Recap : Sanyukta is back home from the party and curses Randhir on whom she wasted her first kiss but still somewhere she liked it. On the other hand Randhir also struggles with his messed up feelings. The next morning Sanyukta can't find an important paper, she guesses Randhir must have taken it when they kissed. She leaves Tara at her father's place and retrieve info on the gang before paying them a visit. She finds out that Randhir is believed to be dead. She goes to the den. As usual they argue.
He turned back toward her and said "Do you really think you can return back home now ?"
"What do you mean ? And who's going to stop me ?" she challenged him.
"Actually no one... let's just say that you will stay here from your own free will" he calmly informed her.
"Umph ! as if !" she scoffed. Not happening ! Memories of her last stay here were still fresh in her mind, where the most prestigious hotels were rated five stars, she could not give more than minus five stars to the den... which basically meant that she took stars from them rather than giving ! Nope she was not going to stay even if she was given five stars in return ...thanks but no thanks !
"Please enlighten me... why on earth would I do that ?" she asked him raising her eyebrow, pointing out the absurdity of his sentence.
"...Because... I made sure of it !" responded Randhir, eyes fixated on her. His domineering posture, his penetrating eyes, his sharp words, all of it sounded like a verdict delivered by a judge in court... full and final !
"Stop beating around the bush !!! " she yelled at him, her eyes spitting fire. He was trying to intimidate her...but he didn't know who he was dealing with, all it did was unnerve her even more. ...And a mad Sanyukta was a dangerous Sanyukta to be around !
Randhir chuckled, over the days he had gotten used to her attitude and on rare occasion he even found it cute...like right now ! The way she frowned, the way her nose crunched in annoyance, the way her tiny fist clenched in anger... yup definitely cute ! He approached her and lightly caressed her neck with the tip of his fingers. Shivers run down the spine of Sanyukta, she closed her eyes for a fraction of a second... before directly setting them on Randhir's dark one, slapping his hand away.
"Darling you already forgot ?!...you are my girlfriend now" he said intently looking at her.
Sanyukta frowned "What ? ...But that's not true !!! " she exclaimed. Randhir chuckled again.
"Right...But only you and I know that" he told her smirking.
"Ok whatever...but what does this has to do with me staying here ?!!" she asked frustrated. The bloody gangster was doing it on purpose, talking in riddles and stirring her curiosity. The situation was nearly as much frustrating as a forced break during a very crucial twist in your new favorite book, ...having to stop in the middle of a decisive battle or just before the much awaited confession of the protagonists could turn what people commonly referred as "an innocent bookworm" into a "weapon of mass destruction" ! ...And at this moment she felt exactly like the innocent bookworm on the beginning of the transition toward its other state : the weapon of mass destruction... she wanted to know : what will happen next ?! ...and if her wish was not granted soon, only god could save Randhir.
"You are a bit slow for a miss know it all..." he taunted her. Deciding to stop his teasing, he added "Well... if I remember well, just moments ago, you have been introduced as one of Mumbai's top gangster's girlfriend..." he told her.
He checked his watch and added "Which mean that by now... a price must have been decided for your pretty face" he said caressing her cheek with the back of his hand. Sanyukta's eye grew big from shock. Randhir chuckled at her reaction.
"And..." he paused.
"...as you are Falcon, as you so rightfully reminded me...right now you are probably India's most wanted girl !" he exclaimed triumphal.
"Congratulations dear, you just hit the jackpot !" he said kissing her cheek. ...It seemed like any excuse was good enough to taste that milky skin of hers... One taste and he was addicted.
Sanyukta just stood there frozen, what the hell had she landed herself into... she tried to count the possible outcomes from this situation, cursing her brain that told her to come here and get what belonged to her. Not only she had lost the papers, but she was now once again trapped in the oh so wonderful company of the barbarian. The slight difference was that now, she was much more aware of him being a man, which made matters a hundred time worse !
After thinking the possibilities she had, she came to the following conclusion : the situation she was in, involved the following facts :
1. Her life was in danger... once again !... "double danger" if she might add ! It was already bad enough when she was just Falcon...but now she was also the Jane to the Tarzan..."guh-reat" !
2. She won't be able to return to her life until all this "girlfriend" thing is cleared... stupid jerk for involving her in his mess !
3. She won't be able to see Tara for some time... she sighed, at least this time she was safe !
4. To her dismay...the safest place for her was here, at the den... in the company of the devil himself... How ironic, the safest place was the devil's den ! It was either : she goes out and face a hundred little devils OR she stays here and confronts the biggest of them all. She chose the latter. ...Either way she was going to end up with a gangster with no morals, the least she could do was to secure the looks ! It was statistically nearly impossible to stumble upon another specimen as handsome and sexy as him, hence her choice !
5. Her client Monica was counting on her... but she was trapped here and won't be able to work on her case. She huffed, frustrated.
"Oh dear this is not good... not good at all" Sanyukta scratched her temple in annoyance, "all because of this stupid Randhir, I hate being this helpless !" she muttered to herself in hatred. Randhir kept looking at her antics when she analyzed the gravity of her situation, his smirk grew wider whenever a new crease appeared on her forehead.
Suddenly he noticed her eyes welling up after a good 5 minutes of struggle with her self-thoughts. He felt weird, he could not say if he liked or disliked the scene in front of him and this was really weird cause he should be enjoying her helplessness...instead he was having mixed feelings, He had left no opportunities to torment her, yet here he was getting affected by her shining eyes... how ironical !
