Always Be Mine

Part 78:

Randhir and Sanyukta bid Goodbye to Vidushi and Parth, who were on their way to Darjeeling.. They had decided to spend their holidays together, rather than staying away from each other as 15 days seemed like 15 years for them.

Sanyukta had a big bag and a suitcase with her.. It seemed as if she had packed even Vidushi's clothes along with her's, so heavy the bags were. It clearly implied how excited and happy she was to get back home.. She tried dragging the bags all by herself. Randhir signalled her to pass the bags to him to which she denied..  "No Randhir I ll manage..!" Randhir had no option left other than snatching thr bags "Is it necessary to argue Everytime?  Kabhi na kabhi toh baat maan liya karo.. Pati dev hu mein..! Yaad hai na?"

"Hai na?  Mein toh bhul hi gayi Mr. MCP..!" her words sounded more cheerful than ever.. It was so soothing for Randhir..

"Oh Hello!  Isme Mcp wali baat kaha se aa gayi? I know girls duniya ke har kaam kar sakte hai they aint inferior to guys.. They are never behind.. But ek sach yeh b hai.. Girls are physically weak and we are mentally weak.. Hum jab b mentally down hote hai, toh you girls come to our rescue.. We cannot share your physical pain in many a cases.. All we can do in return is to lessen your physical burden.. Wahi kar raha tha mein..  Ab aage argue mat karna warna bus chut jayega.. Chalo..!" he started walking with her bag hanging on his shoulder, suitcase in his left hand and her hand in his right..  He was dragging her towards the bus stand.. All the while, Sanyukta looked at him with a "Awwww how can this guy be so damn perfect!" look.. She forgot even to wink..

After five mins of walking, they reached the bus stand.. Thankfully, they spotted the bus to Delhi almost immediately.. Randhir got in and reserved a seat for her.. Apparently, there was only one empty seat.. She asked him to sit, "Randhir tum bait jao.. I ll travel standing.. I am used to it..!"

"Everytime you try to steal the things that give me pleasure.. You know na? I love standing.. This time, I aint going to listen to you. Chup chap bait jao..!" Randhir leaned on the seat, folding his hands.. Sanyukta knew he was clearly trying to convince her.. She kept arguing.. "Mein nai baitungi..!"

The person who was sitting in the seat, got up "Hello.. Tum dono bait jao.. I ll travel standing..!" he offered the seat.. Randhir readily accepted the offer and occupied the seat.. "Thanks bhaiya..!" Sanyukta stared at him " Randhir ek baar decency ke liye mana toh kar lete.."

"Arey bhaiya ne itne pyaar se offer kiya hai, mana karunga toh dil dhukega na unka.. Tum argument band karo aur bait jao..!" he pulled her hand.. She smiled at the naughty Randhir and went past him to take the window seat. Somehow, Randhir looked more happier than him today and she was loving it..

Bus started to move.. Cool breeze blew inside through the window, disturbing the locks of hair resting on her forehead.. She was continuously talking about something or the other, that was of no relevance to the current situation. It clearly indicated how happy she was. To share your happiness with your loved one, you basically need no specific topic. Just talk whatever comes in your mind and the other ll understand.. She looked unusually beautiful today, its not that she wasnt beautiful earlier, its just that there was a special shine in her face which went missing the day, her family dumped her. To see her this way, Randhir could even commit a murder.. He carefully, removed the hair locks and tucked it right behind her ear.. She turned to smile at him.. That smile, made him fall in love with her all over again.. Randhir was totally lost in her smile and some random thoughts.

"Randhir kya soch rahe ho?" She asked him to which there wasnt a response. He was too busy to give her a reply.. She shook his shoulders "Randhirrr..! kya soch rahe ho?"

That touch brought him back to his senses.. "I was thinking about the last time when we were on bus, going back to FITE.. Its been a year and how things have changed.. Tumhe yaad hai? You werent even speaking with me, bas goor goorke dekh rahi thi.. Us waqt toh tum muh kholti bhi nahi thi ab muh band karne ka naam hi nahi le rahi hai..!" he laughed.. She hit him playfully, and he caught her hand "Sanyukta.. I want you to be always happy.. Keep smiling.. Kabhi b chehare se yeh smile ko fade mat hone dena.. Remember one thing always.. No matter what, I ll always be by your side.. Chahe woh tumhari Engineering ho ya life, you can't escape my lovable torture..!" Sanyukta held his arm and rested her face on his right shoulder.. "I know Randhir.. I love you.. I have nothing more to say..!" He rested his head on hers "I don't need anything else other than your love..!" He kissed her forehead, she kissed him back on his cheek.. They got closer, almost forgetting the fact that they were oh the bus..The person standing next to them coughed "Hello aur b log hai is duniya me..!" They pulled back with a sheepish smile..

