"So kya bole vo?" Randhir asks.

"Vohi jo sab bol rahe hai. Hume toh pehle se hi pata tha.. ye toh hona hi tha.. vagera vagera" I tell him.

"Daadi bhi na. She is such a wonderful woman"

"Aur ha.. tumhare liye message bhi hai daadi ke taraf se ke agar tumne mujhe hurt kiya toh tumhari chutney banaa di jaayegi'"

"And a dangerous woman" Randhir says with his eyes open wide with horror.

I chuckle. Randhir is dropping me to work from Parth's car. I don't know how but the whole college already knows about us just in one day. Maybe it was because of the tight hug Randhir gave me when we entered the class. The whole day I got a stink eye from the girls in our class. Especially Ishika. Secretly I was doing the happy dance when she was shooting daggers at me.

Suck it bitch. He is mine. Bwahahahaha.. ok jyada ho gaya.

"Sanyukta" Randhir's voice breaks me from my reverie.

"Hmm?"

"Tumne mujhse distance rakhne ke liye ye job join ki. Toh abhi bhi tum karna chahti ho? Mai roz dekhta tha tum bahot thak jaati thi. I don't want you to be so harsh on yourself." He looks at me with concern.

"Randhir, I know you care. But yaha itna kuch hectic nahi hota. And the owners are really good people. Tumhe pata hai na ghar ki condition. Papa ki pension aur insurance se hi ghar chalta hai. I want to do what I can. Mai already daadi ko waha akele chhod ke aayi hu. I'll be ok, I promise." I say and kiss his cheek.

He gives me a smile. "You are such a strong girl. I'm so proud of you. I love you" he says and kisses the back of my hand.

"I love you too. Now let me go. Am getting late" I say and he groans. He gets down and opens the door for me. Such a gentleman.

"When should I come to pick you up?" He asks tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Umm Randhir tum kyu Parth se wapas car ke liye puchoge. I'll come back with Aryan." I tell him and he looks at me with confusion.

"Erm.. vo yaha ke owner ka ladka hai aur mera bahot achha dost hai. Mai roz inhi ke saath khana khaati hu aur Aryan roz drop karta hai mujhe, it's become a routine. Don't worry about me." I assure him but he just frowns.

"Offo ye sarr pe kya lag gaya tumhare" I say referring to his frown He touches his forehead, his frown deepening. I remove his hand and stand on my toes and press my lips between his brows.

His face softens. "Chala gaya" I say and he finally smiles. "Now go" I start pushing him towards the car. "I'll be ok" I say again and he gets inside and starts the ignition. "Seat belt lagaao Randhir" I scold him and he just grins.

"Yes ma'am" he winks and drives off. I shake my head smiling and get inside humming the tune of 'itni si baat hai, mujhe tumse pyar hai'.

I keep my bag and greet Arikta aunty who then leaves the shop. Unlike before, the boutique has now become really famous and is mostly busy. Many of the customers are from our college. I get on to work.

"Koi toh bahot khush lag raha hai" Aryan says as we sit on the dining table. I just smile at him and he looks at me with amusement.

"Wow Sanyukta! Do din mujhse mili nahi toh itni chamak rahi ho? Ohh.. now I get it. Finally do din baad mujhe dekh ke itni khush ho na?" He asks teasing me.

"You wish Aryan" I say taking a bite of the roti.

"Ok seriously now. What's up with you?" he asks.
