I reached parking and stood still with an unclear vision of how to find him in this enormous lot.Meanwhile, an Onyx Black Aston Martin DB11 halted in front with a mild screech.Aston Martin?Oh my! This is the same one due to which I have pulled out the stupidest stunt of my existence. So, this is him. "Get in, daddy's little girl", he said putting down the driving seat's windshield.Why is he on the driving seat?No driver?He is the one who will be driving?Save me!*praying*Immersed in my own thoughts, I was walking towards the back."Hey! What are your strides up to, sweetheart? Take the front seat next to me, which is always yours from now on", he spoke with authenticity.Front seat?That was the moment when I realised, I was heading towards backseat.*imaginary facepalm*Thanks to my Idiots for always making me habituated to hold the backseat. "I apologize", I took the front seat."You don't have to be sorry for anything when you are with me", he blinked in assurance. I agree that I always wished for the day when a special person holds his car's front seat only for me.However, when someone is saying this in real then why am I so confused?Might be because I was not expecting this all of a sudden.Crap!Did I just say special person?Kill me!Although, somewhere around the corner of my heart, this gesture of his made me feel special for a while.Why? *vague*"Where are you lost?", he snapped me back."No where", I replied.I took seat ignoring his continuous stare at me surveying my face utterance."Shall we?", he initiated before starting.I nodded a YES!How can someone be so gentlemanly?Stop it, Aashi!How can you think in that way?Focus! No same trap again. "Are you okay?", he pulled me back from my flow of thoughts."You won't seemed to be comforted. Are you stressed about the meet with clients?", he added in his genuine tone."How can I be comfortable on being with you?" I gave back."Has anyone confronted you that you are such a bad liar?", he chuckled."Excuse me! I never lie", I retorted."That's what I said! Don't even try", he winked.Gosh! "Hush! Concentrate on driving, please", I shushed him. "Hey bhagwan! Yeh mere saath hi kyun? Kaha phas gayi..", I blabbered while glancing over the files to avoid him in an almost declared hope that he will not understand the language.But.."Ab zindagi bhar yahi phasna hai, papa ki pari", there comes his quick reply like a bullet to my ear drums.When I discerned the source of the voice, my eyes almost popped-out and my ears went wide."You know Hindi?", I almost yelled making him lose his attentiveness from driving."Yes! What's wrong?", he smiled."Nothing", I replied sternly though I was completely amused.We went quiet for few further minutes.However, a harmonious voice attracted my concentration.It was Neil humming..Hum jo chalne lage..Chalne lage hai yeh raaste..Haaa ha haaa..Manzil se behtar..Lagne lage hai yeh raaste..Aaoo kho jaaye hum..Ho jaaye hum yun laa pata..Aaoo meelo chale..Jaana kaha na ho pata.."Hindi again?", I blurted out making him pause his track."Wow! Rather than my melodious effort, this is what has caught your heed?", he turned the steering to right. "Isn't it obvious? I mean the 'Neil Oberoi' from London knows Hindi?", I was shocked."Why not? Does this language hold any sort of conditions applied asterisk mark on it for others to learn?", he burst out in a mild laugh."You really want me to laugh on this?", I raised my brow."Though I don't mind but just curious to know why you can't speak normally with me?", he wiggled his eyebrows. "Well, it depends on people you know", I threw a sarcastic smile."No matter what ever you say or do, you will always be my life", he responded with a bona fide gaze at me.I looked away in a try to shun this matter as I couldn't stand his blue orbs which were about to establish onto mine.*Buzz*My phone buzzed with a message notification.I opened it and the visual of words made me face an another thunderbolt.It read..*Hey.. Miss. Rao! Hope you are doing good!Missed me? Well, I missed you a lot!♥️Awaiting for the day to meet you face to face!See you soon!*Shit! Shit! Shit!It was the same stalker who had almost ruined my peaceful life.After perceiving the reality, my brain went blank, turning my cords numb which pulled out an unconsented scream from my vocals and my palm lost grip of my phone making it land onto the car's floor.*thump*No No No!He can't be back. "Are you okay?", Neil hawled looking at my condition.I wanted to speak but couldn't as my vocals went dry. "S..Stalker's m..message", I could hardly speak."What? Calm down..", he tried to pacify which didn't work.He was trying hard to balance both, me and driving as there wasn't any option to park the car immediately because of us being at the centre of the highway."I AM HERE..", he kept on a try to comfort me.Eventually, he lost the track because of me and my senses started giving up.Then, in fraction of seconds...Boom! I passed out. **************************OMG! Stalker is back. What happened in the end? See you in the next chapter.Till then stay tuned and miss me.😉#KeepReading #KeepLoving♥️♥️
