                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sameer and his dad sitting at the leaving room. A servant became take care about Sameer's wounds.

"Aauchhh!"

Sameer winched in pain as the servant applied antiseptic on it.

"Ohh shut up, ek antiseptic ki jalan bardast nehi hota tumse, tho uss Randhir se property kaise hasil karoge?" Mr. Mittal tore down the mask of good man from his face and showed his real face.

"Dad maine keya kiya?" Sameer get confused.

"Problem tho yehi hain na ke aaj tak tumne kuch kiya hi nehi!" Mr. Mittal lost his cool.

"Lekin dad..."

"Just shut up, Harsh ke maut ke baad mujhe laga ke aab saari property mera hoga, lekin nehi ussne aapni saari property aapne biwi ke naam par kar di thi. Maine Renuka se shaadi ki, sochha ke wo saari property mere naam pe transfer kar degi, lekin nehi ussne sab kuch Randhir ke naam pe kar diya tha, aur mere haat kuch nehi laga." Mr. Mittal gulped the whisky in a go.

"Haan aur will mein tho yeh vi likha hain ki aagar Randhir ki death ho jati hain tho saari property trust mein chali jayegi, matlab hum aaisa kuch karne ke ware mein soch vi nehi sakte." Sameer spat out his frustration.

"Ek property ki paper tho tum usse sign nehi karwa paye aur jaan lene ki baat karte ho!" Mr. Mittal mocked him.

"Don't worry dad, maine Randhir ke aas paas ek aaisa jaal bichhaya hain ke aab uss property ko humara hone se koi nehi rok payega." He smirked devilishly.

"Keya matlab?" Mr. Mittal raised his brow.

"Dad aapka sawal ka jawab aapke pichhe hain." Mr. Mittal turned back and saw a girl standing there.

"Come sweetheart." Sameer called the girl. The girl smiled and came towards him.

"Hey baby." She hugged him.

"Dad yeh hain mera chaal, Mayra." Sameer introduced the girl with his dad.

"Yeh tho Randhir ki..." Mr. Mittal widened his orbs.

"Yes uncle I'm his P.A." Mayra smiled.

"Personal Assistant of Randhir Singh Shekhawat, ha ha ha ha." Sameer laughed loudly.

"Uss Randhir ko tho yeh pata hi nehi ke Mayra meri girlfriend hain, jisse maine usske office mein plan kiya hain, taki wo usse aapne pyar ki jaal mein phasa kar unn papers pe usska sign le sake." Sameer reveled his plan.

"Tho usse phone karna aur aaj usske office mein jana!" Mr. Mittal got confused.

"Wo tho iss liye dad ta ki wo aapne aap ko emotionally weak, helpless aur alone feel kare, aur Mayra uss pal ka faida uthake usse aapne jhoote pyar ka jaal mein phasa le." Sameer grinned devilishly.

"Well done son." Mr. Mittal got excited.

"But baby tum yeha pe keya kar rahi ho, tumhe tho Randhir ke paas hona chahiye tha aabhi?" Sameer asked while offered her a glass of wine.

"Wo sir aachanak kahi chale geye, mauka tha iss liye main yeha aah geyi." Mayra replied.

"Hmm, you always keep an eye on him, kaise vi karke unn property ke papers pe usski sign chahiye mujhe." Sameer's face got stiffen.

"Don't worry baby, last time jab main usse uss hotel mein leke geyi thi tab main fail ho geyi thi, but not everytime, this time you will get it." She smirked.

"Aur usski halat vi baki o ki tarha hoga." Mr. Mittal said and the trio laughed in union.

                       * * * * * * * * *

Randhir was marching in his room, in every passing seconds he get restless.

"Main kyu usse imagine kar raha hu, usske ware mein soch raha hu, she just an ordinary girl!" Randhir murmured to himself.

"Haan sayed iss liye kyuki maine aabhi tak usse hasil nehi kiya, Randhir Singh Shekhawat ko jo cheeze chahiye wo usse hasil karke raheta hain, main tumhe vi haasil karke rahunga Sanyukta Agarwal." Randhir said to himself and dialed a number.

