The Proposal - OS

Genre : Romantic

THE PROPOSAL!

This OS is dedicated to al my lovely readers, I don't know if I ll win, but I am happy that I participated.. !! This is a continuation of the current Sandhir track but a slight change. FITE is in Mumbai in my OS not in Rourkee 😉.. So here I go with my OS!

Randhir, was sitting beside her for the past "God Knows" how many hours, holding her hand. He was hell worried seeing her wound. He almost forgot about his wound as well. For him, it was never about him, it was all about Sanyukta, the first love of his life, probably the last too. His lips desperately wanted to kiss her hand. It was quite hard for him to control his emotions "Yeh ladki ne kya halat bana diya mera!", he wondered. Just when he was debating within himself, Sanyukta opened her eyes. Randhir was staring at a blank space, his eyes said a lot, his care for her. She kept looking at him, she could feel the way he felt. Gosh, he is so concerned about me!

"Why is it him all the time? Why does he stand up for me every damn time? Leave him, Why was I worried about him, when actually I myself was in danger?" so many questions popped out in Sanyukta's head to which she had no clue, answers were a far dream. Too many thoughts, landed her in pain. "Ouch!" she cried, which brought Randhir back to reality.


"Sanyukta! Are you okay? Is it paining so much? Should I call the doctor? No No let me do the first aid, No better I ll call the doctor.." Randhir just couldnt stop talking. "Randhir relax please, mein thik hun!" Sanyukta calmed him down. He went running to the Medicine rack and pulled out almost all the medicines. By then, the doctor was already there. He was checking Sanyuka's health. Randhir went running upto him and handed him all the medicines he had grabbed. "Doctor yeh lijiye! Please ise thik kar dijiye aap" Doctor gave him a weird look, "Randhir, she is totally fine, use kuch nahi hua hai.. Agar woh yeh sab legi tabhi bimar pad jayegi so just relax and calm down" Doctor said that with a smile and turned to Sanyukta..

"Sanyukta you are completely alright. Woh marks b jaldi gayab ho jayenge. Dont worry and yeah you need some fresh air. Just get out in the open and have some fun. Randhir if possible, take her out, she ll feel better" Randhir felt like kissing him at that instant for giving such an awesome idea. Finally, we ll be out of FITE for a while and I ll get a chance to propose her, his heart jumped in joy. Randhir went out with the doctor to get more details.

Sanyukta saw the happiness in Randhir's face when the doctor suggested them to go on a date.. Wait a minute!! DATE? Did I call it DATE? Whats wrong with me? "Nothing is wrong with you, it is only now you have started to think about yourself" someone spoke from within her.. What? You mean to sayy?? "Yes I mean to say you are in love damn it!" I can only love machines, not humans, she argued..  "Haan aur Randhir b Insaan nahi hai! He is a machine himself. Chalta phirta machine, totally in love with you."  No way, he doesnt like girls.. "Oh for Gods sake! Tum b girls category nahi aati ho yaar!" But I dont know if I am in love with him "Can you see him hurt? Dont you miss him badly these days even when your whole team is around? Aren't you happy seeing him happy? If the answer is all this is yes, then it means you are in love" Sanyukta knew the answer, it was YES.

Everything that has been happening between them for the past couple of weeks, flashed in front of her. He had made it look very obvious, I was the one who kept my eyes shut. Damn! He is in love with me.. But is he really in love with me?  Care and love, are they two different things? Sanyukta was confused, she decided to test him.

Randhir entered the room with a cute smile on his face "Sanyukta come on. Get refreshed, we ll go out" Randhir helped her get up from the bed " Okay Randhir ! you too go and get ready! I ll see u in 15 mins" Randhir turned to leave when sanyukta called again

Sanyu: Randhir whats ur favorite colour?

Randhir: Mine? Its blue

Sanyu: I supposed you should be asking me the same!

Randhir: Oh yeah, whats yours?

Sanyu: Pink, she teased

Randhir: Oh pink.. Nice colour.. I ll be back in 10 mins. He left the place

I have heard guys in love will try to impress their girls by wearing their favorite colours. Let me see what Mr. Shekawat does, she winked.

Sanyukta rushed to her room, took out a blue top, and got ready almost in 5 mins. She was waiting for him to come. Finally, he did, Sanyukta was astonished to see him, in WHITE!! This guy never stops surprising me, but then, a thought struck her mind, Guys normally do this to impress their girl, but this guy is as pure as his love. He never does anything deliberately to impress me. Everything he does is so damn genuine. She was already in love with him.

Lets go! She said. They drove all the way, to Marine Drive, Randhir was feeling awesome with sanyukta by his side. Such a pleasant bike ride it was, with cool breeze caressing their faces. Sanyukta had her hand on his shoulders, everytime, he drove fast, she buried her hand deep inside. Randhir was loving it..Finally, they reached Marine Drive. While they were walking, so many guys were admiring sanyukta, Randhir kept them all away by one look of his. It didnt go unnoticed, she was enjoying it.

Randhir and Sanyukta sat on a rock. It was almost 7 PM, Sun was long gone.. Randhir decided he would somehow propose his girl right here, he wouldnt get a such a chance ever again. He started off with a casual talk about machines, she was so engrossed in it. In a while, it became a convo of two people deeply in love with machines. He finally gained some courage, stood up, looked above, prayed to God. Sanyukta stood up too, she was admiring the beauty of the sea. When she turned, he was down on his knees.. He was about to talk when she interrupted.

Sanyukta: Randhir get up! Kahin b bait jaate ho? Its not clean, uto!

Randhir was shocked, what is the deal with him and proposal? Why is it like this always? He stood up and turned, "Aur nahi hoga mujhse! Not anymore today.. Kisi aur din" he said to himself. When he was about to take a step forward, she called him

Randhirrr!

Randhir looked back and was even more shocked to find Sanyukta on her knees. She held out a ring in front of him and said "Can I be yours and Will you be Mine Randhir? I know you must be feeling weird. But I cant help it, I had to do this. After all I am in love with a Machine himself, I have to be like this. I know its not a conventional way of proposing, normally a guy does and the girl approves! But then, the things happened between us so far wasnt conventional either. I challenged you in everything be it studies, be it something else, Pyaar me kaise takkar nahi deti?  I dont know when exactly I fell in love with you, but all I know is I am in and will be forever."

Randhir stood there unmoved in shock, while she continued

"Randhir please dont scare me by that look of yours. I am hoping you wont reject me. Ab please accept b karlo, my knees are aching" she made a puppy face.

Randhir lifted her up and hugged her tight, tears rolled down his cheeks, happy tears "I love you Sanyukta, I love you so much.. Thanks for coming in my life. I cant imagine a life without you. I love you, these three words are definitely not even a inch closer to express my love for you. I ll be yours forever and ever and ever" He got emotional. They stood there hugging for more than a minute.

Sanyukta could not see him emotional anymore, she slowly broke the hug and said "Randhir isnt it supposed to be a romantic date. Itni boring kyun bana rahe ho? Offo Sab kuch mujhe hi batana padega kya? chalo kiss karo mujhe.." She showed him her cheek, and closed her eyes.

Randhir pulled her close by her waist, turned her face towards him, and brushed his lips on hers, slowly immersed himself in a long deep kiss. She held him tight. It made her realize how much he loved her. She slightly opened her eyes to catch a glimpse of him. He was all lost in her. She wished, this kiss never ended, like their love for each other.

Always Be Mine - Part 31

Part 31:

Sanyukta could feel her soul being taken out by him, she lost her breath, no complaints whatsoever.. She was truly madly deeply in love with him.. She just made a secret wish "Kaash yeh lamhe aise hi tham jaye..Nahi aana hai bahar mujhe.. Umar bar ki yeh saza de do mujhe khuda.. Aur kuch nahi maangungi kabhi".. It was a sweet kiss, he didnt want to harm her by kissing wildly, he was being mild with her.. Sanyukta placed her hands, in his face and pushed him back a bit, her lips still longing for his kiss. Their foreheads rested on each other, without opening their eyes, sanyukta was the first one to break the silence.

S: Randhiiirr!! she called his name, it sounded very cute..

R: Hmmmm.. his eyes were still closed.

S: Yeh kya kar diya tumne?

R: Kaha tha na meine.. Punishment hai.. He hardly manage to talk, rain drops dripping from their foreheads..

S: Agar yeh punishment hai, toh mein zindagi bar haarna pasand karungi..

Sanyukta could not believe she actually said that.. She didnt stop there yet, she continued "Randhir mujhe yeh punishment ek aur baar mil sakta hai kya?"

Randhir opened his eyes, to see his angel smiling at her naughtily.. Before his mind could process what was happening, she initiated a long hard kiss once again.. Randhir slowly responded to her and they ended up kissing like two mad passionate lovers. Images of them kissing in their lab flashed before them, Sanyukta slapped him, he wanted revenge, Randhir wanted only revenge, "Kaise prove karun is ladki ko ki mein kitna nafrat karta hun isse" he kissed her forcefully, he showed how much he hated her, she was no less, she wanted to payback,"Mein b tumse kum nafrat nahi karti Randhir.. Ab dekho jo tu ne diya hai, use mein wapas kaise deti hun" she kissed him back, let out all her vengeance. If Randhir and Sanyukta could kiss each other so wildly just to show their anger, one can imagine how they would have been kissing each other while they were madly in love.

Their deep kiss was broken, by their smiles, Randhir and Sanyukta smiled, leaning on each other, their smiles soon turned into a laughter. While laughing, Randhir looked at sanyukta, she was looking like an angel laughing.. He always wanted her to be that way. Randhir looked up and prayed "Hey Khuda.. Mere hisse ki b khushiyon ise hi de dena, woh khush rahegi toh mein automatically khush rahunga.. Aur kuch nahi maangunga aapse" He looked at his angel, his heart sang "Tu ki jaane pyaar mera, mein karan intezaar tera, tu dil tu yun jaan meri, mein tennu samjhawan ki, na tere bina lagda jee.."

Randhir slowly moved to her side,  Sanyukta never thought she could ever get wet in the rain but there she was dancing in the rain.. Randhir held her hands, she was surprised by his touch. When she turned, he was on his knees..

"Sanyukta! Aaj mere paas ring nahi hai tumhe propose karne ke liye. Kharidha toh tha, par pata nahi kahi ghum ho gaya.. Ring nahi hai toh kya hua, mein hun na..Tumhe pata hai na, mujhe romantic baatein karna nahi aata.. aur na hi kabhi koshish karunga..Mujhe toh bas jo mere man me hai woh bolna hai.. Agar woh romantic lage toh thik hai, nahi toh please adjust kar lena..

Kab se kehne ki koshish kar raha hun par jab b tum mere paas aati ho, sab kuch bhul jaata hun.. I never know when I fell in love with you.. Tumhe kisi aur ke saat kabhi nahi dekh paunga. Isse behetar mein mar jaun..  Mujhe nahi pata tum mere baare me kya sochti ho, tumhe shayad yakeen b nahi ho raha hoga.. But let me tell you something.. I can proudly challenge you that no one ever in this world can love anyone as much as I do. I might not be the perfect person for you, but I am not the worst for you either. I cannot promise you all happiness in your life, but I can keep you away from all your sorrows. Jitna pyar mein tumse karta hun utna shayad tum b nahi kar paogi mujhse. All I want from you is thoda sa pyaar aur thodu sa trust. I trust you completely sanyukta. Kabhi mere saath mat chodna..Tum hi ho mera pehla pehla pyaar aur akhri bhi.. le, mere dil tumhari hawale kar diya meine" He pointed at his heart, made a cute gesture as if he has taken his heart out and placed it in her hand..

