Always Be Mine - Part 75

ALWAYS BE MINE!

By: Aishwarya Ravi

First of all I would like to thank all the readers of mine, for letting my ABM travel till 75th part and still counting.. Love you all so much for being such a sweethearts 😘 This Platinum Jubilee part is dedicated to all of you ❤️

Part 75:

Prof. Vardhan barged into the exam hall, leaving all the students stunned and so was Randhir.. "Randhir.. Hand over your paper to me..!" Randhir did as instructed.. Prof. Vardhan almost grabbed it from him.. Opened it and scanned each and every paper carefully.. His eyeball stopped moving when his eyes stopped gazing at one particular point.. For a moment, Great Engineering Professor. Vardhan himself was left numb.. It looked as if he was in a shock.. He soon managed to come out of the trance.. He looked up and smiled at Randhir.. Proceeded towards the centre of the hall..

"Guys I am sure you all must have completed answering all the questions you knew.. So pens down please..! It's almost time.. If you haven't completed answering till now, then you wouldn't finish it anyway.. I need your attention for 5 minutes..!" Sanyukta looked up.. She had managed to finish the paper too, 10 mark question somehow she solved it and the 5 Mark one she tried attempting..

Just then Vardhan sir had entered.. "Guys Forget about the 10 mark question and the 5 mark question that's giving you hard time.. It isn't from your syllabus.. Infact, it isn't a question from 3rd year Mechanical.. That's the toughest question from 4th year Mechanical.. Those two chapters will always give nightmares to the final year students, so no wonder, if it drives you crazy.. Don't worry.. Marks will be rewarded if you had even attempted to answer the question.. Those who haven't tried, please forget it.. I want Engineers who try first and then lose not the ones who accept the defeat right at the beginning without even attempting.. So the moment you decided to skip the question, you failed.."

Randhir remember something all of a sudden.. In the two days, he had completed almost all the books assigned for 3rd year Mechanical.. So he had decided to go through all the books yet again.. Just then he had come across a book, that seemed pretty interesting.. Anything about machines attracted him so much(his love for machines had doubled after seeing Sanyukta's love for them).. He pulled it open and started to read, without even realizing the fact that the book he was reading belonged to 4th year Mechanical.. That's how, he had managed to crack the 10 mark question that bothered Sanyukta.. What's the big deal? He had anyway read it but not Sanyukta.. What surprised him more was the fact that he was able to solve even the 5 mark question, that he had never even read for once.. Now that's called the spirit, the passion and dedication..

All the students were left dumbstruck.. Many of them hadn't even bothered to attend the question as it looked alien for them.. Their attitude towards it was "I can't solve it anyway.. Why to waste my time attempting it?"

Vardhan sir continued "Guys, it's a lesson for you all.. Nothing to be ashamed of.. Also, I would like you all to meet the Best Engineer of the lot, hmmm, No, Best Engineer I have ever seen.. He is right here, in front of you all, Randhir Singh Shekhawat.. Yes, the questions that gave nightmares even to the toppers of the 4th year, had been solved by Randhir like a beautiful dream.. I am extremely proud to say that I am HIS mentor.. That's my student.. I am truly overwhelmed by the way he had responded to my test.. Randhir.. You truly deserve to be the Rank No. 1.. You are way too awesome.. Finally, I found someone who is in love with his Engineering too along with his Girlfriend.. You both amaze me at times.. Keep the passion growing.. God bless you both..!" He looked at Sanyukta and smiled.. Handed over the paper to PKC, gave a proud pat on Randhir's back and rushed out of the class..

Randhir had almost been pushed to the verge of tears..Sanyukta handed over her paper to PKC and went near Randhir, who was still in trance.. She offered him her hand, he gladly accepted it.. She smiled "Randhir.. You've made me feel proud about myself today.. I truly feel honoured to be associated with your name as your competitor.. I have no words left to describe you.. I haven't accepted this fact before, but then if I don't do it now, then I ll never be able to do it.. You are the BEST Engineer.. I bow down before you.. It's not like a girl bowing down before a guy.. You know me.. I don't bow down before any guy.. But it's an honour for me today to bring my hands together to clap and bow my head before you as a mark of respect.. Hats off and hands down.. I take a bow, before the best engineer my country would ever produce.. Love you Randhir..!"

That was all needed for Randhir to break down.. He pulled her up and hugged her tight.. He had absolutely no words to utter whatsoever.. His hug was saying it all.. She hugged him back.. All the students including PKC left the hall, with a smile.. They knew this moment, belonged to Sandhir and their Engineering..

Precap: Sandhir holiday planning..

TO BE CONTINUED.. Hope you guys liked this Platinum Jubilee part of ABM.. Readers do leave your comments.. Love you All 😘 #Ash

Always Be Mine - Part 74

Part 74:

Randhir was shuffling his paper... Never once in his life, had he faced this situation before.. When it comes to studies, he had always been the master.. No matter how hard the subject is, for Randhir it's just a piece of cake.. This moment, he clearly understood what Vardhan sir meant when he mentored them last time around..

Sanyukta saw Randhir through the corner of his eyes.. "Randhir seems tensed.. That indeed means, even he doesn't know how to solve this 5 mark question.. But what about this 10 mark question? Even this seems alien to me.. Would Randhir be able to solve this question? Kaise pata karun?" She got restless..

Randhir closed his eyes, whenever he gets tensed, he used to close his eyes tight and meditate.. That would solve almost all his problems.. It had such healing powers.. This time around too he did that.. "Randhir concentrate.. Remember you ain't some above average student.. You are Randhir singh Shekawat.. Keep that in mind.. Come on.. Start answering the questions.. Once you start writing, answers ll keep flowing..!" He motivated himself.. Opened his eyes, let out a heavy breath and started to pen down whatever was asked..

Randhir felt "If I don't deserve to be Rank No.1, then so be it..  It's mine and I ll make sure it stays that way. If she deserves, let her grab it from me.. I ain't going to gift it to her.. If she wants to take it away from me, then let her do the hard work.. I ll give her a tough fight.. Only then, she ll work hard for it.. That way, I ll push her to go for it.. She ll get motivated.."

Sanyukta was getting restless "Oh God..! I don't remember reading such stuff.. I missed few lectures probably that's affecting me.. It's not about Rank no.1 it's about Randhir.. It's about letting him know that I deserve to be his competitor.. Aise under perform karungi Toh use Kya motivation milega? To compete with a Genius like Randhir, I need to be at his level.. I should never let him feel that he is competing with someone weaker than him.."

Randhir and Sanyukta were now totally into their Engineering..They had forgotten the outer world. Its only them and their Engineering now.

My POV:

Now that's called True Love.. If you are really in love with someone, you ll be the reason for their growth not for their downfall.. Nobody is perfect, everyone in this world has flaws.. Love is just accepting someone the way they are..Its unconditional and truly motivational.. Rain or shine, make sure to be by your love's side when they need you the most..

Vidushi was still smiling at Parth.. PKC who was noticing her from his desk, shouted "Vidushiii.. Parth.. Tum dono ko exam dene ka irada hai b ya nai?" Parth shook her hands, "Vidu.. PKC sir keh rahe hai na.. Kisi aur ke liye na hi sahi sirf unke liye answers de de.. Look at his face, isnt he looking so pathetic? We shouldnt be the reason for his BP to rise.. Chalo, answers do baby.. Jaldi.. sirf 2 hours hai..!"  He turned to smile at PKC, who was giving a weird unexplainable expression.. "Sahi keh raha hu na sir?" PKC gave a sarcastic smile "Haan Parth.. You are absolutely right.. Bahut khushi hui yeh sunke ki Vidushi is gonna give her exams for my sake..! Aankhon se aansu nikal Gaye, yeh Dekho..!"

"Uff.. Yaha Aaj kal Engineers kam Romeos Zyada dikh rahe hai..!" He blurted to himself..

Parth and Vidushi smiled at each other and proceeded to fill their answer sheets with "what they felt would be the answers"

Randhir had almost solved all the questions, he still wasn't sure of the 5 mark question that was haunting him.. He was pretty sure to have read the chapters before and after this one.. Just this one, slipped out of his mind.. "I am an Engineer.. I shouldn't get disheartened just because I didn't read one chapter.. I know the basics and have surely got them right.. If my basics are right, then I can solve any problem, let alone this one.. Method of application and approach might be the different but at the end of it all, it's a simple problem.. Randhir Chalo give it a try.." He motivated himself again.. His eyes scanned the question one more time.. He thought a little, did some rough work in the space provided and stared at the wall.. He could see the answers unfolding, step by step.. "Yes this is got to be the first step.. Let me start.. If I get the first step right, obviously I am gonna end up solving this question.. Even if I don't, what's the harm in trying? I should give it a try, nah, my best try.."

Randhir started to solve the question.. He had hesitated only before his pen touched the paper.. Once it did, there was no stopping him.. Answers were flowing like a smooth river.. He was pretty much confident that he was giving his best shot... Sanyukta somehow managed to finish the paper except the 5 mark and 10 mark ones.. She was wondering what could be the reason for her not being able to solve it.. Randhir finished filling up the answer sheet and demanded for an extra sheet.. While he was waiting for PKC to attend to him, he glanced at Sanyukta.. She seemed tensed.. He knew she might be having problems solving the 5 mark question.. He leaned over and whispered "Sanyukta.. Take a deep breath.. Give a loud stare to the question that's creating trouble, watch it closely, remember your basics and you ll get it right..! After all we are Engineers, we should be the ones that create troubles don't let a petty question trouble you..!" He received his answer sheet and focused on filling it again..

Sanyukta got motivated by that cute tip of his.. She did exactly the same way he said.. Even she could see it working.. She happily started to scribble.. Randhir finished his paper before the allotted time.. Just when he was about to hand over the paper to PKC, Vardhan sir entered the exam hall.. "Randhir.. Give it to me..!" He ordered..

Randhir was surprised by the sudden appearance of Prof. Vardhan..

Always Be Mine - Part 73

Part 73:

Sanyukta shook hands with Randhir.. This time, the grip meant something else, it wasnt  a lovely caress, the feeling she would always get whenever her hand touches his.. It was something different. He stood there, shaking hands with her like her true opponent.. His eyes shone with sheer brilliance. It conveyed the message beautifully "Sanyukta Agarwal.. You ll be beaten yet again.. Rank No.1 was, is and ll always be Randhir Singh Shekawat..!" Somehow, she loved the sight of him, challenging her.. True that she hated the Mr. Attitude Randhir, somehow she even missed this attitude of his. He had become a chocolate boy, totally immersed in his love for her.. But then, this version of Randhir, was the very reason why she had reached this position. He drove her mad, challenged her ego, even hurt her, but always stood there for her, protecting her "My Randhir is back..!" she smiled..

"Sanyukta... Would you mind releasing my hand? Coz I believe you should be diving into your mechanical books by now. Its okay if I dont study coz I just need to scan the books once `but you desperately need to.. Dont let Rank No.2 slip away from your hands.. All the best..!" he winked.. She truly loved this attitude of his..

"Sure Randhir... I will.. Just a piece of advice.. Too much of dreams, arent good for health.. So stop dreaming.. See you in the battlefield..!"

"I am ON..!" Randhir said at once. She turned to leave and so did he..

