Always Be Mine - Part 45

Part 45:

"Miss Agarwal! Will u mind seeing the board for a change or u prefer to look outside? If u want, you can get out in order to get a better view!" Prof. Vardhan screamed..

Sanyukta rose from her chair, she was frightened as if she was about to be eaten up by a tiger.. She managed to face Prof. Vardhan but still couldn't control her eyes from looking outside.. Prof. Vardhan knew something was wrong, he judged it by her worried looks.. If Sanyukta was worried, it had to be either for Randhir or by Randhir, but it was always Randhir without doubt.. His eyes fell on Randhir's chair which was empty...

"Sor... Sorry sir!" She managed to speak up..

"Where is Mr. Randhir Singh Shekawat? Doesn't he know that he has a damn class to attend!" He patted her table in anger, which frightened her more..

"Sir Randhir isn't picking our calls.. He was here for PKC sirs class.. I guess he is in some kind of a trouble.. Should I go and check?" Sanyukta wondered from where she had gathered so much courage to say those words to Prof. Vardhan..

"Interesting very interesting!! So he only wanted to attend Mr. PKC's class.. Hmmm.. If u wanna go and check then don't u dare enter my class ever.. U got it?" He shouted..

That's it, that angry voice made Sanyukta shred off all the courage she had gathered.. No one can argue with Vardhan sir and win it so easily.. She reluctantly sat down on her chair., Vardhan corrected his specs that had almost fallen upto his nose, gave one last look at Randhir's chair and proceeded to the board..

All Sanyukta could do, was to wait.. "It's okay Randhir even if you get scolded by Vardhan sir it's perfectly fine with me.. Please come back.. I wanna see you right now.." She closed her eyes and prayed hard.. She was constantly looking at her watch every now and then.. It seemed to be the longest lecture she had ever heard.. For the first time ever, she wasn't listening to whatever Vardhan sir was saying.. Her hands kept trying his number.. She could hear the voice of the automated girl again.. "THE PERSON YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH IS OUT OF COVERAGE AREA"

Finally, Vardhan sir said, "Okay guys I hope you people understood the topic I taught you today.. Any questions? Else we can regroup tomorrow?"

"Sir no questions.. I understood everything.. We ll regroup tomorrow.." Sanyukta said in a hurry and ran out of the class in a flash.. Her legs weren't in her control anymore.. She looked for him everywhere, Canteen, library, his hostel room, basketball court.. She searched for him in every nook and corner possible.. Randhir wasn't there... Sanyukta sat on the bench, she was about to cry and that's when she heard Jiggy's voice..

"Sanyukta kya hua? Tum Aise kyun Chali aayi class se? Sab thik hai na?" Jiggy and Kaustuki were concerned..

"Jiggy thank god Tum aa Gaye.. Please woh app Ab b hai na tumhare paas.. Please jaldi trace Karo Randhir ke number ko and pata lagao woh kaha hai.." Sanyukta almost forgot to breathe..

"Okay Tum ruko.. Mein abhi try Karta Hun.." Jiggy opened the application and keyed in Randhir's number, and hit Trace.. It answered "Phone is down!"

"Arey Sanyukta yeh Randhir bhai ka phone off hai.. Yeh app sirf switched on mobiles ko track kar sakta hai.. I am really sorry.. Waise woh bache Thodi na hai.. Yahi Kahi hogay, aa jayega.. Tum chinta mat Karo.." They left the place

Sanyukta felt as if her world was about to stop.. What Jiggy said was right, Randhir is matured enough to handle himself par only she knew "woh mature kam aur Pagal zyada hai"
Pata nai kaha Hoga Randhir.. She felt like crying.. But then, she knew rone se Kuch nai Hoga... I ll have to find Randhir.. She had left one place, waha b check kar leti hun.. Sanyukta rushed to the mechanical lab.

On the way, she kept enquiring everyone passed by.. All answered in unison "No we haven't seen Randhir since morning." It was empty, there was no trace of Randhir there as well.. Sanyukta couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she dialed his number for one final time... The moment she heard the automated tone, she threw her phone away.. It crashed on the wall and fell on the floor.. She fell down on her knees and started weeping "Kahan ho Randhir.. Kahannnnnn??? Kyun itna Dard de rahe ho Mujhe..! Agar Mujhse koi galti hui ho toh please Maaf kar dena! Agar saza hi deni hai toh Kuch aur de dena!! I hate this punishment.. It's killing me Randhir.. I want you now, right now, right infront of my eyes..!" She placed her hands on her face and started to cry.. "Randhir pleaseeee!!"

Just then, she felt a hand on her shoulder.. She immediately recognized it.. How many times has she felt that hand on her!!! It wasn't hard to recognize, wasn't hard at all.. Sanyukta got up in a flash, when she turned, it was Randhir standing tall.. Too much of emotions were killing Sanyukta.. She first touched him all over, made sure he was indeed fine.. Went back a bit, stared him with those fiery eyes and gave him a tight slap on his face.. She continued to hit him on his chest.. It was as if all her feeling were pouring out.. She had no one to share her pain with.. Hence, she chose to share it with the one who was responsible for it..   Those tense moments, were the most hated moments in her life.. She hated Randhir for making her go through that.. Randhir did not stop her, rather he provoked her to hit him more... Sanyukta was crying while doing so, Randhir, instead of stopping her, he wiped away her tears that were rolling down her cheeks.. Sanyukta lost herself in his love, and hugged him tight.. Randhir hugged her back.. No words were exchanged.. They were feeling each oh her from within.. He patted her back slowly in order to make her feel better.. He knew very well what she was expecting..

"I ll never leave you alone Sanyukta! Never, trust me!" He promised.. A lone year escaped from his eyes.. He was hiding something in his hand, he carefully put in inside his pocket without her knowledge.. Randhir tightened his grip.. Sanyukta felt safe in his arms..

Always Be Mine - Part 44

Part 44:

Randhir had his gaze still fixed on the corridor, he could feel how confused she must have been by now.. He went till the corridor and checked twice if she had indeed left. She was gone.. He came back into the room, locked the door, went and stood infront of the mirror "Pagal kya karne jaa raha tha tu? Hosh me ho b ya nahi? Woh ladki kuch bolti nahi hai iska matlab yeh nai ki tum jo man me aaye woh karoge.. Did you even ask her permission before kissing her? Jab dekho use breathless kar dete ho!!  Sharam bilkulll nahi rahi tujhme.." he was blaming himself.. " So what if you are married to her? That doesnt give you all the right to show your dominance on her.. What if she was dying inside when you tried those stuff on her? What if she starts hating you? Why do you have to hurry so much? Puri life padi hai tumhare saamne.. You have to take her fully only when you earn the right of doing so.. Tab tak dur raho usse samjhe?" he threatened his image on the mirror. Randhir nodded his head in agreement.. He promised to himself he wouldnt go beyond his safe limit.. If needed, I ll keep my distance from her..

Randhir quickly took his shower, dressed up hurriedly, picked up his book and rushed out of his room.. When he reached the class, PKC was still trying to explain something which he himself wasnt sure about.. He slowly peaked his way into the room, and reached for his chair. While passing, he looked at Sanyukta from the corner of his eye, she was doing so as well. Randhir sat on his chair, Sanyukta turned back to look at him.. She looked him up and down, still confused.. Randhir avoided her eyes, he put his head down. He was feeling shy to face her. Sanyukta turned back to face the board "Iska tabiyat toh thik hai na?? Pata nai kya chalta rehta hai iske man me.. Bhagwan ji mujhe itna shakti aur himmat dijiye thaki Engineering khatam karne se pehle isse samaj paun.." she prayed..

 Randhir was stealing glances at her.. When he made sure, she wasnt looking at him anymore, he made it a full time task to adore her.. He wore a cute smile on his lips, when he remembered the way he punched on her nose.. Yoyo was scratching his head seeing Randhir smile to himself..

"Bus yahi din dekhna baaki reh gaya tha.. PKC ke wajah se Randhir paaji b pagal ho gaye.. Ab FITE aur Dream Team ka kya hoga? " YoYo wondered.. "Randhir Paaji..Randhir paaji.. Aap aise kya dekh rahe ho?"

"Mein Sanyukta ko nai dekh raha hun Yoyo.. " Randhir replied in a hurry..

"Toh meine kab kaha ki aap Sanyukta ko dekh rahe ho? Mujhe laga aap pakao PKC ke wajah se pagal ho gaye ho.."

Randhir was cornered.. Yoyo didnt even mention her name, but Randhir filled it in. No matter wherever the convo starts, it always ends up in Sanyukta.. Randhir blushed yet again..

When class ended, Randhir almost ran out of the class, he just wanted to avoid Sanyukta that day.. He had no courage to face her. Sanyukta felt very weird to see Randhir behave this way..  Sanyukta rushed behind him.. But there was no trace of him. He had vanished into thin air. She picked up her phone and dialled his number.. It rang but no answer.. She tried once, twice, thrice but no, the result the same, No answer.. She made up her mind.. Next class was about to start in a while, he would definitely wont dare to miss Prof. Vardhan's class..

"Aane do.. Dekh leti hun.." she pumped her fist, entered the class, waited for him to come.. Minutes passed but there was no sign of him coming back.. Her anger slowly was getting converted into concern.. She was already missing Randhir.. Without his presence, even class seemed like hell. Sanyukta glanced at his chair, it was empty.. She hated to see it empty..

Prof. Vardhan arrived at the right time.. He was never late and he hated late comers.. Sanyukta was more worried now.. "Randhir ab ayega toh bahut kuch sunna padega Vardhan sir se..I cant see him being scolded.. " she was hell worried.

Time passed, Sanyukta's eyes were fixed on the doorstep, there was no sign of Randhir coming back.. Vardhan was busily writing something on the board, she was very sure he wouldnt look back atleast for 2 minutes.. Sanyukta bent down a bit, went under the table, dialled his number .. This time it said " THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL IS CURRENTLY SWITCHED OFF"

The moment she said that automated tone, her mood got switched off.. Randhir never turns his phone off, never ever.. Where the hell has he gone? Sanyukta was beginning to get restless..

Always Be Mine - Part 43

Part 43:

Randhir had almost transferred his whole body weight on her. This has been the very first time, she has ever been so close to him. He could feel her smell, it was lingering all over. It indeed did something to him.

Randhir's POV:

Yeh ladki itna close rahegi toh mein apne aap ko rok b nai paunga.. God, she is looking damn beautiful. Kya ada hai iski, ek na ek din she is going to kill me with her looks. Abey pagal, kisi aur din ki baat kar raha hai tu, aaj ka soch.. Aage kya karne ka irada hai. Why Am I so addicted to this girl? Why is she driving me crazy all the time she is around me? Use dur se dekhun, tabhi nind ud jaata hai mera, ab itni close up mein dekhunga toh, by god, kuch kar na baite..

Sanyukta was somehow loving this moment, she had never been close to anyone before. The way, Randhir looked into her eyes intently made her go weak. She looked away, it was impossible for her to catch his eyes anymore. It was already eating her up.

