Love you'll.
Chapter 15 :
Heartbeats rose.
She read out the list which contained only 8 names.
Sanyukta Aggarwal.
Parth Kashyap.
Jignesh Patel.
Kaustuki Sherpa.
Sahil Khanna.
Vidushi Kumar.
Arushi Mehra.
Vishal Chopra.
"The others are not selected. Candidates not selected may leave!" she told. After the un-selected candidates left, she turned towards the selected ones and told, "Mr. Harshvardhan Shekhawat will come to meet you all and he will furnish you'll with the details!"
She left.
The mention of Randhir's dad's name made Sanyukta sweat even more. "How will she face him?" she thought.
"Relax Sanyu, everything will be fine," she heard Parth say.
After what seemed like an eternity to Sanyukta, Harshvardhan entered in along with the board of directors.
"Hello everyone," he greeted with a big smile.
"Good Morning sir," everyone but Sanyukta told.
Harshvardhan sensed Sanuykta's uneasiness.
"I'll be quick, you all no why you'll are here and it's no big secret. Only to fulfill my dream for which you will be paid. You all will work under the supervision of my child, the owner of this company, Randhir Singh Shekhawat. The only reason I am here talking to you is that Randhir isn't here at this moment. I am sure you all must be wondering why Randhir didn't conduct your interview; well you all are selected by the board members. Randhir didn't want to conduct this interview because he wanted someone more experienced to conduct it. He wanted the best engineers of the country to take part in this project. Your accommodation will be our responsibility and it will be Randhir's house itself so that you'll get more time to think over and be together. It is not compulsory though. You want to stay on your own then be it. Only, you will have to tell us clearly where you are staying so that we can arrange the travel facility and yes, your two other colleagues, Mr. Vishal Chopra and Miss. Arushi Mehra will join you directly on the day of work," Harshvardhan told.
"Well, we have selected you all for two reasons, one, you'll are efficient engineers and your presence of mind is commendable and two, you all are from FITE except the other two I must add, you all must be familiar with Randhir. It will be a lot easier to work when there are no new introductions and friendships needed," a man told.
"Old friends, new start!" a woman told.
"The other two are exceptionally good too. We couldn't afford to lose them!" another deadly looking man spoke.
"I hope you all will work with full concentration and a dedicated mind. I hope Randhir will not have to regret our decision," the man who seemed oldest spoke.
"Never sir," Parth told with confidence.
"Randhir's house-accommodation," was the last thing Sanyukta heard. "How will she manage to stay near Randhir will all the guilt?" she thought.
"We'll take leave now Harsh," a man told.
Harshvardhan smiled in response.
The board members left. The clock struck six.
"Six," Jiggy exclaimed.
"Hello? Don't you'll remember me?" Harsh asked casually this time.
"Sir?" Jiggy started.
"Jiggy, sir gaye, now uncle!" Harsh told.
"Uncle, kaise ho aap?' Jiggy asked.
"Alright. Tum kaise ho?" Harsh asked.
"Theek thaak uncle," Jiggy told.
No one spoke.
They felt uneasy.
Slowly, they were walking out of the room. Harsh asked Sanyukta and Parth to stay. Others left.
"Sir I am sorry," Sanyukta immediately told after the others left.
"Sorry? Why?" Harsh asked, "Call me uncle. I am not your boss technically."
"Okay sir...I mean uncle!" Sanyukta told.
"Sanyukta, Parth I am not mad at you both. So you don't have to be scared!" Harsh told.
"But uncle..." Parth started but shut up.
"I know everything Parth and I know how much he misses you!" Harsh told.
"He hates us now uncle," Parth told and tears formed in his eyes.
"I know that Parth," Harsh told, "And I also know that you are a master in turning hatred to love."
Parth smiled at this.
"Why do you think Randhir isn't here now?" Harsh asked smiling slyly.
"Matlab aapko bata tha?" Sanyukta asked.
"Haan, bata tha!" Harsh replied.
"Kaise uncle?" Parth asked.
