"Kya zarurat thi Randhir?" "Aapne Dadiji se ladhai kyu ki?" She said

"Baitho...Sanyukta...we are getting late"

Randhir kick started his bike.

They reach college.

"All the best Sanyukta" "Just forget everything...and enjoy" "Live your dream..." He said

She hugged him.

"Thank you..." She whispered

"Take care..." He said

"Aap bhi..." She said

Sanyukta entered inside.

Students were looking at her...not looking but staring at her.

She got uncomfortable.

"New girl in the college" "Cool" one girl commented looking at her.

"May be..." "But look at her..." "I mean...who wears such clothes nowadays" "Typical behenji types..." The other girl commented

Sanyukta heard their conversation but choose to ignore it.

Guys were staring at her.

Some want to try their luck on her.

Some teased her,passed comments on her but some genuine one choose to ingore.

Sanyukta ignore everything.

She went to the principle's office to get her appointment letter.

Soon it was time for lecture to start.

Sanyukta's first lecture in third year classroom.

She stepped inside and everyone was shock to know that she is not a student but faculty.

All those who made fun of her were in deep shock to know.

"Dude she looks so young...how come she is faculty" one of the boys commented.

"She is HOT...." the other one said

"Aryan...dude...chuck it" "She is faculty" The guy said

"So?" "Come on man...look at her..." "Kisi student se kaam nahi lagti..." "Look at her figure...she is HOT" Aryan commented shamelessly

"Good Morning class..."

"My name is Sanyukta Shekhawat..."

"I know you all must be thinking...how come I am your faculty...but YES I AM YOUR ECONOMICS FACULTY"

Sanyukta introduce herself.

"As its my first class...I don't want to bore you guys..." "Lets have a fun session today..." "Can I have introduction of you all" She said

Students started introducing themselves.

Now it's time for Aryan to introduce himself.

"Aryan..."

"Aryan Harshwal..."

"Son of trustee of this college" "I am in this college since last 5 years..." Aryan said in attitude.

"How many times you failed Aryan...and in which year?" Sanyukta mocked him

Everyone started laughing on Aryan.

Aryan got angry with the humiliation.

"Okay...no worries Mr Aryan...I'll make sure your this is your last year in the college..." "Will make sure...you don't make second hatrick...this time" "Am I right?" Sanyukta said

Aryan was insulted badly.

"Tell us something about yourself....Ma'am" a girl asked

"Firstly don't call me Ma'am..." "Call me Sanyukta" "I am fine with it..."

"I am not much elder than you guys..." "I don't want to be a strict faculty for you all..." Sanyukta said

Soon the lecture got over.

Sanyukta was very happy.

Her first lecture. And it was successful.

She quickly dialed Randhir's number.

"Randhir..." She jumped in excitement.

"Hey...howz it going Sanyu...?" Randhir said

"It's amazing Randhir...humara first lecture hua..." "I am so happy..." "Aaj toh humne kuch padhaya nahi...just an introductory session par bohot maza aaya..." She said

Randhir could feel her happiness.

"I am happy for you Sanyukta..." He said

"Aapne ghar pe phone kiya...?" She asked him

"Hmm...Papa se baat hui..." Randhir said

"Dadaji thik hai..." She asked

"Nahi...bohot gusse main hai...but don't worry..." "You just focus there..." "Everything will be fine..." He said

"I hope sab jaldi thik ho" She said

"Hoga...now..go and prepare for your next lecture" He said

"Ha...hum aapko lunch main call karenge" She said

"Thik hai...bye..." He said

"Bye..." She said

- - - - -

Sanyukta turned around and found Aryan standing behind her.

"Yes" she said crossing her hands

"Ma'am...I mean...Sanyukta..." "You are very much worried for my existence in this college" "But...I doubt of your tenure in this college" "As I said...my father is trustee of this college...so I have got the power" "You have insulted me in front of whole class..." "You have insulted...THE ARYAN HARSHWAL...in front of whole class" "I'll make sure...you will pay for it" He said

"Done...." She said and turned to go.

Aryan found it insulting.

Sanyukta straightaway went to staff room.

She started preparing for next lecture.

It was 12:30 PM.

Sanyukta recieved a call from Randhir.

"Bahar aao" He said

"Randhir aap..." "Aap kaha ho?" She asked

"College ke main gate ke bahar..." "Come out fast" He said

"Thik hai..." she said

She reached and found Randhir waiting for her.

"Randhir...what are you doing here" She asked

"Here to take you out for lunch" He said

"Lunch...?" She repeated

"We both don't have lunch box today..so socha...saath main lunch karte hai" He said

She smiled.

"There is a famous food outlet here...lets go" "Kafi dur nahi hai..." He said

She sat behind him.

They reached the food outlet.

Randhir ordered dosa for them.

They had a joyful lunch.

"Chalo I'll drop you back to the college" "Phir tumhe 3 baaje lene aaunga" He said

"Aur aapka office..." She said

"Maine half day liya hai..." "So basically I have to somehow kill these two hours" "We will go back together" He said

"And what will you do in this two hours?" "Randhir...come to my college...and wait in lounge" "Dhoop main ghumne ki zarurat nahi" She said

"Aare...I have work.." "Bank jana hai...aur tumhare liye bus ki inquiry bhi kar lunga" He said

"Now come on...you'll get late..." He said

He dropped her back to college.

"Come soon..." he said

"Yes..." she said and got inside.

Sanyukta had lecture schedule in first year now.

The class was decent.

