Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

SID'S POINT OF VIEW

I and Preeti are in my car going to the doctor's house. We almost drive half an our and we are on the outskirt of the city. I saw Preeti texting in her phone sending messages to everyone, telling them our whereabouts. After texting to everyone she put her phone on the deck in-front of her seat.

"It's going to rain." I said trying to pick up the conversation because Preeti don't talk much and I love to hear her voice.

"Hmmm..." she hummed.

"Do you like rain?" I asked.

"Not much, Actually I like it when it pour slowly at day time. But I hate it when it pour heavily at night and thunder make it worse in my case. I freaked out usually and I want someone beside me." She said with a soft chuckle.

I chuckled too. The small drops of rain pore on the front glass of the car and soon rain poured slowly just Preeti's like.

"You like rain?" She asked.

"Yeah...... little much but I hate getting wet in rain. I just hate wet clothes." I said with a soft chuckle and heard hers too. The silence take place again.

"Red colour suits on you." I said while turning my face to her.

She blushed and look down on her lap. My eyes travelled from her beautiful face to her lips. She bit her lower lip nervously and I have a hard time to control myself.

'Either this girl had to stop biting her lips or I will stop the car and kissed her tempting lips senselessly right now.'

"Don't.." I said while running my hand in my hair try to control myself.

"Huh.." she looked at me confusingly.

I take a deep breath and said, "Don't bit your lips...It's hard to control." She blushed and turn her head to the window to hide her blush.

The silence took over again. We drove about 15 more minute and lights of the market coming in view. I saw market is rushed with people even in the rain. We crossed the market and again we are in the isolated road. About 5 minutes I parked the car in-front of driveway of the house.

I helped Preeti to come out from the car. I rang the bell and a lady about 50 years old open the door. She looked both of us confusingly.

"Namaste aunty... I'm Preeti Agrawal, Mahesh Agrawal's niece, I'm here for my aunt's medicine." Preeti said while joining her hand together.

"Ooo...hii..you guys come." A sound came from inside the house. An old man walk to us.

"I was waiting for you. Why are you both standing outside in rain? Come inside." He move aside to give a space to come inside the house.

We both walked into the house. He led us to the living room. The old lady which I recognized must be his wife go into a room. We all look at her cold behavior toward us.

"Don't mind. She is my wife. She is a psychiatric patient." Doctor said.

"It's Okey..That's fine." I said.

"Mahesh ji informed me about your arrival on phone. You are his niece right." He asked. Preeti nodded her head as yes.

"...and this young man is must be your fiance, right. Hey...I'm doctor Mehta." He said while forward his hand to me for a hand shake. I saw Preeti blushed.

'Why this girl blush so much just mere mention of my name and give me a hard time.'

"Hiii...I'm Siddharth, Siddharth Kapoor." I said taking his hand for a hand shake.

"You guys want something, tea, coffee." He asked.

"No, thank you. We are here just for medicines. We have to leave soon before weather become worse." Preeti said.

"Oo..yeah...I forgot about the medicines." He said while opening the side table drawer and take out the khaki colour packet.

"Here.." he forward the packet toward us. I take a packet from him.

I and Preeti both got up at the same time from our seats.

"Are you guys sure, you both don't want to have anything. We can have dinner together." He said while walking with us to the gate.

"Thankyou but we have to reach home early, so some other time." I said.

"Okey, if you say so...say hey to Madhu ji." he said.

I nodded my head then he closed the door behind us. I and Preeti walk to the car. I opened the passenger door for Preeti. She set inside and I closed the door. Then I set on a driving seat.

After we leave the doctor's house and crossed the market the weather is getting worse. The strong wind is blowing, rain started pouring heavily, trees branches blowing by the wind, it felt like they will fell on us any time. I could hardly see on the road. I wiped the front glass by the wiper but it has no use because rain is pouring really heavy. We heard a sound of very angry thunder storm and lightning rod at the horizon.

Preeti gasped and put her right hand on my left thigh. I held her hand in mine and intertwine our fingers.

"Don't worry, I'm with you." I said looking at her and caressing her right cheek and again intertwine our hands. She nodded her head.

We drove about 15 minutes, rain didn't go any slower and weather is going worst. I still holding Preeti's hand. Her grip on my hand became more tight. I kissed on her hand in between to distract her. Then suddenly I heard the sound of tire screeching on my side. I and Preeti both look at eachother. I stopped the car at side of the road.

"Don't worry...you sit here I'll check." I said and open the door. I walk to the front and bent down to examine the tire. Rain is pouring on me heavily. I got wet in just a minute. My all clothes are drenched in water.

"Fuck..." I kicked the punchered tire. I walk back to the driver seat.

"The tire got punctured. I have to replace it. You sit here okey." I said to her through the window.

I take the extra stepney from the trunk. The road is isolated like a desert, not even a single car pass through in past 15 minutes. I bent down and started changing the tire. I fixed the Jack under the car and lifted car at front then I take screwdriver and start opening the bolts. Rain is pouring heavily and due to the less of light I had a difficulty to change the tire. I wiped the water drops on my forehead by my left forearm.
