CHAPTER : 10

"What do u do when the person u trust, becomes a traitor?"

----*----

There can be only two possibilities when u get into bed at night with a broken heart and a tensed mind...U either remain wide awake or u sleep like u are dead to the world. For Sanyukta it was the second!

She had gone into bed with Karan's words of sneer teasing her ears...She could visualize Randhir's heartbreak when he would finally learn the truth...And worst of all, she would have to be the one to tell him about it! And with these predicaments nibbling away at her mind, she drifted off to a state of deep slumber.

When she finally opened her eyes, the clock showed 10 AM.

"Shit yaar" she said yawning, "I over-slept yet again..."

It was then that the events that occured the night before came back to her.

"bas***d", she muttered through gritted teeth and climbed out of the bed. She showered and got dressed, all-the-while preparing a speech mentally on how she would break the news to Randhir. Just the thought of it made her lips go dry. A part of her was scared that he would go ballistic again, while the other part simply ached in agony at the thought of his heartbreak.

She finally made her way to the lab, where she expected him to be.

"Should I tell him right away? No. Maybe first I will ask him to figure out how we are going to complete our project. Once that is settled, then I will break the news subtly..." she thought to herself.

On reaching the lab, she was surprised to find it locked and a guard sitting outside.

She appraoched the guard and asked, "Bhaiya, yeh lock kyun hain? Mujhe apna project karna hain..."

The guard looked up at her and replied, "Aap Sanyukta Agarwal ho na? Mechanical department ki Sanyukta? Yeh rahi room ki chabi...andar ka kaam ho jaye, toh mujhe wapas de dena. Randhir ne kahan hain isey humesha lock rakhne ke liye..."

Sanyukta nodded and took the keys.

"So he was already here...And i missed him. Wonder where he has gone to...and what's with the lock? Andar jaakar dekhti hun..." she thought and made her way inside.

The sight that met her inside made her gasp!

"Whoaaa...Oh my god...what's this?" she whispered.

On the table stood the most intricate and advanced project she had ever seen in her life. It was a model of what looked like a 'city'. She edged closer and took a good look at it. Sanyukta realized that it was a 'perfect construction' of what a 21st century city should be like in terms of traffic control, drainage system and a conglomeration of tall buildings and natural plantations. There were fly-overs, office buildings, hospitals, green-parks, schools, demo cars and buses...all flawlessly replicated and incorporated in the project.

And it was then that her eyes fell on the placard that stood against it. It read "Model of an ideal city - By Sanyukta Agarwal & Randhir Singh Shekhawat, 2nd year Mechanical Engineering, FITE Roorke."

Just adjacent to the placard lay a note, handwritten. It was adressed to her.

She picked it up, hands trembling and began to read...

"Sanyukta,

I went to meet Parth despite u asking me not to. And guess what? U were right. Or rather, i was right. We both were.

U were right when u said that no good would come out of confronting him. And I was right when I said that he ruined our project.

When I faced him, he denied any involvement in the act, just like I had presumed. But what's worse is that he and his institute have raised an official complaint against me stating that I have stolen his project.

That's when I realized that I couldn't just sit back and let him take the upper hand. When i told u that Parth didn't realize whom he had challenged, i didn't just mean that I would confront him and settle the matter. What I really meant was what u are now seeing before u...

Randhir Singh Shekhawat has much more to him than what meets the eye. And yes, he can go to any lengths to win. And the project before u is proof of that. This is the lenght that i was willing to go to in order for us to win. And I would like to see anyone...ANYONE topple this.

There was no way I was going to disappoint Vardhan sir. We will give him this and we will emerge as winners! FITE all the way, remember?

I know i should have involved u as u are my assigned partner. But just this once I had to work alone. And i hope u understand why.

- Randhir.

PS: Please return the key to watchman dada once u are done checking out our new project and cursing me for working alone. It's for security purpose so that this time no one can get a hold of our work!"

~0~

She was shaking violently now and sobbing uncontrollably. He had stayed up all night to create this piece of marvel. He had done it for himself, for her, for FITE and for Prof Vardhan. She stood there wondering at all the different shades of Randhir's character. This act was a potrayal of his pride, a display of his competence, his urge to prove himself and his devotion towards his work!

And she thought, "How on Earth am I now going to tell him that it wasn't Parth?"

~0~

"Jiggy...Randhir kahan hain? Why isn't he answering my calls?" a hysterical Sanyukta spoke over the phone.

"Arey Sanyukta, Randhir bhai so rahe hain...He came into the hostel this morning at around 5:30...Ptaa nhi kal purey raat kaha the..." Jiggy replied.

"Sun, mujhe usse milna hain...ABHI...Please wake him up.." Sanyukta pleaded.