Randhir slowly removed her lock of hair that was caressing her lips, he pushed himself closer to her.. Sanyukta was deliberately diverting her attention to look away. His mild touch sent out a chill in her spine. Randhir placed his hand on her right cheek and forced her to face him.. She immediately closed her eyes. She had something flying in her stomach.. He leaned forward, pecked her lips gently, caressed it for a few seconds. Their breathing got heavier..Randhir couldnt take it anymore, he had enough of the baby kiss, he immediately went for a passionate kiss.. He imbibed her upper lip, she returned the favors.. Next moment, their tongues were caressing each other.. Sanyukta was totally lost in his passionate yet elegant kiss.

Sanyukta was fighting hard to breathe, but still was in no mood to break the kiss. He was showing her his passionate way of loving. She was enjoying it. Who on earth will say 'No' when the guy you are totally in love with, shows you how much he loves you. She wasnt an exception too. After 5 mins of passionate kissing, Randhir released her lips.. He saw sanyukta breathe hard, he let his face rest on hers. Her breath was caressing his face now. Randhir slowly drove his lips to travel all over her, he kissed her on her eyes, nose, pecked her lips, chin, made his way to her neck. Randhir's hand was travelling all over her, forcing her to hug him.. He was gently placing his kiss all over her neck. Her mind was fighting with her heart..

Sanyukta's POV:

What is he doing to me? Should I stop him or should I let him proceed? Letting him proceed Ki matlab jaanti ho na Tum? Am I ready for it? Am I really ready for it? No I am not ready, yes I am, Arey we are a couple now.. Isme galti kya hai? No, this isn't the right time.. Agar Mein mana karun, toh he might get upset with me.. Kya karun Mein! Kuch samaj nai aa rahi hai! No Sanyukta, u shouldn't say No he is your husband.. So what if he is your husband? She argued both ways.. Finally, her heart said, yes I am ready.. I am ready to be his's totally..

Randhir was totally involved in her.. He was caressing her neck with his hands.. Sanyukta hugged him back tight, she was ready to give this relationship a new turn.. She buried her fingers into his shoulder, Randhir suddenly pulled himself away.. Took the bed sheet that was lying on her side and covered her up.. Got up from he bed and went near the window, his back facing Sanyukta..

When she opened her eyes, he had already gone far away from her.. Sanyukta was totally confused.. She gathered enough courage, still was hesitant to call him by his name.. When she did, there was no response.. He was still looking outside the window, panting heavily.. Sanyukta pulled her dupatta that was lying the floor, covered her up.. She called him once again..

"Randhir!"

"Class ke liye late ho raha Hun Mein... Tum please yaha se Jao Sanyukta.. I ll have to get ready.. I ll meet you in the class in five minutes.." He said hurriedly as if he had a train to catch..

Sanyukta still couldn't believe what was happening with her.. Lips that were caressing her so far was comfortably lying as if nothing had happened between them.. Eyes that were preying on her a while back, wasn't able to meet her eyes anymore.. She was forced to think whatever happened was just a dream.. May be Randhir never touched me.. I am the one imagining all the stuff.. For a moment, she even believed it to be a dream.. But no, when she touched her neck, it pained.. He had left a mark thankfully so that she could understand it wasn't her dream..

Sanyukta got up, gave a confused look at Randhir who was still looking away from her and made her way out of the room..

Sanyukta's POV:

Randhir ko Kash Mein Kabhi samaj paati.. Jab paas aata hai toh itna paas aa jaata hai Ki I can't avoid him, jab dur jaata hai toh itna dur chala jaata hai Ki chahke b Mein use rokh na paun.. Mangalyaan Mars Mein b land ho Gaya par agar mere bas chale toh I ll make a satellite Jo Randhir ka Dil pe land hoke Mujhe uski Dil Ki tasveer bej de.. Shayad tab hi Mujhe pata chalega ki mere Randhir ke Dil me kya hai.. Mujhse koi galti toh nai ho gayi na! I don't even know what to do.. Anyways, I don't have an option other than waiting for him.. I ll wait for you Randhir I ll wait for you..

Sanyukta neared the door, gave him another glance.. He wasn't interested in looking at her.. She left the room with hundreds of unanswered questions..

The moment she left, Randhir looked at the doorstep.. He had a worried look on his face.. He whispered "I am sorry Sanyukta!"

Always Be Mine - Part 42

Part 42:

"Randhir bhai! Arey Randhir bhai! Uto na.. Class pe nai Jaana hai kya?" Randhir was sleeping on his bed, his eyes closed tightly but mouth wide open.. He hadn't slept the whole night.. He was holding her pic and was busily feeling jealous on his lips, "How lucky are my lips! baar baar chu jaati hai yeh meri Sanyukta ko!" He was in his late teen's but he was going red like a 16 year old  whenever he thought about her.. She made him blush.. Admire karte karte kab so Gaya pata b nai chala use.. It was already 10, PKC was shouting from the bottom of his stomach...

"Arey yeh Randhir bhai ko koi toh utao.. !" Jiggy was worried, Parth had already left for the class "Waise b Randhir bhai toh Rank no. 1 hai, unhe PKC ka class attend karne Ki kya zaroorat? Par Mein!!! Mujhe toh Jaana Hoga warna, pakka PKC Ki subject me b fail ho jaunga... Isme toh Yoyo b achi numbers laata hai.. Agar iske subject me fail hua toh kaustu ka saamna kaise karunga Mein!" Jiggy was now worried about his future.. When he had to choose between Randhir and Kaustuki, he chose kaustu.. Ek Ki Ladki hai is duniya Mein Jo Mujhse pyar karti hai.. I can't let her go.. Jiggy rushed outside the hostel room, leaving Randhir alone..

Sanyukta was also late that day.. She couldn't sleep as well.. Sanyukta knew if PKC caught her late, he would waste all the energy he had from his heavy breakfast on her... She peeped inside the class through the window.. Her eyes fell on one place, it was empty.. Parth Sahil Kaustuki Jiggy Vidushi everyone were present except Randhir.. She was worried.. "Randhir Ab tak nai aaya? Par kahan Hoga?" She took out her phone and dialed his number.. It flashed his smiling picture and said "Calling ur Cutie Pie" it automatically brought a lovely smile on her face..

Randhir's phone kept ringing, once twice thrice, but the result was same, "The subscriber you have called is currently busy!" Sanyukta felt irritated to hear that voice.. "Subah subah pata nai kiske saat busy hai!" Even an automated female voice from his phone drove her mad.. She was owning him completely now.. "Shayad Jiggy ho pata Hoga!" She signaled Jiggy, who had been busily copying from kaustuki's notes.. Jiggy was startled to see Sanyukta whistle in order to grab his attention.. "Sanyukta Tum waha kya kar rahi ho? Andar aao na!" He whispered.. Sanyukta pointed her finger towards Randhir's desk and said "Randhir kaha hai?" "Randhir bhai toh so rahe hai kamre me!" Jiggy made a sleeping pose in order to make Sanyukta understand what he was trying to convey.. Just then a chalk flew and fell on his face.. It was straight from PKC itself.. Sanyukta hid herself behind the window..

"Jignesh.. Kya kar rahe ho?" PKC was breathing heavily..

"Arey PKC bhai woh Randhir bhai nai nai woh Sanyukta..!" Jiggy was blabbering as usual.,

"Sanyukta kab se tumhare bhai ban gayi.. Dekho Mujhe aur irritate mat Karo.. Meri class me sone ka haq kisiko b nai hai.. Samjhe?" PKC voice drowned.. "Tum sab se haat jodke Vinti karta Hun, please mat Sona.. Mera umar ka toh khadar karo..!" He pleaded and turned to get back to his board with a wide yawn.. Whole class burst out laughing.. PKC was indeed a entertainer in this otherwise boring engineering classes..

Sanyukta found it very weird to get into boys hostel.. It's not that she has never been there before.. Of course she has gone into his room couple of times, but never through the front door.. She had always chosen the window way.. Sanyukta peeped in slowly and walked without making any noise so that nobody spots her getting into Randhir's room.. In a way, she felt very funny "Why am I getting so nervous? He is my husband after all.. Secret husband though!"

Sanyukta got into his room, closed the door from behind and locked it from inside.. When she turned, she saw her cute little baby sleeping on the bed.. His phone was on his face, he must have slept while holding the phone, she assumed..

Sanyukta made sure not to make any sort of noise, she was in a playful mood.. She wanted to play a prank on him.. Randhir was sleeping with his bed sheet on.. She slowly went beside him, removed the phone from his nose and placed it aside.. She took her dupatta, folded it in the corner, and inserted it slightly into his nose.. There was absolutely no reaction from him.. He was indeed sleeping like a machine.. She bent down even further and carefully tried inserting the cloth once again, this time a bit far into the nose..

At the same time, in Randhir's dreams, he saw someone holding Sanyukta's hand and dragging her away from him.. Randhir tried to run in order to stop him.. But he couldn't run, he felt helpless.. Someone is taking her away from me.. I need to stop him.. Randhir ran as quickly as possible and went past him.. When he turned to see who it was? He was shocked.. It was Chomu, the villain of his life! Randhir went near him, grabbed her back from him and gave Sameer a hard punch on his face..

"Ahhhh!!!" Sanyukta screamed and fell on Randhir.. He was startled by the voice.. Randhir opened his eyes and rolled over Sanyukta.. He couldn't believe what he saw.. Is it Sanyukta for real? What is she doing in my room? In my bed? He was shocked.. Randhir had actually hit Sanyukta in real thinking he was hitting chomu in his dreams.. Sanyukta's plan had backfired.. She was rubbing her nose gently, when she tried to wake up she was shocked, he had been wearing only a shorts.. "Che!" She closed her eyes, Randhir realized suddenly what she was referring to, and covered him completely with the blanket.. In the process, he once again fell on Sanyukta.. Now, there was absolutely no distance between them.. Randhir and Sanyukta were once again lost into each other's eyes..!

Always Be Mine - Part 41

Part 41:

It was raining so hard and heavily, Sanyukta could hardly locate anyone in the dark.. Still her eyes could easily see the person sitting on the bench.. She could also see that the person was weeping.. Her heart raced fast, "Yeh Randhir hi hai na? Yahan kya kar raha hai?" She rushed to the bench.. "Randhir Randhir uto.. Baarish me baitke kya kar rahe ho?" She almost screamed.. Randhir tried to hide his tears, he always believed "Men don't cry.. It makes them look weak" He thought she wouldn't be able to spot his tears.. But who says it isn't possible!! A best friend is the one who can locate your tears even when u stand in the rain, completely drenched! Sanyukta was worried to see hum that way..

"Randhir tum ro rahe the na? Par Kyun? Kya hua tumhe? Mujhse share nai karoge?" She asked one after the other.. Randhir was numb, he was mutely looking at her..

"Sanyukta yeh tum kya Bol Rahi ho! Mein ro nai raha tha!" Randhir put forward his weak defence..

"Jhoot mat bolo Randhir.. Mujhe pata hai tum ro rahe the.. Look into my eyes and say it once ki tum nai ro rahe the.. Mein maan jaungi.." She tried to corner him.. But Randhir had made up his mind not to tell her anything.. He looked into her eyes and said "Nai ro raha tha mein Sanyukta.. Sachi.." He put his head down at once..

