It was 7 P.M, when Sanyukta was paying her bill at the local grocery store . She went to buy some mozzarella as she had three orders for Cheese Pizza. Yoyo had gone for a delivery, so she had to go by walk. She was just 10 minutes away from her flat . She was happier than ever. Her orders were gradually increasing in number. She had a minimum of 4-5 orders per day.

As she walked back to her apartment , she saw Randhir talking to her apartment owner Mehta ji, pointing towards her flat. He froze in his spot , as he saw Sanyukta coming towards him. He quickly completed his conversation , kick started his bike and drove away from her sight before Sanyukta could call him .

Sanyukta was bewildered...

A couple of hours later, as she packed her last order, she heard her doorbell ring.

"Hi", Randhir stood there waving both of his hands. Sanyukta looked at him and took a deep breath to control her rage.

"What was it with the apartment owner in the evening?", she asked

"I will tell you but before that can you let me in".

She sighed and opened the door widely, signing him to come inside. Yoyo was back and waiting to collect the next order for delivery.

"Yoyo Anna!!! How are you?", Randhir asked in a cheerful voice.

Yoyo frowned in confusion and composed himself realising Sanyukta's presence.
"Fine, Sir.", he answered.

"Sanyukta. What is the order that you are packing", Randhir asked walking towards Sanyukta.

"Mr. Randhir , may I know who you are and what is going on?"

"Oh!!!Oozy -gooey cheese pizza!!!", he exclaimed.

" I asked you something, Randhir ", Sanyukta demanded an answer.

"Okay.. I will tell you. But before that I want you to know something", Randhir chipped.

"What ????"

"I know how much you are into this 'Elite catering '. I really feel you should come a little bit out off your comfort zone to expand it and make it popular"

"Come again!", Sanyukta stressed every possible syllable in anger.

"I mean ..... why don't you take a few more steps to make it big..."

"Listen! I'm already trying my level best to make it big . And I don't want some stranger to walk in and tell me what I should do and what I shouldn't. Especially the one who does mysterious things around me", Sanyukta glared at him angrily and said,"For me , you are just a customer that's it. So, You better mind your own business and for now, you can leave", she pointed her finger towards the door.

Randhir looked at Sanyukta and then at Yoyo . He looked at Sanyukta again for one last time and strode his way out of the house without uttering a word.

PRECAP:

"Accept my apology, please.", she requested.

"Wasn't it too much to hurt me out, just like that?"
