The mobile vibrated under the pillow. Randhir woke up with a start. He switched off the reminder in the mobile. He hadnt put an alarm as he dint want to disturb Jiggy. About his other roommate, well he hardly cared.
It showed just 4:30 in the clock. Randhir got up and went to the cupboard to get his clothes.
He then quickly bathed.
"I need to get there on time. Akhir kisi ko pata toh chale ki sab uski tharah late nahi hote" he smirked. He got his mobile and left the room.
10 minutes later he was on his way towards Sanyukta's grooming class on his bike.
Aaj toh FITE mein bhi holiday hai. Aaj toh use khub pareshan karunga. Thoda late ruka bhi dunga classes ke baad. Anyways she doesn't have any work in college. Bas jakar voh looser captain Parth se hi chipak jayegi. He thought.
He reached the class at exact 5. Puctuality. Randhir Singh Shekawat is never late. Especially not where you are concerned Aggarwal, he thought as he parked his bike and rang the bell.
"Namaste Hema ji." He said as soon as the door was opened.
"Arre aap aa gaye. Aaiye aandar aaiye Aap baithiye mein paani lati hun."
Randhir sat down on the sofa. "Stupid woman. I just came and blabbered something about being from a big company who is interested to invest in her classes and yeh toh mujhe VIP treatment dene lagi. Aaj tak company ka name bhi janane ki koshish nahi ki. These women..Inka koi bharosa nahin.Atleast farzi itni dumb toh nahin hai." he thought as he remembered the day when he had come to take Sanyukta back to college for the dream team task on Vardhan sir's order.
He remembered how he had reached here and he had seen her in a red saree.
"Beautiful." The word escaped from his mouth as soon as images of the saree wrapped around her petite figure flashed in front of his eyes.
"Ji shukriya." The voice interrupted his thought's as Randhir got out of his dream world.
He realised his surroundings where Hema ji was showing him some embroidery work ddone on the sarees by the girls in the class.
"Aap ne sikhaya hai tabhi toh itna acha kiya hai in logon ne. Sach mein aap bohot talented hai."
He praised her faking a smile.
"Iss mein koi badi baat nahin. Aap baithiye mein aap ke liye nashta lati hoon." Saying so she left.
He checked his watch. It was 6:30
"Aaj yeh farzi thodi jyada hi late nahi kar rahi.
Lagta hai kal ki vajah se bohot irritate ho gayi hai. He smirked remembering what had happened yesterday.
Flashback
He had come to the class and was not leaving a single opportunity to irritate Sanyukta.
With the excuse of checking how the girls did all the work he had made her wash all his dirty smelly clothes which he had got along. She then had even ironed them.
"Thanks farzii. Ab mujhe kuch dino tak college mein kapde dhone ki chinta nahin karni padhega. He had taunted her.
"Just get lost Randhir. Dusro ki majburi ka fayde koi tumse uthana sikhe." She had shot back.
In order to irritate her further he had organised a salad making competiton between her and another girl named Prerna. The condition set was whoever lost the competition would have to put fall' in 10 sarees. He had seen her struggling with the fall thing' during the sewing class and ha purposely set up this condition.
Ofcourse Sanyukta had lost the competition as he knew from the start and she came back to college in the afternoon with 10 sarees.
As she walked in the passage way she saw a lot of students around the student notice board. She was horrified. There were pictures of her washing clothes stuck all over the board.
Randhir had secretly managed to click her pictures when she had been washing his clothes.
"Randhir Singh Shekawat, you are so dead."
She knew where he would be. She went straight to the library. There he was all alone sitting and reading some book.
"Randhir. You bloody mcp. What is your problem? Why cant you just let me live in peace."
"Calm down Aggarwal. Lagta hai kal se manners and etiquettes ki bhi class leni padhegi." He spoke without looking up from the book.
"Listen Randhir.Enough is enough. There are already a lot of problems in my life. You stay away from me and don't create more."
He shut the book and got up from his place and came close to her and spoke, "Look at yourself Sanyukta. You are such a mess. Bal bikhre bikhre, yeh swollen eyes. You look so tired. You should take care of yourself. After all 1 month mein thumari engagement hai. His signature smirk was back on his face.
"You know what Randhir. Among all these problems there is just one good thing. Yeh engagement mere liye kuch toh accha karegi. I wont have your great presence in my life anymore. Fir kabhi bhi mujhe thumari shakal nahi dekhni badegi. You wont exist for me anymore." She spoke looking straight in his eyes and then went away towards her hostel.
Flashback Ends
"Mujhse picha chutana itna easy nahin hai." He thought.
It was 7 now. She was very late.
"Lagta hai saree mein fall lagate lagate late soi hogi."
2 hours later...
What the hell!! Its 9 now. Itna late.
All the other girls were working. "Main inn sab ko dekhne itna subeh subeh yahan nahi aaya tha. Main toh thume dekhne ... i mean irritate karne aaya tha."
Randhir was getting restless.
He went to Hema ji and said, " Ji aaj apki voh student Sanyukta Ji nahin aayi?"
"Aaree voh. Kal raat koh uski maa ka call aya tha ki voh aajse classes nahin aayegi."
What. Sanyukta left the classes. All of a sudden. But why..
"Ji aise achanak se kyu chod diya unhone? He asked.
"Voh sab toh mujhe nahin pata. Acha mujhe kuch kaam hai, mein 1 minute mein ayi." Saying so she left.
Randhir took out his cell and called her up. But her cell was coming unavailable.
"Maybe she might have said something to Prerna."
Prerna had become a good friend of Sanyukta in the classes.
He searched for Prerna and found her outside in the garden. She was talking to someone on the phone.
Thinking it might be Sanyukta he went near her so that he could hear her conversation.
"Tum mere sath aisa nahin kar sakte. Tumne toh kaha tha tum mujhse pyaar karte ho.
Fir ab dusri ladki se shaddi. Par tum .. bilkul nahin...
Kyat um mujhe paise de rahe ho tumhe bhulne ke liye. Tu jaisa gira hua insaan maine aaj tak nahin dekha. Main tumhari asliyat sabko data dungi...Hello ..Hello..."
Randhir was shocked hearing all this. He saw her stare at her phone. He then saw her as she broke down. He felt bad for her.
"Prerna ji, aap thik toh hain? Aagar koi problem hai and if i can help you in it, pls let me know."
Randhir acted as if he was very indifferent to everyone but actually he couldn't see anyone in trouble.
"Ji voh actually jis ladke see meri shadi hone wali thi voh ab mujhse shaddi nahi karna chahta. "she spoke crying harder.
"Usse koi bade ghar se rishta aaya hai isliye voh mere sath aisa kar raha hai. Mujhe toh apne aap par itna gussa aa raha hai ki maine aise insaan se pyaar kiya jiske liya paise jyada important hain.
Par ab main kya karun ? Mere parents ne toh shadi ki taiyariyan bhi shuru kar di hai.Cards bhi baat diyen hai.
Aab agar yeh shadi nahin hui toh papa seh nahin payenge."
Randhir placed his hand lightly on her shoulder and gave her assurance that they will find a solution.
"Mujhe uska number do. Main baat karta hun usse."
"Yeh hai voh", she spoke looking in her phone.
Randhir took the phone from her and as soon as he looked at the photo displayed he was shocked.
The guy in the photo was of none other than Sameer who was Sanyukta's fiance.