She placed her hand in his chin, cupped his face and said "Randhir tumhe pata hai na! Already mein hurt hun, jo b Kuch der Pehle hua usse.. Please tum b mujhe hurt mat karo.. Jhoot mat bolo.. Please Randhir.."

The moment she said "Please Randhir!!" He lost.. He lost he bet.. No force in the world could stop him now from sharing his feelings.. Randhir burst out crying.. Who said men don't cry, not always, but when they do, they do it whole heartedly.. Unlike women, they believe in burying everything inside.. Randhir wasn't going to do it today, he wanted to cry.. He wanted to desperately feel her..

Randhir rushed into her arms, hugged her tightly.. His tears were flowing freely now.. Sanyukta knew he needed it the most.. She kept caressing his back, with one hand and hugged him firmly with the other.. For 5 minutes, they didn't speak a word, it wasn't necessary as well. Randhir was getting dissolved in her arms, she was absorbing all his pain.. Rain washed away the whole place, along with their bad phase of life..

Sanyukta was the first one to break the silence... "Randhir please rona mat.. Mere liye.. I know u r hurt.. Jo b hua acha nai hua.. Papa ke taraf se mein maafi maangti hu tumse.. Please Sab Kuch bhul jao.. I am sure Ek din Sab Kuch thik ho jayega"

Randhir hugged her more tight.. His heart was admiring her "Kis mitti se bani hai yeh ladki.. Jo b mujhe kehna chahiye woh Sab Kuch yeh keh Rahi hai.. She was the one who got hurt not me, still she is consoling me.. Apni dard chupake mujhe apna Rahi hai.. Khuda, mujhe Itni khushnaseeb Kyun banaya aapne!" He looked up at the sky..

Randhir pulled himself away from her grip.. "Sanyuktaa..." He could hardly speak..
"Randhir it's okay.. Kuch bolna mat.. Mein samaj sakti Hun.." Sanyukta interrupted..
Randhir placed his finger on her lips and stopped her from speaking.. "Ek min meri baat sunogi?" He asked

Sanyukta nodded her head in agreement.. "Tumhe kisne kaha ki mein hurt hoke to raha Hun.. Pagli.. Mein toh khushi ke aansu baha raha tha.. I couldn't take so much of happiness in a day.. Mujhe pata hi nai chala ki mein iss khushi ko express kaise karun.. Bus ro diya.. "

Sanyukta was surprised to hear Randhir say this way.. She was spellbound.. Randhir continued "I never knew ki I am the most luckiest person in this whole world.. I always felt I have no one to rely upon.. I have spent my childhood all alone, kabhi koi nai hota tha mere saath.. I am a loner all the time.. It's not that I don't like to be in somebody's company.. It's just that nobody was ready to give me company.. Aaj Pehli baar kisiko mere liye Khada hote hue dekha hai meine.. For the first time ever in my life, I knew I had a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry, a person to share all my feelings.. Aaj mujhe pata chala ki I am not alone, I have you, I have my Sanyukta with me.. Trust me, Pehli baar khushi ke maare ro pada meine.. Had I not cried, I would have definitely died out of happiness.. " when Randhir finished, Sanyukta had nothing to say..

She joined him in tears.. They both cried together, and soon smiled and ended up laughing.. That was the best day of their lives.. Sanyukta tried to ease the situation.. She faced him and said "Randhir tum pyaar b sadu banke Kyun karte ho?" Randhir smiled a bit "Acha toh mein kitne romantic Hun Aaj prove kar dunga.." Randhir pulled her close and kissed her all of a sudden.. She was first stunned but then, she saw it coming.. It was the most tender kiss anybody could give and anybody could receive.. Sanyukta was amazed by the way he was pouring his love on her.. She suddenly realized they were in the basketball court of FITE, she pulled herself back with a smile.. Randhir had his eyes closed still, she pecked his forehead with a soft kiss.. He opened his eyes slowly to see his Angel.. There she was, all smiling..

Sanyukta pulled his hand and dragged him along with her.. He walked like a cute kid admiring her all the way.. She noticed him doing so, turned to face him and said "Randhir Ek baat bolun?"

"Bolo na!"

"Phir kabhi mat rona okay! Promise karo mujhe!" She made a puppy face

"Sanyukta tum meri kitni chinta karti ho.. Promise mein kabhi nai rounga!!" He was touched by her concern!

"Arey isliye nai Bol Rahi thi.. Woh kya hai na jab b tum rote ho yeh shakal dekhne layak nai hota.. Bahut kadoos dikhte ho.. Mujhe na dar lagta hai" she laughed out loud..

"Tumhe Aaj mein nai chodunga.. Kadoos bola na Tumne mujhe.. " he chased her.. She flew from the place like a butterfly..

Rain started to pour down more heavier, creating a perfect rhythm for their romance.. They weren't aware of what was about to happen the next day.. Atleast this day belonged to them, totally..

Always Be Mine - Part 40

Part 40:

Sanyukta pushed Randhir, (who was still leaning on her), away from her.. She did not expect that person to come there at that point of time even a wee bit.. On any other day, she would've been the happiest person on earth to see him there but not today.. Her heartbeat was so irregular.. She was tensed.. The person continued to clap his hands..Randhir was embarrassed as well.. He didn't want his father in law to see them that way.. Sanyukta's father Kishore it was..

 "Wah Sanyukta wah!! Naam roshan kar diya tum ne mera.. Sirf yehi din dekhna baaki reh gaya tha.. Bus yeh b dekh liya.. Badi badi baatein kar rahi thi, Engineering college jaana hai, Engineer banna hai, par yaha jo raha hai usse dekhke aisa nai lag raha hai mujhe..Bilkul b sharam nai hai na tumme?" Kishore kept talking.. He even forgot the fact that he was talking to his daughter.. For him, she never existed. It was all about his son, beta hi naam roshan karega.. Beti toh sirf kitchen me khana banane ke liye hoti hai aur pati ka sewa karne ke liye.. He belonged to oldest of the centuries. Little did he know that the amount of respect she had for him, Ankit could never match it, never ever..

"Papa.. Aap yahan? Ayiye na papa.."Sanyukta brushed aside everything he said, every bad thing.. She became deaf for a while, after all it was her dad. Dad, is the first hero for every daughter they would say. It was no different for Sanyukta.. She would forget every hurting word he said and would become happy when he hugs her caringly. She could any day die for her dad, such was the respect she had for him. Unfortunately, he had never noticed it so far.

"Welcome kar rahi ho? Sharam nahi rahi kya bilkul tujhme? Yaha is ladke ke saath puri college ke saamne aise? Chi.. Sab suna tha meine.. Jo b tamasha tum dono ne milke kiya abhi abhi.." Randhir's eyes were becoming red. His nerves were fighting within him. How dare he? How dare he call my sanyukta shameless? Did he just insult our love? I am not going to spare him..

Sanyukta reached her dad, and started crying holding his hand..She was badly missing his caring touch.. "Papa apko bahut miss kiya meine.. Aapse milke mujhe kitni khushi ho rahi yeh mein aapko bata b nai sakti.. Thanks papa aane ke liye.."

"Chodo mujhe.. haath mat lagana..." Kishore pushed his daughter away with full force.. He was behaving so wildly today. Sanyukta who was about to fall on the ground, was caught by Randhir. Thats it, he couldnt control anymore. His patience limit had been breached. He made her stand up, next moment he rushed towards Kishore.. Sanyukta caught his hand tightly, when he turned she signalled him not to react.. "Please Randhir.. yeh mere aur mere papa ke beech ka mamla hai, tum please dur raho isse" she pleaded..

Had she not caught him by his hand, it would have landed heavily on Kishore's face.. Randhir's brain was not in a position to calculate who meant what for him.. All he knew was someone had hurt his Sanyukta, she was in tears because of them. No matter whoever it was, he wasnt going to spare them. He had promised that he wouldnt hurt her anyday, if he himself didnt have that right, nobody in this damn world had it. His Sanyukta has no right to get hurt, he ll make sure she doesnt.

"Tu kya karega mujhe? Gussa aa raha hai? Arey sharam aani chahiye, gussa nahi.." Kishore continued his taunts.. Randhir was silent, only because of Sanyukta.. Sunne ka nai sunane ka aadat hai Randhir ko, par aaj bina kisi galti ke, woh itna kuch sun raha tha sirf sanyukta ke liye.. Yeh pyaar nahi toh aur kya?

Randhir did not react to any of Kishore's stupid taunts.. Still, his eyes were red, continuously staring at him.. At one point, Kishore himself couldnt control his anger.. He couldnt see someone standing right in front of him without reacting to any of his harsh words. The way, Randhir stared at him made him go wild.. He came forward, held Randhir by his collar, "Meri beti cheena tha na tumne mujhse, aaj mein tumhe nai chodunga.." he raised his hands to hit him.. Randhir closed his eyes, " Meri sanyukta ke liye jaan b de sakta hun, toh yeh thappad kya cheez hai" he was ready.. In a way, he provoked Kishore to vent all his anger on him, rather than on Sanyukta.. That way, he would atleast spare her, he thought.

Randhir opened his eyes hearing Sanyukta's voice.. "Aap aise nai kar sakte hai..!!!" He opened his eyes to see Sanyukta holding her dad's hands.. She had stopped his hand, from reaching Randhir's cheeks.. Randhir was shocked at the same time surprised to see his Sanyukta.. Kishore was shocked to the core.. Sanyukta had never raised her voice in front of him, since her childhood. To the outer world, she was bold and daring, but in front of her father, she always played mute. Not even once, she had argued with him, so far, but now she had stopped him from hitting Randhir. This one little gesture made Kishore realize that this man, Randhir Singh Shekawat was indeed special in her life.

"Nahi kar sakte papa.. Aapko koi haq nai banta hai Randhir pe haat utane ka.. Aapko yaad hai? Aapne khud kaha ki mein aapki beti nahi hu.. Agar mein aapki beti nahi hun, toh Randhir aapka kuch nahi lagta.. Uspe haat utane ka haq aapko kabhi nai milega.. Aaj aapne kar liya par dubara aise kabhi mat karna.. Warna mein bhul jaungi ki aap mere papa ho." Sanyukta said each and every word in such a clear manner, she meant every bit of it..

"Sanyuktaa...!" Kishore was stunned.. He has never seen this "roop" of hers before. It was totally new. Somewhere, he felt it wasnt his daughter Sanyukta talking, it was Randhir's wife who was conversing with him..

"Yeh insaan.. Dekh rahe hai aap? Sirf iske wajah se aaj aapki beti zinda hai.. Agar woh nai hota na, toh kabka mar chuki hoti mein.. Aur haan, ek aur baat, Mein Randhir se pyar karti hun, bahut pyar utna pyar jitna aap mumma se nai kar paye aaj tak.. Aur kya pucha aapne? Sharam nai hai kya? Yahi pucha tha na aapne? Toh mera jawab suniye.. nahi hai sharam.. Biwi hun mein uski, Pyaar karti hun usse isme sharmana kyun? Pyar kiya hai koi paap nai.. " Something inside sanyukta forced her to talk. She couldnt ever dare to say such words to her dad, had she not meant it. When she did, she knew Randhir was more important to her than anything else, anybody else.

