You are everything I want

21.Jerk Malhotra

Car front door opened to reveal the person and I let out deep sigh of relief.

"Seems someone drenched in rain" He teased for seeing my sweat body.

"Seems someone can't mind their own business" He chuckled to irritate me.

"I think I am not joking here". Does he find my current situation funny?

"I didn't say so; I am sure yours will be dumb jokes anyway"

"No one invited you to give your opinion about my jokes"

"No invite is required; I am welcomed everywhere"

"In dreams"

"What? Do I come in your dreams also"? It is getting nowhere and its not time to fight.

"Mr. Manik Malhotra, what you want?" I asked him keeping my both hands folded on my chest.

"Okay fine, It's too late. Get inside the car, I will drop you"

"I don't want your charity. I can manage"

"Yeah, Yeah I saw it. If I would have taken few minutes to come out of my car, you have died out of fear."

"Manik Malhotra, are you deaf, I told I can..." he didn't allow me complete, dragging me and made to sit inside the car. Before I could get out, he got inside and held my hand to prevent from going out.

"Address?"

"I don't want to go with you"

"I am not dyeing to be with Nandhini. What is your address"

"I won't say"

"Say your address unless you want to come to place" He smirked. What a jerk.

I reminded silent. "Okay so, you don't want easy stuffs...fine"

He starts the car and I remind silent as he is going in correct path and turned left.

"Stop... take right" He smirked and took U turn and drive in right direction.

"Stop" I shouted as we came in front of my apartment.

He was observing me with his eagle eyes as I am getting out of the car but I ignored.

"Thanks" I mumbled.

"Wow, this the first" He said sarcastically.

"I do know the existence of words Sorry and Thanks unlike some arrogant creatures"

His smirk didn't fade way. "I am impressed Nandhini. My goodness your apartment is near, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to tolerate you"

"Seriously you need to consult a doctor"

"Can you please enlighten me exactly why I need?"

"You are the one made to drive with in car violently but now you are acting like I asked you a favour"

"I would have done the same to everyone Miss. Nandhini Murthy, so you included in that everyone" He stressed the word everyone with showing inverted commas with his hands.

"So I suggest you should be night cab driver instead of singer Mr.Manik Malhotra"

"I will consider your advice later." Without any moment he drove away.

He should be named as jerk Malhotra instead of Manik Malhotra. First suits more than second.

I opened my flat with bang. I want that jerk to be my flat door so that I could bang so hard.

Nights are supposed to go bed with peace but this jerk. It seems weird to see that jerk and word peace in same sentence. He was the first one to offer to drop, I didn't asked him right? Then why he showing this attitude? I should have been more strong to protest to get inside his car. But he was so strong.

Don't be lame Nandhini. You wanted to go with him.

What rubbish!

Truth sometime seems like rubbish.

I really do not want to get inside his car.

But finally you did. Just accept it.

Whatever...

I heard loud noise outside. What is the time? Who is knocking the door?

I opened the door and Abi was standing outside.

"What are you doing here"

"I am standing and sleeping here."

"Abi..."

"Can't you see, I came from my shifts"

"Why are you knocking the door?"

"You are sometimes the dumbest creature in world. I forget my keys"

"You can't expect me to act intelligent when I am sleeping. Even Einstein would be dumb when you wake him like this. And it's your fault in stars that you forgot your key especially in this weird shift from 6pm to 3am."

"Okay mother, sorry I am the one need to be blamed here. Happy?"

"That's good. By the way, you would have called me instead knocking the door, I meant ask this initially when I asked "why are you knocking the door" but you misinterpreted" He stared me and I know something is wrong.

"Go and see your mobile, how many missed call you get"

"Sorry, I didn't know that"

"No problem Nandhini"

"What is the time now?"

"4.45 am. And... Don't forget to prepare breakfast"

I nodded and he went inside his room to sleep.

I searched my phone but it is nowhere. I searched the whole flat except Abi room twice but I can find the mobile.

Suddenly it strike, last night I took my mobile out to call emergency number and I remember I had the mobile when he dragged inside the car and now it is missing...

Did I miss the mobile in his car?

Aiyappa, why are you playing like this?