Sanyukta was stunned to see Randhir that way.. She has never seen him go down in front of anyone. It is so not him. But the moment she saw that sight, she knew how much loved her, words werent necessary to explain what she felt for him..Sanyukta could trust only one person in the whole world now, Randhir Singh Shekawat, who was her world now. Her world revolves around Randhir.. How did I stay away from this guy for so long? Why did I not let him come in my life much earlier? The answers were, Oh yes, I am deeply in love with him, I have gone mad, insane... He is mine, only mine and I ll always be his's, she thought..

Sanyukta looked at Randhir who was still kneeling down in front of her, his eyes curiously searching for an approval in her eyes. Sanyukta broke down in tears, Randhir's heart broke.. why is she crying? Sanyukta kya hua? he got tensed. She left his hand and started running away from the place.

Randhir was totally shocked to see her go away from him.. He did not know what was happening around him.. He went numb...

Always Be Mine - Part 30

Part 30:

Even the back seat of his bike felt so blessed, he never allowed anyone to sit behind him.. It was always him and only him in the bike all alone.. But today it was special, Sanyukta was not only the first girl to enter his heart, she was the first ever girl to sit in his bike along with him.. Sanyukta, sitting behind was admiring her Randhir, her MCP.. "Tum itne dino se Kahan the Randhir, mere zindagi me Pehle Kyun nahi aaya tum? Mein b na, tum yahi mere paas hi they do saalon se phir b mein samaj nahi payi... Machine tum nahi machine mein hun!!" She wanted to hug him by his waist, her hands were pleading her so badly.. Randhir was looking at her every now and then, through the mirror.. She had left her hair loose, he always loved to see her in open hair.. She looked like an angel.. He wiped his mirror, that had raindrops blocking his vision, so that he could see Sanyukta clearly.. Randhir looked up a bit and said to himself "Please Aaj koi gadbad mat kar dena baba ji! I am going to tell her everything, just everything.. Hum jaa toh rahe hai Randhir aur Sanyukta banke, pas Wapas Sandhir banke ayenge!" He promised..

Randhir was driving the bike very carefully, he maintained a normal speed.. He neither drove rashly nor too slowly.. When he was busy admiring Sanyukta, he missed to notice a small pit in the road.. His bike gave a huge jerk when he unknowingly drove into it.. Sanyukta hugged him tight, it was as if she was waiting for such an opportunity.. She did not want to miss it.. She had decided to live every moment of it.. For the first time in her life, she felt at she loved Randhir more than the machines.. For Sanyukta it was always her dream first, but today she realized Randhir was way above her dreams.. He could put his life in danger for her, and she could easily sacrifice her dream for him.. Sanyukta did not let the hug end, she kept hugging him, her head resting on his back and her hands caressed the place where his heart resides.. She could feel his heart beat.. Randhir blushed, he had butterflies in his stomach.. They were living the moment to the core..

Drizzle came down heavier and it started pouring down.. Randhir could not drive anymore.. He parked his bike in a corner.. Sanyukta broke the hug finally and got down his bike.. They were looking for a shelter.. It seemed an empty place where they could find only a small roof in a corner.. Randhir guided Sanyukta to the place, he made her stand inside and let himself get wet in the rain.. When he turned, Sanyukta grabbed his hand and pulled him inside, In a place where only one could stand.. Rain droplets were dripping from his wet hair, it fell on her face, dripped down and reached her lips, when she looked up, he was staring at her..

Sanyukta could hardly manage to look at him for a minute, he did something to her soul.. He was swallowing her just by his looks.. Randhir slowly took his hand near her lips and wiped it off, his eyes could only manage to look at her.. His body, mind and soul everything surrendered in front of her.. Even after wiping he couldn't take his hands off her lips, he kept caressing it for a while.. Sanyukta felt she could die any moment now of blushing.. They hadn't spoken a word since they left, but who needs words when their hearts are perfectly in sync.. Sanyukta gathered courage and tried speaking a little, while Randhir placed his finger on her lips and nodded his head in a No....

They shared an intense eye lock.. Their intentions weren't wrong, after all they were two pure souls soaked in love.. Randhir decided to go for it.. He went closer, pulled her a bit, tilted his head and caressed her lips with his's !! It was a slight smooch, such that even their lips hadn't realized that they were touching each other's .. Their intimacy was disturbed by a noise, an ice-cream seller.. Randhir held himself back and thought "What was I upto! Was I about to kiss her? Yeh koi place hai kiss Karne ka?" He hated himself, for making her feel embarrassed..

Sanyukta cursed her fate, he was about to kiss me, but my fate never allows me to be happy even for a minute.. They exchanged a weird look.. Next moment Sanyukta went out in the rain, she stretched her hands out and was feeling the rain.. Randhir smiled a bit at her innocence.. She came back, dragged him to the ice-cream seller and said "Bhaiya do ice cream dena plz!" Randhir was shocked , " Tum pagal ho gayi ho kya? Sanyukta ice-cream? Baarish me? I can't believe this!" "Randhir toh karke Dekho!!" Ice-cream seller gave them the ice cream and moved away quickly from the place, he did not want to be a "kabab me haddi" anymore!!

Sanyukta ate her ice-cream like a kid, Randhir was staring at her with an almost melted ice-cream in his hand.. She signalled him to eat, he did reluctantly, and the next moment made a weird face as if the ice cream wasn't good.. Sanyukta grabbed it from his hand, tasted it and said, "Thik toh hai! Kya hua tumhe? Acha nahi laga kya?" She was having a mouthful of ice-cream.. She asked him liked a kid.. Randhir went forward, grabbed the ice-cream from her hand, dropped it down.. Sanyukta was confused.. He kept getting closer, pulled her by her waist, went closer, he could almost feel her breath.. Next moment, he was experiencing the real taste of the ice-cream.. Yes, in her lips.. Sanyukta held him tight, they kissed, kissed and kissed... Rain got heavier, lighter, heavier.. But their kiss never ended.. They were so lost into each other, so was their lips..

Always Be Mine - Part 29

Part 29:

Dream Team decided to spend the rest of the night in the village, after which they would set out for FITE early in the morning. A task well finished, they were all happy and so was Sanyukta. This village was so special, it made her realize his love for her. Sanyukta kept thinking about Randhir, she could not sleep, neither she was wanted to. At his place, Randhir was so confused..

"Kahan gayab ho sakta hai woh letter aur ring.. kitne pyaar se likha tha meine, shit, ek backup copy nahi rakha meine.. Randhir tu buddhu hai, phir se aise letter kaise likhoge tum? Its mission impossible.. Mechanical Engineering ka 4th year question b solve kar dunga, par ek aur love letter likhna mere liye toh impossible hai..Better Sanyukta se khud jaake bata deta hun.. Tu? Sanyukta se baat karega? woh b pyaar bari baatein? Shakal dekh apni, Romance ki R b nahi aata hai tujhe.. Uski aankein dekhke tu usse I love you Sanyukta ke jagah I love you sister bol dega... Bada aaya pyar bari baatein karne wala" Randhir was talking to himself, facing the mirror. Sanyukta who was listening to this convo, from outside the tent, couldnt stop herself from laughing.. She closed her mouth tight with her hands, ran towards her tent and burst out laughing..

"Randhir tum kitne cute ho.. My God, I felt like pulling your cheeks right away..Randhir I know I cant live without you, I love you so much par har ladki yahi chahti hai ki ladka pehle propose kare.. I am not an exception either..Atleast isme toh mein ladkiyon ki tarah behave karna chahti hun... Mr. Randhir Singh Shekawat, khud aake mujhse propose kare yeh sapna hai meri. I ll make sure you do it, I know yeh tumhare liye mission impossible hai but I ll provoke you in every way possible and make sure you confess your feelings for me" she winked..

Sanyukta and Randhir both lost in own world, fell asleep without their knowledge.. Next morning, they were on their way to FITE.. By afternoon, they reached, everyone except Randhir and Sanyukta rushed to their rooms, they badly needed some rest.. Randhir came closer to Sanyukta, she was tensed " Kahin yeh abhi toh propose nahi karne wala hai?" He came more closer and whispered in her ears. she closed her eyes, what if its FITE? Finally Randhir propose toh karne hi wala hai! She was happy inside.. He said " Sanyukta, mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai. lets have some noodles, chalo" God, unbelievable hai yeh ladka. Mein propose karne ki wait kar rahi thi aur isko noodles ki padi hai!! Sanyukta gave him a loud stare and left the place immediately. Randhir was confused again, Ab kya ho gaya isko..Ladkiyan b na, meri samaj mein bilkul nahi aati..

Randhir went to his room where he saw Parth and Jiggy already asleep. He wasnt able to sleep. He took his phone out dialed sanyuktas number, before it could connect, he disconnected the call, this routine continued for a couple of times. "Randhir paaji ladkiyon ke piche hum nahi ladkiyan hamare piche bhagne chahiye" he remembered hearing someone saying that to him. He kept the phone beside the table. Sanyukta was lying upside down in her bed, with her mobile in front of her, she was expecting it to ring anytime. She just wished to see his image flash on her mobile screen along with his name. "Randhir please call kar do na, Acha okay let me count till 10.. Agar tumne 10 count hone se pehle call kar diya iska matlab tum mujhse pyaar karte ho.. let me count 1........2........3...............4...............5...............6............7....................8.................9..........Randhir last chance kar do call abhi.....................10.. Isne toh call hi nahi kiya.. Haan toh kya, 10 se pehle call karta toh iska matlab woh mujhse pyaar karta hai, warna woh mujhse sirf pyaar nahi, beintehaa pyaar karta hai!!!! Suna hai meine pyaar me log pagal ho jaate hain par kabhi yeh nahi socha ki khud mein ho jaungi pagal ek din" she smiled to herself.. Sanyukta just couldnt believe what magic has love done to her. She was loving every bit of it..

While she was busy blushing, her phone beeped with a text message " Sanyukta, meet me outside at 8 PM tonight.." It was Randhir, her Randhir.. Her happiness knew no bounds when she saw that text message from him. 8 PM Outside? Par Kyun? Kahin fir se noodles ke baare me baat kiya toh, she took her phone and replied

Sanyu: "8 PM but why?"

Randhir: Bina Sawal puche kuch nahi kar sakti ho kya tum?

Sanyu: Aise hi puchungi, batao tum abhi

Randhir: Tumhari punishment abhi baaki hai, yaad hai na?

Sanyukta realized what he was referring to.. She had lost the bet the day before they set out to this village. He had promised a punishment for her. She was ready

Sanyu: Haan yaad hai, kahan aana hai batao..

Randhir: Gate ke bahar milo, sharp 8 PM

Sanyu: Ok ! See you!

Sanyukta glanced at the watch.. It was only 6 still 2 hours left.. But then, it was her first official date with him.. She had to look special. She planned to murder him just by her looks. "Aaj Randhir ke muh se woh 3 words sunke rahungi!" she promised to herself. She went through the cupboard, pulled all the dress and finally settled for a blue kurta. Randhir once said, she looked like a girl in that attire. He loved to see her in traditional wears, for the first time in her life, she wanted to look beautiful, special and stunning. She had never felt this way before. By the time, she finished, it was already 7:55 PM. "Oh My God! Did I take 2 hours to get ready? It is definitely not me! Yeh Randhir ne kya kar diya! Ab late nahi ho sakti.. I have to be there on time" She left her room and started running towards the gate.

