CHAPTER 8: COMPROMISE

Sanyukta stepped near him "You're inside the mansion from the morning to till now and you didn't come to meet me for even once and I being a mad woman was thinking that you are disappointed because of me for the scene that took place between you and me but...you seem to enjoy your day here in this room peacefully" poured out her annoyance.

Randhir blinked his eyes and registered them clearly. A small smile formed at her cuteness.

Sanyukta fumed "Don't you dare to smile Mr. Shekhawat! I am hurt" said the last words with her tears threatening to spill.

Randhir shook his head "Look Sanyukta...I" said something but couldn't what he wanted to say.

Sanyukta "I know this marriage is a compromise for you and it's my mistake to expect these isn't...I am sorry" said and left that place.

Randhir stood in shock at her words "What the hell...How dare she say that?" asked in anger took steps to catch up to her but she was gone.

He came out of the room and saw her walking out of the main door "Damn it...what did I do? I just didn't want to make her uncomfortable with my presence but she...accused of compromising marriage and walked out on me?" thought angrily.

IN THE CAR,

Sanyukta closed her eyes in exasperation "Why do I feel heavy hearted speaking as such? Did I do it right?" asked her on the way to her paternal home.

Sanyukta breathed to get the ease for herself but that didn't help.

SHEKHAWAT MANSION,

Randhir walked left to right with a pace of what just happened. He did not want to make her uncomfortable with his presence and moreover he just cannot help but admire her beauty. But he didn't know this would backfire on him in this way making her hurt.

Harsh looked at his son's appearance and his experience made some calculations.

Harsh "Randhir" called him.

Randhir snapped his head to the source of his dad's voice "Dad" called him in response.

Harsh "Can you accompany me to gazebo son?" asked.

Randhir "Yeah sure" said and walked with him.

They both sat on the chairs and Harsh "It seems like you had your first fight with your wife" said as a statement rather than a question.

Randhir cleared his throat "No...Nothing like that dad" said being affirmative.

Harsh "Son my hair has become grey and that's because of my ageing and experience, the way how your wife walked out of the mansion says a different story to me" said as the maid placed the glass of beverages for them and left that place.

Randhir sighed sipping the juice "If you know then why are you asking me?" asked.

Harsh smiled "Because I wanted to know the reason as I don't eavesdrop on conversation of anyone" said the matter of fact.

Randhir gulped not knowing what to say or how to start the exact thing "God...why is this so difficult?" asked in an exasperated tone.

Nevertheless he said to him as Harsh looked astonished at him.

Harsh "For a second...you don't look that business enigma that makes many men be feared off" said.

Randhir "I think I got to go" said getting up.

Harsh "Okay...Randhir just remember one thing giving time or space is needed but at the same time with whom and at what circumstance is being given to someone is a very big thing...in your knowledge it is like a building built over a land on where it can only be constructed so always be careful in that and your wife is a bit of complexity for you after all you have never been on a relationship...you need to be consistent and rational enough to handle your relationship and always keep patient to hold her within you and only you" said.

Randhir remembered the office incident how she felt guilty for back answering Rehan's dirty flirting.

Harsh "Hold her, show her your passion and make her yours with her consent. And for this be with her all the being her friend then her husband" said.

Randhir "Bye dad" said and left the mansion straight to the destination where his newly wedded wife is "You're a maze Sanyukta Singh Shekhawat and I am going to tame and make you mine" said smirking.

An hour later,

Randhir held the bouquet and few sweets that he picked on the way to here after the message he received from his dad.

Sanyukta cleaned the slab of the kitchen as she and her dad had lunch together after a long time that was waiting for her taking a leave from his office.

Sanyukta's heart beat rose as a gush of wind passed her face making her feel relaxed all of a sudden "Randhir" pronounced his name in relief as if she needed to say that.

The house bell rand indicating of someone waiting for her to open the door "Is he here?" asked the question in automation as she felt the goose bumps over her.

She heard the door opening and heard "Sanyukta...look who is here?" asked the voice of her dad (Kishore).