Randhir was left stunned to see the happenings around him.. He couldnt believe what he heard. He always believed he loved her more. But no, there she was, proving him wrong.. She loved him so much, and there was a live demo going on. His mechanical mind called it a demo.. He was loving it, for the first time ever someone was standing up for him and not stabbing him from the back.

Kishore was stunned to talk anymore. He just couldnt.. He left the place in a hurry.. He came here to do something else but definitely didnt expect what had happened. I ll do this in a different way, he promised to himself and left the place.. Sanyukta saw him leaving, fell on her knees and started to weep.. "Maaf kar dijiye papa.. I never ever wanted to insult you, not even in my wildest dreams. Par jab aap Randhir pe haat utane jaa rahe the, mein khud ko rokh nai payi.. I couldnt let you hurt my Randhir.. I just couldnt" she kept crying.. When she looked back, it was an empty space, she was surprised.. "Randhir kaha chala gaya.. Why has he left me all alone?" she wondered.. But the next moment, she knew " He needs time, jo kuch b hua hai shayad usse woh bahut hurt ho gaya hoga.. I ll leave him alone for a while" she was beginning to crack the hard nut, Randhir Singh Shekawat..

Sanyukta was on her way back to her hostel, it was pouring down heavily, it was 5 PM but it looked as if it was 10 PM. Sanyukta loved rains always, but today neither she was in a mood to enjoy it nor admire it.. She was passing through the basketball court, when her eyes finally caught up something, actually someone.. Someone was sitting in the bench, all alone, weeping.. Her heart skipped a beat to witness that scene..

Always Be Mine - Part 39

Part 39:

Sanyukta approached Randhir, smile stuck in her lips.. These days, her lips go curve whenever she sees him, it wasnt in her control anymore. Randhir was no exception, all his 32 teeth were visible. For the first time ever, he was happy even after getting himself eliminated from the task. He could comfortably sit back and admire his Sanyukta at work.

"Thanks Randhir... Agar tum nai hote na, toh mein yeh nai kar paati kabhi b.. Tumne apne aap ko eliminate kara diya sirf mere liye.." tears tried to escape her eyes. Randhir immediately placed his hand, on her cheeks and rubbed it off.. "Oh hello.. Meine kuch b nahi kiya tumhare liye samjhi.. Jo b kiya apne liye hi kiya.." Randhir defended his move..

"Apne liye kiya? Matlab?" Sanyukta was confused..

"Haan.. Tum waha aise muh leke baiti hui thi na, I was tensed.. Aisa lag raha tha jaise koi boothni baiti hui thi.. Actually na, mein stomach pain ke wajah se nai ghira tha, tumhari shakal dekhke chakkar aa gaya tha mujhe" he couldnt control his laughter while saying so..

Sanyukta couldnt as well, she smiled and hit him slighlty "Tumhe bhoot lagti hu mein Mr. Shekawat", he tried escaping from her.. Her smile soon turned into a laughter, happy tears escaping her eyes, he once again rubbed it off. After all,  she was all he had in this world. He couldnt see her cry even in happiness.

Sanyukta hugged him tight.. She needed it badly.. His warmth was so soothing to her soul.. He hugged her back.. Suddenly, Sanyukta remembered something and pulled herself back, breaking the hug... "Randhir mujhe tumse Kuch puchna hai..!" Randhir was surprised "Haan pucho na..!"

"Randhir please bina kisi argument ke mere Sawal ka Jawab do ok?" Sanyukta pointed her finger towards him and asked like a cute little kid.

Randhir blushed " Okay meri jaan! Ab pucho b!"

"What is your long term wish that you wanna get it fulfilled but kabhi kar nai paya? Aisa Kuch hai kya? Batao na.."

Randhir, as usual was about to ask her some question but stopped himself after remembering what she said.. "Haan hai na..!" He answered..

"Acha kya hai woh? Mujhe Batao na please!" Sanyukta pleaded.

"Sanyukta Mujhe bas Ek hi wish hai.. I want to let this world know how much I love you.. Par pata nai kaise karun.. Kaise samjaun is duniya ko ki mein tumse kitna pyar karta Hun.." Randhir said at once.. It indeed seemed to be his long term wish.. It took two whole years for him to tell the girl he loved, how much he loved her.. One can imagine, how many years or decades will it take for him to convey the same in front of this whole world..

Sanyukta thought for a while.. "Okay Randhir!! Ab hum chalte hai.. " she turned.. He pulled her back " Hello madam Kahan jaa rahe hai aap.." Sanyukta was astonished by his move, "Arey I am going to my room.. Bahut nind aa rahi hai mujhe.. Kal raat se nai soyi na.."

"Bus Itna hi romance? Kaise girl friend ho yaar tum? Mein b kya kya soch raha tha pagalon ke tarah.. Ab ho Gaya na Sab satyanash!" He made a cute face..

"Mr. Shekawat for your kind information, mein aapki girl friend nai Hun... Biwi Hun aapke samjhe! Ache husband ke tarah mere baat chup chap maano.. Jao apne kamre mein.. Mujhe Bahut Kaam hai.."

"Haan jaata Hun.. Par uske Pehle task jitne ki Kushi me Muh toh mita karo yaar" he winked..

Randhir was getting a bit mischievous.. She exactly knew what he meant by "Muh toh mita karo yaar"  Sanyukta blushed.. Her cheeks went red.. She immediately said "hmmm okay.. Aankhein band karo.. "

Randhir was so happy .. "Farzi finally samaj gayi.. Thanks Bhagwan..." He closed his eyes and stood there, expecting a kiss.. Sanyukta went closer, she saw his smiling face, he looked very handsome.. Close up shot was perfect.. She neared his lips, Randhir could feel it.. Suddenly she dumped something inside his mouth.. It tasted like a chocolate.. Randhir opened his eyes at once to find PKC standing there, smiling wide at him..

"Congragulations Randhir.. Muh mita karo task jitne ke khushi me.." PKC giggled..

"Sir aap?" Randhir was shocked..

"Woh Sanyukta ne bataya tha mujhe ki tumhe chocolate khane ka man kar raha hai.. FITE ki top student ho na, isliye mere chocolate tumhe de diya.. Itna toh kar hi sakta Hun Randhir.. Hai na Sanyukta?" He turned to look at Sanyukta, who was smiling naughtily at Randhir..

"Of course sir Itna toh banta hai..." Randhir gave her a angry stare.. "Kya expect kar raha tha aur yeh kya ho Gaya mere saat.."

Sanyukta left the place smiling, she couldn't control her laughter seeing Randhir's face.. He was blinking and his expression was like a cute little kid, who had tasted lemon for the first time in his life..

Just then a peon entered, "Sir aapko Vardhan sir bhula rahe hai.. Dean ke cabin me"

PKC left the place immediately.. When he reached Dean's cabin, Prof. Vardhan and Dean were getting ready to go out.. Vardhan said "PKC mein aur Dean kahi bahar jaa rahe hai, Dream Team ke Kaam se.. We ll be back only tomorrow.. Till then, FITE is in your control.. Please take care.. I don't want any complaints.. Hope you understand.." PKC was so happy hearing to what Prof Vardhan said.. "Of course Vardhan.. You don't have to worry.. I ll take care.. Tum fikar mat karo.."

Prof Vardhan nodded his head and they were on their way to Delhi for some official purpose.. PKC could not believe his luck.. FITE, under my control.. I am feeling like the king of the jungle now.. He jumped, ran, shouted and even danced in the corridor.. PKC had completely forgotten about his weight.. In his wild dance moves, he slipped and fell down.. "Ahhhhhhhh!!" Peon came running, it was a tough task to lift PKC who was lying on the corridor.. Somehow they did, and took him to the medical room.. His short term Dean position was cut even more shorter..

Randhir was on his way back to his room.. He was cursing his luck "Tum na Randhir Kuch Kaam ke nai ho.. Tumhare kismat hi karab hai.. Tabi toh Sanyukta ke Jagah PKC ghus jaata hai!" People around him thought he had gone nuts, talking to himself.. But who cares, for Randhir only Sanyukta existed in his world, main lead.. Others were just supporting characters..

While he was busily conversing to himself, cursing his luck, he heard a voice that sounded so similar.. But where was it coming from? He looked around but nobody was there.. Only then he realized that the voice he was hearing to, was actually coming from the speakers hanging on the wall..

He heard the below lines from the voice coming out of the speakers! Whole FITE came to stand still, they were listening to each and very word that was being spoken..

"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".."

Randhir had heard those words before, it sounded so familiar.. I have definitely come across his somewhere sometime in my life.. He was sure par kahan??? The voice still continued..

"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."

God, it's my love letter to my Farzi!! The one I wrote for her during the village task.. Is she reading it out loud? Gosh!! She is.. She is reading it infront of the mike in Dean's cabin.. "Yeh buddhu b na!! I have to stop her somehow.. He rushed towards Dean's cabin.. She still continued..

"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 reached for the cabin.. He quickly placed his hands on the mike and stopped her from talking.. He was panting heavily.. He was running out of breath.. Still he managed to talk "Farzi yeh kya kar rahi ho Tum? Sabke saamne mere letter pad rahe ho!! Pagal ho gayi ho kya?"

"Randhir yehi tumhara wish tha na! I wanted to fulfill it on your behalf.. I wanted to tell this world how much you love me.. World ko kaise batana hai yeh Mujhe nai pata Atleast is college ko bata sakti Hun na!" She asked him cutely.. He loved the way she decided to open up.. When she herself didn't have any problem in announcing it to the world, neither did he.. He removed his hand from the mike, placed it in her mouth and stopped her from talking further.. He took his position in front of the mike, and started to speak his heart out.. He remembered each and every word in that letter..

"So here it goes.. For my Princess..  I hate to say this,  Randhir Singh Shekawat has lost only once in his life, that is NOW, and the person is YOU, Sanyukta Agarwal!. I surrender myself Sanyukta! Even if I die now, I ll be happy coz I have finally proposed my girl, my life, my love Infront of the whole world.. Love you always! ALWAYS BE MINE Sanyukta!" He turned to look at her.. She flew into his arms.. He kissed her gently..

Sanyukta freed herself from his arms and ran towards the corridor.. Randhir ran behind, pulled her close to the wall and locked her up inside his arms.. He was intently looking into her eyes.. They were two love birds totally in love, happily lost in each other..

Their cute sweet moment was cut short by the sound of someone clapping their hands.. When Sanyukta and Randhir turned to see who it was, both their eyes widened.. They were shell shocked!

Always Be Mine - Part 38

Part 38:

Vardhan sir continued "Team! As informed earlier, you have exactly 60 mins to complete this task. Task will be considered complete only when the Engine is fully up and functional. If you don't manage to fix it within 60 mins, you lose. FITE's reputation is at stake team.. Hope you understand the seriousness. I trust my team and I know they ll never let me down. Your time starts now!" Randhir was not able to concentrate on anything that was going around him. His eyes were totally fixed on his Sanyukta. She was longingly watching her Dream Team getting ready for the task, without her.

