"One step at a time, leads to ultimate results.."

*******************

Randhir smiled seeing this and quickly pecked her forehead. A shiver ran down Sanyukta's spine and she opened her eyes to find him smiling down at her.

"I don't mind kissing you but it's better we take things slowly..Right?" He gave his most famous teasing smirk.

Sanyukta had turned a deep shade of crimson listening to all his words and smiled. She had started feeling blessed that she was about to have a caring partner like him and her respect for him increased a new height.

"Well don't you think we created a very dramatic moment, just like they show in the movies?"

She giggled as she looked away and nodded. They indeed were acting like teenagers, who are giddy about starting their first relationship.

"Well, I agree with you, but before we start our relationship, I have a condition that you must fulfill."

Randhir was confused+tensed listening to this and gestured her to continue.

Sanyukta giggled seeing his reaction. She just placed her hands in his and held them tightly. "Chill it's not that much. You just have to agree to come whenever I will be going to meet my parents, you will accompany me. And that might be almost once a week. You better not deny this, Okay?

Randhir breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled at her so-called "condition". He just lifted her hand that was within his and placed a gentle kiss on her knuckles. "That's not even a condition Dumbo. Of course it's an implied condition, and why only me, we'll take my parents with us as well. Through this, we'll have an awesome get together."

Sanyukta blushed again when he kissed her knuckles and smiled while listening to his words. Thanks to him, she was about to set a world record of blushing like million times in just a day.

"That's a relief you know. Otherwise I have seen some grooms saying that there was no way they could this much as it's not 'appropriate' for a girl to go to her parent's home after marriage. These kinds of mentalities are still prevailing in our society."

Randhir smiled at her confession and felt proud of his mom dad's choice." Of course, they are the people who need to learn more values about family."

She smiled and nodded.

"I can totally understand where you are coming from Sanyukta. Since I was a child, I was always told to respect people's values and their upbringing. It totally depends on how much culture you want to be instilled in your child. That's very important. I have seen my female friends who have settled abroad missing their parents like hell, and they just want to meet them, but the 'work' doesn't leave them. And on the other hand, it's sad that some people don't even care about their parents, and leave without a word."

Sanyukta somehow felt he was talking about someone very close at the end of the conversation but kept quiet. He'll be okay and tell her once the right time comes. She was sure about that.

"I know, shame on them. They don't know what they miss. That's why I kinda had this condition so that I can never miss my parents at all. Who knows what might happen if my Mother missed scolding me like before. I certainly can't miss that." She giggled and made him chuckle at this.

"I think we need to get back to your home. Our Parents might be getting worried."

She also chucked, "Yes, I think we took much time??"

"Hmmm chalo lets go.."

"Yup"

And with this both headed towards Randhir's car and Randhir as usual opened the door for her. She smiled in appreciation and sat and they drove off.

Here at Aggrawal house everyone was expecting the 'supposed-couple' to come ASAP so that they come to know their respective decisions.

The doorbell rang and Anju quickly went and opened the door. Both came in with a straight face.

Sanyukta was having a frown on her face. And Randhir was looking confused

"What happened children, You seem tense. What's your decision?"

Sanyukta turned towards Randhir and angrily clutched his collars, "How dare you??"

Randhir as well as others were shocked to see Sanyukta this much angry.

Without giving Randhir any chance to speak Sanyukta turned towards Kishore and pointing towards her nose exclaimed something which had everyone bursting into fits of laughter. Sanyukta looked offended and Randhir was trying hard to control his own laughter.

Kishore still having tears due to laughter and clutched her shoulders and hugged her to his chest."Beta, care to explain what happened and who told you that your nose looks fat?"

Sabyukta glared at Randhir and narrated the incident that happened in Randhir's car

Flashback......

In Car

"Acha Sanyukta let's surprise our parents and create some drama. What say??" He asked excitedly.

She scrunched her eyebrows and confusion and gave him a look to explain.

"Are baba, I'm just saying that, Let's create some drama, not agreeing that we are okay with each other.

"You mean, we have to act?"

"Yeah, Exactly. You just pretend to be angry with me, saying that I dared to make fun of your fat nose. This seems perfect, as you do have a Fat nose." And he laughed.

But Sanyukta got angry and folded her hands near her chest and remained silent throughout the entire journey. Randhir was confused that what happened to her suddenly and tried to strike up a conversation. But she kept numb.

Flashback end.

Everyone laughed again

"What, Papa, You are taking his side and laughing at my Fat nose?"

Kishore just laughed and hugged her finally feeling happy for his daughter. Sanyukta suddenly looked at everyone and then at Randhir who was accusingly staring at her. At first she didn't understand Randhir's gesture then she realized that she had actually taken it seriously while Randhir had said to act the drama.

Sanyukta bit her tongue and mumbled a sorry to Randhir.

Renuka came forward and lightly caressed her hair, "That's fine beta at least we got our answers. Now we should start preparing for Marriage."

Kishore agreed happily and with this, they went outside to discuss something leaving Both of them alone. Randhir bumped his shoulder with hers excitedly. "Hmmm so finally we will be getting married !! I'm so excited."

Sanyukta was still not ok and just hummed making some funny poker faces. But something was surely wrong with Randhir as when he saw this, his heart skipped again. Gosh his heart was skipping beats again and again. He might actually make some world records, thanks to his heart. He came towards her almost reducing every minute space, He kissed her nose and pinched it lightly. "I don't mind the fat nose you know. I like it anyway."

Sanyukta's anger vanished and she blushed and innocently tilted her head slightly.

He bumped their foreheads playfully and he joined their foreheads staring in her eyes promising to live together forever.

Well Maybe..
