Chapter 86: Chapter 86
"Ma'am we are about to reach your destination so please tell your husband to wake up as he slept the entire time from your apartment to the venue.", The cab driver suggested looking at Khushi through the mirror.
Khushi was busy gazing at the outside city as she really never got the chance to enjoy a drive due to her work schedule and financial crisis so when she got the chance now, she wanted to enjoy the whole ride.
But when the driver suggested his idea of waking up her husband, her eyes popped out in shock as she too got shocked and numb after listening to the words from the cab driver.
"No.. No.. You were taking us..", Khushi could not complete her sentence because Abeer suddenly woke up listening to Khushi's voice, which made Khushi feel awkward again.
"Aah! Sir you woke up. We are just about to reach your venue. I was just telling Madam to wake you up in case you want to get ready before entering there.", The cab driver said.
"What? Ready? Am I not looking that handsome and smart? That I have to become ready again.", Abeer talked to himself in his heart, feeling confused.
"What type of ready? I am already enough ready for the party.", Abeer blurted out in anger, making Khushi look towards him.
"You took me wrong, Sir. I was not talking about that, it's about combing your hair that got disturbed after sleeping.", The cab driver explained.
Abeer looked at himself in the mirror and realized that the cab driver was right. His hair was looking like a bird's nest so he immediately combed his hair and set it again.
Khushi started smiling seeing Abeer's action as she was listening to their conversation the whole time making Abeer felt embarrassed.
"Here you guys come. We have reached the destination.",The driver said, stopping the car and looking backward towards them with a huge smile on his face.
"Here is your money.", Khushi forwarded towards the driver after taking out her purse.
The cab driver took it smilingly and looked towards Abeer weirdly.
Abeer and Khushi both started walking when they heard the voice of the driver who was pointing towards Abeer and calling him.
"You stood here and waited for me. I will be coming in two minutes.", Abeer said and started walking.
"Sir, Sorry to disturb you. But I want to ask you one question if you don't mind, Please.", The driver asked smilingly.
"What question?"Abeer questioned, arching his eyebrows.
What's the secret of your happy married life? Even though I have been married for seven years, my wife fights with me daily. Actually it's become her habit now.``, The driver confessed, sadly.
Abeer was stunned with his words and became numb for some time.
" He assumed us as husband and wife, not even boyfriend and girlfriend. Heights of his assumption, I must clap for him. But do we seriously look like a couple together?" Abeer imagined and started blushing hard.
"Sir, what happened?", The cab driver asked, breaking the silence between them.
"Umm.. Nothing actually you know for a successful relationship you just need to know about your partner's nature and establish trust, understanding, care and love for each other with each passing day.
"And in our case I always appreciate her decision and respect her for it without any question and whenever we had a fight I took aside my ego and went to apologize making everything alright at the end of the day." He added and an unknown smile appeared on his face.
" I knew the moment you sat on my can that you were the person, whom I have been looking for so many days to seek my answer.",The cab driver said, happily.
" Thank you so much for taking out a few minutes from your precious time. And now please go, your wife is waiting for you there. ", The cab driver responded and left from there.
Abeer turned to witness Khushi waiting for him at the place where she left him and started smiling.
" But why didn't you clarify his misunderstanding? Why didn't you bother to explain to him that you were not a couple?"Abeer's heart questioned him, making him flinch at his position.
"I... I don't know the reason. But I really wanted to clarify his misunderstanding." Abeer stuttered.
"Oh! Really. Is it so? Then why don't you?", Abeer's heart again questioned him.
"I told you before and I am telling you now again that I don't know. Now please stop questioning, she is waiting for me.", Abeer blocked his talk with his heart and moved forward.
"Why did he call you?", Khushi questioned the moment Abeer came towards her.
"Umm..nothing he just wanted advice for his happy life.", Abeer mumbled hesitantly.
"But when did you start giving advice to others and I did not know about it. When did you start this business?", Khushi asked, with shocking expressions on her face.
"No.. No.. I have not started any new business. Nor am I an advisor. It's just he feels like I could give answer to his questions so he talked to me. You know man to man talk.", Abeer tried to escape from the situation before she started throwing her next question.
Her questions were no less than an atom bomb for Abeer.
" Aren't we getting late for the night? I think Christian might be waiting for us, inside. So if your question answer round is finished then Shall we go?", Abeer questioned looking at her.
"Yes.. Sure. I am even excited to enjoy and celebrate. Come let's go.", Khushi said, getting excited.
The moment they were about to enter the exit gate, Abeer took his monkey cap to wear. He did not want to show his face publicly otherwise, he is still alive and will be known by everyone, his family as well as his enemies.
And this period is really crucial for him so he was hiding himself as much as he could. He did not want to take any chances before he knew about the real mastermind who planned this accident for him.
"Hey! What's this? Why are you wearing it? Did you start feeling cold? Are you alright? Let's go to the doctor." Khushi started throwing her questions like one bomb after another.
Abeer totally forgot about her and how she will react after seeing him.
" Oh! No.. Not again. SHE started worrying and questioning. How did I forget about her? " Abeer questioned himself in his heart, getting tense looking at her facial expressions, which were signaling to him that he was caught in his own trap.
