Fantasy Adventure of sam and neha

[Life_is_short]

We somehow sneaked into the car.
My hands were shaking as I started the engine.

I drove like an amateur.
Too fast. Too rough. I just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

The road felt longer than it was.
Every mirror looked dangerous.

After a few kilometers, I stopped the car on the side.
The engine was still running.

Neha turned to me, panic on her face.

NEHA
I think he saw us.

My heart skipped.

**SAM**
No. No chance.
(trying to stay calm)

But I was tense. Very tense.

Neha shook her head.

**NEHA**
That scoundrel never seemed like this.

I stared straight ahead, gripping the steering wheel.

SAM
I know.

Silence filled the car.
Only our breathing and the sound of the engine remained.


Neha looked at me again. Her voice was low but sharp.

NEHA
Are you sure?
He was vlogging.

I swallowed.

SAM
Yes. I heard him clearly.

She turned fully toward me.

NEHA
What did you hear?

I hesitated for a second, then said it.

SAM
He said,
“Today we are going to meet this cuck couple we were talking about.
Are you guys excited?”

There was a beat of silence.

Neha’s eyes went wide.

NEHA
FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.

She slammed her hand on the dashboard.

The word echoed inside the car, heavier than the engine noise.

I notice water in Neha’s eyes.
Not just tears, but shock. Hurt. Disbelief.

NEHA
How can he do this to us?
We trusted him so much.

Her voice shakes. Mine does too, but I try to keep it steady.

SAM
I know.

She looks at me, searching for a reason. Any reason.

NEHA
But why?
Why would he do this?

I stare at the road, thinking hard.

SAM
Maybe he’s already a big content creator.
And remember our rule. We never shared pictures with our faces.

Neha frowns, confused, trying to understand.

NEHA
But… he was going to get much more than that.
If he hadn’t done this.

I tighten my grip on the steering wheel.

SAM
Views, baby.
For this generation, it’s everything.
Likes. Followers. Fame. That’s all that matters now.

Neha shakes her head slowly.

NEHA
And he didn’t even seem 25.
I told you not to go for someone so young.
Always choose someone mature—

Her voice cracks.

She doesn’t finish the sentence.

Instead, she breaks down.
Her crying is loud and raw, filling the car. No control left.

I pull the car aside and reach for her. I hold her close.

SAM
It’s okay.
Never mind.
It’s all over now.

I kiss her forehead.

SAM
We are safe.
Let’s just go home.

Trying to comfort her, I speak without thinking.

SAM
We’ll take more care next time.

Neha pulls away sharply. Her eyes are red.

NEHA
What?
Next time???

The words hit me instantly. I know I messed up.

SAM
No, no… that’s not what I meant.
Forget it. Never mind.

I start the car again.

The engine hums softly as we move forward.
The road is dark. The silence between us is heavy.

Some mistakes don’t need punishment.
They already leave their mark.
