Randhir and Parth came to their college, Randhir parked his audi and both entered at the college campus. The environment of the college was full with joy and colours. Students were busy in playing holi, there were some stalls of jelibi, sweets and thandai also. All were laughing, scramming, running and enjoying.

"Wow what an atmosphere, so colourful. What you say Randhir?"

"Hmm nice." Randhir replied.

"Only nice?" Parth raised his brows.

"No I like it." Randhir passed a smile.

"But I love it, okay lets enjoy, come."

They meet their old friends, all greeted each others with colours. Soon Parth mixed with the atmosphere when Randhir was stood on a side.

"Come on Randhir why are you standing there alone?"

"Umm Parth you enjoy I have to go."

"What we are just came bro!"

"Parth I have important work."

"But Randhir..."

"Please Parth I have to go." Randhir pleaded.

"Okay but after thandai, bhaiya two glasses of thandai please." He said to the man who is busy making thandai.

"One minute." The person said, just then somebody called Parth.

"Randhir you wait here I'm just coming." Randhir nodded and Parth left.

"Bhaiya fast." Randhir said that man.

"Wait." The thandai maker said.

"How much time?" Randhir asked impatiently.

"Aare it's take some time, wait."

"You give it to me today or in next holi?"

Randhir became impatience, he saw some glasses of thandai are kept one side.

"Aare why you tell me for wait when it's already here?" He take one glass and started drinking.

"Aare aare bhaiya keya kar rahe ho yeh bhang ka hain!" Randhir drink that in one breath.

"Nice, one more." He take one more glass.

"Aare bhai keya kar raho ho!" The man shouted, soon Randhir finished that too.

"Aare now where is Parth, why he was wasting my time to bring me here, I have to go but first let me wash this bloody colours."

He going to the washroom. On the way his head started spinning and vision got blur due to the bhang. He caught his head and search for the washroom, but his luck he take a wrong turn and came in the girl's washroom.

He open the door and understand that it's a girl's washroom.

"Shit I came to the wrong place."

He about to go when he heard a giggle and his gaze fixed on the owner of that voice.

There was a girl in front of the mirror. She was giggling with her friend. Randhir can't saw her face but he can saw her perfect curved which was clad by a white salwar, which was no more white due to colours. Her face was covered by colours, she turned on the tap and washed them. And when she lifted her face Randhir felt a lightning in front of his eyes to saw her reflection on the mirror. Her smiling face, glowing skin, big eyes, long black hairs, she was so beautiful. The effect of bhang was nothing in front of her beauty. Randhir's gaze just fixed on her when she noticed him at the door.

"Hey what are you doing here it's girl's washroom?" She asked but Randhir was lost in somewhere else.

The girl came in front of him.

"Hey who are you?" The girl asked when Randhir just look at her hazel orbs.

"Are you def?" She asked again thus Randhir came back to his senses.

"Haan!" He said confusingly.

"I said it's a girl's washroom, what are you doing here?"

"I'm sorry, I came here by mistake."

"Mistake, it's a lame excuse Mr. You came here intentionally."

"Why I do that Miss?" Randhir asked.

"To came closer the girl's." The girl replied.

"I don't gave any excuses, it's fact and I'm not but lots of girl's are dying to came closer me lady." Saying this he left the place when that girl stood there totally confused.

"What are you thinking Sanyukta?" Asked her friend.

"You see na Kaustaki how rude he was!" Sanyukta said annoyingly.

"Forget him Sanyukta let's go Jiggy must be waiting." And they both left from there.

Randhir came out from the washroom, he was still in a daze. He gulped some more glasses of thandai, but this time bhang can't take charge over him.

Sanyukta and Kaustaki also came out and search for Jignesh.

"Now where is Jiggy?" Kaustaki said looking everywhere.

"Don't worry we will find him. You look there and I look there."

Sanyukta said and they both split both side. Sanyukta was looking for Jiggy when she bumped with Parth.

"Aauch, hey watch out." Sanyukta said rubbing her forehead.

"Sorry sorry." Parth was huffing.

"Yeh aachha hain, pehele dhakka do aur phir sorry bol do, hum ladkiya tho ready raheti hain na maaf karne ke liye!" She crossed her hands against her chest.

