Sorry mumma daddy. Meri wajah se aapko sunna pada. I bury my face in the pillow.

There is a knock on the door. "Sanyukta darwaza kholo." It's Randhir. "Jaao yaha se Randhir" I say in a heavy voice.

"Arree toilet jaaana hai kholo naa.." He says banging the door.

Whatt...

"Ahhh kholo jaldi ahh please" he says banging it more loudly. Oh god such a pareshaani he is!

I go and open the door. He is standing there holding a plate of rice. Achha tarika tha darwaaza khulwaane ka.

He wants to eat his lunch watching me cry? Wow. I go and sit on the bed and he comes and sits besides me. "Sanyukta?" he says in a low voice. "Kya tum thik ho?"

And his words send me to the edge again. I start crying again with both my hands over my face. He removes both my hands and holds them. He sits on his knees in front of me on the floor. "Mujhe toh laga tum fighter ho. Kisi se nahi darti. Bass thodi si hi daat padi toh ye haalat banaa li tumne?" he says.

"Vo mere mom dad ke baare me aisa kaise.. unhe kya pata.. vo kyu aisa.. mujhe daatna chahiye na? Mom dad ko kyu involve kiye?" I say and the tears start again.

He holds my face and wipes my eyes with both his thumbs. "Shh shh I know. But rone se kya hoga. You gotta prove him wrong now. Sabse jyada issi subject me score karna. Bolti band ho jaayegi" he says and smiles. "Baaki tu bolti toh ussko khopche me le ja ke fodu kya? Chipkata hu uske thobde pe do teen. Kya?" he says in a tapori tone and I giggle. He gives me a big smile.

He gives me the plate. I am really hungry.. subah se kuch nahi khaya. I take the plate and start eating. Randhir is looking at me with a shocked face. "Kya hua" I ask with my mouth full. "Do plate nahi de rahe the vo so.... anyway you are welcome" he says and rolls his eyes.

Oh shit! I laugh. "Sorry sorry tum bhi khaao lo.. and thank you cartoon ji" I keep the plate between us and we both start to eat. Within 10 minutes we clear the plate. I go to wash my hands and when I come out he is lying down on his bed.

"Thusne ke baad seedha soyega toh tera ye pet bhaalu maafik bada ho jaayega. Bole toh kya bolte hai angreji me.. haaa.. fat fat" I say in a tapori tone and he directly sits up and looks at me with a shocked but amused expression.

"Sanyukta??" He says with his eyes wide and a big smile. I laugh. "Wah re chhori.. apun se bhi hard hai tu toh haa. Apni mast jamegi. Chal haath milaa dost. Vo kya bolte hai angreji me?? Ha phrend!" He replies and forwards his hand. I give him my hand and shake it "Ha phrend phrend."

We both laugh. "Chalo ab mujhe wapas late nahi hona" I say.

"Tum jaao mai aata hu" he says and I leave.
