"When you can't run away from your problem, you tend to be restless."

~ withbeautifulwings.

I was currently sitting in the Vihaan's car, restlessly.

My mind is fighting with it's own. Negative thoughts have already invaded my mind and I am trying my level best to get rid of them but it's not happening. I want to run away but running away from your mind does not help, does it..? Someone once said, "The mind is like your shadow." It's true I guess.

My mind is entangled between various thoughts and emotions just in a span of 24 hours.

I want to steady my racing heart and my conflicting mind.

But how..?

I saw Vihaan glancing at me time to time to check upon me. I guess he have predicted that something is wrong with me as I am behaving very weird and alienated from morning.

I want to tell him about my dark past because I trust him but.....

I am not able to gather up courage to speak about it.

Suddenly I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt car stopping.

"Vaishnavi I am seeing you are distracted from morning. I thought to take you out of breakfast but nevermind. Why are you restless..?"

He asked very tenderly and after saying last sentence, he patted my head to which my whole body jerked. Ohh God!! What did I do..?

Oh shit!! He must be feeling...

My thoughts were cut when I saw his hurted expression.

Damn it Vaishnavi! What were you thinking..? He is Vihaan not somebody who will hurt.

It felt like I have committed a crime and should be killed for it.

His expressions changed when he saw my eyes... Probably they carried hurt and fear.

"I am soo sorry..
I am soo sorry..
I am soo sorry.."
He smiled and backed off.

"It's okay... I know you are hiding something beneath your skin. It's okay if you don't want to tell me.... Cause I have seen hurt and fear in your eyes. I guess you don't trust me enough to tell m-"

"No I trust you... It's just..."
His lips bursted out in a wide smile whereas I was confused.

"What..? Why are you smiling..?"
I asked to which he answered me sweetly. Nothing happened.. I said nothing happened, it's just my failed.

"It's good to hear that you trust me. I was hella scared and talking about your secret you can tell me anytime... I repeat anytime you fell comfortable, I will be always there to listen. And yeah you can even tell me when you are old like 80 or something."
He was definitely trying to cool down the temperature which was too high. I know my sentence sounded very weird and erotic but whatever.

"What the hell!! What do you mean by when I will get old. Oh hello mister you will get old earlier than me cause you are 2 years older than me."
He just shrugged his shoulders and said something which made me smack his arms.

"No no I will die my hair everyday and apply chand ka paste... So you will get old faster."

After smacking his arms, we both bursted into fits of laughter.

He started the car and we were on the highway when my phone beeped.

It was Vidhika's message..

"The appointment is postponed to 2 pm. So we still have 5 hours to go to the college."

I narrated the message to Vihaan who was driving.

After I was done speaking, I saw him smiling widely.

"What you are smiling like a idiot for..?"
I asked to which he again smiled, this time more wider.

"I can spend more time with you."
Second time my heart failed today.

How..? Just tell how can he be such a flirt and sweet at the same time.

"I don't know.."
I looked at him shocked.

Did he heard me.

"Yes you were very loud enough for me to hear you."
I snapped my head towards the window, blushing very hard.

I can feel him grinning at my actions.

After few seconds of silence, he spoke again.

"So should we go to a cafe..? What say..?"

"Umm.. Vihaan can we go and visit a psychiatrist..?"

What a good mood killer I am...
