It was really getting darker, she was too scared to even look around.
She started walking in the direction unknown, what will come up next. She was too much engrossed in her thoughts just cursing her friend for forcing her to join her birthday party and her phone had no network coverage to make any call.

She was silently praying her God "Oh why today all this had to happen why did my car break down in this secluded area where there is no trace of even an animal."

Oh gosh what's going to happen now ...all these thoughts were attacking her brain. She kept on walking with maximum speed.

Suddenly she saw a vehicle coming towards her.Within seconds she was pulled aside by strong arms towards a tree that had little shelter to have got at that place..she was blank for few minutes because of the impact of stranger's pull in fraction of second.

Next moment that person was talking to someone else instructing him to drop her wherever her destination was as her car had broke down ...she was shocked to hear him say that because she had not seen a single vehicle from long time ...she again started praying "oh why me?!"

"I hope he is not any vampire" thinking about that she started shivering ..she tried to see his face but it was too dark to even see the slightest glimpse of any of his body part...he asked her to get in the car and his driver will drop her.

Within no seconds he started walking with his phone making a call ....quietly she sat on the back seat 

and once the flash lights of car fell on his back all that she could see was well built tall body with a small sun tatoo with M letter on his neck ...she could see that as he was wearing white T-shirt with bit lower neck.

She felt a strong jerk as the car jolted real fast and she had to put breaks on her glance and thoughts disappointingly ...she tried talking to the driver but he didn't react a bit except for asking where she wanted to be dropped !

Was that you?

He called up Cabir and asked him to come and meet him. 


"Oh god, am I ready for this kind of commitment yet??" He muttered to himself hopelessly. 


After half an hour Cabir and Manik were in Manik's room, both in serious discussion. 


"Manik, what's the problem bro? You had a break up with Soha and seems like you really like Nandini. So what's the problem here just say yes for this proposal." Cabir said teasingly. 


"Cabir, no, that's not the point. I don't know why but something is not right, I don't know what Nandini feels about me and I somehow feel I am the reason for breakup with Soha. That long distance relationship just wasn't working and may be it was just infatuation I felt for her. I didn't even try to fix it up. I felt like, I was wanting an out since long time. I am feeling relieved instead of wanting to sulk. What's happening?" Manik huffed looking at Cabir.