As morning crept on Sanyukta open the door and found a gift wrap at the door.

"Aachha musibat hain, pehele phool aur aab yeh gifts, pata nehi koyn bhejta raheta hain!" She murmured and take the packet and came to her room. She open the packet and saw a beautiful statue.

"Ek aur gift jiji?" Panchhi asked with a smile.

"Sshhhh, chutki chup, chachi sun legi." Sanyukta whispered and Panchhi nodded a yes.

Both sisters are smiled and Panchhi left for school when Sanyukta went to her college.

At college Sanyukta was busy with the preparations of annual programme. Kaustaki and Jiggy helped her.

"Aare Sanyukta thik se karna, annual programme hain college ka naam kharab nehi hona chahiye." PKC said while munching the 4th burger.

"Bhukkar kahika, khud khaye jaa raha hain or hum bachhe jo bhuk se maar rahe hain usska keya!" Jiggy murmured.

"Aare Jignesh wo chairs waha pe rakhho." PKC again interrupted.

"Yeh chair Maya ka hain, I mean Madam Maya sit here, aur unnki side wala chair mera." PKC smiled, Sanyukta and Kaustaki look each other and smiled.

"And this chair is for Randhir Singh Shekhawat." Listen his name Sanyukta's smiled got vanished.

"When Randhir come Sanyukta you will make him wear the garland and Kaustaki you will spread the rose patels on him." PKC said and Sanyukta's eyes got widened to heard that.

"Main uss Shekhawat ko koi mala-wala nehi pehenane wali!" Sanyukta crossed her hands against her chest and sat down with a thud. She was pissed off after listening PKC.

"Lekin kyu Sanyu?" Kaustaki asked with surprise.

"Tune dekha nehi ussne mujhe kaise harras kiya, phir vi bol rahi hain kyu?" She faked anger.

"Aare Sanyu aaisa mat bol suna nehi PKC sir keya bolke geye, tune aaisa nehi kiya tere practical ke marks kat lenge wo tho!" Kaustaki tried to convinced her.

"Uss Shekhawat ki wajase life hell ho geyi hain meri tho!" She said irritatingly.

"Aare Sanyukta gussa mat karo, wo jo phoolo ka mala wo sadu pahene wala hoga na main usspe honey daal dunga, phir chitiya (ants) usski welcome karega." Jiggy smiled and Kaustaki's eyes popped out.

"Yeah phir usski chair pe khatmol chhod deta hu, wo Shekhawat aake baithega aur dance karne lagega." Jiggy laughed, Sanyukta also.

"Jiggy keya bol rahe ho, bhook ke mare pagol ho geye ho keya!" Kaustaki almost screamed.

"Haan nehito keya, kitna bhook lagi hain pata hain, wo taklu tho khud canteen chala geya thusne ke liye, aur hum kaam kare jaa rahe hain!" Jiggy said with frustration.

"Relax Kaustaki Jiggy is joking only, waise haan bhook tho mujhe vi bahut lagi hain, chalo aaj bahar chinese khane chalte hain." Sanyukta said while smiling.

"Keya Sanyukta saach mein?" Jiggy sounded excited.

"Haan haan saach mein." She smiled again.

"Chalo chalte hain." Jiggy fix his glasses.

"Hello guys, how are you?" Came a voice from behind.

Sanyukta and other's look back and got surprised.

"Aare Parth tum yeha?" Sanyukta asked.

"Haan main yeha." Parth smiled.

"Kuch kaam se aaye ho keya?" Sanyukta asked again.

"Haan....na....umm actually wo tumne uss din function ke liye invite kiya tha, tho maine socha ke ekbaar dekh aau ke preparation kaisi chal raha hain." Parth stammered.

"Tum sirf yeh dikhne ke liye aapna sara kaam chhod kar aaye ho?" Sanyukta was surprised.

"So what it's my college too." Parth replied and Sanyukta smiled.

"Aare Parth bhai preparation tho aaisa chal raha hain ki aab tho humari halat bhook se marne ki aah geyi hain." Jiggy sighed.

"Keya matlab?" Parth confused.

