Chapter 19: New Bond
Ankit had reached Dhwani's room and knocked at the entrance. She chirped a small come in and was busily arranging her stuff. He came in with the luggage, kept it on the floor and was about to leave when he heard a small sniff! He turned around and asked "Hey are you ok?"
Dhwani: Yea (she said in a croacky voice)
Ankit: Hmmm.. Sanyu jab gussa hoti hai she vents out her anger by having a lot of Moti choor laddu. What do you do?
Dhwani: Mein bhi kuch sweet kaathi hoon.
Ankit: Leke aaon?
Dhwani: Nahi!
Ankit walked a little more to her and was about to keep a hand on her shoulder, at the same time she turned around. She was scared to see Ankit so close to her and she lost her balance. Ankit caught her by her waist.She started crying within a few moments of eyelock. Ankit helped her stand straight and the next moment she hugged him and started sobbing hard. In between her sobs she got hiccups. Ankit meanwhile soothing her by just rubbing her back was lost in thoughts of Mishti who also used to get hiccups when she cried.. After a while she stopped crying and moved away from Ankit bringing back Ankit from his world.
Dhwani: woh... am sor..(hiccup) sorry!
Ankit: Its ok. Are you feeling better.
Dhwani: ye (hiccup) yes!
Ankit gave her a glass of water and she took it slowly from her.
Ankit: Hmmm. Are you angry on Randhir?
Dhwani: Haan!
Ankit: Kyun?
Dhwani: How can he scold me. I just asked for a room. Why did he get angry.
Ankit: There was a reason.
Dhwani: Kya reason? You are also taking his side.
Ankit: Its not safe Dhwani!
Dhwani: What safe? Ghar hi to hai! Kamra upar ya neeche kya farak padtha hai?
Ankit: See the room is located at the farthest end of the house. Matlab bahut peeche! So anyone can get easy access to your room. And this is a prime locality! All rich people stay here. So chances of robbery are high.
Dhwani: Tho? Sanyu,kastu aur Vidu bhi neeche hi rehte hain!
Ankit: They are three of them Dhwani! Any problem, they can shout for help immediately.
Dhwani: Par firbhi bhai ko aisa chilla na nahi chahiye tha!
Ankit: Lets just say he was more concerned! Ab chill karo! Tang karte hai Randhir ko. Baat mat kar usse jab tak woh maafi na maange!
Dhwani: awesome plan.
She hugged him out of joy! At this both felt tingles and shivers run through their spine and immediately Dhwani backed out.
Dhwani: Am sorry!
Ankit: Its ok! Keep smiling. You look good when you smile!
Dhwani: By the way I wanted to ask you? Are you angry with me?
Ankit (puzzled) : Why would I be angry with you?
Dhwani(looking down): Coz I wore the lehenga you bought for Sanyu the other day
Ankit: Oh that! Aisa kuch nahi! It took me sometime to understand why she had given it to you. And you looked gorgeous in it!
Dhwani(beaming): Sach mein? Waise friends?
Ankit(teasing): Hum nahi the kya ab tak? Kis haq se gale pad rahi thi? Gf?
Dhwani: arey! Abhi friend kaha. Tum tho gf tak pahunch gaye? Waise mera koi hai! Tho line mat maro!
Ankit: Acha? Mein aur tum pe line? Dream on! Even I have a girl. One woman man you see!
Soon they both were laughing and teasing each other. They had decided to arrange her room in the evening. Later Dhwani left for her internship and as per Ankit's plan she didn't meet Randhir. Later Ankit went to help Kastu and Jiggy. Randhir and Jiggy did not have any meeting today so they had decided to set the house today. The girls along with Ankit wanted to help them so they had taken off.
Here Sanyu was waiting for a reply to enter Randhir's room. On getting no reply she peeped in closing her eyes and spoke "Aap kahan ho?" Slowly she opened one eye to check if he was there. When she saw him near the balcony, she got angry as he didn't bother to reply to her when she had come here toonly help him.
Sanyu(fuming in anger): Samjthe kya ho apne aap ko haan? I came to help you. And you. Ugh!
