CHAPTER 2
The shrill sound of the alarm woke Randhir with a start. He looked at the clock which read 6 AM. It was the day of Karan's surgery. He got up as silently as he could, careful not to awake a sleeping Jiggy. Within an hour he was ready to leave for the hospital, but he had to skip breakfast. He had already taken permission from Prof Vardhan seeking leave for the day.
He came out of his hostel and proceeded towards the college gate. The sun rays were showing through the clouds. The ground of FITE was still wet from the shower the night before. And there standing near the main entrance was Sanyukta. Dressed in casuals, a sling bag sliding down her shoulder, she was rummaging through her bag for something.
"I don't remember asking u to join me Miss Agarwal", he spoke.
"Good morning Randhir", she said ignoring his jibe. She soon fished out 2 sandwiches wrapped neatly in foil and handed one to him. He cocked his brows towards her.
'Tumne breakfast nahi kiya hoga, itni subah breakfast toh hostel mein nhi milta. So i got this for the two of us...And also, here is ur coffee." So saying, she handed him his coffee.
To say he was surprised would be an understatement. He was shocked. "Sanyukta Agarwal, tum bimaar toh nhi ho? What's this? Since when do u and I share breakfast?", he questioned.
"Since ur best friend put himself in ICU. Now shut up and eat. We will be late", came her instant reply.
"Whoa, Miss engineer, wait a sec. You are not coming with me to the hospital. I am perfectly capable of going there myself. Besides Karan is my friend. U don't have to trouble urself", Randhir said disdainfully.
"Randhir, stop being such a jerk. I am coming with u whether u like it or not."
Randhir rolled his eyes. There was no arguing with Sanyukta once she set her mind to do something.
"Chalo then, we have reach by 8", he said and started walking. She followed him. They were quiet all throughout the journey. Sanyukta ocassionally chanced a glance at Randhir. But he seemed engrossed in his own train of thoughts. Once in a while she noticed him frown his brows, probably worrying about his friend's impending surgery. But if was nervous, he didn't show any sign to her.
Half an hour later they reached the hospital. Karan's parents were outside the OT. He had already been taken away for surgery. Karan's parents welcomed Randhir warmly. Sanyukta could feel Randhir's tension as he embraced Karan's mother, muttering words of solace to her. For the first time Sanyukta felt like an outsider. The Randhir she knew was cold, proud and seldom let his feelings out. But here, admist these people, he was much more open...She couldn't help wonder whether she knew the real Randhir at all.
"Kaha kho gayi hain Miss?"
His voice broke her out of her trance. She realized that she had been staring at him and Karan's parents for god knows how long.
Randhir smirked. "Everything ok, Miss Agarwal? Operation theatre se dar toh nhi lag raha tumhe?"
"Oh please Randhir...Tum apna silly jokes crack karna kab bandh karoge?", she retorted.
"Anyway, doctors have said that it will take atleast 5 hours to complete the surgery. Tab tak main yahan uncle-aunty ke sath ruk jaunga. U should take a ride back to college. Yahan wait karne ka kya faida?" Randhir told her.
"Arey it's ok. I will wait. Ek sath jayenge." Sanyukta replied.
"As u wish", saying so Randhir turned around and walked back towards Karan's parents.
Sanyukta followed him.
"Beta yeh kaun hain?" asked Karan's mom.
"Aunty she is Sanyukta, my classmate. Sanyukta, this is Karan's mom", Randhir introduced.
"Namaste aunty", spoke SAnyukta.
"Namaste beta, it is so nice of u to come", spoke Karan's mom.
"It's ok aunty. It's the least I could do", replied Sanyukta.
They were interrupted by another gang of boys who had just appeared. One of them saw Randhir and called out, "Arey Randhir!! Kaisa hain yaar?"
"Arey Adi!! Tu? Yahan?" a surprised Randhir exclaimed.
And to Sanyukta's disbelief, Randhir was soon surrounded by what seemed like his childhood gang. She noticed how his eyes lit up at the mere sight of his friends. The smile on his face was infectious. He seemed to be in a different dimension altogether. Sanyukta had never seen Randhir so cheerful. He totally forgot that she was there and somewhere deep down it hurt her. She realized that the Randhir she knew from FITE was a poor shadow of his original self. She wondered why he was always so rude when in college. She thought of all the quarrels, all the times he made her feel inferior. And then she noticed this Randhir who was now laughing his heart out at some joke that his friend had cracked.
Sanyukta realized her presence wasn't needed any longer. She silently walked away from there, hoping to find some coffee in the hospital cafeteria.
-CAFETERIA-
She had been sitting in the cafeteria since the last 45 minutes. She was bored and decided to buy a burger. She didn't know what made her accompany him today to the hospital. No, deep down she knew why. She wanted to give him company. She knew it would be a long surgery and that he would feel lonely and tensed. That is why she came with him.
