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?
