I was pushed off Rakshit's chest after I attempted sleeping in that pose and escaped death by a narrow gap. The fact that we were being searched for in almost every corner of the city somehow failed to haunt me as I flamboyantly sat behind and ate my food like I was royalty.

Food is not meant for sharing so I avoided asking anyone if they wanted some.

Like what if they said yes?

I supposed I had something on my face as I noticed the nicely tattooed man peeping at me in peace. That was the last view I saw before sleep took over me.

Slow jerks of the car, comfortable silence and a pleasant fragrance of the same lavender perfume I use helped me sleep. Lavender scent mixed with traces of smoke.

Who could've thought such a man would use a sweet smelling perfume like this?

After what felt like hours of drive the car stopped and I was forced to wake up. We stopped near a highway that had a restaurant nearby, a big flashy one. The reason behind it was simple. Nobody would expect us stopping at a flashy restaurant, rather they would think we would choose an infamous dhaba where no one recognised us.

"Ah! Mujhe to bht bhukh lagi hai. Chalo khate hain" I smiled and as I was about to enter the restaurant premises, a hand grabbed neck and forced me to the other side- the outdoor washrooms.

"Hum koshish kar rahe hain ki kisi ka dhyan na jae hamare upar aur tum ho ki" Lavanya sighed as Divya pulled me towards the washroom with a change if clothes. "Hum yaha khana khane nahi ae"

Wtf?!

The guys were looking at us and probably wondering why they took this deal.

"Pr mujhe bhukh lagi hai" If I had known I would've eaten off the buffet at my wedding and ran off after I was done eating.

"No means no"

"No!!!! Please!!!!"

"Drishti, chalo andar"

"Divya please! Can I get some fries at least?"

"Nahi"

"Lavanya"

"No"

Thats some nice friends I got there.

With that I was pushed inside and forced to change into a pair of absurdly normal clothes. A white t-shirt and one black lower. I liked it- but I seriously think I would've done better.

"Can I at least have white shoes?" I whispered as Divya threw a pair of black shoes towards me.

"Drishti, seriously?"

"Please" I smiled.

Lavanya looked at me like she was about to pound in fir a kill and removed her white shoes before tossing them over to me.

"Thanks"

"Divya!" The door burst open and Romi entered the ladies washroom which freaked the two of us out. The third one Divya was so bewildered that she ended up punching him in the stomach for the stunt he just pulled.

Ouch as he sat on his knees holding his stomach and murmuring low curses directed solely towards her.

"Kya batameezi hai?" She yelled holding his collar.

"Ah, vo kisi ne tumhe pehchan lia aur usne tumhare pyare gharwalo ko yahan chai ke bula lea" he spat in utter disgust coated with fake sweetness as a sign of gratitude towards Divya.

Who's idea was this anyway?

I knew it was dumb.

"Kya?!" DIvya yelled.

"Aur meine pehle hi kaha tha ki Drishti ki boli koi bat seriously mat lena" Lavanya spoke with tiredness in her voice and left the washroom.

And we followed her such that every single one of us were running for our dear lives.

I didn't care much. Like I was the supposed wife so I won't die. The rest of them would eventually be dead.

"Oh wow Barat" I smiled as I pointed towards a group of cars coming in our direction and waved to them.

"Oh God! Is ladki ka mein kya karu" Divya cried as she ran towards the car.

As I was waving to them I felt someone pick me up like a sack of potatoes and run away from the cars. Turning my head towards the man picking me up, I was mesmerised on seeing a messy haired Rakshit scrowning at the sight.

Before I could react I was thrown- literally thrown- into the backseat almost ready to get my neck broken and he sat like a prince climbing his horse with all awe.

"You know, you could seriously use some manners"

He gave me the are you serious look and closed the back door as the Vicky started the car and drove as fast as he could.

It wasn't that I underestimated the seriousness of the situation, but it was just that I really wanted to live this moment. Something told me that I will be okay, even if we were caught and so I trusted my gut and smiled.

Then my smile fell at an instant.

"Mere fries" Ignoring Lavanya and Divya I looked out the window and mourned over my dear fries while laying back.

Nevertheless I smiled remembering something.

Just as we got out of the car a few minutes back, it was Rakshit who helped me get off and what left me spellbound was the softness and the delicacy of his hold. This man was something.

As my smile resided some fries were pushed in my direction. Left in utter shock I looked at Rakshit who was looking outside and handing them over.

"Ek to ye sab is bande ki vajah se hua hai! Maze se muh utha ke fries lene chala gaya! Ahhh! Meine roka tha ise pr ye nahi ruka! Kamina kahi ka. Iski vajah se aj hum sab lash hote" Vicky yelled.

Rakshit glared at him from the backseat as I took the fries.

I giggled a little at the reveal and things took a turn, a magical turn.

What felt like pure magic was experienced as Rakshit's features softened as he looked at me and what we call butterflies erupted in my stomach.

I feel like I know him from somewhere.
