DESTINED

14.

I woke up as sunlight hit my face, squinting my eyes against the brightness.

With difficulty, I opened my eyes and felt a throbbing pain in my head.

As I tried to get up, I realized someone was on top of me. Looking up, I saw Siya peacefully sleeping.

I stared at her for a moment, pushing some strands of hair behind her ears to avoid disturbing her.

Reality suddenly hit me, and I glanced around to find ourselves in a car with a sheet partitioning the backseat.

I got up, holding Siya, and she woke up due to the movement.

"What happened? Let me sleep some more," she whined in a sleepy voice.

I gently caressed her hair, trying to relax her. "Wake up, baby, we need to go," I finally said, waking her up.

She looked around, shocked. "WTF! Where are we?" she exclaimed.

"In the car, I guess," I snorted, only to get hit.

"Oww!" I whined. "Get up; we need to go. And where is Shree?" she asked, looking around.

"Of course, she won't be here to see us like this," I sarcastically replied, getting hit again.

"Why do guys always hit me?" I cried, rubbing the back of my head.

"Shut up and get us out of here," she almost shouted.

I nodded, and we fixed ourselves before finally coming out of the car.

It was a parking lot, and we saw a house attached to it. We exchanged glances and went towards it.

The door was open, so we entered the living room to find Shreesha and Ayansh sleeping on the couch, hugging each other.

Our eyes widened, and we looked at each other, then towards them.

Siya took out her phone and clicked some photos of them, and I chuckled at her excitement.

"Let's wake them up," I whispered to Siya.

"I don't think we should; look at them, they look cute," she whispered back, unsure.

"Do you have any other option?" I said, looking at her. She pouted and shook her head.

"Babe, just wake them up already," I said.

She nodded and walked towards Shreesha.
