Chapter 5

"Randhir..."

One look at his face and it seemed as if time had stopped. Just as those Romantic bollywood movies where in when the hero -heroine share an eye lock the world around them seems to not exist anymore .It felt as if the surroundings did not matter anymore. She felt her eyes welling up as a flashback of their past life's began replaying itself in her head. She smiled her radiant smile . the same one which made his heart beat at a thousand times per minute. She swiftly got up to hug him. She soon engulfed him in her arms and slowly whispered in his ears..

" OMG Randhir , I'm speechless I dunno how to react right now . You know what everything has changed ever since that dreadful day years back but you know one thing that did'nt change is the way I used to feel when I hugged you. Well , I came to know about Renuka Ma'am ...I'm really sorry Randhir. How did it happen ...She was still so young ..I mean ..."

Randhir stood there , with a stoic expressionless face. He was confused, what should he do? One part of him asked him to push her away and shout and scream on her and question her where was she all this time when he needed her? Was their love so shallow that she moved on and married someone else and also give birth to another man's child? Was she so ruthless?

But the other part of him still loved her...He was craving and yearning for the warmth of her embrace , her touch and her fragnance. He looked at her she was dressed just as the way he liked her too. Just as how a beautiful girl like her should. She was wearing blue and he loved her in that colour. He wanted her and needed her ... He raised his arms to hug her back when suddenly a thought crossed his mind .." No randhir, you should not let her play with your heart again and let her toss you away like trash just as she did years back . Also withstanding the fact that she belonged to another man...

His raised arms crept up to her arms which were wrapped around his neck. He released them and looked into her eyes.

She was shocked, was it too late? To make amends ? Did he belong to someone else now?

He moved past her and occupied his seat. She sat down beside him , confused as to what she should say? She fell short of words . She slowly touched his shoulder .

She wanted to talk to him , she knew that he was just pretending to be strong . She had to be by his side.

" Randhir, please just listen to me once. I Know you have many questions and I will answer all of them . I know I am answerable to you. Please just once Look at me."

No response. She was determined to get him back .to make him understand her POV. To make him believe that she still just loved him as much as she did before. She tried once again.

" Randhir, baby I know you are upset with me badly, but please try to understand . I had my own reasons hence I decided to move out . Please listen to me please."

No response.

" Randhir , please don't do this with me. Give me one chance and I'll make sure nothing goes wrong again. We will be together till the end comes. Please Look at me once . baby, I love you . I love you very,very much."

I love you . I love you very,very much."

He was stunned to hear those words so many years later. All these years his ears had craved to hear her voice let alone these words. He did not look back at her. He simply closed his eyes as a memory rushed back to him. That of their confession. That day of his life which made him feel complete.

*FLASHBACK*

Vardhan sir had taken them to village for the dream team contest. After days of fighting , abusing and insulting the other person's project It was their last night there. With Sanyukta s semi finished Chimney and Randhir's Cycle plough which was at a very intial stage, FITE stood no chance to win against CIT college which had already completed their generator.

Parth had invited them for a party. Everything seemed fine until Kabir's entry. He made a scene there and rebuked Parth. He went to insult FITE, when Randhir started to argue only to stopped by Vardhan Sir who asked both the teams to leave so that he could a one on one with Kabir.

As everyone started to move, Sanyukta and Randhir came back walking very slowly. Their loud screams audible to them.

" Haan , meri vajah se niharika aaj hum sabh ke beech nahi hai. Meri galti hai ye sab."

As Sanyukta and Randhir returned to where their team mates were already Standing, Sanyukta motivated them to work as a rock solid team and to beat the hell out of CIT.

Everyone agreed and they set to work. They worked for three hours when Randhir asked everyone to leave as they were tired and that he will do the rest of the project by himself. Sanyukta being sanyukta decided to stay back and help Randhir with the two projects.

They were working on her chimney when Randhir decided to break the silence,

" Hey , you Agarwal...back off . This is a man's job to do. This chimney will be of your use only whne it will be installed in a kitchen."

" OMG.. and I thought that maybe you have stopped being the awful MCP , you are.You never listen to what other's say, especially when it comes to me , you turn deaf. Why can't you just mind your business and finish this work . anyways I'm suffocated with your presence."

" Oh ! really Agarwal. Don't forget I was the one who saved you from that pit or else you would lied there for more hours altoghther. "

" don't credit yourself for it. Parth was the one who spotted me falling and came to help me. He is such a wonderful guy . he always helps others. I wish I had a guy like him as a boyfriend for myself but perhaps destiny has decided to give me someone completely opposite of him ..." She bit her tongue.

Did she just indirectly confess that she loves him and that they are destined to be toghther? She closed her eyes in disbelief. Why did she always have to lose control over herself when he was around ...His mere presence did weird things to that organ inside her chest.

She slowly opened her eyes praying that she was'nt that loud but as destiny had decided There stood Randhir. Just inches apart , dangerously close. One movement from either side and they would repeat their infamous kiss history. He stood there with a smirk on his face.

" So miss Agarwal thinks that destiny wants her and this MCP to be together, huh? Not bad Farzi. You know what you were right I never listen to what other's say but today I will listen to destiny and obey it's order throughout my life so that , this organ inside my chest starts beating for real."

And he leaned in to kiss her. Slow, soft and passionate, full of love . This Confession kiss was a complete contrast to their Hate kiss. He wrapped his hands around her waist and licked her lips slowly . She responded with equal passion and desire. She rested her hands against his chest as if it was a strong rock. Their heart beats erratic a indescribable happiness . He left her only when they were short of breath. Their foreheads resting together as a few tears leaked out of her eyes. He opened his eyes and cupped her face wiping her tears he said it. Those words she yearned to hear.

" I Love You Sanyukta. My love for you will never change, I promise . It will only increase with time. Please don't leave me alone . I will die..." He could not complete as she raised her hand and covered his mouth. She hugged him tightly and whispered in his ears

" Don't you dare say it again. The day I will leave you will be the day I will stop living. I Love you Randhir .I love you very , very much. Totally , Deeply And truly."

They stood like that for some more time when Randhir said in a mock tone,

" If you are forgettin farzi then let me tell you we have a project to complete., which if we don't then Captain Shekhawat may lose!"

" I will never let you lose Randhir. Especially when I'm involved ." She winled at him and they got back to work with a smiling face.

After a few hours, They sat on the ground tired and exhausted. Sanyukta laid down and pulled Randhir beside her. She dreamily looked at the stars and whispered a thank you to them as she closed her eyes and let sleep take over her mind. Randhir looked at his angel lying beside him and kept admiring her . Sanyukta turned and put her hand around him and her head on his shoulder blade. The slow breeze played with her hair and it was slowly touching Randhir's face , teasing him. He looked at her and realized how she was the only thing he had wanted all his life. He wrapped his arms around her petite figure and slept the most peacefully he had in years.

He opened his eyes and found himself tears . He suddenly felt something on his shoulder. It was her sleeping peacefully . He looked at her face and minutely observed how she still looked effortlessly beautiful even after all these years. He called for the airhostess and asked her for a blanket. He carefully wrapped it around her shoulders . His eyes not leaving her face even for a split second. He decided to give her one chance to explain herself. Not because she loved him, but because he loved her! He shut his eyes and rested his head on hers and let sleep get the better out of him.

" We never fall in love, we always rise in love!"