Next two days, they believed would be the toughest two days of their lives, coz they had turned off their mobiles and made sure not to step out of their rooms. But it turned out to be absolutely normal.. Neither Randhir missed Sanyukta, nor she missed Randhir.. Every time, they would remember of the other, it would force them to concentrate more..  Why would they even miss each other.. After all, they were indulged in Engineering, their first common love.. Machines were the reason behind them coming close.. Now, its payback time. They decided to thank their Engineering. To Randhir, Engineering gave him his reason to survive.. For Sanyukta, Engineering had gifted her the most beautiful 'Machine' of her life.. That can neither be purchased nor be made in any lab in the world, "Her Randhir"

2 days later:

Exam hall:

Sanyukta rushed into the hall as quickly as possible, as usual, she hadnt given enough time to set her hair.. Randhir still loved her messed up look, his eyes were programmed to expect her that way.. So it wasnt a surprise for him.. She stopped by his table, Randhir stood up and paved way for her.  She made her way inside, while passing by, she threw a quick glance at Randhir "Exam time me b pata nai how does he manage to look so handsome?" she so wished she could get an answer, some day.. He was breathtakingly handsome..

"Long time No see Sanyukta? How's you? Managed to mug up all the lines till last page huh?" he teased her..

She threw a sarcastic smile at him.. "Very funny.. Lets wait and watch the outcome Mr. Attitude.."

"Of course.. I would love to see, who gets Rank No.2 this time around..Is it you or someone else? You better shut up and concentrate otherwise you might forget  the last chapter.. Its right here you see..!" he pointed towards her neck.. "So better dont talk, till you blurt that out in the answer sheet!" he gave a sarcastic smile.

"Look Randhir..! I dont mug things and you know that..!" and thus started their tom n jerry convo.. Whole class was silent but it made no difference to the 'special souls' on earth.. PKC was hell annoyed.. He shouted at them "Kaun kiska paper kha liya ab?"

Sanyukta pointed at Randhir while he pointed at her.."Sir isne.." PKC was pissed to see this silly fight.. "Dekho na hi koi kisika paper khayega, na hi koi mera dimaag khayega.. Samjhe?"

He handed them the papers.. Parth and Vidushi were lost in each others eyes.. PKC handed the paper to Parth, who was physically present but mentally absent.. "Parth.. Paper lo..!"

"Nai.. Mujhe nai chahiye..!" he answered without even looking at PKC..

PKC: Nai chahiye Matlab?

Parth: Matlab I dont want the paper.. (he had translated his previous sentence in hindi to English)

PKC: Parth.. You are testing my patience.. Take this, right now..

This time Vidushi interferred.. "Kaha na.. Nai chahiye.. We are not interested.. Le jao.. We ll call you when we are free" she wasnt in her senses.. Even in dreams, she managed to yell.

PKC shook them by their shoulders.. "Parth... Vidushiiiii..!"

Parth got tensed .. "PKC sir... Aap kab aaye..?" he turned towards Vidushi.. "Vidu.. Sir kab aaye? Meine nai dekha.. Did you notice?" she nodded in a big No "No Parth.. Meine b notice nai kiya..  Sir, why are you breathing so heavily? December ke thand me b aapko pasina aa raha hai.. You gotta consult a doctor.. It might turn out be very dangerous for your health.. Hai na Parth?"

Whole class burst out laughing.. PKC was left numb.. He knew, he wasnt going to win over an argument with the lovestruck Romeos.. "Tum jaise students ho toh mere health ke baare me fikar karne ki kya zaroorat.. Sit down please.. Would you mind taking this paper atleast now?"

"Sure sir.. Aapke liye kuch b kar sakte hai hum.. Jaan b denge toh yeh jawab kya cheez hai.. Do aap!" he pulled two answer sheets and handed one to Vidushi..

Poor PKC left the place.. He soon retired in his chair and closed his eyes..

Exam started.. Randhir and Sanyukta were scanning the question paper, while others had already started to write.

Randhir's POV:

I think I know the answers for all these questions.. This time as well, I am going to end up topping the chart. Uff.. Poor Sanyukta..(his eyes fell on a particular 5 mark question that had no choice.. It was compulsory to attend) Oh Fish.. I just skipped this chapter and here it is, to haunt me.. God, what will I do now? (he rubbed his chin)  5 markssssss.. How will I let a 5 mark question beat me? Cant this be my dream? (he pinched Jiggy who was sitting to his left) he screamed "Ouch".. That was more than enough for him to understand that its not his dream.. "Sapna nai hai Randhir.. Sach hai yeh toh.. Aaj toh tu gaya.." What will I do now? What if she had mugged up that answer as well? I cant let this 5 mark question taunt me.. I must know, if she knows it as well.. Kaise pata karun? He was getting restless..

Sanyukta was noticing all his antics.. She leaned by his side and whispered "Rank No.1 All okay?" He was clearly annoyed "Apna kaam se kaam rakh samjhi? I know paper thoda difficult hai.. Still give it a try, especially 4 marks, 6 marks questions..!" he blurted..

Sanyu: 4 marks 6 marks? Randhir, there are only 5 mark questions and they dont seem tough at all..

Randhir: Really???

Sanyu: Haan.. Kyun? Tumhe tough lag raha hai kya?

Randhir: Tough? Mujhe? Oh hello.. You are talking to THE RANDHIR.. I dont have the word tough in my dictionary.. Just focus on yours and let me focus on mine.. Aur haan, dont dare to peep in my paper.. I know I love you par iska matlab yeh nai ki I ll let you copy from me. Samjhi?

Sanyu: You and your attitude.. Unbelievable.. Jo karna hai karo.. Mujhe kya?

Sanyukta turned back, leaving behind a restless and puzzled Randhir.. "Randhir kuch toh karna hi padega tumhe.. Warna..!" He whispered to himself..

Will Randhir be able to retain his No.1 ranking? Or will Sanyukta go past him?

Always Be Mine - Part 72

Part 72:

Sandhir reached the Green board almost at the same time.. Randhir pulled a chalk, Sanyukta grabbed it from him.. Without wasting any time staring at her, he pulled one more.. Next moment, their fingers were dancing in unison on the board.. Left part of the board occupied by Rank No. 1 wherein the right part was being dominated by Rank No. 2..

Prof. Vardhan was watching them from a corner.. He had a permanent smile on his face, a smile that conveyed many a things, without a word being uttered. Randhir and Sanyukta were hell bent in solving the question. In almost a minute, they both covered up all the writing area of the board. Finally, their hands arrived at the conclusion part.. Randhir finished it as,

Hence, x= a/2 he had a proud look on his face.. He smirked.. "Farzi, kya haal hai?" He turned to look at Sanyukta's corner.. She had the same smirk on her face.. They were happy because they had almost solved it at the same time.. Their proud expression said it all.. "Ek dum badiya..! Tumhara kya haal hai?" She replied proudly.. Their expression changed, when they casted their eyes on each other's answer.. Sanyukta had finished it as, x=a/6... Randhir exclaimed "What the hell Sanyukta..! How could you solve it wrong? Answer is a/2...!" When Sanyukta opposed "Nai.. Answer is a/6.. Accept your defeat Randhir..!"

Sandhir were back in their fighting mode "No way I can go wrong.. Don't you dare call me loser..! It's you, who solved it wrong..!"

"Randhir I can never go wrong.. It's you.. Do you understand?" Sanyukta fumed...

Their argument was interrupted by a similar voice, the same voice that had motivated them whenever they needed one.. Yes it was Vardhan sir.. "Guys, neither of you are wrong.. Now, that's called a Reality check..!" He smiled at them, approached them with a slight smile on his face..

Sandhir were confused.. "Sir.. We don't quite get it..!" Randhir was the first one to express his confusion.. Prof. Vardhan cleared his throat.. "Mein hun na.. ll explain Randhir..!" He looked at Sanyukta..

"When you guys marched towards the board, you both were two love birds madly in love each other.. More than solving the question, you were concerned about each other.. You guys wanted to solve the question but not at the cost of others loss.. When you solved the question, your hands weren't in your control, your mind was wandering all over.. Your heart was controlling your minds.. Isi liye you both arrived at wrong answer.." Prof. Vardhan was explaining.. It was as if they were able to understand everything but nothing.. They were pretty sure that he was upto something.. The topic hadn't come to an end.. Infact, things were starting to get cleared.. Professor continued "I am sure you people still aren't clear.. Let me make it very simple..! So listen..!" He turned towards Sanyukta, who had already lost herself in the magicians speech..

"Sanyukta.. Look at Randhir.. Forget that he is your love.. He is that opponent of yours, who made your life hell when you entered FITE.. He was hell bent in destroying you and your dreams.. He is that one person, you always wanted to beat.. Randhir Singh Shekawat, MCP in your terms..!" As and when he described, Sanyukta could imagine Randhir turn into a MCP right in front of her eyes.. She remembered every single fight, every silly argument.. It was nostalgic.. Prof. Vardhan turned towards Randhir..

"Randhir.. Look at Sanyukta.. Forget the fact that you are madly in love with her.. She is your competitor.. She is that one girl who challenged your ego.. She is the one, who made you feel frightened.. She made you feel insecure.. At one point, she was even about to surpass you.. Remember?" Randhir remembered every single thing, the day he had seen Sanyukta solve Vardhan Sirs question.. He was quite impressed.. But then, his ego stopped him from accepting the fact.. He kept chasing her, she kept challenging him.. Those were the days, they had learnt different ways to hate each other but never once did they hurt each other.. They motivated each other, didn't go hand in hand but then always made sure to help each other knowingly or unknowingly.. Prof. Vardhan neared the board, erased the wrong answers given by Sandhir.. The question still remained unchanged.. "Now, take a look at the question.. Go for it..!"

Sanyukta and Randhir exchanged a glance, slowly turned to take a better look at the question.. It didn't take long for the geniuses to understand that the question was wrong.. Randhir corrected the question, and so did Sanyukta.. This time, for Sanyukta, Randhir was her biggest opponent.. For Randhir, Sanyukta was his biggest competitor.. They triggered each other's ego and ended up motivating each other.. Within a minute, Randhir and Sanyukta arrived at the answer that was x=a/3...

Prof. Vardhan had the timer on.. He very well knew it wasn't needed.. As expected, Sandhir finished it at almost the same time, with only few seconds difference.. (I ll leave it to your imagination, who finished few seconds ahead 😜)

This time, all the three had a smile on their faces.. Prof. Vardhan announced "Now that's called as "Comeback".. I am sure you must have understood what I was trying to prove.. I know you guys hate to listen to a long lecture.. Actually, I myself hate to give one.. So, I am winding up with one last thing.. Guys, let love be the reason for your success not for your failure.. Love each other so much, go mad but after 6, when you get back to your rooms.. While in class, be my Engineers, who are passionate to prove something to the world.. PASSION and DEDICATION, give equal importance to these two words in your life.. I want you guys to be my best Students.. The best engineers, this country could ever produce..! Fight with each other, motivate each other, get inspired but with love.. Got it?" He looked at Sandhir, who were once again lost in his words.. He coughed "Back to your senses guys..!" That brought them out of the trance.. "Yes sir..!" They answered in unison..

"Good.. Very good..!" He patted Randhir's back and left the place with his trademark smile.. Sandhir now looked at each other, this time, their eyes were glowing in passion rather than the love they had for each other.. Randhir offered his hand "All the best for your exams Sanyukta..! Top karunga toh Mein hi..!" His attitude shone in his eyes.. "In your dreams Randhir..! By the way all the best to you too..!" She winked..

