Chapter 42 : Nincompoop

After the dance Sanyukta and Randhir walk down the stage followed by the others. As soon as they were down. Tanya who has recovered by now jumped and squealed.

Tanya : The performance was awesome!! You both were like WOW!! The steps that I didn't taught you also were done by you both and they were so great. And the chemistry it was like you both were made for each other... long lost lovers.

Vishad : Uhh.. women... stop squealing and shouting now. But I agree with her Randhir and Sanyukta you both were just great.

Kritika : The applause that we heard was so loud... the audience were going gaga about the performance.

Sanyukta (blushing) : Oh come on.. it was for all of us. If you guys didn't sing so well we wouldn't have danced this great.

Joy : Yeah... but seeing the past performances you guys have done. This was like a total 360° change. I guess you both were secretly practicing so that you could give the best shot and surprise us all.. was it??

Randhir : Nothing as such it just happened. Now enough of us. Lets go and sit and watch rest of the performances.

All nodded and sat on the seats.

R (in mind) : Long lost lovers... only if these people know what we had in the past and how close we were to have something together but all of this got ruined because of her single decision. But I think now I should get over it and give her.. us.. our friendship a chance. And only if this time we fall back correctly I would have her back in my life as my lover. Cause no matter how much I have tried to forget her I have loved her and still love her and will always love her. No matter where I am and with whom I am.

With this thought Randhir went back on watching the show making a mental note to talk to her in the end.

As the programme headed to an end it was announced for a couple dance for the prom night would start after half an hour and all were required to wait till the arrangements were made. Sanyukta stood up and was going on to search Aryan when Randhir's voice from behind stopped her in her tracks.

Randhir : Umm.. hey!

Sanyukta : Hi.

There was an awkward silence that followed as talking normally with each other after 2 long years without fighting or abuses wasn't normal for both of them.

R (rubbing his hand back of the neck) : I wanted to say you look beautiful tonight.

Sanyukta couldn't believe her ears and ended up saying "Huh.. What?? Are you taunting me or something. Is there something wrong?? (Checking herself)"

R (frowns) : No.. I mean it.

S : Ohh. That's weird. Thank you.

R : Me complimenting you is weird?? You are saying as if I haven't done this before.

S : Well.. that time was different.

R : Point taken. Well I wanted to say is..

Randhir's words stopped in middle when he heard someone calling him from behind.

Sanaya : Randhir. I was looking for you only. Thought of meeting you before I leave. (Then her gaze fell on Sanyukta) hey... you are the same girl I met at the auction right?? Sanyukta if I am not wrong??

Sanyukta : Yeah.. its me. Nice to meet you again mam.

Sanaya : Oh.. call me Sanaya.. no need to be formal with me. And if I am not wrong you were the one that danced with Randhir. You guys were awesome. Randhir why didn't you tell me of her being your partner. She is such an adorable girl.

R : Uhh.. just slipped out of my mind.

Sanaya : Well.. its okay. I must says you guys have a great chemistry. If I didn't know that the girl Randhir is dating stays in India... I would have assumed it to be you. (Chuckles)

Sanyukta didn't say anything and didn't even show a pinch of sadness come over her face because she already knew every detail about this and she knew she had no rights to say anything about this when she was the one who left him. Whereas Randhir cursed himself in his mind as he didn't expect the talk would turn out this way.

Sanyukta : We really have nothing Sanaya. Actually we don't even talk much.

Sanaya : Ohh.. okay. I will get going then. Meet you at work Randhir.

Sanyukta : Hey.. wait for the dance. It is awesome and I assure you that. Please a little time and it would start. Tell her to wait Randhir.

R : Yeah. Even I think you should wait.

Before she could say anything they heard a voice calling near them "Love". Sanyukta quickly faced in the direction of voice only to witness Aryan standing their and grinning. She ran upto him and hugged him tightly.

S (mumbled) : I was going to find you only. Where have you been all the time?? Did you see my dance???

Aryan : Of course! How can I miss the dance of the only precious person I have in my life and the only reason I came here.

Sanyukta grinned looking at him and said "Did you like it??"

A : Of course I did. You were amazing and flawless as ever. (Kisses her forehead)

Sanyukta (Remembers Randhir and Sanaya) : Ohh.. I will make you meet some people. Come.

This whole exchange was seen by both Sanaya and Randhir. They both were angry and hurt but didn't let that surface on their face as they kept in mind the surroundings.

Sanyukta : Aryan this is Randhir Singh Shekhawat and this is Sanaya Jha... And this is Aryan. I guess you might be knowing her... the business world as you both belong to. (Making a face.)

Sanaya : Of course we do Sanyukta. We know each other in a lot better way rather than only the business world. Am I right Aryan??

A : Yeah... same college.. we were in.

Sanyukta : Ohh.. thats good. Then I should talk to her a lot more to know about you.. cause I know that you are hiding a lot of things from me. (Teasingly)

Aryan (sternly) : Sanyukta!

Sanyukta : Fine. Stop being grumpy now.

Sanaya (smirking) : Aryan.. I would love to tell her about you though. Many things I can tell that she doesn't know and I would be glad to tell her few of the things you have done.

Aryan : I don't think that would be necessary. So you can mind your own business.

Sanyukta sensing the matter getting heated thought of changing it.

Sanyukta : Sanaya.. what did you think of waiting here for the dance??

Sanaya (faking a smile) : I would wait.

Aryan just wanted to move away from Sanaya who was standing there because he didn't want his past to come in front of Sanyukta. And to his luck after few minutes the announcement was made for the couple dance.

A : My lady... (bending down a little in front of Sanyukta) May I have this dance??

Sanyukta (chuckles) : Of course... you don't even need to ask!

And Sanyukta and Aryan moved towards the stage. Randhir's and Sanaya's blood boiled seeing this. And more after hearing the words of few girls talking at the back.

Girl 1 : How adorable they look... I can't believe that Aryan.. the youngest businessman is always around her everytime and in every college event.

Girl 2 : I know right. He cares for her a lot.. he is there all the time. And people used to call him a casanova. I don't believe it. He always stick around her and takes her to every event he has to represent.

Girl 3 : And he calls "Love" her like most of the time not caring about the surroundings. That is so adorable and cute!

Randhir couldn't take all this talks anymore and so he turned towards Sanaya and asked her for dance to which she obliged with a small smile and they move towards the dance floor.

◇◇◇ On The Dance Floor ◇◇◇

Sanyukta and Aryan were dancing. But Sanyukta was making irritating faces looking at him.

Aryan : What?? Why are you making faces to me??

Sanyukta : Why were you behaving like a "Nincompoop" out there??

A : What did I do?? (Chipped innocently)

S : Don't act innocent okay? I am talking about the way you were talking to Sanaya!

A : It was nothing. I just didn't like the way she was talking. And you know my past few years aren't the thing I am fond of talking about. So you know just got carried away.

S : Okay.

Randhir even while dancing once in a while would glance towards Aryan and Sanyukta and he was getting angry with himself a lot.

R (in mind) : Every time I come to talk to you and want to confess to you all you do is throw me miles apart. Last time I confessed my love to you and all you did was threw me away said a "No" to me and now when I was trying to be friends again comes here your so called lover takes you again from me. I still can't believe why I am stuck upon you when you have easily move on and when we don't even talk anymore like we used to do.
