RANDHIR

  We both were enjoying the delicious snack of Mumbai.

  I had to take small piece due to cloth covering my mouth.Whenever I groaned due to irritation of not being able to relish the food properly, Sanyukta used to laugh and stops laughing when I glare her.

  When I took one more piece, I felt someone's gaze on me.I look around to find one of the waiter giving a suspicious glance to me.

  I quickly finished the dish along with Sanyukta and noticed that the waiter who was giving suspicious glance to me was taking to two more waiters, then all the three of them was looking at me with excited face.

  Shit! I am recognizied!!

  With this thought, I placed a five hundred rupees Indian currency on the table and followed Snyukta who was near the hand washing arena.

  "Sanyukta will you be able to run?" I asked her when we both were washing our hands.

  She turned towards me and glanced at her foot and shrugged saying "I think so..."

  "Okay, then start running once we are out ." I said looking around to find that out of the two waiters only one was glancing towards us with a huge grin but soon he was called by some guest.

  Mentally thanking the guest, I dragged Sanyukta with me out side the hotel without being noticed.

  Fortunately, there was a auto rickshaw standing nearby.The driver was talking in phone leaning on the auto.

  I tapped his shoulders and said "Bhai jaldi gaadi nikalo.."

  With this we both sat inside and the driver was irritated by our action and said "Arey! Arey!! Tu nikal bhar...apun ka gaadi ko kya samhj rakha hai aesich chad gaya."

  He was going to continue his shout but didn't as I removed the cloth covering my face.He looked like he has seen a ghost, his mouth and eyes were wide open.

  "Bhaiya gaadi nikalo na..." I said giving him a toothy grin.

  He like robot who follows instructions started the auto.Sanyukta was looking at him like he was an alien and brusted laughing may be realizing what happened.Soon the driver also started smiling and I chuckled.

  "Sirji apun apka bhaut bada fan hai." He said turning back.

"App please aage dekhar chaliye."Sanyukta panicked.

  "Arrey madamji apun bees saal se gaadi chalata hai kabi
k

huch nehi hua , fikar not madam." With this the guy looked forward

  "Sirji apun ko apke saath ek selfie milega kya, apun usko frame karwaega wo bhi ekdam jhakaas wali."He was excited.

  "Haan bhaiya jaroor."I replied.

  "Waise sirji app auto mei...."He trailed off.

  "Wo bhaut din hogaye auto ki sawaari karke isseliye aagey." I smiled.

  "Sir, khan jana hai?"He asked.

  "Andheri East , aur kahi Domino's ya Pizza Hut bich mein aaye tho rokhna."

  He nodded and after 10 minutes he stopped near Domino's when I was going to buy pizzas the guy stopped and said "Apun leke aayega app yahinch beto.App kaiko bheed mei jaake phaase?"

  I nodded and handed him money to buy the pizza.

  He went to bring pizza and I looked at Sanyukta who was looking at me.

  "What?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

  "Your cute, lets go back home you won the challenge." She spoke looking into my eyes.

  "What? Why so?"I was puzzled.

  "Look here, you already have marks due to the cloth tied around and also I felt horrible seeing you eat the pavs." She said while caressing my face.

  "Yeah...thats why you were laughing." I rolled my eyes.

She giggled "Aww...baby you are so cute."

  "Stop cooing me." I removed her hands faking anger.

  "Are you angry?"She pouted and hugged me from side.

  "Ahem...Sirji ye apka pizza olive toppings ke saath."He gave the package of pizza to me.

  Sanyukta cheeks turned a light hue of pink and moved away from me.

  I suppressed my chuckles and thanked him.

  Then we started moving with the guy whose name was Ramesh talking about cricket. The one and half hour later journey seemed like minutes with talks of cricket and clearing doubts of Sanyukta regarding cricket.He also congratulated us for the marriage which he learnt after promising to not to open his mouth to anyone.

  "Bhaiya yahan se left aur ek left sidhe jaake." I gave him directions.

  "Sirji lo aagye, yahan kuch locha lagra hai." Ramesh spoke after coming out of the auto and looking around.

  "Nehi aisa kuch nehi bas koi aata nehi yahan par." I said while taking the money from my purse to give him.

  "Sirji selfie!!" Ramesh said taking out his smart phone.

  Then I posed with him a few pics along with Sanyukta and asked to not to post that anywhere.He thanked me and left giving his phone number saying to call him whenever I felt travelling in auto.

  "Come!"I said taking Sanyukta inside the building.

SANYUKTA

  Randhir brought me somewhere which I thought never existed in Mumbai.It looked like a church of few centuries back.

  "This place is little strange, how come no one come here?" My curiosity popped out.

  "Its haunted." Randhir spoke in a ghostly voice from behind.

  "Aah.." I scream a little rubbing my arms to sue away the goosebumps arised due to the scary voice.

  Randhir laughed like a said the best joke of the date.I slapped his biceps which hurt my hands.This made him laugh more.

  "You...you..believe in ghosts?" He asked controlling his laugh.

  "No, I don't it was your voice which made me scar."I said frowning at him.

  He took deep breathes and controlled his laugh then smiled at me saying "This is St. John's Baptist Church was built two centuries back and many stories are related to this, now come sit and have pizzas.I will tell all the stories."

  Randhir cleaned a place with a broken branch and we both sat there.Then he started saying stories one by one which were hilarious and people's assumption.

  With the hilarious stories and history of the church both of us completed the pizza and the coke.

  "Can I get dessert?" Randhir said in a husky voice leaning forward.

  "May be." I said leaned forward to have a sense numbing kiss.