Of course...its first year students class.

Sanyukta did a introductory session with them.

Meanwhile Randhir visited bank for his work.

While coming he inquired about bus.

Sanyukta will travel in bus while coming home back at 3.

The clock struck 3.

College overs got over.

As expected Randhir was waiting for Sanyukta at the gate.

"So...how was your first day at college?" He said

"Amazing..." She sat behind him on bike.

He kicked started the bike.

The bike stopped at a bus stop which was hardly five minutes away from college.

"Sanyukta...yaha se tumhe 3:20 ki bus mil jayegi" "You will reach home by 4-4:15 everyday" "Bus stop is bit far from our house...you can go for auto.." "Hardly it will take 20-30 rupees" He said

"Thank you Randhir..." She hugged him from back

Soon they reached home.

All were waiting for them to return.

Renuka,Harsh and Dadi had packed their bags are were returning to Jaipur by evening train.

"Mummyji...Dadi...aab sab kaha ja rahe hai" Sanyukta said

"Jaipur vapas ja rahe hai" Renuka said in disappointment

"Please...please...mat jaiye..." "Please rukiye..." Sanyukta requested everyone.

"Papa...please...aap samjayiye Dadi ko" Randhir said

"Main sab kar chuka hu Randhir..." Harsh said in disappointment.

"Dadiji please...aaisa mat jaiye humse naraaz hoke" Sanyukta requested Dadi by joining hands

"Tumne kaam hi aaisa kiya hai Bahu..." Dadi said

"Please Dadiji...aapko naraz nahi karna chahte hai hum" Sanyukta said

"Humare ghar ki bahu aaj tak ghar ke bahar kadam nahi rakha hai" "Paise kaamne ke liye toh bilkul nahi..." "Tumne aaj bohot sharminda kiya hai muje Sanyukta" "Tum humari pehli pasand thi Randhir ke liye..." "Par aaj afsoos hota hai" Dadi said

Sanyukta started crying badly.

"Jaane do unhe Sanyukta..." Randhir spoke

Dadi got angry on him.

"Kash aaj Dadu zinda hote...toh woh bhi yahi chahte" Randhir said

"Aap jaana chahte ho...jao...par Sanyukta aapna decision change nahi karegi" "Na main usse karne dunga" Randhir said

"Dadiji...please..." Sanyukta requested her again.

"Hum nahi chahte humari wajah se koi naraaz ho" "Koi dukhi ho..." "Aap jo chahte ho wahi hoga par aap please aaise humse naraaz hoke mat jaiye..." Sanyukta said

"Jaane do unhe Sanyukta..." Randhir said

"Hum yeh job chod denge...par aap please naraaz hoke aaise vapas mat jaiye..." Sanyukta said

"Bas Sanyukta..." Renuka said

"Koi zarurat nahi inke samne request karne ki...kyuki yeh kabhi nahi samjengi" "Inke liye ek aurat bas ghar sambhal aur baache paida karne ke liye hoti hai" "inhe bahu toh padhi likhi chaiye...logo ko dikhane ke liye" "Par wahi bahu aagar aagar ghar ke bahar jaye...naukri kare...do paise aapne liye...kamaye...toh inse bardast nahi hota" "Sanyukta...tum aapni job nahi chodogi" "Main tumhare saath hu..." Renuka said

"Kash main Renuka ke liye kar pata jo Randhir ne Sanyukta ke liye kiya" Harsh said looking at his mother.

The situation had became tense.

There was silence prevailing in the room.

Randhir dashed into their bedroom.

Renuka and Sanyukta came to kitchen.

Sanyukta was crying bitterly.

"I don't want to hurt anyone" Sanyukta said

"You haven't done anything Sanyukta" "You have not hurt anyone" "In fact you have made us proud" "I know you are capable enough to handle work and house together" "I really want you to continue job and fulfil your wish" "You are very lucky beta..."

"Just stop crying" "Maaji will be get fine soon" Renuka said

Sanyukta packed dinner for the them.

It was 6:30PM.

Time for them to leave.

Sanyukta and Randhir took blessing from Harsh and Renuka.

Sanyukta covered her head with dupata and touched Dadi's feet.

Dadi step backwards and turned her face to other side.

Sanyukta felt bad.

Randhir had booked cab for them to drop to station.

He went to drop them to station.

Soon they left.

Sanyukta was alone at home for sometime.

She felt terrible.

Her intention was not to hurt anyone.

Randhir came back after dropping them in sometime.

He found sanyukta lost and disturbed.

She was mindlessly standing near gas and her corner of her dupatta was actually going to catch fire.

Randhir ran to her rescue.

"Sanyukta...dhyaan kaha hai tumhara"

He pulled her back and turn off the gas.

"Kya kar rahi ho tum?" "Dikha nahi deta tumhe..." He shouted

"Woh...." "Hum..."

She didn't know what to say.

"What happened to you?" "Can't you see this..." "Your dupatta would have caught fire..." He said

"Sorry..." She mumbled and looked down

Her eyes were moist.

Randhir took her into his arms.

She hugged him back.

"I don't want to hurt anyone Randhir" She said

"You are not hurting anyone Sanyukta..." "Please yeh sab dimag se nikal do" "Dadi aabhi gusse main but soon she will be fine" "Trust me..." He said

"Unhone humse baat tak nahi ki..." She said

"Let the time pass Sanyukta..." "Everything will be fine" "Dadi bohot din tak gussa nahi rahegi..."

"She will soon accept it soon" He said kissing her head.
