Randhir and Sanyukta reached the airport on time and after check in and security check, they had their dinner at the food court of the airport and after that they were waiting at their boarding gate talking to each other.....

Delhi Airport, 10:45 PM

Announcement: "This is an announcement for passengers on flight AI 232 to Mumbai.....We are ready for boarding.....please report to boarding gate 45 ...."

Randhir: Let's go Chashmish....

Sanyukta: yeah.....

After that they boarded the flight and settled on their seats.... Randhir took the window seat and Sanyukta sat in the middle seat while the third seat was occupied by a young guy wearing headphones. After settling Sanyukta took out a novel from her bag and began reading it and seeing her that guy began talking to her.......

Guy: "Wish I could tell You".....that's one of my favourite novels......

Sanyukta: Really.....I love this story too.....

Guy: Yeah the way the author has written it.....that's beautiful

Sanyukta(smiling):That's true......

Guy: By the way......I am Ananth.....

Sanyukta(laughing):No wonder you love this story.....after all you and the protagonist of this story share the same name......(teasingly)you must also be looking for your Mohini, the female protagonist of this novel

Ananth(flirtingly): Well.....I would be lucky if the beautiful girl in front of me turns out to be my Mohini....

Randhir(irritatingly):Well sorry to break your dreams dude.....she is no Mohini of yours......she is Sanyukta.....

Ananth: well what is there in name dude......what matters is the soul.....am I right Ms. Sanyukta....?

Sanyukta: true.......

Randhir(in mind and mimicking): What matters is the soul.....huh.....flirt kahin ka.....aur yeh Chashmish bhi bahut smile kar ke baat kar rhi hai.....main flirt karun toh shameless and that bloody Ananth is a gentlemen....huh

Announcement: Passengers.....please fasten your seat belts.....we are ready to take off.

Randhir(in mind): no way...... I can't bear this torture for the whole flight....

Randhir: Chashmish.....if you don't mind....please come on this window seat....mujhe suffocation ho rhi hai....

Sanyukta:what?.....pehle toh you were fighting for this seat.....and now you are saying you want to sit in the middle

Randhir: yes.....(sarcastically)now will you please do the honours....?

Sanyukta(frowning):Ok Chill.....come....

After that they both exchanged seats.....and Randhir smirked towards Ananth as if he has achieved something big......

After that the plane began moving on runway and Sanyukta clutched the seat tightly and closed her eyes.....Randhir saw that she was scared.....

Randhir(genuinely): Hey Chashmish....if you are scared then you can hold my hand.....I don't mind...

Sanyukta held his hand and finally when the plane took off....she sighed in relief and left his hand

Sanyukta: Thanks Randhir....

Randhir(smirking): Pleasure is all mine Chashmish........

After sometime Sanyukta slept and her head fell on Randhir's shoulder.....Randhir adjusted her properly and was just admiring her....when Ananth whispered to him.....

Ananth: Dude you are one lucky guy.......you have got such a cute girlfriend.....take care of her.....

Randhir for a moment wanted to correct him but then he thought what's the harm in pretending.....

Randhir(smirking):You are right dude..... "She is all mine"......

Announcement: Passengers please sit upright and fasten your seatbelts....we are about to land in about 15 minutes.....Thanks for flying with us....hope you will travel with us again.....

Randhir(softly patting her cheeks): Chashmish.....wake up....we are about to land....come on

Sanyukta(yawning):Hmmm......

After that the flight landed and they collected their luggage from the luggage belt....

Ananth: Ok guys see you soon....it was really nice meeting you Sanyukta....and I must say you are really lucky to have him.....

Sanyukta(confused but smiling): Same here.......next time maybe with your mohini.....

Ananth(winking):definitely....bye

Randhir: Huh....flirt kahin ka.....

Sanyukta(rolling her eyes):look who is saying.....

Randhir(innocently):What do you mean?

Sanyukta: Nothing.....ab chalen?

Randhir: Yes....I will book a cab for us....

Sanyukta (confusingly): Us?

Randhir: Kyun....Any problem?

Sanyukta: No....I mean tum toh ghar jaoge....and I will check in a hotel right....and tumne mujhe bataya bhi nhi ki kaun sa hotel book kiya hai tumne....

Randhir(scratching his forehead): Ummm....Chashmish.....I have not booked any hotel for you...

Sanyukta(widening her eyes):What????.....Ab main itni raat ko kahan jaungi.....what will I do?

Randhir:Chashmish.....I did not book a hotel for you because you will be staying in my house....

Sanyukta:Are you out of your mind Randhir?......how can I stay in your house.....and what will your parents think?

