Sanyukta felt her heart stop beating, for a moment! She felt like she was imagining things again. Her conscience forced her to believe that she was yet again building air castles but a single tug almost tore that feeling apart. He was actually kissing her! She could actually feel his warm lips and saliva over her mouth! She experienced herself, on the way of getting exploded, due to those burning sensations! She stood there numb as he gnawed on her lips. She wasn't in a condition to respond to his sweet assault! It felt so... so familiar. She sensed a strong recognition about the kiss they were sharing then, though it was her first kiss, well as much as she remembered. She was pressed against the kitchen counter as he continued to savour her mouth. She didn't stop him from accessing the insides of her mouth and she led a soft whimper when he entered his tongue into her sweet mouth. She wholeheartedly welcomed his assaults but didn't return the sweetness, she was too shocked to do that, wasn't she?. A moment later she felt him relaxing over her mouth as he slowly detached their lips but kept them brushing against each other before they calmed their ragged breaths down. Their foreheads were leaning against each other and their nose were touching while they caught their uneven breathes. Their limbs were shaking slightly. Randhir opened his eyes and saw the most beautiful sight he could have ever seen in his whole lifetime. There she stood with her swollen lips apart as they shivered lightly, clutching the front of her kurti tight, in her fist while her eyes were still latched together. She was beautiful! Indeed gorgeous, Randhir remarked before smiling lightly and walking two steps back. Sanyukta slowly opened her eyes as she felt herself lacking the warmth, his warmth! The first thing that her eyes noticed was a pair of chocolate brown, passionate orbs gawking at her, penetrating deep into her eyes. Damn, she felt shy! She could have given a tough competition to a beetroot! Her cheeks welcomed a surging rush of warm blood as she felt highly conscious under his intense stare.

"I felt like doing this..." She heard him speak. Speak! He felt like kissing her? He FELT? Well, she, right at that moment felt like pouncing on him and snogging him untill both of them needed two oxygen masks! Was she allowed to do that? Nwao.
What was that even supposed to mean? What was she even supposed to reply to that? Several 'whys-whats-hows' were springing in her head then but her lips, as usual couldnt utter a single of her 'actual' words before him. Wait? Wasn't she the one blabbering constantly, whatever came in her mouth since the last fifteen minutes until that happened? Was she suffering from any sort of multiple-personality disorder? She felt her inner sense asking. Okay chuck.

"Randhir.. I..." She lifted her eye lashes up to get a view of his handsome countenance but she couldn't locate him. He was gone! Wait? Why did he elope after kissing her? That bit of snog wasn't even planned. She was emotionally drained then. She felt like unleashing all her insecurities and worries in front of him at that moment. Once she started, she couldn't even figure out that she had blurted out way too much. She bit her lower lip feeling extremely helpless at that moment. Did he kiss her out of sympathy or for returning all her favours? But she didn't favor him in anyway. It was her heart which caused the blunder and led to this day! She owed her life to him! He was her savior! She couldn't even think of doing any favor on him. He was her responsibility and she had accepted him in that way. Honestly, yes, she was attracted to him since the time she saw him. Initially, she felt it to be a mere sense of infatuation and that she would get rid of it as the day of his departure would near. But at that moment, she was in such a situation that even the thought of him leaving her house could madden her terribly!

That noon, she cried. She cried her heart out, locking herself in the washroom. She cried over her fate. She cried over her stupid silly imaginations. She cried over her decisions. She cried over her Randhir. She cried over, what she was even dreaming about all these days. She cried over all those jittery feels and the swarms of butterflies she felt in the pit of her stomach whenever they came closer. She cried over her indifference towards the issue of his former life, his supposedly girlfriend whom he loved unconditionally. How could she even put herself in the place which was not meant for her in this life at least? She knew her fate won't let her live a moment of her life, happily and she finally gathered the courage to accept that. Dreams, were not meant for her. She accepted that. 

Once she sobered herself up, she quickly took a bath, tactfully concealing those swollen red eyes of hers with a bit of powder, she walked down to prepare lunch for her guests. Amidst the emotional trauma, she was going through, she didn't forget her visitors. She did her duty with utmost diligence, be it professional, formal or personal! It was a great attribute of hers. She disguised herself under the cloak of a happy and cheerful person, but internally, she might be breaking into pieces every moment.

"Aryan... Sanaya..." She climbed the stairs while calling them.

"Aryan.. Sanaya.. Are you guys done freshening up?" She knocked at their door. She knocked again after getting no response from the other side.

The door sprang open and Aryan peeped through the door, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Sanyukta chuckled at his state.

"Are you guys done taking your siesta? Come on have some food and then sleep as much as you can..." Sanyukta pushed the door ajar while Aryan turned into the room with Sanyukta behind him. She saw Sanaya curled up in the duvet and was snoring horrendously. Sanyukta widened her eyes at Aryan who was on the verge of slouching down beside her, his eyes still closed due to sleep. She pulled him up and he yawned yet again.

"Aryan.. Go and freshen up..." She pushed him towards the washroom.

"Sanyukta... Pretty please let me complete my much needed sleep. That devil of your friend didn't let me sleep the whole journey. Do you even know what things she makes me do at times? Look.. Look at her.." He exclaimed annoyingly indicating towards Sanaya to which Sanyukta stifled a giggle.

"You go.. I am waking her up... And let me think of few tricks for you to tame this little devil in my absence." She pushed him inside and he obeyed her words.

"Sanaya.. Sanaya.. Get up you lazy bum!" Sanyukta pulled her duvet down thus thinning up her sleep. Sanaya led out a sleepy muffle before snoring again and Sanyukta banged her hand on her head.

"Sanaya.. Get up I said.. I am not gonna let you sleep with an empty stomach.. There are hot 'aloo ka paranthas' in lunch.. I know how much you love them." Sanyukta climbed the bed and whispered in her ears and the next second Sanaya jolted up from the bed and sat upright! Sanyukta laughed out as her plan worked. She knew Sanaya's weakness so well, Aloo ka Parantha and butterscotch ice cream! She could even brace death happily for them.

"You know what Sanyu? I love you! I love you so damn much!" Sanaya pounced on her, thus hugging her tight whereas Sanyukta lost her balance.

"I know.. I know..." She was almost choking at the tightness of the hug. Breaking off the hug, Sanaya kissed on her cheeks and Sanyukta as always wiped the moisture with the back of her hand to which Sanaya rolled her eyes.

"You won't change this habit of yours right?" She poked her lips out whereas Sanyukta sticked out her tongue at that.

"Go and freshen up.. Food is waiting for you!" Sanyukta patted her cheeks and stood up from the bed and Sanaya almost jumped down the bed after her.

"Shush.. Careful.. The food can wait a bit more!" Sanyukta ordered her. "By the way, your husband's using the washroom." She winked at her and Sanaya fumed that instant.

"What the hell Aryan! You didn't wake me up and how dare you use the washroom before me? My aloo ka paranthas are craving for me!" Sanaya banged on the washroom door and screamed whereas Sanyukta shielded her ears from exploding with the intensity of her screams.

"Yeah right! Or rather you are craving for them!" They heard Aryan shout back from the washroom.

"You Aryan Asshole Harshwal! I am gonna kill you! You just come out at once!" Sanaya retorted, this time with more pitch and Sanyukta felt the utter need to leave the battlefield at that moment.

"Baby I love you nah." Sanyukta heard Aryan exclaim as she exited their room. Her eyes welcomed a tear drop. She also dreamt of those things. A cute little family of hers, a loving partner and all those little happinesses. She closed her eyes and let the tear drops fall down thus shutting down each dream of hers in the form of tears.