Rest of the journey, they spent smiling at each other.. Almost after 2 hours, they reached Delhi.. Randhir took a cab and they were on their way towards the Agarwal Mansion.. Sanyukta pulled out her mobile to call Kishore.. Randhir stopped her from doing so "Sanyukta don't spoil the fun.. Let's give them a surprise..!" Only he knew what surprise he was referring to.. she readily obeyed.. Finally, they reached Agarwal Mansion.. Sanyukta jumped out of the cab and rushed inside the gate, while Randhir followed her with a smile..

Anju was in the kitchen preparing food.. Kishore was sitting in the hall, with a newspaper in his hand.. Ankit(let's ignore him, anyway he would be doing some useless task, so let's chuck it).. Kishore was reading the horoscope column for the day "Dear Scorpions..! Beware.. Today will be a very bad day in the history of your life... You ll meet someone who ll make your life hell.. I am warning you yet again, be careful..!" He was reading that loud and wondered "Aisa kya hone wala hai?"

"Sasur jiiiii... Namaste! Kaise ho aap?" Kishore turned towards the direction from where the voice emerged.. He was stunned to see Randhir.. "Aaj hi aa Gaya yeh? Matlab the horoscope might come true?" He whispered.. Randhir replied "Of course.. Mein kis liye hu phir? Maza Ayega..!" He had read Kishore's lip movement.. Sanyukta rushed straight towards her mom and hugged her tight.. "Mumma.. I missed you so much..!" Anju hugged her back "Meri bachi..! Kaisi hai tu?" They shared few mother Daughterly moments.. Sanyukta came to her dad and hugged him too "Papa.. Thanks a lot for inviting us.. I never expected this to happen at all in my life.. Thanks a lot Papa..!" Kishore faked a smile "Tum meri beti ho Maaf toh Karna hi tha na beta..!" Randhir smiled seeing all of it.. "Kyun Sasu ma.. Aarti nai utharna hai kya?"

Anju immediately pulled the Aarti plate and rushed towards the door.. Randhir instructed Sanyukta to join him "Sanyukta idhar aao.. Formality hai..!" She joined him for the Aarti session, while Kishore kept staring at Randhir.. "Trouble ko khud Aarti leke invite karne Walon se Aaj Pehli baar mil raha Hun Mein..!" Randhir smiled.. Soon after the Aarti, Sanyukta joined her mom and went straight upto her room, leaving behind Randhir along with his In laws.. Kishore and Ankit turned to leave...

"Abey Saale..!" Both Kishore and Ankit turned to face Randhir.. "Arey Kishore ji meine aapko nai bulaya... Aap mere Sasur ho.. Mein na mere pyaare Saale Ji ko bulaya.. Mr. Ankit Agarwal idhar aayiye.!" Randhir teased.. Ankit looked at Kishore who signaled him to go ahead..

"Our luggage is lying at the doorstep.. Get that to my room..!" He ordered.. Ankit whispered to Kishore "Papa yeh Kuch zyada kar raha hai.. Nai?" Kishore replied back "Ankit.. Property ke liye Kuch b.. Chup chap Jao aur Jo keh raha hai woh Karo.. Baad me dekh lenge use..!" He left the place.,

"Hello kya ho raha hai waha? Tum dono ke naye naye Shaadi hui hai kya? Dulha dulhan ke tarah chup chupke baatein kyu kar rahe ho? Saale jaa bey, jaake luggage leke aa.. Aur b Kaam hai tumhe.. List de dunga..!" Randhir ordered.. Ankit obediently followed his instructions.. He reached the doorstep and bent down to pick it up.. Next moment, he lost his balance and rolled down the stairs, as if someone had kicked him from the back.. It was like a dream, it happened all of a sudden.. When he opened his eyes, there was someone standing opposite to him "Kyun Saale ji.. Kuch Yaad aaya? Woh Engagament wali raat?" Randhir smiled, leaving behind a shocked Ankit..
