Hello!

"Maggie? "

"Checked"

"Ketchup? "

"Checked"

"Coke bottles and fanta bottles? "

"Checked"

"Popcorn? "

"Checked"

"Other snacks? "

"Checked Bro!"

"Great job guys!" Randhir exclaimed happily after they put the things on platform of kitchen.

"Um, this is all that you got? " Sanyukta asked hesitatingly and the guys nodded proudly.

"And what about basic things like wheat, rice, pulses, salt, spices, coffee, etc?" She asked and the guys exchanged looks before scratching their naps.

"Stupidity? " Sanyukta asked crossing her arms.

"Checked" All the three guys mumbled at the same time looking down, while Sanyukta busted into laughter.

" I knew it! And this is why I have already ordered everything. Happy ji must be here anytime. " She told them shrugging and walking out of the kitchen, while the three followed.

"Happy? Us gadhe se kyu mangwaya? " Randhir asked narrowing his eyes.

"Kyunki aap gadho pe hmee pura bharosa tha ki agar hm aapko btate bhi to bhi aap glt saman laate. " She told him and he rolled his eyes.

"Hm sahi saman le aate, uss Happy ko bulane ki koi zaroorat ni thi. Tum janti hi kitna ho use? " Randhir asked getting annoyed.

"Utna hi jitna hm aapko jante hain. Teen hafton se, aur vo vaise bhi ghar aa hi rhe the kuch inspection ke liye, to hmne saamaan bhi mngwa liya. " She told him sitting on the couch of the living room.

"Mujhe vo bnda pasand ni h. " Randhir showed his disapproval after sitting on the couch beside her.

"Hme bhi. " Karan Arjun replied sitting on the opposite couches.

"Pr hme to sahi samaan lane wale log kaafi pasand h. " She told them smiling sweetly before taking her book.

"Mai bhi to kal tumhara sahi samaan laya tha na. " Randhir complained like a kid.

" Haan haan lae toh the, magar sahi saman 3rd attempt mei. Hmne ek nail paint mngwaya tha, shade, brand sb btaya tha fir bhi third time mei sahi la pae aap. " She reminded him faking a smile.

"Haan toh itne saare mei mujhe jo bhi sb achha lga mai le aaya, aur vo saare bhi achhe the. " He reasoned.

"Haan Randhir vo bahut achhi thi, bas ek problem thi ki vo 25 ki 25 ek hi shade ki thi, aur vo shade hme ni chahiye tha. " She told him nodding and he looked away like a kid.

"Mujhe sunder lgi mai le aaya pr tumhe uss Happy se ni mngwana chahiye tha. " He said stubbornly.

"Aree unne pucha ki vo aa re h hme kuch chahiye to bta dein, to hmne bta diya. Isme itni kya bdi baat ho gyi? Aur hmne sbke liye mngwaya h, aapke bhi to kaam aaega. " She tried to make him understand.

"I don't care, ab se yaad rkho tumhe kuch bhi chahiye, tum mujhe bologi aur kisi ko ni, especially us gadhe ko to bilkul bhi ni. Kitni line marta h vo tumpe aur aise saaman mngwa ke tum use line de ri ho, bhale hi tum ni dena chahti pr use to yahi lgega na. " He told her and she rolled her eyes.

"Line to aap bhi marte hain." Sanyukta crossed her arms.

"Mai line ni marta mai pyaa— rehne do. Usse kuch mt mngwana dobara, please aur agar aap mujhe usse compare ni krengi to mujhe achha lgega. " Randhir said seriously before heading towards his room, leaving Sanyukta dumbstruck.

"Bro is hurt. " Arjun mumbled and Sanyukta looked at him.

"Really hurt. " Karan added and they both too got up before heading towards their room, leaving Sanyukta alone in the living area.

"Pr hmne kiya kya h? " Sanyukta was confused at this sudden behavior and decided to ask Randhir himself but before she could do that, the bell rung, indicating that Happy was here.

She went to the door and opened the door but before Happy could hug Sanyukta, she was pulled aside by someone and instead, Happy hugged a pissed Randhir.

"Welcome. Not! " Randhir said through gritted teeth and faked a smile.

"Hello ji! " Happy replied with embarrassment.

"Sanyukta ji, hi hai twanu bhi." Happy greeted with a big smile.

"Aap hmara saaman lae? " Sanyukta asked directly.

"Haan ji aisa ho skta h ki aap kuch kahe aur mai na kru? " Happy replied cheekily and two guys walked behind him with the groceries.

"Idhar rkh do. " Happy instructed them and they kept the groceries.

"Let me check. " Sanyukta said walking towards the groceries and checked everything one by one.

"Perfect. Thank you Happy ji. " She thanked him with a small smile.

"Ooji thank you ki to load hi ni h, aap khush to hm bhi khush." Happy said grinning.

"Haan aur vaise bhi ek bhai ki khushi apni behen ki khushi mei hi to hoti h. " Randhir added smiling sweetly causing Happy to look at him with wide eyes.

"Ooji kya bol re hai aap, kaun bhai kiska bhai? Mai inka bhai ni hu aur na ye meri behen. " Happy denied immediately.

