Chapter 235

Akshar stopped to listen to the song since the compiler spoke a lot about the song she was going to play. She went ahead and explained how she came across the song. She said that she had been to a friends place for dinner and he had this song playing and she was instantly captivated the melody. When she had asked him to play it again since she had liked the music, he had explained her, the beauty of the lyrics. She continued to explain the meaning of the song at least the first few lines and let the listeners imagination run wild.

I am starting to like you,

My mind thinks about you,

I am not sure why?

Both my eyelids are fighting

Refusing to close

I am not sure why?

I don’t really know you,

I don’t even know your name,

Why do you disturb me?

I am happy, I am normal,

But I often think about you,

I am not sure why?

Are you attractive?

Are you interesting?

I am not sure why?

…………..

There were two singers male and a female taking turns in singing the song. He didn’t really understand the lyrics, but after listening to the music he was quiet interested and his imagination took over so did his speed as he was driving in the left lane with four or five care both in front and in the back since it was always better to go with the flow if you are going to speed. Somehow the lyrics and his thoughts took him to Diya. He smiled to himself thinking that was kind of true since that’s how he had felt when he had met her, in the party, in the blue gown, exhibiting radiance. She looked great, but she wouldn’t fall in the category of beautiful women, he had seen too many in his life, she was successful, he had seen many and dated many too, she was smart, yes that was not new either, but there was something about her that he liked, until today he didn’t know what it was, but he knew there was something….

In the rearview mirror he spotted an unmarked cop car hiding behind the bushes and he didn’t want to take any chances so moved onto the middle lane and slowed down a bit and as he had expected in about fifteen seconds the unmarked car merged onto the highway and he slowly moved further to the right lane and continued on a low tempo waiting for the cop to pass him.
