Few miles away from HER house, a car headed away from Bengaluru.
"So how is it going?", his friend asked.
"All my actions, so far, are suitable enough to make her fall for me", he paused and continued .
"Ahhh.. Sh...
"Why is the kitchen is so quiet??", Randhir asked raising his eyebrow.
"Yeah. Actually today there are only take away orders in 'Elite Catering '. I just had two orders. They have come and collected it as well ."
"Why? Where's Yoyo??", he asked again.
"Yoyo Anna has left for Hyderabad . I'm not sure why, but yesterday morning, he said that he's having some important work in Hyderabad and he's taking his family too . He handed over the car keys to me.", she replied.
"Oh. Okay. But Why are you looking so dull?"
"Randhir !!! To be honest, I've never been this way before . ", she sighed leaning against the counter of the modular kitchen.
Though her dad did not support her dream directly, but he made sure, Sanyukta was comfortable. Her dad made sure the modular kitchen was completely furnished before she moved in.
Randhir sat on the kitchen counter top, dangling his legs. His heel was hitting the metal handle of the crockery segment in regular interval.
"What's there to worry ? Everything will be fine." , he assured her with a calm expression on his face.
His thoughtless assurance failed to pacify her.
"Randhir , it's not that easy. My parents are tough to convince. Your parents should like me and my parents should like you." , she paused. She thought about asking him about his family . She also wanted to tell him about Vikram .
The sound of the handle irritated her.
"Randhir , will you please stop making that sound ", she held her head. "It's irritating me."
"Sorry", he smiled. "By the way, what are we, 30+ ..... to worry about marriage? I am in my mid-twenties and you in your early twenties. What's the hurry??? We have a world of time."
"No Randhir, your not getting it . My parents are very serious about my wedding. In fact, one of the proposals got too close. But thankfully I called it off in the last moment. " , she frowned as she said .
"Really?", he asked.
She nodded.
"Randhir , I really feel I should talk to my parents about us" , she chipped worriedly.
"Ahh! Come on , Sanyukta!! We have just proposed each other. Do you really need to take things that far, so soon?"
"What do you mean?? What did you just say?", her face reddened with anger.
"Hey!! calm down. That was just for fun.", Randhir said .
"Is this a joke for you, haa ?? Mr. Randhir , for your information , I'm taking you and our relationship even more serious than my life. I can't imagine you going away from me . I hope you have understood it clear enough. And Dare you talk to me like that again." , she flared her nostrils in fury and turned around.
Randhir hopped to the floor and moved closer to her . He tried to hug her from the back and kiss her cheek but she moved away avoiding his touch.