Sanyukta reached the gate, exactly at 8 PM, by then he was already there.. She wanted to kill him by her looks, but instead she became the victim.. Dressed in white, he looked nothing less than those handsome hollywood heroes. Actually, he looked better than them. Randhir Singh Shekawat, was the perfect guy any girl in this world would die for. When she reached, Randhir gave her a quick look and said " Lets go!" he started his bike.. Sanyukta was still staring at him unmoving.. Randhir realized that she hasnt yet sat, he looked back, she wasnt even blinking. He came near her and shook her by her shoulders, "Sanyukta, Are you okay? " She immediately wanted to say "No I am not" but then, she couldnt. "I am fine Randhir, chalo"

Sanyukta sat on his bike, she never bothered to ask where they were heading to, what was her punishment, when would they be back.. All she wanted at that moment, was his company.. To travel with him like that, she could lose thousand bets everyday. Randhir kick started his bike and they were on their way. Sanyukta placed her hand on his shoulders, he looked back a little and smiled...

Sanyukta said to herself "Please Randhir Aaj apni dil ki baat keh dena mujhse, I promise I ll never ask anything from you ever again.. Please fulfil this wish of mine!"

In a while, a slight drizzle came down to greet their new found love, which was soon to transform into a storm...

Always Be Mine - Part 28

Part 28:

"Did I just hear Sanyukta's voice? Sach me?" Randhir had gone through so much in the past few hours that he failed to distinguish between reality and dream. The guy, who felt two pistols nudging his head, turned slowly to take a look to whom it was and so did Randhir..

It was SANYUKTA and PARTH... "Randhir ko shoot Karega tu, How dare you!!!!"  Sanyukta fumed in anger. She couldn't even bear the thought of someone threatening Randhir, her Randhir. The guy, thought "Sirf yeh dono hai na, signal karke baakiyon ke bula leta Hun, fir dekhte hai yeh log kya karte hai!!" He whistled once, looked all over, there were no signs of anyone coming from any of the directions. He did again, not even a leaf moved.. He looked at them cautiously, Sanyukta smiled, folded her fingers, kept in her lip and let out a loud whistle.. Next moment, the whole village lit up with lights, almost all the villagers were gathered in a circle. They seemed to have witnessed everything that had happened. Few of them still couldn't believe that they could see each other clearly even at night, Electricity was like a magic and the Dream Team were the Magicians, headed by the head Magician Vardhan Suryavanshi!

Prof. Vardhan was looking at his troop like a proud man.. They always made him feel proud, and today was no exception. When he saw the whole village in front of him, he had no option other than surrendering himself. In a while, Jiggy and Sahil along with few villagers dragged his other men in the gang and presented them before the crowd. All the while, Randhir and Sanyukta were starig at each other.. "Meri Angel aakhir aa hi gayi apni pati parmeshwar ko bachane..." Randhir blushed wherein Sanyukta had other ideas in her mind..

Vardhan started talking, " Meri Dream Team ko bekar samajne wala koi bewakoof hi Hoga, jab se meri team ne yahan khatam rakha hai, Usi moment se Kaam Karna shuru kar diya hai.. They didn't need my intervention. Nor did I question their intentions. I was damn sure they ll make me proud and here they are.." He pointed at Randhir

Randhir took over from him, "I knew from Day One, all that were going on here was just a way to keep the villagers at bay.. When we spoke to them about this whole ghost wala incident, all they said was "they had witnessed a lady in white saree often doing rounds near the tree" I felt quite amused to hear that.. Barso beet Gaye, fir b Saare bhoot Sirf white saree hi pehenke kyun ghumte hai.. Unka dress code hai kya, white saree? Agar ghumna hi hai, toh Sirf ped ke paas kyun, village ke streets pe kyun nahi, woh b 6 PM ke baad? It didn't take much long for me to realize that someone was just fooling around these innocent people, taking full advantage of their illiteracy.. Is liye hum sab milke yeh decide kiya Ki Pehle electricity layenge yahan. We very well knew whomever was doing this, had gotten a bit scared due to our arrival, is liye they ll not be able to operate as freely as earlier. We took advantage of this, we made all the parts that were required to generate the electricity and arrived here almost every night to set it up. We succeeded in doing so.. A big thanks goes to my team Sanyukta Parth Jiggy Sahil Kaustuki and Vidushi.. Last but not the least, Vardhan sir, unke bina toh hum Kuch b nahi hai..

We were planning to launch a surprise attack tonight.. You can very well ask me then why did I come here all alone, without my team. It's not that I don't trust my team. Being the captain, I wanted to make sure I stay ahead of my team. I cannot let anything happen to them. God forbid, our country can lose one engineer, rather than losing a bunch of talented folks.. Anyways, meine bata diya, Ab tu apna muh khol.. Apne hi village ke logon ko itna bada Dhokha Tum kaise de sakte ho? Tumhe yeh sab karte hue Bilkul b Sharam nahi aaya kya? I know very well, all kind of illusions(Vidushi, Arpita,Vardhan sir) we saw were fake.. Would you mind explaining sir? Randhir poked the guy..

His head was down in shame, he slowly opened up... " I was once a very rich person, but due to my bad habits I lost all my wealth, respect and honour. I decided to get them all back but couldn't think of a straight way to do that.. Only way to earn money overnight, was through the short cut.. I made this forest my den, I have all kinds of illegal business going on here.. Right from smuggling goods to prostitution.. I cannot do these things in public, I had to put up a mask, hide my face, hence became the village head. I very well knew if these guys were to introduced to modern technology and education, I would not be able to succeed in my plans. So I had to keep them in dark, I made few of my gang members to stay in the village and spread rumors saying ghost existed in this village. To make them believe, we once even a killed an innocent girl from the village and hung her up the tree.. All started from that point.. People started believing me, tree became the milestone, nobody dared to enter the forest. I made sure the whole village shut themselves up after 6 PM. Many of the organizations came and went, even the police department failed to solve the mystery. I was the only KING of the village, but then it was until you guys landed here. I never wanted to make the mistake of taking you guys lightly. Sent my team to do a complete investigation on you guys. The info the came up with surprised me.. I very well knew you people are smart enough not to believe the white sareed ghost.. I came to know about few facts like " Parth had a dead girlfriend named Arpita, Vardhans dead girlfriend Niharika" still I wanted to play it safe, hence sent out two of my girls(who were also mask experts) to scare you both. They were good enough in making Parth believe that it was Arpita, I didn't want to take a chance with you so sent out a girl who had mask of vidushi(I knew you don't like her so wouldn't come near her, hence eliminating the fear of getting caught) I never dared to take a chance with Vardhan, hence I got into a mask of Vardhan and scared you both the other night.. I actually thought, if I scare you guys, girls will automatically get scared. But No, I was wrong, totally wrong.. You guys are the best, I am screwed! Finally, I wanna apologize to all my fellow villagers, I am really sorry! Please never forgive me!" He finished


Vardhan: Nobody's ever gonna forgive you for what you did..

Villagers came closer in a hurry as if to kill him on the spot, Randhir and Parth stopped them and guarded him.. Randhir spoke again..

"I know you people are hell disappointed with this guy over here, whom you trusted so much. But then, I wouldn't call him totally responsible for whatever happened. You people are equally responsible for the mess. Woh kahani banate Gaya aur tum log sunte reh Gaye.. Ek baar bhi yeh nahi Socha ki Aakhir yeh Sab Sach hai ki nahi.. Kabhi Jaanne ki koshish kiye kya tum logon ne! Agar kiya hota, to Aaj kisi Dream team ki Zaroorat hi nahi padta. Hamse upar Ek force hai woh sirf aur sirf Bhagwan hai, koi bhut preth nahi hota.. Hota toh sirf hamare dil me aur dimaag me.."

"Jis dil me sacha pyaar ho, wahan bhut preth ke liye koi jagah hi nahi hota.. Mera b dil me tha yeh bhut, par jabse pyaar karna shuru kiya tabse mere dil me sirf woh Rab rehta hai.. " Randhir looked at Sanyukta with a lovely smirk, she couldn't take his eyes off him.. How did I even survive all these years without her, Gosh, I wasted 19 years of my life, he thought..

Parth who noticed this, coughed a little and said "Please tum log chinta mat karna ab.. He ll be soon handed over to the police.. We will make sure to bring all the basic facilities in this village.. It's like a second home for us.. Electricity is taken care, now we ll help you in getting a school here, so that you people get exposed to education.. " Just then, he was talking, police arrived there and took the culprit with them.. Secret hideaways and the illegal stuff in the forest were sealed.. Villagers thanked the Dream team, they were very emotional, they felt it was as if they got independence only a few mins back. All of them left the place, leaving behind Mr & Mrs Shekawat!!

Sanyukta went near Randhir angrily and caught him by his shirt collar, " Apne aap ko samajte kya ho tum? Super hero? God? Kyun chale aaye Aise? Kabhi Socha hai tum ne, mere baare me? Kyun Randhir Kyun kiya Tumne aisa? Agar tumhe Kuch ho jaata toh?" She was fuming in anger.. He was busily drowning in her love, her care, Damn she is concerned about me!!

Randhir freed his collar slowly, took his hand near his ears, and made "Kaan pakadke maafi" wala sorry sign. She burst out laughing seeing that, tears rolling down her cheeks, she flew into his arms and hugged him tight.. He hugged her back, and kissed her head.. He suddenly remembered something, he pulled her away and said "Sanyukta Tumne Sab Kuch pad liya na!"

Sanyukta wiped her tears like a kid and asked "Kya? Mein Kuch samjhi nahi!"

Randhir was tensed, "Sanyukta woh tumhe woh mili nahi kya? Woh? Wahi? Tent me Kuch nahi mila kya?"

"Mila na, Bahut saare machar!! Aur Kuch nahi.. Tum kis baare me baat kar rahe ho?" She gave him a closer look..

God letter aur ring nahi mila ise, Kahan gaya hoga!! Kahi Vidushi toh nahi!!! Randhir was confused and Sanyukta gave him a naughty smile... She had something else in her mind for Mr. Randhir Singh Shekawat!

Always Be Mine - Part 27

Part 27:

Randhir heard some feeble noise coming from somewhere very close to him. He tried concentrating hard. It was pitch dark and hence It made it even more difficult for him to look through. He slowly took out his camera, and placed it in one of the branches and turned on the night mode. Even if something ever is to happen to him, there ll be some proof captured in this camera, he thought. He couldn't even dare moving, coz pin drop silence prevailed everywhere. The noise was actually someone's voice, it kept coming closer. "Does ghosts normally talk? Will there be a normal conversation between them?" he wondered.

Randhir was looking all around the place, he could only hear the voices, but couldnt spot anyone. Suddenly, the tree shook itself wildly as if it was about to explode. It did send a chill feeling across his spine "What the hell is happening? Is it an earthquake?" he tried reasoning. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the bottom part of the tree opened up like a door. Two men came out of it, one was tall and lean, the other one was dark and stout. They resembled the bad guys in Bollywood movies. It took a while for Randhir to realize that it wasnt actually a tree, but a setup made for a hidden contact with some other place possibly.

Randhir was closely listening to their conversation. Lets address these Bad guys as BG1 and BG2.

BG1: Hmmm so finally, we are going to get rid of them..

BG2: Yes, What kind of a Dream Team they are. Since, Day 1 they are only dreaming in their respective tents. Initially I even feared they might crack this down. Thank God, such a dumbos they are.