"Vardhan ko kaise bhool gaye? Unhone hi mujhe call karke bataya tha aur Randhir ko London bhejne ka plan bhi unka hi tha!" Uncle replied.
"Uncle aap humare side kyu ho?" Parth asked.
"Woh because I want to see my son happy and he will be happy only when he is with you'll," Harsh told.
"So aap humare side ho?" Parth asked to confirm once again.
"Haan beta, come here!" Harsh told and opened his arms.
They shared a hug.
"Go now. I want my son smiling!" Harsh told and parted from the hug, "You'll can go to the house tomorrow and the work will start when Randhir is back!"
"Uncle par Randhir?" Parth asked.
"Main sambhal lunga," Harsh assured.
"Okay uncle. Apni galti sudharenge, promise!" Sanyukta told.
They went out and informed everyone that they can go to Randhir's house tomorrow. Everyone were excited to see Randhir's house.
Shekhawat Mansion :
The servants were cleaning the rooms in the first floor.
"Kaka kya ho raha hai? Someone's visiting?" Ranveer asked.
"Haan beta, aapke papa ke saath jo kaam karne wale hai wo aa rahe hai," kaka replied.
"Maza aayega!" Ranveer told rubbing his hands together amd smiling slyly.
"Tum unko tang nahi karoge," kaka told.
"Nahi nahi mai pareshaan kyu karunga?" Ranveer told with an innocent face.
"Shaitan!" kaka told and continued his work.
"Ha ha ha!" Ranveer told laughing devilishly.
Sunday :
Everyone reached the Shekhawat mansion. They were amazed. It was a huge, white, palatial mansion with a tinge of Randhir's favorite color - blue. It had a huge black gate guarded by 4 watchmen. There was a big garden to the right side of the house and a swimming pool to one corner of the garden. In short, the house was fab.
They were just silent. They had no words to tell.
They were greeted by the watchmen and one of them escorted them inside. He opened the main door and asked them to go inside. After they went in, he closed the door behind. The interiors were more beautiful than the exteriors. They were quite impressed with his tastes though they knew well that Randhir was awesome.
"Namaste, main Ramu. Ramu kaka!" Ramu kaka greeted them.
"Namaste kaka," Sanyukta told.
"Namaste beta ji!" Ramu kaka told cheerfully.
"Aap sab yahaan beth jaayiye," kaka told and asked them sit on the sofa, "main abhi aata hoon!"
"Chote saab kaha hai?" they heard Ramu kaka ask another servant.
"Woh apne kamre mein nahi hai!" the servant answered.
"Arey bhagwan!" Ramu kaka told and slapped his forehead.
On the other hand, Sanyukta was lost. She was only thinking how she will face Randhir's wife and child, especially Randhir, after a few days ofcourse. She was scared. A hundred questions were playing cricket in her mind. How will she face his wife? Did he tell her everything? Does she know that I am coming? Does she even know me?
Her thoughts were broken by loud shrill cries. They were loud, real loud. They rushed outside. They saw a small boy shouting holding his leg on the other side of the swimming pool. Everyone ran towards him. Suddenly they slipped and fell flat on their back and finally landed inside the swimming pool one by one. They boy ran away laughing. They hadn't seen his face, neither did he.
"Prank!" they screamed after coming out of the pool.
They saw their legs. It was smeared with grease. They weren't able to walk properly. They took the support of anything they could find and tried to walk. Sanyukta approached the place they had slipped and saw that there was grease smeared all over the grass due which they slipped.
"Guys, grease!" Sanyukta told and smiled widely.
"That boy! Is he Randhir's son?" Vidushi shrieked angrily.
"Oh c'mon now, don't tell me you are angry on him Vidushi. It was such an awesome prank!" Sanyukta told.
"Awesome? Humari halat dekhi hai tumne?" Vidushi told angrily.
"Guys let's go in. It's cold!" Parth advised.
They went in and Ramu kaka came to them looking at their state.
"Chote baba!" Ramu kaka told, "Aap abhi ye washroom use kijiye apne aap ko saaf karne keliye. Aapke kamro ko saaf kiya jaa raha hai!"
