Next day after breakfast randhir wanted to go out as he was feeling highly uncomfortable in presence of sanu or should we call her his wife. She was continuously staring at him with wide smile which made him feel completely uneasy. For looking busy he tried to call hi parents but it went in vain as there was no network.
"Kaka mai zara gaon dekhna chahta tha, toh bahar hoke aata hoon." He told kishore.
"Ji mai chalu aapke saath?" Asked sanu immediately and then smiled shyly.
"Aap...aap kya karengi aakar?" He laughed nervously.
"Ji mai aapko gaon dikha dungi." She said coyly.
"Gaon mei dikhane layak kya hai, mai bas thodi der hawa khakar aajaunga, aapko takleef lene ki zarurat nhi hai." He ran as fast as he could from the fevicol creature.
*Oh Lord!! This place is completely crazy!! Baal Baal bach gaya warna aaj toh woh jhadiyo mei hi mera kaam kardeti.* He sighed.
He was busy in his thoughts so he didn't notice that he had walked a bit far away and was now at the lakeside which was quite lonely. He suddenly felt an obstacle but this time balanced himself before kissing the ground.
He then looked around to see that he was completely alone at this place. He got a little startled thinking of how will he return.
"Damn! Ab yeh kya nayi musibat hai, kaha aagya mai." He cursed loudly.
Just then he saw smoke coming out from behind a big tree, he thought must be someone and went there to seek help.
As he crossed the tree he saw someone sitting there smoking, the person was facing back to him and couldn't be seen properly due to the smoke. He approached closer to that figure and found it to be a girl.
On going in front of her he noticed that it was none other than sanyu. He was surprised to see her there smoking a cigarette.
"Aap yahan?" He voiced his surprise.
She got startled and looked up at him in shock.
"Tum yahan kaise aagye? Koi hai tumhare saath?" She asked in irritation as she didn't like to be disturbed in her leisure time.
He narrated to her his tale of how he got lost and then found her.
"Hmm... Toh ab kya yahan khade khade mujhe ghoorne ka irada hai? Bhot ghoom liye tum ab jao wapas." She ordered him.
"Aap kon hoti hai yeh decide karne wali? Meri marzi mai jab tak aapko ghoorta... I mean deekhta rahu." He got scared at the thought of going back so put up a strong facade.
"Toh at least mere sar pe khade hokar toh mat ghooro, baith jao yaha." She pointed beside her annoyed.
He then noticed that she was sitting on a small, little high stone, he had to sit in the same, that meant very close to her. He sat there and tried to maintain a modest distance.
As she saw his eyes fixed on her cigarette, she forwarded it to him. He looked at her face for a while and then took it. She took out another for herself and both puffed the unhealthy smoke in silence.
"Mujhe laga nhi tha ki mujhe iss gaon mei tumhari jaisi ladki dekhne ko milegi." He said breaking the ice.
"Toh kya dekhna expect kiya tha tumne? By the way 'aap' se 'tum' kaise?" She asked amused.
