Chapter 17 :
She didn't know why but her heart felt light. She was contented.
Morning :
Ranveer was getting ready for school. When he was about to leave, Sanyukta shouted from behind.
"Ranveer!" She called out to im.
"Yes?" he replied.
"Lunch le liya?" she asked.
"Haan," he replied.
"Accha? Then what is this?" she asked and showed him his lunch box.
He checked his backpack and muttered a oops'.
"Ye lo. I cooked today. Kha ke batana ki kaisa hai, okay?" she told cheerfully.
"Aapne?" he told and opened the box, "Aloo paratha with paneer? Mera favorite!" he told happily.
"Bata hai, tumhare papa ka bhi favorite hai!" she told.
"Okay, bye! Iska report mein shaam ko dunga!" he told naughtily and ran out.
"Shaitan!" she shouted.
"Phirse bolo?" he asked.
"What?" she replied, confused.
"Phirse bolo?" he told again.
"Shaitan!" she shouted louder.
"Bye Sanyu!" he shouted and jumped into the car.
She smiled.
She sat on the couch smiling. How she wanted to do this everyday. Cook food for him and pack his lunch. She didn't know his maternity but she felt happy whenever he was around. "Aloo-paratha and Paneer?" she thought. Her thoughts made way to her memory lane again. *The first time she had ever cooked for him.*
CANTEEN :
"Buh, I am so bored of this canteen food baap!" Randhir complained.
"Stop whining Randhir and eat it fast!" Sanyukta scolded.
"I am not eating. I am bored of it," he told and got up, "Chalo kaka ke dhabe pe chalte hai!"
"Have gone out of your mind? PKC sir ki class hai 15mins mein and you want to go out with me tagged along?" she asked with widened eyes.
"Bhook lagi hai," he complained yet again.
"So eat this!" she told and pointed out to the canteen's food.
"No I am not eating that," he told and walked towards the classroom.
"Nautanki," she muttered and stuffed the leftover burger in her mouth and ran to catch up with him.
"Randhir, kha lo na?" she pleaded.
"Nai. I am not hu-" he told and stopped walking as something struck his mind. He smirked.
"Kya hua?" she asked confused.
"Mere liye khana pakao na?" he asked with puppy eyes.
"What?" she asked and stopped walking.
"Haan, dekho tum ek ladki ho and you supposedly you are also my girlfriend!" he told and stopped walking.
"Excuse me? I am not cooking anything for anyone!" she replied.
"Oh c'mon you are a girl you should cook," he told.
"Once an MCP always an MCP," she told and sat on the seat.
"Sanyukta please!" he pleaded.
"Shut up Randhir," she retorted.
"Okay fine. I won't eat anything until you cook for me once," he told and sulked.
"Okay fine. Don't eat!" she told.
In the night, they went to have dinner but Randhir didn't eat. Sanyukta asked him to eat but he didn't. After eating, they went off to their respective hostels.
GIRLS HOSTEL :
Sanyukta was pacing here and there.
"Oh god! Iss idiot ne kuch nahi khaya from afternoon. Abb kya kare?" Sanyukta thought.
"Ugh. I hate this!" she shouted and went outside.
"Come to the canteen!" she told over the phone.
After 5mins...
"Kya hai?" Randhir told faking anger.
"Randhir, zyaada overaction mat karo. I called you here to cook something for you," Sanyukta told.
"Really?" he asked excited like a cute kid.
"Yes," she told angrily.
"Oh my sweetheart is angry?" he asked cutely.
"Tumhe yahan romance karne ke liye nahi bulaya hai! Come and open this door," she told.
"Okay okay," he told and after trying for 5mins he opened the door.
"Chalo!" she told and bolted the door from inside.
She was preparing food and he was sitting and admiring her cute anger.
"Khana banao!" she muttered angrily.
"Arey ye toh sachme gussa hai!" he thought.
He silently went to her and hugged her from behind tightly. Slowly he traced his hand to her shoulder and pulled down her sleeve.
"Door raho Randhir, let me work!" she muttered angrily.
"Chala jaau?" he asked caressing her bare shoulder.
"Haan!" she told.
"Nahi nahi," he told and started placing wet kisses on her shoulder.
"Randhir!" she moaned.
"I am sorry," he told.
"Hmm?" she muttered confused.
He pushed her to the wall and started kissing her neck. Her hormones were not under her control now. She pulled him closer and assaulted his lips. They kissed like there is no tomorrow. He left her lips and kissed all over her face.
"I miss home cooked food," he told in between the kisses.
"What?" she told and abruptly ended the kiss.
"It been years I have eaten home-made food!" he told looking down.
