One sunny Sunday morning , Sanyukta was sleeping over at Shekhawat Mansion ,when she woke up on the constant ringing of her mobile. She stretched her eyes open and looked at the name flashing on the screen , before answering it.

"Ummm...Maa... ", she said in her sleepy voice . "Itni subah Kyon call kiya ??"

" Itni Subah ??? Sanyu - subah ke 10 baj rahe hai ... Aur waise bhi , Teri Dadi Bua , jo kal Shaam ki  train se aane wali thi , aaj subah wali flight liye pahunch chuki hai . "

"What????", sanyu sat up with a jolt.

"Yes. She was asking asking about you. And you know how conservative she is ?? She will get really angry and start bursting on me  , if she gets to know that you are still sleeping that too in the neighbour's house.So, I had to lie and tell her that you went to mandir . "

"Don't worry Maa.. I'll be there in half n hour."

"Aur haan sun.. Kuch dhang ke kapde pehen ke aana, warna unhe shak hojayga. Woh  hall mein hi baithi hui hai."

"Theek hai Maa, bye" , she disconnected the call and started shaking the blithesome soul ,sleeping peacefully by her side with her head buried under the pillows and her quilt on the floor.

"Raima!!!Raima ..uth na..",
she chipped shaking her friend more.

"Hmmmmm..Sanyu ", Raima replied in her sleepy voice. "Soney de naaaa.."

"Raima...get up na yaar. Aur jaldi se mujhe apni ek churidar de . I can't go home in these clothes "

"What??? ", Raima got up in a sitting position and frowned in confusion.
"Tujhe apne hi ghar janey ke liye meri Churidar Kyon chahiye."

"It's a long story. Main tujhe baad mein bataongi. Lekin abhi main jo bolrahi hoon utna kar"

"Fine", Raima shrugged and  walked upto the cupboard to give her a churidar. She picked out a pink churidar suit and forwarded it to Sanyu.

"Nai nai... Yeh wali nai . Yeh backless hai"

"Theek hai to phir yeh wali pehen le ", Raima chipped handing her a blue sleeveless suit.

"Nai yaar .Yeh wali toh sleeveless hai."

"Accha toh yeh wali theek hai?? Yeh na sleeveless hai aur na backless ", she said giving her a yellow suit."

"Nai yaar .. Yeh bhi nai. .. Iska neckline bahut deep hai"

"Ab mere paas jitne bhi hai , bas yahi hai... Tujhe pehenna hai to pehen warna mujhe soney de. Mujhe waise bhi bhot neend aarahi hai..", Raima chipped in irritation and went back to her side of bed.

Sanyu felt guilty as the realisation dawned her. She went upto her and chipped,"I'm sorry yaar. Tu aise gussa mat Ho. Galati Meri hai... Actually, baat yeh hai ki.....", she tells her everything .

"Oh!!! Toh tune mujhe yeh pehle Kyon nai bataya... "

"Ab to bata diya na... Ab Kya Karen???"
They both sat in the same position thinking..

"Idea..", Raima chipped all of a sudden with excitement .

"Kya???", Sanyukta frowned.

"You can wear this pink backless suit and let your hair loose. Aise mein tu sundar bhi lagagi aur sanskaari bhi", Raima said winking at her , while sanyu smiled .
"Ab chal , tu apne daant dikhna band kar aur jaldi se ready hoja , main abhi aati hoon .", saying this Raima went out of the room slamming the door behind her while Sanyu strode towards the bathroom.

A few minutes later , Sanyu came out, with all her hair on one side of her neck. She stood in front of the mirror , struggling with the dori of her backless suit .She had her head down and eyes fixed on the wooden surface of dressing table ,while her mind was concentrating on tying the dori at the back . Just then ,she heard a knock on the door.

"You can come inside yaar, sab kuch tera hi toh hai..",she said wondering why Raima is knocking when she always comes inside directly.
She heard the knob getting turned and the tapping of footsteps, which seemed to be approaching her, had suddenly come to a halt.

"Ab wahan thehrey kya dekh rahi hai, jaldi se aa aur mujhey yeh dori tie karne main help kar. Kab se try kar rahi hoon ----", her breath got hitched in her throat, as she lifted her eyes and saw the reflection of the person standing right behind her. Her cheeks had turned deep pink , matching the colour of the suit she was wearing. She immediately turned around in reflex, without realising the fact that her bare back could now , be clearly seen through the mirror.

"Ummm.... Errr.... W-Woh .... Acc..  Actually.... I...", he stammered gawking at her.

As the realisation struck her, she immediately flipped her hair backwards to cover it. He closed his eyes immediately at the same instant and chipped ,"I'm sorry" , he turned around and walked  towards the door. Then something struck him, he stopped in the middle of the room and said,
"Woh mujhe laga Raima hai.... Isiliye andar aagaya . Mujhey nahi pata tha ke tum yaha ho... Please don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to scare you."
He strode away out of the room, while she stood there numb , looking at the floor , not knowing how to react.

Sanyukta couldn't  say what she was exactly feeling at the moment. She was happy that he  spoke to her  for the very first time yet she was embarrassed for being in such a situation with him . Her heart was beating madly while she blushed profusely ..
