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... 😛