"Matlab?" she asked, confused.
"Maine ghar ka khana bohot saal pehle khaya tha. Woh mom kabhi bhi..." he started but trailed off. He was close to tears.
Sanyukta felt bad. She pushed him to the wall and kissed him. He was shocked. "What is she doing?" he thought. But it didn't take him seconds to respond back. He cupped her face and kissed her fiercely. He dominated this one and she let him happily. They broke apart as their lungs were craving for air. She went to him wrapped her arms around his neck and told, "Mai hoon na? Kabhi tumhe ghar ke khane ko miss karne hi nahi dungi!"
He smirked.
She left him and started cooking.
"Randhir why do you like to kiss me so much?" she asked.
"Because you are so irresistable!" he told and started walking towards her. She was expecting another kiss.
"Door raho! Kaam karne do mujhe," she told.
"Kya? Mai toh apple ke liye aaya tha!" he told innocently. He knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Yeah right, jaao door. Varna?" she told pointing a knife at him.
"Maar dogi kya? Par uske baad tum kaise jee paogi?" he asked.
"Chup! Let me concentrate," she told.
After half an hour...
She bought two plates full of food.
"Yeh kya hai?" he asked.
"Ye," she told pointing towards the curry, "Methi masala hai and ye," she told pointing towards the paratha, "gobi-paratha hai!"
"Chalo khathe hai," he told happily and smiled his best.
"Randhir iss smile ke liye mai tumhare liye har roz khana banane ke liye tayaar hoon!" she thought.
"Kya soch rahi ho?" he asked.
"Kuch nai. Chalo khathe hai," she told and pecked him on his cheek.
He pulled her back and kissed her on her cheek. They started eating and feeding eachother. After eating they washed the plates and went out.
"Chalo ab jaao!" she told.
He pulled her close and wrapped his hands on her waist and told, "Thanks!"
"You're welcome. Abb romance bandh karo!" she replied and pushed him.
"Buh, mujhe laga dessert milega!" he told.
"Nahi milega, two times dessert le liya tumne. Abb jaao!" she told.
"Okay fine," he told and started walking towards his hostel. She did the same. Before getting out of sight he called out to her.
"Kya?" she asked.
"I love you," he told.
"I love you too," she told and blushed.
"Sanyu!" she heard someone say.
"Parth?" she told as he settled himsef beside her on the couch.
"Kahan khoyi hui ho?" Parth asked.
"Randhir ke khayalo mein, aur kahan?" she told without giving it a second thought.
"Ahem ahem," he told.
"Oh stop it now!" she complained.
"Okay okay. Woh sab chodo. Kal Randhir vaapas aa raha hai. You remember right?" he asked.
"Yeah, par mujhe bohot darr lag raha hai!" she told.
"I am scared too but it's okay. I want him back at any cost!" he told.
"Me too," she told and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Agar tum dono bhai behen ki ho gayi ho toh bolo hum kya kare?" Vidushi put in.
"Kya kare matlab? Kal ke liye wait karenge. We can do nothing else!" Parth told.
NIGHT...
"Chalo Ranveer so jaao ab!" Sanyukta told.
"Aapka khana mast tha. Senior bhi itna accha khana nai pakathe hai!" Ranveer told.
"Good, chalo kal tumhare senior aa rahe hai na? So jaao!" she told.
"Aap mereliye kal bhi khana banaoge kya?" Ranveer asked.
"Haan banaungi! Now sleep," she replied.
"Mai aapke godi mein so sakta hoon? Kal bohot acchi neend aayi thi!" Ranveer told innocently.
Sanyukta was close to tears. She controlled them somehow and nodded.
"Goodnight!" she told.
"Goodnight," he replied and dozed off.
She again leaned on to the wall and dozed off preparing herself to meet Randhir with all the guilt she had bottled up in herself.
MORNING :
"Parth wo apne kamre mei nahi hai!" Vidushi told.
"Arey ye ladki kaha gayi?" Parth told scared.
"Kaka Sanyukta ko dekha?" Kaustuki asked.
"Nahi beta. Mai toh Ranveer baba ko uthane jaa raha hoon," kaka replied and went into Ranveer's room.
He came out after a minute,
"Beta, wo mil gayi!" kaka told.
"Kaha hai?" Parth asked.
"Chaliye mere saath," kaka told.
They went into Ranveer's room. They were happily surprised. Ranveer was sleeping happily on Sanyukta's lap and Sanyukta was resting her head on the wall behind. They looked so cute. The group there kept admiring their cutness silently.
"Kitne pyaare lag rahe hai na?" kaka asked.
