should tell him our past and make him remember me. I should not complicate things more than it already is. But never once did he look at me. A ball of fear gathers up in my stomach and I have a feeling that it’s not good. I kept fiddling my duppatta and looking out at the window.

Don’t lie D! You are continuously stealing glances at your husband!

Just shut up! Yes, I’m! Is that wrong!? He looks so handsome in his Green shirt and black jeans. Look at his fingers and arms! His sleeves rolled up to his elbow. His muscles rock hard! I wonder how those muscles will feel under my touch! His scent! GOSH he is so going to kill me!

No D! That’s perfectly fine! It’s just that you skipped that part! I wanted to tell that to your readers! They might want some romance right?!

Are you serious?! Romance comes only when love comes! We are still in the talking phase. Now just shut up! I am trying to start a conversation with him. You are distracting.

"um...are you ok?" I asked him. He turned to look at me. And concentrated back on the road! What? seriously? He is ignoring me now? What did I do? Is Shanu right? He married me in confusion and now regretting? So I am naive?!

May I come in, D?!

Whaat? I barked at Mindy.

Chill D! You are over thinking. Just remember to give him time. You know him D! But he doesn’t know you. You love him! But he doesn’t, at least not yet!

I don’t love him! Not yet.

Pch! please D! It’s just us! Confess it to me! I already know! You love him! Not until day before yesterday. But the moment you saw him as a groom you started loving him D! You can’t be showing your ego to me! Come on, I’m your mind damn it!

Aaarghh! Just finish what you wanted to say and go to hell already.

All I wanted to tell you, is you are a stranger to him and he have all rights to be angry on you. He has no lands to believe in you. He will love you for sure but only after you clear all the clouds between you. You cannot expect him to make love to you right away!

Okay okay! I agree! Now get lost. I will try again.

"Can I turn on the songs?" I tried to make a conversation again. No reply!

Never in my life have I ever experienced ignorance! Ouch! It hurts! I couldn't see things properly. It’s all a blur! He caressed my cheek and that is when I knew I was crying! He wiped my tears away?! He really did that?! What is he? A split personality disorder lunatic? One minute he ignores me and the next minute he caresses me!? Mindy, I am so going to kill you!

Hehe I just played some relevant video to this situation from your memory D!

My Rishi is not a damn ANNIYAN! and he is not going to try and kill me! Now stop spooking me out Idiot.

Awwww D! You are missing out on something!

What?

He caressed you D. He showed you that he cares! He wiped your tears away! That too even when he is angry! He doesn’t want to see you cry and look at him he switched the radio on.

Yes! Yes yes yes! He did exactly that. Even if he is angry on me he could not see me crying. He likes me! Thank you Mindy!

"I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to cry!" He just nodded his head! What! Not again!

"um... did I... are you angry with me? Did I do something wrong?" No reply! Should I stop now or push my luck!? So far he has not shouted at me! Let me try again!

"You don’t wanna talk to me? I really don’t know what I did wrong?! I didn’t feel this distance between us in these 2 days. But now I feel strange. Can’t we start as friends?"

He let out a deep breath and pulled the car over to the side and stopped. My heart started thumping out loud! He is going to talk! But why am I feeling scared?

"Look Danya! You wanna know what wrong you did? Well, I will tell you! You are wrong in marrying me when I said no. About starting as friends, I am an introvert person. I don’t do friends. And besides I won’t need a friend who is temporary! I mean you will be free from this marriage in 6months!"

Did he just call me temporary? He is so rude! I forgot the fact that he is a Hitler!

"Pch! please Danya! don't cry!"

He took my face in his palms and wiped my tears away with his thumb. He takes in a deep breath.

"Okay! friends?" Is he asking me to be friends?

Now I’m really frightened! He seriously has some mental problems! He pressed his thumbs on my cheek bones! My face is still in his hands! I feel tingles and

goosebumps erupt all over my body! I nodded in agreement to his question! He sighed and took his hands away from me. Why the hell am I feeling like I’m losing my body part!?

D! He called you by your name!

You don’t have to register every damn thing Mindy! let me enjoy his touch! go away! With that we drove in silence to my parent's place. Of course, the radio is still on!
