Ride
Harsha 's POV :
I wave my hand in front of the lost
angel 's face . I think she has zoned out because of her thoughtful face . It's a wonder how I can read her face so easily . Often , I don't understand myself and yet here , I'm able to decipher this angel 's face ...
A pink hue forms on her cheeks as she gets embarrassed on being caught . I smile at her but then she cannot see it as I have my helmet on .
She coughs a little awkwardly and then clears her throat . All the while I wait for her to speak something .
" Hi , I am Ishitha and I have come here for a holiday to enjoy but the cab driver left me on this abandoned road saying that his car cannot travel in this narrow lane . I had started walking carrying my luggage and then now , my heel has broken and I fucking don't know how to reach to this address . " She rambles out her problems and I look at her wondering if she wasn't taught in childhood that , " You shouldn't speak more or more like anything to the stranger . "
May be not my brain tells and for the time being my heart agrees . But still she shouldn't tell everything to a stranger so easily . What if I wasn't a good man and some stalker or a beast ?
" You are the latter , " my brain tells me but my heart doesn't agree giving up my internal battle , I concentrate on the frowning Ishitha in front of me .
But the main question is why is she frowning ?

Ishitha 's pov :
After overcoming my embarrassment by fake coughing , I start speaking in my practiced confident voice .
" Hi , I am Ishitha and I have come here for a holiday to enjoy but the cab driver left me on this abandoned road saying that his car cannot travel in this narrow lane . I had started walking carrying my luggage and then now , my heel has broken and I fucking don't know how to reach to this address . "
After saying everything , I take a deep breath and look at my guardian angel for some initiative that he will offer me a ride to my cottage ...
Forget about asking me , he stands there like a statue . I so wish to take out that helmet off his face and ask him why isn't he coming to offer me help being my guardian angel .
A frown marrs my face at his unresponsive state .
" Huh , Can you show me the address ? I would like to drop you off , if you don't mind , " He says his voice suddenly nervous .
But why has his voice suddenly changed into nervousness . Does he think that I'll not give him my address or Is there any other reason which I am not able to guess ?
Not wasting my thinking energy on my thoughts I quickly pull out my diary from the bag and show him the address .
He takes it and I don't think he gives two glances to the address as he bends down and picks up my luggage and places it in front of him and sits on his Royal Enfield .
I keep staring at him not knowing what to do .
" What are you looking at ? Hop on and I'll drop you . " He tells me his voice back to his husky and intense .
Now I look down foolishly . Why didn't this strike me first ? My face falls down at remembering this .
" Hey , everything alright ? " he asks concerned . I don't remember last time when someone was so concerned of me .
It somehow brings warmth to my home . I look down at the ground embarrassed again . I think I should mark this date in the calendar because I don't remember the last time I was embarrassed so many times in a day ...
" Everything okay ? " He asks again .
" Actually I have never rode a bike before , So ... " I trail of leaving the sentence incomplete . I don't know why but I am sure he will be able to fill in the blank space .
As growing up , I have always been driven to school in car and then I learnt car driving . So , basically I have never rode a bike in my life .
In fact yesterday was the first time I had rode an auto rickshaw ...
" Don't worry , I assure to drop you safe . You can trust me and coming to hopping into bike part , put your leg on the paddle down there , then hold my shoulders , and sit down parting your legs on both the sides just like me , " he tells and I nod my head .
Securing the straps of my handbag tightly , I put my feet on the paddle of bike and put my hands on his broad shoulders for support and sit down just like him .
" Now that wasn't tough . Was it ? " He asks with a laughter in his voice and I just let it go with a small smile of mine .
Three Cheers to the start of my vacation , I think tightening my grip on his shoulders as the bike roars to life in the silence of Streets ....