Randhir: First of all Chashmish.....my parents are really cool.....and I already informed my mom that you will be coming with me and she especially asked me to bring you home.....and tonight anyways we are alone as my dad has gone to London for a week and my mom is at my aunt's house as she is not well.....and even I have stayed at your home once.....what's the problem....?

Sanyukta: Randhir.....why don't you understand?

Randhir: I am not listening anything Chashmish.....you have to come now.....

After that he booked a cab and they sat inside and finally they reached his society....he paid the cab driver and then moved towards the elevator and pressed the 4th floor button.....they reached in front of his house.....he took out his keys from under the mat and unlocked the house and switched on the lights.....

Randhir: Welcome to my paradise Chashmish....my home sweet home

Sanyukta entered his house. It was a well maintained spacious 3 BHK flat. He showed her the guest room which was clean and well maintained. Since they were tired from the flight journey....so they freshened up and went to sleep

Saturday, 6 AM

Sanyukta woke up and went to feshen up. In about 45 minutes she was ready. Her conference was at 9 AM and she had no idea as to how much time will it take to reach St.Xaviers branch from lokhandwala. She had to ask Randhir about it. She knocked his room's door but there was no response

Sanyukta(in mind): I think he's still sleeping....what should I do?

Hesitantly, she entered his room and saw that he was still sleeping with mouth open like a baby.......

Sanyukta: Randhir wake up....it's already 7....get up.....

Randhir: Umm.....let me sleep yaar....I am too tired

Sanyukta: Ok....you keep sleeping.....I have a conference to attend....so I am leaving....

Randhir : Umm.....

Sanyukta was about to leave when his phone started ringing....first she thought that she should leave but his phone was continuously ringing.....she thought that it might be some important call....so she saw his phone and it was showing "DD Calling".....

Sanyukta(in mind ): DD....?what sort of a name is DD.....?

Sanyukta(patting his shoulder): Randhir wake up.....your phone is ringing....

Randhir just turned his face and slept again.....

Sanyukta: Randhir.....your phone is ringing.....see some DD is calling.....

Listening DD, Randhr woke up with a jolt......

Randhir : What.....?

Sanyukta(surprised): Wow....I wish maine DD half an hour pehle bola hota......

Randhir snatched his phone from her and immediately picked up....

Randhir: yeah dude.....I am coming......no yaar .....I am definitely coming.....yeah I'll text you the place and time....ok bye

Sanyukta heard the one sided conversation and was confused.....

Randhir: Oh shit.....it's already 7:30....damn yaar.....Chashmish at what time is your conference?

Sanyukta: At 9 AM

Randhir: Chashmish.....why didn't you woke me up before.....St. Xaviers college is around an hour distance from my house and you don't know about Mumbai's traffic.....

Sanyukta: Randhir....I have been waking you up from last half an hour.....but tum uth hi nhi rahe the......now go and freshen up......I will see something for breakfast......if you don't mind

Randhir(running towards washroom): Chashmish.....apna hi ghar samjho and ya prepare something light for me......fridge main fresh fruits honge woh cut kar lena....and prepare some green tea for me as well.....and please pick my white shirt and black jeans from the cupboard and my belt and socks as well

Sanyukta(widening her eyes): Oh hello......tumhari wife nhi hun jo itne order diye chale jaa rahe ho.....

Randhir: Chashmish .....right now I literally don't have the time to take 7 rounds around the fire and put mangalsutra and sindoor in your maang.....woh sab formalities hum baad main karenge abhi tum yeh sab kar lo....ok baby....

Sanyukta(jaws dropped): Randhir you......!!!!!

Randhir(laughing from the washroom): Just kidding Chashmish......by the way towel toh pass karna mujhe....

Sanyukta threw the towel on him......took out his clothes and went to prepare breakfast.....

Sanyukta(chopping the fruits): (Mimicking Randhir)...Chashmish cut some fresh fruits.....mere clothes aur belt nikal dena....huh......he thinks that he is the ruler of some kingdom....

Randhir(smirking): I am indeed the ruler sweetheart....ruler of your heart.....

He was all ready and fresh in his white shirt and black jeans with set hair....looking all handsome

Sanyukta(angrily setting the dining table):huh.....(sarcastically)....anything else you would like to have my lord....

Randhir: yeah dear .....where is my green tea.....?

Sanyukta: Green tea chahiye.....here

She began running behind him to throw the hot cup on him.......

Randhir(running): Chashmish.......please forgive me......don't ruin my handsome face.....saari girls tumhe mere murder ke liye blame karengi.......

Sanyukta: mujhe agar 7 khoon maaf hote na.....toh main saari 7 opportunities tum par hi use kar leti.....

Randhir(flirting): 7 khoon toh nhi.....7 kiss maaf ho jayengi chashmish....tumhe 8th kiss free

Sanyukta(angrily): Randhir......!!!!!