BG1: Arey Thank God nahi, thank Ghossttt, the black guy laughed and

BG2: The way that guy. what was his name, ahh Randhir, ran from this place this morning made me burst with laughter, such a coward he is, same way his useless dream team will run soon. Do you still wanna go by the plan?

BG1: I dont wanna take any risk anymore. I want them all dead by tonight

BG2: Where the hell is she? How long should we wait here? Ek kaam diya tha woh b thik se nahi kar sakti.. Pata nahi kahan reh gayi.

Randhir clenched his fist in anger, how dare they? how dare they will want to kill my Dream Team.

Just when they were conversing about that mysterious "she", they noticed a sudden movement in the forest. Someone was slowly moving towards them. Randhir was keen to know the woman who was assigned to kill his Dream Team. She came out and hugged the black guy, "Sorry I am late" she said.

Randhir's eyes popped out when he actually realized who the mysterious woman was. She was none other than "SUJI", sweet and simple girl, he met the other day, whom he saw hanging from the tree right in front of his eyes that very morning. Randhir could hardly believe his eyes, Am I dreaming? Is she a ghost? I saw her dead but how come she is alive?

Thousands of questions popped up in his head. While he was still wondering, the woman said "Dont worry everything is under control at our place. Let me now go and finish the task thats pending for a long time. Dream Team, your game is over"

Randhir couldnt think of anything else, he couldnt let his team be in danger, especially Sanyukta. Neither did he worry about his life nor did he about the task, all he wanted at that moment was his teams safety and his love's. Before the woman could turn, he jumped down from the tree and stood in front of her.

Suji and the other two, stood there in shock. Randhir gazed them with fiery eyes, he had not even a trace of fear in his eyes.

R: Tum wahi thi na jo mere team ke aas paas batak rahi thi? My whole team is still mourning your fake death. How could you betray us? Tum log mere team ko harm karoge? And tumhe kya laga mein aisa hone dunga?

Before they could react, Randhir gave a hard punch on the black guys face, when the other retorted, another punch landed on his stomach. Everytime the thought of Sanyukta in danger struck him, the punches landed even more deadly. How dare you guys plan to kill my love!!! Don't you dare near her! If u even think of harming her I am going to KILL you.. He was fighting like an obsessed person. In almost 5 minutes, both of them were down and out in the ground. Randhir took a heavy object lying beside(small sized rock) and was about to drop it on their heads, just then someone, placed a pistol on his head.

"Don't act over smart Mr. Randhir Singh Shekhawat! If u do, then be ready to lose your loved ones" a voice came from behind.. Randhir dropped the rock and turned back. He was fatally astonished to see the person, he was none other than the village's head. Dream team met him the day they landed here. Then he seemed a nice man, well built but now his true colours were out. He was the one who kept his fellow villagers in dark in order to do all kinds of illegal trades mostly after 6 PM. He ruled the forest like a king keeping his villagers at bay. He fooled them everyday by all types of ghastly stories and they kept getting fooled. While Randhir was still astonished he spoke,

"Randhir Singh Shekawat, Topper of FITE, I have heard quite a lot about you. You love challenges right! So let's play it your way! I ll give you two options! Either u die and your team survives or your team dies and you survive! Choose ur pick!!"

Randhir, had he be not given an option, still he would only choose his team over him, Nah, he ll be a bit selfish, he ll choose Sanyukta over him. For him, to live a damn life without Sanyukta meant nothing more than a trash.

Randhir thought to himself "Isse behatar mein mar Jaun uske liye.. Pyaar me Log kehte hain na, mein tumhare liye Kuch b karunga jaan bhi dunga and all, u know what's the difference between them and me? Zyada nahi hai Sanyukta!! Sirf Itna ki woh log sirf kehte hain par mein KARUNGA!! Tumhare liye Kuch bhi karun toh yeh jaan kya cheez hai!! Yeh pyaar b kitne ajeeb cheez hai na! Ab bhi I am happy coz my love ll get to see my last minute in this earth. I am sure she ll find the camera. She is smart. Aakhir wife kiski hai!" His lips parted in a smile even at that situation.

I PREFER TO DIE !! His voice was clear and convincing. He had no fear.. Gosh, pyaar me koi Itna daring b ho sakta hai kya!

Randhir closed his eyes and visualised his love.. He only wanted to see her as the last thing in this world. All the thoughts of her flashed in front of his eyes, their first meet, their first hate kiss, the way she hugged him like a baby, their only bike ride!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SANYUKTA!!! He whispered.

The guy thought to himself "I am neither going to let you go nor your team, let me first finish your task, then I ll take care of the others, bunch of fools!"

He pointed the pistol right at Randhir's head and said "Good Bye Mr.Shekawat! May your soul rest in peace"

"WOH TAB HOGA JAB TU ZINDA RAHEGA DAMN IT!!" The guy froze in shock when he heard this voice from behind..

Always Be Mine - Part 26

Part 26:

Randhir was out in the dark, all alone, but he felt he had someone with him, someone held his hands, he turned there was no one but he could feel, it was his love, Sanyukta. He had left his heart with her, he was physically present but mentally he was all Sanyukta's.. He had a look at his palm, "Will I ever be able to caress your face with my hand Sanyukta? Will u ever hold this hand of mine?" Randhir was getting emotional. His mind was all occupied by his love. He suddenly pulled himself away from her dreams, "I have an important task at hand! I have to do this.. I am sure Mrs. Shekawat will be proud of me" he focused.

Randhir deliberately wore all black tonight. He didn't want to get located by anyone. It was already very dark, there was no way anyone could ever identify him. He slowly progressed, he made sure not to create any noise while moving. Finally, after 5 mins of careful walk, he reached the fateful tree. When he looked up, his body shivered. He imagined Suji hanging. He was suddenly tensed. "No Randhir hang on! You ll definitely do this" his heart assured him.

Randhir looked around and made sure no one was around. He slowly climbed the tree and sat on the top of it. It was a huge tree, standing strong for God knows how many years. Everytime the wind blew, the tree made a hissing noise that made him shiver. Still, it was Randhir Singh Shekawat, he had no other choice but to be strong. God, please give me all the strength that's required to finish this task, he prayed.. "Randhirrrr!" He felt his Sanyukta's voice. When he turned, there she was, sitting right next to him. "Sanyukta tum yahan kya kar Rahi ho?" He was tensed. "Randhir tum mujhe chodke Kyun aaye? Mein tumhare partner hun na! Partner ka matlab samajte ho?" She was angry at him. "Par Sanyukta!" She kept her finger on his lips and stopped him from talking further. Randhir was lost in her eyes, he leaned forward to kiss her, but stumbled. When he looked up she wasn't there.. "Was I really dreaming? Oh my god! You completely own me Sanyukta!" He blushed.

Sanyukta's tent:

Sanyukta was sleeping, suddenly she heard someone calling out her name.. "Sanyuktaaa!" Only one person could call her that way, her Randhir. She woke up with a sudden jerk. He wasn't there.. "Randhir? I heard him calling me. Was I dreaming?" Sanyukta wondered. She checked her watch, it showed 10 PM. She let out a cute yawn and when she turned, her eyes fell on the beautiful things placed right beside her.. She took them in her hands, she held the ring in front of her eyes, such a beautiful ring but ise yahan rakha kisne? She was confused. Sanyukta carefully placed the ring in her lap and opened the letter.. She was stunned to see, the below beautiful words in Randhir's handwriting!!


Hello Mrs. Sanyukta Shekawat,


I am good. Hope you are doing good as well. Ghar me b Sab thik hai na? Actually I am sorry I haven't written a love letter to any girl so far in my life. So I really don't know if this looks even a inch closer to a love letter.  Please forgive me if you don't like it. This might be the last punishment I would ever be giving to you, reading my so called "love letter".. So, here it goes...

I still remember the first day we met, trust me I hated you to the core that day. I thought girls only belong to kitchen. I initially thought u were no match to me but you slowly changed my perception. My attitude became my fear, I was afraid when I knew you were better than me(not really 😉) Your so called MCP was feeling so insecure. But slowly, I kept getting lost in you. At one point, you weren't my competitor anymore, you became my life. Every time I saw you, I felt as if I was re-born at that moment. I again felt insecure, coz I didn't wanna lose you. My hatred for you turned into a beautiful love. I have no shame in accepting it Sanyukta "YES I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU" Randhir Singh Shekawat is in love with Sanyukta Agarwal and will always be!! U might think why am I proposing you through a letter, you might come to know the reason soon. Don't ever think your Randhir is a coward, he ll back soon to propose you in person, looking into your eye. This is just a precautionary step, if that doesn't happen! I am not sure if I am lucky enough to listen to those three magical words from you, if I do then I ll be happiest man in the world. I am out on a mission, if I ever come back, I promise I would be the best husband in the whole universe, but again, don't worry, it's only if I ever come back.. Finally, I hate to say this, still, Randhir Singh Shekawat has lost only once in his life, that is NOW, and the person is YOU. I surrender myself Sanyukta! Even if I die now, I ll be happy coz I have finally proposed my girl, my life, my love.. Love you always! ALWAYS BE MINE Sanyukta!

With Love n Kisses(only on paper)
Randhir Singh Shekawat ---> Your MCP😉

Letter almost got drenched with her tears when Sanyukta finished reading it. She was numb. Damn! Has he left her alone? How can he take such a big risk? Sanyuktas eyes fell on the ring..She was breathing hard. She couldn't control her emotions, she cried loud. "Randhirrrrrrr!! How will I even imagine living without you!!"

Randhir waited, waited and waited.. It was almost close to 10 PM, he heard some noise. Randhir became alert, he sat up straight..

Always Be Mine - Part 25

Part 25:

Sanyukta had seen Randhir cry only once in those two years. Trust me, she could happily bear the MCP Randhir for 100 years rather than to see him crying for 2 mins. No, he cannot harm anyone, he is not responsible for her death, My Randhir cannot be, her heart said.

Sanyukta placed her hand in his chin, lifted his head towards her caringly, and asked "Randhir kya huahai? pleasse batao. Why are you saying that you are the murderer? I know it cant be you. Mujhse sharenahi karoge?

Randhir could hardly talk, he was so damn depressed. He hugged her like a small kid. Still sobbing, he slowly managed to talk "Sanyukta I am responsible for her death. I thought she might be helpful for us to find out whatvexactly is going on here. So I met her in the evening and asked her to wait for me near the tree exactly at 8 PM to discuss something very important. She was afraid, as even she believed that a ghost existed near the tree. I told her not to believe in all those stupid stories. I also promised her that she needn't worry coz I will be with her, may be even before she reaches. She smiled sanyukta, the smile meant trust, the faith she had on me. I have betrayed her Sanyukta, I have betrayeddd her. Her soul wouldnt forgive me anyday" he screamed.



               Such a pure soul he is, just because he couldn't make it on time, he holds himself responsible for her death. Sanyukta hugged him more tighter and said, "Randhir, you werent responsible for anything. Dont cry like this and make her soul weep. Dont you think, we have more important task in our hand rather than crying? Should we not find out who or what exactly is behind all this? Its definitely not the time to cry, come on, be brave, we have to crack this at any cost."

              Yeah Sanyukta is right, I should not cry, I am not weak, I ll have to do this, for her. He pulled himself away from her hug, when he saw the villagers approaching. They all were so tensed. He could her them talk to each other, one said, that girl was mentally disturbed hence she committed suicide, the other said, "No, the ghost killed her, we have warned everyone not to go near the tree, still she went, now she paid the price", One damn guy even raised doubts on her character. Randhir went and grabbed the shirt collar of the heartless guy.



