PART 22

Tryna tell me that I'm just like the others

But I ain't all bad

I might make you mad

So mad, my bad

But I ain't all bad

~ Justin Bieber, All Bad (Journals)

"Ma'am, remember, I'd promised that I'd make Sanyukta normal again?" Dr. Ananya nodded, so I continued "I'm friends with her but I don't really know how to do it as I don't really know what the things that are worrying her are."

"Gain her trust, she'll tell you" she said matter-of-factly.

"I know, but that will take so much of time"

"There is no other way, Randhir" she said, slowly. I nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I should have listened to her. She was right. This way wasn't right." It felt like my legs were too weak to take my weight anymore. I fell and sat on the floor. "She's gone."

"What?" Parth looked at me confused. He walked toward me and kept his hand on my shoulder, to show support.

"Dr. Ananya had told me that the only way to help Sanyukta was to gain her trust, but see, I've lost it. She's gone, Parth. She left me." I cried, not caring anymore about my ego and my cloaked strength.

Parth smirked. "When were you together that she'll leave you?"

"But, Parth ..." I started but stopped as I couldn't find anything to justify my words. I looked down on the floor and let the tears roll down. He continued.

"And, since when has Randhir Singh Shekhawat started caring about people being with him or people leaving him?" He held my arm and made me stand. I still looked down.

"Why don't you just admit that you love her? You think you are too screwed up? Guess what, she's too. How can you term a girl in love with machines rather than cosmetics normal, anyway?" he joked and I smiled.

"She loves you very much, Randhir. Don't let her go! You deserve her, believe me. And, she does deserve you, don't worry. She's the only one who can cure your emptiness and you're the only one who can cure her depression..."

I don't know what he said ahead because I was already running toward the girls' hostel.

I climbed to her room but she wasn't there. No one was. Where could she be?

Oh! How foolish of me! Where else!

Parth's P.O.V.

I smiled as Randhir ran out of the room. Finally!

My phone ringed. It was Vidhushi.

"Hello? Vidhushi?"

"Uhm, hi, Parth! I know it's too soon, but still. What did you decide?"

"Vidhushi, I told you I'm unsure. Sure I like you. But, I'm really dubious about love and relationships. It feels like I'm cheating Arpita."

"You're not. Won't you have wanted her to move on if it was the other way round?"

"Vidhushi, I need some time. Anyway, I'm just so tensed right now."

"Tensed? Why? What happened?" Her tone was caring.

"Randhir loves Sanyukta. Sanyukta loves him too."

"What? Really? Wow! I never knew that!" She was definitely trying to think about all those times when they acted like they were in love. "Yes, you're right! Randhir has always cared! That party and all! How could I miss it? But, wait. It's a good thing right? Why are you tensed then?"

"Because, to make Sanyukta..uhm..feel special, Randhir had stole her personal diary. You know, to know what she likes/hates etc. Somehow, she got to know about it and now she thinks Randhir was...uhm... making fun of her, kinda."

"Oh, f**k!"

"Huh?"

"Shit, shit, shit! I had seen that diary on his table and messaged her. I'm so so sorry Parth. I was just trying to help. If I had known this, I wouldn't have ever -"

"What the...! Agh, Vidhushi! What have you done!"

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to -"

"I'll talk to you later."

"Wait, Parth!"

"Bye." I disconnected the call. God! This girl!

Randhir's P.O.V.

I reached the mechanical lab and saw Sanyukta working on a machine. After every few seconds, she'd wipe the tears and crinkle her nose. I quietly went and stood by her side. She felt my presence. We remain silent. But, she finally broke the ice. With sharp, hurting words.

"You know, Randhir, I always thought you were a male chauvinist pig. But I never knew you were heartless stone, too. Thanks for telling me that," she said in the most calm tone you can imagine.

"Sanyukta, it is not what you think it is," I replied in a calm tone, too.

"Then, tell me what it is?" And, she started crying. "I trusted you the most in the world, Randhir. Yes, I love you. But you know I hate myself for that! I hate myself for loving you! I hate myself! How could I even think that you'll change? That inside you are gold of a person? That inside you have the purest heart? I was wrong! I wish I could hate you! I wish I could hate you! You don't deserve anyone! Why am I such an idiot?"

"Listen, Sanyukta," I said, calmly.

"I wish I hadn't fallen in love with you."

"Listen, Sanyukta," I said, again a little louder this time.

"I was so wrong! How could you? You never felt bad? Never felt ashamed?"

"Listen, Sanyukta!" I shouted. She finally shut up. At last, she did listen.

"That's the problem with you feminists," I said angrily. "You can go behind me, talk to my mother and try to make things okay. But that's okay. Because you did it because you care for me, because you love me. But when for the same reasons, I try to take you out of depression I'm a chauvinist who plays with feelings?"

I had expected a comeback but she was there, staring at me with the weirdest expression. It was a mixture of shock and surprise, maybe.

"What?" I asked.

"What did you say?" she asked.

"That how can you term me as a chauvinist for -"

"No, no. Before that."

"That you're a feminist?"

"No, after that."

"That you can help me with my mother because you care and love me, but when I do it for the same reasons ..." I stopped as I realized what I had said.

"What same reasons, Randhir?" she asked, finally smiling.

I closed my eyes and faced her. I drew a long breath. "I love you, Sanyukta Aggarwal."

She didn't reply. So, I opened my eyes. She was still crying, but now had a smile. I smiled, too.

"I don't know how, when and where, but I fell for you. To be honest the plan was to take you out of depression only, because I felt responsible for your condition. But during that, when it happened I don't know. I fell in love with you and I don't have regrets. But, I still think, you'll regret loving me -"

I couldn't complete as my lips were captured by hers. I was shocked, in a good way. I kissed her back but my phone ringed. I ignored it but she pulled away. I sighed as I took it out of my pocket.

"Argh! What's with the males of the city? Yesterday, I kissed you and that cab driver came in between. Today, I kissed you and this Parth had to call!"

She looked away, blushing. "Pick it, already," she murmured.

I made a face and picked it up.

"What?" I asked, irritated.

"Please tell me everything is okay between you two," Parth said.

"Yes, everything is fine. Actually, everything would have been great if you wouldn't have called."

"What?" he asked confused.

"Nothing. Meet me on the terrace in, uhm, 20 minutes. I gotta tell you something."

"Why not now?"

"Because now, I'm with Sanyukta! Cut the call!"

"Wow! You got the girl doesn't mean you'll ignore me! Traitor!" I cut the call before he could start abusing me. I knew he wasn't serious.

I looked at Sanyukta. She hugged me. "I love you!"

"I love you, too!" I replied.

"I love you!" she repeated and I repeated it too. We kept on repeating those three words for the next fifteen minutes and then, we started giggling on ourselves.

"Gonna tell Parth about us?" she asked.

"Actually, he has always been a part of this all?"

"Really?" she asked, mouth open.

"Yeah!" I ruffled my hair.

"You know what; I'll just text Vidhu and Kaustu to meet us on the terrace too! We'll tell them too!"

"Cool, I'll text Jiggy too! Let's tell them all," I said and she agreed.

We texted and then she held my hand. "Chalien?"

I smiled and nodded. We turned toward the door and stopped, leaving each other's hand.

There, on the door, was Vardhan sir. Eyes slightly wet and a bunch a flowers in the hand.