Precap: Exam hall.. Funny stuff coming up... 😛

Always Be Mine - Part 71

Part 71:

Sun rays hit straight on his face, he was forced to open his eyes.. Randhir woke up with a slight “hmmm”, he tried stretching his hands but they weren’t moving.. Only then he realized, his hand was being a pillow for his angel, his sleeping beauty.. Her eye balls were continuously moving, she hadn’t opened her eyes, yet he knew  the rays were disturbing her.. He stretched his other hand, and blocked the rays.. The moment, his hand served as an umbrella, her face went calm.. He was busily admiring her.. This sudden change in the atmosphere, forced her to open her eyes.. The sight she saw, stopped her breath.. How caring he is, “Everytime I see this guy, I fall in love with him all over again..!”  She slowly lowered his hand and smiled at him.. He neared her and she screamed “Oh God..!” It was a wake up alarm for the other pairs who were deeply lost in their sleep.. They sprung up at the same time.

“Kya hua..!” Randhir got tensed..

“Randhir.. Do din me exams hai.. Time table lag gaya hoga na notice board pe.. First exam kya hoga re?” she asked so seriously.. Randhir laughed out loud.. “Jungle me b tumhe exams ki padi hai..? U r a single piece on this earth..!” he teased.. By then, Vidarth and others reached the spot.. “Randhir.. Mazak baad me.. I think we should leave now..!” Parth ordered..

“Haan Parth baba ka nyota hai.. Taal nai sakte... Chalo chalte hai..!” Randhir offered her hand in order to get up… She did, and they left the place immediately.. After a few minutes of walk, they reached the main road, where they had parked their bikes.. Randhir kick started his bike and Sanyukta sat behind him.. Parth looked back at the forest and smiled, Vidushi pulled his hand “Parth chalo na.. We are getting late..!”

“Vidushi.. This is the place that gave me my love.. Let me thank it…!” Parth got emotional.. “Thank youuuu..!” he screamed.. Vidushi pulled him hard  “Bas Bas itna b majnu banne ki zaroorat nai hai.. Agar itna hi pyar hai toh mein tumhe hamare honeymoon ke liye yaha laungi.. Ab chalo..!” Parth started his bike as well.. They were on  their way to FITE..

Prof. Vardhan was concerned about not finding his Dream Team members in the college.. Only Jiggy was dozing in his room, others were missing.. He had scanned nook and corner of FITE.. More than being angry, he was being concerned for them, for his students cum kids.. “I hope they are okay..!” Just then, his eyes fell on the entrance, he saw three bikes entering the campus.. Sandhir, Vidarth and Youstuki.. His lips carved in a slight smile.. “Nightout huh..! Not bad..!” he smirked..

Vidarth and others straight away rushed to their respective rooms, wherein Randhir and Sanyukta rushed towards the notice board..
Sanyukta had guessed it right.. Time table was fixed in the notice board.. She read it loud “First paper is Automobile Engineering..! Thank God mein bach gayi.. That’s my favorite.. Uske baad leave hai toh I ll cover the rest of them too.. “ she breathed relief.. Turned towards Randhir, who was smiling at her “Has kyun rahe ho? Prepared kya??”

“Preparation mediocres ko karna padta hai. Mujh jaise Genius ko nai..!” He said that with his own attitude..

“Hello.. Mr. Randhir Shekawat.. Tumne prepare kiya ki nai kiya.. Sidhe sidhe bolo..!” she behaved like a typical girlfriend..

“Naiii.. I told you na, Mujhe preparation ki zaroorat nai..!”

“Randhir.. say yes or no?”

“No…! Hum toh hamesha prepared rehte hai..!”

“Itne din se kar kya rahe the?” She was serious.. Her eyes were burning red in anger..

He answered coolly.. “Pyar kar raha tha.. Tumse..!” Next moment, her cheeks turned red.. “This guy knows the trick of making me blush anytime..!” She smiled..

“By the way, Mrs. Sanyukta Shekawat..! Don’t worry.. I ll be topping the chart this time as well.. So chill..!" this time, he sounded more like the old Attitude Randhir..

"Yep, you will top..!" Randhir gave her a attitude bari look "Finally maan gayi tum..!"

Sanyukta continued .. "Yes, you will top.... in your dreams..!" She was being sarcastic..

"Really?? You think so? Sanyukta Agarwal(he was sounding like the old Randhir, hence he called her Agarwal, instead of Shekawat) Dont mess with me.. Dont you dare..! No.1 toh mera hai.. Aaj tak koi aisa paida nai hua hai Jo Randhir Singh Shekhawat ko hara sakhe..! Got it?" Sanyukta in a way missed this Randhir.. He was the one who challenged her all the time and brought the best out of her.. Too much of sweetness isnt good for health.. She wanted the old Randhir back, atleast when it came to her Engineering.. Vardhan sir was damn right.. They are born Engineers..

She challenged him back.. "It will be my pleasure to mess with you Mr. Shekhawat.. Watch out for me.. Get ready to experience how it feels to be No.2"

Prof. Vardhan was so happy to witness this convo.. "I have got my Engineers back..!" He was pleased, his efforts hadn't gone waste.. They were triggering each other.. Exactly what he had wanted...

"Sanyukta.. I am warning you for one last time.. Don't even dream to grab the 1st spot.. It's mine n ll only be mine.. Samjhi..!" Her face fell.. Randhir instantly felt bad.. May be he had over done it.. He went for his own defense "Sanyukta.. Chill na.. Tum top kare ya Mein kya farak padta hai? Hai na? Cheer up girl..!" He was trying to cheer her up..  Vardhan sir who was listening to all this convo, got up, smiled, adjusted his specs and left his room...

Sanyukta felt good "Haan Randhir you are right..! Kya farak padta hai! Hum dono Ek dusre se pyar karte hai..!"

Vardhan sir went past them.. They wished him "Good Morning..!" He turned "Good Morning guys..! You carry on.. I have a bit of work..!" He smirked..

"Sure sir.. Please carry on..!" Randhir smiled at him.. Once he left, Randhir and Sanyukta were again lost in their lovey dovey convo.. Only then, they realized Vardhan sir was going up to the board.. He was scribbling something on the board under.. "Prof. Vardhan's Question!"

After a long time, Prof. Vardhan was writing his question on her board.. Once he finished, he smiled at them, threw the chalk away and left the place.. Randhir and Sanyukta exchanged a weird look..

Next moment, their legs weren't in their control.. They were rushing towards the board..

Precap: Who ll solve the question? Followed by the exams and the holidays..

Part 70:

Vidushi was surprised to see them all laugh at her... "Guys I am narrating the worst thing that happened to me and you guys are laughing? Hadh hai..!" She pouted... Parth, who was hugging her couldn't control his laughter anymore.. He joined them too.. Randhir finally managed to clear her doubts "Vidushi..! Jo b andar hua hai na, hum ne dekh liya hai.. Right from your kidnap till the guy called you Chudail..! Zyada over smart banne Ki koshish mat Karna..!" Vidushi put her head down in shame.. "Pehle kyun nai bataya..!"

"Bata dete toh yeh hasi naseeb nai hua hota na..!" She joined them in laughter too "If I can make my buddies smile with my stupidity, then I would prefer to behave stupid all my life..!" Sanyukta was touched by that statement of hers.. "Ahhh Vidushi.. How sweet!! Guyssss Group hug timeeee..!" She announced..

They all formed a circle, hugging each other.. It was a moment to be framed.. That was the first time, in the past three years, all the members of the Dream team were in sync.. Their first group hug... After five minutes, they broke their hug, Vidushi had tears in her eyes.. Randhir spotted it first "Vids ro kyun rahi ho? Ab se no Rona Dona.. Samjhi..!" Parth gave her a side hug.. Sanyukta said "Vidushi.. Finally we won the mission..!" All of them enclosed Vidushi in a lovely hug, comforting her.. "Chalo guys.. Is lovely moment ko hum FITE pahunchke b continue kar sakte hai..! Let's vacate this place first..!" She said..

She had a point.. Due to all this jhamela, they had almost lost the track of time.. Randhir twisted his wrist to catch a glimpse of his watch.. It showed 12.30 AM.. "Guys it's almost midnight.. I don't think we should get back now.. We don't even know how to go back.. With 3 girls by our side, Best option would be stay back here tonight.. What say guys?" Others agreed instantly..

"Par hum rahenge kaha? I don't wanna get into that scary bungalow again..!" Vidushi said at once..

Parth thought for a while.. "Randhir.. Woh dekho, us corner me Ek ped hai.. I think we should stay under it.. Ek raat ki hi toh baat hai..! We ll manage..! Let the girls sleep that side and we ll sleep the other side..!" The moment Parth said that, Sanyukta's expression changed "No way.. Mujhe dar lagta hai.. I can't stay alone.. How will we girls manage all alone? Parth, bad idea..!" Randhir smiled at her, total Nautanki she was.. "Parth Sanyukta is right.. We ll split in pairs.. YoYo tum Kaustuki ke saat raho, Parth tum Vidushi ke saat, and the rest together..!"

"Rest?? As if there are many left..! Sidhe sidhe bolna Sanyukta ke saat tum ruk na Chahte ho..!" Vidushi teased..

"Very smart Vidushi..!" Randhir blushed.. They were very tired.. All of them retired in their respective corners.. Randhir laid back and signalled Sanyukta to lie by his side.. She did, whenever she looked at him, his eyes were fixed on her.. He never even blinked.. She looked so damn beautiful in the moon light.. "Randhir Aise kya Dekh rahe ho? Kabhi ladki nai Dekhi kya?" She teased.. "Ladkiyan Bahut dekha hai meine.. Par tum jaisi koi nai..! No matter how hard I try, nazar hat hi nai raha hai tumse..! Isme meri kya galti hai..!" He replied..

"Poetic n all Haan..! Not bad..! Finally, tum b typical boy friend ban hi Gaye ho..! Choooo chweeet..!" She pinched his cheeks hard.. He screamed "Ouch..!" That almost disturbed Parth and Vidushi who were lost in each other's eyes.. Parth got up "Randhir.. Tum thik ho na..! Madad chahiye?" He smiled.. "Apna Kaam se Kaam rakhna..! Shut your ears off.. Bataya tha na meine.. Tum ab se Kuch nai sunoge except vidushis voice.. Jo saamne hai uspe concentrate kar, samjha..!" Randhir gave it back.. With this, Parth shut his ears off as instructed..

Randhir leaned forward.. "Sanyukta yeh Itna gap Kyun bich me? Have you reserved this place for someone else?" He pointed towards the space she had created between them.. "Randhir.. It's called safe distance..!" That made Randhir fume "Safe? Really? You think I can't touch you?" He teased..

"Randhir I know.. But you won't touch me without my permission coz I trust you..!"

"Arey Wah.. Itna trust? Hmmm.. Par mujhe na tumhe kiss Karne ka mood hai abhi.. Sirf kiss okay..! So I am going to break your trust.. Sorry can't help it..!" He moved forward, leaving Sanyukta stunned..

On the other end, YoYo and Kaustuki had already dozed off.. YoYo was even snoring.. Parth leaned towards Vidushi.. She enclosed him in a hug, wrapping her hands around his neck "Parth I still can't believe Ki you proposed me..! All thanks to Sanyukta, had she not been here I wouldn't have got you at all..! Ek aur baar bolo na Ki you love me..! Please..!" She pleaded..

"Sorry nai bolunga Mein..!" He freed himself from her hug and got up.. Vidushi was stunned "Parth kya hua! Please don't say something that ll break my heart..! Please don't back out now..!" She was about to break down, when Parth locked her lips with his's.. She gasped for breath.. But there was no stopping him.. That kiss, was more than enough for her to understand his love for her, it was such a desperate kiss as if he had been waiting for it for so long.. She opened her eyes to see him lost in the kiss.. She closed her eyes and responded.. They kissed till the time they both run out of breath.. Parth blurted "I love you Vidushi.. I love you so damn much..!" She replied, "I love you too Parth..!"

