"Let's Give It A Chance"
Part 14
Even with the continuous staring from the driver who was probably in his late 40's Randhir held Sanyukta's hand . It was Delhi after all and people were not as understanding as they were in New York .
They may have aged and got used to technology but they still cringed at public display of affection. This didn't bother them both ,even if her breathing had been abnormal when she entered the taxi ,Randhir looked her in the eye and that was it she didn't fear the driver anymore, Sanyukta relaxed herself,she felt safe with him . She wasn't weak but she couldn't even handle that situation,because such situations should not exist . She was in her own thoughts when two loud growling sounds were heard which got both Randhir and Sanyukta in fits of laughter.
Even after with all the hygiene the roadside vendors had these two couldn't take the spice the sauce had . The sound wasn't enough,soon stomachache took over them.
"Randhir my stomach hurts bad?"
Sanyukta said clutching her stomach .
"Mine too " he replied with a bit of composure.
"That sauce!" They said in unison.
They knew what was coming next they need to use the loo as soon as possible.
The driver parked the car outside their house. They hopped off and rushed back home handing him the money and grabbing their luggage.
"Keep the change"
They shouted in unison didn't even let the driver take in what happened.
"Stupid youngsters" the driver fumed.
They laughed and rushed inside the house ,they didn't even meet their families and barged into Sanyukta's room . Randhir threw the luggage once inside and rushed into the loo , all thanks to his super fast running skills leaving Sanyukta flabbergasted. She fumed clutching her stomach.
"I will kill you Randhir" she shouted on the top of her lungs .
"Oh baby you can't" sang Randhir from inside the washroom.
" You are not talking to me sitting on that commode. Are you ? "
She questioned with a look of disgust over her face .
"What if I am?"
Replied Randhir with a fit of laughter.
" You are disgusting"
She stomped her foot and took a look at her surroundings. Her room was exactly the way she had left it . Nothing at all was moved , it was all tidy and just the she had kept her room . Her lips instantly formed a curve . She heard the bathroom door being unlatched, it brought her out of her thoughts and made her rush inside only to collide with his chiselled chest and land into his strong grip . She was shooting draggers at him till the time she realised he was shirtless. His body was all well maintained, his six pack abs and then the V line . Her reverie was broken with his words.
"Like what you see?"
"Isn't someone being cocky here ?"
She replied glaring at him.
"Oh! That is why you are in love with this position ."
Mocked back Randhir.
She straightened herself and latched the door after pushing him out and finished with her business.
She glanced in the mirror and observed her disheveled state . Her Kohl was all smudged , her hair poking at weird places , and not to forget the dark circles under her eyes . She was sure jet lagged . She splashed some water on her face . It felt so good that she decided to take a shower. She turned on the geyser and slipped out of her clothes . Once she stepped under the shower she felt a boost of freshness take over her . She stood their for almost half an hour , she would have stayed their longer but Randhir started banging the door .
" What do you want ?"
She asked pissed , he just stole her relaxation from her , what else could he possibly expect from her .
"Mom called us downstairs."
He replied and the reality hit her . They didn't even meet them and rushed in here how rude of them .
She dried herself and realised, she had nothing to wear in here all her clothes were packed and there was no robe in here, she had even put her clothes from earlier into wash . She was in daze . She couldn't get out of here in this hand towel she had used to dry herself of . In short she was struck inside the bathroom with no clothes at all and to add some amazing toppings her room was not empty , she couldn't go out with him being their. She thought about for a while and decided upon something
"Randhir?"
She called out for him.
" Do you plan of coming out anytime soon it's been 15 minutes from the time u said you were stepping out"
He replied irritated.
"What if you go downstairs and I will join you later ? "
She asked politely with a bit of hope he might go down.
" For you to know I would have done it quite earlier but I don't want our parents wondering that I left my wife up here and didn't even wait for her"
He replied as a matter of fact.
"Why do you have to be so adamant and difficult Randhir?"
She asked to herself but in the corner of her heart she knew he was right and it was no fun arguing with him , he won't just go down without her.
She gulped down and decided to play brave.
"Okay Randhir listen I am struck in here "
She finally said it out loud.
"Is the latch struck or something? Do you want me to break it."
He replied confused.
"God Randhir this is when you have to play all dumb" she spoke to herself.
"No ..no nothing like that actually..."
"Actually what Sanyukta?"
"Okay listen I came in here and then I washed my face it felt so good so I decided to take a shower and now I don't have clothes in here "
She said in a go . Her cheeks were red and she felt so embarrassed. He controlled his laughter as he didn't want to mess with her now else she won't even take his help
"How can I help you?"
He asked getting concerned as the weather was cold and she might fall ill.
"Can you get me some clothes from my luggage. Only if it's okay with you"
Her eyes were closed permanently during the whole conversation .
"Sure now tell me where have you put up the stuff ?"
"Umm.."
"Answer Sanyukta it's okay "
"My jeans are in the right side and sweaters are just next to it and..."
She again slurred ..
"Where is your bra and underwear Sanyukta?"
He had to ask it by himself as she was in no mood to tell him . But his question made her all warm and crimson .She didn't knew he would ask that , it just came out of the blue.
"Umm my "
"Never mind I got them, nice collection by the way "
He joked and it didn't help her either , she was so flushed she thanked God there was a door in between them and he couldn't see her face.
He got her clothes and knocked on the door .She unlatched the door and took the clothes by sliding out her hand ,their fingers brushed and sent butterflies down their stomachs.
She looked at her clothes and her mouth was hung open when she saw what he had given her . A lacy bra she thought to herself. Without wasting more time she got dressed and combed her unruly hair . She looked better than earlier . She didn't put up any makeup and got outside. He was standing outside with a mischievous grin plastered on his face but before he could speak a word they were called downstairs again. She thanked her luck again for being in her favor . They rushed downstairs only to find the hall filled with so many guests . They looked at each other and sighed . Even after being brought up in India they never liked the idea of being surrounded with their so called relatives . Even with the crowd surrounding their parents they spotted them and rushed to them . They gave everyone a bone crashing hug and their relatives just looked at them like they were some people to gawk at. Sanyukta looked at Randhir and he too shared the same look as her's.
They were not even seated when one of Randhir's aunt started mocking Sanyukta.
"Look Shikha Sanyukta is not even wearing any make up , you look way better than her God knows what Randhir saw in her"
Randhir took hold of Sanyukta's hand and dragged her with him in front of his aunt .
" I don't think if that's any of your business but my wife looks way better than daughter even without any make up , and if I am not wrong she has all her face caked up with so much make up. Don't ever compare her with my Sanyu"
Sanyukta felt proud of Randhir being her husband then , they might have differences but still he was always there for her no matter what , he always stood by her .
She still remembered the day when Sanyukta's aunt had asked Sanyukta to go change her knee length dress as according to her she was asking for it and being s**tty . And she had done it all in front of him . How could she call her girl such names on the basis of how she dressed. It was entirely Sanyukta's choice to dress in whatever she likes without being judged.
He had held Sanyukta by her wrist and she had tears in her eyes.
He pushed her behind him and glared T her aunt .
"She can dress the way she wants and I am her fiance, I don't have any problem with it , she doesn't have any problems and not even her parents who are you to judge her, she will go like this only ,if you have any problem get it fixed"
She had smiled on this gesture of his.
She got out of her trance and looked at him he was still the same.
The question still haunts her why did he even leave her ? She wanted answers but not now she would let things go with the flow now . She tightened her grip on his hand and gestured him to stop .
"It's okay Randhir"
He relaxed and dragged her away form that aunt of his .
Precap:India is sure going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride...