Vidushi had no idea what she was supposed to do with the Engine. She was neither interested in the Engine nor in the Engineering. All she was worried about was Parth, he was there so she wanted to be there. Jiggy, Kaustuki and Sahil were trying to understand what they were supposed to do. Parth was examining the engine. Still, it needed a real Engineer's interference, who is passionate about Engineering. One such Engineer has been deliberately kept away from the task and the other was completely lost in her thoughts..

Parth sighed "Randhir please concentrate on the task.. We have only 60 minutes. Already we have lost 5 mins"

"Kyun? Mein Kyun concentrate karun task pe? Paanch paanch engineers hai na, tum log Khud hi sambhalo.. Mujhe nai karna yeh sab" Randhir denied

Seeing Parth getting insulted Vidushi jumped in, "Randhir you can do this.. We chose u as 6th member of our team to help us not to ditch us like this.."

"Ditch? Oh my god! Vidushi madam, kya aapko ditching word ka asli meaning pata bhi hai.. You ditched Sanyukta, one of our best Engineers.. " Randhir was hell angry..

"Randhir come on.. Don't keep cribbing. Being an active member of the team we need to focus on the task.. Please, Parth samjao na use"

"I am not stopping you from focussing on the task Vidushi.. Am I? Tum toh FITE ki best engineer samajte ho apne aap ko.. Please carry on.. Fix the engine.. Let me see how you do it" Randhir kept going..

"I can definitely fix this engine.. Infact as a team we need to do it" Vidushi surrendered as she very well knew she is nothing without the team.

"Oh really? You and your team.. To hell with you all.. I can bet my life on it.. You guys can never fix this engine without us.. Us being Sanyukta and myself.. Tum jaise Engineers banne se desh ka nuksan pakka hai.." There was no stopping Randhir today..

Vardhan sir interfered " Team I am sure you know what is the purpose of you being here.. Would you mind focussing on the task rather than focussing on one another.." He tried to sound polite in front of the representatives..

Jiggy Sahil and Kaustuki had no clue on what to do.. They were being the silent spectators of the banter going on.. Parth very well knew that there was only one human being on earth who could control Randhir's aggression.. It was Sanyukta.. He quickly glanced at her, she gave a confused look. He signalled her to look at Randhir, who was busy quarrelling with Vidushi. Sanyukta called him at a lowest tone possible "Randhirrrr..!"

Randhir turned to face her almost instantly.. He raised his eye brows to ask her why she called him.. She signalled him towards the engine, put her hands together in a pleading way, and said "Please concentrate! Please....!"

Randhir looked at his watch.. They had almost wasted 10 mins without even touching the machine.. They now only had 50 mins to go.. "I know what to do.." Randhir said to himself, turned to see his Sanyukta, gave her a thumbs up and smiled..

That flashing smile was more than enough for her to fall in love with him all over again.. This guy is so special.. She once considered him as her worst enemy, biggest opponent, but now he was her biggest admirer, her first love.. Her whole team was against her, but this one man stood up for her against his whole team. Never in her wildest dreams had she thought something like this could ever happen.. But it was real, it was happening.. She had no complaints now.. She could smell the scent of Greese from Randhir's hands, for the first time ever she was happy doing so.. He was not a stranger anymore.

Randhir quickly examined the engine, it was indeed a very faulty piece of machine.. Vidushi tried to touch the machine, Randhir signalled her to stop "Agar tumhe help karna hi hai, toh dur  raho engine se.. Haath mat lagana.. "

Parth pulled her away and said "Tum Itni beizzati kaise seh Leti ho!"

​He isn't even considering you as a human being. So please stop becoming a fool infront of others. Agar kuch karna hi hai, toh sirf ideas dena, hum baaki sambhal lenge."

Parth was shouting at her, but still he was concerned about her. He always believed he didnt have any feelings for her, still he couldnt see her being insulted by Randhir. Randhir gave a angry look at Parth.. "Tum sab kuch kaam ke nahi ho.. 10 min hua hai par ab tak sirf ek dusre ke shakal dekhke time waste kar rahe ho.. 60 mins nahi 60 saal mein b tumme se koi b yeh engine thik nai kar pawoge.. It needs passion and dedication, jo mere paas hai aur love for machines jo us ladki ke paas hai jise tum logon ne milke eliminate kiya tha..Bus dekhte jao kya hota hai.."

Randhir knew Parth was capable of handling this, still he was sure that he will not be able to do it all alone. Even Randhir himself felt handicapped. He had always competed with Sanyukta in each and every task. He isnt used to such a weird situation where he had to work all alone.​

Parth knew for sure Randhir was missing Sanyukta, in a way even he did. Had she been around, it would have been just another task for them. In order to get Randhir straight, she was needed. Even Parth was helpless, nobody had the guts to go against Vardhan sir. Parth let out a sigh and started to work on the Engine.

Randhir's mind was racing fast. He was trying hard to fix the piece of machine lying infront of him but he failed. No way he was going to do it without having his Sanyukta around. But then, there was a ground rule, only 6 members allowed to do this task.

One of the representative's eyes fell on Sanyukta, who was longingly watching her dream team at work. He whispered to Prof. Vardhan, "Mr. Vardhan, who is the girl sitting in the corner? Why is she in the lab? Is she from your team?" Prof. Vardhan glanced at Sanyukta and answered plainly "Oh.. She is Sanyukta Agarwal, part of my Dream Team. She is just watching my team work, as you said, there were supposed to be only 6 people working on the task, so she chose to sit out for the betterment of the team.."

"Oh.. How good a performer she is? Are you sure your team isn't missing her expertise?" He raised his eyebrow.

"Oh dont worry.. She is good, but my best team is on the field. I dont think anybody will be missing her.. As you can see, they are already into the task" Vardhan knew he was lying, but he had to do so. Sanyukta could hardly believe what she heard. Why is he being so rude to me? Why? Wasnt he my inspiration? Everytime she saw Prof. Vardhan, she would get inspired. His one look would give her all the courage she needed to fight. His smile was the only big appreciation she considered worth so far.​ But now, the same Vardhan sir was hell bound in crashing her dreams..

Prof. Vardhan pointed his finger towards Randhir and said "Look at him Randhir Singh Shekawat, he is the best.. " he glanced towards Sanyukta.. She was proudly looking at Randhir, she looked him back and nodded in agreement "I agree sir!" That was the only thing on earth she could agree upon with Vardhan sir right now.. Otherwise, he looked like a murderer, killing her dreams.. When Prof. Vardhan and Sanyukta were still lost in their own thoughts, they heard a loud thud.. "Ahhhhhh!" Someone shouted.. It didn't take much longer for anyone out there to realize whose voice it was..

It was indeed Randhir!!! He fell down on the floor and was shouting literally "Ahhhh" Sanyukta was the first one to reach him.. She was so tensed.. Randhir was rolling on the floor with his hands on his stomach... "Ahhhh my stomach is achinggggg... I am not able to get up.. Pata nai mere pet ko kya ho Gaya.. Itna Kyun dukh raha hai...!!!" Whole dream team was just staring at him.. Sanyukta sat behind him, her hands were shivering, she couldn't see her Randhir in pain.. "Randhir tumhe kya ho Gaya? Tum thik ho na.. Mein medicine leke aati Hun Ruko.." Sanyukta was about to get up when Randhir pulled her back, she almost fell on his chest..

Randhir winked at her "Farzi.. Kuch b nai samjhogi kya? Sab Kuch mujhe hi samjhana padega.. Uff yeh ladki b na.. Ab Isi Haal me Zyada nai samjha paunga.. Just go and finish the task.. I ll explain you everything later.. I trust u.. Mere trust mat Thodna.. One last thing, I love you" he winked yet again..

Sanyukta smiled.. She knew what exactly he had done.. Aur samjhane ka Zaroorat hi nai tha..

5 mins back:
----------------

Randhir took a closer look at the engine.. After 5 mins of complete examination, he knew what needs to be done.. He had been spending his life with machines for more than a decade.. Uske alawa koi aur nai jaan sakta ki Aakhir machines kya hota hai.. He knew machines in and out.. Machines ke saat rehte rehte Khud machine jo ban Gaya hai woh.. "Yes I ll crack it within 20 mins.. If I can do it, my Farzi can very well do it within 20 mins or even lesser than that.. I ll have to get her in somehow now.. Par kya karun? Should I do a blast like my Farzi? Nahi I can't do it.. Blast karunga toh FITE disqualify ho jayega..Kuch Socho Randhir Kuch Socho.. I know you can.. You will man! Think think" While Randhir was busy talking to himself, he heard what Vardhan sir said.. He called him his best student.. Yes sir, I am the best in whatever I do and I ll prove it to you yet again.. "Agar mujhe Sanyukta ko andar laana hai, then I need to go out.. Woh b bina kisi suspicion ki.. I know what I should do" he smiled and the next minute he was on the floor..

" Prof. Vardhan what is happening there.. Your best student is on the floor.. I guess he is unwell.. What will you do now?"  Vardhan was still staring at his team.. While the representative himself continued "Chaho toh you can pull in your another member to fill the gap.. Kya naam hai us ladki ka.. Haan Sanyukta Agarwal.."

Randhir was relieved to hear that.. He signalled Sanyukta to get up "Farzi ab uto b.. Romance Karne ka Jagah yeh nahi hai.. Mujhe admire baad me kar Lena.. Ab Sach me pet dukh raha hai.. Please uto mere upar se" he made a child face..

Sanyukta got up.. She pulled him up as well slowly, placed his hand on her shoulder.. Parth came to support.. They took Randhir towards the table and made them sit.. Sanyukta glanced at her watch.. They had already lost 30 mins of their task time..

Sanyukta turned to face Prof. Vardhan.. He said "Sanyukta Agarwal.. Take your position.. You replace Randhir in this task.. All the best!" Randhir smiled at his Sanyukta, that was exactly what he wanted.. When he saw Prof. Vardhan looking at him, he pressed his stomach hard and shouted "Ahhhh Itna Kyun dukh raha hai mera pet!!"

Sanyukta joined her team.. She took only 5 mins to examine the engine.. She at once realized what was the fault.. Randhir had very cleverly dismantled the machine in such a way, she could understand the issue very quickly.. Parth, Jiggy and Sahil helped in their own ways.. Vidushi wasn't interested in anything, all she did was to admire Parth..

Randhir sat exactly in the place, where she sat previously.. Only difference being, she was hell upset while sitting there, wherein he was hell happy to sit there and watch his princess at work.. He loved the way, she moved quickly, her hands playing efficiently with the machines.. "Is ladki ki jaan basti hai us machines me, aur meri jaan ispe.." He smiled..

Representatives announced "Time's up!" A second before they did, Sanyukta put her hands up.. "We are done sir! Our Engine is ready!"

Representatives examined the engine for 10 mins and announced "Very well done! Engine is fully up and functional.. Prof. Vardhan we are impressed by your team.. Congratulations.. In fact thanks to you, we saw some of the best engineers in action today"

Prof. Vardhan was a proud man.. His trick had indeed worked.. He not only managed to show them both what their real priorities were in life, he even used it as a weapon to win this task.. He was such a gem.. People could hardly understand what was going through in his mind.. Nobody has ever cracked Prof. Vardhan, nor they ll ever be!

Sanyukta turned to face her Randhir "Thank you Randhir!" Her eyes thanked him..

