Sanyukta's heart skipped a beat, seeing her Randhir lying unconscious on the floor.. His lips were dry and forehead was sweating.. Almost everyone in the room gathered around Randhir.. Parth rushed to bring water.. Sanyukta patted his cheeks "Randhir... Randhir.. Kya hua tumhe?" tears flew down her cheeks and reached his's.. Still he was lying like a lifeless soul, that scared Sanyukta to death.. Parth splashed water on Randhir's face that instantly brought him back to life.. Randhir coughed wildly, while trying to open his eyes slowly.. Sanyukta's lips widened in smile while her eyes continued to shed tears.. The moment he opened his eyes, he whispered "Sanyukta.. Ro kyu rahi ho? Sab thik hai na?" she pulled him close and hugged him tight.. This guy never stopped caring about her, even while being unconscious himself.. "Randhir I almost died when I saw you unconscious.. You are okay na? Please dont scare me like this ever.. If you do, trust me, I ll kill you myself.." she said in a hurry.. He sat properly and cupped her face with his hand.. "Arey meine subah se kuch nai khaya.. Shayad isliye chakkar aa gaya hoga.. Waise Tumhe kya laga? I ll leave you midway and die? I have vowed to spend 7 janam with you.. Aise kaise chala jaunga tumhe chodke jaan?" the way he asked her that, forced her to kiss him.. She kissed his cheeks. "Kabhi mat jaana aur kahi mat jaana Randhir.."
"Kabhi nai.. Happy Valentines Day Sanyukta.." he kissed her back.. "More than happy to have a Valentine like you Randhir.." she blushed.. The FITE crowd, who were witnessing this scene, were left speechless. Every other girl in the crowd wished to get a husband like Randhir and every other guy in the crowd wished to get a wife like Sanyukta.. They were too perfect for each other, made and mad for each other.. No force in this world can drift them apart.. Parth tightened his hand grip with Vidushi while she laid her head on his shoulders.. "Happy Valentines day Parth.." he smiled "Happy Valentines Day my chudail princess" she hit him on his stomach lovingly, he pulled her close and hugged her warmly..
Love had occupied the whole atmosphere.. Air was filled with love, a bit more than oxygen.. Avantika looked at Prof. Vardhan "I wish I could tell you how much I love you right now.. Why should I even tell you? You already know it dont you?" her eyes questioned him.. "Yeah I know Avanti. Its just that, we are not meant to be.. I can never let anyone else enter my life.. No matter how many times you ask me, my answer will still be a firm No" he replied silently.. "If aren't meant to be, then who else Vardhan? I will make you fall in love, once again. I will make you live in your present rather than let you struck in the past.. Its a promise..." she smiled.. "Lets see..!" was all he could say.. The unusual silence between them did not go unnoticed.. Sandhir and Vidarth had an eye on Vartika.. Randhir signalled Parth, while he nodded in a yes.. Sandhir invited Vardhan and Avantika to share the toast with them.. That evening, was a bliss.. Sanyukta held Randhir's hand, all through the evening.. She didnt let him get out of her sight, even for a second.. They looked stunning together, like the Prince and Cindrella in the Cindrella story..
That night, Randhir walked her way up to the Girls hostel, without a word being spoken.. Their close proximity was more than enough, words weren't needed.. She still held his hands, firmly.. "Sanyukta.. Guess what?" Randhir initiated the convo.. "Hmm kya?" she said without looking up at Randhir..
"We are looking like a perfect couple for an AD company.. Guess which brand?" Randhir asked, his expressions were quite serious.. Sanyukta thought for a while "AD company? Which one Randhir?"
"Are we not looking like the perfect couple for the Fewi Kwik AD? The way, we are glued to each other right now suits the tagline " Chutki mein chipkaye!" nai? " he smiled, that brought a wide smile in her lips.. "Randhir.. Cant you be serious for a change?" Sanyukta faked anger.
Randhir's expression changed.. "Sorry Sanyukta.." Before Sanyukta could tell him that she was just kidding, he asked her this "Let me ask you a very serious question.. When do you think Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata hai end? Will it ever end?" he asked her, keeping his face rigid.. Sanyukta pulled his cheeks, "Kuch nai ho sakta tumhara.." Finally, Randhir managed to make her smile.. They reached her hostel, she turned to leave..
Randhir stood there smiling at her.. "Sanyukta" he called out.. When she turned, he rushed into her arms.. "Randhir all okay?"she asked, out of concern.. The moment she asked, he backed out.. "Yeah of course.. All should be okay.. Good night.." he kissed her forehead, but a lone tear fell on her cheek.. Sanyukta wiped it and looked at Randhir whose eyes were now watery.. "Randhir.. " she proceeded towards him.. He backed out, she went near and he pulled himself away from her.. The more she tried to touch him, the more he vanished into the dark. Her hands couldn't touch him.. He intentionally pulled himself away from her.. She ran upto him for a hug but stumbled and fell down in the dark.. There wasn't anyone.. She was surrounded by darkness.."Randhirrr..!" she screamed, only to hear her echo back.. "Sanyukta Sanyukta.. You okay?" someone patted her back.. It was Vidushi.. Sanyukta checked the clock, it struck 12.. "Was I dreaming?" she wondered.. Randhir walked her way back to the hostel and left her bidding a good bye kiss but all that she saw after that was a dream.. Vidushi was concerned "Tum thik ho na? Koi bad dream tha kya??" Sanyukta nodded.. "It was not a dream, it was a nightmare.."
Vidushi helped her to lie down and turned off the lights.. "I ll be right here Sanyu.. If you need any help, just call me okay?" she went back to her bed.. Sanyukta kept shuffling in her bed, sleep was like a distant dream.. No way, she could put her eyes back to rest.. She grabbed her phone and dialled his number.. "98734.." "No, he must be sleeping.. I shouldn't disturb him.." she decided otherwise.. Clock struck 1 AM, Sanyukta could now hear a slight snore, emerging from Vidushi's bed, thus announcing the fact that Vidushi was now asleep.. Sanyukta slid down from her bed, without creating even slightest of the noise.. Sanyukta slowly opened the door, and locked it from outside.. She found the security guard asleep, outside the boys hostel.. She sneaked in slowly, and reached Randhir's room.. His bed was visible from the door.. The table lights above his bed, were on, thus making it easy for her to catch his glimpse.. She placed her hand, on the door, thus virtually touching his face.. "Thank God.. You are okay.. That was just a stupid dream.. I know you wouldn't leave me.. You will never leave me.. Love you Randhir.. Sleep peacefully my baby.. Good night" she kissed her hand that touched his face and left the place with a smile..
At 2 AM, Randhir was panting for breath, he woke up and sat on the bed, sweating hard.. He gulped the water in a go, still his head was bursting in pain.. His hands, searched for his bike keys on the table.. Once he got hold of them, he rushed out.. Parth and Jiggy were fast asleep.. Randhir kick started his bike and drove into the dark..