"Sanyukta, he will be angry if I wake him...I m scared.."

"Jiggy please...it's urgent..."

"Ok Ok..wait...I will try..."

"Accha thanks. Ask him to meet me in the canteen and tell him it's very important.."

"Relax sanyukta, I will.."

And both of them hung up.

-Dean's office-

The Dean and Vardhan sir were just discussing about the fest and FITE's preparations for the same when Parth accompanied by his teacher entered the cabin.

"Good Morning Mr. Dean" Said the RCE prof.

The dean returned the greeting and asked what brought them to his office.

It was Parth who replied.

"With all due respect sir, I am here to lodge a complaint. 2 days back i was working on my project in the hall and had to leave the same for a few moments. When I returned I found it was missing. Someone stole it. That's the only possible explanation that fits. And a day earlier I had a conversation with Randhir Shekhawat of ur college, who almost threatened me when i told him that i could beat him in this fest. Sir, my hunch is he stole my project..."

Before Parth could continue any further, the dean intterupted, "Wait a moment...are u accusing the brightest student of my institute of treachery? Do u have any idea how grave ur accusitions are?"

"Sir, i am positive of it" Parth replied.

The teacher from RCE added, "Look Mr. Dean, i thought this was supposed to be a fair contest. But clearly I was mistaken and I want justice for my student. I want this Randhir guy disqualified and his project confiscated immediately. Or else, i shall be forced to go out into the media with this...Ur reputation is at stake here..."

All this time that the conversation unfolded before him, Prof Vardhan had sat silent. But finally he couldn't hold it any longer and spoke up, "It is very easy to barge into someone's office with accusations based on assumption. Do u have any proof regarding the same?"

"Sir, i don't" replied Parth, "But i m sure.."

"TO HELL WITH UR SURITY" bellowed Vardhan. He knew Randhir wasn't capable of such cheap antics.

"Tell me what was ur project about?" He asked.

A nervous Parth replied, "Artificial water-provision for development of irrigation facilities."

And the truth dawned on Prof vardhan.

"Vidushi...I knew something was fishy..." he muttered and added, "Interesting, very interesting. Parth, is it? Well Parth, ur project wasn't stolen by randhir. But yes, I feel ashamed to say that a student of my institute did it...And she will be punished accordinly...Trust me..."

The dean, Parth and the RCE prof were all bewildered.

"Who stole it? " they asked in unison.

"Vidushi Kumar", came the reply.

-CANTEEN-

Sanyukta sat in one corner of a relatively vacant canteen, her hands folded, lips dry and she felt like she would throw up any second.

She sneaked a peek ahead and saw him approaching. Clad in a white shirt and navy-blue denims,his hair all 'morning-messy', he looked picture perfect.

"Stop admiring his looks and focus sanyukta..." she rebuked herself.

"U asked to see me?" he spoke, his voice suddenly sending chills down her.

"Umm..hi randhir...uhh..sit down..." she mumbled.

And he sat without saying anything else but giving her curious looks.

She braced herself, took a deep breathe and faced him.

"Umm...I...I saw it..t-the p-project...It was amazing Randh-ir..." and she couldn't go on any further. The tears she had tried so hard to control, escaped.

"Sanyukta...what...why are u crying?" he asked, now clearly taken aback.

She answered in between sobs, "It wasn't Parth randhir...It was..K-Karan...He destroyed our project..."

She saw the look on his face. One moment it was filled with concern for her, the next moment the 'Randhir Shekhawat mask' appeared. His face hardened and when he spoke, his voice gave her chills, "How do u know?"

"He told me...He did it for revenge...to get back at me for coming in between two best friends..."

As Sanyukta went on, she could see his face fall. His eyes reflected his hurt. But his face, it remained blank. And that scared the shit out of her. He wasn't reacting. Why wasn't he reacting?

"I...i had showed him our project. He had asked to see...I had trusted him...I am so sorry randhir...so sorry..." Sanyukta spoke, her voice breaking with each word.

Randhir just kept looking at the table. He sat still and hadn't uttered a word.

"Kuch bolo randhir...Please..." sanyukta whispered so that he could barely hear her, "I know u are hurt...Look at me..."

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke, "I am not hurt sanyukta...He hasn't hurt me...He has killed whatever sanity was left in me today..."

And with that, he got up and walked out of the canteen. Sanyukta didn't follow him. His words had punctured deep into her mind and heart. She knew that even she couldn't console him at that moment. But she also knew that if randhir had many shades in him, then so did she.

She stood up, wiped her tears and made a promise, "U think he was ur only friend. U are wrong. U may not realize it, but u have me. U will always have me. And Karan won't get away with this. He will come begging for forgivenes, that's my promise Randhir. U are not alone. U never were, since the day u stepped into FITE."
