Always Be Mine

Part 29:

Dream Team decided to spend the rest of the night in the village, after which they would set out for FITE early in the morning. A task well finished, they were all happy and so was Sanyukta. This village was so special, it made her realize his love for her. Sanyukta kept thinking about Randhir, she could not sleep, neither she was wanted to. At his place, Randhir was so confused..

"Kahan gayab ho sakta hai woh letter aur ring.. kitne pyaar se likha tha meine, shit, ek backup copy nahi rakha meine.. Randhir tu buddhu hai, phir se aise letter kaise likhoge tum? Its mission impossible.. Mechanical Engineering ka 4th year question b solve kar dunga, par ek aur love letter likhna mere liye toh impossible hai..Better Sanyukta se khud jaake bata deta hun.. Tu? Sanyukta se baat karega? woh b pyaar bari baatein? Shakal dekh apni, Romance ki R b nahi aata hai tujhe.. Uski aankein dekhke tu usse I love you Sanyukta ke jagah I love you sister bol dega... Bada aaya pyar bari baatein karne wala" Randhir was talking to himself, facing the mirror. Sanyukta who was listening to this convo, from outside the tent, couldnt stop herself from laughing.. She closed her mouth tight with her hands, ran towards her tent and burst out laughing..

"Randhir tum kitne cute ho.. My God, I felt like pulling your cheeks right away..Randhir I know I cant live without you, I love you so much par har ladki yahi chahti hai ki ladka pehle propose kare.. I am not an exception either..Atleast isme toh mein ladkiyon ki tarah behave karna chahti hun... Mr. Randhir Singh Shekawat, khud aake mujhse propose kare yeh sapna hai meri. I ll make sure you do it, I know yeh tumhare liye mission impossible hai but I ll provoke you in every way possible and make sure you confess your feelings for me" she winked..

Sanyukta and Randhir both lost in own world, fell asleep without their knowledge.. Next morning, they were on their way to FITE.. By afternoon, they reached, everyone except Randhir and Sanyukta rushed to their rooms, they badly needed some rest.. Randhir came closer to Sanyukta, she was tensed " Kahin yeh abhi toh propose nahi karne wala hai?" He came more closer and whispered in her ears. she closed her eyes, what if its FITE? Finally Randhir propose toh karne hi wala hai! She was happy inside.. He said " Sanyukta, mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai. lets have some noodles, chalo" God, unbelievable hai yeh ladka. Mein propose karne ki wait kar rahi thi aur isko noodles ki padi hai!! Sanyukta gave him a loud stare and left the place immediately. Randhir was confused again, Ab kya ho gaya isko..Ladkiyan b na, meri samaj mein bilkul nahi aati..

Randhir went to his room where he saw Parth and Jiggy already asleep. He wasnt able to sleep. He took his phone out dialed sanyuktas number, before it could connect, he disconnected the call, this routine continued for a couple of times. "Randhir paaji ladkiyon ke piche hum nahi ladkiyan hamare piche bhagne chahiye" he remembered hearing someone saying that to him. He kept the phone beside the table. Sanyukta was lying upside down in her bed, with her mobile in front of her, she was expecting it to ring anytime. She just wished to see his image flash on her mobile screen along with his name. "Randhir please call kar do na, Acha okay let me count till 10.. Agar tumne 10 count hone se pehle call kar diya iska matlab tum mujhse pyaar karte ho.. let me count 1........2........3...............4...............5...............6............7....................8.................9..........Randhir last chance kar do call abhi.....................10.. Isne toh call hi nahi kiya.. Haan toh kya, 10 se pehle call karta toh iska matlab woh mujhse pyaar karta hai, warna woh mujhse sirf pyaar nahi, beintehaa pyaar karta hai!!!! Suna hai meine pyaar me log pagal ho jaate hain par kabhi yeh nahi socha ki khud mein ho jaungi pagal ek din" she smiled to herself.. Sanyukta just couldnt believe what magic has love done to her. She was loving every bit of it..

While she was busy blushing, her phone beeped with a text message " Sanyukta, meet me outside at 8 PM tonight.." It was Randhir, her Randhir.. Her happiness knew no bounds when she saw that text message from him. 8 PM Outside? Par Kyun? Kahin fir se noodles ke baare me baat kiya toh, she took her phone and replied

Sanyu: "8 PM but why?"

Randhir: Bina Sawal puche kuch nahi kar sakti ho kya tum?

Sanyu: Aise hi puchungi, batao tum abhi

Randhir: Tumhari punishment abhi baaki hai, yaad hai na?

Sanyukta realized what he was referring to.. She had lost the bet the day before they set out to this village. He had promised a punishment for her. She was ready

Sanyu: Haan yaad hai, kahan aana hai batao..

Randhir: Gate ke bahar milo, sharp 8 PM

Sanyu: Ok ! See you!

Sanyukta glanced at the watch.. It was only 6 still 2 hours left.. But then, it was her first official date with him.. She had to look special. She planned to murder him just by her looks. "Aaj Randhir ke muh se woh 3 words sunke rahungi!" she promised to herself. She went through the cupboard, pulled all the dress and finally settled for a blue kurta. Randhir once said, she looked like a girl in that attire. He loved to see her in traditional wears, for the first time in her life, she wanted to look beautiful, special and stunning. She had never felt this way before. By the time, she finished, it was already 7:55 PM. "Oh My God! Did I take 2 hours to get ready? It is definitely not me! Yeh Randhir ne kya kar diya! Ab late nahi ho sakti.. I have to be there on time" She left her room and started running towards the gate.

Sanyukta reached the gate, exactly at 8 PM, by then he was already there.. She wanted to kill him by her looks, but instead she became the victim.. Dressed in white, he looked nothing less than those handsome hollywood heroes. Actually, he looked better than them. Randhir Singh Shekawat, was the perfect guy any girl in this world would die for. When she reached, Randhir gave her a quick look and said " Lets go!" he started his bike.. Sanyukta was still staring at him unmoving.. Randhir realized that she hasnt yet sat, he looked back, she wasnt even blinking. He came near her and shook her by her shoulders, "Sanyukta, Are you okay? " She immediately wanted to say "No I am not" but then, she couldnt. "I am fine Randhir, chalo"

Sanyukta sat on his bike, she never bothered to ask where they were heading to, what was her punishment, when would they be back.. All she wanted at that moment, was his company.. To travel with him like that, she could lose thousand bets everyday. Randhir kick started his bike and they were on their way. Sanyukta placed her hand on his shoulders, he looked back a little and smiled...

Sanyukta said to herself "Please Randhir Aaj apni dil ki baat keh dena mujhse, I promise I ll never ask anything from you ever again.. Please fulfil this wish of mine!"

In a while, a slight drizzle came down to greet their new found love, which was soon to transform into a storm...