One by one they went and washed themselves, changed and came out.
"Aaa!" someone shouted.
Ramu kaka was holding a small boy by his ears and dragged him downstairs.
"Sorryyy kaka!" the boy shouted.
"Mujhe nahi unhe bolo!" kaka told.
"Okay," the boy told.
He turned around and his jaw dropped. He didn't speak.
"Isse toh Randhir ke office mein dekha tha na?" Sanyukta told.
"Haan! Kahi ye?" Parth told.
"Jiggy chachuuu!" the boy shouted.
"Eh? Chachu?" Jiggy told and turned to look at Ranveer.
"Ranveeerrr!" Jiggy shouted.
Ranveer ran and jumped and flung his arms around Jiggy.
"Jiggy chachu?" Ranveer told this time softly.
"Arey Ranveer tum yaha pe ho? Apne papa ke saath nahi gaye? Mujhe laga ki tum apne papa ke saath jaaoge!" Jiggy told and placed Ranveer down.
"Huh!? Senior? Mujhe ek din school bunk karne nahi dete hai! Mujhe kya leke jaayenge?" Ranveer told.
"Haha Randhir bhai aise hi hai!" Jiggy told.
"Chachu sorry. Agar bata hota ki aap ho toh main kabhi prank nahi khelta!" Ranveer told and caught his ears.
"Arey it's okay. Mujhe bohot maza aaya!" Jiggy told.
"Toh phirse karu kya?" Ranveer asked pretending innocent.
"Arey nahi nahi," Jiggy shrieked at the thought of plummeting inside the pool again.
"Senior bilkul theek kehte hai!" Ranveer told.
"Ki?" Jiggy asked,
"Aap bohot darpok ho!" Ranveer told and suppressed a smile.
Everyone burst out of laughing.
Jiggy hung his head and smiled at his own timidity.
"Ranveer baba, aap inko unka kamre dikhaoge?" Ramu kaka asked.
"Okay kaka and I swear no masti," Ranveer told, "Follow me."
"Aap kamre dekhlo, tab tak khana lag jaayega!" Ramu kaka told.
He took Jiggy, Kaustuki, Sahil and Vidushi to the rooms on the ground floor and he escorted Sanyukta and Parth to the rooms on the first floor.
"Yaha pe? First floor mein kyu?" Parth asked.
"Dadu ne kaha tha, yesterday," Ranveer replied.
"Ranveer?" Parth called out.
"Haan?" Ranveer exclaimed.
"Where's your dad's room?" Parth asked.
He pointed to one room on the first floor, "That," he replied.
"No wonder uncle asked Ranveer to show us this room," Parth thought.
"Where's yours?" Sanyukta asked out of the blue.
"That," he pointed to a room adjacent to Randhir's.
"Okay," Sanyukta told.
"Kya hua?" Parth asked Sanyukta after Ranveer left.
"I don't know," Sanyukta replied.
Sanyukta loved the kid despite not actually knowing anything about him.
At the dining table -
"Ranveer baba, aao na?" kaka pleaded Ranveer for the fourth time.
"Nahi," Ranveer replied.
"Please?" kaka asked.
"Nahi kaka aap jaao!" Ranveer told.
"Kya hua kaka? Ranveer kyu nahi kha raha?" Jiggy asked concerned. He loved the kid already too.
"Randhir baba," kaka replied and served them food.
"Kya? Randhir? Kaha?" Sanyukta panicked.
"Nahi nahi beta, Randhir baba har Sunday ko Ranveer baba ke liye lunch banate hai aur aaj Randhir baba nahi hai na issiliye wo khana nahi kha rahe hai!" kaka told.
The the landline started ringing. Sanyukta got up to pick it up.
"Don't!" Ranveer shouted.
"Why?" Sanyukta asked.
"It is senior," Ranveer told.
"What? Randhir? How do you know?" Sanyukta asked.
"It's lunch time," Ranveer told.
"Okay I will put it on speaker," Sanyukta told but the the phone stopped ringing by that time.
It rang again.
She put it on speaker.