R: Saale, Maa behen nahi hai kya tumhare? Ladkiyon ki insult karta hai tu woh b jo wahan mari padi hui hai uske baare me.. Kaise insaan ho tum log. Aur ek baat kaan kholke sun lo sab log, yahan jo b ho rahi hai na, woh sab kuch kal tak tum logon ke saamne hoga. Tab dekhta hun, tum log apna muh kahan chupate ho!

Randhir stormed away from the place, sanyukta followed him. Randhir still wasnt sure, how the hell did he fall asleep and that too for 12 straight hours.

Previous Evening at 6 PM:

Randhir, sanyukta, Parth and others decided to have early dinner. Vidushi, had mixed sleeping pills with the water they were about to consume. Thanks to Parth, who advised her to take the cream from his first aid kit. He completely forgot that it even had the sleeping pills in it. Vidushi slowly took it and slipped away. She first wanted only Parth to consume it, but then she decided otherwise "Agar sirf Parth so jayega toh shak mujhpe ho jayega, let others consume too. I have only mixed few, it isnt dangerous as well" she thought. That way, she could prevent Parth from going out in the night, she somehow had a feeling he would do that. Once they all fell asleep, Vidushi gave a pat on her back, "Well done Vidushi! You have done it. You have saved your love from danger"



Present Situation:

None of the Dream Team members were in a mood to even converse with each other. They were all mourning the death of someone who had been so friendly with them for the past 3 days. Village did not seem to bother though. They shut their doors, 1 hour ahead of their usual time, 5 PM. Such a cowards, Randhir hit his fist in anger. Sanyukta went near him, kept his hands on his shoulders and said, "Randhir mein ready hun, lets do it. We ll go and find out what exactly is happening here" Randhir's face turned pale, when he heard those words from her. he immediately played it down, he couldnt let sanyukta read his face "Sanyukta I am very tired, aaj nahi kal jaate hai. Ab hum sab sone chalte hain, please"

S: Randhir what are you saying? You challenged them to solve it by tomorrow. Bhul gaye kya?

R: Challenge jaaye baad me.. I just dont give a damn. So please, leave me alone. Guys please lets regroup tomorrow. I am going to sleep now, he said to the rest of his Dream Team members and rushed into his tent. Sanyukta was still confused, Why Am I not able to understand him? Why am I failing every damn time? she wondered.

              The moment he went inside, Randhir fell on the floor and started crying. "Sanyukta No I cant take you with me at any cost. I cannot let anything happen to you. Agar tumhe kuch ho jaata toh mein.. No I dont even wanna think about it. Ab Jo b hoga, sirf mere saath hi hoga"


At 8 PM that night:

               Randhir slowly came out of his tent, he was very careful not to disturb Parth and Jiggy who were sleeping in his tent. He got into Sanyukta's tent, his angel was sleeping, thank god she was alone. He slowly neared her, sat by her side, admired the way she was sleeping so cutely. He spoke in a gentle voice " My Angel, mujhe pata hai agar meine tumhe yeh keh diya hota, ki I am going out to check this damn thing, you would have followed me like a cute little kid. Mein tumhe mana bhi nahi kar paata. I can put myself into trouble but not you. You mean the world to me Sanyukta. I cant imagine a life without you. Till this day, I havent proposed you, himmat hi nahi kar paya, par aaj yahan tumhe sab kuch batane aaya hun. Coz you never know, if i ll ever be able to say these words to you again. Jahan mein jaa raha hun wahan mujhe kuch bhi ho sakta hai, but atleast I ll be relieved when i think that i have finally proposed my Angel, My Wife. I ll even die happily. Love you forever Mrs. Sanyukta Randhir Singh Shekawat" He so badly wanted to kiss her. His mind said no, but heart said go for it.

He leaned forward, went near her face, removed her hair and kissed her gently on her forehead, he couldnt take his lips off her for a minute. When he got back, tears rolled down his cheeks and fell on her face. He carefully wiped it off and said  " I HAVE FINALLY KISSED MY BRIDE"



Randhir stood up, took something out of his pocket, it was a ring and a letter. He placed it beside her so that she could see it as the first thing when she woke up. He kissed her once again and left the place. He did not want to turn back, who knows, had he seen her face once more, he might not even have had the courage to leave. Randhir despite having a team with him, set out on his task all alone, but he had smile on his face, "I AM READY, BRING IT ON"



TO BE CONTINUED.. My dear lovely readers, do leave your comments. Stay Blessed! Love you All #Ash

 woke up. He kissed her once again and left the place. He did not want to turn back, who knows, had he seen her face once more, he might not even have had the courage to leave. Randhir despite having a team with him, set out on his task all alone, but he had smile on his face, "I AM READY, BRING IT ON"

Always Be Mine - Part 24

Part 24:

Parth was still confused to the core. "Agar woh Vardhan sir nahi, to aur Kaun tha? It cannot be an illusion, coz Randhir and myself saw him at the same time. No possibility of us dreaming together. Arpita, Niharika!! What's all this? Whatever it is, I am going to solve it all alone myself. Randhir and Sanyukta seem busy all the time being together. No way they are going to concentrate on this. Yes, let me do it myself" his thoughts were disturbed by Vidushi's voice.

V: Parth!! She called. Parth gave her a irritating look..

P: Kya? Kyun aayi ho yahan?  He noticed something strange, she had weird marks all over her hands, and was scratching badly.

P: Kya hua hai tumhe? Allergy hai kya?

V: Haan Parth pata nahi kaise all of a sudden. She was doing it more wildly now,

P: Bandar aur insaan me Kuch toh farak Chodo. Jaa wahan first aid kit me cream hai.. Laga Lena thik ho jaogi.. Irritating but still concerned he was for her..

V: Thanks Parth. But I came here to say something else. Please Parth stay away from all this investigation. I am feeling very scared for you. Agar tumhe Kuch ho Gaya toh.. She was genuinely concerned for him as well.

P: Agar itna hi concerned ho, toh dur raho Mujhse. Tum hi mere liye sabse badi khatra ho. Samjhi! Jao yahan se..

Vidushi felt bad, she was so upset with the way Parth treated her. I deserve it though, she said. Even out of this, she only wanted to remember the way he had asked her to apply the cream. He is concerned about me, that's more than enough for me, she smiled.

Randhir was busy planning what he was going to do that night. Even If I don't solve it completely tongues, I will Atleast be getting a clue to proceed, he was happy. He had been working hard with all his equipments lying in all the direction. In other terms, he has created a complete mess around him. Villagers were looking at him strangely, "lagta hai do din me hi Pagal ho Gaya hai" was the meaning of their reaction. Little did they know, that they were witnessing a GENIUS in action.

Sanyukta, was sipping her coffee from a distance. She just couldn't take her eyes off him, that she yet again forget to notice the girl(whom she saw at the lakeside) nearing her Randhir. The girl was so mesmerized seeing Randhir, that she unknowingly stepped on one of his equipments. She slipped and was about to fall, while she felt a strong hand stopping her from falling. Randhir caught hold of her, and pulled her up, she almost fell in his arms. They had a eye lock, to Randhir he felt it was Sanyukta in his arms, he remembered the earlier incidents.

When he realized it wasn't her, he released her from his grip and said "You okay?"
"Kya!" She couldn't understand. "Oh I am sorry aap thik ho na?" Randhir asked in Hindi

"Haan Mein thik hun.. Bahut Bahut shukriya Mujhe ghirne se bachane ke liye" the girl said

"Koi baat nahi, by the way Mein Randhir Singh Shekawat, aur aap?"

"Mein Sujata, isi gaon Mein rehti hun.. Do din se aapko dekh rahi hun.."

"Sujata! Nice name. Toh fir Mein aapko Suji bhula sakta Hun kya?"

"Aap Kuch bhi bhula lijiye.. Chalega" she blushed

"Kutti bhi chalega kya" Sanyukta interrupted..

RD: Sanyukta what's all this? Kya Bol rahi ho tum?

S: Randhir Tum apna Kaam se Kaam rakho, its my department let me handle it.

Sanyukta grabbed Suji's hand and dragged her to a corner from where Randhir could neither be seen nor be heard. While leaving Suji turned to have a look at Randhir, he smiled at her warmly, even Sanyukta noticed it. "Dekho Mein tumhe already keh chuki Hun.. Ek aur baar keh rahi hun.. Randhir se dur raho samjhi? Agar Tum agli baar uske aas paas b dikhi na toh dekhna Mein kya karti Hun Tere saat!!" Sanyukta was warning her like a DON. She has never spoken so harsh with anyone, except MCP Randhir. She couldn't believe she was doing it again but this time, for Randhir!!

Suji left the place with a sad face. Sanyukta came rushing to where Randhir was sitting.

S: Randhir tumne use pakda kyun? She wasn't falling from a cliff.. Ghir b jaati toh b chot nahi lagti usse.. Duniya Ki Saari ladkiyon ko ghirne se Tum hi bachaoge kya?

R: Ladkiyon ko thik se chalna toh aata nahi, toh Mein kya karun!

S: Aur Tum has kyun rahe the usse dekhke?

R: Sanyukta Hasna mana hai kya? What's happening with you? Kahi tumhe Jalan toh nahi ho rahi hai na? He gave her a naughty look

S: Jalan? "Oh God am I making it look so obvious? I should handle this in a better way" Sanyukta said to herself. Jalan kyun hogi mujhe, I was feeling bad for the girl, Tum jaise bande se Kahi pyar na kar baite woh.. Uski zindagi barbad ho jayegi..

Randhir came closer to Sanyukta, he placed his finger on her lips, leaned forward and reached for her ears, removed her hair and whispered "Sanyukta! Next time please come up with a better excuse!" He pulled himself back and went inside the tent smiling. Sanyukta blushed..

That evening, they decided to have a early dinner.. Vidushi couldn't join them as she had developed scars all over her hands. Sanyukta asked Randhir to brief more about heir plan. She signaled Sanyukta not to talk in front of everyone, as he felt Parth watching them. Randhir felt very tired, he checked his watch. It was only 6.30, one and half hour left. I can take rest for a while, he thought. He asked Sanyukta to wake him up exactly at 8 and went to sleep..

Randhir went inside his tent, and threw himself on his cot. That was the last thing he remembered. He woke up all of a sudden to the violent cries that was heard all over. He checked his watch, DAMN it's 6 AM??? He couldn't understand what the hell had happened with him. He and others went running towards the place, from where they heard the cry. When Dream Team reached there, the sight they saw made them go mad. They found someone hanging from the tree, Randhir looked close, it was none other than SUJI, the girl he had met the other day. She was hanging there lifeless.

Randhir pulled himself out of the crowd and started running wildly. Sanyukta followed him. After almost 5 mins of running, he dropped down on his knees and started crying. Sanyukta tried consoling him.

S: Randhir I can understand but please don't cry. We ll find out why she committed suicide.

R: Sanyukta, she died because of me.. I KILLED HER!!! I AM THE MURDERER!!

Sanyuktas jaw dropped when she heard Randhir say those words..

Always Be Mine - Part 23

Part 23:

Randhir and Parth were in total shock. It took a while for their brains to get processed, Randhir's heart skipped a beat, may be two.

