Tale Of A Marriage

Part 9 : Friends???

"Hmmm...Hmmm....Jo barse sapne boond boond...naino ko moond moond"

"Okay.... so somebody sings well." Randhir spoke and Sanyukta turned.

"Hey...No not an excellent singer...just like that" Sanyukta replied

"Aren't you sleepy yet?" Randhir questioned

"No...not yet" "And you?" Sanyukta asked

"No..." Randhir replied

"The sky is looking so beautiful" "Twinkling Stars" "Full Moon" Sanyukta said her eyes fixed up on sky while Randhir was adoring her beauty

Her face was glowing under the moonlight and Randhir couldn't stop but adore her more and more

"This place is amazing Randhir. I can see whole Jaiselmer city from the terrace" "Tell me something about Jaiselmer" Sanyukta chirped

"Yes...you know Dadasa has worked really hard for the progress of Jaiselmer city" "Specially by creating awareness about education " "Opened schools, colleges, industries in Jaiselmer" "Solved the problems of water, electricity and roads" "In short he has given up his entire life for the people of Jaiselmer." Randhir said with proud smile

"Wow...I mean I never thought that...." Sanyukta exclaimed

"Wait..Wait...let me guess what picture you had in your mind...like they show in movies and fiction....Right?" "But its not like that...You know what Dadasa told me once "Love your roots, your tradition, your customs be proud of that but always welcome new changes with open heart."

"He is your idol Right"? Sanyukta asked

"Yes...He is" Randhir said proudly

"You are very close to him" Sanyukta said

"Yes...I can share anything with him. We are best friends" "Just like you and your Dadu are" he said

"Hmm...Right"

"Sanyukta" Randhir asked for her attention

"Hmm..." She said pushing her hair strands behind her ear

"Now tell me something about you." Randhir asked her genuinely

"About me?" She chuckled

"Yes..." Randhir stated immediately

"Hmm...Okay..What do you want to know about me?" Sanyukta said settling down on swing.

"Anything that you wish" Randhir said looking at her

"Okay...So my name is Sanyukta Agrawal." She chuckled

"Come on Sanyukta..." Randhir said

"Okay...Okay....You know about family. So...what should I tell you more now...like I don't know" She said

"Tell me about your likings, disliking. Your friends. Hobbies. Anything." Randhir made it simple for her

" Well... as you now know I like singing. Ofc I am not trained singer but I like to sing..." Sanyukta said looking at him

"Though I don't understand lyrics of song properly. In fact most of the times I translate lyrics to English" She chuckled "And you know dadu laughs at me when I try to sing Hindi songs in my tuti futi Hindi" She made a face while Randhir chuckled

"But you sing songs in Hindi so well!" Randhir asked

"That's because I listen to them many times and learn the lyrics" She replied