"Aare subha se hum sirf aur sirf kaam hi kar rahe hain, no break, aab aap hi samajh lo." Jiggy make a face.

"Lekin aabhi tho lunch break hain tho tum log vi ek break le hi sakte ho." Parth said while looking at Sanyukta.

"Haan hum sab lunch ke liye hi jaane wale the." Sanyukta replied.

"Haan tho chalo sab eksaat chalte hain, bahut din ho geya canteen ki khabar khaye huye." Parth looked excited.

"Actually hum canteen nehi bahar jaah rahe the chinese khane ke liye." Kaustaki replied.

"Ohh is there any special occasion?" Parth raised his brow.

"Nehi nehi wo baas aaise hi, just friends hangout." Sanyukta replied while smiling.

"Hmm okay, I understand." Parth replied while making a sad face.

"Keya?" Sanyukta asked with confusion.

"Kuch nehi." Parth's face getting fall.

"Aare bolo!" Sanyukta insist him.

"Tum sab friends hangout karne jaah rahe ho, but what about me, you don't even ask me, or I thought ke we are friends." Parth pouted.

"Aare nehi Parth bhai aaisi koi baat nehi." Jiggy placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Haan Parth Jiggy is right, wo actually keya hain na hum tho koi chhoti si restaurant mein jane wale hain, tho mujhe laga ke tum sayed aana na chaho, issi liye..." Sanyukta stopped in the middle.

"Aare tho main konsa roj roj 7 star hotel mein jata hu, I'm also a middle class man like you guys, saath mein nehi leke jana yeh bolo na!" He frowned.

"Aare nehi nehi Parth bhai aaisa kuch vi nehi." Jiggy tried to convinced him.

"Rahene do Jiggy, I'm leaving." Said this Parth turn to go.

"Parth aagar tum vi humare saath aayoge tho hume bahut aachha lagega." Sanyukta said from behind and Parth's lips curved into a smile. But he straighten his face and turn back.

"Mujhe bahut aachha lagega, please." Sanyukta pleaded and Parth smiled.

"Mujhe vi." He smiled heart worthy.

After lunch a man came with the bill. Parth take that and about to pay the bill when Sanyukta interrupted.

"Hum aapna hisse ke share khud denge, tum aakele pay nehi karoge Parth." She take the bill from his hand.

"What's this Sanyukta, bill tum do yeah main du ek hi tho baat hain, we are friends na!" Parth shrugged his shoulder.

"Yes we are friends, and we have a moto, we shared everything between us, so as bill. Tho hum sab aapna aapna share denge." Sanyukta said clearly.

"But..." Parth shocked.

"Aur tum aapna share, samjhe DOST!" Sanyukta winked at him and Parth smiled.

                        * * * * * * * * *

"Good....very good....excellent." Randhir chirped those words looking at a file.

Parth who stood in front of him smiled at his comments.

"Thanks Randhir." He said happily.

"Aare main tumhara nehi tumhara kaam ki tarif kar raha hu." He looked at Parth.

"I know Randhir I'm good." He gave a proud smile.

"I know Parth." Randhir shrugged his shoulder.

"Waise iss file mein 4 mistakes hain." Randhir said calmly.

"I know....what!" Parth stop in middle and look at Randhir in shock.

"I'm also shocked to saw it." Randhir kept the file on the table.

"Tho phir tu mera tarif kyu kar raha tha?" Parth became surprised.

"Main teri nehi, teri mistakes ki tarif kar raha tha Parth." Randhir smiled at him.

"Sorry Randhir, lekin mujhse galti kaise ho geya!" He shook his head in disappointment.

"Relax Parth its okay, waise who is she?" Parth look at him with confusion.

"Keya!" Some lines are visible on his forehead.

"Aare bolna koyn hain wo?" Randhir asked again.

"Koyn koyn?" Parth is still confused.

"Aare what's that girls name?" Randhir finally asked.

"Koyn ladki! Main kisi ladki ko nehi janta." Parth was stammering.

"Aare aaise hi tho mera best employee se 4-4 mistakes nehi ho sakta, bol na koyn hain, mujhse kyu chupa raha hain!" Randhir asked teasingly.