R: Randhir yeh Vardhan sir yahan kya kar rahe hai? N why is he crying? What the hell is happening in this damn village?
P: Even I am surprised Randhir.. Why would he? Come on, let's go and talk to him. Shayad Kuch pata chal jaye..

Randhir stopped Parth by holding his hand, "Nahi Ab nahi let's wait and watch.. I wanna know yahan ho kya raha hai..

Parth obeyed.. They hid themselves behind one of those thick bushes, and started to monitor their mentor. Prof. Vardhan was stil crying, he was taking some name while doing so. Randhir sharpened his ear and listened carefully. "Niharika kahan ho Tum? I know I saw you.. I followed you till here but where did you go all of a sudden? I love you Niharika I love you a lot please wapas aa jao. I need you, I need you badlyyyyyy" he screamed

"Niharika???" Parth and Randhir uttered almost at the same time.

R: Parth yeh Niharika Wahi hai na? Vardhan sir's girlfriend? Wasn't she dead? How come Vardhan sir saw her here?

P: I told you na Randhir, I saw Arpita last night, she asked to me to follow her.. I kinda even tried following her but felt something wasn't right and controlled myself. And Aaj Vardhan sir saw his girlfriend who is dead as well. Randhir something is terribly wrong. I really feel that this place is haunted now. We should leave immediately.

Parth caught hold of Randhir and said "Chalo let's go! We ll vacate the place immediately, I mean right now. It isn't safe for us"

Randhir stopped Parth.. "Tum kya Bol rahe ho Parth? Vardhan sir ko Aise halat me kaise chodke jaa sakte ho tum? Aren't u educated? You believe in all this spirit thing as well? Chuck it off Parth. I am not coming anywhere. If you wanna leave, you can very well do so. I am not going anywhere without solving this mystery"

P: Randhir I am not worried about myself. I care only about u guys, my friends. Anyways I agree I was wrong. I am sorry.

Randhir patted his friend on his shoulder. "It's okay I understand.. Stay here let me go and get Vardhan sir.." When he turned, Prof. Vardhan was already gone..

Parth and Randhir exchanged a scary look, next moment, they were running towards their tents. Parth was the first one to check if Vardhan sir was indeed in his tent.

P: Randhir Vardhan sir toh so rahe hai.. He is inside the tent. How the hell is that possible?

Randhir and Parth could not get any sleep that whole night, they decided to confront Vardhan sir as the first thing in the morning.

Next morning 6 AM:

Prof. Vardhan woke up and came out stretching his hands, Randhir was the first one to notice him. He signaled Parth, they both stood up and went near their mentor. Vardhan was surprised to see his students give him that weird look.

V: Randhir Parth kya hua? Didn't you guys sleep last night?

P: Sir we need to know something Sach Sach batayiye..

V: Yes Parth?

R: Why were you crying last night, sitting all alone in the forest? N how did you reach the tent before us?

V: Crying? Forest? What are guys saying? I never went out of my tent last night.. Guys is something wrong?

IT WASN'T VARDHAN SIR!!

Parth was about to faint hearing that from Vardhan sir. If he hadn't gotten out of his tent the whole night, whom did we see in the forest? Were we blind? Is Prof. Vardhan lying? Thousands of questions came up in his mind, to which he had no answers.

Randhir pulled himself away from them, he started thinking. What's the deal with Parth, Vardhan sir and his dead girl friends? Why did I see Vidushi? Could it be this way, no that way, no this, that..... His mind made numerous calculations.. He finally smiled as if he had connected the dots..

Randhir pulled Sanyukta from her tent and said something in her ears. She was initially shocked but with Randhir by her side, no force in the world can harm her, she said "Yes Randhir let's do it!"

Randhir and Sanyukta hugged each other.. It's going to be an important night Sanyukta! With you be my side, I am not sure if I am going to solve this mystery but I am sure I ll give my 100%..

Always Be Mine - Part 22

Part 22:

Whole Dream team was looking for a place where they could take bath. There weren't any washrooms. "Uff Randhir bhai! Ab kya Karen? Where will we take bath?" Jiggy asked
When they enquirer few people, all of them pointed to a lake nearby.. That was a beautiful lake.. The moment, Randhir saw it, he immediately fell in love with it. When he turned, He saw Sanyukta approaching.

S: Randhir tum yahan kya kar rahe ho? Kal kab aaye? Sorry I fell asleep I guess

R: Thanks Sanyukta, he said with a smirk on his face

S: Thanks Kyun?

R: (For hugging me so right like my cute little baby last night, I wish I could tell this to her) Kuch nahi bas yun hi..

S: Acha suno, I need to take bath, par yahan kaise.. She went and sat near the lakeside and made a puppy face looking at Randhir. That one look was enough to trigger him mad.. Randhir went running. "Har Waqt jab mujhe iski Zaroorat hoti hai tab bhag jaata hai" Sanyukta thought.

I think I ll have to do something, she whispered. "Madam Zara dekhiye! Yeh okay hai kya aapke liye ya Thoda aur bada bana doon?" Sanyukta looked back hearing Randhir's voice.
He was busily tying a saree to the two adjacent trees, folded it twice, thrice to make it more thick and covered the top part of it with another saree. It looked like a small house, built for her. She was amazed to see his thought process. She went running and flew into his arms, that were always ready to embrace her.

S: Thank you so much Randhir. It's too good. Thanks a lotttt..

He was so happy to see her happy.

R: Ok ab Jaldi se ready ho jao, Bahut Kaam hai hame.. He didn't want to break the hug but he had some other mission on hand.

Sanyukta went jumping inside. Randhir decided to take bath in the lake itself. While he was doing so, all the ladies in the village were just looking at him, weirdly. I guess they liked him too.  When Sanyukta came out after taking bath, even she couldn't take her eye away from him. Man! Randhir looked very handsome.. Her thoughts were distracted when she saw a girl approaching Randhir.

S: "Ab yeh Kaun hai? Aur yeh Randhir ke paas Kyun jaa Rahi hai? Let me see!"

The girl, whatever her name was about to near Randhir when Sanyukta came in between.
S: Kaun ho tum? Yahan kya kar Rahi ho?

G: Kuch nahi didi.. Bas paani lene aayi thi.. She was still looking at Randhir

S: dikh nahi Rahi hai kya? Woh bhaiya naha rahe hai na? Baad me aa jaana! Ab jao tum..

G: Oh aapke bhaiya hai kya woh? Acha okay di.. Ab mein khush hun. Aapke bhaiya mast hai.. She giggled

S: Hey woh mere bhaiya Vaiya nahi hai! Woh mere....(pati hai) her heart completed the sentence. Woh mere saath padte hai.. Bakwas band karo aur jao yahan se.. She almost dragged her hand, took her far from Randhir and warned her not to look at him like that.

Randhir who was listening to this whole convo, smiled and said, kisi ko jalan ho Rahi hai, achi baat hai..

Randhir and Sanyukta set out to investigate. They wanted to know more about all these that were happening with them. Vidushi, Arpita pata nahi Aage kya hone wala hai! Others also joined them in a while. They went to every home and tried to get friendly with the inmates. It was almost 5 PM in the evening, when they all returned to their tents.

Only thing that they heard from the villagers was that of some spirit that was around the tree, it was like a milestone, nobody was allowed to go beyond that point. Some said that the spirit was of a woman who committed suicide by hanging herself in the tree, some believed spirit itself was responsible for the woman's death. Some even added, they have often seen the spirit of that woman near the tree. Whatever it was, it had something to do with the tree and the forest behind.

They took their lunch late and decided to take a nap as they were all feeling very tired. It was hectic. Nobody knew how long they had slept, when suddenly they heard a cry, a mild cry but audible. It was almost 8 PM but since there was no electricity, It looked like 12 AM. Randhir came out of the tent and decided to follow the voice, he felt a hand on his shoulder, it was Parth.

R: Parth tumhe bhi sunayi de raha hai kya yeh voice?

P: Haan Randhir that's why I came out. Chalo dekhte hai kya hai!

Randhir and Parth again set out on the dark trying to find some clue to solve this mystery. They followed the voice, they had to cross the tree, it looked terrifying at night. Is some kind of a spirit really here? They wondered..

P: Randhir what do u think, should we go beyond this point? Villagers ne mana kiya hai na!

R: I need to go inside Parth agar tumhe dar lag raha hai toh you can leave. I am going to do this. Randhir said firmly.

P: I can't leave you alone, let's do it then Chalo

It was a thick forest, full of dark and dense bushes. They both held each other's hand, went inside clearing the bushes. After nearly five mins of walk, they felt as if they have neared the voice.

R: Parth torch on karo Jaldi

Parth switched on the torch. The sight they saw there, made them shiver. Someone was sitting on a rock, crying loud. That someone was none other than, Professor VARDHAN himself!

Always Be Mine - Part 21

Part 21:

The voice kind of shook up the whole place. Randhir went out to see Parth breathing heavily. He was sweating hard and his hands were shivering. "Kya hua Parth?" Parth was stammering he couldn't talk. "Arpi Arpita ko Dekha meine! Abhi yahan! Randhir I swear I saw her!"

R: Parth relax! Kuch nahi hua hai! Tum aao yahan baito, let me see..

Randhir tried searching everywhere, he couldn't find anything. When he returned, he found Parth crying, burying his face in his hands. Randhir tried consoling him, Parth hugged him and started to cry loud. Randhir patted him gently and said, "Don't worry! It's just our imagination Yaar. We are thinking too much.. Chal uto!" He took Parth inside his tent, convinced him for a while and came back.

"Something isn't right.. Something is fishy somewhere. I am not going to let this happen to my Team anymore! Whatever it is, bring it on.. I am ready" he said

When he went inside, there was absolutely no place for him to lie down. Randhir had to help himself in one of the corners. For the past half an hour, he has gone through so many things. He couldn't get anything out of his head. He kept thinking about those weird things suddenly he felt a hand on him. It was Sanyukta's. She had put her hand on him and was hugging him tight.. Randhir tried moving, but failed. She had arrested him completely. She was in her deep sleep, she was lying with her cheeks resting on his face.. He felt weird, her cheeks were caressing his lips, hmmm may be the other way round.. Randhir didn't do anything deliberately, neither he was taking the moment for granted.. He tried pushing her away a little, the more he pushed the tighter she hugged.. It's better to leave it this way, he decided..

Her hair fell on his face, he gently removed it, while doing so his fingers caressed her lips.. He remembered the day they kissed in the mechanical lab, that wasn't a kiss, he thought.
The day, she would accept me as her love, I ll kiss her and that ll be called the real kiss. Tab tak toh wait karna hi padega.. He closed his eyes and just felt her.. He neither touched her nor hugged her.. After a while, she pulled herself away from his face and lied on his chest, still hugging..

His cute little angel was sleeping on his chest, in a while her leg landed heavily on his legs.. Oops, he slightly screamed.. Sach me Bahut baari hai, he smiled.. Zindagi bar Jhelna padega par khushi khushi jel lunga. He called her his Angel rightly, she had the power to bring him out of all his pains.. She made him forget the world, toh yeh bhoot pretty kya cheez hai..

Mr and Mrs Shekawat slept in that position the whole night. Randhir was the first one to wake up the next morning. He carefully removed her arms and legs from his body and placed it away gently. He felt like kissing on her forehead but he couldn't dare to. He slowly went near her forehead and made a cute kissing pose, with a slight sound.

When he went out of the tent, Parth was already there. He hadn't slept the whole night, it was clearly visible in his eyes. Randhir didn't wanna discuss with him on what happened the other night. He needs some space, he decided.

