Chapter Twenty Seven

"Mom wants to meet you" randhir said and a wave of silence and strange nervousness engulfed them.

"Is that must?" sanyukta spoke after a minute

"Inevitable" randhir said

"What time?" she sounded stressed

"8 pm"

"What for?"

"Donno" randhir shrugged casually, and then they both fell silent.

Randhir knew the reason why his mom wants to meet her, but he acted all innocent when sanyukta asked the reason because, he wanted to see her all tensed like a typical girlfriend who was about to meet her boyfriend's parents. And he got what he wanted. Sanyukta was all tensed right from the moment randhir told her about the meeting. She skipped her office and sat on the bed wondering what might be the reason and drawing speculations on outcome. She was silent right from the morning and randhir was having fun watching those different shades in her. However at 2 in the afternoon when randhir walked up to her with a plate full of sandwiches, he got to see another shade of sanyukta.

"Oh my god! I've nothing to wear" she freaked out suddenly when randhir was about to settle beside her, and her scream scared the shit out of him, literally.

"I can't wear anything casual and end up looking like a maid" she clutched his shoulders and shook him hard

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! sanyukta!" randhir tried to stop her but it was too late that all the sandwiches were on floor. Randhir looked up at her to say something but was interrupted by her "take me to shopping" she screamed yet again, holding all her stray locks in her palms and resting her head on the edges of them. Randhir smiled at her mad antics because he found her super cute when she acts all mad.

Around three in the afternoon, randhir took her out for shopping and their shopping spree lasted for pretty four hours and ended with half a dozen sarees and with a bill of two lakh, sanyukta went hysterical when she got to select those six sarees, even after returning home, she kept on trying those six sarees repeatedly trying to chose the best, just that she wanted look all wanted and dignified in front of randhir's parents.

With randhir's help, she finally chose a white saree with a red blouse and she really looked damn pretty in it.

"Are you sure?" she asked a zillionth time standing in front of mirror and checking herself. randhir nodded, showing her his wrist watch, which was indicating seven forty five in the evening. She made a face and walked up to him.

"Why can't we plan it some other day?" she asked leaning on to him, adjusting his collar, whilst he had his hands on her waist, and his eyes on her lips.

"Because, I can't wait anymore to get married to you" he winked and pecked her lips, as he pulled back she just held him and kissed him deeper that they ran out of their breathe in a couple of minutes. They broke the kiss and exchanged a warm smile before they left for his parents place.

The dinner with randhir's parents went smoother than what she expected it to be. All randhir parents want was his happiness and they had seen him happy with sanyukta. They readily agreed to their marriage and wanted it to happen right that weekend, but it was randhir who convinced them to post pone it at least for a month. For no specific reason though. However they agreed with him and let it be.

Around ten in the night, sanyukta and randhir took leave from his parents and drove back to their place all the way bubbling with joy and happiness. It was eleven in the night by the time they reached their place and sanyukta couldn't dam her overwhelming feelings and her happiness. She hugged him tight, crushing his bones to powder, as they entered the lift.

"kya?" he suppressed his smile and asked her. There was a glint of mischief in her eyes, she looked at him in eye and winked. Randhir was puzzled and was watching her in bewilderment; sanyukta smirked and pressed the stop button in the lift that the lift stopped abruptly, somewhere between the odd and even floors of her office building. Naughty shade eh— he thought ant tried to press the button again, but his attempt turned futile when sanyukta came in between him and the switch board, pecking his lips.

"whaaat????" he widened his eyes,

"As if you don't know what?" she simpered opening his shirt buttons

"You want us to make out in the lift???" randhir acted all innocent and shocked. By the time she undid the first three buttons that it revealed his bare, broad perfectly chiseled chest.

"Confined spaces you see." She smiled her sexiest, leaning forward on to him and kissing his ear.

Randhir grinned and pulled down the sleeve of her blouse, it revealed the strap of her inner. A mischievous smirk appeared on his face. He pulled it to the extent and left it, the elastic retracted back and it hurt her bare shoulder.

"Idiot," she punched him in ribs and pushed him back but randhir bounced back with the speed double of it and locked her arms to the lift walls. They both exchanged romantic smiles as randhir indulged himself in exploring her neck, nibbling the skin down to her shoulder line. Sanyukta freed herself and wrapped her arms round his frame, pulling him much closer into her. It was then that randhir's mobile buzzed loudly disturbing their intimacy.

"abbe... ab kaun?" randhir, irritated, pulled his mobile out and the screen flashed 'parth bhai calling.' The frown on randhir's face replaced with an nostalgic smile that he attended the call,

"bhai...." He shrieked.

Sanyukta was watching him, adjusting her clothes and collecting their things. She turned the lift button on and it started to move.

"Hmm. Okay... ab... ummm.... Ok... will be there in 10 minutes" randhir spoke and hung up. By that time they reached the eighth floor and were there in front of the door of their apartment.

Sanyukta raised her brows in askance while randhir said "have to meet a friend urgently dear. Sorry" he pecked her lips "will be back soon" saying so, he left for parths' apartment.