"Haan bohot!" Parth replied.
"Soo cutee mann!" Kaustuki exclaimed.
"Hey bhagwan! Mujhe Ranveer baba ko uthana hai," kaka told.
"Ek second kaka," Parth told and fished for his phone.
He took it out and clicked a few pictures. "They look so cute," he told and signalled kaka to wake them up.
Kaka woke them up.
"Ranveer baba chalo school!" kaka told, "Randhir baba shaam ko aayenge!"
"Haan kaka," Ranveer replied.
"Dekho toh uske chehre ki hasi. Bhagwan kare ki Ranveer aur Randhir baba kabhi door na ho!" kaka told and looked up.
Sanyukta made food again and packed it. Ranveer went to school.
EVENING :
Ranveer was pacing here and there. He was impatiently for his dad. Whereas Sanyukta and Parth were getting scared. With every passing moment their heartbeats were increasing their speed. Sanyukta started shivering. Evening passed but there was no sign of Randhir.
The door opened. Everyone were anticipating Randhir but instead his dad had come.
"Dadu?" Ranveer told, disappointment clear in his voice.
"Randhir nahi aaya abhi tak?" he asked.
"No!" everyone told together.
"Let's wait then," he told and settled on the couch.
NIGHT :
Randhir didn't arrive yet. His phone was out of coverage area. Everyone retired to sleep and went to their bedrooms. Ranveer kept on waiting assuming he might come in the night. He dozed off there only.
MORNING :
"Sanyu, utho!" Parth told slowly.
"Parth sone do na?" Sanyukta murmured.
"Sanyukta Randhir aa gaya hai!" Parth told and covered her mouth before she could shout.
"Chillana mat!" Parth told and removed his hand.
"Aa gaya? Par tum itne excited kyu lag rahe ho?" Sanyukta asked confused.
"Come out and see for yourself aur haan bilkul chup rehna!" Parth muttered.
"Par kyu?" Sanyukta told as she and Parth tip-toed their way.
"Shhh, bas chup rehna!" Parth told.
"Okay fine," Sanyukta told.
Parth pointed out to something. When Sanyukta saw what Parth pointed out to her jaw dropped. There stood Mr. Randhir Singh Shekhawat holding his ears and executing sit-ups. Ranveer was sitting on the couch in front of him with his hands folded to his chest and counting the number of sit-ups.
"Dekho, the great Randhir Singh Shekhawat sit-ups kar raha hai," Parth hissed with a sly smile on his face.
"I can't believe this, Randhir Ranveer ke kehne par sit-ups kar raha hai?" Sanyukta hissed back.
"I know right," Parth told and continued watching the rare scene in front of him.
"Champ! Sorry na?" Randhir told sweetly.
"No ways! Aap late ho. Abb punishment toh milegi hi," Ranveer told.
"Papa bolo na isko?" Randhir pleaded.
"Mai kuch nahi kar sakta. Tu don hai toh ye chota don hai," Randhir's dad told.
"Ha ha ha," Ranveer laughed devilishly and told, "Chalo abb jaldi jaldi karo!"
"Champ school nahi jaana hai?" Randhir told.
"Number of sit-ups increase karu kya?" Ranveer asked.
"Nahi nahi mere baap, school mat ja!" Randhir told, "Kitne hue?"
"43," Randhir's dad told.
"57 aur?" Randhir exclaimed extremely tired.
"Haan abb jaldi jaldi karo. Iske baad khana bhi banana hai," Ranveer told mischeiviously.
"Kyaaa?" Randhir shouted and stopped the vigorous exercise his son was making him do.
"Haan, aapne promise kiya tha ki aap mereliye agle 2 weeks mein khana pakaoge, remember?" Ranveer told calmly.
"Shaitan!" Randhir shouted and resumed the sit-ups.
"Aapka beta hoon na? Itna toh banta hai," Ranveer replied mischieviously.
"Issiliye toh ye sab kar raha hoon, agar nahi hota toh mai tujhe kaccha kha jaata!" Randhir told.
"Haww, senior aap man-eater ho?" Ranveer asked innocently.
"Teri toh," Randhir told and after a pause told, "Wait, tu kaha ka man hai? Baccha hai tu baccha," Randhir told teasing him.
"Oye, baccha nahi hoon mai!" Ranveer told and stood up.
"Accha?" Randhir told and stood up too.
He compared their heights.
"You're not even half of me!" Randhir told and gave a winning smile. But little did he know that he was arguing with Ranveer.
"Haan toh age bhi toh kam hai na? Jab mai 25 ka ho jaaunga tab dekh lenge! Bacche se competition? Chi chi," Ranveer told and laughed, "for now continue your sit-ups," he added.
