My Accidental Marriage

Chapter 16| Small Outing

Khushi looked confused when Manish stopped the bike near a crowded area. An area she was quite familiar with. An area that even though she had only visited like 7 or 8 times in her life, but She was quite aware off. And who wouldn't know it. Living in Delhi if one doesn't know anything about Chandni chowk Market then what do they know. Chandni Chowk was one of them most famous market areas in Delhi that was filled with whole sale markets to shop at, Delicious mouth watering street food to devour and a experience of an life time to in take.

Khushi watched in confusion as Manish parked his bike near one of the empty parking spots between hundreds of bikes and Scooty's parked. Khushi got of the bike followed by Manish who locked the handle of the bike to secure it.

Khushi:"umm do you need anything from here?"

Manish:"no.. Actually. Well I thought.. I mean Dadu.."(He sighed unable to get the right words to come out)"I know Khushi that it must be really hard for you to in take all  of the things that have been happening in our lives. Our lives have taken a drastic turn in the past few days. You might feel so uncomfortable as for you everything has changed in your life. Your family is far from you and we are practically still strangers. Well so Dadu suggested that I should take you out. Make you comfortable"

Khushi:"No.. There no need I.. You don't have to force yourse..."

Manish:"I am not being forced into this Khushi. And now that we are here why no enjoy it. (Khushi nodded as they started to walk inside)"Well.. umm I couldn't think of what place you would like to go. I mean girls like shopping so I thought this was the best place. If you don't like  markets then we can go to the mall as well?"

Khushi:"No no.."

Manish:"okay"

They walked next to each other silently. Their was an awkwardness between them that hadn't left them since the beginning. If they were honest with each other it had started to irritate them. They were still walking outside the market area so the crowd was less but as Manish and Khushi started to head inside the main market area, the crowd grew. Manish himself had to push past few people. He turned back to see Khushi a little behind him as the crowd started to fill between them.

Khushi on the other hand was struggling the worst. First of all the crowd was making her irritated. She hated crowded places especially like situation right now. Secondly she hated shopping and right now she stood in a place that held only these 2 things. One of them being shopping.

Many people find it weird that a girl can hate shopping, but Khushi has disliked it since she was small. She never had the patience to look at 100s of clothes and pick out only 1 or sometimes none out of them. Then after she started to live with Chachi and Chachaji, They never bought her any new clothes or items. She herself didn't know why, but she didn't like shopping. Especially in crowded markets.

Khushi:(trying to push pass 2 aunties who seemed to think talking in the middle of the way while there was a prefect area to chat in the corner of the street)"Excuse Me Aunty. Please move a little to the side"(She pushed pass them as she heard them mumble something in anger but khushi ignored)

Khushi looked ahead to find Manish only to see him no where in such a crowded place. God what would she do now. She doesn't even have his phone number to call him. Shoot. Should she go back and wait near the bike? Or Should she...

Her thought process was cut of when a hand slipped into hers as she felt a tug pulling her in a direction. She looked to the side to see Manish looking around the area as if trying to find a less crowded area. He started to move forward through the crowd using himself as a shield so Khushi was not bumped into as most people kept bumping into them.
