Roommates Or Soulmates?❤

Comfort & Intimidation

We go back and sit in our original places like before in the Jeep. I am so happy for Tanya and Vishaad. The cool breeze is feeling so good. Everyone is quite. Everything is quite. Only the sound of the engine can be heard. I wish this road never ends.

The cool breeze is caressing my hair and face. A shiver runs down my spine. Randhir puts his arm around me and pulls me closer casually. Um.. I don't mind. Warmth is radiating off his body. We are not totally close but not too distant as well. Stop overthinking Sanyukta!

"Sanyukta.. hum pahoch gaye" Randhir gently wakes me up. When did I fall asleep? That too on Randhir's shoulder. I look at him still not fully awake and again drop my head on his shoulder. He chuckles. "So tum chahti ho ke mai tumhe uthaa ke le jaau room me" he says and I quickly open my eyes. As always he is smirking.

I get down and congratulate Vishaad and Tanya again and say goodnight to all. Randhir and I walk together to our room.

I wash my face and change into my pj bottoms and t shirt. Randhir is sleeping on my bed.

"Randhir!!!" I shout and shake him. He turns but does not wake up. I hold his hand and pull him. Urgh he is so heavy.

"Thik hai subah ki tarah uthaati hu tumhe" I say and he quickly sits up and drops himself on his bed.

"Kahi bhi so jaao yaar what difference does it make" he says and dozes off. He also has changed. I cover him with the blanket and switch off the light.

"Good night cartoon" I murmer under my breath and soon fall asleep.

"Whattt" we all scream in unison. "Haa do hafto me exam hai notice lag gayi hai and kal se we will have no lectures. Revision ke liye chutti hai" says Jiggy and straightens his specks. We all sigh. We are sitting on our permanent table in the canteen.

Later at night I am writing notes when Randhir comes in with a box. "Kya laaye ho?" I ask him watching the box curiously.

"Ab yaha 3 saal guzaarne hai toh.." he opens the box. It's an induction cooker!

"Aee woww!!" I say and pat Randhir's back. "Bahot kaam aayega" I say.

"Iske liye ek plank lagaa denge waha. Bahar rakha hai laata hu" he says and goes out. Wow.. now I can eat whatever I like anytime. Randhir is so efficient.

He brings the wooden plank with a small box in which the tools are kept. I sit and watch him. He measures it with a scale and removes the saw. "Mai bhi karungi please. I have never done it" I say and sit beside him folding my legs.

"Nahi. Jaao kuch aur kar lo" he says not even bothering to look at me.

"Randhir please naa.. Mai sahi se karungi pakka. Tum toh ho na guide karne k liye" I plead. He keeps the saw down, folds his hands and gives me a stern look. "Pleeeeeaaasseeee" I say and make the best puppy dog face which always works wonders.

"Fine" he says holding his hands up in defence and rolling his eyes. "Dekho yaha maine pencil se mark kiya hai uss line pe kaato". He holds my hand and instructs me.

So now I am holding the saw and his hand is placed on mine and we together start cutting it. Seems easy. "Ab tum chhodo mai karungi"

Firstly he disagrees but convincing him for like the hundredth time that I will not hurt myself he finally agrees. Hassh!

I start cutting it by myself keeping my left hand at a proper distance. I sure don't want to cut it. Damn without Randhir this is hard. And now I can't even tell him ke I am not able to cut it. Izzat ka sawaal hai.

Aur karo ye sab.. achhi khaasi notes banaa rahi thi. I start putting all my energy.

When I look up, Randhir is standing shirtless with his back towards me. He is shuffling through the box trying to find some screws I guess. His jeans are hanging dangerously low and the waist band of his boxers can be seen.

He turns and I see that he holding the pencil between his teeth. His lips -

"Owww ouch" I suddenly scream. I see blood drops on the plank as my finger stings.

Shirtless Randhir is a dangerous sight!