"Junior?" Randhir told groggily and yawned.
No response.
Sanyukta's heart skipped a beat. She was already feeling guilty and now after listening to his voice it just got worse. She was trying hard not to cry. She wanted to shout 'I am sorry' and break down but she controlled it somehow.
"Junior?" Randhir told again followed by a yawn.
"Hmm," Ranveer told.
"Please khana khao," Randhir begged sleepily.
"You sound sleepy! Why?" Ranveer asked.
"Champ I am in London. It's 2.a.m here," Randhir told.
"Then why did you call?" Ranveer asked.
"Because I know that you won't eat your lunch!" Randhir replied.
"Senior!" Ranveer told.
"Please champ khana kha lo," Randhir told.
"No main nahi khaunga. Sunday lunch aap prepare karte ho na?" Ranveer asked.
"Champ abb mai waha nahi hoon na? Okay, chalo agle Sunday mai do baar khana prepare karunga!" Randhir told.
"Nahi. Abb rishwat deni hai toh kuch zyaada do!" Ranveer told and chuckled.
"Okay fine, Wednesday and Thursday ko bhi mai khana banaunga, okay?" Randhir told.
"Nope," Ranveer told.
"Okay okay, next two weeks tak jab tum bologe tab mai khana banaunga!" Randhir told.
"Okay then I'll eat. Aap jaao so jaao. Goodnight. Bye," Ranveer told.
"Shaitaan!" Randhir told.
"Ha ha ha!" Ranveer laughed devilishly and hung up.
Everyone there started laughing out loud after Ranveer hung up. They were shocked. Randhir Singh Shekhawat is listening to a small baby? They weren't able to digest it.
"Chote baba, kyu Randhir baba ko itna pareshaan karte ho?" kaka asked.
"Birth right. Janm adhikaar!" Ranveer told calmly.
"Tum toh Randhir ke bete hi ho," Vidushi told.
"Aapko doubt tha?" Ranveer asked and helped himself a piece.
"Ranveer tum Randhir ko senior kyu bulaate ho? Papa nai bulate?" Parth asked.
"Bulata hoon na! Jab gussa hota hoon, sirf tab!" Ranveer told.
"Randhir kuch nahi kehta?" Parth asked.
"Arey baba, chote baba ke saamne toh Randhir baba bhi haar maan lete hai!" kaka told.
Night time - (After dinner)
Jiggy and Ranveer were talking and one by one everyone joined them.
"Jiggy chachu, senior college mein kaise the?" Ranveer told breaking the silence.
"Tumhare papa? Woh college ke stud the. Mere bhai the!" Jiggy told.
"Haan, woh toh pata hai issiliye toh mai aapko chachu bulata hoon," Ranveer told.
"Tumhare papa college mein sabse zyaada intelligent the!" Parth told.
"Aapko kaise bata? Aap bhi FITE mein padthe the?" Ranveer asked.
"Haan hum sab FITE mein padthe the," Parth replied.
"Sacchi? Yaha pe Sanyukta hai?" Ranveer asked.
Sanyukta's heartbeats rose.
"K..kyu?" Sanyukta asked. "Why the hell am I stammering now?" she thought.
"Woh aise hi bolo na?" Ranveer asked.
Parth was about to tell but Sanyukta stopped him.
"Nahi pehle tum bolo kyu?" Sanyukta asked.
"Woh senior hamesha unka naam hi lete hai neend mein!" Ranveer replied.
"Kya?" Sanyukta shouted.
"Haan. 'Sanyukta...sanyukta...sanyu...sanyu...sanyukta' bolte the," Ranveer replied mimicking Randhir.
Sanyukta's happiness knew no bounds. Her heart was jumping inside her chest.
"Main Sanyukta hoon," Sanyukta told softly barely audible.
"Aap?" Ranveer told wide-eyed.
"Hmm," Sanyukta told lost.
"Okay chalo mai sone jaa raha hoon. Goodnight," Ranveer told and ran off. He didn't know what to tell.
After Ranveer ran off no one spoke a word. Kaka was passing by them.