He asked "Will you be my Chudail forever? Sorry I broke the promise, please let me call you that.. I wouldn't ask anything more..!" The way he said that, made her feel so special "Yes I will be your Chudail forever..!" And hugged him tight..

"Randhir I said I trust you.. You gonna break my trust? What if someone sees it? Besharam..!" But Randhir was in no mood to stop.. He leaned more closer, Sanyukta closed her eyes tight.. She could sense him nearing.. N then she heard the sound of a kiss.. "I was not touched.. Then from where is that kissing sound emerging?" She opened her eyes and was left stunned to see, what Randhir was doing.. He was kissing her shadow lips, that fell on the tree.. Sanyukta's lips carved in a smile "Dekha Mrs Sanyukta Shekawat.. I wanted to kiss you and I found a way to kiss you..! As I told u before, loving you and being in relationship with you doesn't give me the liberty to touch you without your consent...! Coz I love you Sanyukta.. Love you so much..!" This was enough to trigger Sanyukta.. She rushed into his arms and kissed his face all over.. His eyes were the first one to be attacked, the ones that made her blush Everytime it fell on her, his nose, the smirk, everything about him was perfect.. She couldn't resist anymore from caressing his lips.. What started as a slight smooch, ended up being a passionate kiss, this time it was Sanyukta who had taken control.. Randhir responded just the way she wanted.. She whispered "Love you Randhir.. In fact love you is not the right word.. I owe you all the love, my prince..!" He pushed her down slowly and kissed on he forehead, a perfect place for placing a kiss to show, lust is not everything.. Of course it's an integral part in any love life, but forehead kiss is something that depicts "I cannot live without you, you are my everything, you mean the world to me..!" Sphe whispered back "I love you too, my Princess..!"

Sandhir Vidarth and Youstuki spent that night, in each other's arms.. Love was totally in the air...

LOVE Vs FRIENDSHIP!

By: Aishwarya Ravi

Sitting by the riverside of Ganga, Randhir was letting his tears flow down his eyes, it fell and got mixed up with the pure river of the country.. It was washing away his tears.. Wish even his sorrow could have been washed away.. "God, why did you do this with me? Why me? What will I do now..! I am going crazy thinking about it.. Parth is my best friend.. I love him so much.. I can do anything for him.. But... Can I do this? Should I do this? Please someone answer me.. Mujhe kya karna chahiye?" Randhir was screaming at the top of his voice, tears brimming in his eyes... He was sitting in the dark, all of a sudden the whole place lit up, with lights, marking the arrival of Festival of Lights, Diwali.. His phone kept ringing flashing "Jaan" calling, he disconnected..

Diwali, a festival that brought joy in many lives, had brought sorrow in Randhir's life.. This was the same day, when he had met the love of his life last year.. His Sanyukta... He had visited this riverside temple, last year with his mom.. Normally, he believes in silent prayers rather than loud ones.. So he decided to sneak out of the temple, finishing his prayers soon.. He had just come out and bumped into someone, "Hey Miss..! Can't you see me? Where are you lost?" He was hell annoyed as she had dropped something sticky on his shirt, possibly oil.. She looked at him, with her beautiful, wide eyes.. Randhir was never a person who believed in love at first sight.. But then, he would have become the leader of Love at first sight club, the moment he saw her.. Such was her impact on him.. "I am really sorry.. I didn't see you.. Please come with me..!" She never waited for his reply, pulled his hand and took him with her.. He followed her like a small kid, his mouth still open, her impact hadn't decreased... She took him to the riverside, it was so dark, yet she was so comfortable with him.. "Remove your shirt..!" She said.. He was so lost in her, that he missed her voice.. She said again "Hello.. Shirt utaro..!" That brought him back to his senses.. "Whattt! Shirt Kyun utaru?" His lips asked while his hands automatically did as instructed... She got his shirt, carefully cleaned his shirt with small amount of water.. She made sure not to pollute mother Ganga, at the same time managed to clean his shirt as well.. Suddenly, the place lit up, making the place shine with lights.. But that was no match to the angel standing opposite to him.. Her shining eyes and beautiful face made the place look more beautiful..She handed over his shirt and apologised again, only then she caught a proper glimpse of him.. He had killer looks that could make anyone go mad.. She said "I am sorry !" While he replied "Thank you..!" She smiled and left the place.. His eyes followed her all the way, she was stunningly beautiful.. She turned to look at him, "By the way, you look handsome.. Shirt pehenke bahar jaana.. Warna I can't guarantee your safety..!" She winked and left the place with a smile.. It took exactly five minutes for him to understand what she meant...

Next day, he rushed to the temple, same time, waited for her to show up.. Somehow, he felt she would come.. He couldn't justify what he felt, but then his heart said "If she feels the same way what I feel for her, she will come..!" Hours passed, still there was no sign of her.. He had been waiting for the past three hours, finally he got up.. When he turned she was there "So your patience limit is 3 hours is it?" She said, hinting him that she knew he had been waiting for the past three hours.. He smiled.. She continued "So u can wait for me only for 3 hours is it? Very bad..!" He pulled her close "Who told you I was leaving for my home? I was on my way to your home..! Coz I didn't wanna waste the time, waiting for you" She blushed and so did he.. That marked the start of their beautiful relationship..

Randhir always wanted to say that to Parth.. But whenever he was around, he couldn't gather enough courage to speak up.. Everyday he would get up thinking "Today I ll tell Parth..! For sure..!" But the day ends up like this "I couldn't tell him today.. But tomorrow for sure..!" But tomorrow never came..

That morning, Randhir was sleeping tight in his bed.. Previous night, he had spent every minute talking to Sanyukta over phone, both of them never knew when they dozed off.. Parth's call made him open his eyes deliberately.. His voice sounded different "Randhir.. Come to the railway station right now..! It's urgent..!" He disconnected the call.. Randhir had never seen his buddy sound so restless.. He jumped off his bed and rushed towards the railway station.. When he reached the platform, he saw Parth sitting comfortably.. "Parth hua kya? Tu thik hai na? Tumhe Kuch hua toh nai..!" He bombarded him with his questions.. "Randhir mujhe Kuch ho Gaya hai..!" Randhir was surprised "Kya?"

"Shayad pyar hua hai mujhe..! I wanted you to meet her.. Isliye bulaya..!" When he finished, Randhir felt a bit relaxed.. Thank god he is safe.. "Pyaar? Wah Wah.. Par yaha? Saale, tu station master se pyar karta hai kya?" He teased.. Parth pointed his finger towards someone, Randhir was stunned to see the girl he showed.. It was Sanyukta.. His heart stopped for a moment.. "No Randhir.. Wait.. May be he is pointing at someone else..!" Randhir's heart was optimistic.. 1% of his hopes got dashed when Parth said "Woh blue top wali..! Sanyukta Agarwal naam hai uska..! Kaisi hai..?" Randhir couldn't stand there anymore.. He dashed out of the station, and Parth followed him.. "Randhir Batao na! Kaisi hai? You don't like her kya?" All he could say was "She looks like an angel..! I ll meet you later Parthh..!"

He never attended any calls from Parth that day.. Sanyukta kept calling him, but he avoided her.. Parth was such an important person in his life.. He would be the last person on earth, whom Randhir would prefer hurting.. For Randhir, he meant the world.. Randhir rushed to the place where he had first met her, he wanted some time alone, only him and her memories.. He was going to bury it all at the end of the day..  His phone beeped with Parth's msg "Randhir.. Kaha ho? I have decided to propose Sanyukta tonight.. Roof top cafe aa Jaana..! When I propose I want my best buddy to be with me..!" Parth ke liye, mere friendship ke liye karna hi padega, he decided.. He kick started his bike and rushed to the spot..

Parth was waiting outside with a bunch of red roses... Once Randhir entered he rushed upto him "Randhir finally.. I missed you man! I thought you wouldn't come..! I was quite confused but the moment I saw her here, I knew I should do it.. Don't wanna wait anymore..Please mere saat hi Rehna.. I am actually tensed..! You okay na? Why are your eyes red!?" Parth kept questioning him.. Randhir's eyes were stuck on Sanyukta who was awaiting someone, eagerly.. Yes she was waiting for him to turn up.. Randhir cut him off "Parth go ahead... I ll be with you..! After all you are my best buddy..!" Parth smiled, he gained confidence.. He moved towards Sanyukta... Every step of his, made Randhir's heart bleed.. He hid himself behind a tree.. All the lovely moments they shared flashed before him.. Right from their first hug to their first kiss, he had lived and loved each and every moment of it.. Tears blurred his vision, he couldn't spot them anymore.. He felt like fainting any moment...

Parth went closer to Sanyukta.. She was busily looking at the entrance, her eyes awaiting her love.. Parth coughed a little, she looked up "Hmmm hello.. I am ...!' He started to talk "Parth Kashyap, my best friend..!" Randhir finished..Parth was shocked to see Randhir, talk so comfortably with Sanyukta.. He turned towards Sanyukta "Sanyu I told you na, he is Parth my best friend and Parth she is Sanyukta Agarwal, soon to be Sanyukta Shekawat, my love..!" Sanyukta hugged Randhir side ways, and said "Yeah.. Nice to meet you Parth.. Randhir always keeps talking about you.. He even makes me jealous at times..!" Parth was stunned... Randhir continued "Sanyukta, you please make yourself comfortable.. Parth and I will just be back..!" He took him out..

Once they reached outside, Parth jerked off "Randhir.. How could you?" Before he could talk further, Randhir stopped him "I know Parth.. You ll be having hell lot of questions in your mind.. You might even think I betrayed you.. But please Parth try and understand, had I hid this truth from you, then that would be betrayal not this.. People might say, why can't Randhir sacrifice his love for his best friend? Forget about other people, even I thought so for a second.. But then, she isn't a lifeless material that I can sacrifice for you.. She is my love Parth.. She loves me.. I love her.. Friendship ke liye Kuch b sacrifice kar sakta hu mein par mera pyar nai.. Even if I do sacrifice my love, she wouldn't be happy neither would you.. I don't wanna be a Mahaan, I am a very normal human being.. Madly in love with my Sanyukta.. At the same time, you are my best buddy.. Neither I will sacrifice my friendship for my love nor I would sacrifice my love for my friendship..! Nai kar sakta mein..! You both are important to me.. No way, I would hurt or cheat one to make the other happy..! I am sorry Parth..! If you think I don't deserve your friendship, then I have nothing to say...!" Hep is face fell, he slowly turned to leave the place, when Parth pulled him back and hugged him tight.. They shared a warm hug, tears rolling down their cheeks.. Parth pushed him back and handed him the flowers "Saale ja.. Bhabhi ko propose karo mere saamne..!" Randhir hugged him tight..

Sanyukta was smiling at them from a distance, she was indeed jealous seeing the loveable bond they shared...

Authors Note: Friendship and love are two important part in everyone's life. No way, we can sacrifice one for the other.. Girls aren't a lifeless material, don't ever play with their feelings.. Most importantly, don't assume things.. This applies for both the genders.. Love is pure, let it be pure!❤️❤️❤️

Crest Fallen - Part 11

Part 11:

Randhir parked his car in the parking lot of his office.. His mind was still hovering around unwanted things.. He just couldn't get some things out of his mind... On the other hand, Parth's words echoed in his ears "Randhir stop torturing you like this now for Gods sake.. You have been promoted as the Managing director of FITE.. You must behave like one.. Atleast for few days, keep your personal life aside and concentrate on your professional life.. I know it's easily said than done but then Randhir, my buddy Randhir can do anything.. Nothing is impossible for him..!" Randhir screamed "Yes nothing is impossible for me...!" Security guard gave him a weird look only then he realized he had said that loud.. Guard wished him "Good Morning sir..!" To which he slightly nodded his head and moved ahead..

