As the dawn disappeared Randhir came back to home. Today he was in a good mood and want to spend the time with his special friend Sanyukta. He knocked at the door of her room but don't get any answer so he entered at the room but not found her there. He kept a box on her bed and came out from the room.

He was looking for her and came to the pool side area when his eyes fall on her who was sitting beside the pool. She was staring at the pool when cool breeze strew her hairs continuously.  He smiled and came closer to her.

"Tum pani mein kudene wali ho yeah phir pani tum par kude iss baat ki wait kar rahi ho?" He asked her teasingly when she look at him confusingly.

"Keya?" She asked confusingly.

"Nehi mujhe laga ke tum pani mein kud kar aapni jaan dene wali ho!" He said playfully when she rolled her eyes.

"Main kyu aapna jaan du, jaan de mere dushman!" She glared him when he maintain a straight face.

"Nehi mujhe laaga ke maine tumhe moti kaha uss dukh mein tum kahi aapni jaan na de do!" He chuckled a bit.

"Main moti nehi laag rahi thi, Kaustu ne vi confirm kiya!" She said irritatingly.

"Aare she is your friend na so how can she disappointed you by saying the truth! But don't worry Sanyukta main tumhe itna over time karwayunga office mein ke tum jaldi se sukhi lakdi baan jayogi, I mean ladki!" He chuckled hard this time when she catch his game.

"Main tho yeha haar roz aati hu shaam ko, aap late aate ho na iss liye aapko nehi pata." She said looking at the pool.

"You loved it?" He asked when sat beside her.

"Yeah, very much." She said excitedly.

"Ohh tab tho swimming vi karti hogi?" He asked when she nodded a no.

"I don't know how to swim." She replied slowly.

"What, you don't?" He asked when she shook her head and look down.

"Ohh it's not a big deal, kaal hi tumhari admission karwa deta hu swimming club mein!" He shrugged his shoulder.

"Jee nehi, mujhe nehi sikhna." She replied.

"Kyu, aare sikh lo, tumhara hi profit hoga, moti nehi bulayenge log!" He laughed when she hit on his shoulder playfully.

"Main moti nehi hu!" She pouted.

"Okay baba, but phir vi shikhne mein keya problem hain?" He asked confusingly when she look down.

"Wo....wo mujhe....mujhe hain na....pani se darr lagta hain!" She said hesitantly when he gave her a confused look and next bursted out at laugh.

"Keya, tumhe pani se daar lagta hain....tho phir tum nahati kaise ho? Yeah phir nahati hi nehi ho gandi bachhi kahiki!" He laughed loudly when she rolled her eyes.

"Yeh aapse kisne kaha main haar roz 2 baar nahati hu, subha aur shaam ko." She said irritatingly.

"Are you sure?" He asked when laughing continuously.

"What do you mean by that, yes I'm sure." She was fuming in anger.

"You scared of water!" He laughed again when frowned lines appeared on her face.

"No, not exactly water, actually it's about river, lake, pool....I scared of them." He cleared his confusion.

"Kyu dub jayogi iss liye?"

"Nehi shark aah jayega issi liye." She replied slowly thus he look at her surprisingly.

"Shark?" He asked confusingly.

"Haan....shark, actually I watched 'Jaws' in my childhood and after that day I was scared to swim." She replied hesitantly when Randhir's mouth open as perfect 'O'.

"You are scared of swimming cause of that hollywood movie?" He asked shockingly when she nodded a yes.

"That's a horrible movie sir." She replied thus he again bursted out of laugh.

"Sanyukta tumhe tho award milni chahiye....the most innocent girl of this universe." He mocked her when she rolled her eyes.

"Aapko haasi aah rahi hain?" She frowned.

"Nehi actually mujhe rona aah raha hain tumhari common sense par but  aapna haasi vi rok nehi paa raha hu tumhara stupidity dekh kar!" He said while laughing.

"Huhhh....I was only 7 then, tab mujhe keya pata ke keya fiction hain or keya real?" She replied irritatingly.

"Tumhe tho aabhi vi nehi pata kuch vi, you are grown only by body but aakal se aabhi vi 7 saal ki bachhi hi ho!" He mocked her.

"Huhhn....aapko bahut pata hain!" She asked angrily.

"Iss pool mein koi shark nehi hain itna tho definitely pata hain." He said teasingly.

"Huhhh....isska keya guaranty hain ke nehi hain? Keya pata aapne koi  shark ko hi pet rakhha ho, aap jaise rich kids tho aaise ajeeb ajeeb cheeze hi karta hain!" She twisted her lips.

"Is that so, then I have to give you the prove that I'm absolutely fine." He said and next moment jumped at the pool when she get up instantly.

"Aare yeah aap keya kar rahe ho?" She asked confusingly.

"Prove kar raha hu ke yeha par koi shark nehi." He replied.

"Haan aur yeha vi prove ho geya hain ke aap pagol ho." She replied twisting her lips.

"Sanyukta?" He called her thus she look at him.

"Come here." He said gazing at her and she was froze by his words.

"Sanyukta was froze to listen Randhir."

"Ke....keya?" She stammered.

"Come here." He gesture her to came in the pool.

"Nehi nehi, aap hi swimming karo." She replied quickly thus he came out of the pool.

"Keya huya chalo aaj tumhara darr nikalta hu!" He said and hold her wrist.

"Ne....nehi nehi mujhe nehi jana!" She tried to free herself.

"Aare chalo!" He pulled her with him when she denied.

"Nehi nehi sir, mujhe nehi jana please." She pleaded and tried to stop him.

