Sanyukta came back home early as she had promised to meet Rajveer at a Café in the evening cause he wanted to discuss few things with her and though all she wanted was solitude but nevertheless agreed as she owed him one meet after all the help he had given to her.

When she reached home she saw Randhir sitting on the sofa watching television whereas Ishika was nowhere in sight.

Sanyukta : Where is Ishika?

Randhir : I left her in one of the deserted street of the city.

Sanyukta : What!!??

R : Chill... i am kidding... I ain't that heartless. She is getting ready. She wanted to view the nightlife here so I'm taking her out.

S : Well that's great to know.

Sanyukta walked inside her room without exchanging any further words and even Randhir chose to remain silent as he didn't want to start a new topic with her cause he very well knew that this would end in a fight now as they were both too hot headed.

Sanyukta quickly finished her work in the room and got ready to go out wearing a simple beige coloured pants with a white tank top and white shrug. She wore the nude coloured heels and after taking one last look at herself in the mirror and being satisfied with what she saw she walked out of the room.

She walked out of the room at the same time when Randhir and Ishika were about to walk out. Randhir froze looking at the beauty standing in front of him much to Ishika's displeasure. He was not able to form words moving his up and down like a fish trying to come up with something. Ishika getting annoyed with this thought to break the silence.

Ishika (faking a smile) : You are coming with us??

Randhir (excitedly) : Really??

Sanyukta : Uhh.. no... i had to go out and meet a friend!

Randhir (getting agitated) : Who??

Sanyukta : Uhmm.. someone you dont know... yeah!

Randhir : I know each and every friend of yours Sanyukta.

Sanyukta : You dont know him.

Before Randhir could argue further Ishika stepped in between.

Ishika : Its okay Randhir if she doesn't want to tell us.. its upto her you can't force her to tell. This person might be special to her and she may want to keep him a secret. Come on now we are getting late I don't want to miss anything.

Saying that Ishika dragged him out keaving him no chance to argue further whereas Sanyukta sighed in relief cause she knew that if she told him about Rajveer then he would probably get mad and won't let her meet him and would make a scene in front of Ishika.

After they were gone Sanyukta calmed her nerves and grabbing her car keys she locked the house and rode her car towards the café where Rajveer was already waiting for her. She couldn't conclude that what was so important that he wanted to tell her and has called her so urgently cause the desperation could be heard in his voice in the morning when he had asked her to meet there. Though she was glad that he did call her there cause it would surely help her to keep her mind off from the thoughts of Randhir and Ishika which is what she desperately needed.

Sanyukta reached the cafe and looked around for Rajveer and saw him sitting by the window looking at the cars as they zoomed out. She went next to him and poked his shoulders and raised her eyebrows at him. He just shrugged off and gestured her to sit which she did.

Sanyukta : So what is it??

Rajveer : Damn.. directly to the topic!? No hello's and love you baby?? (With a mischievous glint in his eyes)

Sanyukta : Ha! You wish! (Smacking his hand) Now tell me what is it!

Rajveer : Uhmm.. lets first eat something.

Sanyukta : Okay... if you say so.. i am famished anyways.

Ranveer just smiled looking at her and called the waiter. After they both gave their orders Sanyukta waited for him to say something but he didn't say anything just looked around or stared at nowhere in particular. By looking at him she could tell that he was nervous about something and that some thoughts were totally disturbing him and she did what she thought was absolutely correct to do and that was to give him space and time so that he could open up easily and she knew at the end he will say what is in his mind cause otherwise he would have not called her to talk.

Soon the dinner game and they both ate in silence. Basically it was only Sanyukta who ate as Rajveer kept on playing with his food. He was totally distracted and that's why as soon as she finished her food she looked at him and placed her hand on his free hand and gave him an encouraging smile.

Sanyukta : Just know.. that you can tell me anything and i won't judge you and i am serious. Even if it means that we have to hide a dead person. (Whispering the last part to him)

Rajveer chuckled and shook his head looking at his crazy friend sitting in front of him who was herself giggling at the stupid joke she made and he thanked god above cause he knew one thing right and that was to befriend the beautiful lady in front of him.

◇◇◇ The Other Side ◇◇◇

Randhir and Ishika were walking down the streets enjoying the wind whereas there car was parked nearby. They were talking about random topics. Basically it was Ishika who did all the talking where as Randhir only nodded or replied in one or two syllables whenever he felt necessary.

Randhir's mind was occupied with the person with whom Sanyukta could have gone out. He was thinking of the possibilities and well it was safe to say that he didn't like any of the people he thought that could have been present. They passed few shops when something caught Ishika's eyes and she pulled Randhir by his hand catching his attention.

Ishika : Randhir.. look!!

Randhir : What??

Ishika pointed towards the glass window where Sanyukta and Rajveer were sitting face to face at each other and what him annoyed him more was that her hand was on his and she was smiling at him where as he was chuckling on something she said. All Randhir could see was red. Out of all the possibilities he didn't even want it to be Rajveer the guy who had already been hitting on her. All Randhir felt was to go there and snatch her hand and claim her for him. He just wanted to beat the shit out of him again. Oh! he knew how much good that will make him feel. And the next words that he heard from Ishika only added fuel to his already erupting volcano.

Ishika : See.. i told you... she wanted to keep this guy a secret. They are probably dating and might be in the initial days and so they want to keep it low and as a secret. I know... this is only the case. Anyways Sanyukta is among the shy ones and she would surely keep such things hidden.

Randhir's blood boiled and he took steps to go inside the café but his hand in Ishika's hand stopped him and with one last look towards the café he dragged himself with her struggling to keep up pace with him towards the car. Anger was evident on his face and Ishika smirked thinking that this would probably keep Randhir away from Sanyukta.

******

Sanyukta walked in the house an hour later with a smile on her face but the smile slipped of her face as soon as she entered the house. The scene in front of her made the ground slip from beneath her. There was Randhir in front of Ishika and it seemed they were kissing each other. The bag in her hand fell causing a loud sound and making the other two get startled and look at her direction.

Sanyukta: I am.. I am.. so.. sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you both. I will just walk into my room.

Sanyukta ran to her room with shaky steps without looking in their direction. Randhir got confused by her words and looked at Ishika who shrugged not knowing what happend and the reason of her such behaviour. Randhir wanted to go behind Sanyukta and ask but the scene of the café roamed in front of his eyes and all he chose was to do ignore for a while and walked into his room calling it a night!