Hearing her voice, he turned around to see her in anger! He showed in action 5 minutes that's when she realised he was on call with someone and was very angry. She was patiently waiting for a while and suddenly she heard him start shouting "was zum teufel? Warum didn't sie es uberprufen?" (what the hell? Why didn't you check?) "was ist der verlust es" (what is the loss) He waited for a few minutes. " 2 million dollars? Wissen sie, wie viele nullen hut?"(do you know how many zeros it has) Stolz erzahlte Mr.Paterl sie mach (proudly told Mr.patel you will take care) "E-mail senden, sobald sie umzuformulieren die Ausschreibung" (send mail once you redraft the tenders) "An die arbeit" (get to work). He cut the call, came inside in fury and was walking up and down. He saw a glass on the study table, he grabbed it in anger and smashed it on the floor. He turned around to a whimper, that's when he realised that Sanyu was there in the room.
She had winced in pain when a piece of glass had got into her arm and blood was oozing out. He immediately rushed to her. All his anger had vanished the moment he had seen her in pain and it was replaced with guilt. Took her hand gently and made her sit on the bed,while he went to his suitcase and pulled out a first aid kit. He came to her and took her arm gently in hers and very slowly moved his hand towards the glass piece to removed. That's when she spoke in a teary "Aap rehene do"
Randhir (gently): Hey infection ho jayega agar nahi nikala tho. Ab haat do.
Sanyu(crying little) Dard hoga!
Randhir(chuckling): Agar nahi nikala tho bhi hoga! Aise hi gommegi kya?
He took her hand in his and removed the glass piece. As soon as he removed it, she winced out loud in pain and clutched his shirt very tightly, thus slightly touching his chest. This sent shivers down his spine. He was looking at her face for a while, then he saw tears run through her cheeks. Slowly he took cotton to wipe off the blood that was oozing out, applied some antiseptic to which she again winced, took an ointment and put it on the swab placed it one her wound and bandaged her injury.
Randhir: Hmmm. Hogaya!
She opened her eyes which were now red due to her incessant tears which had finally stopped.
Randhir (guiltily): ab tum mujhe chod sakte ho. Agar chillane ka man na ho tho.
That's when she realised the she was holding on to his shirt. She left it with a jerk, pushing him a little away from her stood up and walked to the table. He thought she was angry and he hung his head. "Here!" He lifted up his head on hearing her voice again. She was calm and gave him a beautiful smile. He saw her giving him a glass of water. He took without questioning her as he had actually wanted to have it.
Sanyu: Feeling better?
Randhir: I should be asking you that.
Sanyu: Am ok! And you?
Randhir: Am sorry for hurting you. I was re-really tensed.
Sanyu: I understand! Its ok.
Randhir: Am sorry. Please accept my apology.
Sanyu: Hmmm. Ek baat boloon? Bhura tho nahi manoge na?
Randhir: Haan?
Sanyu: Aap jaake Dhwani se sorry bolo. You were tensed from the morning I guess. I saw you were not yourself and even though you tried to get past it, you were not able to. Eventually you showed it on Dhwani. You were not harsh, but you sounded very stern. That too in front of us! She must have felt bad!
Randhir: But she was not ready to understand!
Sanyu: She's younger to you. Iska matlab yeh nahi ki aap uspe chilaka sab keh sakte ho. Hmm you could have told her in a loving manner as well. I know you love your sis a lot. I just felt like telling. Sorry agar kuch zyada boldiya tho.
Randhir: Hmmm. Maybe you are right. I will go to her now. But before that, tum maaf nahi korogi?
Sanyu: Dosti mein tho no sorry and no thank you! Tho mein nahi karungi maaf!
Randhir (teasing): Acha? So even if I do anything you wont expect a sorry?
Sanyu: Hmmm. Aisa nahi hai. Agar bahut hurt kiya tho you have to. Otherwise its fine! Sochke batao ki hum friends hai ki nahi! Mein bahar jaake broom laathi hoon isse clean karne ke liye.
She starts going out and almost reached the door when,
Randhir: Sanyukta?
Sanyu: Haan?
