Bittersweet love

Love...its painful

Where the hell is Randhir??? Its been quite a long time since the party started.
Sanyukta went to Yoyo and put forth the very same question for the umpteenth time. She enquired whether he really informed Randhir about the party arrangements or not. He again replied the same thing which he had been telling since 2 hours.

Yoyo informed Sanyukta that he tried contacting Randhir but he didn't attend the call. So he sent a message stating that they all have a party to attend. He also added that he got a reply from Randhir that he would try to come.

"So that means...he will surely come!" she thought and smiled. She decided to wait till he comes. She hadn't eaten anything from morning as she was so busy with the preparations. She was hell hungry but she wanted to eat with Randhir. Ooh yeah... In her words, she wanted to give him company.

All were extremely exhausted after dancing, jumping and playing the whole night. They gathered to have dinner prepared by Sanyukta.

"Sanyu... Come, let's eat. You refused to enjoy with us. Atleast eat with us na??" Vidushi said.

"No no vidushi... You people eat. I'll serve the food. Okay??" she said and successfully avoided their requests. They all enjoyed the delicious food and kept praising Sanyukta and licking their fingers. She smiled inwardly and remembered how Randhir was licking his fingers when she cooked in the village.

Soon they decided to retire to their rooms as they were hell tired of dancing their asses off. Sanyukta wanted to stay back till Randhir comes back.

"What if he comes late? What if he's hungry?? What if he thinks that there is no food left and sleeps without eating?? What if he has planned something big to patch up with me?? Umm... Patch up with me as a friend" Like this, her *What if's* continued without an end. Her belly made weird sounds asking her to show some mercy on her digestive system also. But she was too stubborn.

It was almost midnight when Randhir returned to his room where he saw Parth texting someone and smiling to himself. Randhir stepped in and settled on his bed before grabbing a water bottle beside him and gulping it in a jiffy. Only he knew how much he was starving.

"Hi Randhir!" Parth grinned.

"Hi!" Randhir replied awkwardly

"So how was the dinner??" Parth queried teasingly.

"What dinner??" Randhir looked confused.

"Randhir... Don't tell me that you didn't go to the canteen. Sanyukta is waiting for you there" he half yelled and half whispered, as the mere thought that Sanyukta's efforts went futile, maddened him.

"But how would I know??" Randhir justified. "Its midnight Parth. I thought you guyz would have left. Now can you please go tell her to return to her dorm? You know how stubborn she is! She'll stay there thinking that I'll come" he stated as if he knew her in and out.

"If you are really concerned, why don't you go and tell yourself?" Parth demanded.

"I'm extremely tired and my back aches. I need a good nap" Randhir placed all irrelevant excuses.

"Fine" Parth sighed. "What about your dinner?? You must be hungry" he asked

"I'm not hungry" he lied. Parth shook his head and headed back to the canteen to inform Sanyukta, while Randhir went to freshen up.