Whole office was staring at Randhir.. They haven't seen him for days together and all of a sudden the news of him being the MD came through. They were quite surprised.. He looked different, he initially used to be very chirpy and cheerful but now he carried that rigid bossy look on his face.. Fame and high position can change anyone, they felt.. Randhir dashed into his cabin and threw himself on the chair.. "I wanna divert my mind.. Best thing is to concentrate on my work..!" He pulled open a file and immersed himself into it, when he heard a knock on his door.. "Sir may I come in..!" Arun seemed permission, Till few days back, Arun used to enter his cabin even without knocking but today things have changed.. Randhir nodded his head and let him in..

"Sir.. I hope you are doing good.. I came in here to introduce someone who has joined our company today..!" He pointed towards a girl standing by his side.. Randhir's eyes scanned her, she was busily trying to find something... He asked Arun to leave.. Randhir kept staring at her, his eyes made her remember who he was.. "It's the same guy whom I met in cafe the other day..! God!! Is he my boss? Am I gonna work under this MCP? Please tell me No..!" She was praying hard... Randhir punched his fist on the table to bring her back to senses.. "Would you mind introducing yourself?" He sounded rude...

"Yesssss sirrr..! I am Sanyukta Agarwal, from Delhi.. I have completed my Engineering.. I have joined FITE as your Personal Assistant..!" She introduced herself..

Randhir's mind could not process anything what she uttered except the first line.. "Come again?" He ordered..

She felt weird "Sir I have joined FITE as your Personal Assistant..!" He cut her off "No.. Before that?" It scared her "I have completed my engineering, hailing from Delhi..!" It raged him more.. He threw the water glass away, it dashed on the wall and broke into pieces.. "Much before that..!" Sanyukta gulped hard "Sir... I ammmm Sanyukta Agarwal..!"

"YOU ARE FIREDDDDD...!" He screamed..

"But sir..?" She came forward..

"No it's no buts... Just get the hell out of here..!"

Sanyukta couldn't take that anymore.. How can he be so rude to her? No way, I am going to let this guy fire me.. "Sir if you want to fire me, fair enough but I deserve an explanation..!"

"I don't owe you an explanation.. You get that!? Get lost..!"

"No I will not move from this place unless I get to know the reason..!"

"Really? Okay listen to my explanation.. You are being fired for NO REASON..! Got that?"

Randhir was fuming in anger somehow he wanted to get her out of his sight.. But she was in no mood to give up.. She stood still..

"Listen YOU.. Don't mess with me.. Don't dare to mess with Randhir Singh Shekhawat.. If you go by yourself, well and good.. If you don't, then I ll get someone to pick you up and throw you on the streets.. Which one do you prefer?" He threatened.. His eyes were red by now..

Sanyukta could sense situation getting out of her control.. She turned to leave.. He fell back on his chair.. She left his room "I am not going to let you win Randhir Shekawat..!" She smirked..

Precap: Randhir shocked to see her back in office.. He promises to make her life hell..

Crest Fallen - Part 10

Part 10:

I will make it the best birthday for him... He is the special person in my life uske liye toh kuch bhi karne ke liye thaiyar hun mein.. After all its his first birthday after we met n I want him to remember it till the end of our lives.. No matter how many birthdays we celebrate together.. this will always be the best birthday ever.. I ll make it memorable for him..

Sanyukta made up her mind to make his birthday special by giving him a surprise.. little did she know that She was awaiting the shock of her life..
Sanyukta reached Arnav's flat exactly at 6 pm that day.. She knew very well Arnav wouldn't be home.. He usually hangs out with his office friends in the evening no way he wouldn't do it on such a special day, his birthday eve!! When She reached, as expected he wasnt home.. The door was locked.. Being a topper in one of the top most engineering colleges in India, opening a small lock was like a child's play for Sanyukta.. She carefully looked all the sides, just to check if someone was noticing her.. once she made sure that the place was completely isolated, she pulled her hair pin and started to unlock the door..  In about two tries, it opened.. She patted her back, "Sanyukta proud of u dear! you once again proved you are born for engineering!" and entered the flat...

It was a typical Arnav's flat.. He is such a clean guy with clean habits.. nobody would dare to say that they have entered a bachelor's room.. so neat n clean it was... Sanyukta closed the door from behind and it automatically got locked.. this way, only Arnav could get in now..
Sanyukta made sure not to disturb anything in the house.. She wanted it to look the way it was when he had left.. She slowly entered his room and jumped on his bed.. N closed her eyes.. "Arnav where are you baby? I am so excited to meet you.. to hug you.. to wish you happy birthday..! come soon..!" her thoughts were disturbed by the sound of the door knob!! someone was opening it.. possibly Arnav.. "OMG he is there!! Hurry up Sanyukta..!" she rushed towards the hiding point.. "I dont want him to spot Me now.. Chalo Mr.Arnav let's play hide n seek..!" the game she would never dare to play ever again..

Sanyukta pushed herself under his bed.. The moment she would see his legs, she decided to come out and let him get the surprise of his life.. She was dying to see his reaction.. Footsteps were nearing the room.. But there was something strange in it.. it wasn't of a single person, may be two or more than that.. who might it be? She was confused.. the door opened and he(they) barged in.. It was a girl who had accompanied Arnav.. Sanyukta was shocked to see their closeness... She was hugging him all the way... Sanyukta pulled herself more under the bed.. All she could now do was to wait.. "Is Arnav cheating on me?" the thought struck her mind for a minute but then she cursed herself for thinking so.. "My Arnav is definitely not that type" she shut her conscience but couldnt hold for long... when that happened, it shattered her into pieces.. He pushed her on the bed and got on top of her... She laughed "Itni b jaldi kya hai? " He smiled "Raat baaki baat baaki..!" Sanyuktas eyes widened...  The girl again spoke "What about your girl friend? won't she be coming here to wish u?" He replied "Ahhh Kaun? Sheela,  Geetha ya Prerna? " She smiled again "Arey woh engineering college wali!" This time his reply killed everything within her.. "Arey woh Sanyukta?  don't call her my girl friend.. You're my girl friend tonight baby.. Bdw, I am with her only for two reasons.. one is money and the other is obvious..!" he winked.. He fell on her and she giggled... Sanyukta could hardly control the tears rolling down her cheeks!!

He was having fun with the girl.. the noise they created and the creeky sound of the bed just made Sanyukta go mad.. She closed her ears with both hands, shut her eyes tight and cried mutely... "No one in love deserves such a pain... I now know what it feels to be like in hell..! He has betrayed me..! For all the love I gave him, this is what he has in return to give me? BETRAYAL?? Why the hell did I even let him come in my life? I ll not spare you Arnav.. Ab Mein use nai chodungi..!" Next moment she changed her mind "Nai.. I can't see him with someone else in such a state.. First I have to get out of here..!" She could hear all the giggling sounds they made.. She shut her ears and eyes tightly, disconnecting herself from the outer world, only tears for her company... After almost three hours, when she was sure there was no movement, she slowly withdrew her... They had supposedly dozed off.. Sanyukta had no courage to look back, she never wanted to see him anymore.. She rushed out of the room, opened the main door and dashed out of the apartment..

Worst birthday one could ever celebrate with their loved ones.. She had no memory as to how she reached home, so late in the night.. The moment she entered her room, she threw herself on the floor and burst out crying... She didn't feel like touching her bed too.. The moment she saw her bed, it sent a sick feeling in her stomach.. She cried, cried and cried.. .. Two days passed, she never came out of the room.. So many thoughts were flowing in her mind.. Slowly her love turned into hatred for him.. I will sue him, I ll not spare him and everything.. She even tried calling him.. "May be I should hear a justification from him? Or Atleast confront him?" He never picked her call.. Finally decided, I am not going to go after him anymore... He is a finished chapter in my book.. I am not going to reopen it.. NO WAY!!

Sanyukta quickly vacated her flat, and moved on to a PG.. She changed her number as well.. She took a different route to college from then on.. She would see him waiting for her at the same place, but she ignored.. He had been doing the same for almost 6 months, after which he was nowhere to be seen.. He had vanished.. Sanyukta would console herself saying it is over and she has moved on.. But, at nights, when she was alone at home, all she would do is to cry, cry and cry.. It became her habit.. At one point, she could live without consuming food but not without crying...

END OF FLASHBACK...

She finished her Engineering.. Applied for a job.. She got placed in FITE Limited, Mumbai.. That was her first day in Mumbai.. She was thrilled and looking forward for the first day at office.. Sanyukta didn't know anyone in Mumbai except Vidushi, her school friend.. The moment she landed up in Mumbai, she dialed her number.. "Vidushi..! I reached.. Can you tell me how to come to your place? I need your address.. !" Vidushi on the other hand asked.. "Where are you right now?"

Sanyukta looked at all the directions.. She found a coffee shop nearby.. "I am near Lokhandwala.. Outside Barista.. !" She replied.. "Oh waha! Ok you get in and stay there.. It ll take 30 mins for me to reach..! I ll be right there..! Okay?" Vidushi asked.. "Yeah Vidushi.. I ll wait..!" Sanyukta turned back, disconnecting the call when someone went past through her, she almost dashed and fell down.. The person who went past her never even bothered to look back.. Sanyukta was astonished while she got a hand to pick her up.. The guy smiled at her, "Please get up..!" Sanyukta caught his hand and helped herself.. She still couldn't take her eyes off the guy who entered the coffee shop.. The guy who helped her spoke up.. "U okay? Or u hurt or what?" Sanyukta replied "No I am fine.. But Mumbai me Kisi ko sorry word ke baare me nai pata hai kya?" She asked sarcastically.. The guy smiled "Look.. I am sorry on his behalf.. He doesn't mean to be rude it's just that.. Hmmm.. Whatever.. I am sorry..!" She nodded her head "It's okay..!" N when he looked up, she was gone.. He went inside the coffee shop to accompany his friend..

Sanyukta took a chair opposite to the "ATTITUDE" guy... Parth was consoling him, he heard him calling "Randhir..!" Randhir..! Naam me hi attitude hai, she thought.. She ignored them and ordered a cold coffee.. Parth spoke up "Randhir..! It's high time you forget all this and move on man..! Life is so short to have such feelings like revenge n all.. She came in the middle and she is gone now.. Forget it.. It's over..! Try to concentrate on your career now Randhir..!" Randhir was hardly listening.. His eyes were fixed on the table next to them..

There were a lovely couple, probably on their first date.. She looked cute while he looked handsome.. Randhir's eyes were fuming in anger, the girl said "You can't even do this for me? You're so bad yar..! You don't love me at all..!" Apparently they were having a lovable argument over some petty thing.. The guy replied, "Baby how can you say that? I love you Yaar I love you so much.. I can do anything for you.. Just anything..!" This was enough to fuel the fire inside Randhir.. He thumped his fist on the table and dashed towards theirs, leaving behind a stunned Parth.. Even Sanyukta was frightened.. Randhir went up to them and pointed his finger towards the girl "Hey you! You are trying to cheat him na.. You girls have no other business other than manipulating guys? Why on earth you people are so cheap..!" The girl looked frightened.. She was looking at him with her eyes wide.. The guy came in defense "Hey dude..! What's wrong with you? Why are you behaving like a maniac?' Randhir raged towards him.. "I am not a maniac but yes you ll become one, if you trust this jerk..! Bro, I am telling you she is not what she pretends to be..! Don't trust her..! Don't fall in love..!" He yelled... The guy cut it off "Dude! Mind you own business.. Honey, let's leave..!" They left the place not wanting to pick up a fight with Randhir.. Parth caught his hand and stopped him from following them.. But there was no stopping Randhir.. He kept yelling "Hey you ll be heartbroken..! Trust me..! Ditch her right now..!"

