Blind Faith

Chapter 13

Kishor Agarwal was reading a book when Sanyukta entered at the house. Kishor look up and smiled at her.

"Aare beta aah gayi! Kaisa raha match? Koyn jeeta Parth yeah Randhir?" Kishor asked curiously.

"Parth jeeta papa." She replied slowly.

"Aachha tab toh aap bahut khush hongi, aapka dost jo jeet geya." Kishor ji said happily when Sanyukta came near to him and kneeled down in front of him and kept her head on Kishor's lap. Kishor ji became confused.

"Keya huya beta? Padeshan laag rahe ho!" Kishor ji asked being worried when Sanyukta kept mum.

"Hmm toh iss baar keya galati kiya hain aapne? Kyu ki tum tabhi mere god mein saad rakh kar chup chap soti ho jab tum koi galti karti ho." Kishor ji asked caressing Sanyukta's hairs thus Sanyukta closed her eyes.

"Papa aaj wo Randhir na mere wajase out ho geya aur uski team vi haar gayi, meri wajase." She said slowly when Kishor ji became confused.

"Tumhari wajase! Lekin kaise?" He asked confusingly when Sanyukta told him everything.

"I'm sorry papa." She said slowly.

"Beta aapko sorry mujhse nehi kisi aur se bolna chahiye." Kishor ji said thus Sanyukta looked at him.

"But papa phir Randhir bahut gussa karega." She said hesitatingly.

"Toh phir sahe lena thoda sa gussa. Waise vi galti toh tumhari hi hain na." Kishor ji said.

"But papa usne vi toh mere saath galat kiya, mujhe Vardhan sir ne suspend kiya sirf aur sirf uski wajase!" She frowned.

"Toh phir tumne uss baat ka badla liya Randhir se? Toh phir keya pharak rehe geya tum dono mein?" Kishor ji asked thus Sanyukta kept mum.

'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.'

"Tumne yeh toh suna hi hoga? Aab tum khud samajhder ho beta." Kishor ji said thus Sanyukta nodded positively.

"Ji papa." She replied and left for her room.

Later when Sanyukta called Misha she informed her that Randhir locked himself in his room and didn't talk to anyone. He even skipped his meal too. Thus increasing Sanyukta's guilt and she decided to apologize to Randhir.

Next morning Sanyukta get up a little late as she unable to sleep the whole night. She checked the time and sat up on the bed with a jolt.

"Shit Sanyu aaj toh marr gayi tu, itna late! Papa ne vi mujhe nehi uthaya!" She get up from the bed and rushed towards the washroom.

She came out after taking the bath and get ready quickly for the college. After getting ready she was looking for her father but didn't found him anywhere.

"Shayed aaj papa ki first hour mein class hain." She said to herself. "Ohh no that means scooter nehi bus se jana padega! Bhag Sanyu." She murmured and left for college next.

Sanyukta entered at the college slowly as she was nervous.

"Randhir iss waqt kaha ho sakta hain! Canteen mein hoga toh puri gang ke saath hoga. But sabke samne sorry kaise bolu?" She said thoughtfully. "Haan jab aakela hoga tab sorry bolungi." She said to herself just then she saw Kaustaki came from the front.

"Aare Sanyu kaha thi, class miss kar diya tune aaj?" Kaustaki asked surprisingly.

"Haan wo aankh nehi khuli. Aachha tu yeh baata ke Misha kaha hain, dikh nehi rahi?" Sanyukta asked looking around.