"Kaka?" Sanyukta called out.
"Haan beta, kya hua?" kaka asked.
"Kaka, Ranveer ki mumma kaha hai? Dikhi nahi subah se," Sanyukta asked.
"Mumma? Beta Randhir baba ki shaadi nahi hui hai," kaka replied.
"Kya?" Sanyukta shouted.
"Uski shaadi nahi hui hai?" Parth shouted.
"Nahi beta. Issiliye humare ghar mein koi bhi maalkin nahi hai," kaka replied and went away.
"He is not married?" Sanyukta told confused. She was extremely happy. Her happiness knew no bounds.
"Then Ranveer?" Parth told and looked towards Ranveer's room. Everyone were confused. Sanyukta felt miserable. Again she had misunderstood Randhir. She was angry on herself for misunderstanding Randhir twice. She knew she was the reason for the downfall of their relationship. She slouched on the chair holding her forehead. No one uttered a word.
After 30 mins...
After 1 hour...
No one spoke.
Finally, breaking the ice Parth spoke up, "Is he adopted?"
"Par aise kaise ho sakta hai? He is just like Randhir," Kaustuki told.
"Sangatti ka asar ho sakta hai!" Vidushi told.
"Jiggy? Would you like to tell us something?" Parth asked suspecting that he might know anything.
"Arey Parth bhai, mujhe kuch nahi bata! Mujhe toh ye bhi nahi bata tha ki Randhir bhai ka koi beta hai until that day jab maine Ranveer se laptop mein baat ki thi!"
"Pakka?" Parth asked.
"Haan bhai pakka mujhe kuch nahi bata!" Jiggy replied.
Sanyukta silently went up and peeped into Ranveer's room. He was sleeping peacefully without any blanket on with his right hand falling out of the bed. She took out a blanket from the cupboard and was about to cover him but stopped. She noticed Ranveer's right hand. It had a mole near the wrist. She dropped the blanket. After 5mins, she picked up the blanket, covered him and went back to her room.
"Just a coincidence," she thought and slept.
Next morning, BREAKFAST TABLE :
Ranveer slapped his forehead. "Aap sabke naam bhi nai bata mujhe!" Ranveer told, "Sirf Jiggy chachu aur Sanyukta..." he stopped.
"Sanyukta?" Sanyukta asked.
"Aapko kya bulaau?" Ranveer asked innocently.
"Aunty!" Jiggy replied. Sanyukta grimaced looking at Jiggy with a Really-now?' expression.
"Wohi bolne wala tha par bolne ka mann nahi kar raha!" Ranveer told looking at Sanyukta.
"Kyu?" Parth asked.
"I don't know," Ranveer told.
"Okay, abhi ke liye tum mujhe Sanyu bula sakta ho. Koi suffixes ki zaroorat nahi hai! Okay?" Sanyukta told cheerfully. She was trying hard not to cry in front of Ranveer.
"Okay Sanyu. Abb chalo apne apne naam batao!" Ranveer ordered cutely.
"Aapko sachme humare naam nahi bata?" Vidushi asked. She thought Randhir must have told him about his college life.
"Nahi bata. Jaldi jaldi bolo!" Ranveer told.
After the introductions,
"One minute, aap mujhe Jiggy chachu kyu bulate ho?" Jiggy asked.
"Senior kehte hai ki aap unko Randhir bhai bulate ho. Toh agar aap senior ke bhai huye toh aap mere chachu huye na?" Ranveer told.
"Randhir bhai ne aapko sirf mere baare mein bataya?" Jiggy asked hoping the answer would be negative.
"Nahi toh. Bohot saare logo ke baare mein batate hain," Ranveer told, "Mujhe abb jaana hai mai school ke liye late ho raha hoon. Bye," Ranveer told and ran away.
"Ranveer! Yeh toh batake jaao ki kis kis ke bare mein bataya hai unhone?" Jiggy shouted.
"Shaam ko!" Ranveer told and jumped in to the backseat.
There ends my fifteenth chapter :) Thanks for all the support guys. Please let me know what you'll think.