Sanyukta could not take it anymore.. She was so hell frightened by the way she saw him behave.. Thank God, Vidushi arrived just in time.. Sanyukta left the place, wondering "I have never met such a jerk in my life.. So cheap he is.. I never would want to see him again in my life.. Never..! I was right about guys.. They are jerks.. I hate them.. I HATE THEM..!" She left..

Randhir fell on the floor and broke into tears.. Parth tried to calm him down.. Randhir rushed into his arms, and cried his heart out.. "Never trust these girls Parth.. Never..! I hate them..! I HATE THEM..!"

Crest Fallen - Part 9

Part 9:

Sanyukta could hardly concentrate in the class.. All she thought was about the guy whom she met this morning. Even stout PKC’s face was replaced by his cute handsome face.. She kept smiling at PKC during the lectures, that kinda disturbed him. All the words uttered by Pkc bounced over her head.. She hardly paid any attention..

Sanyukta's PoV:

Why am I thinking about him all the time? Ek hi baar mili hu and woh b Mujhe thappad mara usne, Naam tak nai janti.. Phir b, he keeps distracting me.. Sirf usi ke baare me sochti rehti hu.. Can't even concentrate in the class.. Uff Yeh ho Kya gaya mujhe? Kahin, Yeh pyar toh nai?

Her cell phone beeped with "You have a new text message" .. Unknown number.. She opened to read, "Hey Angel..! I know you must be thinking about me.. Don't miss me so much.. I am waiting right outside your college.. Meet me once your classes are over.. Till then, miss you..! Lots of love - Arnav!"

Sanyukta's eyes opened wide seeing the text msg.. "How dare he!! N what does he think of himself..! He is expecting me to meet him after college.. Hadh hai.. I am not going to meet him.. Never ever.. But how on earth he knows that I am thinking about him?? Whatever it is.. Sanyukta will not meet any Arnav today.. Bas! Ek baar decide kar liya Toh kar kiya..!" She decided...

Her eyes were preying on the watch.. Time hardly moved.. Somehow it struck 4 PM after a long time.. She quickly pulled her bags, and set out of her class.. Never even bothered to wait for her friends.. Once she reached the gate, her eyes started wandering all around the street.. "Why am I even searching for him..!" Next moment, she consoled herself saying "let me find him today and make it very clear that he shouldn't be following me anymore..!" After a perfect act of justification, her eyes settled on a guy who was standing near the bus stop.. He was the same guy whom she met this morning.. She rushed up to him.. He seemed unmoved.. "Hello Mister.. What do you think of yourself? Why did you ask me to come and meet you? Why are you waiting for me? Why will I think about you?And how do you know my number?" She threw all sorts of questions at him to which he had only a smile for answer..

"Hello.. Why are you smiling?? I am demanding an answer!!" She raged..

"Hello Miss.. When did I message you?   Did i ask you to come and meet me? He asked..

Sanyukta opened the text message and showed it to him.. "See this.. You are Arnav na..?"

"No I am not Arnav.. !" He denied.. "Neither there is a picture of the one who sent it nor the content points to me, then how did you even think it's me who sent it to you?"

He had a point... There was nothing as such mentioned.. Still, she thought it would be him.. But why? He continued "You thought it must be me coz you like me.. Don't Say no coz you and I know it's not true.. Bdw, hi I am Arnav n I love you..!" He said it out, bluntly.. "If you slap me I ll consider it as a No, if you don't then it's a yes..!"

All she could do was to blush, thus resulting in a big Yes... That was a start of their relationship.. Arnav was a software professional, tall, well built.. Any girl would fall in love with him the moment he smiles.. Such a killer smile he had.. Sanyukta and Arnav were looking like the best couple on earth..

Arnav did everything possible to make her happy.. She was being showered with so much of love for the first time in her life.. He remembered every single thing about her.. Every evening they used to hang out together, hand in hand... He made her birthday so special, it was the best birthday she had ever had.. Pure bliss.. Tons of gifts, candlelight dinner and the FIRST EVER DATE!! Everything was perfect.. Sanyukta's love life was nothing less than a fairytale..

One morning, she called up Arnav... "Arnav.. I ll have to go to Mumbai.. It's emergency.. I ll be back only after a week.. I know you ll be angry on me but then, it's unavoidable.. Please don't be angry on me..!" She kept talking to which Arnav had only one thing to say.. "Sanyu do you even realise what you are saying? Kal tum mere saat nai rahogi?" He sounded so low...

"Arnav baby.. I am telling you na.. It's an emergency.. You're my good baby na!" She convinced him like a cute little baby.. "Do whatever you want!! I think you've totally forgotten everything.. I never wanted to say this to u but couldn't control myself after this.. Toh suno.. I hate you..!" He hung up..

Sanyukta disconnected the call, with a smile on her face..! She had so many things to do, so much of planning and this was the first step towards it.. After all it's her Arnav's birthday...

She was getting ready to surprise him.. But Little did she know about the stuff, that was awaiting her...! That would change things in her life forever...!

Always Be Mine - Part 69

Part 69:

Vidushi could hardly spot anything around her.. It was pitch dark.. "What the hell! Where am I now? Kisne kiya yeh sab mere saat?" She tried remembering what happened few hours ago.. She had moved away from Sanyukta, her eyes fixed on Parth who was going hyper.. She stumbled and fell down.. Her mobile fell few yards away from her.. She slowly crawled upto the place where her mobile was lying, she reached her hand out to pick.. Suddenly she felt someone closing her mouth and covering her nose with a kerchief.. That's the last thing she remembered.. When she woke up, she was lying here all alone...

Suddenly, she heard some movement outside.. Some footsteps approaching.. She laid back and closed her tight.. "Let me pretend to be unconscious.. I ll have to find out the truth behind this kidnapping" she decided.. Footsteps were nearing.. Someone pushed open the door.. Two men entered..

Whole dream team was looking for a single clue in the forest.. They couldn't find any.. "Randhir mujhe Bahut dar lag raha hai.. Seriously I feel Vidushi is in trouble..!" Sanyukta was concerned.. But somehow Randhir wasn't ready to give up "Don't worry.. She is a brave girl.. She ll take care of herself no matter wherever she is..!" He tried to sound positive..

After few hours of vigorous searching session, all of them collided at a point.. Parth seemed exhausted. His eyes instantly fell on Randhir.. The way he had tied his hand along with her's.. "Wish I had behaved this way with Vidushi.. This wouldn't have happened at all.. This guy is making me feel worse about myself and more guilty..!"... He said at once "Randhir I have searched almost everywhere.. No luck.. I just hope she is safe..!" Randhir patted him, "She will be safe..! Anyways guys, let's go together.. I don't want to risk anybody's safety.. Jo hoga dekha jayega.. Chalo..! Let's go that way!" He lead the way..

It was pitch dark.. Randhir and Parth went ahead with their torch on, while others followed them, looking in all directions, screaming her name.. Sanyukta hid vidushis phone in her bag, she didn't want Parth to know about it.. Otherwise his condition would become worse, she had decided.. Sanyukta spotted a small bungalow in one far corner of the jungle.. It seemed isolated.. It instantly reminded her of all the ghost movies she had ever seen.. It was scary.. "Who would build a bungalow in the middle of an isolated forest? Strange..!" She patted Randhir.. "Randhir woh Dekho.. That house seems scary.. Should we peep in and check if Vidushi is stuck in there by any chance?" She asked..

"Sanyukta why will Vidushi get inside such a messy bungalow? Drop the idea.. She won't be there..!" Randhir cut it off and Parth seemed convinced by Sanyukta.. "Randhir we should take a look.. What's the harm?" He insisted.. Randhir couldn't say a No to Parth.. They proceeded towards the bungalow.. Randhir and Parth were the first ones to reach.. The moment they reached the doorstep, they heard someone moving inside, Randhir pulled Parth by his hand and stopped him from getting inside.. He dragged him along with him to the side "Randhir kya kar rahe ho?" He was annoyed "Parth let's not break in.. I sense something wrong.. Let's first assure if Vidushi is inside or not..!" Randhir had a point.. They went behind the bungalow and slowly opened a window.. Their eyes instantly fell on the person, lying on the floor... It was Vidushi.. Parth yelled "Vi..!" Randhir shut him up and nodded his head in a No..

Two men entered that room and stood before Vidushi.. One was stout and the other was lean.. They were heavily armed.. She closed her eyes tight and concentrated.. One of them spoke "Sundar ladki hai re.. Nai?" To which the other one answered "Hamare kismat me kahan?" He let out a sigh.. First person spoke again "Sahab aate hi honge.. Chalo bahar jaake intezaar karte hai Unka..!" The other one opposed "Nai bhai.. Atleast yaha rehke Isse dekh toh paunga Mein.. Bahar jaake karenge kya!" They both pulled a chair and sat infront of her.. Their eyes were preying on her.. Parth was boiling in anger.. Randhir controlled him "Guys listen.. We need to handle this situation cleverly.. As far as we see, Vidushi is safe n sound.. We just can't break in as those guys are heavily armed.. We need to make a plan, n I am sure these people are just arrows.. Main culprit is yet to arrive.. We need to understand the whole thing before reacting.. One bad step, can turn out to be a big danger for Vidushi.. Parth relax..!" He patted his back.. "You trust me na..!" Parth nodded in a yes..

While they were discussing, there heard some movement outside, possibly a vehicle.. Randhir pulled Parth closer and all of them hid behind a tree.. They watched someone get down and go inside the room.. Once he entered, Randhir and Parth peeped inside the window.. Two men, stood up and rushed outside.. Their convo as follows:

"Sahab.. Kaam ho Gaya hai.. Woh andar hi hai..!" One of the men spoke and the guy who just entered patted his back "Shabash mere sheron! Kya Kaam kiya hai tum dono ne..! Zara mein b toh Dekhun us Kameeni ko..!" Parth gritted his teeth in anger.. "How dare they call her Kameeni..!" Randhir instructed "Guys take your position.. We may need to attack anytime.. Be ready.. We can't let anything wrong happen with Vidushi..!"

The guy entered the room happily.. His eyes fell on Vidushi, the moment he realised whom he saw his expression changed.. His face turned pale.. He was about to shout, when his phone rang... He picked up "Meri shaadi ho Gaya hai... Aap please mujhe bhul jaana.. Kisi aur se shaadi kar Lena aap.. Miss u and bye mere pati parmeshwar..! Oops sorry mere ex pati..!" And the call got disconnected.. The man roared in anger.. He turned towards his goons "Yeh kisko utake leke aaye ho Andhe log? Meine apni Biwi ko utane ke liye kaha jo Aaj is jungle me apne aashiq se Milne aayi thi.. Aur tum dono ne kisi chudail ko utake leke aaye ho..! Ab toh usne dusri shaadi b kar li hai..!" He punched them hard... Randhir and others looked at each other, their expressions were worth watching.. The man continued "Dekho isko jaha se utaya Wahi pe chodke aana..! Atleast Yeh Kaam toh thik se kar dena tum log..!"

Vidushi sprung up from the floor.. The guys untied her hands and legs.. The moment she got up, she went up to the guy and said "Chudail kisko kaha bey? Haan? Chudail hogi tumhari Biwi aur tu rakshas samjha?" She taunted him.. "Dekh Meine abhi abhi apni Biwi khoyi hai.. Agar tu Ek second aur yaha rukhi na, toh tumse dusri shaadi kar lunga.. Samjhi?" Vidushi quickly vacated the place not wanting to risk.. "Mein Khud Chali jaungi..!"

