Part 10
Love, it's a crazy thing. It makes you do things that you never thought you would do, otherwise - Kriti (me)
RANDHIR'S P.O.V.
What do you do when you fall in love with your enemy?
Wasn't I her enemy? Is she in love with me? Is that even possible? Have I even read it correctly?
I read it, again. Unfortunately, the words didn't change, no matter how much I wanted them to. I kept reading them again and again in a pointless wish that they would change. It was an insane wish, I knew, but at that moment, nothing felt sane. The world around me was spinning and I was there, standing, wishing that someone will take me out of this bad dream.
Still, I couldn't ignore the beats my heart was skipping and the phone that was vibrating in my pocket. I stared at the screen. It was Parth. I sighed, recollected myself and picked up the call.
"Gosh Randhir, what's taking you so long? I tried my best, but they have left for the room. Get out of there, ASAP" he sounded, tensed.
"Fine, meet me in our room" I said as I picked my bag from her bed and hopped out.

Parth was already sitting on my bed, as I entered the room, playing games on his mobile. I came and sat on the chair by my study table, silently. He didn't acknowledge my presence for a while.
"When did you come? Anyways, Randhir, I was thinking, Sanyukta has some issues with a guy named Sameer. You know, in the village she made me lie... Randhir, are you even listening?" he spoke. I realized; he was waiting for me to reply. I picked up my bag, took out the dairy and showed it to him.
"I found this" I said, without meeting his eyes. I realised, I had water in my eyes, tears, which threatened to escape.
"Whoa! This looks like a personal dairy, bro! Are you sure we should see it?" he asked, turning the dairy, upside down, in his hands.
"I already read it" I managed to say, still staring at the floor.
"Randhir, are you okay?" his worried words did it. A traitor tear, escaped and ran down my cheek. I wasn't used to care and love.
"She loves me, Parth" I, barely, whispered.
For a minute, no one knew what to say. I let the tears run down, now. I was cursing myself, mentally while this silence killed me. I couldn't take it, anymore.
"I... she... Parth... Oh my God! I hate myself! I know why I never got love, I don't deserve it. That girl, right there, loved me. And what did I do? I made it sure that her life was living hell! I insulted her, whenever I could. I fixed her marriage, knowing how much she wanted to do mechanical engineering. I'm responsible for her condition Parth. I pushed her into depression!" I cried aloud, hiding my face in my hands, ashamed of myself.
"Do you love her?" Parth hadn't interrupted me, so his calm reply shocked me. I stared at him.
"No, I don't. I have told you, I don't believe in love" I said, doubting my unbelief for the first time.
"Then, there is nothing much you can do about it Randhir. You can't govern someone's feelings and moreover, everything you did, you did it unknowingly. You didn't know her feelings. So, stop blaming yourself. Now, go and wash your face. Jiggy will be here, any moment. We don't want unnecessary explanations, do we?" he said, calmly.
I got up and walked towards the door. I didn't agree with him. There are things I've to change, mistakes I've to undo. But, right now, I needed to compose myself, back. Randhir Singh Shekhawat neither cries, nor ever gives up.

I came back to see Parth and Jiggy glued to Jiggy's laptop screen. They were watching a movie. I said nothing and went towards my bed.
"Are, Randhir Bhai, its Sunday tomorrow. You don't need to sleep to wake up early, anyways, its just 5 in the evening. Come and watch this movie with us, no. It'll be fun. See, we have put on a movie, it's funny. You'll enjoy" Jiggy called out to me.
"No, Jiggy, I'm not in the mood" I said.
"Come na Randhir, it's funny. Your mood will change. Come on" Parth said, while Jiggy nodded in agreement.
"Fine" I sighed.
PARTH'S P.O.V.
We were watching the movie and suddenly Randhir jumped from the bed. He ran around the bed to give Jiggy a tight hug.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" he chanted "Parth, come with me"
Confused would be an understatement. Just moments ago I had seen him crying and now he was jumping up and down. I nearly believed that Randhir was a mental patient.
"Move, will you?!" he said, irritated.
I sighed and followed him outside the room leaving a confused Jiggy on bed.

I came out in the ground. I knew Sanyukta comes here for evening walks. We have walked together, many times. I approached her as soon I spotted her walking.
"Sanyukta!" I called out.
"Hey!" she smiled at me.
"You have your phone? Actually mom texted me to call her but I'm low on balance. So, I'll just text her, using your phone, that I'll call her tomorrow" I said in one breath.
"Ha-ha! Why do you explain so much? Of course, here" she laughed and handed me her phone. I waited for her to start walking again. As soon as she did, I checked her contacts. I clicked the one reading "Sameer". I took out my phone and texted his number to Randhir.
"God knows what's going on, in his mind, now" I muttered as I ran towards Sanyukta, to return her phone.
