Randhir took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit that.

"Huhhh, ladki ke saamne cigarette pe raha hain, aur mujhe kahete hain behave karne ko!" She muttered slowly which is only audible by her.

"Mera aasu sukh geye hain Sanyukta!" Randhir said suddenly thus Sanyukta look at him confusingly.

"Haan?" She asked confusingly.

"Main rota nehi hu, I don't cry." He said slowly.

"Haan, haan ladke jo ho, rone se aapki mardangi kam jo ho jayegi!" She said mockingly as she never noticed the raze in his voice.

"Rote tho wo log hain jo sensitive hote hain, jinke aandar feelings, emotions yeh sab hota hain. But I don't have anything, I'm an insensitive person Sanyukta, who never cry." He said sternly. Sanyukta was confused by his words.

"Aap kabhi vi nehi roye, that's impossible! Har koi rota hain, aap vi bachpan mein jarur roye honge, jab aapke parents aapko daatte yeah pitte honge, aap se tang aakar!" She said teasingly.

"No, they never raised hand on me. Unn hone kabhi mere aakho mein aasu aane nehi diya, aur unn dono ki death ki baad main itna roya ke mere aasu hi sukh geye!" Sanyukta was shocked by his words again.

"Unn dono ki death! But sir aapki mom tho zinda hain na, wo jo Mr. Mittal ki wife hain wohi aapki mom hain na?"

Sanyukta blurted out and next moment she was froze as she realised what she just said. Randhir's face was stiffen when Sanyukta's face lost all it's colour. Randhir look at her coldly when she stopped breathing.

"I....I....I'm sorry sir, galti se nikal geya, maine jaan bujh kar nehi kaha, sachhi!"

She said nervously as she remember last time what happened when she take his mom's name. He was mad on her. She shiver to remember that day. But to her surprise Randhir don't react that much. He just threw the remain cigarette on the floor and stomp that by his shoe.

"It's okay Sanyukta, aab tho aadat par geyi hain yeh sab sunne ki!" He said coldly when Sanyukta came closer to him.

"No sir, I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, bass confusion mein muh se nikal geya." She felt so much guilty.

"I said na it's okay, jab wo aurat aaisa cheep kaam kar sakti hain tho phir mujhe tho yeh sab baatein bear karna hi hoga." He said sternly.

"Sir please wo aapki maa hain, aap unnke ware mein aaise disrespect se baat kaise kar sakte hain?" Sanyukta asked thus he look at her shockingly.

"Maa! Yeah right maa, tho phir tum ek baat baatao koynsi maa aapne hi bete ko aakela chhod kar chali jati hain?" Randhir asked sternly.

"Unnki koi majburi vi tho ho sakti hain!" She said hesitantly.

"Majburi....aaisi kaisi majburi jo uss aurat ne aapne pati ki maut ke baad unnki business partner se shaadi kar li?" He asked when she lowered her lashes.

"Aab chup kyu ho bolo na....bolo!" He shook her hard.

"Uss aurat ne mera pura zindegi barbaad kar diya! Ekbaar vi nehi socha ke unnki iss decision se mere life par keya aasar hoga!" Randhir broke down into his knees.

"Uss aurat ki wajase mera zindegi mazak baan kar rahe geya, sabke liye main ek gossip news baan kar rahe geya tha aur kuch nehi! School mein, tutorials mein, play ground mein jaha vi jata tha sare ladke mera mazak uddate the." He started sobbing when Sanyukta also knelt down in front of him.

She was shocked to saw tears in his eyes for the very first time. Randhir Singh Shekhawat who never cry was broke down into tears in front of a girl. He looks vulnerable and Sanyukta impulsively hugged him.

"I....I'm sorry sir, mujhe nehi pata tha, I'm sorry." She said hugging him tight when Randhir also hugged her back.