"Aare aaisi koi baat nehi, hum tho sirf aachhe dost hain." Parth replied hesitantly.

"Aachha tho tu aapne 'sirf dost' se milne ke liye pichhle kuch dino se har roz lunch time se pehele hi office se nikal jata hain, wo vi perfume lagake, shades pehenke!" Randhir asked innocently.

"Tujhe kaise pata?" Parth got surprised.

"Means that true." Randhir smirked at him.

"Nehi aaisa koi baat nehi Randhir, wo clints ke saath meetings thi tho... smart dekhne ke liye... emm wo first impression ke liye, you know." He said nervously.

"First impression! Hmm I see, but I don't know that you are a gay Parth." Randhir mocked him and Parth's eyes got widened.

"Randhir!" He nearly screamed.

"Okay okay sorry, but tell me anything serious?" Randhir raised his brow.

"No Randhir, we are just good friends, or nothing else." Parth said in a go.

"I wise nothing is serious there, cause I don't want you suffer." Randhir said with concern.

"Matlab?" Parth look at him surprisingly.

"Love don't exist in this selfish world Parth, so don't run after it cause you just hallucinating it or nothing else." Randhir said coldly.

"No Randhir aaisa kuch nehi hain!" Parth tried to let out an excuse.

"Ohh came on Parth, gave me a break, I can read your face clearly that how much you like her." Randhir said in a calm voice and Parth got numb.

"I don't like her, I love her." Parth said after sometimes and Randhir shook his head.

"Does she know it?" Randhir asked.

"No no, not at all, I don't told her yet." Parth replied.

"But why?" Randhir raised his brow.

"Aare aabhi aabhi tho mile hain itni jaldi vi keya hain!" Parth said casually.

"Jab ekdin bolna hi hain tho aabhi bol de, isse pehele ke der ho jaye aur koi teri maina ko uda le jaye!" Randhir mocked him.

"Randhir!" Parth gave a smack on his shoulder.

"Aabhi thodi der pehele tho tu bol raha tha that I'm hallucinating and all. Aur aabhi bol raha hain propose karne ko!" Parth was total aback due tho Randhir's time to time behaviour.

"Kyu ke tuj jaisi idiot hallucination ko hi sach manke chalta hain, aur waise vi main nehi chahata ke mujhe haar roz files mein itne sare mistakes dekhne ko mile." Randhir winked at him.

"Kamine!" Both laughed and hugged each other.

                         * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta, Kaustaki, Jiggy and some other students are busy in the preparation of annual day.

"Aare Parth aabhi tak nehi aaya!" Sanyukta said looking at the door.

"Aare aah jayega, usska office hain remember?" Kaustaki replied.

"Haan jarur uss sadu Shekhawat ne rok liya hoga." Sanyukta twisted her lips.

"Waise Parth bahut jaldi humare saath ghul mil geya na?" Kaustaki asked.

"Haan so tho hain, pata hain maine kabhi nehi socha ke hum dono itni jaldi itne aachhe dost ban jayenge." Sanyukta smiled dreamily.

"Sirf dost yeah aur kuch?" Kaustaki smiled naughtily.

"Keya matlab?" Sanyukta raised her brows.

"I think he like you Sanyu." Sanyukta's eyes got widened.

"What nonsense Kaustu!" She got up instantly.

"Haan sach hain, tune dekha nehi wo kitna pyar se dekhta hain tujhe, har waqt teri help ke liye ready raheta hain, sirf teri help karne ke liye har roz yeha chala aata hain, jabke yeh tho usska kaam vi nehi!" Sanyukta started think about it.

"Wo yeha aata hain kyu ke yeh usska vi college hain." She replied after thinking.

"Don't be fool Sanyu, it's clear that he came here for you, aur mujhe tho lagta hain ki wo sare phool aur gift vi Parth hi bhejta hain, he is the 'Well Wisher'." And Sanyukta became speechless to listen this.

"Keya bol rahi hain tu Kaustu, dimag tho thik hain na!" Sanyukta speak after a good 5 minutes. She was hell shocked after listen Kaustaki.