"I'm really very sorry, wo main aapne dosto se baach raha tha, galti se aapse takra geya." Parth's friends came and applied colours on him and run away.

"See they caught me." He smiled.

"I'm sorry wo..." Sanyukta felt embarrassed.

"Aare it's okay I can understand." He smiled, Sanyukta also smiled.

"Hi I'm Sanyukta Agarwal, final year student."

"Hi I'm Parth Kashyap, ex student."

"Aap tho humare senior hain aur guest vi."

"Umm senior, guest it's sounds too formal, what about friends?" He forward his hand.

"Sure why not!" She shake hand with Parth.

"Nice to meat you."

"Same here, waise which year?"

"2010 batch. Parth replied."

"2010 batch, means you was the class met of Randhir Singh Shekhawat, right?"

"Yes we are quite good friends."

"Ohh that means you know him?"

"Wow it's great I don't know that Randhir is still famous between the girl's!" He said playfully.

"No no it's not like that, I just heard about him, he was rank no 1, in studies and sports both."

"Hmm and now no 1 businessman, come I'll introduce you with him."

"What is he here?" She was surprised.

"Yeah."

Parth was searching for Randhir but don't found him.

"Umm I think he must be left, he was in a hurry."

"It's okay, next time." Sanyukta said.

"Sure." Parth smiled.

"Okay bye." Sanyukta smiled.

"Bye." Parth smiled also.

She wave a bye and left from there. But they can't noticed that Randhir watched them from a little distance.

Sanyukta left when Parth stood there still watching at her retreating figure when Randhir came there.

"Who is she?" Randhir asked.

"Hey you still here, I thought you left, shit man." Parth said disappointedly.

"Why, what happened?" Randhir asked to him.

"I want to meet you with someone."

"With whom?" Randhir asked again.

"Sanyukta."

"Who?"

"Sanyukta Agarwal, aare that girl who was standing with me."

"Ohh so her name is Sanyukta!" Randhir smirked.

"Dude did you mate with him?" He surprised.

"Why?" Randhir avoid the question.

"Actually I wants to introduce you with her."

"But why?" Randhir asked curiously.

"No reason, but she did not show any excitement to heard your presence. Dude I must say you lost your charm." Parth mocked him.

"No way, I'm Randhir Singh Shekhawat. Not any random girl can't avoid me."

"Chill dude it's okay, let's go."

Said this Parth go towards the parking when Randhir stood there.

"Sanyukta Agarwal."

He murmured her name under his breath when Parth called him.

"Come on Randhir we are getting late." And Randhir left also.

Later at the evening Randhir was sat on his office and gulping whiskey, just then Yoyo entered at his cabin.

"Sirji aapne bulaya mujhe?"

"Haan kuch kaam hain."

"Mujhe pata tha sirji, jab aapka phone aaya tha main tabvi samajh gaya, yeh dekhiye full taiyari ke saath aaya hu." He about to show him some pictures.

"I don't need it Yoyo."

"Aare sirji ekbaar dekh tho lijiye, bahut muskil se raazi karwaya iss chidiya ko, sone ki panchhi hain." Yoyo gave a shameless smile.

"Sanyukta Agarwal, final year student of Delhi University. Go and get her."

"What sirji?"

"I said go and get her, I want her and only her, do you understand?" He said in a cold voice.

"Ji sirji, ho jayega."

Yoyo left immediately when Randhir was busy gulping whiskey. Sanyukta's face flashed in front of his eyes.

"Sanyukta ready to be mine babe."

He smirked devilishly when Sanyukta take twist and turn in her peaceful slumber totally unaware about the eclipse which will coming towards her life soon.

                       * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta and Kaustaki came out from their college and wait for the bus at bus stand. Yoyo who is desperately waiting for her outside at the college look at Sanyukta. They are waiting for bus when Yoyo came slowly and stood beside Sanyukta.

"Hello Ji."

Yoyo flashed his teeth, Sanyukta look at him once then ignored him.

"Hello madam kyu aapne nazuk nazuk payro ko taklif de rahi ho, itni dhoop mein khadi rahogi tho yeh sone jaisa rang pighal jayega."

Sanyukta gave a disgusting look to him then ignore him, when Yoyo is continuing.