But...why was she feeling sad? Isn't it nice that randhir has some friends whom he genuinely cares about? A small voice inside her head sopke, "Yes it is nice to know that he isn't all cold and heartless. But i wish he would open up a bit more to me as well."
And then another voice inside her spoke, "Sanyukta, pagal toh nhi ho gayi tu? Randhir and confide in u? Are u nuts? Yeh apne fantasies apne paas hi rakh. He doesn't give a shit about u. And haven't u noticed? Those friends of his are all guys. Randhir hates girls. Thank the lords that he has atleast stopped hating u!!"
"Itna burger khaogi toh aur bhi moti ho jaogi", his comment jerked her back to reality. She looked up to find an amused randhir looking at her intently, "Meditation kar rahi ho?" he joked.
"Uff yaar, ho gya tumhara bakwas?" she responded, "Why are u here anyway? Weren't u all smiles with ur friends?" she bit out a bit more harshly than she had intened.
"Ouch! Jealous sanyukta? Were u missing me?" he continued to tease her.
"Missing my foot", she stood up in a huff and was about to leave when he caught her by the hand and pulled her so that she bumped right into him, their faces inches apart. She turned red. The proximity was giving her an adrenaline rush. She could feel his heartbeat, she could feel his hot breathe, she looked up and all she could focus on was his lips- pink, strangely pink for a guy. His lips looked soft and she had a sudden urge to kiss him.
He brought his mouth close to her ears and murmured in the softest of whispers, "Apna burger toh khatam karte jao."
And he released her, a smirk on his lips, "Khana khatam ho jaye toh upar aa jana, i will be with my friends." And he walked away leaving her rooted to the spot, her mind blank, her heart racing and her face resembling a ripe tomato!
-5 hours later-
Randhir was pacing before the OT. His friends sat together in the lobby, their faces betraying their nervousness. Karan's parents looked the most tensed.
Just then the door to the OT flung open and the head surgeon came out.
"His surgery was a success, although due to the extent of the damage, recovery will take time", the surgeon said shortly and left.
Sanyukta heaved a sigh of relief. But nothing could beat the look of relief on Randhir's face. She marvelled at how much he actually cared about his friend. Sanyukta stood at one corner watching Karan's family, randhir and his friends rejoice at the news of Karan's successful surgery and it gave her a sense of joy, a feel of home. And she smiled.
-An hour later-
Karan had been kept under observation in the ICU post-op. He still hadn't regained his senses. Doctors said that it would take time before he became conscious.
Randhir and Sanyukta bade goodbye to Karan's family and friends. It had been a long day and they had to return to their college by evening. Both of them were extremely tired.
"Randhir", said Sanyukta.
"Hmm...bolo", came his reply.
They were walking towards the bus stop, on their way to catch a bus to FITE.
"Ur friends...they from ur school?" she enquired.
"Yeah...we were from the same batch...DPS, Noida, Why the sudden curiosity?"
"Nhi bas aise hi...Thank God Karan made it...'m so glad", Sanyukta spoke.
"yeah", came Randhir's voice almost in a whisper, " I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't"
And just like the day before, Sanyukta could feel Randhir's pain, his misery and his loneliness.
"Kuch khatein hain kya?" she asked to divert his mind. They were both hungry and went to a nearby resturant. Sanyukta ordered Dosa while Randhir settled for a vegie-shake.
As she sat eating her dosa, she found Randhir lost in his thoughts, a grim look on his face. She recalled the events from the day...his smile, his laughter...he was a different person around his friends than he was now. And before she could stop her silly mouth from blabbering, she spoke, "U aren't gay, are u?"
And even to her own ears, those words sounded hilarious.
Randhir choked on his shake, "What the...WHAT? Are u nuts Sanyukta?"
Sanyukta couldn't contain her laughter. Randhir was looking at her like she had totally lost it...and then slowly his face broke into a smile as well.
"Tumhe na ek psychiatrist ki zarurat hain", he said smiling.
She laughed even harder and Randhir couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful she looked.
They finished their food and boarded a bus back to college.
-COLLEGE-
It was 4pm in the afternoon when they reached FITE. Both of them were spent from the day's toil.
"Sanyukta, thank u", Randhir said genuinely.
"Chalo, someone has decided to shed his ego for just this once...u r most welcome Randhir", she replied smiling and then added, "I want to accompany u when u go to visit him tomorrow as well. Ok?"
He gave her a long searching look at those words and finally nodded in response.
"Bye", he said. And he walked away.
And Sanyukta watched his retreating figure and wondered if she would ever get to know the Randhir Singh Shekhawat that she had witnessed today in the hospital.
