A Blind Date

Shot 7

Sanyukta and Vidushi walked into the restaurant and looked around for Parth and the mystery man but couldn't find any of them.

Vidushi : Can you see them??

Sanyukta : Nope... Maybe the date is cancelled. Lets get back home.

Vidushi : Shut up! We are already here so stop being a coward and face the situation like a woman we are. Let me just call Parth to ask him where they are.

Vidushi was about to remove her phone when her eyes caught a glimpse of Parth with a man whose face wasn't visible sitting at the far end corner of the restaurant.

Vidushi : Look there they are. Lets go.

Vidushi and Sanyukta started walking towards the table while Sanyukta looked around feeling odd. She was feeling things that were not felt by her since long. Those feelings that were only felt when he was near. She looked around to find that one face that she was though both excited and scared to see. She knew something was definitely was going to happen but what she had no idea about and she was dreading to find out the same.

Sanyukta was so engrossed in her thoughts that she bumped into Vidushi when she stopped suddenly making her frown and she was about to ask what happened when she heard her whisper "Oh My God!" She frowned a bit more and looked in the direction where she was staring at with wide eyes. As soon as she did a shiver ran down her spine and she stumbled a bit but was saved by Vidushi from falling.

There standing with Parth was her past... the person she has loved since god knows how many years. The person for whom the feelings had started as crush but when it turned to love she had no idea about. The person who has been on her mind no matter what time of the day it was. The one for whose well-being she had asked in all of her silent prayers. The only one whom she had considered as her failure as it was his love that she wasn't able to achieve.

There stood in all his glory, flaunting his good looks and charm. Randhir Singh Shekhawat. The name enough to give chills down her spine even in her sleep.

By the looks of it she could tell he had no idea that she was the one he would be meeting cause he stood there wide eyes looking at her with emotions she couldn't comprehend as her own were all over the place. She just wish none of them were hatred. She wanted to run, shout atleast do something but her bones felt like jelly not moving at all. Its like the world has disappeared around them only him and her were present. No Vidushi. No Parth. No Others. Just the two of them and the deafening silence. Nothing else.

All four of them stood there for few minutes in silence. Randhir and Sanyukta looking at each other while Vidushi and Parth looking at them... moreover there reactions until Parth broks the silence.

Parth : Uhh... Sanyukta this is Randhir, my colleague and Randhir this is Sanyukta, my friend and Vidushi's best friend.

Both Randhir and Sanyukta shook each others hand robotically. There faces void of emotions depicting nothing.

Vidushi : Uhh.. guys lets sit now.

This brought them out of the trance and both averted the eyes from each other and walked towards the table.

Sanyukta sat beside Vidushi and across from Randhir who sat beside Parth. There was an awkward silence as they sat none chose to speak.

Sanyukta nudged Vidushi from beneath the table and pointed towards her phone silently. Vidushi discretely took her phone and saw a message from Sanyukta.

Sanyukta -
What the hell is all this?? Don't tell me you knew about all this and just chose to not tell me about it. I swear if this is the case you are going to be dead soon!!

Vidushi closed the message and gave a pointed look to Parth and motioned him to follow her after she left.

Vidushi : Uh.. Excuse me guys i will just use the washroom and be back in few minutes.

Sanyukta gave her a pleading look to Vidushi which clearly stated "Don't leave me here alone" but she just left in hurry to sort things with Parth and within few minutes Parth followed her excusing himself leaving Sanyukta and Randhir alone in each others company.
