Next day morning was a bit unusual for Randhir..
From past more than two months it was Randhir who wake up early before Sanyukta..
But that day their routine changed..
Randhir woke up and glanced at Sanyukta's side of bed just to find it empty..

Randhir sat on the bed.. "are yeh Sanyu itni subha subha kahan gayi.." he said lazily..
"office ka left over work finish kar rahi hogi... Jake dekh aata hu ek baar.." saying so he hopped down from the bed and slipped into his slippers..
And the very moment the restroom door clicked opened and there stood Sanyukta..

Randhir lightly shook his head and blinked his eyes several times..
It was hard for him to digest what he was seeing that time..
"kya huya?? Kaise kya dekh rahe ho..??" Sanyukta said casually drying her wet hair with the towel..
He didn't notice when Sanyukta came near him..

"umm.. Ohh.. Sanyukta.. Kuch.. Kuch bhi nehi.." he composed himself..
"tum aaj itni jaldi uth gayi?? Aur yeh dress.." he continued..
Sanyukta put the towel on the bed and furrowed her eyebrows..
"main early morning nehi uth sakti kya??
Aur 'yeh dress' ka kya matlab??"

(Sanyukta's attire)

"nehi nehi.. Kyun nehi.. Uth sakti ho nah tum early morning..
Aur woh actually tum pehenti nehi ho nah.. I mean maine kabhi dekha nehi hain nah tumhe Indian attire me.. Issiliye.." Randhir justified himself..

"haan.. Woh main pure saal me fir aaj ke din hi aisi dress pehenti hu.." she said in a low voice..
"aur suno mere liye breakfast aur lunch mat banana.." she added..

"sirf aj ke din hi kyun??
Aur breakfast kyun nehi karni tumhe..
Woh I got it.. Tumhe kahi jata hain nah abhi..
Don't worry 2 minutes do mujhe main abhi Maggie bana deta hu tumhare liye.." he ran out of their room before Sanyukta could say anything further..
"subha jaldi nikalna tha toh kal raat ko hi bolna chahiye tha nah Sanyu..
Main haldi uthke breakfast bana deta.." she heard Randhir yelling those words from kitchen followed by the sounds of some falling vessels..

"yeh ladka puri baat kyun nehi sunta.. Arghh.." and she marched towards the kitchen..
Upon reaching kitchen she saw Randhir had already put a pan on the gas oven and filled it with water..
She turned off the flame and snatched the Maggie packet from his hand..

"are kya yaar Sanyu.. Aise toh tum aur late ho jayogi..
Maggie de do mujhe.." Randhir tried to take a Maggie packet back..

"maine bola nah mujhe nehi khana abhi.. Kyun zid kar rahe ho.. Haan??
Mandir jaa rahi hu main.. Puja hain..
Aur puja se pehle nehi khana mujhe.." Sanyukta said a bit loudly as Randhir wasn't listening her..

"kya.. What..puja.. Really?? Did you just said something like mandir and puja??" Randhir was astonished by her word..
"haan.. Yahi bola maine..
I'm going to temple for puja.." she said slowly..

"Hahaha... Tum mandir bhi jati ho.. Tumhe dekhke toh aisa nehi lagta.." Randhir laughed at her..
But the next moment he stopped laughing hearing Sanyukta..

"sach kaha tumne.. Main nehi jati mandir..
Par woh kya hain nah aaj mamma papa ki barsi hain.. Issiliye jaa rahi hu mandir.." her voice was heavy..

Randhir cursed himself for laughing at her..
He felt extremely guilty for making fun of her emotions..

"I'm.. I'm sorry Sanyukta.. I'm extremely sor.." Randhir started but Sanyukta stopped him in between..
"it's okay Randhir.. Tumhe iss bare me kuch bhi nehi pata tha.. So it's okk.." she said calmly..
"Sanyukta sacchi me maine jan bujhke nehi bola..please maaf kar do mujhe.." he pleaded..
"are I'm not angry.. Aur waise bhi I know.. Tum kabhi bhi kissi ko intentionally hurt nehi karoge..
So chillax.. Don't feel guilty.." Sanyukta placed her palm on his shoulder and said..

Randhir smiled a little.. He felt good that Sanyukta trusted him..
"accha Sanyu main bhi chalunga tumhare saath.." he said after coming out of the kitchen..
"kya..?? Bilkul bhi nehi.. Har saal main akeli hi pyjamas karti hu..
Even Parth, Tanya aur orphanage ke baki bacche alag se orphanage me hi puja karte hain.." Sanyukta stated..

"are main gaya tumhare saath toh aisa konsa pahad tut padega.. Haan??
I'm coming with you.." Randhir said stubbornly..
"nehi.." she chipped strictly..
"saath nehi le gayi toh sochunga ke maaf nehi kiya tumne abhi bhi mujhe.." he mentally smirked and showed puppy eyes to Sanyukta..

"are par aisa nehi hain.. Zid mat karo Randhir.." she tried to make Randhir understand..
"gussa nehi ho nah... Maaf kar diya nah mujhe..??" he asked cutely..
"haan babba.." she said..
"yay.. That's mean mujhe bhi le chalogi tum aapne saath.." he jumped in happiness..
Sanyukta's eyes got widened.. "are par maine aisa kab.." Randhir cut her off..

"tum nah ruko.. Main five minutes me ready hoke aata hu.." and he dashed into the washroom..
Sanyukta facepalmed herself seeing Randhir's antics..
"yeh ladka baat kyun nehi sunta meri.."
And made a face..