"Nope I don't listen you today, you have to face your fear." They came at the edge of the pool when Sanyukta gave a bite on his hand suddenly.

"Aauchhh..." He let out a scream and leave her hand instantly and next moment Sanyukta pushed him at the pool.

"Sanyuktaaa....are you gone mad!" Randhir was astonished by her behavior.

"Dhakka kyu mara aur kata kyu mujhe?" He asked shockingly.

"You forced me to do it only!" She crossed her hands against her chest.

"I'll see you Sanyukta, I won't leave you for this. I'll take revenge for sure, dekh lena isska badla tho main lekar hi rahunga!" He said determinedly thus she laughed.

"Okay I'll see." She laughed and ran away.

"Okay we will see Sanyukta!" He smirked looking at her retreating figure.

Sanyukta came to her room, she was smiling remembering past moments when her eyes fall on the box kept on her bed. She slowly open the packet and see a laptop. Some confused lines appeared on her forehead. Just then her eyes fall on a sticker.

''It's not a gift at all, you are also a part of 'Shekhawat Industries' now, so use it for the official chaos. All the best."

She read it and a small smile crept on her lips.

"You are way the stubborn than me Sir!" She sighed deeply.

When the dinner time arrived both came to the dining table. Randhir gave her a tough look when she look at him confusingly. They sat together,  Sanyukta passed a smile to him when he glared at her.

"Aare galti khud ki hain aur aankhein mujhe dikha rahe hain, huhhh!" She murmured under her breath.

"Ek tho galti ki aur phir sorry vi nehi bola, kaise innocent baan kar baithi hain, huhhh!" He murmured under his breath.

Both sat in silence when the maid served them the dinner. Randhir was  surprised to saw that the maid served a bowl of fruit salad to Sanyukta only.

"What's this Sanyukta, only fruits?" He asked surprisingly.

"Haan mujhe yehi khana hain." She replied slowly when ate a piece of fruit.

"Keya, lekin kyu! Ohh now I get it dieting and all haan! I called you fatty at morning that's why!" He asked mockingly when she kept mum.

"Listen bring other dishes for ma'am also." He ordered to the maid.

"But sir ma'am said she just wants to eat fruit salad in dinner only so I don't cook for ma'am." The maid replied slowly.

"What the hell Sanyukta, what's all this! Tumne bola tumhare liye khana nehi banane ke liye?" He asked shockingly when she gesture to the maid to go.

"Aare itna kyu over react kar rahe ho aap chup chap dinner kijiye na aur mujhe vi karne dijiye!" She replied coolly.

"Aachha aur keya khayogi yeh ghash-phush?" He raised his brows.

"Ghash-phush nehi fruits hain." She made a face.

"Shut up, aakal ghash charne geyi hain tumhari jo ek mazak nehi samajhti! I was right you are growing only by body not brain!" He said annoyingly when take another plate and put some pulao on that plate from his plate.

"Aare aare aap yeh keya kar rahe ho?" She asked surprisingly.

"Kabhi school nehi geyi keya, don't you know isse sharing kahete hain!" He said when continue his work.

"But aap keya khayog phir, aap tho bhukhe rahe jayoge?" She asked confusingly.

"Yeh baat tumhe pahele sochna chahiye tha cook ko mana karne se pehele." He said when forwarding the plate at her. She looked at him once then look at the plate confusingly.

"Ghurne ke liye nehi khane ke liye diya hain!" He mocked her when she rolled her eyes.

"Okay I'll eat this but in one condition." She said look at him.

"I'm your boss Agarwal not you, so don't argue." He faked anger.

"Aap boss office mein ho but yeh ghar hain yeha na main aapka employee hu air na aap mere boss." She smirked at him when he glared at her.

"Soch lijiye warna mera fruit salad zindabaad!" She mocked him thus he rolled his eyes.

"Okay fine, now shoot!" He maintain a straight face.

"Okay, aagar main aapke saath dinner share karungi tho phir aapko vi mere saath fruit salad share karna padega." She smiled at him.

"What, impossible....I don't like fruits, khane ka tho sawal hi nehi hain!" He shrugged his shoulder.

"Okay, tho phir aap aapna dinner khao aur main aapna salad." She also shrugged her shoulder.

"It's cheating Sanyukta, it's blackmailing!" He was shocked.

"Aab jo hain so hain, aagar share karenge tho dono karenge warna koi nehi." She smirked at him when he have no other option but do agree with her.

"Okay done." He replied sternly and take his plate.

"Aab keya huya khao, I'm agree with your condition." He said.

"Aapko agree tho hona hi tha." She smiled and they started eating.

After taking their dinner Sanyukta put half salad on a bowl and give it to him.

"Yeh lijiye." She said when Randhir look at her once then look at the bowl.

"Ghurne ke liye nehi khane ke liye diya hain!" She copied him thus he smirked at her.

"What, haasne ki keya baat hain?" She asked surprisingly.

"You already take your dinner aab aagar main yeh salad na khau tho!" He grinned at her thus her jaw dropped.

"You don't do this, you promised me!" She in a daze now.

"Aagar nehi khau tho?" He smirked at her when she glared at him.

"Okay miss copy cat you won I loose, now happy!" He said between his smile and took the bowl.

"But honestly Sanyukta I don't like fruit or fruit salad." He said glancing at the bowl.

"Aur pata hain phir hum ne shopping vi kiya." She smiled brightly.

"Tum ladkiyo ko shopping ke saath itna attachment kyu hain, shopping ki naam lete hi face 100 wards bulb ki tarha lighten ho jata hain?" He raised his brows.
