Chapter -13

That day, as Sandhir sat on the terrace with their legs crossed and bundled close to their chests, Randhir noticed that Sanyukta was not her normal self. The usual relaxed smile was missing and her hands were clasped too tightly across her folded legs.

"What happened? You look disturbed?' he turned and looked straight into Sanyukta's eyes which were brimming with tears.

She shook her head and said, "Nothing! Just like that." She turned to the other side.

Randhir held her arm tightly and pulled her close to him, "It isn't nothing, Sanyukta. Come on tell me. Nothing happened at the work floor today, then why are you upset. Did I miss something."

Sanyukta felt fire rising up from her guts, "Oh really! Do you even bother if you have missed something to do with me? You seem to be happy enough in your world with that model partner of yours. So Mr. Randhir, thanks but no thanks for your help. There's nothing that you should be bothered about, and even if there is something, I'll tackle it on my own." Sanyukta stood up on her feet and was almost shouting by the time she completed her ranting. She felt the world swirl around her and her head hurt due to the sudden outburst.

Randhir stood up and looked at Sanyukta in disbelief with his jaw dropped, pondered for words to interrupt and give her a piece of his mind. "I am only concentrating on my work dammit. How am I supposed to know if you are in some problem. I saw you just now and figured that you are troubled by something. Where did I go wrong?" Randhir shrieked.

Sanyukta was still in tears and sobbing heavily. "You do not have to worry about me. How does it matter to you if I live or I die. All that you bother about is your work and that model work partner Vidushi of yours." Sanyukta yelped.

Randhir yanked at her and hauled her just inches away from his chest. There fiery gaze met each other's and they felt the intermingling of their uneven breaths. They stood there gawking at each other, overcome by a strange rush of emotions that caused them to freeze in that moment. At the same time they bristled with a tingling sensation in their nerve ends.

Suddenly they heard the watchman whistle and the trance broke. Randhir left Sanyukta's arms as they stood there for another minute or so without uttering a word. The sight of a misty eyed sniffling Sanyukta infuriated Randhir further. "Listen Sanyukta, if you don't want to tell me then don't, but please don't cry. Its very disturbing." Randhir seethed and turned to leave.

Sanyukta stood there holding herself and looked upto the stars. As she slowly took the passage back to her room she was occupied with a lot of conflicting emotions. "What did you just say Sanyu? Did you actually taunt him for being friendly with another girl? But why? Why should it bother you? The actual reason why you were disturbed was not Vidushi. You know it very well." She thought to herself as she recalled her conversation with her father last evening. "Papa!!! Why does my dad get these intermittent urges to marry me off time and again? I can't even tell this to Randhir as he will mock me. And moreover, this is my problem. I do not want to share it with anyone." Sanyukta talked to herself in her mind as she crossed the corridor towards her room.

"But how will I make up with Randhir now?" Sanyukta froze at the thought of not being friends with Randhir anymore. "God! Why at all did I have to say all that? And why did I bring Vidushi into all this?" Sanyukta dragged herself to her room.

Sanyukta entered the room, and saw Vidushi at her bed watching television. With her head dropped down, she walked upto the bathroom and banged the door shut behind her. For some reason she wanted to make it evident to Vidushi that she was upset. And she was successful in her endeavour. When she emerged out of the bathroom a couple of minutes later, Vidushi muted the television and sat up with a pillow on her lap.

"Sanyukta! Are you ok? You look terrible. You can share with me, if there's a problem." Vidushi asked with genuine concern.

Sanyukta tried not to look upto her. She curled up on her bed and cried her heart out. Vidushi was very worried now. She closed up on sanyukta and started patting her back to comfort her. Unable to help her contain her sobbing, Vidushi offered her a glass of water and some more help, "Would talking to Randhir help? I know you two are best friends."

"How do you know that?" Sanyukta enquired, while still sniffling.

"He told me. He told me how close you two are to each other. That its a strange relationship both of you share. That you spend almost all your time together back in college." Vidushi was talking very thoughtfully now.

On listening this account from Vidushi, Sanyukta sat up, "Randhir told you all this?" Vidushi nodded in affirmative. "What else did he say?" Sanyukta was intrigued now.