Randhir tried hard to control his laughter but he couldn't.. He moved away and burst out laughing... Parth and others joined him as well.. "Hahahhahahhaah..! Parthhhhh Parthh..!" Randhir wanted to say something but couldn't stop laughing.. Finally he managed to gain control over his laughter, "Parth.. I was planning for a action block par yaha toh ulta comedy block ho Gaya...! Hahahaha..! I was even stretching my muscles pata hai? Silly me..!" Soon all of them joined him in laughter.. But soon Parth realized she must be coming out anytime.. He rushed towards the door but Randhir stopped him again.. He dragged him a few yards away and made them all wait as if they were looking out for vidushi..

Vidushi came out and took a few steps, she spotted Parth and others on lookout for her., she rushed towards him, Parth released his hand from Randhir's grip and rushed towards her.. Vidushi flew into his arms and he embraced her.. She was crying and so was he.. "I am so sorry Vidushi.. I am really sorry..! I ll never hurt you again.. I love you..!" He blurted out.. She backed off "Sach Parth?" He pulled her close again "Haan.. I love you so much..!" Randhir coughed a bit, they broke the hug.. Randhir teased her...

"Vidushi where the hell did u go? Pata hai we were all so tensed.. Hua kya tumhe aur kaha thi tum?" Parth was surprised at his question while Randhir winked at him.. Vidushi narrated her version of the story..

"Randhir tumhe pata hai? I was kidnapped.. There were 5 people.. I was stuck between them.. You know, they were praising about my beauty.. Two of them, wanted to be my boy friend.. Meine Bol diya ki I am not interested, and I am reserved only for Parth.. Par woh log toh maan hi nai rahe the.. Bahut mushkil se samjhaya meine un logon ko.. They even fell on my legs, par mein kya karti? I only love Parth.. Finally, Bahut hardwork ke baad hi maan Gaye woh log..! Aur b Bahut Kuch hua, par I made it loud and clear ki only Parth can be my boy friend atleast in this Janam..!" She was so genuinely making them believe her lie..

Randhir, Sanyukta and Parth looked at each other... Vidushi asked "Kya hua?" They laughed out loud "Vidushi tum kabhi nai sudhrogi na..!" They all said in sync, while Parth hugged her..

Always Be Mine - Part 68

Part 68:

Sanyukta's eyes widened in fear.. Parth screamed "Vidushi kaha ho Tum? Listen, don't play with me? I want you right in front of my eyes, RIGHT NOW..!" Randhir and Sanyukta exchanged a scary look.. Parth seemed to have so disturbed.. "Okay.. I know.. You don't like me yelling at you na? I ll not yell at you.. You wanted me to behave nicely with you na? I will behave nicely whole of my life.. I won't even call you Chudail..! Please come out.. Please....!" Sanyukta placed her hand on Parth's shoulder "Parthhhh... I think we have lost her..!" He turned to look at her.. "What do you mean by lostttt Sanyukta? Have you lost it? Why the hell did you even bring her here? Tumhare wajah se hi yeh sab hua hai.. You are the reason behind all of this.. Kyun kiya tumne aisa?" He eyes were red.. He marched towards her, she backed off when Randhir came in the middle.. "Listen Parth.. I know you're devastated par iska matlab yeh nai Ki you ll shift all the blame over Sanyukta...! Mind it bro..!"

"Wow Randhir wow.. Now you are standing up for her? Sanyukta can't be right all the time.. She is the sole reason behind whatever happened.!" Parth accused...

"She isn't... You wanna know who? Let me tell you.. Sharpen your ears and be ready to accept the truth.. It's YOU n ur so called EGO.. You always knew she loved you but still you were busily ignoring her.. You taunted her n number of times.. It's not Sanyukta who's to be blamed here.. It's YOU n only YOU.. Your activities towards her lead to this situation.. Sanyukta was just trying to help.. But by the look of it, I don't think you deserve it..!" When Randhir finished, Parth felt as if someone had slapped him so hard with a indigestible truth..
To everyone in FITE, if you pose a question as to who is Mr. Attitude and who is the guy who's full of ego, nobody ll even take a second to answer RANDHIR SINGH SHEKHAWAT.. But, just look at what a four letter simple word has done to him, LOVE.. Even now, he carried attitude and ego, but they are placed after love in his priority list... He always stood up for her, no matter what.. That's love.. Parth instantly felt guilty.. He put his head down in shame and dropped down on his knees..

Randhir could see his buddy going through the realization... Not wanting to prolong this awkward silence, He immediately cheered him up.. Randhir shook Parth by his shoulders.. "Parth.. Instead of blaming each other, shouldn't we be focussing on finding Vidushi.. Let's keep aside all the problems for a while.. What's more important now is, to find her, your love.. Stop sulking now.. Get up..!" He pulled him up and Parth hugged him tight.. He looked at Sanyukta "I am sorry Sanyukta..!" He whispered.. "Parth enough now.. Chalo.. Woh yahi Kahi hogi.. We ll find her..! Yoyo, Jiggy kaha hai? Ask him to trace her mobile signal..!" He asked Yoyo..

"Randhir paaji.. Woh dhokle toh kab ka nikal Gaya yaha se.. Ab tak toh FITE b pahunch Gaya Hoga woh..!" He answered, adding to Randhir's frustration.. "Shit..! Now it's manual work for us.. Chalo koi nai.. We ll do it.. Parth Tum Yoyo aur Kaustuki ke saat us taraf jaake dekho.. Mein aur Sanyukta is tarah jaate hai..! Guys keep calm and don't panic.. We ll find Vidushi..!" His team followed their leaders instructions..

Sanyukta followed Randhir while others went in the other direction.. Randhir held her hand and kept looking at her every now and then.. Sanyukta wanted to thank him for what he had just did, but then couldn't gather enough courage to talk to him.. Their eyes were scanning all around continuously, looking for a clue, at times shouting Vidushi's name looking for a response.. Randhir was focussing on some movement nearby when Sanyukta fled from the place.. He immediately rushed towards her.. She picked up something from the floor... It was Vidushi's mobile.. Randhir lost his patience and yelled "Sanyukta why can't you just be with me? Aisa bhagna zaroori tha kya?" Sanyukta showed him what she had just discovered.. "Yeh Dekho Randhir.. Vidushi ka mobile.. I came to pick it up..! I am really feeling scared now.. Usse Kuch hua toh nai hoga na..! Please Randhir bolo na..!" Randhir calmed her down "Dekho relax.. Usse Kuch nai hoga.. May be she might have dropped it here by mistake.. Actually it's a clue for us.. She might be somewhere near.. Mil jayegi don't worry..!" He patted her back "Chalo..!" Randhir's words made her a little less worried..

Randhir and Sanyukta took a step further in the dark, when all of a sudden it started drizzling.. Randhir looked back, his eyes fixed on Sanyukta.. He released her from his grip and came closer... His closeness again did something to her "Sanyukta give me your dupatta..!" Sanyukta's mouth opened in shock.. "Kya????"

"I said give me your dupatta.. Dupatta do..!" He ordered.. Sanyukta got tensed..

"Randhir I know it's raining and you want the record to be intact but still it's not the right time for romance.. Let's focus on finding Vidushi.. Baad me Dekh lenge.. I promise I ll not let the record break..!" Randhir pulled her dupatta himself when she finished..

"Randhir yeh kya zabardasti hai? How could you think of romancing with me in such a situation? Are you okay? It's insane yaar..!" She kept blaming him for being so insensitive.. She suddenly felt something in her hand.. When she looked closer, she saw Randhir tying one side of her dupatta to his hand and the other end with hers.. He tied it tightly and made sure to test it's grip by pulling it twice.. "Randhir.. Yeh tum kar kya rahe ho..?" She was puzzled.. He leaned forward... "Vidushi kho gayi hai, n I am still standing strong enough to look for her.. Agar tumhe Kuch ho Gaya toh, I ll not be in my senses to do anything.. Isliye you better stick to me and dare not to get lost..! Samjhi..!" He tried to sound so casual, but that words touched her heart so deep.. "This guy is such a darling..!" She couldn't stop herself from admiring him, even at that moment.. ❤️ They were on the lookout for their lost friend..

Parth was crying all the way, all he could manage was to apologise to her.. When she was around, he wished her to get lost but now when she is indeed lost, he could understand how badly and deeply he is in love with her.. "Just once Vidushi.. Just once.. Please give me a chance..!" He murmured...

Vidushi opened her eyes... She was lying somewhere.. Totally dark.. It seemed to be some room.. No movement whatsoever.. She never knew for how long she had been lying there.. She tried to get up, but fell almost instantly.. Only then she realized her legs and hands had been tied.. She had possibly been kidnapped..

Always Be Mine - Part 67

Part 67:

Randhir was the first to reach the place from where the sound emerged, followed by Parth..  They were breathing hard.. On the other hand, Jiggy rushed out of the forest "No ways.. Mein yaha aur nai rahunga.. It's very dangerous... Kuch b ho sakta hai.. These people are there na, they ll somehow save the girls.. Mein bas hostel pahunch jaata Hun safely.. My safety is my first priority.. Ghar ka eklauta varis hu Mein..!"

Randhir flashed the torch all around.. "Sanyukta.... !" He kept screaming her name... Wherein Parth went out to look for Vidushi on the other side.. Three pair of eyes were preying on their moves.. They were happy to see their plan work... Sanyukta smiled at Vidushi, leaned by her side and murmured "Dekha? I told u na..! See how concerned he is for you.. Parth is in love Vidushi.. With u..! Ab toh smile de de..!" Sanyukta could spot Vidushi blush even in the dark.. They were happy to see Rule 2 working.. Kaustuki was happy to see YoYo still hanging on, looking out for her, whereas Jiggy might have reached college safely by now.. But in some corner of their hearts, they couldn't see their guys suffering.. Sanyukta felt bad..

Vidushi whispered "Sanyukta Ab bas karte hai.. We ll tell them all.. Let's not make them suffer anymore.. They don't deserve it..!" It was exactly what Sanyukta was thinking.. Vidushi had a point, They don't deserve it..! She nodded in a yes.. Sanyukta, Vidushi and Kaustuki were about to come out in open.. When they heard Parth screaming.. He was probably yelling at Randhir for some unknown reason.. They pulled themselves back and sharpened their ears... Randhir had probably asked Parth something that had disturbed him.. Randhir repeated "Parth if your love is true, she ll return safe and sound.. Please don't worry..!"

"What the hell Randhir? Don't try to mislead me..! For a moment, I felt it was love.. But no, it isn't.. It's just sympathy.. Vidushi is being hated by everyone in college including you.. I was feeling bad for her.. Even now, I have come all the way just to shred off my guilty feeling.. Somehow I feel I am responsible for it coz I kinda insulted her this morning.. Okay? That's it don't have too many ideas..!" He was raging out his anger on Randhir.. The moment Vidushi heard it, she backed off, turned towards Sanyukta.. "This is not the end Sanyu.. Picture abhi Baaki hai..!"

Sanyukta whispered "For a moment, even I felt bad for Parth but no he doesn't deserve it yet.. Bahut bhaav kha raha hai na khane do.. We ll not let his ego win today..! Vidushi go that side.. I ll go this way and Kaustu tum us taraf jao.. Aaj toh nai chodungi mein inhe..!"  Randhir was totally shocked.. He didn't know what to do.. Tears were automatically flowing down his eyes, he deliberately wiped it.. He assured himself, everything ll be fine.. But nothing seemed to..

