Shewiped her tears, got down from bed and started scanning the little hub. Apartfrom his gas, utensils, single bed, bathroom, cosmetics and a mini drawer, shefound a study table and chair which was overloaded with many thick books. Shereached to it and surveyed those.

"Oh! Mr. Hawt is pursuing master's degree in sociology. Ahaan greathandwriting like his looks", she mumbled and placed his notebook back.Just then her fingers ran to another book.

"What's this? Music lover or music player? Let me check first", shepeeped under the table and found a guitar. "Wow! Rock star! Why he isattracting me so much? Perhaps it's the side effect of break up. Uff", sheexhaled long. "Anyway, that Anurag has to be taught for whatever he didlast night. Bloody scoundrel... Enough hangover now", she clenched herteeth.

She brushed her teeth, reached his so called kitchen and started having theomelette he prepared for her.

"Mr. Hawt cooks well. Must say, he's a masterpiece. Umm shoul I leave? Nono. I should wait till he comes", she said to herself.

She passed her time with his books and her smartphone till afternoon. She thenfelt hungry and thought to cook for herself. She then found some noodlespackets. She prepared, had it and slept.

As usual she started screaming in her dreams. She woke up with a jolt, when sheheard a knock on door. She wiped all her tears and reached the door, whererandhir was standing.

"Sss..sorry.. Aaa..I was sleeping", she stammered.
"And you dreamt of your mom. That's why your eyes are teary", hereplied.
"How you know?", she asked puzzled.
"Yesterday night, you were murmuring same thing. Don't go mom. Don't leaveme", he said entering in.
"Oh", her vision stuck on him.
"Btw you didn't tell, you liked my house so much?", he placed hisbag.
"What?", she eyed him confusingly.
"Yes, that why you are still in this mini cave", he leaned on bed.
"If I'd have handed keys to your neighbour, she'd have misunderstood yourcharacter. Typical Indian mentally you see and don't call this as cave causehome is made from people not from bricks and cement", she entered intokichen and placed a pan with water on gas.
"Great. Anyway what did you eat?"
"Noodles"
"What! There were vegetables at home then why noodles"
"Mmm actually I don't know anything other preparations accept maggi, teaand coffee. But your omelette was fabulous. It was the best I'd evereaten"
"I failed ,to understand you. I mean you're such a confusing person.Firstly drunk, then hurt, then serious, then funky, then matured. What you're?You never smile but can say silly things"
"Excuse me! It's tough to understand Sanyukta Roy and moreover I'm a girl.So don't even try to"
"Not for me Ms.Roy"
"Why so Mr..."
"Basu. Randhir Basu. Because you too are a human and feelings is nothidden till late"
"Ahaan. Very nice. Sugar?"
"One"
"Your tea. Ok let me seek a leave. Hope tea is not a bad experience toyou"
"It's nice"
"Thank you. Bye", she said making her way to main door.
"Abb Sanyukta..", he hailed her from back.
"Misthi", she corrected.
"What?"
"My granny used to call me that. You equally took care of me like that, soif you'll call me Misthi, I'll be glad"
"Misthi"
"That's better"
"You've a beautiful heart. Don't handover it to such person, who doesn'tcare", he spoke with smile.
"And you have beautiful nature. People may misuse it. Be careful",she said and left.

After sometimes, she reached her huge villa, where only two people stay;Sanyukta and her father.

A/N - Govindo Prokash Roy. He is a great business tycoon leading reputedcosmetic, refreshments and handloom industries. He hardly meets his daughter.As a result, Sanyukta is all alone and blame her dad for her loneliness.

"Sanyukta Baby, Babu is not home. Should I bring something to you?",asked peter the male maid.
"What's new in that Robindo kaka? Anyway bring my lemon tea to myroom", she ordered climbing upstairs towards her room.

The day passed but she couldn't concentrate on any of her tasks. She went onthinking about what Anurag did to her. Nearly at half past 9, she reached lawnto take a walk wrapping a silk shawl around her frame as it was a chillingNovember night.

"Always those people cheat me whom I love. First mom, then dad and thenNishu. Granny crossed all limits. She knew I'm all alone, still she left theworld. And finally Anurag; I loved you like anything Aonu, then why? Why didyou do this to me, why? At the end, once again the regular result.LONELINESS", she ended with tears and as usual not a single person wasthere to hear her sobs.

Kyun mehsus hoti hai tanhaayi
Kyun kisi ko meri yaad nahi aayi
Ek badi si duniya ka bada sa ghar
Kya chhin lega itna saara dard

She roamed all around from garden to backyard for some time and then returnedhome. There Govind was having dinner after returning from office. She had somewater and then made way to her room. Meanwhile, Govind called her.

"Sanyukta, where were you?", asked her.
"As if you care", she replied sternly.
"I'm asking about yesterday night"
"Oh please dad. I was not wasting your money all night. I was in a *takinga gap* a friend's home. At least it was a home not a building"

He hailed her name loud but she lft irnoring it. As usual she slept late nightrecalling her granny leaning at the window wall staring at the sky. Always shereproached God querying a single question that she had everything that normalpeople need still she was alone, broken and unhappy. Why? Her tirednessovertook her body and then she slept.

It was 9 in the morning, when she lazily unlatched her heavy eyelids hearingthe voice of a female maid.

"Baby, your coffee", gestured the maid.
"Mmm keep it Nilima Moushi", she replied in her broken yawning voice.
"But your college?"
"What's the time?"
"9:10"
"Hmm"

After departure of Nilima, Sanyukta got ready and her Mercedes dropped her atcollege. She was the most bold and hot identity in the college. She had manyfriends who were there with her just for their enjoyment and expenses exceptNandini. She was her only friend who supported her at every situation.

As Sanyukta reached college, she directly reached canteen, where Nandini wasalready present. She took a chair just beside her.

"Why so stressed and why were you absent yesterday", asked Nandini.
"For that rascal Anurag", she replied.
"Aonu? But you went on a date with his last evening, right?"
"Don't take his name in front of me"
"But what did he do?"
"See what he did. This is not the signs of any ordinary fight", saidSanyukta showing her neck, lip corner and arms.
