Next day Sanyukta packed two lunch boxes.
One for Randhir and one for her.
"Come on Sanyu...its 7:30 we have to leave now" He said on finding Sanyukta searching for something in dressing table
"Just 5 minutes Randhir..." she replied
"What are you searching for Sanyukta?" He said
"Randhir humari sindoor ki dibbi nahi mil rahi..." She said
"Let it be na...ghar aake dundh lena...aabhi chalo come lets go..." He said
"Aare kal bhi hum jaldi jaldi main bhul gaye the sindoor lagana...pata nahi kaha rakh di..." She said.
He went to her and grabbed her forearm to turn her.
"I don't have any problem aagar tum sindoor lagati ho ya nahi..." "And we are in Mumbai not Jaipur jaha pe tumhe yeh sab follow karne ki zarurat nahi ..." He said
"Randhir...par..."
"Nahi mil rahi toh aate wakt provision store se kharid lena...now lets get going..." He said
"Thik hai...." She said.
He dropped her to the college.
"Bye take care...will call you in lunch break" He said
"Bye...you too take care..." She said
"Sanyukta Ma'am....bank personnel is waiting for you in staff room to open you salary account in bank" "Please can you liaise with him" The lady informed
"Sure..." Sanyukta replied.
Sanyukta completed all the formalities.
The bank personnel handed her an envelope consisting ATM debit card,credit card,passbook, chequebook and some information documents.
Sanyukta's happiness was on top.
Her first bank account.
She was very excited.
She has a lecture in third year classroom.
She was explaining some concept on board when someone threw paper ball in her direction.
The ball touched the blackboard and fell down.
Sanyukta knew who it can be.
She ignored Aryan royally.
Students were noting down points dictated by Sanyukta.
Aryan was busy cracking jokes among his gang.
Class was getting disturbed by his nuisance.
"Aryan...and his gang..." "Out of the class now..." Sanyukta ordered.
Aryan didn't pay heed to her words.
"Out I said..." She shouted.
"No one can get me out of the class Ms. Sanyukta..." Aryan said
"If you don't get out of the class Aryan...I will put you absence for this entire week"
"So if you want attendance and not want to come into low attendance list...get out now..." She said
"Don't waste my and everyone's time Aryan" "Out now..." She said.
Other students started requesting him to follow Sanyukta's orders.
Aryan stood up and left the class. Sanyukta resumed teaching.
Soon it was lunch break.
Aryan blocked Sanyukta's way.
"You...Ms. Sanyukta...thik nahi kiya tumne" Aryan said
"Aryan, if you really want to study and attend lectures then only come to my class" "Please...don't disturb other students" Sanyukta said
"Ms. Sanyukta...no one has dared to throw me out of the class"
"You did it...and now you are in big trouble" Aryan said.
Sanyukta ignore him and turned to go.
Aryan felt insulted again.
He kept looking at her retiring figure. He was shamelessly gawking Sanyukta with wrong intentions.
"Hmm...had lunch" She asked
"Yes...just aabhi hi kiya...aur tumne?" Randhir asked
"Humne bhi kar liya...aage ke lectures free hai aab" Sanyukta said
"Great...you got time to prepare notes for next class" Randhir said
"Yes..." "Ghar pe toh shayad mil nahi paye...socha yahi complete kar de..." Sanyukta said
"Good..." "Chalo then...see you in evening.." He said
"Yes...bye take care" She said
"You too bye..." She said.
Sanyukta got free at 3.
She walked till the bus stop.
"Ma'am...Ma'am..." a girl came shouting from behind.
Sanyukta turned back.
"Hello Ma'am..." The girl huffed
"Hello Piyali...what happened?" "Kuch kaam tha?" She said
"Ma'am...do you board 3:20 wali bus?" Piyali asked
"Yes..." Sanyukta said
"Me too Ma'am..." "I saw you coming towards bus stop" "Socha muje aapki company mil jayegi" Piyali said
"That's great...come..." Sanyukta said
Both boarded the bus.