"Uss aurat ne sab kuch barbaad kar diya, mera bachpan, mera past, mera present, mera future, sab kuch. She spoiled my whole life Sanyukta. I hate her, I just hate her. Mujhe unnke sakal se vi nafrat hain! Marr chuki hain wo mere liye." Randhir speaks his heart out when Sanyukta tried to console him.

"That woman left me alone and still am alone in this world. Koi nehi hain mera na family na friends, nobody." He said between his sobs when she hold him more tightly.

"Sshhhhh....it's okay, it's okay. I'm here na, I'll be always with you." She assured him when he jerked her away.

"Kyu....koyn ho tum, kyu rahogi mere saath, I know one day you will leave me alone like that woman." He said furiously when she hugged him again, this time more tightly.

"I'm your friend sir." She said slowly.

"Leave me, I don't need your sympathy." He said bitterly.

"No sir nahi main aapko sympathy dikha rahi hu aur na kabhi aapko chhod kar jayungi." She said slowly.

"No, you will leave me like everyone does." He said again.

No sir I'm your friend and friend never left another friend alone, chahe kuch vi ho jaye, so as I." She said determinedly.

"Promise?" He asked hugged her tightly when she smiled.

"I promise." And he became relaxed under her embrace.

Sir jab main aakeli thi, majbur aur besahara thi tho aapne mera saath diya, aapna dosti diya. Aapne jo kuch vi mere liye kiya unn sabka eahesan tho main nehi chuka sakti but aab jab aapko kisiki jarurat hain tho aapki yeh dost aapka saath kabhi nehi chhodegi, that I promise to myself.

She said in her mind.

The are staying like that for a long time. Sanyukta was consoling him when he find solace in her embrace. But after sometimes they came back to their senses. They open their eyes and he pulled back.

"I....I'm sorry." He said breaking the hug.

"No sir why are you saying sorry, I'm sorry for made you cry. I never knew that this matter is this much sensitive for you, how can be I so stupid !" She slapped herself thus Randhir was shocked.

"Hey are you gone mad, what are you doing?" He asked holding her hand.

"I'm sorry sir." She said again.

"Hey I told you na it's okay, then why you doing this?" He asked looking at her.

"No sir it's not okay, I hurt you several times by taking your mom's name, but that time I really don't know that what you gone through till that long and I....I'm really sorry for that. I want to say sorry much before but can't gathered courage enough but what I want to say now is SORRY." She said when tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Hey!" He cupped her face as he saw tears in her eyes.

"I told you na it's okay then why you wasting this, it's so precious." He said wiped her tears by his thumb.

"And by the way tumhe mujhse baat karne ke liye himmat ki kabse jarurat padne lagi?" He asked thus she lowered her lashes.

"Aaise tho jab dekho tab bina baat ke mera kachra karti raheti ho!" He said mockingly thus she rolled her eyes.

"Aab maine keya kiya?" She asked rubbing her nose thus he smiled at her antics.

"Bhookh lagi hain?" He asked softly thus she nodded a no.

"Lair! I know you don't eat anything since after that meeting." He said softly.

"Who said that, maine tho khaya hain." She replied.

"Aachha?" He asked surprisingly.

"Hmm, aapki daat!" She made an innocent face thus he rolled his eyes.

"But without salt and pepper, aagar hote tho maza aah jata!" And she giggled when he eyed her.

"Aachha aabhi maar khane ka irada hain keya?" He asked irritatingly.

"Usske liye tho aapko mujhe pakadna padega!" She said and ran away after pushed him.

"Sanyukta stop." He said getting up.

"Make me." She showed him the tongue.

"Aabhi dikhata hu!" He said and run towards her thus she tried to escape.

Randhir tried to chasing her when Sanyukta collided with a rack as she can't noticed that due to the lack of lights. And as a result the rack was about to fall on her.

"Sanyukta be careful."

Randhir almost screamed and before the rack fall on her he hold that. Randhir tried to push it back but the rack was really heavy and he can't take the load.

