' N....No... Who said that t..to you ? ' Sanyukta
stammered looking at Kaustuki in astonishment.
' Love doesn't hide when hidden Sanyu . It was
visible in your eyes when you were talking about
him . ' Kaustuki smiled.
Sanyukta was about to say something when her
phone buzzed, it was a call from Randhir . ' Hello
' she chipped. ' Meet of at parking area in 15
minutes. We are going home' he hanged up before
Sanyukta could answer him. ' Your hubby missing
his wifey ? ' Kaustuki teased. ' Haha not funny '
Sanyukta huffed unlatching the door. ' Sanyukta.
Speak your heart before its late ' kaustuki winked
at her. Sanyukta walked through the corridors
thinking about kaustuki's words. ' Am I in love
with Randhir ' she asked herself when she reached
the parking. She saw Randhir near the car and
walked to him.
He shifted his gaze from his phone when he felt
her presence . He looked up to see her standing
before him with her lips curved into a smile. His
desire for tasting those lips burnt with more
intensity with her tempting smile adding fuel to it.
He hushed away those desires before they start to
lose their sanity. ' Yahan khadi khadi pagalon ki
tarah smile kyu kar rahi ho ? Gaadi mein baithne
ke liye special invitation chaiye ? ' he frowned. '
Me in love with this guy ? Never ' she huffed in
mind and sat inside the car after returning his
frown with interest . They were on the way to their
home, Randhir was busy steering the car on the
lonely road and Sanyukta was busy staring at the
path side from the window. ' I won't cook today '
she said breaking the silence. ' Ok we will manage
with restaurant food. Where do you want to go ?'
Randhir stopped the car and was going to change
their route back to some restaurant. ' Stop. I
know a place, you won't need to steer back' she
smiled . ' But I don't think there is any restaurant
that way ' Randhir asked confused . ' You don't
trust me ? ' Sanyukta faked a pout. ' Fine. Lets go
' Randhir huffed and started the engine. ' Randhir
lagta hai baarish hogi ' Sanyukta said feeling the
cool monsoon breeze. ' Oh! Hello Miss Weather
Reporter stop giving mausam ka haal ' Randhir
chipped. ' Its Mrs. ' Sanyukta huffed and resumed
to her road watching activity. ' Stop ! ' Sanyukta
screamed. Randhir applied the brakes with a jerk
and yelled ' Kya hua ?' ' Our dinner ' Sanyukta
winked pointing at an oily food shop. ' Tumhe
yahan khana hai ? ' Randhir exclaimed. Sanyukta
nodded a yes. ' But its dusty ' Randhir made a
face. ' Doesn't matter. By the way tum ladkiyon
jaise behave kyu kar rahe ho ? Pehle toh bada ye
bolte the ke ladkiyan bada nakhra karti hain. Ab
nakhre kaun kar raha hai ? ' she cocked her
eyebrows. ' Shut up chatterbox. Aur batao kya
laun ? He asked. ' Sare ke saare pakode aur
samose le ao ' She showed her white 32. As soon
as Randhir got out of the car, Sanyukta's
prophecy came true with a downpour of water
from the sky. ' Shit ' Randhir yelled and got into
the car. ' Sanyukta pakode wala plan cancel. Abhi
ghar chalte hain ' he said wiping his face. ' Nai. I
want them ' Sanyukta said making a crying face. '
Are par kitni baarish ho rahi hai ' Randhir said .'
Phir bhi tum jao ' Sanyukta retorted.'Mein geela
ho jaunga ' he snapped.' Mein ghar jane ke baad
sukha dungi ' she smiled' Mein bimaar pad jaunga
' he pouted.' Mein kada banake pila dungi. Aur
tumhara khayal bhi rakhungi ' she said
innocently. ' Mere kapde kharab ho jayenge ' he
said irritated.' Mein saaf kar dungi. Ab jao ' She
crossed her arms.' You won't listen na ? '
Randhir accepted defeat.' No.. Ab jao ' Sanyukta
said like an adamant 5 year old.Randhir ran into
the shop and said ' Bhaiye koi dhang ke pakode
aur samos dedo ' .The shopkeeper being a bit low
on hearing didn't hear Randhir's words properly ,
he mistook the word 'dhang' for 'bhaang' and
instead of giving normal pakodas he packed
bhaang pakodas and samosas....
