DESTINED

11.

Currently, I'm sitting in Shreesha's car as she was dropping me off. After leaving the restaurant, Siya and Veer decided to leave together.

We headed towards the parking lot only to find my car punctured. Shreesha offered me a ride, and I couldn't decline.

"Where do you live, by the way?" she finally asked, breaking the silence.

I shared my address, and we drove off. While driving, she tried to put on some music from her phone, which was connected to the car.

"Wait, I'll do it. You drive carefully," I said, taking her phone.

"Okay," she replied.

I opened her phone only to find a photo of her with her younger brother.

It was an old picture, and they looked cute. I swiped up, only to find the passcode.

"What's your password?" I asked, looking at her.

"3476," she answered.

I unlocked her phone and played some songs. There was silence after that, with only the music audible

That's when her phone rang. She answered the call, and put it on speaker

"Hello," a female voice said from the other side.

"Oh, hello, aunty," Shreesha answered.

"Shreesha beta, is Siya with you? She isn't answering my call," asked the lady.

Shreesha stopped and looked at the caller ID in shock, cursing under her breath.

"Hello," the voice came again from the other side, bringing her back to reality.

"Uh, yeah, aunty, she is with me. She'll be staying at my place today," she answered nervously.

"Oh, okay. Can you give her the call? I want to talk to her," the lady said.

Shreesha widened her eyes, looking at me. I was just looking at her in a daze.

"Oh, aunty, actually, she is sleeping. We had so much work today," she lied.

"Okay, beta, ask her to call me when she wakes up," the lady said and hung up the call.

Shreesha took a long breath, finally coming out of the situation. I looked at her, raising my brows for an answer.

"Oh, it was Siya's mom," she said, laughing nervously.
