Chapter 1
Sandhir OS : Companions For Life
'Tiring day'.
He made his way to his cupboard and took out his night suit.
As he turned to walk out, the ringing of his phone stopped him.
'Ting-Ding-Ting-Ding'. He reached for his phone and picked up the call which read farzi'. A smile approached his lips as he answered - "Calling ME so late?What happened? Stuck up in yet another problem Ms. Engineer?''
"No-No, i just called up to tell you how hot you looked in that red shirt you wore today'' She shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
He chuckled at her response and sat down on his bed, his back resting at the wall.
'Waise, I AM in a problem'' she continued after a pause.
'As expected''
'Shut up''
'Where do I come now?''
'Library''
'Library? You don't get any other place right, do you?''
'Just come na, you dog''
She said as she hung up the call.
Okay' he said while she had already cut the call.
He entered the college building still smiling.
It had been two months. TWO WHOLE MONTHS.
Two months since their friendship started.Two months wherein they fighted, but which ended in cheerful laughter and strengthening of their unconditional bond. THEIR bond.
Sanyukta now spent so much time with her new bestie that she could have never imagined. It was a bit awkward in the beginning , their friendship, many assumed , would not last long.
But, when you share your problems, insecurities,mistakes,wishes and dreams with someone, it's not that easy to go away from them.
Randhir never knew he could get so much peace being with sanyukta. He had never thought she would understand him so well, in such less time.
Even she had started to trust him completely. She would rely on him for the most minute things. Sanyukta could call him up any time of the day,rightfully. Just like she did now. Their bond and relationship was beyond words.
These two, the best students of F.I.T.E had even played pranks on others, together. They were the best team. Because they were together.
He found the library locked upon reaching there.He checked the time: 10:45 PM.
"The library gets locked up at 10:30. What is this gal upto?"
" SANYUKTA, Tu yaha hai? Dekh i don't have time to waste. MAIN JAA RAHA HU" he spoke in a monotonous tone.
"Are ruk! Vaise bhi, bada jaldi aa gaya"
Came her voice.
But wait. He couldn't see her . Where was she?
"Are you here? Locked up in the Library?" he banged on the door after he spoke.
" No Mr. Genius, meri aatma bol rahi thi. Huh."
"Tujhe koi aur jagah nahi milti kya? Always library."
"Will you stop your Mahabharata? Khade khade mera muh kya taak raha hai? Kuchh kar. Get me out of this yaar" This was more an order, less a plea.
"First of all, I cant even see you, toh tere chehre ko taaku kaha se? And what can i do?"
"Are, You are Randhir Singh Shekhawat.Tu nahi nikalega toh fir kaun?
"Dont you remember, all the peons have gone with Dean Sir as side help for some stuff."
"Toh?"
"Toh madam, The door will open now only when the librarian will open it, that is, in the morning.
She'll be off to sleep now. Its already 10:50."
He stated.
"Oh hello, this excuses giving thing is MY part. YOU are the one who is supposed to find solutions" Her voice came through the door.
He could not see her, but he could guess her expression at that time. An accusing-yet-cute-pout'. Her expressions! He grinned with this thought.
Soon came the reply " No. YOU are the one who finds the ideas and I'm simply execute them.Apni jaan pyaari hai toh kuchh soch farzi."
"Hm.. wait."
---------------------------------------She called him after 5 minutes while randhir passed his time by playing on his phone.
"Randhir, Randhir.." she waited for his reply.
"RANDHIR" she shouted.
"Itna gala kyu faad rahi hai?" he said in a casual tone.
"Are you deaf? I'm calling you from so long? Cant you leave that phone of yours for some time?"
How well she knew him.
"Achha theek hai na. Sun raha hu na abhi. Kuchh socha?" He said as he put back his phone in the pocket.
"Haan"
"Bol"
"There's this window out here which opens from outside."
"Opens form outside? Are you sure?"
"Yep. Completely. I know. And let me finish first. So you go and open the window from outside and we'll come out from there."
"What?"
"What do you mean by what?'vaise bhi yeh koi 1st-2nd floor par toh hai nahi. Its just a bit above the ground.You CAN come up there, cant you?"
"But"
"Shut up and go" she ordered as she went back and took a chair.
"GO" she shouted one last time.
"Where does she get these ideas from?" he spoke as he looked up to the window.
It was not too high, but dude, neither too down also. He climbed up and securing his position on a pipe opened the window. Sanyukta rushed there on hearing the screeching sound.She knew it was him.
"Aah- finally" she said.
"Haashh.. Things you have to do when you make such friends" he taunted while rubbing the dust off his hands.
"What do you mean by such friends' ? care to elaborate?
"Sanyukta, every single day you end up in some sort of trouble. And out of all the people, I am the lucky one whom you call up every time." He complained faking annoyance.
Her face turned into a perfect O shape.
"Oh seriously? Okie then,I won't ever call you up for ANYTHING"
THUMP' she closed the window hard showing her anger.
" yeh toh serious ho gayi" He thought as she moved past him and sat down. He too took a seat beside her.
"Ahem.. Ahem.." he coughed deliberately to a start a conversation.
"soo.." he stopped when she shot back a deadly glare at him.
"Tune mujhe itni raat ko time waste karne ke liye bulaya?"
She turned away, her back facing him.
"Are I opened the window na.. lets go back. Fir theek se jhagda kar liyo. Its too hot in here"
Not getting any response, he continued..
"Achha sorry.. I was just joking.Comeon talk to me now"
She turned to face him and he immediately held his ears,making a puppy face and mouthing a sorry'. She too smiled and getting back to her cheerful self replied -" Ok theek hai. Maaf kiya. FIRSE. Let's go now. I can't stand this place anymore." They both got up to leave.
"KYA HUA?"
She asked him once again while he struggled to pull the window. But alas! The window was not opening, no matter how hard he tried. He had been trying for the last 2-3 minutes and not getting any response from him irked sanyukta.
"Ruk, main dekhti hu" she tried to pull it, but all in vain.
"Yeh toh khul hee nahi raha MCP"
"Wah, badi jaldi samajh aa gaya tujhe."
"But randhir, why isn't it opening?" she asked, a bit innocently, maybe because she realised it was her fault.
"Because, you see, your closing that window with that force, has resulted in the window getting jammed. Ab nahi khulne wala yeh.Shaanti se baith jaa ab tu yahan."
"Hm.." She took a seat beside him, disappointed.
1 whole minute passed in silence. But can these two be together and not talk? This can never happen.
"Vaise farzi, tu ek baat bata"
"Hmm..."
"Kya main sach mein... uss red shirt mein hot lag raha tha?" he asked in a matter-of-fact' tone while both cracked up laughing.
"Tu sudhrega nahi. Hat" She hit him playfully on his arm as they continued laughing.
More talking, more chit-chatting and more happiness. They both completed each other.Love was yet not in the air.But they would,someday, definitely,fall in love. Because they knew one thing, they were each other's companions for life.
