Randhir froze seeing Aryan following Sanyukta into the dining area. What is he doing here? Randhir wondered. Randhir wants to be cordial with Aryan, after all he had left ISRC for Sanyukta and Mars Mission, but he isn't able to. Recollecting how Aryan had been trying to get close to Sanyukta made Randhir want to just hate him. He frowned watching Sanyukta happily talk to him. He kept looking intently at her, though his gaze was normal Randhir didn't like it. He took a step but just then Kishore stepped out of the living room.

Kishore stopped in his tracks when he saw Aryan with Sanyukta. He looked pleasantly surprised. Kishore remembers little of him.

'Papa. Look who has come.' Sanyukta gushed happily, -

'You remember him, Papa. He worked with me in the same office, also at ISRC. He had come to our home too.' Sanyukta said excitedly. Kishore smiled at her and just nodded at Aryan. Randhir rolled his eyes as Aryan touched Kishore's feet. Sanyukta looked on with a smile.

Randhir placed his hands on his hips. What a show off- Randhir thought bitterly

Kishore half-heartedly blessed him and smiled, then out of courtesy he asked, - 'Beta, come have Breakfast with us.'

Aryan felt hesitant but Sanyukta chirped in. 'Yes, Aryan. And stay with us for some time.' – She then turned to Kishore, - 'Haina, Papa?' She asked. Randhir folded his arms angrily.

Kishore looked at his daughter's hopeful face and couldn't refuse. He nodded and then looked at Aryan, - 'Yes, beta. Sanyukta is right.' Kishore said. Aryan shook his head and kept refusing.

Bloody attention seeker – Randhir pressed his lips tightly and glared at him.

'No, Aryan. You must stay. I am not going to take No for an answer.' Sanyukta said sternly. Aryan sighed and nodded, - 'Okay.' He said

Anything for you. Anyway, it has been so long since I got to spend time with you- Aryan thought dreamily.

Sanyukta asked him to freshen up and looked ahead. Just then she spotted Randhir and smiled widely.

'Randhir,' – She happily walked towards him, - 'Look, who is he-' She couldn't complete her sentence as Randhir had walked away. Sanyukta's smile disappeared instantly.

Aryan walked up to her and placed his palm on her shoulder. Sanyukta shifted little. 'Looks like he didn't like that I came here.' Aryan said in a small voice.

Sanyukta avoided his gaze when she replied, - 'Nothing like that. He must have remembered some work.' – she then turned to face him and forced a smile, - 'Come Aryan, let me show you your room.'

Sanyukta and Aryan were about to leave when Kishore called them, - 'One minute.'

*********************************************

Randhir paced in his room. Right now, he wished he had his punching bag and, so he could punch daylights out of it. No, better, he wished he had Aryan here. After few rounds, he felt his anger melt. He sighed and turned around.

'What are you doing here?' He asked on seeing Aryan at his door. Randhir made an annoyed face and as always Aryan looked expressionless.

'I didn't come here because I wanted to.' He said shoving his palms into his denim jeans. He looked confidently at Randhir. Like always, Randhir didn't get what he meant.

Just then Sanyukta came from behind Aryan. She looked fearfully at Randhir who looked sharply at her. She then looked back at Aryan.

'I have spoken to Kaka he will get you a spare blanket and pillow.' She said. Aryan nodded. Sanyukta looked at Randhir. He blinked at her. She gave him a helpless look and turned around walking away.

'What the hell? You are going to stay here?' Randhir exclaimed in disbelieve.

'Unfortunately, yes.' Aryan said. Randhir clenched his fists and walked up to him. They stood only a few steps away from each other.

'I am not going to share my room with you.' Randhir said bitterly.

Aryan smiled, looked down and then back at him, - 'I am not interested in sharing my room with you either. But Sanyukta's father has asked me to shift here. And Sanyukta wants that too. And I will do whatever makes her happy.'

Randhir took a step closer and spoke sternly, - 'Watch it, dude. Sanyukta isn't just your friend anymore. She is my wif- I mean girlfriend now. So, you needn't worry about her happiness.' – Randhir straightened puffing his chest, - 'I am there for her.' He said with pride. Aryan nodded. Randhir couldn't make out anything from his blank face. Is he angry? Annoyed? Or just blank? Nevertheless, Randhir stood his ground firmly and glared confidently into his eyes. The two men continued to scowl at each other until Kaka came with extra Pillow and Blanket.

************************************************

Aryan wasn't interested in spending time watching TV with Ankit and Kishore. He hasn't come here for that. He kept twitching his fingers glancing out of the living room, hoping he catches a glimpse of Sanyukta.

Finally, some restless moments later, he excused himself. Kishore eyed him suspiciously but doesn't object because he is Sanyukta's guest. Aryan exhaled deeply as he stepped out of the room.

Aryan couldn't contain his smile as he hurried towards the garden area where the servant has said Sanyukta is. He ran his fingers through his hair setting them properly before stepping into the open. He looked around and found Sanyukta by the bougainvillea plant. Aryan admired her dreamily as she walked on the grass, her palms touching the plants. A minute later, he took a deep breath and walked towards her. Skipping two steps he jumped on the grass and took quick steps towards her.

As he approached her Sanyukta turned around, her back facing him. Sanyukta wore a mint green spaghetti sleeved Kurthi and since her hair was resting on one side, her back was exposed. Aryan frowned on noticing something in black on her shoulder blade.

Is it a Tattoo? - Aryan wondered.

Sanyukta doesn't seem like someone who keeps Tattoo. Aryan froze few steps away from her when he read the writing- Sandhir

For Aryan: 

What are your thoughts on the Chapter, guys? Drop them in the comments *smiles*

Precap:- 'Randhir,'- Sanyukta giggled, - 'Are you mad? Aryan is here.'

'So? I don't care,' - Randhir pulled her closer, - 'also, the room is dark, and he is asleep.'

'Haww... still.' Sanyukta blushed playing with the top button of his Tee.

'Still what.' Randhir teased her. Sanyukta doesn't reply but simply shakes her head. Randhir found her pout very cute.

Aryan felt strange sound and weight shifting beside him. He propped little and slightly turned to check on Randhir. What the hell is he doing? Aryan wondered. His heart stopped momentarily when he spotted them....

Haawww *hides face* How is the Precap, guys??
