" Randhir, "
" Hmm? "
" The whole dream team is organising a small welcome party! We treated azan ruthlessly when he had just come. So as a small gesture of apology and togetherness. " parth shrugged.
Randhir widned his eyes.
" Umm.. Does he know? "
" Of course Not. It's meant to be a surprise. "
" And Sanyukta? "
His heart thumped wildly.
Parth looked irritated now.
"What kind of stupid questions are you asking? I said WHOLE DREAM TEAM. AND BY THE WAY, it was her idea only. "
His heart sinked. Down, VERY down.
Why did she have the urge to make him feel special?
Why only she got such ideas?
" Hmm.. "
" Everyone's contributing ." parth spoke awkwardly. He thought randhir would naturally ask about it. But he didn't, so he had to.
" Don't. Its on me. The whole party. "
Parth looked flabbergasted.
******
He deliberately reached the party after two hours.
During those two hours, he had almost received 30 calls from sanyukta and twelve from parth.
He picked up none.
As he entered the venue, his eyes searched her. Only her.
And once again , he was shocked.
He saw her drinking, something what looked like wine, with azan.
No way! She had promised to him that she would only drink with him, or whenever he was around.
Randhir was not angry, he was only getting dejected every second.
Surely she had moved on now.
And why wouldn't she!
*****
Sanyukta still hadn't seen him.
He thought of making a hasty exit when he heard azan say,
" GUYS! I WANT YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! "
Randhir went out of the door and stood there, against the wall.
" Sanyukta, i am head over heels in love with you, will you be my girlfriend? "
He heard the gasps of the guests.
Randhir's breath stuck in throat.
His head was feeling heavy , while his eyes were brimming with water.
This was it!
Unable to stand there anymore, he ran away from there as fast as his legs would take him.
