VANYA'S POV
Dadi sa announced, "We'll head to Bagru this afternoon."
As I served breakfast, Maa sa tried to convince her otherwise. "But Maa sa, stay a few more days."
Twisha added, "Yes, Dadisa. Why can't you stay longer?"
Dadi sa replied, "We've been here over a week, and I have important work waiting for me."
Baapu sa nodded, saying, "Yes, Maa sa. Don't worry, everything will be ready." He exchanged a glance with Rudransh, who gave a slight nod in agreement.
After bidding farewell to everyone, we set off for Bagru, this time with just me, Rudransh, Dadi sa, and Tara.
I was in the car with Rudransh, and after two hours of sleep, I woke up.
"Are we home yet?" I asked.
"Just half an hour more," he replied.
I turned to the window, taking in the peaceful scenery outside.
Rudransh suddenly broke the silence. "You know, I thought the view was beautiful... until I looked at you."
"You're so cheesy," I laughed.
"Yeah, Vanya, then go ahead and 'lick' me," he teased with a smirk.
My cheeks flushed red. How does he come up with these things? I quickly said, "Just focus on driving, please."
Outside, the fields stretched endlessly, roads empty, and a calm atmosphere surrounded us. But suddenly, Rudransh hit the brakes hard, making us both bounce slightly.
I looked at him, tense. "What happened?"
"There's something on the road," he said, his gaze fixed ahead.
I leaned forward and saw a large black bag lying in the middle of the road, big enough to block our way.
Rudransh glanced at me. "Stay in the car," he instructed, then stepped out. I felt a little uneasy, watching him as he made a call.
After a few moments, Dadi sa's car pulled up behind us.
Rudransh got back in the car, his face serious but calm. "It's taken care of," he assured, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze.
With Dadi sa's car behind us, we started moving again, but a lingering unease hung in the air as we continued our journey to Bagru.
We reached home late at night, and Taisa was there to welcome us, having taken care of everything. After a quiet dinner, Rudransh and Tauji went to study, no doubt to discuss the incident from earlier.
I went to my room and changed into a kurti. Sitting by the window with a book, I tried to distract myself, but my mind kept returning to the unsettling events of the day.
