PATHWAY TO LOVE (On Hold)

23. Missing her!

Kindly ignore the typos. No proof reading done. Happy reading 💗

2 days passed. Randhir continued to ignore Sanyukta to the maximum due to his mountain sized ego. He was yet to experience the feeling called Guilt as his mind still lingered around the slap she gifted him the other day.

Sanyukta, on the other hand, had decided not to interfere in his life anymore. If she's nobody to him, then there is no point in running behind and forcing herself upon him. She had turned totally expressionless. She had no feelings for him any longer. But deep down her heart, she was beyond hurt that she would end up weeping throughout the night without any control. Though she used to portray herself as a strong and fearless girl, by heart, she continued to be a kid longing for love.

It was a normal Monday morning. Around 10 in the morning, Randhir got a call from Vardhan Sir who asked him to come to his cabin immediately. Sensing the excitement in his voice, Randhir almost ran to his room.

"May I come in Sir?" Randhir asked politely standing at the threshold of his cabin. The dean of the institute was already present there.

"Yes Randhir... Come come" the dean welcomed him with a huge smile, increasing his curiosity.

"We have a good news for you" the Dean continued and all Vardhan Sir did was to give a coy smile at them.

"Sir... What news? I don't understand" Randhir looked at them in confusion.

"There is an International summit to be held in Germany next week. The whole engineering world is looking for it. You know this right??" The dean asked, adjusting his specs.

"Yes Sir! I know. Its going to be a grand event. The best engineers from all over the world are going to compete against each other" Randhir replied casually.

"And do you know who is representing India??" The Dean asked him

"Ermm... No Sir! Who is that lucky person??" Randhir asked with his wide eyes.

"Its you Randhir Singh Shekawat" Vardhan Sir concluded even before the dean could open his mouth and Randhir was rooted to his spot. He couldn't believe his own ears. It was a dream-come-true moment for him.

"Sir... Me??" he asked in bewilderment.

"Yes Randhir. Just now we got a call from the authorities and they wanted the best student of FITE to represent India. Its obviously YOU. You are leaving to Germany day after tomorrow morning" the dean announced to him with pride and Randhir could hardly understand anything. He was flying in air. He, somehow, controlled his excitement and came out of his cabin, after thanking both of them

"Oh my god! I can't believe this! They have selected ME??" Randhir was talking to himself.

"Let's tell this to Farzi first. She'll be very happy. Of course... This has been our dream since high school" Randhir thought and was about to call her and the next moment, he realised what he was going to do. He immediately chucked his phone into his pocket and left to his room in anger.

"Happy Journey Randhir! All the best! I'm sure you will rock" standing in the airport, Vidushi hugged him tight, followed by Jiggy, Koustuki and Sahil, but Randhir was lost somewhere else. He was constantly looking at the entrance as if waiting for someone. He was looking at the watch and then at the entrance back and forth.

"Where the hell did she go?? The whole college knows that I'm leaving to Germany and that too, for 1 whole month. Will she lose anything if she comes here for a minute and send me off? I so hate you Farzi" Randhir kept cursing her with all nonsense that came to his mind.
