Mysteries And Miseries...

Why do you get to do this to me Randhir ? Who do you think you are ? , she asked herself as she stared into the dim sky lying on her rooftop. It had been hours since she had isolated herself from the outside world.It was the only place which made her feel existent ,where she felt she was in contol of her life,in her loneliness she found solace.Why did you come back ? You make me weak Randhir.I don't want to be weak.Not anymore, wiping a silent tear which trailed down her pale skin.You need revenge,you need answers and I need my strength.You won't win this time.I'm not weak.

She broke out from her self-motivational thoughts by the sound of the doorbell.He had finally come home."Where do you keep disappearing so often Sameer ? You are home late.You are drunk half the time.Are you hiding something from me ?" , she interrogated .He threw his briefcase at her in response, she fumbled a bit almost falling on the floor but managed to control herself and hold it.

"Sanyukta,this is the first and the last time you are talking to me like this.I don't owe you any explanations.Infact you owe me.You owe me your life." , he smiled victoriously.

"I have been putting up with that since a very long time. You keep blackmailing me into doing your dirty little jobs. ", she bluntly replied.

"Blackmailing ? Is that the word ? I'd put it like returning favours'.I helped you and now you do what I say. You realize your dad's life is in my hands right ? He is alive because of me.One wrong move and everything is over Sanyukta.Remember that."

"So that's how it is going to be ? It'll never be enough right ? I have returned enough Favours'.I even went to an extent of accusing someone of a rape attempt just so that you could win his company.I had to let down the people I loved so much.Only because of you and for your stupid , stupid company." , screaming her lungs out.

Without wasting a second he grabbed her face harshly between his thumb and fingers and shook her."Aaj itna bolna kaha se seekh liya ? Apne naye boss se ?So this is what it is all about."

Her eyes widened in shock, " How ..how did you.. ?"

"I know everything that I need to know.I am sure he doesn't think that high of you anymore or respects you enough to believe anything you say.He is probably going to treat you worse than me.Of course he did already ,Assistant Sanyukta.So I honestly don't care if you work or not as long as my work is getting done but agar tumne kuch ulta seedha karne ki koshish ki you had it.You should be grateful to me.Look I don't even plan on hurting you tonight.",he left her with a thud and found herself on the floor weeping for minutes,hours.He was right ! Kahan aake phas gayi hoon main.Kahan...

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

Next day ,

She was there,walking through the corridor like nothing was wrong or pretending like nothing was wrong.She found herself to be the target of everyone's stares.Dressed in a white formal top tucked into a short black skirt she carried her herself with dignity exchanging pleasantries with other employees. No work is small,there is dignity in labour and looking at her people could believed so.

**Knock Knock**

"Come in !" , still glued to his laptop.

"Reporting for duty,Sir" , she smiled.

His head shot up, turning towards his right he slowly noticed Sanyukta dressed like a typical and stereotypical assistant.He couldn't get his eyes off her,ogling at her from top to bottom with his jaws literally dropped.He still hadn't lost the habit of admiring Sanyukta right in front of her which hadn't got unnoticed by her.She wanted to smile at his antics but then she realized that she wasn't living in the past.This wasn't the Randhir that was hers.

Randhir was brought out of his trance by the snapping of her fingers.

"Uhh..Umm..Late again Farzi ? Uhh I mean Mrs. Sanyukta." , fumbling with his words.

What the hell are you doing Randhir ? Show her who's the boss? You don't love her anymore.Don't let this momentary infatuation get the best of you.

"I was actually rescheduling your meeting which you had apparently forgotten to attend." , she coldly replied.

That hit him.Hit him hard.He walked up to her and pulled her as close to him as possible pinning her hands against her back.

"Don't talk to me like that.Ever Again.Alright ?" , their faces just centimetres apart, their breaths mixing. He stared at her , deep into her eyes finding nothing but pain and anguish. He slowly moved one of his hands into the locks of her hair grabbing them and pulling them backwards exposing the soft skin of her neck.The feeling of having Randhir so close to her scared her.She knew where this was heading.Did she want this ? She just stood there but didn't resist either.He approached her neck slowly,his lips were hovering over her neck.She could feel his hot breath over her neck and she shut her eyes.When Randhir finally went for the kill they were interrupted by a knock on the door. They were both brought out of their reverie and he left her immediately pushing her away coldly.

