Kalam

Chapter 4

                   4 months ago.

She was tired. Her shift today wasn't that long but Ruhanika hasn't been sleeping well. She got into her car and made her way towards her house. But luck wasn't on her side. 

Her car stopped in the middle of nowhere. The road was surrounded by trees on both sides. Honestly, someone can kill her and bury her there. Nobody will know.

Great. Issi ki kami thi.

(Only this was left)

Her phone did not have any signal. She can't even make a call. Or book a cab. Ruhanika looked up and groaned. 

What have I ever done to you, bhagwan ji?

(God)

She started walking ahead in search of signal or people. It was 9 at night, surely there will be people somewhere, nobody sleeps this early.

Perfect. 

She found people. Just the ones you're supposed to run away from. She cannot do shit to protect herself. All the fighting she knows comes from power rangers, and well they aren't exactly a reliable source. Ruhanika started walking faster as she saw them pacing towards her.

Now she was scared. She really should have believed her mother when she said that girls are not safe in delhi at night. She lives here alone. She doesn't even have someone to ask for help. 

And these morons just keep increasing their speed. Can't they go away? Nope, nobody has ever been on her side. As she is now running, she almost gets hit by a car. 

"Oh fuck! Are you okay? I am so sorry." A handsome man stood in front of her. He is tall. Messy hair, deep voice, even has an Expensive car. He looks like he belongs to a good family. 

But should she trust him? Well, he is her last resolve. 

"It's okay. I am not hurt. But can you help me? Those three men are following me and my car broke down and my phone does not have any signal. Please. I just need to go home." She is scared and tired. She is on the verge of crying. Tears are blurring her vision but she is trying to fight them back.

Aryan looks at the girl in front of him. She is beautiful but she looks really scared. Doesn't look like she is lying to be close to him. "Ofcourse I'll help you. Even my phone does not have signal, but please, get in the car. I'll drop you."

Ruhanika is hesitant but when she sees those men nearing her, she nods and quickly make her way towards the passenger seat. Aryan looks at the 3 men, who are clearly drunk. Glares at them and gets in the car.

Ruhanika gives Aryan her address, not the complete one, she is still vary of him. Though he seems like a genuine guy.

After fifteen minutes of driving, Aryan starts to feel like the silence is too heavy.

"What is your name? If you don't mind me asking."

"I don't and it's Ruhanika. Yours?

Aryan looks at her with a raised eyebrow. "You really don't know who I am?" She shakes her head with a frown. Is she supposed to know who he is?