She rushed out adjusting her Saree in sheer excitement "What if it is him and he came here for me?" thought smiling.

Indeed he stood there passing formal smile to her dad and placing the bouquet and sweets box over the sides removing his shoes.

Her eyes widened as he looked at her and sighed as if in relief.

Randhir felt weird more like a fear what if she was hurt beyond for his act of staying away from her. But seeing her smile made him breathe in relief and he was happy to feel that.

Kishore knew he would be here but he didn't expect him to be here this early and for some reason he feel that this is because of his daughter's sad face in the morning when she came.

Randhir and Kishore sat over the couch as they continued their talks on general associability of business.

But Randhir's eyes drifted to Sanyukta who was a silent spectator. Kishore "Actually I have a phone conference to make for the afternoon so" said politely.

Randhir "Sure uncle...I am sorry...I have to be here in evening I must have disturbed..." said but stopped by Kishore.

Kishore "No...Not like that son in law, you can come here anytime and don't apologize for such" said.

Kishore looked at Sanyukta "Take care of him Sanyukta bitiya (Daughter) and show him our small house" said and excused from there.

Sanyukta looked down at her knotted fingers as she felt stupid for her behavior in the morning.

Randhir cleared his throat "Umm...show me your house" said in the silent atmosphere.

Sanyukta showed him the floor which consisted of two rooms of study room and her dad's room along with a open kitchen followed by dining room.

Then they both took the plight of stairs and Sanyukta clamped on her Saree "Ahh" sounded in reflex.

Randhir held her waist and reached the top "I warned you already and you're not wearing Saree again" said in an unpleasant tone as took tour of the three rooms and walking into her bedroom finally.

Sanyukta clicked her tongue and blushed in a bit of embarrassment of bringing him to her room which was full of girly pinkish room.

Randhir walked and found the room cute with a balcony and an attached bathroom.

He turned to see her and smirked "I like it when you blush" said.

Sanyukta looked straight in his eyes hearing him and Randhir "And you looked so beautiful blushing yesterday in your wedding Lehenga" complemented.

Randhir stepped inching her trapping behind the wall and Sanyukta's breathe got uneven with the close proximity. Just like last night Randhir brushed his hand over cheeks but this time with authority not because of heat of moment.

Sanyukta's eyes fluttered close and Randhir looked at her serene face "Relax Sanyukta" said.

She opened her eyes and Randhir "This marriage is not a compromise...I accept this is not how a marriage happens but I was happy and I am happy for marrying you so I just want to clear it out to you...that I with my full faithfulness accepted this relation by taking those vows around fire so never ever you say or think this marriage is a compromise, Mrs. Sanyukta Randhir Singh Shekhawat" said and captured her lips the next second.

Sanyukta gasped at his words and actions allowing his control over her. She clutched his shirt's collar for support as his tongue rolled with her making her go weak.

He rubbed her bare waist and pulled back from the kiss feeling her breathless "That was your first kiss" said making her look at him.

Her cheeks reddened and he was surprised "What am I going to do with you Sanyukta? You're so innocent and alluring" confessed making her thump up in flutters.

Randhir smiled and thought "I should be protective of her...her innocence can be dangerous".

He pecked her lips and she pushed him slightly running inside her washroom locking it.

Randhir didn't get angry as he understood that this is when she needs space to accept this. He ran his finger over his hair thinking about her.

INSIDE THE WASHROOM,

Sanyukta breathed calming her heart and touched her lips and she felt his teeth dug in her swollen lips.

Sanyukta "What's happening to me? This is weird, new, scary but not regretful one...what is this?" questioned blushing hard.

OUTSIDE,

Randhir stood over the balcony just when his phone rang of Aram "Go ahead Aram" said straight in his business tone.

Aram "Sir...I am so sorry to say this but..."

Randhir "Shit, Did Ishika really do this... get my jet ready Aram I will fly today itself to Singapore" said hanging up.

Randhir "How am I going to tell this to her?" thought.

To be continued...

What did Aram tell? What did Ishika did that he has to fly immediately to Singapore? How is Sanyukta going to react to this?
