He turned around and found sanyukta standing there with her eyes wide open in shock. He gulped the lump formed in his throat.

What if she heard everything? What if she will make fun of him? What if she rejects his friendship?

Various 'what ifs' were dancing in his mind which was stopped by her. She came forward and stood close to him.

"Shak toh hume pehle se hi tha lekin ab yakeen ho gya hai ki tum poore pagal ho. Aise kon akele mei khud se baat karta hai haan. Waise kya bol rhe the tum abhi? Kisse dosti karni hai tumhe?" She first taunted then asked in confusion.

"Tumse" he blurted out in a reflex.

"Humse? TUMHE HUMSE DOSTI KARNI HAI!! Lekin kyu? Yeh tumhari koi nayi chaal hai naa" she narrowed her eyes accusingly.

"Oh koi chaal waal nhi hai. Tumhare jaise shatir dimaag wale nhi hain naa hum." He taunted.

"Dimaag toh tumhare paas waise hi nhi hai. Hum kese maan le ki tum sach bol rhe ho?" She wriggled her eyebrows.

"Arree woh... Ab tumhe puri baat hi batani padegi, betho yaha *they both sat on the bed* woh baat yeh hai ki Aryan ne humse kaha tha ki hume tumse dosti kar leni chahiye." He hesitated.

"Kyu?" She quipped.

"Taki... Taki tum humse ladai karna band kardo." He gulped.

"Hum ladai karte hain tumse." She shouted.

"Dekho phir ladne lagi, ek toh hum tumko sab kuch sach sach bata rhe hain aur tum hum hi pe chikh rhi ho." He complained.

"Acha acha thik hai. Lekin hume toh lagta tha ki tum humse nafrat karte ho." She twisted her lips.

"Karte toh hain... Nhi matlab karte THE lekin phir socha ki ab saath hi rehna hai toh kyu naa dosti karle." He forced a smile.

"Achaaa... Aur woh wahan kya kar rhe the?" She raised an eyebrow pointing towards the mirror.

"Woh Aryan ne bola tha ki tumko dosti ke liye ache se puche toh pra..practice kar rhe the." He looked down in embarrassment.

Hearing this she burst out in laughter. He just twisted her lips listening to her giggles. Sometime passed and she was still laughing holding her stomach, looking at her even he chuckled and after a while started laughing with her remembering his own antics.

"Tum... Tum naa... Ekdum... Pagal ho." She said between her laughter.

"Oye hum pagal nhi hain. Pagal toh woh Aryan hai."

"Tum dono hi pagal ho." She concluded.

They both were out of breathe and tried to regain their breaths. Both looked at each other at the same time, resulting in a perfect eye lock, but it was short lived as both looked away feeling awkward.

There was silence for a minute which was broken by randhir.

"Toh?" He asked.

"Toh?" She asked back.

"Arree toh tum humse dosti karogi?" He asked finally looking at her.

"Hmmm... Yeh toh sochne wala matter hogya..." She pretended to think hard.

"Waise hum sirf special logo se dosti karte hain." She stated after a minute.

"Acha toh uss Aryan mei aisa kya special dekha tumne." He chirped irritatedly.

"Arree humari marzi hai." She was offended.

"Humne hi galti kardi tumse pooch ke. Aryan se baat hi nhi karni chahiye thi." He was completely annoyed.

Sanyukta just rolled her eyes and went to the washroom to change in her nightwear, while randhir sat there moving an irritated hand through his mane.

They slept and as earlier sanyukta created a divider between them, randhir just gave her an uninterested look as he knew the morning result of it.

As the morning peeped in, Randhir opened his eyes slowly only to shriek in horror finding his wife close to his face looking at him intently.

As he shouted sanyukta came out of her trance and closed her ears. He got up with a jerk and stood in front of her with his hand on his heart.

"Heart attack dena chahti ho kya hume?" His voice loud and panic stricken.

She still kept looking at him and opened her mouth to say something and closed it.

"Woh hum bas kuch soch rhe the toh dhyan nhi diya." She finally said embarrassed.

"Tum naa sahi mei pagal ho." He started going towards the balcony to get some fresh air.

"Ruko" her voice stopped him. He turned and raised one eyebrow questionably.

"Kya hai." He was rude as he didn't forget last night's events.

"Hum tumse dosti karne ko tayaar hain." She chirped biting her lips.

"Kya kaha" he wasn't able to believe what she just said.

"Humne kaha hum tumse dosti karne ko tayaar hain." This time she was louder.

"Aur achanak se kyu? Kal tak toh hum special nhi the." He mocked.

"Special toh tum abhi bhi nhi ho, lekin humne socha ki ab poore time tumse ladne mei humara hi khoon jalta hai. Tumhe toh koi farak nhi padta, toh kya fayda, haina? Isiliye humne decide kiya ki tumse dosti karlenge" she explained her reason in detail.

Randhir twisted his lips at her choice of words but let it go for the moment as he was somewhere happy at this new accomplishment.

He was busy in his thoughts when she stood in front of him and forwarded her hand to shake with his.

"Friends?" She asked cutely.

"Friends." He said smilingly joining their palms.