"Go to your cubicle.NOW." , his tone flaring up.

She not so surprised by his tone walked out of his cabin quietly ignoring to look at him.

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

Lunch Time ,

There was nothing such as a lunch time for Randhir.Time was money for him.He was busy on a call when he heard commotion outside.Everyday at lunch the entire team at the office would huddle up together for lunch , it was the best part of their day.Singing and Dancing, whiling away their time talking and Sanyukta would always participate.He stood at the door of his cabin getting a clear view of what was happening,mostly just wanting getting a clear view of Sanyukta.He watched her leaning against the door folding his arms.She was sitting on her table humming a song and swaying with the beat with her friends.No matter how much pain she was in,coming to work was something she would always look forward to.She'd never mix her personal and professional life.He was still watching her expressionlessly , he didn't know what he wanted to feel anymore.Suddenly his focus shifted towards two other employees who were gaping at the exposed portions of Sanyukta's thighs and whispering to each other and talking about it.Sanyukta was completely ignorant about the intentions of the two co-workers when one of them when conveniently went and sat next to her trying to make physical contact.This made Randhir highly uncomfortable and furious.He walked upto them in agony and their chaos suddenly came to a halt .All of them stood up and and adjusted them putting on their best behaviour infront of their boss.He wasn't looking at anyone except Sanyukta.Without breaking eye contact with her he pointed at the other two employees who were misbehaving with her ," You and you, pack your stuff and get out.Immediately."

"But Sir.." , one of them tried to speak up.

"I SAID GET OUT." , he yelled this time looking at him and grabbing his collar.

The two workers understanding their mistake didn't even try defending themselves and walked out quietly.Sanyukta who was still in a state of shock followed Randhir into his cabin shutting the door behind her.

"What was that?" , she questioned.

He facing his back towards her, "You will work in my cabin henceforth. No getting out of here."

"What? You can't do that ! " , she retorted.

"Don't mess with me Sanyukta.And don't wear all this rubbish to office from now on.", louder this time.

"Excuse me? You cannot tell me what to wear and what not to.Who the hell do you think you are?You are not my husband.I will wear what I want.I am your assistant not your puppet.I don't know what you think...", she retaliated louder than him.

"SANYUKTAAA..." , he shut her up frustrated of her ceaseless chattering.He sprinted towards her and banged her to the wall.Grabbing her shoulders he kissed her with ferocity

"Just shut up.You are mine.And you'll listen to me." and went back to kissing her with the same intensity.

His hands moving continuously all over her waist and back.She didn't stop him, reasons unknown to her.She'd be lying if she said she didn't want to feel him again after all those years.He started kissing her all over her neck and shoulders with urgency and at the same time removing her blouse which was tucked into her skirt.He was annoyed as he was struggling to get them out and groaned .Suddenly Sanyukta was brought back into reality.She pushed him away with all her force and succeeded in doing so.For the first 30 seconds she held him in a strong eye-lock.But then reality struck him too.

"You see Sanyukta ? This is what will happen if you don't listen to me.So don't mess with me again.",flashing off his signature smirk covering up for his uncontrollable urge to touch her.

Sanyukta just let out a fake laugh in her head,laughing at herself for leading herself to believe that Randhir did all of that out of feelings that he had for her.She collected herself , adjusted her clothes and slowly walked out of his cabin.

Randhir face turned from victory to dejection in a matter of seconds.He didn't want her to react this way.He wanted her to yell at him.Or wanted her to reciprocate the same way she did during their first hate-kiss in college.He just wanted her to react but he failed to get any reaction out of her.He was himself confused about what he wanted her to feel for him.But her not even having a tad bit of feeling towards him made him feel miserable.On the other hand what about his feelings ? That kiss they shared a minute ago did not lack passion.Did it resurface some feelings inside Randhir ? Possessiveness, jealousy , passion were all being invoked inside of him and it was just Day 1.

What about Dad? I can't do this to him.I can't lose focus.I need justice.Sanyukta aaj toh tum bach gayi, but not henceforth.You'll suffer Sanyukta.I won't let you go so easily.Not this time,beginning his vandalism over the office furniture.
