Parth was still adoring Randhir's smile, that had gone on a long last vacation from his buddy's life.. Sanyukta now had her eyes rolling in all the directions and sharpened her ears so as not to miss even the slightest of any noise.. "Kya office me monster kam tha, ab ghar me bhi bhuton ke saat Rehna pad raha hai.." She cribbed.. Adding to her fear, TV on the hallway turned on by itself.. Sanyukta screamed.. Parth noticed this sight and was surprised to see Sanyukta bundle herself in a corner.. "How on earth did the TV get switched on by itself?" She wondered.. She was not in a mood to believe that a ghost can take the remote and turn it on coz she still had the remote in her hand.. Sanyukta slowly got down from her bed and proceeded towards the TV, chanting all the mantras she knew, all the way.. She carefully turned it off and rushed towards her bed.. The moment she sat, her TV went on again, this time, on high volume.. It was literally screaming at her..

Randhir was still laughing at this horrifying yet comic sight.. Amidst all this he caught a glimpse of Parth, staring at him.. "Kya Dekh rahe ho Parth? Isn't it worth laughing your heart out? Dekho waha, I have finally managed to scare her.. Pata hai, she always talks to me, in such a commanding tone.. Mere ankhon me ankhein dalke baat karti hai.. I was fed up literally.. What I couldn't do personally, is being done by that TV.. Amazing isn't it?" He pointed outside the window..

"But Randhir.. Kya waha Sach me bhoot hai kya? How's it happening? I mean, how's this possible??" Parth wondered... "Parth, haven't you watched Home Alone 3? TV waha aur remote yaha.. Her bad luck and my good luck is that we both own the same brand TV.. TV same remote bhi same.." Randhir winked at Parth.. At a distance, Parth could see Sanyukta wondering in awe, her eyes popping out, as to what had happened to her TV all of a sudden.. Randhir kept turning it off and on, totally enjoying the sight, until they heard a loud thud..

Sanyukta wasn't there.. She wasn't visible from Randhir's flat.. Randhir stopped playing with the remote and leaned forward to take a better look.. Sanyukta was lying on the floor unconscious.. "Ohhh shittt..!" Next moment, Randhir was on his feet, rushing towards her flat.. Parth followed him.. Randhir took the steps 3 at a time and reached her apartment.. It was locked from inside.. He knocked it wildly.. "Open the door damn it..!" There wasn't any response.. He was sweating badly.. His eyes suddenly fell on the glass window, he didn't hesitate a moment to break it open with his hands and jumped inside.. His injured hand didn't bother him a wee bit.. She was lying there in a corner unconscious.. Randhir took her in his arms and patted her cheeks "Hey there.. Open your eyes.. Listen.. You can't do this.. Just open your eyes damn it..!" He was trying hard to bring her back in her senses, but, in his own way.. "Listen.. Get up..! Shittt..!" He glanced around, placed her in the bed, brought her a glass of water and splashed it on her face.. "Get up I say.." His voice full of command as well as concern.. She slowly opened her eyes.. "Thank God..!" Only then, he allowed his heart to beat.. It had stopped beating all this while.. Sanyukta tried to look at him, while he said "Are you mad? Why did you fall unconscious? You dumb crazy girl.."

While he was still talking, She rushed into his arms, crying.. She hugged him tight, Randhir had his hands open in the air.. He was stunned to get such a reaction from her.. He had expected a loud scream or a slap in which she is very good at, but a HUG was something that wasn't called for.. She still seemed to be lost somewhere, that caressing hug meant she wasn't in this world.. It got confirmed when she whispered "I am afraid of being alone.. Don't leave me alone please.." followed by her feeble weeps.. The pain in her voice, hit straight in his heart.. She was crushing his heart with end pain.. He so wanted to hug her back and comfort her, but then something stopped her from doing so.. He raised his hand to pat her back.. Parth reached her flat and found her hugging Randhir.. The moment he saw Parth, Randhir backed off..  He avoided meeting Parth's eyes and proceeded straight down to get to his flat..

By then, Sanyukta was back in her senses too.. "You okay?" Parth asked.. She nodded in a yes.. He continued "Hmmm please don't mind.. It was Randhir's prank.. There's no ghost in this house.. Your TV was being operated by him.. He didn't mean to hurt you.. Please don't think otherwise.. Take care.." He left the place..

Randhir still stood by the window, keeping an eye on her.. Somewhere he felt guilty.. Parth shook his shoulders.. "Randhir we should talk.." Randhir looked back "hmmm Parth you haven't had your dinner na Chalo let's go out.."

"Randhir I said I want talk.. Woh apartment.." Parth started to talk while Randhir intervened.. "Parth Kuch Kaam tha kya? So late you have come to meet me? Sab thik hai na?" He diverted the topic again.. "Randhir please don't distract me.. I want to talk about Sanyukta.." This time Randhir couldn't argue.. "Kya puchna hai pucho.."

"Randhir don't you think you finally have a reason to smile in your life? Someone has made you smile, Infact, laugh twice in the past 24 hours.. That someone might be the one for you.. You definitely know whom I am referring to.. Hai na?" Parth looked deep..  "Shut up Parth.. Bakwas band karo and just leave.." Randhir yelled..

"Randhir don't cheat yourself buddy.. You've every right to live your life with the right girl and Sanyukta is a great choice.." Parth insisted while Randhir screamed again.. "Parthhhhh I said leave.. Enough.. Bahut ho Gaya ab..!" Parth knew Randhir was in denial mode.. He decided to leave him alone this time.. "Okay Randhir.. I ll see you. Take care.." He bid good bye.. Randhir shut his door once Parth went out of sight.. Somewhere, something was disturbing him... He stood there, thinking all that happened in his life so far.. Finally, he came out of his trance, when the clock struck 12.. He rushed to his window to check on Sanyukta.. The lights were off.. Windows were closed.. "She slept?" He wondered while he heard a knock on his door.. He opened it to find Sanyukta standing there with a bag.. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I can't stay in that ghost house anymore.. I am going to stay with you, right here.. Chalo hato.." She pushed him aside and barged inside, all he could do was to stare at her, with his mouth open.. "Hein?" She smiled at him, as if implying "It's my turn Mister!"