"I know har ladki ki tarha tumhara vi kuch aarmaan hain, wo sab pura ho sakta hain, tum chaho tho keya nehi mill sakta tumhe, bangla, car, paisa, aaisho-aaram, baas tumhara ek ishara hi kaafi hain..."

Thaaapp... And Sanyukta slapped him tight.

"Itna ishara kaafi hain yeah aur du?"

Yoyo caressing his cheek while looking at her in disbelieve when Sanyukta left along with Kaustaki as their bus was came.

"Who is he?" Kaustaki asked confusingly.

"Don't know, bloody jerk." Sanyukta replied irritatingly.

"Keya bakwaas kar raha tha!"

"Leave it Kaustu."

"Waise cultural programme mein chief guest koyn hone wala hain pata hain na Sanyu?"

"Haan pata hain Kaustu."

"Aur PKC sir ne unhe invite karne ke liye tujhe bola hain."

"I know." Sanyukta sighed.

"Feeling nervous?" Kaustaki teased her.

"Why I'm nervous?" Sanyukta asked surprisingly.

"Cause the chief guest is non other then the great Randhir Singh Shekhawat." Kaustaki smirked and Sanyukta made a face.

"Great hoga tere liye, mere liye tho sirf ek challenge hain, jiska record mujhe break karni hain baas." She was determined.

"Chill Sanyu, waise socha hain kab invite karne jayegi usse?"

"Haan kaal sunday hain tho usske ghar jayenge invite karne."

"Okay." Kaustaki replied.

"Jald se jald yeh fest khatam ho, tho main finals ke liye preparation start karu."

Sanyukta said in her mind and looked outside through the window.

                      * * * * * * * * *

Randhir laughed like a maniac as Yoyo told him about the incident.

"You are such an idiot Yoyo." He laughed again.

"Sirji ussne aapka proposal ka jwabab aaise diya aur aap ho ke muskura rahe ho?"

Yoyo show his cheek to Randhir where Sanyukta's finger prints were still visible.

"Ussne mere proposal ka jwabab nehi diya, teri bewakufi ka jwabab diya hain." Randhir replied with a smirk.

"Tho sirji aab keya?"

"You are such a hopeless, ek kaam thik se nehi hota tujse?"

"Wo sirji wo..."

"Shut up, har koi paisa dekh kar usske pichhe nehi bhagta, tab tak, jab tak usse aapni sahi keemat nehi milta. Aab uss Sanyukta ko main aapne style se impress karunga. Usski bio-data laya hain?"

"Baas baas, kaafi hain, now you leave."

Yoyo left when Randhir playing with his paper waits.

"So much attitude haan, now wait and watch, how can I impress you Sanyukta and how easily you melt babe." He gave an evil smirk.

                        * * * * * * * * *

Next morning Sanyukta is waiting for Kaustaki whn the door bell rang, she quickly open the door imagine Kaustaki. But when she open the door a delivery boy handel her a bouquet with a chit. She keep the bouquet on a table and open the chit and read it.

''The most precious flowers for the most precious lady and for her priceless smile also....'' Your Well Wisher.....

"Well Wisher!" Sanyukta read the note and got confused.

"Kisne bheja hoga yeh!" She got surprised.

"Jiji koyn hain?" Came a voice from behind. Sanyukta turned and saw her sister Panchhi stood at her behind.

"Wo delivery boy."

Panchhi saw the bouquet.

"Wow jiji beautiful flowers, kisne bheja?"

"Umm pata nehi kisne veja!"

"Aare isski koi aasique ne bheja hoga, college padne thodi na jati hain, yeh sab gulcharre urane jati hain!"

Came a voice from behind and a woman entered. Sanyukta's chachi Laxmiji a 40 years old lady entered at the room.

"Chachi wo..."

"Chup, bol kahase aaye yeh phool aur kisne bheja?" Her aunty asked with anger.

"Chachi main saach mein nehi janti, bhejne wale ne naam nehi likha."

"Sharam nehi aati jhoot bolte huye, aaj kisi ladke ne phool bheja hain, kaal koi ladka ghar aah jayega, tujhe keya padosi tho hume hi chaar baantein sunayenge na!" She scrammed.

"Maa aap aaise kyu bol rahi ho, jiji ko phool koi ladki vi tho bhej sakti hain?" Panchi said to her mom.