"Tu mera baap hai ki mai tera?" Randhir asked.
"Dono," Randhir's dad replied earning a glare from Randhir.
"Haha, abb kaam khatam karo!" Ranveer told and sat back on the couch.
"Karta hoon," Randhir told and helplessly resumed his sit-ups.
"Papa kitne hue?" Randhir asked.
"92," he replied.
"Bach gaye," Randhir told and continued.
"And 100," Randhir told and got up. He immediately slouched on the couch beside Ranveer.
"Senior?" Ranveer told.
"Haan jaa raha hoon pakane!" Randhir told and got up.
"Jaake so jaao. You look tired!" Ranveer told.
"Abb realise hua?" Randhir told faking anger.
"Punishment toh milni hi thi, firstly, you left on Friday and you told me you would return on Wednesday, four days away from you, that only was hard and you added another extra day. So punishment was compulsory," Ranveer told and looked down.
Now Randhir also felt bad. It was his mistake, he had missed his flight. He didn't even inform them about the delay.
"Sorry champ," Randhir told and got to down on his knees. He caught his ears and apologized again.
"Okay okay, aap bhi kya yaad rakhoge, chalo maaf kiya!" Ranveer replied in bollywood style and ran away.
"Accha bacchu?" Randhir told and got up.
"Randhir jaake so jao thodi der. Baad me Ranveer se fight kar lena!" Randhir's dad advised.
"Okay papa. Goodnight champ!" Randhir told and turned around.
The minute Randhir told 'okay papa' Sanyukta and Parth hid themselves behind a curtain so that Randhir couldn't see them. They wanted Randhir to take rest before revealing the truth. They were scared, no doubts. But they had to knew had to do it at any cost.
Randhir smiled and went to his room to enjoy a nap.
He stopped in the hallway and turned towards Ranveer.
"Champ koi ghar pe aaya hai kya?" Randhir asked.
"Huh!?" Ranveer exclaimed not knowing what to tell.
"Haan Randhir. I told you about the new group for the project na? They are staying with us in this house so that they can be with you. You'll even get more time together to discuss and etc etc.." Randhir's dad told in one breath.
"Oh okay," Randhir told normally and went to bed.
"Isko kaise bata chala?" Parth asked Sanyukta.
"Meri vajah se," Sanyukta told and smiled thinking that her unknown presence still affects Randhir.
"Kya?" Parth told and came out of their hiding.
They went downstairs.
"Kaka aap rehne dijiye," Ranveer told, "Aaj khana senior pakaenge."
"Haan chod do Ramu. Ranveer kisi ki baat nahi sunega," Randhir's dad told.
"Parth, Randhir iski saari baatein sunta hai. That is so unlike him na?" Sanyukta asked.
"I know," Parth replied.
After a few hours, Randhir freshened up and came down. He observed his dad was tensed.
"Kya hua papa? You look tensed," Randhir told.
"Huh!? Kuch nai. Mai bilkul theek hoon," he replied back.
"Okay. Abhi lunch ke liye time hai na? Team ki intro kare?" Randhir asked casually searching for the TV remote.
"Huh!? Haan, woh...okay!" Randhir's dad stuttered.
"Kuch toh gadbad hai," Randhir thought.
"Toh bulaao na?" Randhir asked.
"Haan," he told and signalled them to come and stand in a line.
Ranveer was sitting on the couch and watching everything. He also, was trying to find a reason for his granddad's absurd behavior. Everyone came and stood behind Randhir who was still busy searching for the TV remote. Randhir's back was facing the others.
"Randhir ye hai tumhari team," Randhir's dad told.
Randhir finally found the remote and was holding it in his hand.
"Hello, I am Ran-" he started but stopped looking at the group in front of him. His voice choked. He dropped the TV remote from his hands.
"Randhir ye Part-" Randhir's dad started but stopped when Randhir signalled him to stop by placing his palm in front of his face.
He looked at everyone one by one. Sahil, Vidushi, Kaustuki, Jiggy, Parth and Sanyukta. Momentary eye-contact. He saw something in her eyes. Guilt? No. How could it be? He wanted to cry? Hell no! He didn't have a heart anymore.
Randhir silently went up to his room.
Silence.
"Uncle usse jaake dekhiye na?" Sanyukta pleaded.
"Arey nahi. Meri haddiya tod dega!" Randhir's dad exclaimed.
Dhaaad.
Something broke.
Dhaaad.
Something broke again.
The sounds grew louder and louder.
"May I know senior aise kyu chale gaye?" Ranveer asked sternly. He sounded angry.
