Sanyukta was really glad to have spent time with Vidushi during Diwali, she was literally the only person she could open up to. With her best friend and confidante back in Delhi she would miss her a lot but at least now they could call each other regularly. This was Sanyukta's first Diwali away from home and she got really emotional recalling her family, also because this was her first Bhai Dooj without her brother Ankit. She was moved to tears when Vidushi performed the Tika to Randhir.

She heard that her parents had moved to Kolkata, while Ankit and Prerana had remained back to start their unhindered marital life as they had always wanted. She tried calling her mother several times but could not get through; she must have changed her phone number on moving.

Both Randhir and Parth had gotten really busy with a very demanding line-up including their semester-end examinations, Mood Indigo- the famous college fest of IITB held in the last week of December and then Techfest, its annual science and technology festival held in December and January. They had moved back on campus as they were pressed for time and could not afford to be distracted. Much as she wanted she hardly saw Randhir during the time, although he would call her daily even if it was just for a couple of minutes.

She was reduced to cooking one pot meals as there was nobody to share dinner with. She utilised the spare time to catch up with her own pending college assignments and studies. She made a lot of money working with YoYo as there was a great demand for events and parties close to the end of the year. At night she could freely chat with Vidushi on the phone, as both the boys were occupied and Vidushi could no longer spend hours talking to Parth like she used to.

This one night though after she had showered and was just sitting down to dinner she heard a knock on the door followed by a familiar voice calling out to her. In her eagerness she rushed to the door to let him in and then remembered just in time that she had forgotten her veil.

She hurried to cover her face and let in an impatient Randhir looking exhausted and disheveled, as he rushed straight away for a much needed bath. She took out a fresh set of clothes for him since he mentioned he was staying the night and loaded his laundry in the washing machine.

After they finished dinner he had barely let her wind up before he dragged her into the bedroom switching off the lights and placed himself upon her throwing caution to the wind, peeling off her clothes at the same time. She had never felt him kiss her so hungrily. Soon his hands caressed every inch of her skin and his lips urgently found her sweet spots, arousing her like never before. His palms cupped her as his mouth teased her peaks gently. As if that was not enough she sensed him head southward and bury himself into her softness, his tongue going berserk on her till she cried in rapture as her senses exploded. Letting her ride her first ever wave of ecstasy, he gathered her in his arms urging her to breathe deeply, wiping her tears and stroking her tresses till he calmed her down, pulling the duvet over them.

Being a little concerned he asked her if she was all right, in reply she just clung to him fast, her ears registering the beating of his heart, as she urged him to never let her go. In her mind she thanked him for having granted her the wish she had nurtured for so long, now she could not bear the thought of sharing with anyone else what she had shared with him, he was her first ever and would be her only one till her last breath.

He smiled as his mind acknowledged how right it felt to have given her this moment and how it would not have been so sacrosanct had there been anybody else in her place. She had ruined him for other women; he need not see her eyes to sense the devotion they attributed to him. He had finally realised, slowly but surely he was falling in love with her.
