"Randhir''only this word escape from her mouth.Yess the person who is playing the tune on piano,Randhir.His eyes were closed.She took tiny steps in his direction and stood just beside him.The music was depicting a kind of pain.Randhir too lost in the music to feel her presence.She herself drown in the music.

But...his trance was broken by the tinkle of her anklet,his eyes open with a jolt.He turned his head behind and find her looking here and there with embarrassment.

Rd-you are here..kaise...I mean you slept.

S-wo....I was..thirsty...so..ummm..when I was returning from kitchen...heard the music..sorry mujhe bina permission k...isss tarah..ni aana chahiye tha yahan.(she fumble with each word)

Rd-its okay its not your fault..I am happy that you came here.Sanyukta this is the another fact of my personal life,whenever I feel low I use to play piano,my grand ma taught me to play it.Tell me kaisa laga?

S-it was beyond the word..I felt like I was in some other world.Sachi Randhir tumhare pas ek or itna amazing talent hai mujhe pata ni tha.

Rd-even my best friend Parth ko bhi ni pata aaj tak.

S-maine bahut suna hai tumhare friend Parth k bare m but I never saw or meet him,where does he live?

Rd-he is in US for some purpose but tum jald hi usse milogi he is coming next week.

S-ohh acha I am going now good night.

she was about to turn when he call her from behind-

"Sanyukta wait I want to say something"he says with a strange kind of emotion in his eyes.She look at him with puzzle.

Rd-there is more about me that I want to tell you...come with me.

He took Sanyukta with him to a room which was full of dark.when he switch on the light she looked around the whole room,it seems that nobody come here often,the room was full of dust and webs.

S-ye kiska room hai  Randhir its very dirty aisa lag raha hai ki bshut time se yahan koi ni aya kiska room hai ye?

Rd-it is my room Sanyukta...my childhood spend in this room.It has both golden and dark memories of mine.

S-dark..mai samajhi ni.

Rd-Sanyukta aaj taj ye batein maine kisi se bhi share ni ki but pata ni aaj aisa laga ki tumse share karu the pain I went throw in these years the sufferings that made me this strong and capable....Sanyukta I too had a happy family like other children of my age but one day sab kuch khatam ho gaya.(he was sobbing by now).

"You know Sanyukta I hate the entire women species till I met you,you are the only one who I am this close kyinki mujhe laga ki tum m mai ek sachcha dost pa sakta hu''says Randhir.

''but why do you hate women Randhir ''says ask curiously.

"My father was betrayed by a woman he loves,he shares his life...my mother..yess that woman was my own mother..she left him and me for the thirst for more money and another man..I was only 10 year old...mai school m tha jab wo chhod kar gayi sab kuch...ek baar bhi mere bare m ni socha..mujhse milne k bare m.I loved my mother most in the world,she was my everything.bahut roya tha mai uss din,maind intezar kiya ki wo kab ayengi of mujhe apni god m baithakar mujhe pyaar karengi.She used to love me a lot but that love proved weak in the front of the dazzle of money.I saw my dad all broken.he never showed his inner turmoil  after me but when I sleep he used to cry looking at her photo.Mai roj chupke se unhe dekhta tha..bas uss din se decide kiya ki kisi bhi aurat ko apne room ya aone kareeb kabhi ni ane dunga...they only give pain and betrayal,but my thinking proved wrong when I met you you have a different wibe in you,you are'nt interested in my money or my fame...you are my best friend please never leave me alone...ni jee paunga mai....ni jee paunga''(he broke  down   completely finishing the last sentence).

She also had tears in her eyes listening to his painful past,she does'nt say anything but hugged him tightly to soothe him,he hugged her from waist like a kid.After some time she break the hug and wiped his face with her dupatta.

S-I promise you Randhir I'll never leave you agar tum chahoge to bhi ni...wada karti hu tumse mai.

Rd-really.

S-hmm..now sleep its too late and we have office also.

Rd-thank you for understanding me.

S-friendship m no sorry no thank you.

both giggle o her statement.