"Just yesterday he was telling me, how he is missing working with you. While with you he would not have to bother about half the things that i bother him with. Had it not been for Mr. Jha he would have definitely teamed up with you. And yes, he said how he was missing just being with you all the time." Vidushi rolled up her eyes, very carefully trying to remember his Words.

Sanyukta wiped her tears off with the back of her hand and looked down at the floor. "And I fought with him?"

"But why?" Vidushi placed her hand on Sanyukta's shoulders.

"Because I was angry that ... I was such a fool." Sanyukta shook her head and chuckled sadly.

Vidushi raised her eyebrows and looked at Sanyukta, amused with her conflicting expressions.

"I know it's personal. But can I ask you something?" Sanyukta looked up to Vidushi, and prompted her to continue her question.

"With all the time that you have spent together in the past, has it ever occurred to you that you two might be in love with each other?" Vidushi asked very softly.

This question hit Sanyukta like a bolt. She gasped as the reality of the situation hit her. "I... I don't know?" she stared very confusingly at Vidushi.

At this Vidushi passed a smile like that of the Oracle, "Then you should figure out. It's quite a possibility you know!" She sighed as she stood up from Sanyukta's bed and took a moment's pause to turn back and take a look at Sanyukta, "And more so, because i think that your reasons for being upset tonight seem to have been eliminated." Sanyukta noticed the traces of mockery in her tone, as she staggeringly looked up at Vidushi. Vidushi gave that naughty wink and turned around to retire to her own bed while Sanyukta sat there trying to make sense of her conversations first with Randhir and then with Vidushi.

-----------------------

In another room of the guesthouse, Randhir was all alone and all frustrated. Sahil, his roommate had excused himself to be in another room where all the IIT Mumbai guys hap planned for a night long adda. He was badlly missing his punching bag and had resorted to the lone pillow on his bed to vent of his frustration when his phone rang. It was Parth.

Randhir was in no mood to talk to anyone, but still decided to pick up Parth's call.

"Hello bro, what's up? I hope that you are working on a real nice project. Its been three weeks into the training and you didn't have the time to call me even once. Such a disgrace to friendship." Parth said in an over-dramatic way.

"Shut up with your non-sense, will you? What's up with you?" Randhir answered very curtly. Parth was quick to sense the disinterest in Randhir's voice and pounced his next question, "What happened Randhir? You seem upset. I can't believe that anything regarding work could go wrong with you. So tell me what happened, did you and Sanyukta fight." Randhir could visualise a grinning Parth even as he heard him over the phone.

"What do you mean? Why do think that fighting with Sanyukta will upset me? There could be many other reasons for my anger?" Randhir verbally ambushed.

"Yes you are right. There could be many other reasons for you to be upset." Parth emphasised on the word COULD, "But sadly there arn't. So this leads to a conclusion that you fought with Sanyukta." Parth prophesised.

"I didn't fight with her. It is she who just shouted on me. I just fail to understand her. You tell me Parth? That I got teamed up with Vidushi for the project, due to which I have to talk to her, is my fault? She shouted on me for being friendly with Vidushi, and also for ignoring her." Randhir, who had been looking for a sink for a very long time, blurted.

"Hmmm! Is it Sanyukta who said all this to you?" Parth enquired with a deep undertone.

And irritated Randhir reacted, "Obviously idiot. How am I otherwise supposed to read her mind?"

"Bhai!!!! That's good news then!!!!!!" Parth responded in an electrified tone, as if in a eureka moment. A confused Randhir pulled the mobile phone away from his ear and gave it a quizzical and quick glance wondering what had come over his best friend and retorted, "Will you elaborate? I do not have patience for a lifetime."

Parth cleared his throat, "Arre yaar!! The fact that she doesn't like you spending time or talking nicely to another girl is a proof of the fact that, probably she,... i mean she most probably... no she definitely likes you too." Parth declared and waited for Randhir's reaction.

Randhir was too astounded to react. "Arre say something!!! Do not go insane with happiness. I said most probably she definitely likes you." PArth's undertone exasperated Randhir.

"PArth! I'll call you later. Gud night. Take care." Randhir snapped; after a moment's pause called out, "PArth! Thanks man." Before Parth could react or respond, the line had gone "beeep".

That night, both Sandhir lay on their bed looking through the roof and rewinding all the years/months/weeks/days spent together, trying to pin down exactly when they had lost their hearts to each other.