"Khabardar jo mujhse jaban ladai tho!" Laxmiji glared at Panchi.

"Keya baat hain subha subha itna shor kyu?"

Came a voice and next moment Sanyukta's uncle Hariji came there. Hariji was about 46 years, but he looks at 50+ years old man.

"Keya baat hain subha subha gussa kyu kar rahi ho?" He asked looking at them.

"Gussa nehi karungi tho keya aarti utaru isski, ek tho aapni maa-baap ko kha geyi, phir hum pe bojh bani huyi hain aur upar se yeh sab, chiii!" Laxmiji spat out venom when Sanyukta's eyes became moist.

"Chachi maine kuch nehi kiya." Sanyukta started sobbing now.

"Chup ekdam chup." Her chachi said loudly.

"Keya kiya hain Sanyu ne?" Hariji asked.

"Keya kiya hain! Yeh dekho." Laxmiji showed him the bouquet.

"Kisi ladke ne bheja hain, aaj phool bheja kaal ghar aah jayega, isse tho koi sharam hain nehi, badnami tho humari hogi, sochiye koyn karega chutki se shaadi?" Laxmiji shaded some tears.

"Laxmi tum baat kahase kaha le jaa rahi ho, aur Sanyu aaisa nehi hain."

"Haan haan aap tho bolonge hi na, peyari bhatiji jo hain, lekin khabardar mere upor kuch bolne ki kousish ki tho, aachha nehi hoga." She left the room in anger. Hariji kept his one hand on Sanyukta's head.

"Chachaji maine kuch nehi kiya." She was crying now.

"Janta hu meri bachhi, lekin tum vi aapni chachi ko janti ho na."

He shook his head in disappointment and also left, while Sanyukta still crying. Panchi came to her and touched her shoulder.

"Jiji mat rou na please." She wiped her tears and said.

"Mujhe bilkul aachha nehi lagta, maa aapse jaise baat karti hain." Panchi made an angry face.

"Aaisa nehi bolte chutki."

"But I love you jiji."

"I love you too." They hugged and laughed.

"And I love you both." Came a voice, Sanyukta and Panchi look at door and saw Kaustaki there.

"Keya baat hain subha subha hug-sug and I love you all!" She asked while entered.

"Wo baat aaisa hain ki..." Panchi told her everything.

"Keya baat hain phool, chit haan!" She winked at her.

"Shut up Kaustu tu baith main chai lati hu." Sanyukta came to the kitchen, Laxmi was boiling milk.

"Chachi wo Kaustaki aayi hain tho usski liye chai."

"Haan haan kyu nehi dudh, chini tho muft hain na, tum aapne dosto ko ghar bulao aur kharcha hum kare!" She twisted her lips.

"Chinta mat kijiye chachi main aaj chai nehi piyungi." Sanyukta said politely.

"Haan haan taki padosi yeh bole ke hum tumhe khane pine nehi dete, badnami tho humari hogi." Sanyukta kept quite and boiled the water.

"Waise kyu aayi hain wo?" Her chachi asked.

"Wo college ke kaam se hume bahar jana hain tho..."

"Tho ghar ka sara kaam aap hi kar lo chachi ji, yehi bolna chahati ho na! Main tho naukrani hu ghar ki, tum Maharani ho kaam kyu karogi!" Her chachi said in a sarcastic way.

"Nehi chachi wo..."

"Aur ek minute chutti ke din konsa college ka kaam, kahi gulcharre urane jaah rahi ho keya?"

"Nehi chachi bahut important kaam hain main jaldi aah jayungi."

Sanyukta said slowly and left the kitchen after making the tea.

"Kab yeh bojh utregi mere saad se!" Her chachi cursed own fate.

Sanyukta entered with tea and gave Kaustaki.

"Yaar jaldi kar late ho raha hain, uss Randhir Shekhawat ke ghar jana hain ki nehi?"

"Haan haan jana hain na." Sanyukta said.

"Koyn Randhir jiji?" Panchi asked.

"Tumhare jiji ka Hero." Kaustaki cracked a joke.

"Keya saach!" Prachi asked surprisingly.

"Nehi chutki, keya Kaustu tu vi aab chal."

And they left for their destination, but who knows that Kaustaki's joke will be true in future and today Sanyukta will reach at her own destination.
