My Innocent Love Story

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Randhir's pov:

I was more than excited to go home and meet my family after so long. Karan had dropped me at the gate and said that he had to attend his afternoon classes and he would come and meet me in the evening. I bid him goodbye and entered my house . I was welcomed by my Mom and Raima, who got quite emotional on seeing me after so long . After talking to them for a while, I went upstairs to my room to freshen up where I could see everything exactly in the same place as I had left. Surprisingly, Raima didnt sneak around here in my absence to mess with my stuff. Uh..I so missed fighting with her for such silly things. My mom made all my favorite dishes that afternoon and Dad had taken a half day off to spend time with me. We had a great time together at lunch on the dining table , where I kept on irritating and teasing Raima. Being away from my family and of course after listening to Ananya's stories about her parents, made me realise what my family means to me. I was thankful to have such loving parents and a cute little sister.

After we finished eating our lunch,I strode my way upstairs towards my room to get the gifts, which I had got for them. I had got a Fountain pen for Dad, a wooden carved jewelery box for Mom and a hand knitted top for Raima. I had also bought some Petha sweet boxes for friends and relatives, which I handed over to mom. My parents asked me about my life and routine in the university.They asked me about my friends. We talked over random topics for an hour or so and then I excused myself and went upstairs to my room as I was really tired . I took off my T-shirt and threw myself on my comfy bed. I hadn't had a proper sleep since last few days because of my exams and then a day after that , there was Ananya's shocking proposal.

Seriously, I never expected that she would come up with something like that. I didnt know how I was going to deal with her after I go back. I'd have to make her understand that she was my best friend and a very important person in my life.. She was the person with whom I'd like to hang out and spend my time with . But nothing more than that. I couldn't offer her what she was asking for.

I decided that as long as I stay in Hyderabad, I would not think about it. I just wanted to relax myself during my holidays. I pulled the quilt over my frame and welcomed sleep to take over me. I had a sound sleep for about 3 hours. I woke up on the beeping sound of my mobile. It was a message from Karan, saying that he was free now and was asking me to get ready as he would be coming to pick me up after an hour. I was still tired and was not in a mood to go out, but I had to for the sake of my friend. I got up from the bed and stretched out myself. I walked towards the window of my room lazily, drew the curtains apart and pushed it open . And what I saw outside took my breath away .

I was mesmerized at the sight of Sanyukta, sitting on a swing in her balcony . She had grown up and looked even more beautiful in these three years. She was wearing a peach coloured chudidar which was complimenting her fair complexion. Her long and lustrous hair were left open , looking like a stream of silk falling till her slender waist. Her golden bindi , which twinkled in the sunlight, added more charm to her beauty. Her hands were delightfully adorned with a row of matching bangles. She wore a small necklace around her delicate neck. She looked no less than a beautiful princess, waiting to be kissed by her prince.
Kiss????? Whoa .... where did that come from ???. Why do I always end up thinking of doing such things to her. And why only her and no one else. Although I had come across many beautiful girls in the university, I never felt anything for any of them. What is so special in Sanyukta , that attracts me so much towards her ...

AS I observed her more keenly, I noticed that those beautiful eyes of hers had lost its shine. She was looking lost and hurt. I felt a jolt of pain in my heart , as I noticed a tear coming out of her eye , tracing it's way down her cheek. I just couldn't bear the sight of her crying like that. She quickly wiped away her tear, on hearing someone calling her out and went inside her room closing the door behind. What was she crying for.., was the question troubling me at that time. But I knew, where I could find my answer...

I went to Raima's room and knocked her door . She opened the door and chipped, "Arey Bhai... aap uth gaye? "

"Haan...woh actually, I was getting bored in my room so , I thought of talking to you for some time. Aur kya chal raha hai Teri life mein. How are your studies going on???

"Everything is fine bhai.. Its just that I'm feeling a bit lonely these days, Tum jo nahi ho mujhe tang karne ke liye...",she said with a cute pout.

"Awww.... my sissy. Even I missed you too...", I relpied hugging her ."Waise......", I continued , "Tu akeli kyon hai, woh Sanyukta se teri ladai hui kya???"

"Why would I fight with her??? Woh toh itni sweet hai ki ladne ka chance hi nahi deti.. But, Jabse humne college join kiya hai, hum dono apni apni studies mein itne busy rehte hai ki zyada milne ka time nahi rehta . Woh business stream ko opt karke apne Successful Business women banne ke dream ko pura kar rahi aur main ek Fashion Designer banna chahti hoon.."

"Hmmm.., Good...Anyways, I've got to go and get ready, Karan is coming to pick me up .See you at dinner .", I said pretending as if I've just got Karan's message and walked out of her room.

It was clear that,Raima didn't know anything about it.

I went to my Mom, who was busy making snacks for us in the kitchen. "GOOD EVENING Mom..."

"Good evening, my son. You want some snacks??"

"Nai mom. Aapne lunch itna heavy karwa diya.. I wont have anything till dinner...", I replied holding my stomach. "By the way , Mom", I chipped, "Hows Anju Aunty??? main sonch raha tha , kyon na unse mil aaon..."

"Haan beta, main tujhse yeh kehne hi wali thi. She keeps asking about you .. Aur haan ...jaate jaate unke liye Petha wala sweet box lete jaana. ", mom chipped, while I simply nodded.

I went back to my room, took a shower and got ready. I returned back to the kitchen to take the sweet box from Mom and strode my way towards Aggarwal Villa.

As soon as I entered their gate ,I noticed that their main door was left wide open. The Aggarwals were sitting in their hall with some guests. I could see Sanyukta sitting in the middle with her head bent down and covered with a dupatta like a bride. I found it strange. I hesitated to go inside as I didn't want to disturb them. I was deciding to return back , when Anju aunty saw me and called me inside. I didnt know why but I felt my heart sinking down deep inside as I took my steps towards them.

"Sorry... main ne galat time par aa kar aap sab ko disturb kiya. Woh actually main aapko yeh mithai dene aaya tha.. Main baad mein aajaonga.." I said giving her the sweets I had brought for them.

"Arey nai beta... tum bilkul sahi time par aaye ho...Main abhi Renu ko call hi karne wali thi yeh good news dene.."

"Good news????", I frowned in confusion, but her next words shattered my world completely.

"Haan... Inse milo, yeh hai Sameer Mittal,Sanyukta ke hone waley mangetar... "