"Anything for you my Farzi!" He smirked..

Prof. Vardhan came forward to congratulate Sanyukta.. He even smiled at Randhir, who was still trying to act as if he was suffering from serious stomach pain.. He went near him " Well acted Randhir! I mean, well done..!" He left the place with a smirk..

Dream Team left the lab with a sense of satisfaction.. Leaving behind a long lost smiling Randhir and Sanyukta!

Always Be Mine - Part 37

Part 37:

Prof.Vardhan coughed a bit, and started to talk slowly.. "Team, I hope you all must be wondering why we have assembled here. Its of course for our next Dream Team task.. But, with a twist.. In exactly 30 minutes, we ll have a group of representatives from top companies visiting us. They would like to see how equipped my team is. I trust my team but they need proof.. A live demo..Woh engine dekh rahe hai tum log? " he pointed his finger towards the engine that was placed in a table in the centre. All the eyes fell on the machine.. It  was a gigantic engine, but looked damn attractive. Sanyukta thought, It must  be one of the engine made by one of the best engineers. She loved the machine at the sight of it. Her eyes clearly depicting the love she had for machines. Randhir stole a glance to look at her and as he expected she was admiring the machine. He smiled gently "Farzi mujhse zyada pyar machines se karti hai" he whispered

Prof. Vardhan turned to face his team, and continued " Yeh engine faulty hai.. You guys need to fix it in exactly 60 mins.. Your time will start once they come.. They ll be here any minute. So twist abhi baaki hai guys.. I need only 6 of them to do this task. I already have chosen 5 of them, Parth Jignesh Vidushi Kaustuki and Sahil.. 6th member position abhi kaali hai.. Now my 5 member team will decide who ll be there 6th partner.. It can either be Sanyukta or Randhir. We ll have a polling done, choose your pick wisely." That was the catch.. Randhir instantly understood what Vardhan sir was trying to do. He had given Sanyukta the worst punishment ever, even worse was his's.

To keep someone away from what they love is something that is well enough to shatter a person into pieces.. He was exactly doing that to Sanyukta. He knew she loved machines more than anyone else, thats the reason he chose this way to punish her. For Randhir, to see his Sanyukta shattered cannot match any other pain in the world. Vardhan sir, had cornered them both with this weird punishment. Sanyukta seemed shattered already, she knew something bad was going to happen.

Vardhan sir proceeded, "Guys I ll take your name, and you ll cast your vote.. So if you guys are ready, we will proceed.." Randhir felt helpless, he hated the fact that he couldnt do anything to stop Vardhan sir. He was handicapped.

Prof. Vardhan called out " Parth.. Your choice"

Parth looked at them both. Sanyukta's eyes were already moist. She was literally wishing he would take her name, so was Randhir. Parth knew it had to be a harsh decision, being friends with both Sanyukta and Randhir, he could not choose one. Both of them were talented. Still, considering the team's situation he chose to go with Randhir, the best player of the team.. He slowly said "Randhir!"

Randhir screamed out loud "Parth pagal ho gaye ho kya? Mera naam kyun le raha hai tu?"

Vardhan sir raised his voice "Randhir you are allowed to talk only when its ur turn. Now please let me do my work" and that silenced Randhir.

Prof.Vardhan looked at Vidushi.. She did not even need a second to think. She quickly said "Randhir!" It wasnt because she had thought about the betterment of the team, it was simply because she hated Sanyukta. Randhir was continously staring at Jiggy and signalled him to take Sanyukta's name. As usual, Jiggy was a confused soul. He instanly said "Randhir Bhai.." Kaustuki was the only soul to take Sanyukta's name. When it came upto Sahil, he at once said "Sir my vote goes to Randhir.. He is the best. I agree Sanyukta is good but Randhir is the best. Had it been anybody else, I would have definitely chosen Sanyukta. But when it comes to Randhir, I would always go with him.."

"So guys its decided..Majority of my team is with Randhir.. its 4:1 ratio.. So the clear winner is Randhir Singh Shekawat! Congrats Randhir.. Please join your team. The representatives will be here any moment now. Sanyukta, please go and sit in the corner table. You can watch all the happenings here but unfortunately cannot be a part of it" Vardhan declared

Sanyukta could not control her tears anymore. The person, she had admired so far, was trying to destroy her dream. What kind of a punishment it is? He cannot do this with me.. He cannot.. Sanyukta fell down on her knees, she burst out crying.. Randhir went near her, he made her get up and said "Tum kyun ro rahi ho? Rona band karo.." he turned towards Vardhan sir and said "Sir, Aap yeh faltu ka voting nahi kar sakte hai.. I can bet that I will fix this engine within 30 mins, or even lesser than that. So you should consider my vote, equivalent to this 5.. These people can never match my Sanyukta, I mean Sanyukta any day, not even in their dreams. She is by far the best engineer I have ever seen.. My vote goes to SANYUKTA.. I am stepping out. She ll fix this engine in 20 mins. I am betting my life on it"

When Randhir finished, Sanyukta felt so proud. For Sanyukta, Randhir was her inspiration. He was the Best Engineer she had ever seen. To hear those words from him, was so soothing for her soul. She glanced at him, with her eyes still moist.. There he was, as promised standing up for her. He would be by her side, no matter what. " YOU ARE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME RANDHIR.. YOU ARE THE BEST.. I LOVE YOU" Sanyukta thought..

Vardhan took over, "Randhir its my team and my decision will be final. You are the 6th member of this task. I dont want any arguments. Else, both of you will be sent home. Its not your damn house, its my college, my team, my rules!"

Just as when he was screaming at the top of his voice, all the representatives entered the lab one by one. Prof. Vardhan went out to receive them. Randhir was still glancing at his Sanyukta, helplessly. Sanyukta came near Randhir, held his hand, and said in a feeble voice "Randhir please.. Be a part of the team. I dont want our team to lose in this task. This is important. Its our college reputation that is at stake. Mein nahi hun toh kya hua, you are there na.. Its more than enough for me. Mein wahi baitungi, aur tumhe dekhti rahungi. I want you to make me feel proud.. Will you?" She asked

Randhir released his hand from her clutch, gave her a slight nod. By the time, all the representatives had taken their positions. Randhir joined his team, he wasnt interested at all, but he had to, his Sanyukta had asked him to do so, atleast for her, he had to do it.

Sanyukta smiled at him, turned and made her way to the corner table.. She felt as if she was going away from her dream, her passion, her Engineering... Something pricked her heart, and the pain was unbearable. She didnt even know how she reached the table, she threw herself in it, completely lost, her eyes wet.. Randhir was witnessing everything, he felt the pain more than her. It crushed him inside.

He wouldnt have given a damn had that punishment been forced on him. It would have been just another task for him. But now, seeing his Sanyukta in pain, his heart shattered into million pieces.

Randhir's eyes were still fixed on his Sanyukta, who was now staring at a blank space. Prof.Vardhan announced.. "Team, your time starts NOW"

Always Be Mine - Part 36

Part 36:

Randhir could hardly sleep that night, so was Sanyukta.. They had conveniently forgotten the fact that they were awaiting a punishment the next morning. It was like "Punishment se dar nai lagta sahab pyaar se lagta hai!!"

Randhir was lying in his bed, he had occupied the utmost corner of the bed, he was lying as if he could fall down anytime. Rest of the place, was completely occupied by his Mobile. He was continuously staring at it. He wished it would beep anytime, flashing the pic of his Sanyukta. She so wanted to call him. But then, she loved even this silent romance. She knew he would be thinking of her, he knew she would be thinking about him, nothing more was needed. Even words will not be able to express the love they were feeling for each other right now. Sanyukta remembered the magical evening that they spent together.. Bike ride, hug, kiss and the proposal, it was pure bliss.. She smiled thinking about the way he proposed her, he laughed out loud thinking about the lame excuse she gave Parth..

His loud laughter almost frightened Jiggy who was lying on the adjacent bed.. "Yeh Randhir bhai ko kya ho Gaya hai? Baarish me bhigne se koi pagal ho sakta hai kya? Randhir bhai aap thik ho na!" Jiggy whispered, pat came the voice "Jiggy chup chap so jao warna tumhara halat karab ho jayega..!!" That was all needed for already frightened Jiggy, he pulled himself into the bedsheet.. "Muh band karke so jao Jignesh.. Warna pitega tu Randhir bhai se" he warned himself..

Sanyukta could not hold herself away from the phone, she knew she had fallen in love with one of the worst romantic person in the world. "Machine se pyaar karogi toh use operate b tumhe hi karna padega sanyukta!" her heart warned.. She picked up her phone that was placed in the side table, dialed his number and disconnected it the next moment.."Mein call kyun karun? MCP ko... Text hi kar leti hu.."

She carefully typed the message..

"Hello.. Koi hai?" Randhir's eyes flashed seeing  his mobile popup "Text from "Tumhari Jeene Ka wajah" Ahh finally she did text me.. Randhir jumped in joy, landed up falling on the floor with a oud thud and screamed "Ahhh"  Parth woke up with a sudden jerk.. "Randhir kya hua? Uto.. Tum thik toh ho na?" Parth helped him get up..Randhir stood up with his hands holding his waist, it must have definitely hurt him. Randhir said "Mein thik hun Parth.. Tum jao so jao.. "

Parth asked him "Par tum ghire kaise?"

"Woh bura sapna dekha tha.. Isliye shayad.." Randhir tried to sound normal.

"Hmmm samaj sakta hu mein.. Vidushi ka close up dekha tha na isliye hua hoga... Chal koi baat nai so jao"  Parth sounded serious.. It seemed as if he had been having nightmares, Courtesy:Vidushi and her makeup.

As soon as Parth went to his bed, Randhir quickly  fell on his bed, pulled the bed sheet till his head, covered him completely so that the light could not escape.  Carefully opened the text message that read "Hello Koi hai?" He replied and their convo as follows..

"Koi nai hai yahan.."

"Koi nai ? Toh fir kaun reply de raha hai mujhe?"

"Mere tan! Kyun ki man aur dil dono wahan aapke paas jo hai"

Sanyukta loved his reply.. "Hmmmm not bad haan.. My MCP is becoming a bit romantic.. "she thought

"Ache se khyal rakhungi aapke dil aur man ka..Aap fikar mat kijiye.. "

"Woh toh pata hai.. Waise kar kya rahe ho aap? Aur kal ka kya plan? Kahi bahar chale?"

"Kal ka kya plann??? Budhu, kal punishment hai bhul gaye kya?"

"Punishment chaddo ji.. Tussi kuch aur kaho.. Tumhare liye mujhse pyaar karne se zyada toh koi aur punishment ho hi nai sakta.. Isliye dont worry.. Jo b hoga dekha jayega.. Mein hu na tumhare saath"

Sanyukta loved the way, he was trying to pacify her. He made her realize she wasnt alone and will never be alone.

Sanyukta and Randhir were long lost in their convo.. Time flew, 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM .. Finally they both fell asleep unknowingly.. Alarm went off at 5 AM.. Randhir and Sanyukta both woke up with a sudden jerk.. It was as if they had slept only 10 mins back, it indeed was the truth. Still they couldnt afford to waste anymore time.. They had to be in the lab sharp at 6 AM.. Vardhan sir doesnt like Late comers, he infact hates them.