In almost 30 mins, Dream team assembled in a place, and Prof Vardhan started to talk.
"Guys it's day one here! U can do anything you want to but just be careful! I want you guys to be safe first!" He noticed Parth. "Is everything okay with you Parth?" He asked

"Yes sir! I am fine" Parth nodded.

Dream team decided to go inside the village and start their investigation.. It was their first day, and they were about to face so many challenges ahead about which they had no clue.. Some interesting things were about to unfold.. It was going to be interesting very interesting!!

Always Be Mine - Part 20

Part 20:

Randhir jumped up and went outside, Sanyukta was totally shocked. He went out and checked thoroughly, there was no trace of anyone standing there. Apart from few unusual cries, the night was very silent. Randhir was sweating, "Kaun ho sakta hai, itni raat ko?" He felt a hand on his shoulder, when he turned, it was Sanyukta, she stood there with a frightened look on her face. "Kya hua Randhir? Is everything okay?"

"No, I shouldnt tell her now. She ll be scared " he thought, "Kuch nahi Sanyukta!"

S: Toh tum aise kyun chale aaye?

R: Woh mein.. Woh tumhe bina makeup ki dekhke dar gaya tha mein!

Sanyukta gave him a angry look.

R: Arey my Jhansi ki Rani I was just trying to scare you. Shakal dekh apni. Dar gayi na

Randhir started laughing and sanyukta was beating him kiddishly.

R:Ok ab tum jao aur so jao. I ll be back in a while. Aur suno, center me so jao, corners pe nahi.

S: Tum kahan jaa rahe ho mujhe chodke woh b is waqt. Mein b aaungi

R: Sanyukta,tum b na. I am going to the loo yar. Har jagah tumhe saat nahi le jaa sakta. I ll manage alone. Company ki zaroorat nahi hai

Sanyukta slightly gave a tap on the back of her head and said, Ok par jaldi aana. He watched him get inside and close the tent.

Randhir's face turned tensed yet again, he gave a quick look around and went near Parth's tent.

R: Parth, Parth

P: Randhir kya hua? Sab thik hai na?

R: Kuch thik nahi hai Parth, I saw some shadow near sanyuktas tent, when i came out to check it was gone. Completely vanished.

Parth suddenly ran near Vidushi's tent and checked if she was still there inside,

P: Vidushi b bahar nahi aayi aur kaun ho sakta hai Randhir?

R: Let me check Parth, Just do me one favour. Tum yahi pe rehke sab ka khyal rakna.

Randhir said "sab" but his eyes fell only on Sanyuktas tent.

P: No way I am going to let you go alone. I ll also come with you.

Parth quickly called for Jiggy and Sahil, asked them to take care of the girls, took his torch and patted Randhir. They both started walking.

It was too dark, that made them feel very awkward. Randhir went ahead and Parth followed him. They both walked for almost 10 mins and reached the so called 'haunted' tree.

R: Is ped me aisa kya ho sakta hai Parth?

P: Pata nahi Randhir, even I am surprised.

Randhir went around the tree once, when he returned where he started Parth was missing.

R: Parth Parth, kahan ho tum?

There was no reply, only his voice echoed back. Ab yeh Parth kahan gaya, Randhir stepped back, stumbled upon something and almost fell down. When he turned to look, who it was, his face turned pale.

VIDUSHI!! Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? Tum toh tent me thi na? He blinked his eyes for a second, when he opened she was gone.

Randhir!!! Parth yelled from behind. Kahan chale gaye the tum? Kab se doond raha hun tumhe..

R: Parth meine yahan Vidushi ko dekha

P: What the hell! Woh toh wahan hain, yahan kyun ayegi? Tum chalo mere saath. Parth dragged Randhir, and they were on their way to the tent.

They had gone ten steps ahead, same shadow followed them..

The moment, Randhir and Parth reached their place, he went and checked Vidushi's tent. She was still sleeping inside. No way she could've been there. He was hell confused.

P: Randhir go, get some sleep. We ll see tomorrow. Randhir went inside the tent, sanyukta was sleeping, he covered her with a blanket, caressed her forehead and removed her hair that fell on her face.

"I think it was just my imagination. No one was there, I imagine too much stuff these days. Parth was right, I need some sleep, Everything ll be alright tomorrow." Just then, he was trying to console himself, he heard a loud scream from outside.. It was PARTHHHH..

Always Be Mine - Part 19

Part 19:

Professor Vardhan felt very proud seeing his team. They are up for every challenge I throw on them, my Best Dream Team ever, he felt. His eyes fell on Jiggy, he was standing there firm with his legs shivering.

"Jignesh! You okay?"

"Vardhan Bhai.. ooo sorry Vardhan sir! Mein thik hun!" Jiggy blabbered with his legs still shivering.

"Ok guys I hope nobody here believes in all this ghost stuff? If you do, then let me know right now. I dont want anybody cribbing after we enter into the village. Is that clear?"

"Sir, hum sab thaiyar hain.. Believing this stuff or not is a different thing, in a way we are used to it. Hum already chudailon ke saath hi rehte hain. Isse badi chudail yahan nahi ho sakta!" Parth looked at Vidushi.

"Hmmm anyways jokes apart! Is my team ready to go on the mission? Give me one final YES, after which there ll be no looking back, no regrets!!"

His Dream Team was always ready, they said "YES SIR!!" this time, it was more firm.

Vardhan smiled and started walking, lets go then, he said. Randhir, Sanyukta and others followed them.

"Hum FITE Mechanical Engineering karne aaye hain? Ya phir bhoot voot pakadne! Hadh hai yeh toh.. Hum CID thodi na hai" Vidushi kept cribbing. It irritated Randhir who was admiring his angel.

"Vidushi agar tum apni muh band nahi ki na, toh tumhe utake us gutter me fenkh dunga! Samjhi?" MCP Randhir in him spoke.

"Mein bhi haath bataon kya Randhir? Abhi kar dete hain. Shubh kaam me der kis baat ki!" Parth was in a way having fun pulling Vidhushi's legs.

Vardhan sir stopped in front of a house and asked for water . A lady, in her early thirties, went running inside and came back in a few seconds with water. She gave a weird look at Dream Team, especially Vidushi caught her eyes. She went running inside yet again, while the team was still confused, she came back with a long piece of cloth(it was double the size of a normal saree) and covered Vidushi with it. She said " Beti bahut garib ho kya tum? Itne kam kapde kyun pehen rakhe ho, woh bhi itne saare mard log ke saamne? Koi baat nahi, tum yeh rakh lo, mere paas aur b purane kapde hai sab de dungi" Vidushi was shocked to hear this. Randhir, Sanyukta and Parth all of them burst out laughing, pointing fingers at Vidushi. She was so embarassed and left the place immediately.

Parth thanked the lady for the cloth and said "Sach me bahut garib ghar se hai woh ladki! Aapke jo b purane kapde hain sab de dena!"



Randhir patted Parth on this shoulder " Hamesha kyun uske piche pada rehta hai tu! Bus kar, ladkiyon ki aise insult nahi karte" Parth and Sanyukta opened their mouth wide. Randhir winked at Parth and left the place.

They had to do a quite of lot of stuff, like setting up their tents, arranging for Bonfire, food preparation etc. By the time, they finished everything it was 6 PM. Till 5:59 PM whole village was busy. Villagers were running here and there and the situation seemed quite normal. But once the clock struck 6 PM, there was silence everywhere. All the streets were deserted, all the doors closed, pin drop silence prevailed. It indeed created a bit of fear. Dream team felt something in their stomach.



Randhir helped sanyukta get into her tent and said "Vardhan sir asked us to just observe the environment today. Kal se hi hum apni task start karenge. Jo b ho bahar mat aana. I ll be here in the next tent. Kuch chahiye ho toh ek awaaz dena, aa jaunga mein. Okay?" he was talking to her as if she is a 4 year old kid. Randhir patted Sanyukta on her shoulders and turned to leave, she caught his hand. "Randhirrr!!" she called

"Bolo Sanyukta! Kya hua? Kuch chahiye tumhe?" Randhir was concerned. Sanyukta was about to say something, but at the Same time, they heard a noise somewhere, it was frightening. Sanyukta immediately hugged him, tight..(Readers, do help yourselves by imagining Sandhir BG Tune here) Randhir smiled a bit,hugged her back and caressed her hair. The noise, was still audible to everyone in the Dream Team except these two coz they were in Sandhir Land now.

After 2 mins, Randhir spoke "Arey sanyukta kuch nahi hua hai. Its just some random noise. Daro mat, mein hun na!"

Sanyukta still hugged him tight, and said "Randhir please tum mere paas hi rehna please. Kya hum dono ek tent share nahi kar sakte?"

Randhir was surprised to hear that.. Sanyukta tum sach me? While Randhir started to talk, sanyukta realized what she has just said. "Mera matlab yeh hai ki my tent is big enough to accommodate us, tum us khone me so jaana, aur mein is khone me.. Okay?"

Randhir gave a naughty smile and said, "Nahi nahi mujhe sirf apni tent pe sona hai"

Sanyukta caught his hand and almost dragged him inside her tent "Mein keh diya toh keh diya.. Wahan tum so jao, mein yahan soungi"  she showed him one corner of the tent.


Randhir obeyed her words and helped himself in that corner. She lied down on the opposite corner, with her back facing Randhir. He was happy that she had trusted him so much. No girl in the world would let a guy share her room, unless and until she trusted him completely. She is trusting me, I am happy, he thought. When he was still smiling, she turned to face him, they both shared a intense eyelock. It was as if their eyes were hugging each other's. Such was the pleasure of love.

But It lasted only a few minutes, Randhir woke up all of a sudden, when he saw a shadow outside. It was standing so close to Sanyukta.

Always Be Mine - Part 18

Part 18:

Sanyukta was trying hard to sleep, she ll close her eyes, next minute it opens up unknowingly. Gosh, I should stop thinking about him. I am here only to focus on my Engineering. Right now, Randhir is only my FRIEND my BEST FRIEND. But why did he write his name as my Guardian? Is he guarding me? If so, from what? Sanyukta felt so angry on her own heart, it asks so many unanswerable questions. She deliberately closed her eyes, in the process, she fell asleep.

Randhir's room:

Randhir was sitting on his bed, smiling all alone. He looked at his hands and envied it. Jiggy and Parth just could not understand what was going on, they exchanged a confused look.

"Koi please Dream Team ko bacha lo!! Ek se badkar ek pagal hote jaa rahe hain!!" Parth prayed to God. Jiggy noticed Parth talking all alone "Hey Bhagwan! Parth bhai bhi pagal ho gaye kya?" It was such a awkward moment, but Randhir never cared. He was in his own world, Sandhir Land!!

Next morning - 5 AM:

Everyone's alarm went off the same time. Jiggy woke up with a jerk. Parth was turning off his alarm. " Chalo Parth bhai bhi ut gaye! Ab Randhir bhai!!!"

He was shocked when he turned to look at Randhir, he was still sitting in the same position as last night, smiling. "Randhir bhai, aap kab ute the?" Jiggy asked

"Mein soya kab tha, Jiggy!" Randhir gave him a naughty look.

"Matlab poore raat aap jaag rahe the kya" Jiggy was shocked

"Nahi, Jaag nahi raha tha, ud raha tha mein toh" Randhir's every sentence these days sounded like a cute little poem.

Listening to this convo, Parth decided that Randhir has indeed gone mad, parso Vidushi, kal Sanyukta, Aaj Randhir, kal mein na ban jaun, he wondered.