"Achha to fir kya h? Tum inhe behen ki nazaro se ni dekhte to fir kin nazron se dekhte ho? " Randhir asked raising his eyebrows and Happy looked at Sanyukta to find her mirroring Randhir's expressions.

"Umm vo, dost. Dost ki nazaron se. " Happy tried to cover up.

"Pr hm aapke dost ni h. " Sanyukta corrected causing Randhir to smirk.

"Ab btao? Kis nazaron se dekhte ho tum ise. " Randhir upped his sleeves and took a step towards Happy, raising his eyebrows while Happy looked around for an escape.

"Aree mai to dost hi smjhta tha, khair ye sb rkh diya mai chlta hoon. " Happy said taking a step back.

"Pr aapko to koi inspection bhi krna tha na?" Sanyukta asked in confusion.

"Aree vo to uncle ji bhi aake kr lenge, ni Happy ji? Inko kaam hoga, aap jaiye." Randhir answered and rested his arm on Sanyukta's shoulder.

"Haanji kaam h. " Happy replied, looking at Randhir's death stares.

"Okay Happy ji, bye aur aage se koi bhi kaam ho to takleef na le, mujhe bta de ya aapke papa mummy ko smbhalne dein, yaha aane ki zaroorat ni h. " Randhir faked a smile before waving at him.

Happy left, bitterly and Randhir closed the door behind him.

"Yeh sb kya tha?" Sanyukta asked crossing her arms.

"Tum mujhse puch ri ho? Abhi bhi ni smjhi? " Randhir asked in disbelief and Sanyukta gave him a look.

"Kya smjhna h? " Sanyukta asked in annoyance.

"Aree, dekha ni tumne kaise jhapta tumpe vo hug krne, vo to mai aa gya bich mei ni to chipak hi jata, maine bataya na line marta h tumpe vo. " Randhir explained causing her to roll her eyes.

She sighed, before giving Randhir a quick hug.

"Ab aap kahenge bhi hm aap pe jhapat rhe hain ya chipak rhe hain? Ye friendly hug hoti h Randhir, ek friendly gesture. " Sanyukta tried to make him understand.

"Ni Sanyukta, you are not understanding. Vo saala like krta h tumhe aur tumhe impress krne ki koshish kr ra h." Randhir told her furiously.

"Aur aap kya kr rhe hain? " Sanyukta asked crossing her arms.

"Use rokne ki koshish. "

"Kyun?"

"Kyuki mai ni chahta tum usse impress ho. "

"Thanks Captain Obvious but aap aisa kyu ni chahte? "

"Kyunki mai tumse pyaa—" Randhir stopped before he could utter everything.

"Aap hmse kya? Ye doosri baar h jo aap atke h. Kya kehna chah re h bol dijiye na. Hua kya hai aapko? Aap hmse kya? " Sanyukta asked holding his arms.

"Rehne do, tum ni smjhogi. " Randhir told her looking away.

"Hm Kuch Kuch Hota Hai ki Anjali h? " Sanyukta asked with a straight face.

"Kya? " Randhir asked, confused.

"Btaiye?"

"Of course not. " Randhir replied awkwardly.

"Toh fir hm kyu ni smjhenge? Aur inn 3 hafton mei aapne hme apne sath itna comfortable kr liya hai ki sb kuch smjhenge, aap boliye to. " Sanyukta insisted and he closed his eyes.

"Tum mujhe chhod ke chli jaogi." Randhir mumbled.

"Kya? Bolna kya chahte hain aap? Hm kahan jaenge? Aur kyu? "Sanyukta asked in confusion.

" Pehle promise kro ki ni jaogi aur puri baat sunogi. " Randhir asked and Sanyukta sighed.

"Aap aisa kya bolne wale hain? Dekhiye aap hme dara rhe hain. " Sanyukta asked and he looked down.

"Bharosa kr lo, please." Randhir pleaded with teary eyes.

Sanyukta thought for a while before nodding slowly.

"Promise. " She promised and Randhir took her in a hug.

"I know tum mujhe galat smjhogi, pr please meri puri baat sun lena Sanyukta, mai tumhe kbhi hurt ni krna chahta tha pr mere pass koi option hi ni tha, aur ye sb mai aise ni btane wala tha pr ab bas, aur acting ni kr skta mai. " Randhir mumbled scaring Sanyukta.

After that nightmare incident, Sanyukta had begun to admire Randhir and in these three weeks, she had grown really close to him as a friend and now his words were scaring her to no extent.

"Randhir aap hme bht jyada dara rhe hain ab, please btaiye. " Sanyukta insisted,  getting scared.

"Vo tumhari shaadi..." He was fumbling with his words and Sanyukta froze at the mention.

"Hmari shaadi se aapko kya mtlb h?" Sanyukta pushed him away and looked at him with fear.

"Vo tum mai vo.. " He was constantly looking down.

"Boliye Randhir. " Sanyukta yelled.

"Ek baar dekh to leti ki kisse shadi krne ja ri ho. " He mumbled and looked at her.

"Aapko isse mtlb hai, aap kehna kya chahte hain? " She yelled again getting really scared.

"Tumhara dulha mai tha. " His words made her eyes widen and she froze on her spot.

"Tumhari shadi mujhse hui h. "