Sanyukta took urgent bath, put on some random clothes and rushed out of her room.. Randhir did the same and went running out of the room. They both reached the Mechanical Lab exactly at 6 AM.  No matter what, Vardhan sir was such a perfectionist. He was already there, standing tall, hands folded, ready to welcome them..

"Guys, welcome! You are a minute late!" he said.. Nobody in the world could please Prof. Vardhan. Its a tough task, almost a mission impossible. He could easily make out from the look of it, that they hadnt slept last night. He hates it when someone disobeys him. He is a mentor who can go all the way to help his students, but not always. Today was one such day.. Prof. Vardhan stared them both as if he could swallow them any moment.

Randhir went forward to apologize "Sorry Sirr.." Vardhan stopped him by raising his hand..

"Randhir I dont need your sorry.. I am awaiting someone.. Let them come first.  Once they come, We ll go ahead with the punishment" he said in a firm tone..

Sanyukta and Randhir exchanged a confused look.. In another 15 mins, one by one whole Dream Team made its way into the Lab. Randhir was more perplexed to see them all, "Yeh Kya hai Randhir, Vardhan sir aisa kya punishment dene wale hai hume, woh b poore team ke saamne?"

Randhir had no idea about the punishment.. All he knew was something bad was about to happen for sure.. He could sense something fishy.

When Prof. Vardhan started to speak, Sanyukta's face turned pale.. That was the worst punishment someone could ever give to her.. WORST PUNISHMENT !

Always Be Mine - Part 35

ALWAYS BE MINE!

By: Aishwarya Ravi

Part 35:

All the Dream Team members made their way towards their rooms.. Vidushi who was walking just behind Parth, pulled his hand and stopped him. "Parth tumhe jo b kehna hai na, akele me kaho.. Aisa Sanyukta ke saamne insult mat karna please" Vidushi pleaded. "Itne der se hum baarish me bhig rahe the, tumhe usse problem nai.. Par meine tumhari makeup ke baare me, do baat kya keh diya tumhe insult feel ho rahi hai.. Unbelievable! Hadh hai Vidushi" Parth responded back.

"Parth itni b makeup nai lagayi meine.. sirf 3 coating bus" she tried to justify her makeup act.. "3 coating??? Vidushi tum ek kaam kyun nai karti.. Itni mehnat mar karo.. Better Asian paints laga lo.. Jaldi b ho jayegi aur permanently b rahega" 

Vidushi gave him a stare.. "Ab asli chehra aa hi gaya na sabke saamne.. hahaha" he winked at her.. he laughed out loud.. Vidushi found him very cute while laughing.. Yes, he was insulting her still his smile made her forget everything else.. It even muted his hurting words.. Parth gave her a naughty glance and walked past her.. Vidushi was still standing there, admiring him..

After a few steps, Parth stopped, turned to face her and said "Vidushi pehle na tumhe dekhte hi sirf chid aata tha, gussa ho jaata tha mein, par ab na pata nai kyun hasi aa rahi hai" he said that and flashed out a smile. That smile almost made her go flat on him. She once again, fell in love with him.

"Its okay Parth.. Tumhari hasi ke wajah mein banu, isse zyada khushi ke baat mere liye aur kuch nai ho sakta. I love you Parth" Vidushi whispered to herself.

Randhir kept caressing her forehead with his lips.. After a while, Randhir pulled himself back a bit to take a close look. She was totally lost and mesmerized to see him so close. "Gosh how the hell on earth he manages to look so damn cute" she wondered.. Randhir pulled her more close, tightened his grip, it even hurt her a bit, but it was nothing when her eyes met his's, so much of love pouring out of his eyes. She felt "This moment I can drown and even die in his love" Randhir leaned forward as if he was getting ready to kiss her for the third time, she had no problem whatsoever. Her heart was secretly wishing it to happen. She let her head down, he slowly placed his hand in her chin and lifted her head up.. She couldnt see his eyes anymore, it did something to her.. Sanyukta deliberately shifted her attention towards his lips, it was much better to stare at  his lips than his eyes coz his eyes were almost murdering her.. He had the killer look. Randhir came more closer, when he reached her nose, he burst out with laughter, leaving behind a confused Sanyukta..

"Farzi tum naak ke bina b badi cute lag rahi ho.. hahahaha.. Phir b doondke dun kya?" he was in full on masti mood.. She was hell angry. Sanyukta couldnt decide which factor made her go mad in anger.. Was it the fact that he was teasing her or the fact that he had disappointed her by not kissing? She knew, it was the second option. She picked up a small stone, and pelted on Randhir.. "Meri Naak doond rahe ho.. Abhi tumhare naak thodti hun" he carefully escaped each and every stone pelt on him, still laughing.. Sanyukta was tired.. She stopped it finally and said "Randhir kabhi toh serious ho jao.. Vardhan sir ne bulaya hai humhe.. We need to go and meet him.. Chalo" she pulled his hand and dragged him.. 

They would have taken only a few steps, Randhir released her grip on his hand, ran few steps ahead, turned and said "Sanyukta waise tum Kis task ke baare me baat kar rahi thi Parth se? Kahi "Kiss" task ke baare me toh nahi" he winked at an already irritated Sanyukta and started running.. He knew his farzi would come hard against him.. "Randhir ruko.. Abhi nai chodungi mein tumhe.. " she searched for stones, she couldnt spot one.. He had anyway long gone, she had no other option but to follow him.

Randhir and Sanyukta reached Vardhan sir's cabin.. They were panting heavily.. None of them had the courage to enter his room. Randhir peeked slightly inside the room, he could see Vardhan sir staring at his laptop. He was in a serious mood. Randhir signaled at Sanyukta "Jhansi ki rani jao na andar.. Jaake handle karo iss situation ko" he whispered.. "Jhansi ki rani toh mein hun hi par mein kyun jaun andar? Itne hi intelligent ho toh tum kyun nai jaate" Sanyukta challenged him back..

They were the cutest couple on earth.. Who else, could dare to stand by the doorstep of Vardhan sir's room and fight like kids, other than this grown up version of Tom & Jerry pair. Randhir and Sanyukta kept fighting "Tum jao nai tum jao tummm nai tummm" Sanyukta finally stomped her foot on his leg ,Randhir screamed in pain "Ahhh" and fell straight opposite to Vardhan sir. Sanyukta smiled at him mutely, he looked very cute standing innocently before Vardhan sir. Randhir, pulled her along with him "Aao na Sanyukta.. Sir wait kar rahe hai.." and they both entered.

Prof. Vardhan's eyes were stationed on them. He asked "Where were you guys?"

Sanyukta stared at Randhir, it was as if she wanted to say "You laughed at me Mr.Shekawat.. Its your turn now.. Please do the honours..!" Randhir understood what she was trying to convey..

"Sir Uncle ka tabhiyat suddenly kharab ho gaya.. Unka koi nahi hai is duniya me isliye hum gaye the unse milne hospital." Randhir let out a lie again, and gave a sarcastic smile to Sanyukta.."Dekha Farzi kaise handle kiya meine situation ko..! Isse kehte hai handle karna.." his mind mocked her..

Vardhan sir gave a stern look at both of them, stood up, removed his specs and asked "Who's uncle?"

Randhir at once pointed at Sanyukta "Iske uncle..", and she pointed towards Randhir "Iska uncle sir..".. Suddenly realizing their mistake, both of them pointed themselves "Nai Nai sir mere".. they were quite in sync. Vardhan sir coughed and said "You guys have two minutes time, get out, decide whose uncle first and then come back.. I ll wait"

Randhir went forward to say something, Sanyukta pulled him back and stepped forward instead. "Sir, Let me tell you the truth. We had gone out for a bike ride. Mausam ki pehli baarish hai na.. Mein desperately bhigna chahti thi Isliye I asked him to take me outside.. I am the one to be blamed here.. Randhir is innocent."

Sanyukta said in a firm tone.

"Yeh farzi kya boli jaa rahi hai.. Kahin pagal toh nahi ho gayi na.. Saare blame khud pe kyun le rahi hai?"  Randhir wondered. He couldnt see her that way, "Meri farzi jhukegi toh sirf mere saamne woh b blush karke, kisi aur ke saamne use jhugne nai doonga mein" Randhir thought.. "Sir uski galti nahi hai.. Meine hi insist kiya isliye woh mere saath aayi thi.. Jo punishment dena hai aap mujhe dijiye" Prof. Vardhan's head kept oscillating between Randhir and Sanyukta.. He was finding it quite interesting to see them argue for each other rather than against each other which is usually their trademark. He knew something was fishy. Finally, Prof. Vardhan broke his silence.

"Okay atleast you guys were honest enough to accept the fact.. Still tum logon ke wajah se poore Dream team ko punishment mila.. So I cant let you guys get away with it. Tum dono ko punishment zaroor milega.. But ab nahi.. Kal subah.. I want you both to meet me at the Lab tomorrow sharp at 6 AM. Do you understand?" Vardhan sir raised his voice. 

Randhir and Sanyukta nodded their heads in unison. "I am going out now. You guys may leave as well" Vardhan sir said and rose from his chair.. When he was about to walk past Randhir, his leg slipped and almost fell down. But no, he landed safely in Randhir's arms. They had a eyelock.. Vardhan sir quickly rose up and said "Good catch Randhir.." adjusted his specs and left the room..

As soon as Vardhan sir went out of sight, Sanyukta burst out laughing.. It was her turn now to mock at Randhir. She doesnt normally get such chances too often. So she wanted to make full use of it now.

"Goooood Catchhhh Randhirr... Not bad haan!!! Is duniya tum hi ek mahan aathma ho jo har kisi ko ghirne se bachane pahunch jaate ho.. Wah wah.. Kya timing tha Randhir!! I thought ki you ll only save girls from falling par nai tum toh sach me hero nikle yaar.. I am so proud of youuuu.. Vardhan sir was quite impressed.. Kahi hamhe VaRan na mil jaaye" He was confused.. she went on " Lol moment tha Randhir.. Quite impressive hahaha"

"Ab yeh VaRan kya hai?" Randhir asked irritatingly..

"Vardhan + Randhir = VaRan.. Ab samjhe?" she winked naughtily and started to run.. He quickly ran to catch her but she had already reached the Girls hostel.. Randhir didnt wanna enter girls hostel at this time in the night.. Sanyukta reached for the stairs, took two steps, turned and said "Love you Mr.Shekawat.. Love you forever!!" and went running up the stairs.

Randhir stood there smiling watching his Sanyukta happy.. Thats all he wanted in his life, her happiness, nothing else. He even forgot that they were awaiting a punishment next morning..

Always Be Mine - Part 34

Part 34:

Sanyukta got down from the bike, and turned to leave just then Randhir pulled her hand.. She almost fell on him.. He held her by her Waise and said "Wifey! Hubby ko chodke kaha jaa rahi ho? Aaj hum tumhe kahi Jaane hi nahi denge. Samjhi.."  Randhir winked at her.. Randhir had just managed to do the thing that was almost next to impossible.. He made Sanyukta blush blush blush... The way, he looked deep into her eyes and said those words made her go weak on her knees.. All she could manage to say was "Randhirrr ..." Her lips betrayed her, she wanted to ask him to let her go but her lips weren't uttering those words.. His closeness made her feel so shy.. Rain had stopped but the slight drizzle was well enough to drench them.. Sanyukta couldn't see his eyes anymore, she put her head down.. Randhir was getting more closer to her, he had no evil intentions.. He was loving the fact that his girl, was blushing, he wanted to tease her a bit more..

