Always Be Mine

Part 86:

The taxi was on its way towards their next destination, Sanyal Villa.. All the way, Sanyukta managed to calm Randhir down with a smile and a petty hug whenever he sounded upset or anxious. She very well knew it was just a beginning. She will have to invent new techniques and 'tharikas' to handle her hot blooded husband as and when the situation demands. Randhir kept checking the 'Meter' of the taxi. He had his eyes constantly fixed on it. Sanyukta was lost in her thoughts of how to handle Mr. Hotness Overloaded in Sanyal Villa. Even Google will not be able to throw the perfect 10 page result if she typed "How to handle Randhir in Sanyal Villa". Such was his ferociousness..

"Bhaiya gaadi roko..!" his voice interrupted her thoughts, the driver brought the taxi to the halt.. "Ji? Sanyal villa hi jaana hai na?" he shooted a puzzled expression..

Randhir looked at Sanyukta with a faint expression.. "Kya hua Randhir? I think we havent reached yet? Gaadi kyun rokh di tumne?"

"Bhaiya.. Humhe kuch kaam hai.. Aap yahi chod dijiyega.. Hum chale jayenge. Sanyukta uthro.." Randhir ordered.. "Bhaiya kitna hua?"

"500 rupaiya!" driver replied.. Randhir handed him the 500 rupee note and got down.. Sanyukta realized why Randhir got down all of a sudden coz she knew they had no business there, in the middle of the road. Randhir had only 500 rupee with him and thats the reason he had his eyes fixed on the meter.. Once it hit 500, he asked the driver to stop. Randhir smiled at her.. "Kuch nai Sanyukta.. This is my childhood place, where I used to play, so I thought, you might get a better view if we walk from here rather than go by a taxi. Its just 10 mins walk.. Hope you dont mind.. Shall we?" he requested..

Sanyukta smiled.. "Of course Randhir.. I ll love to see the place you grew up playing.. We shall certainly walk.." She was never going to let him feel embarrassed by letting him know that she knew why he did that. She cannot be Randhir anyday, she can never match his love and passion but she was a perfect wife in the making. They slowly made their way into the streets, all the way, Randhir showed her the places where he would go and sit whenever he felt alone, the place where he would cry without getting noticed, the place where he used to yell at the top of his voice yet there wouldnt be anyone to console, the place where he used to lie down for hours together, watching the skies, without being searched for by his parents.. At the end of each sentence his voice will break, he would try hard to hide his tears and eventually fail. Whenever he felt low, she would caress and hold his hand more tightly to ensure him "He was not alone anymore". There was only one perfect partner in his childhood, named Loneliness. He had eventually fallen in love with loneliness, that, at one point of time, he hated being among a group.. Even a small family felt like a mob for him. He built a wall around himself, never let anybody touch it, dare not to break it.. He arrested himself inside the wall. Sanyukta was the first ever person who had the guts to create a hole in the wall around him and get inside. She will probably be the last one too.

After a 10 long min walk, they reached Sanyal Villa.. It was indeed, a perfect Villa by all means. Surrounded by a big lawn with so many trees, it was such a perfect destination for any couple, let alone Sandhir. Sanyukta fell in love with the place, the very moment she saw it. She had to admit, Mrs Renuka Sanyal had some taste. "This is the place Sanyukta.. We are finally here.. Doesnt it look beautiful? It only looks beautiful coz this place doesnt know the real meaning of beautiful.. I hate it call it my Home.." Randhir's voice was rigid..

"Randhir.. Dont call it your home then.. Its my sasural.. Chalo ab.." she dragged him inside, she was happy that made him smile feebly. They pressed the door bell and waited for a reply. After a quick 30 second wait, someone opened the door.. Randhir's facial expression changed on seeing the person, he hugged him "Kaka.. kaise ho aap?"