Vidushi slowly moved to the other side without making any noise.. She hid herself behind a tree and screamed his name yet again "Parthh..!" This time she sounded more painful, as if someone was stabbing her... That moment, Parth got up, shredding all his EGO.. "Vidushiiii where are you...! Look, I ll not hurt you again.. I ll not pull your legs..! Please saamne aa jao..! He kept sobbing.. Randhir lost his control... He always believed guys don't and shouldn't cry.. But he could hardly hold his tears back.. "Sanyuktaaa kaha ho damn it..! Kyun kar Rahi ho Aisa..! I ll die idiot..! I can't imagine a second of my life without you..!" He stumbled and was about to fall down when someone caught hold of him.. Familiar hands, he looked up and was stunned.. It was Sanyukta... She pulled him towards her and hid them behind a tree...

Randhir was shocked to see Sanyukta.. He opened his mouth and say something when she immediately closed his mouth with her fist.. "Ssshhhhh...!" She signalled.. "I ll let you talk but no shouting.. Pin drop silence okay?" She warned.. Randhir who had his eyes wide open, nodded his head in a yes... She slowly released him from her grip, still maintaining the 'Sssshhh!' Position.. Randhir was running out of breathe, as soon as she released him, the first thing he did was to check if she is fine instead of breathing.. "Are you alright? Aur yeh kya tha..!" Sanyukta placed her finger on his lips.. "Ssshhh Mr. Devadas!! Kaisa laga shock treatment?" That triggered so much of anger in Randhir... He fumed "Yeh koi tarika hai games khelne ka? How dare you do this? Agar tumhe Kuch ho jaata toh!" His concern for her overpowered his anger.. Suddenly, he remembered Parth who was still on lookout for Vidushi.. He turned towards the side where Parth was screaming.. He opened his mouth to call "Pa....!" Sanyukta shut his mouth yet again.. "Ssshhh Randhir Pagal ho Gaye ho kya? This treatment was intentionally intended towards Parth.. I want him to acknowledge his love for Vidushi today.. He can't cheat himself anymore.. We need answers, actually she needs answers and she deserves one.. There can be only YES or NO in love, MAY BE is never an option.. I want him to win over his dilemma today..! Please don't spoil it..! Actually I didn't want to tell this to you even.., but I couldn't see you cry that's why told you..! Now please wait and watch.. By the way, Vidushi is totally safe.. Don't worry..!" Randhir could see the amount of concern she had for her friend Parth.. He respected her more for it.. Sanyukta leaned more to take a closer look at Parth.. Randhir got lost in her once again.. Her closeness created a tension from within.. She though didn't care about it, kept leaning more closer.. Such was the comfortable zone they were in when they were with each other.. Randhir pulled her closer by her waist, she fell on him, he tilted his head and inched closer towards her lips... She closed her eyes, he removed the hair lock from her face, pecked her lips gently.. She buried her finger on his shoulder..

They were going for a deep long kiss, just then they heard Parth weeping... They came back to reality, quickly focused on Parth.. He was down on his knees.. This time, he was genuinely crying.. "Okay Vidushi..! I lose n you win.. Yes I have no shame in accepting the fact that I love you..! I really love you.. I came all the way just for you.. Whenever you were around I mocked at you, I laughed, I teased, I did everything possible to hurt you.. But trust me, the past 6 hours without you has been the terrible moments of my life so far.. The fear of losing you has made me murder my ego.. Please Vidushi.. Please tell me you are safe.. Let me get a glimpse of you.. I promise I ll never ever hurt you again.. I have already lost my love once, and somehow I survived but this time, fear of losing you is itself killing me.. So here you go, the words you wanted to hear from me for so long.. Dekho I am confessing... Your Parth is in love, with YOU.. Yes I love You Vidushi I love you...! Are you listening? I love you...!" Parth was shouting at the top of his voice... By now Kaustuki had realized Yoyo was her true love.. They were sharing a warm hug.. Randhir and Sanyukta came out from the woods, smiling, Parth was shocked to see them all.. "Sanyukta..?" He was perplexed.. "Finally Mr Parth Kashyap has confessed his love for his lady love..! This was all we wanted Parth..! We are so happy for you!" Sanyukta spoke.. Randhir acknowledged "Even I didn't know this Parth.. It was all planned by the genius girls of FITE..!"

Parth still wasn't convinced.. "Sanyukta.. Vidushi kaha hai?" He queried..

"Don't worry Parth.. She is here..!" She called out "Vidushi..! Vidushi come out.. Game is over.. Parth has finally acknowledged his love for you..!" All their eyes shifted it's focus towards the direction where Sanyukta pointed.. There was absolutely no movement..

All they can hear was their own voices echoing "Vidushi..!" Sanyukta's face turned pale.. "Where the hell has she gone!"

Always Be Mine - Part 66

Part 66:

Parth and Randhir decided to break in as they were getting more restless by each passing moment.. Jiggy accompanied them.. They reached the Girls hostel, Yoyo was already standing at the entrance wondering how to get in.. Jiggy let out a sigh seeing Yoyo "Hamesha mere Kaustu ke aage piche ghumta rehta hai..!" Randhir instructed Jiggy and Yoyo to stand there and let them know if someone passes by... Yoyo and Jiggy gave a angry stare to each other.. "Randhir bhai! Iss dhokle ke saat hi Chodna tha kya Mujhe! Mein already worried hu Kasutuki ji ke liye and upar se yeh..!" Jiggy was about to say something but chose to keep mum coz he knew very well that it's hard to win a argument with Yoyo..

Randhir and Parth slowly made their way to the window side.. Randhir looked up, thought for a second and instructed Parth.. "Listen Parth.. This is their rooms window.. We are going to get inside their room through this window.. You don't have prior experience isliye Mein sab Kuch Samjha raha Hun.. Dhyaan se suno.. When we get in, right me Sanyukta ka bed hai aur left me Vidushi.. So you should focus on left.. Right is mine.. One important thing, see we have come to make peace with them.. So we shouldn't leave any option untouched.. Try everything possible to convince Vidushi.. Atleast u know why she is angry on you, in my case, Mujhe Pehle woh pata Karna hai..! All the best.. Now Let's climb..!" He looked at Parth, who was now widely smiling at Randhir.. "Hello? Why are you smiling? Tabiyat toh thik hai na?" Parth replied "Kya din aa Gaye hai Randhir.. Never even in my wildest dreams I imagined that I would be getting a love advice from you..!" Randhir smiled to it as well.. "Abey cut it out.. Let's focus!" He winked..

They proceed to climb the wall when suddenly Randhir spoke up "Parth..! Most important baat toh Batana hi bhul Gaya Mein..!" When Parth said "Haan Randhir bolo..!"

"See bro.. When you convince Vidushi, your eyes and ears should be completely glued to her.. You mustn't focus on what's going on the other side.. Coz as I said earlier, I will have to convince her somehow chahe uske liye Kuch b Karna pade.. I might even pretend like falling on her legs.. Just pretend okay? You should act as if you haven't heard anything..! N yeah whatever happens in the room, should be between the two of us.. Highly confidential..!" Randhir was so madly in love with Sanyukta and this statement just proved it yet again.. Parth smiled and nodded in a yes.. They slowly climbed the wall, Randhir had warned for a nail in midway, and as he said, Parth found one, and carefully placed his hand above the nail.. "This guys is so damn experienced in whatever he does.. This nail thing just proved it  how many times he might have climbed this wall..!" Parth smiled to himself.. Randhir had reached first and slowly opened the window.. He let out a hand for Parth to hold on to.. Slowly they jumped inside the room, screaming "SURPRISE...!"

No response.. And the room was completely dark.. Randhir turned on his mobile light.. He flashed it on Sanyukta's bed first.. She wasn't there.. N then on Vidushi's bed and even she wasn't there.. PaRan Exchanged a worried look.. They were tensed.. Where the hell these girls have vanished at 9 in the night.. Randhir dialed Sanyukta's number while Parth dialed Vidushi's.. As usual, long rings but no response.. Randhir threw the phone on the bed "What the hell Parth...! Where have they gone!" By this time, even Jiggy and Yoyo had joined them.. All four guys were quite tensed.. Randhir was the first one to come out of the shock.. "Jiggy trace their mobile signal and find where they are..!" He handed Sanyukta's laptop to Jiggy.. Jiggy did something pretty quick and the map showed up! It popped out with the result "This mobile is currently located in the Roorkee forest area - Woods of Roorkee"

Parth and Randhir exchanged a shocking look.. In fact, Sanyukta and kaustuki's phone got located in the same place.. Jiggy blurted "Arey iss raat ko Kaustuki jungle me kar kya rahi hai? Pagal ho gayi hai kya! Randhir bhai meine suna hai Ki woh jungle Bahut hi khatarnak hai.. Hum police ke paas chalte hai only they can help us..!" Randhir's one stare shut him down "Police ke paas jaane ke waqt nai hai Hamare paas.. Jo Karna hai humhe hi Karna padega..! Chalo Parth..!" He tapped Parth on his shoulders to bring him out of the shock...

Jiggy was too scared to follow them.. But he was left with no option as Yoyo had already joined them in their mission.. The forest was only ten mins away from their college.. They had heard a lot about it but all were dangerous stories.. Some said it's haunted when some said it has dangerous animals.. All were the stories they had been nearing so far, for the first time they were going to actually find out if it's true or not.. They parked their bikes on the road as they couldn't drive further.. Randhir Parth Jiggy and Yoyo made their way into the forest.. It was pitch dark.. Nothing was visible... Only if they bump into something they would know something was actually there.. It carried a unusual silence, that almost crept them out..  Randhir flashed the torch and showed them way to proceed.. Jiggy was continuously checking for the mobile signal.. It was fluctuating... He pointed towards a direction and said "Randhir bhai! We need to go that way, signal is pointing towards west..!" They did as instructed...

Almost half an hour of search went in vain.. The signals kept fluctuating making it more tough for them.. Randhir decided to break into groups.. "Jiggy Yoyo Tum dono us taraf jaake dekho.. Parth and myself will go this way..!" Randhir held Parth's hand and they left the place without waiting for Jiggy's response.. When he turned Yoyo was gone.. Soon he heard a noise of him screaming "Kaustuki ji Kaustuki ji kaha ho aap!" His voice portrayed his concern for her.. Jiggy joined him and held his hand "Randhir bhai ne kaha na group me jaane ko.. Why did u leave me alone there?" He was behaving like a two year old kid lost in the jungle.. Yoyo ignored him completely.. For him, it was only Kaustuki at that moment.. He didn't wanna shift his focus towards unwanted stuff, wherein Jiggy was more concerned about his life than anybody else's!

Randhir and Parth were searching all over the forest like maniacs.. Randhir was screaming "Sanyuktaaa..!" Wherein for Parth it was "Vidushiiii..!" They screamed at the top of their voices, disturbing the whole ambience of the forest totally.. They neither stopped nor got tired.. Randhir heard someone fall down.. When he focused it was Parth, he was on his knees, crying.. He immediately rushed towards Parth "Parth don't worry Kuch nai Hoga unhe.. Hum dund lenge..! Tum please fikar mat Karo.. Stop crying.. Let's focus.. Chalo uto..!" He made him stand up, till now somehow Randhir had enough courage, but after seeing Parth break down like this, it shook him up as well.. Somewhere he sensed something was going to be wrong... Just then, they heard someone scream "Parthhhhhhh....!" Followed by "Randhirrrr....!" That almost gave them both a heart attack.. "Shit..! Vidushiiii..!" Parth looked at Randhir who yelled "Sanyuktaaa..!" They rushed towards the direction from where the sound emerged...
