What! Did I hear correctly? I am sure my jaw has touched the floor. "Daadi?? Ye dawaai jo aapne li usme excess drugs toh nahi the na? Kya kuch bhi? Mai.. Randhir... Huh?"

Daadi chuckles. "Dekho mujhe toh nahi lagta tum kisi ladke se baat bhi ki ho, friendship toh dur ki baat hai. Aur ye tumhara roommate hai, toh ek ladke se room share kar ke ya toh tum uss ladke se nafrat karogi ya.. usko pasand karogi. Nafrat toh tum usse karti nahi. Tum uspe trust bhi bahot karti ho, ye samjhaane ki jarurat nahi mujhe. Vo jab nurse aur Diksha usse chipak rahi thi.. khud ka chehra dekhna chahiye tha tab... Jaise dimaag me unko 100 thappad maar rahi ho. Aur ye jo tumne jacket pehna hai vo bhi ussi ka hai na? Sanyu bachhi.. Teri daadi hu mai.. sab samajhti hu. Aise maamlo me toh jyada samajhti hu".

I go numb. I just stare at her. Do people really think about me and Randhir like this? Tanya had also asked.. but she sees us everyday and we exchange small looks around the table and everyone knows we are super comfortable together. But Daadi just said it in an hour after watching us together. Is it that obvious? Yes I was angry seeing the other girls but.. I don't know. Was I just angry or was I jealous? I do trust him and well he is good looking and his abs are just wow. And his lips.. Stop stop stop!!!

"Daadi aisa kuch bhi nahi hai" I say still lost at her words. My words sounds unsure to my own ears. Like I'm convincing myself and not her.

"Thik hai thik hai.. but mujhe sabse pehle batana ha.. mujhe toh pasand aaya Randhir"

"Daaadiii.." I whine so that she stops.

Just then Randhir comes with the soup. I look away quickly. Thanks daadi! Now all this has really become awkward. Did she have to say all this. I am feeling.. feeling something.. even while looking at him.

Daadi and Randhir are laughing over some joke Randhir cracked but I am not paying attention. I am just processing all the words daadi said. And this hoodie! How did I forget that I was wearing his hoodie the whole time. I felt comfortable in it by the way. I liked it.

Oh it's just a hoodie for god's sake.

I can just buy a new one like his for me. I remove it and give it to Randhir. "Thanks" I say. Daadi is smiling smugly. He gives me a confusing look but takes it without saying anything because he is too involved in his conversation with daadi.

After a while daadi throws a bomb. Again. "Tum dono please ghar jaao. 2 din se yaha ho. Kal subah fresh ho ke wapas aa jaana. Sanyu, Randhir idhar tak aaya aur tu usse apna ghar bhi nahi dikhayegi"

"Nahi daadi. Ab toh aapko lekar hi ghar jaayenge" says Randhir. I nod. Why is he so good with everyone.

"Abhi toh so hi jaaungi mai toh ruk ke faayda nahi.. kal subah wapas aana hi hai. Tum dono ko yaha pareshaan hota dekh mai chain se nahi so paaungi." I and Randhir look at each other not sure what to say. "Please" daadi says again.

"But daadi aapko kuch bhi chahiye.."

"Ha ha pata hai. Ab jaao mujhe sone do" she lies down and closes her eyes with a smile touching her lips. Randhir instructs the nurse to take special care of her. He really does care. Before leaving I go and kiss daadi's forehead.

We go to the parking lot and he starts his bike. I didn't notice the last time but his bike is.. amazing. I don't know much about bikes but I can say that this one is really cool. Harley Davidson it is! I heard it's really expensive.

"Cool bike" I say while sitting. He looks back and grins.

"Isn't it. She is my pride" he says and we start heading home. I roll my eyes. Is it something in their blood? Vidushi is also crazy for bikes. I tell him the directions. My hand is placed on his shoulders and he is riding at a really slow pace compared to the last time. We finally reach home.
