Ishq sukoon hai

28

Priyanka was coming back from a trip. Her car broke down in the middle of an empty road, the driver was busy checking the engine. Another car stopped near hers, the window rolled down and a man peeped out

Aryan: Hey, do you need some help

Priyanka: Hi Aryan

Aryan: Oh Priyanka, hi. Can I drop you somewhere?

Priyanka: No, i was going home actually, the driver is looking into the issue

Aryan: It's okay, I'll drop you. This area is quite desolated, you shouldn't be out here after dark. Come I'll drop you home

Priyanka: Ok, chandar bhaiyya, I'll tell khanna bhaiyya to send help for you

She got in Aryan's car, feeling a bit nervous. Ever since their first meeting at Om and Gauri's engagement Priyanka had developed a crush on Aryan.

Aryan: This color looks really nice on you

Priyanka: th.. thanks. Oh my god I didn't even ask, you're not missing some important work because of me right?

Aryan: Oh no no, not at all

Aryan (in his mind): No meeting is as important as this. She's so shy, just like the engagement party.

Aryan: Gauri has told me a lot about you.

She looked at him surprised

Aryan: And Om and Rudra. She talks a lot about all of you.

Priyanka: oh, yeah. We all love her. I'm eagerly waiting for their wedding, it'll be so much fun

Aryan: I'm sure it'll be. What about you, any plans for getting married?

Priyanka: (she felt nervous) No

Aryan: Why? Not found the right guy yet?

Priyanka: Something like that.

The car pulled up in front of Oberoi Mansion. He got down and went around the car to open the door for her

Priyanka (in her mind): He's so sweet, such a gentleman.

Priyanka: Thank you for the lift

Aryan: My pleasure

She stepped away from the car

Aryan: Uhh Priyanka

She turned around to look at him, her heart racing

Priyanka: Yeah

Aryan: Can we connect on social media?

Priyanka: sure (she nodded with a shy smile)

He pulled his phone out and sent her a request, which she accepted right away

Priyanka: bye Aryan

Aryan: bye Priyanka
