17th August ... 7:30 Am
"Tanya , I saw your message only this morning ", Sanyukta chipped as she dried her hair with a towel. She had put the phone on speaker.
"I had sent it last night around 10 PM . Don't tell me you were asleep by then ", she heard Tanya's voice. "You don't even have a moment to share things with me, right? These days, I get to know your updates only through social networking. I saw your status about winning the competition", Tanya chipped furiously on the other side of the line .
Just then, Sanyukta heard her door bell ring. She wondered who it could be so early in the morning.
"Just a second, Tanya. There's someone at the door ", Sanyukta hurried to the door as she put the phone on mute but it was still on speaker.
"VICKY!!!!!", she almost screamed in delight.
"What a pleasant surprise!!!! You were supposed to come tomorrow morning, right. How come??? Anyways I'm so silly... please
Come in", she smiled. "Just sit and relax, I'll be back in a few minutes"
"Sanyukta , are you still there? Or it is your Randhir knocking your door this early?", Sanyukta and Vicky both heard Tanya's voice on the speaker .
Sanyukta realised that the phone was still on speaker. She signalled Vicky to sit as she walked towards her bedroom.
"Randhir ?", Vicky chipped in confusion , loud enough for Sanyukta to hear it .
"Just give me a minute , I'll tell you everything", she replied Vikram and ran inside her bedroom.
"Stupid!!!! why did you shout?", Sanyukta muttered gritting her teeth.
"Oh yeah!!! Of course I'm stupid. That's why I'm begging for your time and attention", Tanya retorted back.
"Tanya please!!! You are my dearest friend and there is no doubt about it. No one can grab the time, attention and the love I have for you. Please don't speak to me like this . It hurts."
There was a silence for a while.
"Ok fine.... But be careful about that strange guy. I don't know why but I have this feeling that he is behind you for something fishy. I can sense it . And don't you dare ditch me for him", Tanya warned.
Sanyukta was not in a mood to argue with her.
"Ok.", she kept her reply short.
She had to tell Tanya about her relationship with Randhir . Well but before that, she had to tell it to Vicky .
"Hey, who is it at the door ?", Tanya asked .
"Vicky. I mean Vikram, my friend and neighbour from Hyderabad . Anyways, It's getting late. I'll see you in office", Sanyukta disconnected the call.
"Im so Sorry Vicky ", Sanyukta said walking towards Vikram . He held her head and smiled. Her hair were wet.
"That was my crazy friend over phone. Anyways you tell me how are you?", she asked. "You must be tired isn't it . You go and freshen up yourself while I make some breakfast for you", she smiled.
"No . It's is fine . I had my morning tea. I'm not hungry either. So , What is with your friend? Why was she angry", Vikram asked.
"That angry bird is unhappy with me. She feels that I spend less time with her, ever since Randhir came into my life.", she paused abruptly realising that she had spoken too much.
"Randhir ?", Vikram asked.
"I will tell you everything . But before that, did you go to Hyderabad ?"
"Yes Sanyukta , back home...", he pulled her by her arm, making her sit. His face was dull and tensed.
"What happened there?", she asked with her heart beat rising rapidly. "Is everyone doing well?"
Vikram hung his head, thinking how he would tell it to her. It might surely be a huge shock for her .
"Vicky !!!. Please tell me what has happened ?", Sanyukta chipped worriedly.
"Can you apply for a leave for the next couple of days? We need to go to Hyderabad ", Vikram said .
"Vicky, you are scaring me . Please tell me everything is fine ?", she asked with her eyes trying to find the answer in Vicky's eye. Her anxiety was increasing with every passing second.
"Everyone is doing great. They all are excited, happy and busy bustling about ... ", Vikram paused.
"About what ?", Sanyukta was confused .
"... about your wedding with Rajveer which is going to happen on August 30."