"Parth! Nehi nehi, I don't think so." Sanyukta shook her head.

"Lekin Sanyu iss mein galat keya hain?" Kaustaki raised her brow.

"Maine kab kaha ke galat hain, main bass itna bol rahi hu ke aagar Parth ke dil mein aaisa kuch hota tho wo mujhe aab tak bol chuka hota." She shrugged her shoulder.

"Aab aaisa kuch hain ke nehi hain yeh tho sirf Parth hi bata sakta hain, tu usise puch lena." Said this Kaustaki pointed at the door and Sanyukta turned back.

She saw Parth at the entrance. Parth wave his hand to Sanyukta and she smiled, which did not unnoticed by Kaustaki.

"Keya baat ho rahi hain dono saheli mein?" Parth asked after reaching them.

"Parth keya tum Sanyu ko phool..." Kaustaki stopped in middle as Sanyukta hold her wrist.

"Umm....wo Parth flower select karne mein please meri help kar do na, I'm so confused." She pouted.

"Aare itni si baat, gulam hazir hain madam, aap bass hukum kijiye." And Parth bent down like a Genie and both laughed.

"Okay bolo keya confusion hain?" Parth wants to know.

"Aare in sab vase pe koyn sa phool rakhu, rose yeah crishenthumam? Chief guest ka welcome koynse phool se karu? Aur wo haar koynsa phool ka pehenau, I'm so confused!" Sanyukta placed her palm on her forehead and thought something.

"Aachha tumhara wo sadu dost ko koynsa phool pasand hain?" Sanyukta asked seriously and Parth laughed heartily.

"Tum sadu kisko bol rahi ho Randhir ko, but he is a nice man."

"Tumhare liye hoga, friend ho na usske iss liye bol rahe ho." She twisted her lips.

"Sanyukta aaisa nehi hain!" Parth try to stop her but she was stubborn.

"Are you going to help me or not?" Sanyukta asked instantly.

"Yes yes, why not!" Parth said quickly.

"Then help me na." She pouted and Parth smiled and started helping her.

"I think Sanyukta tumhe vase mein night queen rakhna chahiye, yeh ek cultural programme hain tho rajnigandha phool sahi rahenge." Parth suggest.

"Mujhe rajnigandha bahut pasand hain." Sanyukta said while smiling.

"Mujhe vi." Parth also smiled at her.

"Aur mala....umm....I think mala roses ke hone chahiye, red roses will be fine, what say?" Parth asked and Sanyukta shrugged her shoulder.

"Okay as you say, aur wo tumhara khadus dost ka welcome koynse phool se karu? Yeah phir gulab ki kaato se hi welcome kar du?" She greeted her teeth and Parth laughed loudly.

"Aare tum usse itna naraz kyu ho, bechara busy tha uss din iss liye nehi mil paya." Parth tried to calm her down.

"Haan haan jaise hum tho bekar baithe hain na, hume tho koi kaam hi nehi!" She murmured those words under her breath.

"Aachha chhodo yeh sab aur help me na!" Sanyukta look at Parth.

"Haan tum usske welcome ke liye har rang ki roses or orchids use kar sakti ho. Ek kaam karo florist ko ek bouquet ki order kar do, aur bol do jo vi chahiye, simple." He shrugged his shoulder and Sanyukta jumped in joy.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you sooo much, you are a true friend and a real saviour." And Sanyukta hugged him in excitement.

Parth was surprised at her gesture but at the same time he felt bliss to have her in his embrace.

After sometimes Sanyukta came back to her senses and broke the hug quickly. She cheep a quick sorry to him as she felt embarrassed and look everywhere but not at him.

"Aare it's okay Sanyukta, we are friends so we can hug too, it's normal yaar." He smiled at her, she also smiled.

"Aab chalo fatafat kaam pe laag jau warna PKC sir phir number kaat ne ka dhamki denge." Parth mocked and this time Sanyukta smiled widely.

They are busy in the preparation. Sanyukta steel glances of Parth time to time as she remembered Kaustaki's words. Parth also steel glances at her and suddenly their gaze meet and their eyes smiled.
