SADDA HAQ- Season 2 (SLOW UPDATES)

Episode 11~ At the Garage

Even after so long, Randhir knew the way to the place he had called his second home. A small smile appeared on his face as he recollected his childhood and teenage days here. More than his own home he had spent his days here; learning and getting motivated towards engineering.

Randhir had tears in his eyes as he looked around the old garage. There were few bikes and cars, some old and rusty and some new. One or two mechanics worked on some of them. Nostalgia hit him bad as he reminisced his past. Everything seemed like a distant memory.

'Arey, Randhir Bhaiya?'

Randhir looked up. A young boy wearing a vest and denim jeans came up to him. His face was very familiar. He smiled widely at him. Randhir took a second to recognize the familiar young teen.

'Chotu?' He asked and smiled at him. The guy nodded.

'Yes, Randhir Bhaiya. You recognized me?' He asked happily. Randhir nodded and placed his palm on Chotu's shoulder.

'Yup,' - He looked at him from top to bottom and then at his face, - 'You have grown so much.' He complimented him.

Chotu smiled, - 'Thanks.' - He leaned and hugged Randhir, - 'so good to see you.' He said. Randhir hugged him back.

'Good to see you too.' He said, and they parted. Then, Chotu held his hand and eagerly took him inside the garage. Randhir also got excited to meet Iqbal and Feroz Chacha.

********************************

Sanyukta felt restless as she paced beside her car. She kept glancing at her watch and cursing Randhir. She began wondering if he fooled her.

'Why did I trust that man.' She said bitterly. She bit her lips and began walking away from the car when she saw a scooter and a car crane coming towards her. She frowned as she looked on while fidgeting with her mobile. As the scooter came near she realized Randhir was riding it. He had a wide grin. She made a face and looked away.

Randhir stopped his scooter in front of her and the car crane stopped in front of Sanyukta's car. She watched a man and a teenage boy climb down the car. The boy smiled and nodded her. She smiled a small smile.

'See.' Randhir twirled the keys of the scooter in his index finger. Sanyukta rolled her eyes and walked past him. His smile dropped.

'Um, Uncle, this is my car.' Sanyukta said to the man.

He straightened and smiled placing his palm on the back bonnet of the car.

'We know, beta. Don't worry we will repair your car in no time.' Feroz Chacha assured her. Sanyukta forced a smile and looked away. Her gaze fell on the young boy who was eyeing her suspiciously. She frowned and looked away.

Feroz Chacha and Chotu hooked the car to the crane and then walked back towards their car.

'Beta, I and Chotu will come by my car you come with Randhir.' Feroz Chacha said. Sanyukta's eyes widened and she turned to look at Randhir. He kept a straight face. Sanyukta looked back at Feroz Chacha and shook her head.

'No.' She said instantly. Randhir felt offended but doesn't say anything.

'Then how will you come, beta?' Feroz Chacha asked looking confused. Sanyukta bit her lower-lip and clenched her phone tightly. She looked down and stared at the ground. A moment later, Feroz Chacha suggested once again that she come with Randhir on the scooter. Unwillingly, Sanyukta nodded.

She turned around and Randhir looked away. He sat on the scooter. Hesitatingly, Sanyukta began to take small steps towards the scooter. Randhir clenched the handle tightly as he grew impatient with Sanyukta walking so slowly. Finally, she stood beside him. Purposefully, she avoided his gaze as she sat behind him. Randhir wore his helmet and straightened. As she was wearing a dress, Sanyukta placed both her legs on one side. Randhir ignited the engine and she grasped the handle on the back of the seat. She kept her other hand on her thigh. This was super awkward for her which was very strange. Slowly, Sanyukta looked at the back of Randhir's head. It is so strange that once this man was the love of her life and now she was feeling uneasy with him. Sanyukta looked away. Randhir glanced at her in the rear-view mirror. He noticed her expressions and felt her stiffen behind him. He looked away and started his bike.
