Their Infinity

Chapter 10

Ananya's POV:

           I took an auto from the office to my home. I was literally tired of the day. I had to be happy for amma. She was waiting for me at the dining table. I freshened up and we both ate our food and enjoyed the day. She asked me about the interview and I told her that I won't get the job. She was sad but told me to not lose hope and try in other place.

           After the lunch, I went to my room. Remembering the days events, I just wanted to cry my heart out. And I don't know when I slept. I woke up with a terrible head ache. I checked my phone and there were 10 missed calls. 7 from Vaish and 3 from an unknown no. I decided to ignore the unknown no and called Vaish. She shouted in the phone, " Where the hell are you?" I had to literally take the phone away from my ears. I told her that I overslept. She told me that she had gotten her bf to make special bookings for my birthday plan at a famous restaurant. I seriously didn't wanna go after the day's events but to keep her heart I said yes. “ We will come to pick you up in an hour. Be ready", she said, no, more like ordered. 

          I took a bath and got into a beautiful blue dress. Blue was my mumma's favourite colour. I did slight make up and taking my bag, I went down. I told amma about the dinner and told her to sleep and not wait for me. Vaish and her bf came in a car to pick me up. And I started sweating. “Vaish, you know about my fear of cars, then how can you?”, I asked her in a sad tone. “ Anu, it's ok yaar. And trust me, I am a good driver. Everything will be fine,”  her bf Amit said. “ I will come in an auto, ypu guys go ahead, otherwise I am not coming" I said in a strict tone. Vaish knew I wouldn't budge on that. Amit stopped an auto for me and I told the auto driver to follow the car. 

          We soon reached the destination. It was a beautiful restaurant . The interiors were so intricately done, I was mesmerised by the work. The waiter led us to our table. We ordered our food and it was delicious. It was worth every penny. After the desserts we were ready to leave. They tried to look for an auto for me but in vain. I told them they can go ahead. I will walk to the nearby bus stop. They were not ready but I forced them to go. After a lot of convincing they left. I started walking towards the bus stop. The lanes were empty and pitch dark. Now I was regretting my decision. I soon spotted a bus stop but there were 4 guys who looked like hooligans. I was scared to stand beside them. They were giving me dirty looks.

           After a few mins, one of them started coming towards me. I knew self defence but they were four. So the best thing that I could think of was running. I ran as if my life depended on that. I was blindly running in the middle of the road, a car came out of nowhere and I was blinded by the lights. 'This is it. This is how I am dieing. Mom dad I coming to u.' Few seconds passed but nothing happened. I looked up and the car had stopped just a few inches ahead of me. The driver came out and started shouting at me. “ If you wanted to commit suicide, go somewhere else. “ he said. 'What the hell was he speaking. Here I was about to die and he is blaming me.' “ Look Mr. I didn't wanna come in front of your car. Those goons were chasing me and I was running. I didn't realize when I came in the middle of the road," I said in one breath. “ Ok, now just move out of my way, my boss is getting late," he said. How pathetic can people be. I was being chased by goons and instead of helping me he is asking me to move away. I just sat there in astomishment. 

           He moved back in the car. And drove away. I saw back and the goons were still there. I tried to get up but I couldn’t. I think I had sprained my ankle. The goons came towards me and surrounded me. 'Ok now I am going to die. This is my death day finally.' When the goon was appraching towards me I turned my gaze the other side waiting for his move. Few seconds passed by but nothing happened. When I turned I heard a loud bang. And there was a sight to watch. Mr. Arrogant was fighting with the goons. He was looking so hot. I was looking, nah nah, drooling over him with lustful eyes. He looked so tempting flexing his muscles. After a few mins of show, all the goons ran away and he came towards me. “ Are you fine? “ I didnt respond. He shook me and I came out of my la la land.

 “Huh, what just happened?", I asked absent mindedly.

" I beat those goons and they are all gone. Come, I will drop you home", and he extended his hand.

 I got up with much difficulty and asked how.

 He was confused, “ what how?”.

 “ I meant how will u drop me?, I said.

 “ Oh Miss genius, that thing over there with four wheels is known as a car. I will drop you in that," he said sarcastically.

 “ I can't come in that," I blurted out.

 “ What nonsense? And why you can't come in that? , he asked withan angry face.

 "I kind of have a phobia of cars . I can't sit in them,"I said sheepishly. 

          And he started laughing like an i***t. 'He was looking so cute and that dimple on his left cheek. Uff, what the hell am I thinking' .

“ What was so funny?" I aked him with a poker face.

 “ No, it's just that I have never seen someone scared of cars. It kinda is funny."
