(in car)

"Hmm...How long will it take to reach the place?" Sanyukta asked

"Not much...we'll reach soon" Randhir replied

"Hmm" She rubbed her palms with each other

Randhir noticed it.

"Is it fine now?" He asked her adjusting the temperature of AC

"Hmm...Yes" She smiled looking at him

"So you like my family, our house, Jaiselmer?" Randhir asked hoping for positive reply

"Ohh Yes...they are lovely. Everyone in the family is so warm and welcoming. Specially Renuka Aunty she is darling and your Dadasa...my dadu's friend...he is so understanding and caring. And...."

"And..." Randhir asked expecting some more things from her specially about him.

"And...Lavanya & Sukanya...both are so friendly....I think three of us will jell up well..." Sanyukta said

"And..." Randhir looked at her again

"And...your house...I mean your Haveli...its beautiful...I have never seen such a beautiful palace." Sanyukta added further completely unaware of Randhir's feelings

"Hmm..." Randhir smiled

"I always wished for such family Randhir but I never got...For me my Dadu is my only family. Mum Dad left me when I was just 4. After that Dadu took great care of me. He raised me like his daughter. His princess. He never let me feel my parents absence. He is very protective about me. He supported me in my decisions. Never forced me on things which I don't like or I don't believe in. He is my everything." Sanyukta said with a heavy voice while Randhir was listening to her keenly

"But the truth is I miss my parents. Though I don't let dadu know that thinking he'll feel bad. I never let him know that miss Mum Dad. Sometimes I cry in my room when Dadu is fast asleep. I miss them...I..." Sanyukta broke down

"Sanyukta...." Randhir stopped the car and took her in hug.

Sanyukta hugged him back

Randhir had closed his eyes while Sanyukta felt relief in his embrace

God knows what happened. What made Randhir hug her like that. But as soon as Randhir spotted tears in her eyes he could not stop himself. He just did it. He followed his heart that time. He cannot see her in pain. Its pains him too. She deserves only happiness. No sorrows can touch her. 

But Sanyukta...what made me console her like that? Randhir thought

Sanyukta never felt such a warm feeling. She is feeling like she is hugging someone who is really close to her. The one who understands her  well. One who'll be there for her always. The one on whom she can rely....

Randhir? She thought and broke the hug all of sudden

"I am sorry...I just...Are you fine" Randhir asked looking everywhere but not her

"Yes...I am fine...Thank You" Sanyukta replied with a genuine smile.

Further the drive was silent

Randhir & Sanyukta were lost in their thoughts about the recent hug  they shared few minutes back

"Here...we reached" Randhir opened her side of door

"Finally" She exclaimed.

They entered inside and settled themselves on table

"Randhir...why is everyone looking at us like this" Sanyukta asked Randhir who was busy looking at people present in the restaurant.

"This people..." Randhir chuckled and looked at her

"Yes...like they are gawking us.." Sanyukta was little irritated

"They are in shock" Randhir said

"Why shock? Are we some aliens" Sanyukta said

"Not aliens..but they are shock cause they never expected this from me." Randhir stated

"Why?"

"Cause I am Randhir...For them Prince Randhir Singh Shekhawat. Sanyukta...They are shock because they never saw me like this in hotel with a girl that too quite late at night." "I belong to royal family which is looked upon and respected by the people of Jaiselmer" "So we cannot hang out like this with our friends. Places like resto, malls, threatres are restricted for us. Cause if people spot us there sab peeche pad jayenge. Though our guards are with us everywhere. But still..." Randhir explained her

"Ohh...I never thought about it. I am sorry for the discomfort. If you are not comfortable lets go from her." she said and was about to stand up

"Hey..Wait Wait. Its fine... Don't worry...Enjoy your double decked cheese pizza" Randhir made her sit down on chair

She was enjoying her pizza while Randhir was looking at her

She is baby. She is cute and innocent. Randhir thought

"Randhir...Have it" Sanyukta offered him pizza.

"No..Thank You...I am full" He replied and sipped his coffee

Few minutes later

"Randhir I need to use washroom...I'll  be back soon" Sanyukta informed

"Fine" Randhir replied

She came back and asked for her bill

"How much?" She asked manger

"Ma'am you're bill is already paid" Manager informed

"How? Who paid my bill?" Sanyukta inquired

"Him... He paid your bill" Manager pointed towards Randhir

She came to him and stood right in from of him

"Why did you pay my bill?" She frowned

"Why...What's wrong in that?" "You are my guest." "I took you out" Randhir replied

"But...I wanted to have pizza not you and that's why you took me out. So its my bill. Tell how much it is I'll pay you right now" Sanyukta replied

"Are you crazy...No...I'll not take." " You are my guest" "So its my duty.Okay" "Dadasa will scold me if he gets to know this. Okay. So now lets go back" Randhir said and opened the door of car for her.

She got inside and he settled on driver's seat.

She was little upset with him cause he paid her bill but at the bottom of heart she liked his gesture

Soon they reached home

He dropped her to room

"Good night" Sanyukta wished him

"Good Night" Randhir replied

Randhir came back to his room where Lavanya & Sukanya were already waiting for him

*coughs* " So how was your date Bhaisa? Lavanya teased him

"Its wasn't date choti" Randhir replied

"Ahem...Aare batao na Bhaisa...What happened on date?" Sukanya teased him more

While Randhir had a flashback of their hug.

A serene smile appeared on his face remembering their hug.

"Bhaisa..." sisters poked him

"What...?" Randhir blushed a lil

"Bhaisa...she is very beautiful hai na" Lavanya asked him

"Not only beautiful. She is matured. She is cute. Innocent. She is..." Randhir came back to his senses and found his sisters laughing at him

"Stop it...Both Go and sleep now." Randhir said with authority.

"Okay?" Good Night....and Sweet Dreamssss..Bhaisa" girls giggled and left leaving a blushing Randhir

"Princess...." Pradhyuman came to see Sanyukta

"Dadu..." "Come" Pradhyuman settled while Sanyukta rested her head on his lap

"So doll...How is everything?" Did you like this house? Shekhawat family?" Pradhyuman asked her lovingly caressing her hair

"Everything is amazing Dadu. Shekhawat family is really sweet." She replied

"Good....And how about Randhir?" Pradhyuman asked and she looked at him instantly

"Randhir..." and the flashback of their hug came infront of her eyes

"Doll...what happened?" Pradhyuman asked breaking her trance

"Yeah...He is good. He is nice." Sanyukta answered

"Just that?" Pradhyuman asked her more deeply

"I mean he is caring...He is good human being. He is man with morals and ethics. Sorted person. He is amiable." She replied.

"But why are you asking me all this dadu...and" Sanyukta looked at him while Pradhyuman was lost somewhere.

"Dadu what happened? Are you fine?" Sanyukta asked worriedly

"Yes princess...I am fine. Now its quite late. You should sleep" Pradhyuman kissed her forehead and made her sleep properly

"Night Dadu"

"Night princess...sleep well" Pradhyuman left