"Sanyukta niklo isski niche se, yeh girne wala hain." He said holding the rack.

Sanyukta came out safely when Randhir also came out quickly and left the rack and the rack fall on the floor making a loud noise. Sanyukta look at the rack with horrified eyes then look at him. She can't believe that they just escaped from an accident.

"Sir are you okay?" She asked hesitantly and before she realised anything she was pinned against the nearest wall.

She closed her eyes tightly in fear but she could realised that a pair of angry eyes stared at her. She was shivering when their heartbeats synchronizing along with their breaths.

"If you got a single scratch on your body Sanyukta I swear I was kill you!" He said in an icy cold voice thus she slowly open her eyes and her frightening eyes met those angry red eyes and their eyes latched next.

"S....s....sir..." She stammered as she saw the rage in his eyes when he moved closer to her.

"What sir haan! Bachhi ho aabhi jo chor-police khel rahi thi? I'm warning you for the last time Sanyukta if you won't be careful about own self then you have to regret for that, understand?" He hissed in anger when she gulped hard.

They were so close that they can feel their hot breath on each other's skin. Her heart beat started beating faster as she felt some kind of sensation in her body as per their close proximity.

"I....I'm fine sir." She managed to say and next he clasped her in a bone crushing hug.

"Just shut up okay....fine my foot! Aagar wo rack tum par gir jata tho keya karta main, haan! Aabhi pagal o ki tarha aapna saad pit raha hota main!" He was panicked to think about the worse when she was shocked by his words.

"Sir I'm fine, really." She said again to assure him thus he broke the hug. She can see the fear in his eyes, fear of losing her. And a kind of happiness hit her senses as she saw him worried for her.

"Kuy sir, aap tho har roz jym jate ho na, darwaza tod dete, warna keya faida body banane ka!" She said teasingly to make the situation light when he caught her forearm in anger.

"Tumhe mazak suz raha hain, ek jor ki padegi na tab aakal thikane aayegi!" He gritted his teeth.

"Haan haan, ek chhota sa rack nehi pakad sakte lekin ek bechari ladki par haat utha sakte ho!" She made a face when he rolled his eyes.

"Bechari ladki! Yeha par bechari koyn hain aur ladki koyn hain?" He asked thus she look at him confusingly.

"Sir main....main ladki hu!" She replied surprisingly.

"Puch rahi ho ke baata rahi ho?" He asked mockingly.

"Baata rahi hu, ke aapka Hitler raaz jyada din tak nehi chalega!" She said angrily.

"See tum koi ladki wadki nehi ho, haan ladki jaisi chees ho but ladki bilkul nehi ho, I'm confident about that." He said checking her out top to bottom once thus she glared at him.

"Look Mr. Shekhawat..." But before she can complete he interrupt her.

"Aur bechari, huhhh....mujhe bech kar kha jayogi aur dakaar vi nehi logi, tum aur bechari....what a joke!" He said mockingly thus she rolled her eyes.

"You know what mujhe aapse baat nehi karni." She said angrily.

"Mujhe vi koi saukh nehi hain tumse baat karne ka." He replied.

"Huhhh!"

"Huhhh!"

And they both go to two different corners of the room.

They are sitting away but steeling glances of each other time to time. Suddenly their eyes met and she quickly look away.

"Huhhh!"

"Huhhh!"

He also looked away.

"Copy cat." She said slowly thus he look at her.

"Kuch kaha?" He asked thus she look at him.

"Haan, yehi ke mujhe aapke saath hi iss room mein lock hona tha, koi aur nehi mila bhagbaan ji ko!" She said irritatingly.

"You know what for the very first time humari soch same hain. Main vi yehi soch raha tha ke mujhe tumhare saath hi iss room mein lock hona tha, God ko koi aur mila nehi!" He also said irritatingly.

"Haan koi vi chalta mujhe kutta, billi, chuha, cockroach vi..." Before she completed suddenly a cockroach fall on her shoulder.

