3 Chapter 3

We took a cab to reach to the address Aakash had sent to me. I couldn't take Rashika in my car or she would find out about me. And also I asked Aakash to send someone to pick my car up from the Royal hotel. Next time when J will meet him, I'll have to explain everything to him about what happened last night, why I went missing, where I went and how did I marry someone I had just met. He didn't ask much as an assistant and did whatever I asked him to do. But as an old friend, I had to explain him. I'd known he was going to be mad at me, but I also knew he'll understand and will accept us. Because he knows better than me that I don't make mistakes in making decisions and if I do, I never regret.

We reached the location in an hour. It was quite kind of a remote place. Rashika fell asleep on our way here. Well, it was quite tiring for her. We found a few unburnt clothes. She gave me a pair of T-shirt and jeans that belongs to her brother. We both were all wet because of the rain so we changed our clothes. Her brother's clothes were tight for me. How could a kid clothes fit a grown up man like me. I scolded myself for complaining. The clothes weren't that high of the quality and expensive like I normally wore but it was not that bad either. After I got finished I checked out that room. It belongs to her brother. By the look of his room I can tell he must be around 18-20, still a kid. I completed checking out that house and found nothing that could set fire. " If nothing is wrong here then the fire... yeah it must be set up by someone intentionally", I concluded. I went to Rashika, and saw her holding a family picture and weeping. I don't know why I did that, but I went near her and hugged her from the back, which made her cry even more. It was the first time she cried with all her heart, since we met. It was the first time a girl cried in my arms. I held her till she cried.

It was already 4 in the morning and we still had few hours before we could get married. The car stopped in front of an old building of 7 floors. If it wasn't for this lady beside me, I don't think I would ever even step a foot here.

I got off the cab and asked the driver to wait for a few minutes and I will pay him extra wages. I called Aakash and asked him where he was. He was upstairs, in that little house of mine, checking if everything was fine or not. My house was in the top floor as always but the building was quite short. I called the driver to help me with Rashika's stuffs. At first he glared at me and said he's not my personal driver or servant to do these kinds of stuffs. I offered him the money again and he agreed as I had expected. Poor and greedy will do anything for money. I didn't want to wake her up. So I just carried her in my arms. As the lift reached the top floor, doors of the lift opened and Aakash was standing there, waiting for us. He was shocked to see a girl in my arms. Well it was quite obvious because I had never carried any girl in my arms before, and that includes my ex-girlfriend, Roshni. The one I mentioned before, with whom I broke up few hours ago. " Why is she unconscious?", he asked pointing at Rashika, "She is just sleeping, you idiot", I said as I stepped out of the lift. " Ye saaman kahan rakhna hai, sahab?" asked the driver holding Rashika's bag. Both I and Aakash gave him irritated looks. "Pay him double than he demands", I said. " Yes boss", said Aakash. I saw him giving Rs.4000 to the driver. After he left, Aakash placed his hand on Rashika's head and then checked her pulse. "Fainted due to high fever" said Aakash. "Stop your nonsense, I don't really feel her body hot while carrying her". I replied and went inside the house. I directly took her to the bedroom and gently put her down on the bed. "Are you sure you don't have fever too? " asked Aakash as I stepped out of the bedroom. "Call your doctor girlfriend, Rashika has 103 °F fever" I said." We can call someone from the nearest hospital, then why her? she will get mad if I disturbed her beauty sleep", he replied. I glared at him like ' how could you expect let anyone touch my wife so easily?'.