Just when Randhir went closer, they heard some footsteps.. Sanyukta immediately pushed him away a bit.. She didn't want anyone else to see them that way.. Randhir and Sanyukta sharpened their ears towards the noise of the footsteps.. It was pitch dark, so it wasn't easy to spot.. They both entered FITE to find Parth, Vidushi, Jiggy, Kaustuki and Sahil standing by the gate..

"Guys tum log yaha kya kar rahe ho? Pagal ho gaye ho kya? Can't you see it's raining? Koi baarish me Aise beegta hai kya? Hadh karte ho yaar.. Bolo na Sanyukta" Randhir signalled at her..

Sanyukta nodded a yes in agreement..

Whole dream team gave a weird look at Sandhir.. Parth came forward.. "Yeh baat tum keh rahe ho Randhir? Khud tum dono aise beegke aaye ho aur hame Bol rahe ho? Where were u guys afterall? Parth queried

"Woh Sanyukta ko fever ho Gaya.. So I took her to a doctor.. Nai mujhe fever ho Gaya isliye Sanyukta mujhe doctor ke paas leke gayi" as soon as he finished he realized how stupid that excuse was.. "Nai actually hum dono bimaar pad Gaye the.. Isliye we went to the doctor"

"Acha Aise saj dajke koi jayega kya doctor ke paas.. Woh b is barish me.. Bimari ka ilaj Karne Gaye the ya Khud bimari ko invite karne" Parth wasn't letting them escape.. He wanted an answer..

Sanyukta whispered in Randhir's ears "Randhir yeh kya reasons bata rahe ho tum.. Pagal ho kya"

"Acha itni intelligent ho toh Khud Kuch Kyun nai batati!! Apni best friend ka Muh band karado kaise b.. Bahut Sawal puch raha hai.. "Randhir whispered back..

Sanyukta gave him a cold stare.. "Parth hum Kisi important task ke liye Bahar Gaye the.. Vardhan sir ne Beja tha Hume.. Zyada question mat puchna.. " She gave a victory smile towards Randhir.. It was as if she had won the battle in which Randhir has accepted his defeat.. Randhir was smiling at her too "kitni intelligent hai yeh Ladki.. Hmmm akhir biwi Kiski hai.."

"Acha Vardhan sir ne beja!! Toh fir unhone Hume punishment kyun diya?" Vidushi came forward..

"Kya? Vardhan sir ne punishment diya? " Sanyukta's eyes widened..

"Haan kal ke task ke liye he was trying to reach his dream team.. But u guys weren't there.. Is liye unhone hume yaha wait karne ke liye kaha jab tak Tum dono wapas na aa jaye.. To hell with you both.. Hum sab pichle 2 ghante se yaha khade hai baarish me" Vidushi let out her pout..

"Haan aur Mujhe Itne raat Gaye is chudail ke saat Rehna pada.. Iski puri makeup nikal gayi 5 min me.. Uske baad pata hai mera kya haal ho Gaya.." Parth pulled her leg

Sanyukta and Randhir stood there without speaking a word.. Parth understood the situation.. "Hmmm Acha okay.. Vardhan sir asked u guys to meet him as soon as guys come.. Just go meet him once" Parth said and signaled others to leave..

The moment they went out of sight, Randhir burst out laughing.. He was literally searching for something in the ground.. "Kya doond rahe ho Randhir?" Sanyukta asked him irritatingly.. Randhir controlled his laughter.. " woh tumhari naak... Yahi Kahi hogi rukho.. Doond raha Hun" he said and burst out laughing again... Sanyukta started hitting him.. "Shakal dekh apni bina naak wala.. My god kya reason diya tumne.. Vardhan sir... Hahahaha.. I was much better..." He held her hand and pulled her close " Love you my Farzi.. Love you always" he pecked her forehead lovingly..

Vardhan sir was watching everything that was happening at the entrance of FITE through his CCTV.. He let out a smile "Interesting very interesting"

Always Be Mine - Part 33

Part 33:

Neither Sanyukta nor Randhir had any intention of breaking their hug.. It was their first official hug after marriage.. Randhir hadn’t hugged anyone so deep so far.. His mom never let him near her, his dad used to hug, but he always felt it was a fake one.. Sanyukta’s hug today reminded him of a fact that he had someone, someone to hold onto.. Randhir found the meaning of his life, his new found love was killing him out of happiness.. Randhir was so damn happy.. He broke the hug, went back, spread his hands on the rain and shouted “I LOVE YOU SANYUKTA, I LOVE YOUUUUUU!”

Sanyukta was taken aback in surprise, she hadn’t seen Randhir do any of this before.. Once he even hated rain.. But now, he was totally new.. Randhir Singh Shekawat had reborn..Love creates magic, she had heard but now she was witnessing it in front of her eyes.. Randhir was all lost, he wanted to announce the whole world that he was in love.. “Suno sab ke sab, I love Sanyukta and Sanyukta loves me tooooooo.!!”  There weren’t much people on the road, but the ones who passed by, gave him a weird look.. He neither cared about them nor noticed them.. “Aise kya ghur rahe ho sab? Pyaar hua hai bhai, koi khoon nahi kia meine.. Par koi nahi.. Khushi ke mare khoon b kar sakta hun mein aaj.. Sanyukta us Sameer ko bulao na please..”

Sanyukta felt it was high time to control her ‘Majnu’ .. He was going out of control... Sanyukta went near Randhir, dragged him towards the bike “ Arey Sanyukta chodo na.. Mein masti karne ka mood mein hun.. Aaj mujhe khoon karna hai us Sameer ka.. Bada aaya Shaadi karne wala meri Sanyukta se.. Bewakoof ..” Randhir kept talking.. Sanyukta turned, placed her finger on his lips in order to shut him up atleast for a second.. But as she placed it on his finger, he kissed it.. Kept kissing her finger.. Sanyukta almost went red blushing..

Randhir noticed her blushing.. He bent down a little, and made a cute attempt to look into her eyes and said “Oho tumhe blushing karna b aati hai kya? Thank God, meri shaadi ek ladki se hi hue hai” he teased.. She kept looking down smiling..

Randhir pulled her cheeks gently and said “Arey meri Jhansi ki rani, aaj hi itna sharmaogi toh aage kya karogi, thoda bachake rakhna future me kaam ayega” he kept teasing her.. Sanyukta smiled and hugged him once again.. The hug lasted only a few seconds, she broke the hug and said “ Randhir ab hum chale..? Bahut der ho gayi hai.. Hostel b toh pahunchna hai na”

Randhir kick started his bike.. Sanyukta sat beside him.. This bike ride was going to be different they knew.. Sanyukta did not hesitate to hug him tight this time, silence prevailed but love took over this time.. There wasn’t enough space for even air to pass through.. “ Na tere bin lagda jee.. Tu dil tu yun jaan meri.. mein tennu samjhawan ki” Bike ride was heavenly.. Randhir was living every moment of it.. He still couldn’t believe that sanyukta had approved of their relationship.. The way he rode the bike, it neither disturbed the road, nor disturbed his angel.. He wasn’t an MCP anymore, he would be a MCH from now on.. MOST CARING HUSBAND, he decided..

By the time, they reached FITE, there was something eagerly awaiting them.. But wasn’t a good one..

Always Be Mine - Part 32

Part 32:

Randhir stood there still in rain, wondering.. "Sanyukta Sach me interested nahi hai kya mujhme? Did I just make d most weirdest proposal in the world? Randhir pata nahi tu yeh Sab kab sikhega! Tum b grooming classes join karlo Jaldi" He thought out loud...

"Kuch b sikhe ki Zaroorat nahi hai Randhir.. Tum jaise ho Waise hi mujhe Bahut pasand ho" Randhir turned after hearing her voice Sanyukta it was.. Randhir was surprised to see her.. Just a few minutes back he saw her weeping but now she seemed perfectly okay.. Infact she was smiling at him, she had hidden her hands behind.. She slowly went down on her knees, brought something forward.. It was a ring box.. Before Randhir's brain could process what was going on, she held his hand and inserted the ring in his finger.. It was a perfect fit..

Randhir kept staring at his ring finger and Sanyukta simultaneously in disbelief.. She held his hand with both her hands, and spoke "Randhir I know Tum Mujhse Bahut pyar karte ho.. I realized it much earlier.. Par har Kisi ke tarah Mein b tumhari muh se apne liye pyar bari baate Sunna chahti thi.. Kabse yeh theen words sunne ke liye taras rahi thi pata hai? Mujhe lagta tha Engineering ke bina Mein adhoore Hun par nahi.. Sach woh nahi hai.. Shayad engineering ke bina b Mein zinda rahungi par tumhare bina nahi reh paungi Mein. U complete me.. I am incomplete without you.. Will u please be mine forever?"

When she finished, Randhir broke in tears.. Tears were rolling down his cheeks, for the first time in his life he was crying out of happiness.. I can even die happily at this very moment.. He was dying for love all his life.. His mom couldn't give him few minutes in her life, how would she give him love? His father never worried about anything in this damn world except alcohol.. Unhe jab sharab se pyar utega tabhi toh bete se pyar kar payega woh.. Everyone had priorities, Randhir was nobody's priority.. He wasn't even there as a last item in their priory list.. Randhir was never a MCP, he had to fake it, just to make people stop sympathizing on him.. Randhir hated sympathy.. All he wanted was LOVE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.. After all, he deserved it..

There he was, on the verge of getting the love of his life.. Sanyukta knew what Randhir would have been going through.. She knew there was a storm going inside his heart.. She was the one who could change the storm into a breeze.. Sanyukta stood up, pulled another ring from the box.. She gently took his hand once again, placed the ring in his hand and said "Mr Shekawat, Ab yeh ring toh pehna do.. Yeh b Mujhe hi Batana padega kya buddhu" she slightly hit his head wih her fingers, very gently.. Randhir was still staring at the ring, she had made him wear.. Sanyukta shook his shoulder a bit.. Still he was in trance.. Finally Sanyukta lost her patience and pinched his cheek hard.. "Ahhhhh" Randhir cried and finally came out of the trance..

Sanyukta held her ears and made a sweet sorry sign.. She pointed him to look at the ring she had placed.. It was the same ring, Randhir had brought for her.. She had it with her, she knew someday Randhir will propose and she ll make him wear the same ring.. When Randhir looked up, she winked.. It didn't take much time for Rank no.1 to realize that it was her prank..

Randhir went down on his knees.. Held her hand.. Inserted the ring in her finger slowly, caressed her hand and kissed his bride.. They were complete now.. Mr and Mrs Shekawat! Once he kissed, Sanyukta pulled him up and hugged him like a cute little kid.. She knew, she was in her guy's arms, who could protect her from any evil in this world.. Randhir was a treasure to her, she promised to herself that she would guard it more than her life..