"Aahhhhh....cockroach!" She screamed and get up with a jerk when Randhir smirked.

"Aare chilla kyu rahi ho, aabhi aabhi tho bola ke cockroach ke saath rahene mein tumhe koi problem nehi tho lo God ne sun li tumhari!" He grinned at her when she busy to jerked her dress.

"Waise sirf yeh ek nehi I think isska pura khandaan hain yeha par." He said when she look at him in disbelief.

"Don't believe me, wo dekho, I think wo uss cockroach ka mummy hain aur wo papa, wo sister hain aur wo brother, and I think that's his wife and..." Before he could complete Sanyukta rushed towards him and hide behind him.

"And I think those are his kids, look!" He said when she caught his forearm tightly.

"Sir please....please don't scared me." She said hide her head at his back when he pressed his lips to suppress his chuckle.

"Aare Sanyukta maine tumhe kab darraya! Tum tho kisise nehi darrti na!" He said turned her around.

"Aur phir waise vi tumhe cockroaches pasand hain tho wo dekho waha par hain. Ek pasand ko dusri pasand mill geyi keya baat hain!" He said teasingly when felt her grip become tighter on his forearm and he smirked inwardly.

"Aare jau aapne lost love ke pass!" He pushed her a little when she bounced back.

"No sir please, mujhe cockroaches se bahut darr lagta hain." She admitted finally making a crying face when he gave a winning smirk.

"Hmm, so Sanyukta Agarwal is scared from cockroaches!" He let out a chuckle when her crying face turned into an annoying one.

"Iss mein haasne ki keya baat hain, haar koi darrta hain. I'm sure ke aap vi kisi na kisi cheese se darrte honge!" She said annoyingly.

"Main kisise nehi darrta Sanyukta." He said next.

"Huhhh! Haar koi darrta hain, aap ka vi koi na koi kamjori jarur hogi, aap vi kisi na kisi cheese se jarur darrte honge sir." She said confidently.

"Main kisise nehi darrta Sanyukta, kisi se vi nehi. Meri koi kamjori nehi hain, I don't have any weak point Sanyukta."

He said firmly unaware of the truth that how much he became weak when it's came up to her. He was a man without any weakness till then, when his heart didn't started beating for her.

"Okay let's see." She crossed her hands against her chest.

"Let's see." He gave a proud smirk when almighty was laughing on him for his overconfidence.

"Huhhh, ek rack tho hold nehi kar sakte bade aaye, meri saari mehanat mitti mein mill geyi!" She said looking at the files who are now laying on the floor.

"Kiss ne bola tha bhagne ke liye?" He said while fixed the rack on it's place when Sanyukta noticed some dust on his back.

"Aare aapke dress mein kitni dhul mitti hain!" She said surprisingly when he look at her.

"Aachha jara aapne aap ko dekho, bhootni laag rahi ho!" He said teasingly thus she look at herself. Her eyes widened to saw dust on her dress too.

"Shit, shit....yeh mere dress mein itni dhul, mitti kahase aaya?" She said when trying to remove the dust from her dress.

"Aare bhool geyi thodi der pehele humne yeha par pro kabaddi jo khela tha!" He said teasingly thus she look away due to embarrassment.

"Haan haan, aap sirf mujhe hi force kar sakte ho, kisi aur par tho zor nehi chalta na aapka!" She said avoiding an eye contact when he rolled his eyes.

"Aachha, aagar main chahu na tho puri stuff ko parade karwa sakta hu!" He said firmly.

"Haan haan kyu nehi Hitler kahika!" She muttered under her breath.

"I heard that." He glared at her.

"Tho keya, main darrti nehi hu aapse!" She said angrily.

"Aachha tho tum mujhse nehi darrti?" He raised his brows.

"Nehi." She replied placing her hands at her waist.

"Then I have to do something about it." He smirked and take slow steps to her when she steps back gulping hard.