"Ma'am...which bus you board in morning" "This bus comes at 7:45..." She said
"No in morning I don't travel in bus" "My husband drop me..." Sanyukta said
"Ma'am...are you married?" Piyali asked
"Yes..." Sanyukta replied with smiled
"Ma'am please don't mind...but aapko dekh ke lagta nahi aapki shaadi ho chuki hai"
"In fact first time I saw you...I thought you are a student" Piyali said
"I know...not only you in fact most of them thought I am new student" Sanyukta chuckled
"You are from Mumbai?" Piyali said
"No....we...I mean my husband and I we both are from Jaipur"
"I came to Mumbai 5 months back..." "I shifted here after marriage" Sanyukta said
"Wow...so do you like Mumbai?" Piyali asked
"Yes...of course....yeh shehar toh jaise marathon bhaag raha hai aaisa lagta hai" Sanyukta said
"True..." Piyali said
"Ma'am stop aagaya...chaliye..." Piyali said.
Both the ladies got out of the bus.
"Ma'am...come I will drop you home on my vehicle" Piyali said
"No ...please Piyali....I will manage...thanks" Sanyukta said
"Ma'am...you stay in East na...I also stay in east...come I'll drop you" "In fact its on my way..." Piyali requested.
"Hmmmm...okay..." Sanyukta sat behind her on scotty.
Piyali dropped Sanyukta at the main gate of building "Thank you so much Piyal..." Sanyukta said
"You are welcome.." "Ma'am hum aab roz saath main ghar aaya karenge" Piyali said
"Sure...hume bhi company mil jayegi..." She said
"Bye..." Sanyukta chirped.
Piyali was gone.
Sanyukta dialed Randhir's number.
"Hum ghar pohoch gaye..." Sanyukta said
"Good yaar...koi problem toh nahi hui bus dundhne main..." Randhir said
"Nahi..." "In fact hume ghar tak company mil gayi"
"Humari ek student hai Piyali...woh bhi ussi bus se travel karti hai..." "
Aur usne hume ghar tak drop bhi kiya uske vehicle pe..." Sanyukta said
"That's great yaar...chalo...so you'll not be alone" He said
"Hmm...aap kab tak ghar aarahe ho" She asked
"Kaho toh aabhi aajau..." He said
"No need...kaam khatam kijiye...phir aayiyie" She giggled
"Thik hai..." "Chalo...see you in evening...bye" He said
"Bye..." She said.
Sanyukta got freshen up.
She prepared dinner quickly and was waiting for Randhir.
She kept milk on gas for boiling.
In next just then the door bell rang.
Timing. :P
She opened the door.
"Hey...." Randhir step inside and hugged her.
"How was your day?" She asked hugging him back.
"Good...and yours?" He asked breaking the hug
"Very Very Very good...hume aapko kuch dikhana hai" She ran inside.
Randhir went to kitchen and fetched some water.
Sanyukta came to him.
"Randhir...Randhir Randhir...." "Yeh dekhiye..." "Humara ATM card..." "College walo ne bank account khulvaya aaj..." She said.
Randhir could see happiness reflecting in her eyes.
"Congratulations Mrs. Shekhawat" Randhir said
"Thank you Mr. Shekhawat" She hugged him in happiness.
He hugged her back.
"aare....humne dudh rakha hai gas pe..." She broke the hug and turn of the gas.
She made coffee for them.
Sometime later.
"How is everything Sanyukta?" "College,collegues,staff and all" Randhir asked laying next to her on bed.
"Everything is good Randhir" "I haven't interacted with all yet" "Only few...but they are warm and welcoming"
"Aur pata hai Randhir..."
"Sab students ko college main pehle yeh laga ki hum khud ek student hai" She laughed
"Phir jab humne first lecture liya tab pata chala hum faculty hai student nahi" She said
"Really?" "Sab shock hogaye honge..." Randhir said
"haan..." She giggled.
Thou it was a joke but Randhir felt a little insecurity in his heart.
She is young and beautiful and it's true she doesn't look like married. Everyone will think she is student and they are right on her part.
Randhir was very happy for her.
He loved listening to her college stories.
But he was bit insecure because he cares for her a lot.
HE IS POSITIVELY POSSESSIVE FOR HER.
He wishes her happiness and safety and wants to protect her from all the evils.
His love for her is beyond anything.
