Always Be Mine

Part 19:

Professor Vardhan felt very proud seeing his team. They are up for every challenge I throw on them, my Best Dream Team ever, he felt. His eyes fell on Jiggy, he was standing there firm with his legs shivering.

"Jignesh! You okay?"

"Vardhan Bhai.. ooo sorry Vardhan sir! Mein thik hun!" Jiggy blabbered with his legs still shivering.

"Ok guys I hope nobody here believes in all this ghost stuff? If you do, then let me know right now. I dont want anybody cribbing after we enter into the village. Is that clear?"

"Sir, hum sab thaiyar hain.. Believing this stuff or not is a different thing, in a way we are used to it. Hum already chudailon ke saath hi rehte hain. Isse badi chudail yahan nahi ho sakta!" Parth looked at Vidushi.

"Hmmm anyways jokes apart! Is my team ready to go on the mission? Give me one final YES, after which there ll be no looking back, no regrets!!"

His Dream Team was always ready, they said "YES SIR!!" this time, it was more firm.

Vardhan smiled and started walking, lets go then, he said. Randhir, Sanyukta and others followed them.

"Hum FITE Mechanical Engineering karne aaye hain? Ya phir bhoot voot pakadne! Hadh hai yeh toh.. Hum CID thodi na hai" Vidushi kept cribbing. It irritated Randhir who was admiring his angel.

"Vidushi agar tum apni muh band nahi ki na, toh tumhe utake us gutter me fenkh dunga! Samjhi?" MCP Randhir in him spoke.

"Mein bhi haath bataon kya Randhir? Abhi kar dete hain. Shubh kaam me der kis baat ki!" Parth was in a way having fun pulling Vidhushi's legs.

Vardhan sir stopped in front of a house and asked for water . A lady, in her early thirties, went running inside and came back in a few seconds with water. She gave a weird look at Dream Team, especially Vidushi caught her eyes. She went running inside yet again, while the team was still confused, she came back with a long piece of cloth(it was double the size of a normal saree) and covered Vidushi with it. She said " Beti bahut garib ho kya tum? Itne kam kapde kyun pehen rakhe ho, woh bhi itne saare mard log ke saamne? Koi baat nahi, tum yeh rakh lo, mere paas aur b purane kapde hai sab de dungi" Vidushi was shocked to hear this. Randhir, Sanyukta and Parth all of them burst out laughing, pointing fingers at Vidushi. She was so embarassed and left the place immediately.

Parth thanked the lady for the cloth and said "Sach me bahut garib ghar se hai woh ladki! Aapke jo b purane kapde hain sab de dena!"



Randhir patted Parth on this shoulder " Hamesha kyun uske piche pada rehta hai tu! Bus kar, ladkiyon ki aise insult nahi karte" Parth and Sanyukta opened their mouth wide. Randhir winked at Parth and left the place.

They had to do a quite of lot of stuff, like setting up their tents, arranging for Bonfire, food preparation etc. By the time, they finished everything it was 6 PM. Till 5:59 PM whole village was busy. Villagers were running here and there and the situation seemed quite normal. But once the clock struck 6 PM, there was silence everywhere. All the streets were deserted, all the doors closed, pin drop silence prevailed. It indeed created a bit of fear. Dream team felt something in their stomach.



Randhir helped sanyukta get into her tent and said "Vardhan sir asked us to just observe the environment today. Kal se hi hum apni task start karenge. Jo b ho bahar mat aana. I ll be here in the next tent. Kuch chahiye ho toh ek awaaz dena, aa jaunga mein. Okay?" he was talking to her as if she is a 4 year old kid. Randhir patted Sanyukta on her shoulders and turned to leave, she caught his hand. "Randhirrr!!" she called

"Bolo Sanyukta! Kya hua? Kuch chahiye tumhe?" Randhir was concerned. Sanyukta was about to say something, but at the Same time, they heard a noise somewhere, it was frightening. Sanyukta immediately hugged him, tight..(Readers, do help yourselves by imagining Sandhir BG Tune here) Randhir smiled a bit,hugged her back and caressed her hair. The noise, was still audible to everyone in the Dream Team except these two coz they were in Sandhir Land now.

After 2 mins, Randhir spoke "Arey sanyukta kuch nahi hua hai. Its just some random noise. Daro mat, mein hun na!"

Sanyukta still hugged him tight, and said "Randhir please tum mere paas hi rehna please. Kya hum dono ek tent share nahi kar sakte?"

Randhir was surprised to hear that.. Sanyukta tum sach me? While Randhir started to talk, sanyukta realized what she has just said. "Mera matlab yeh hai ki my tent is big enough to accommodate us, tum us khone me so jaana, aur mein is khone me.. Okay?"

Randhir gave a naughty smile and said, "Nahi nahi mujhe sirf apni tent pe sona hai"

Sanyukta caught his hand and almost dragged him inside her tent "Mein keh diya toh keh diya.. Wahan tum so jao, mein yahan soungi"  she showed him one corner of the tent.


Randhir obeyed her words and helped himself in that corner. She lied down on the opposite corner, with her back facing Randhir. He was happy that she had trusted him so much. No girl in the world would let a guy share her room, unless and until she trusted him completely. She is trusting me, I am happy, he thought. When he was still smiling, she turned to face him, they both shared a intense eyelock. It was as if their eyes were hugging each other's. Such was the pleasure of love.

But It lasted only a few minutes, Randhir woke up all of a sudden, when he saw a shadow outside. It was standing so close to Sanyukta.
