Always Be Mine

Part 44:

Randhir had his gaze still fixed on the corridor, he could feel how confused she must have been by now.. He went till the corridor and checked twice if she had indeed left. She was gone.. He came back into the room, locked the door, went and stood infront of the mirror "Pagal kya karne jaa raha tha tu? Hosh me ho b ya nahi? Woh ladki kuch bolti nahi hai iska matlab yeh nai ki tum jo man me aaye woh karoge.. Did you even ask her permission before kissing her? Jab dekho use breathless kar dete ho!!  Sharam bilkulll nahi rahi tujhme.." he was blaming himself.. " So what if you are married to her? That doesnt give you all the right to show your dominance on her.. What if she was dying inside when you tried those stuff on her? What if she starts hating you? Why do you have to hurry so much? Puri life padi hai tumhare saamne.. You have to take her fully only when you earn the right of doing so.. Tab tak dur raho usse samjhe?" he threatened his image on the mirror. Randhir nodded his head in agreement.. He promised to himself he wouldnt go beyond his safe limit.. If needed, I ll keep my distance from her..

Randhir quickly took his shower, dressed up hurriedly, picked up his book and rushed out of his room.. When he reached the class, PKC was still trying to explain something which he himself wasnt sure about.. He slowly peaked his way into the room, and reached for his chair. While passing, he looked at Sanyukta from the corner of his eye, she was doing so as well. Randhir sat on his chair, Sanyukta turned back to look at him.. She looked him up and down, still confused.. Randhir avoided her eyes, he put his head down. He was feeling shy to face her. Sanyukta turned back to face the board "Iska tabiyat toh thik hai na?? Pata nai kya chalta rehta hai iske man me.. Bhagwan ji mujhe itna shakti aur himmat dijiye thaki Engineering khatam karne se pehle isse samaj paun.." she prayed..

 Randhir was stealing glances at her.. When he made sure, she wasnt looking at him anymore, he made it a full time task to adore her.. He wore a cute smile on his lips, when he remembered the way he punched on her nose.. Yoyo was scratching his head seeing Randhir smile to himself..

"Bus yahi din dekhna baaki reh gaya tha.. PKC ke wajah se Randhir paaji b pagal ho gaye.. Ab FITE aur Dream Team ka kya hoga? " YoYo wondered.. "Randhir Paaji..Randhir paaji.. Aap aise kya dekh rahe ho?"

"Mein Sanyukta ko nai dekh raha hun Yoyo.. " Randhir replied in a hurry..

"Toh meine kab kaha ki aap Sanyukta ko dekh rahe ho? Mujhe laga aap pakao PKC ke wajah se pagal ho gaye ho.."

Randhir was cornered.. Yoyo didnt even mention her name, but Randhir filled it in. No matter wherever the convo starts, it always ends up in Sanyukta.. Randhir blushed yet again..

When class ended, Randhir almost ran out of the class, he just wanted to avoid Sanyukta that day.. He had no courage to face her. Sanyukta felt very weird to see Randhir behave this way..  Sanyukta rushed behind him.. But there was no trace of him. He had vanished into thin air. She picked up her phone and dialled his number.. It rang but no answer.. She tried once, twice, thrice but no, the result the same, No answer.. She made up her mind.. Next class was about to start in a while, he would definitely wont dare to miss Prof. Vardhan's class..

"Aane do.. Dekh leti hun.." she pumped her fist, entered the class, waited for him to come.. Minutes passed but there was no sign of him coming back.. Her anger slowly was getting converted into concern.. She was already missing Randhir.. Without his presence, even class seemed like hell. Sanyukta glanced at his chair, it was empty.. She hated to see it empty..

Prof. Vardhan arrived at the right time.. He was never late and he hated late comers.. Sanyukta was more worried now.. "Randhir ab ayega toh bahut kuch sunna padega Vardhan sir se..I cant see him being scolded.. " she was hell worried.

Time passed, Sanyukta's eyes were fixed on the doorstep, there was no sign of Randhir coming back.. Vardhan was busily writing something on the board, she was very sure he wouldnt look back atleast for 2 minutes.. Sanyukta bent down a bit, went under the table, dialled his number .. This time it said " THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO CALL IS CURRENTLY SWITCHED OFF"

The moment she said that automated tone, her mood got switched off.. Randhir never turns his phone off, never ever.. Where the hell has he gone? Sanyukta was beginning to get restless..