6 AM:

Randhir, Sanyukta, Parth, Vidushi, Kaustuki, Jiggy and Sahil, whole Dream Team was present in Vardhan sir's cabin.

Vardhan sir, looked at them with a slight smile on his face.. "So Team, are you guys ready for your next task? I am sure you are. So without wasting anymore time, lets get going. I ll brief you about the task once we reach the destination"

Vardhan sir noticed something in Sahil's hand and enquired what it was.

Sahil: Sir Tool Kit hai, task ke liye!!

Vardhan Sir(with a dry smile on his face): Shayad is task ke liye Tool Kit ki zaroorat nahi padegi meri team ko. But then, you can carry if you wish.

Vidushi was shocked "Tool kit ke bina Kaun si task karne wale hai hum"

"Tum kaun si tool kit ko use karke task khatam karne wali ho. Waise b as usual kaam hum karenge aur tum spectator banke dekhogi. Dekhne ke liye tool kit ki zaroorat bilkul b nahi hai" Parth did not even miss a single opportunity to irritate her.

"Ok guyz, lets get going. Follow me" Vardhan sir instructed.

DT obeyed to Vardhan sir's instructions, they followed him without uttering a word. Two cars were ready to pick them up outside FITE. Sanyukta, Randhir Kaustuki and Vardhan sir got into the first car, while the others sat in second. All the while, no one spoke a word. Vidushi, thought of grabbing this oppurtunity. She went closer to Parth. "Jiggy tum please piche aa jao na, mujhe wahan baitna hai! Mujhe chudalon ke saat nahi baitna" Parth screamed. Hearing this, Vidushi moved away with a angry look on her face.

"Tumhare liye hi toh extra make up lagake aayi hun! Meri insult kar rahe ho na. Is task khatam hone se pehle mein tumne apna bana dungi.. Dekhna Parth, u just wait and watch" Vidushi said to herself..

Sanyukta kept looking at Randhir. He gently smiled at her. They both wanted to talk to each other, but they couldn't. Sanyukta signaled Randhir "Tumhe pata hai kya hum kaha jaa rahe hai"

Randhir signaled back " Bilkul b nahi pata. I guess we have to wait"

"Tumhara chehra aisa kyun hai? Didn't you sleep last night"

"No, no, its because I overslept last night" He lied

Sanyukta felt bad, "Meri nind kharab karke tum aaram se so rahe the kya!"

"Kya Sanyukta?"

"Kuch nahi" she frowned.

After 4 hours drive, their cars reached a place, from where they couldn't continue driving. There weren't roads anymore, it was slope somewhere, and there were pits every now and then. They all got down from the car. Vardhan sir signaled the cars to get back. Dream Team watched the cars take a U-turn and vanish into thin air.

Team, no other vehicle can help us anymore. We have to use our own legs to help ourselves. Just 4 kms from here, my Dream team can walk right, Vardhan sir smiled at his team and started walking.

"What the hell! 4 kms walk? No way, I am not going to do this." Vidushi started her drama. When she finished, there werent anyone nearby. They were already walking, she went running to keep up with them.

Randhir and Sanyukta walked along with each other. All the way, they could only see huge trees, it was as if they were in an isolated forest. At a point, Sanyukta felt scared. She held Randhir's hand, she felt safe the moment she held his hand. Randhir was loving it. She held her hand firmly and buried his fingers deep in hers.

They might have crossed almost 2 kms, Sanyukta said "Randhir I cant walk anymore, can we sit for a while somewhere. My legs are paining so much"

"Uske liye rest lene ki kya zaroorat?" Without hesitating for a moment, he lifted her in his arms, and started walking. She was surprised to see him react that way, few months back, he had said "Dikhne me toh tum thik thak ho, par weight dekho apni do bainso jitna hai!".

Sanyukta said "Randhir! Niche utaro mujhe! I ll manage! Waise b my weight toh do bainso jitna hai na?"

Randhir burst out with laughter. "Arey nahi nahi! Tum kitni halki ho pata hai? I dont even feel your weight." he lied. He was equally tired as her, his hands and legs were indeed aching still he couldn't bear his Angel's pain. Had he over reacted, she could have either suspected him or might have thought that he is desperate to lift her. Hence, he had to under play.

Seeing Sanyukta in her Randhir's arms, Vidushi felt jealous. She made a tired face and said " Parth please mujhe utao, mujhse aur nahi hoga. I cant walk anymore"

"Chalna nahi ban raha hai, toh yahi padi raho!"

"Parth how can you be so insenstive? Mujhe utao please my legs are aching"

"Even my legs are aching. Ek kaam karte hai. Tum mujhe utao" Parth made an attempt to sit on her.

Vidushi jumped and started to run. "Mujhe marwaoge kya!!"

"Bewakoof ladki" Parth followed.. Other side, Kaustuki was walking with Jiggy in her arms. It was such a funny sight to watch.

Sanyukta slightly lowered her face and rested on his chest. She could hear his heartbeat, it was beating damn fast, proving how much pain he was going through. But all Randhir had in his face was a lovely smile! Who cares about pain, when they get an opportunity to hold their love in their arms. They were smiling all the way, totally lost in each other.

Vardhan sir looked back and thought "Sanyukta and Randhir, get ready for the mission"

Finally, Dream Team and Vardhan Sir reached the place, so called destination for their next task. It seemed to be a village, but not the normal one. Villagers were dressed in weird clothes. It reminded them of the old Hindi movies, still it was something different. They haven't seen even a trace of electricity anywhere. Forget electricity, there were no signs of MACHINES anywhere. What is Dream Team supposed to do in a village that was still living in stone age?

Vardhan sir, has a different approach in everything. They all assembled under a huge tree. Dream team had a confused look on their faces. Sanyukta was still in Randhir's arms. Parth shook Randhir and brought them back to present situation. He immediately let her down.

Vardhan sir let out a cough and spoke, "Ok guys! We have reached our destination. This is where you guys are going to execute your next task. This is a village with no basic facilities. You might be thinking it would be similar to the village you worked on earlier. But the answer is a big NO. This village still lives in Stone Age. They don't know machines as well. You guys must be wondering, what my dream team would do in a place where there no machines. I ll tell you. Yahan pe Tum logon ko machines ke saath nahi machines pe hi Kaam Karna Hoga"

As usual, Vardhan sir was playing with words. Dream team was hell confused. "Sir hum kuch samjhe nahi!" Parth stepped forward "Hame exactly Karna kya Hoga?"

"Guyz it's simple! Like machines are controlled by some force, even these people are controlled by SUPERSTITIONS! Tum logon ko inhe inki superstitions se bahar nikalke normal Karna Hoga! Many of them tried earlier but failed. I have trust in my Dream Team! I am sure you Guyz ll successfully accomplish this task. You've got 10 days with you. It ll be an exciting experience at the same time quite dangerous b!"

Superstitions? Kaise superstitions? Parth queried!!

"Good question Parth! For example, yeh ped dekh raho ho aap log? It is feared that is ped me bhoot Preth hai! Not only in this tree, they believe bad spirits existing in whole village. So after 6 PM, village will go to shutdown mode, koi b Bahar nahi Ayega! This is just an example."

Vidushi opened her mouth wide, Bhoot Preth!!!

Vidushi sir tumhe nahi bhula rahe hai, yahan ke bhoot ke baare me baat kar rahe hai.. So chill! Parth gave it back.

So is my team ready for the task!!! Vardhan sir asked!

"YES SIR!" Was the reply from his team.. Professor Vardhan was a happy man. But he will not be happy for longgg...

Always Be Mine - Part 16

Part 16: 

Randhir and Sanyukta were running towards Vardhan sir's cabin..

Randhir: Sanyukta kya lagta hai, Vardhan sir Kyun bhula rahe hai humne? Woh b is Waqt?

Sanyukta: Mein b yahi soch Rahi Hun Randhir.. Pata nahi. Dehkte hain, Chalo fast.

When they entered Vardhan sir's cabin, rest of the dream team was already present, Parth, Vidushi, Jiggy, Kaustuki and Sahil. Vardhan sir stared them all for a moment, and got up from his chair.

I know guys. You're all wondering why I called you here, woh b is waqt!! I know it's your weekend, you all wanna chill. But I can't help it guys. I want my dream team to be ready all the time. Without wasting anytime, let me come directly to the point. We will be setting out of FITE for the next task of our Dream Team. Kal subah 6 baje nikalenge hum Sab. Be ready!! Is that clear?

Par sir, Kahan aur kya task hai? Parth questioned..

"Parth, don't ask me any questions. Kal ready Rehna matlab ready Rehna. If any of you have any problem, please step out right now. I am not forcing you. I ll let you know when I feel I should. So I am assuming that you guyz got my point. You all may leave now!"

Whole dream team had a puzzled look on their faces when they turned to leave, Vardhan sir spoke, "You all may leave except Randhir and Sanyukta"

Vidushi made a angry face, yeh Vardhan sir ko Hamesha Randhir aur Sanyukta se hi Kaam hota hai kya? Mein kya mar gayi Hun, she whispered.

Nahi, agar woh tumse baat karne ki koshish ki toh tum unhe bhi pagal bana dogi apni tarah, Parth yelled.. Vidushi gave a angry look at Parth and went away.

When the rest of the Dream team was out of sight, Vardhan sir spoke, "Randhir and Sanyukta! What's the deal with you guys? Kya ho raha hai?"

Kuch nahi sir, we are fine! Randhir and Sanyukta uttered the same words almost at the same time.

"Hmmmm interesting veryyy interesting!! Then why were you running around FITE last evening Sanyukta? N tum Randhir, boys hostel ka rasta bhul Gaye the kya? Why were you sleeping on the bench last night?" Vardhan sir cornered both of them simultaneously.

Randhir blinked a while and said, "Sir woh room me na Parth Bahut zor se kharate le raha tha, toh mein so hi nahi paya is liye I slept on the bench!" Thank god mein Bach Gaya, Randhir felt relieved.. Vardhan sir's focus now shifted to Sanyukta.

"Aur Miss Agarwal tum?" When Vardhan sir said those words, Randhir felt something strange inside. "Miss Agarwal? No, she is Mrs. Shekhawat now! Vardhan sir toh Sab Kuch jaante hai, unhe yeh kaise nahi pata chala ab tak" Randhir wondered..

Sir mein woh college ki circumference calculate kar Rahi thi!! Kal aapki task pe Kaam aa Jai kya pata!! Sanyukta knew she couldn't fool Vardhan sir but she had no other option.

"Hmmm Aaj kal Dream Team ke baare me Kuch Zyada uh soch rahe ho tum dono..I am impressed" Vardhan sir, gave them both a tough look and said, "Well, You guys can leave now"

Randhir and Sanyukta hurried outside as if they were waiting for this opportunity. Once they went out of Vardhan sir's sight, they let out of sigh of relief.

Randhir: Thank god!

Sanyukta: Ab God ko Kyun thank kar rahe ho?

Randhir: Arey yeh Socho! Thank god Vardhan sir ki CCTV sirf FITE pe laga hua hai us mandap me nahi, Warna ab tak unhe Sab Kuch pata Chal Gaya hoga. Randhir laughed out loud, Sanyukta joined the laughter.. They hi-5ed each other..

Vardhan sir was listening to this conversation of them.. "Good it's good! Toh fir kal Bahut maza aayega! I just hope everything goes well"

Randhir and Sanyukta had no idea what was awaiting them the next day!!
