Vihaan is driving his car towards his the office early in the morning. The city traffic slowly increasing and people are rushing toward their workplace.
Vihaan is foucsed on the road, his mind is already thinking about the important meeting that is about to happen in his office today. several investor are coming. some senior board members are also present. and Vihaan knows that if he reaches late, the meeting might get delayed or even cancelled.
he dose not like delays
Everthing is his life usually runs with perfect timing.
Suddenly the car shakess slightly.
Vihaan frowns.
"What was that?"
the car starts moving strangely.
Vihaan slows the car and pulls it to the side of the road.
He step out of the car and walks around it.
The moment he looks at the tire, his expreession become darker
the wheel of his car got completely punctured.
for a second he just stares at it silently. then he runs his hand through his hair in frustration.
"Shit"
He looks at his watch
"I don't have time for this."
His voice becomes irritated.
"Now What do I do?, under any circumstances, reaching the office today, the important meeting will be canceled.!!!???"
He looks around the road cars are passing, people are walking. but he dose not see any mechanic shop nearby.
he took a deep breath.
"Under any circumstances, I have to reach the office today." He mutters to himself
He quickly Locked his car and walk toward the roadside hoping to find some transport.
Just then he notice an auto rickshaw coming slowly from the other side of the road
Vihaan raises his hand to stop it.
At the same Moment....
On the opposite side of the road.....
Kanak is already late for the class. she is also standing there.She is slightly out of breath beacuse she has been walking fast. When she sees the auto coming, her face lights up. she quickly runs a few steps forwards and wave her hand.
"Auto....!Auto....! "
The auto slows down and stops exactly between Kanak and Vihaan.
Kanak immediately steps forward and speak
"Brother, will you go to KGP college?"
At the same time Vihaan speaks from the other side.
"Vihaan will You go to the Royal State Tower?"
Both see each other...And the debate starts in both of them. and first time they look at each other properly.
Then Kanak quickly holds the side of the auto.
"Oh hello"
"I stopped this auto first." you can see another one auto".
Vihaan angrily and his tone going to sharp.
"Look, you move away from this auto. this auto stopped here beacause,I have seen it before and singaled it, you see another auto."
Kanak immediately shakes her head.
"No. I am already late."
Vihaan replies impatiently,
"And I am not late?,I have to go to attend a very important meeting "
"Well, I have an important class." Kanak said.
Vihaan sighs in annoyance and told to kanak again.
"Look, move away from the auto."
He says firmly,
"I saw it first. I will go in it."
Kanak raises her eyebrows and look at oon his face.
"Excuse me?"
Vihaan continues in an irritating way..
"I have to go for important work."
Kanak quickly responce to him,
"And I am going for a picnic?"
The auto driver watches both of them silently.
He scratches his head slightly while listening to their argument.
Kanak turns toward the driver.
"Brother, tell him I stopped the auto first."
Vihaan also look at the driver.
"You saw me raising my hand."
The auto driver looks confused.
Both passengers are arguing like children.
He sighs and finally speaks.
"Arre…"
Both of them stop talking and look at him.
The driver smiles lightly.
"Both of you have the same road. KGP College is on the way to Royal State Tower."
He points to the back seat of the auto.
"So both of you sit down. I will drop both of you."
For a moment there is complete silence.
Kanak looks at Vihaan.
Neither of them likes the idea very much.
Kanak whispers slightly,
"I don't want to sit with this angry man."
Vihaan hears it.
He looks at her with a sharp expression.
"And I don't want to sit with someone who argues this much."
Kanak looks away.
"Fine."
Vihaan sighs. He checks his watch again.He does not have time to argue anymore.Without saying anything, he quietly sits inside the auto.
Kanak watches him for a second. She also sits inside the auto, keeping a little distance.Both of them sit on opposite sides. Neither of them speaks.
The auto driver smiles a little while starting the engine.
The auto starts moving slowly on the busy road.Inside the auto there is complete silence.
Kanak looks outside the window.
Vihaan checks his phone.
Neither of them wants to start another argument.
But after a few seconds…
The auto suddenly hits a small bump.
Kanak loses her balance slightly.Her notebook slips from her hand and falls on the floor.
Vihaan notices it.
For a moment he hesitates.
Then he bends slightly and picks it up.
He hands it to her without looking directly at her.
Kanak takes it quietly.
"Thank you."
Vihaan nods slightly.
"No problem."
Then silence returns again.
But this time the silence feels slightly less tense.
The auto keeps moving forward on the road.
Neither of them knows one thing yet.
This random auto ride together…