Randhir was struggling with his new found feeling but he eventually spoke up, "Come On it's not that bad is it? Don't you feel how precious you are?" He came and caressed her forehead in an involuntary impulse to calm her, "Darling I will take really good care of you I promise" he said playfully.
Sanyukta jerked his hand away, she was in no mood for his games, she felt trapped...a well known feeling, a feeling she hated like nothing else, a past experience had left a huge imprint on her...
"Leave me, Randhir" she whispered dangerously.
"Sanyukta" He huskily whispered in her ear, clasping her waist from other side, "Girls die to come near me and here you are... being difficult. Not Fair haan" Randhir kept on trying to lighten the mood.
A lone tear escaped her eye, "I said LEAVE ME ALONE" she yelled with her rage mixed in tears. Randhir instantly slided off his hand, he took one last look at her and left the room, slamming the door behind.
Sanyukta broke into tears as he left, her inner self cursing her fate.
***
The room got darker as the sun rose overheads and noon dawned up. Sanyukta sat on the chair her head buried in her lap. She didn't even care when the door creaked open back yet again.
"Sanyukta..."
Sahil came in, "Are you okay?" he inquired seeing her state.
Sanyukta rose her head above and rubbed her eyes due to sudden glow in surroundings. Sahil tried to ask her again, "Sanyukta are you okay? Have it" he forwarded her a plate with a couple of sandwiches.
Sanyukta looked up to him, he smiled assuring "Have it! You must be hungry" Sahil forwarded her the plate.
"I' m fine... but thanks for the sandwiches..." was all she said.
"You can talk to me you know..." he tried.
Sanyukta sadly smiled at him "I just hate it... being this helpless" she told him dejectedly and ate the sandwich. She zoned out on her thoughts. Flashes of the dreadful night playing in her minds "I reminds me of...of..." she came back to her senses before she could finish her sentence. "Nothing... I'm ok" she finished looking at him forcing a smile on her face.
"Sahil, thanks but I want to be alone for some time". Sahil left the room.
After eating Sanyukta pondered over the new situation and scolded herself for the way she behaved earlier. She was not a cry baby...she was a strong woman for crying out loud !...and she knew better that anyone else that there was no point in crying... It never solved the matters...she had to take matters in her hands, she has to gain back her control. Randhir will not manipulate her like a puppet... She will make him pay, no one messed with her without facing the consequences ! Automatically her mind got into work, looking for ways to take revenge...It was incredible how this guy inspired her inner serial killer !
***
Randhir stood at the window frame looking at the sky full of orange, evening came in but his thoughts were still filled with the morning's encounter. "The great Falcon... was so vulnerable!" he thought to himself and smirked at the turn of tables. The flashes of their kiss came rushing the moment he thought about her, "Why did I kiss her again?" he muttered and place a punch on the nearest wall, "What is wrong with me?" he gritted in rage. His heart raced frantically still justifying himself, "It was just to get rid of Shaina. Nothing else."
But his emotions betrayed him, "Admit it you liked it last time...and you wanted to taste more", said his inner voice. For the first time he was experiencing his heart and brain loosing sync between them. The war was unmanageable for him... But inside he knew better than to lie to himself... even though he had an agenda he could not deny his reaction to Sanyukta closeness "...Sanyukta, you always manage to bring the worst out of me" he just prayed this will not get in the way of his mission. He had to be careful around her !
***
The door creaked open and Sahil rushed himself in, "Randhir"
"Hmm" he was in no mood to answer though... he wanted to be alone for the moment.
"She had her food but something was amiss"
"What do you mean?" Randhir suddenly felt his curiosity shot up, he turned to face Sahil who looked a bit worried.
"I spoke to her, I think something from her past still haunts her."
"How do you know that?"
"I just felt" Sahil shrugged his shoulders, while Randhir pulled his harsh look back.
"Whatever, we don't have time for her drama" He spoke coldly.
***
Sanyukta had spent all day in the room, thinking about the situation.
"I have made up my mind, am not going to sit here and closely follow the devil's orders...For now I know that Tara is safe with her father, and my life is not much in danger as far as I stay here...so my priority right now is my Monica's case." she concluded.
"But first... I have to make Randhir pay for what he did to me..." she thinks about ways to annoy him.
"Got it !...he wanted a girlfriend han ?...then a girlfriend he will get... a clingy, whiny, annoying girlfriend !" she smiled evilly.
"Bohot shok tha na girlfriend banana ka...ab dekho me tumara kia hal karti hun... aisa sabak sikhaungi ki tum dobara girlfriend ka nam b nahi loge..."she said determination written over her face. What the hell did he think of himself announcing like that that she was his girlfriend... Clearly no one had taught this barbarian the simple etiquette of asking the girl's opinion before making such an announcement.
She knew exactly how she was going to annoy him...but she was a bit nervous... it's not like she was doing this for the first time... she had used her sex appeal several time in the past to get out of situations...Surely this was just another one of those situation... with the sight difference that this time she was going in front of the devil of all devils... and everything was different when it came to him... she sighed, brushing her thought away, she decided to put her plan into action, and headed toward Randhir's room.
She knocked on his door and waited, she got no response...may be he was not there... she slowly opened the door and peeped in...the path was clear ! She heard the shower indicating her that the devil was taking a bath...a bath ...bath...Randhir...muscle...water drops...
X rated images flooded her mind... Alert !!! trigger the alarm, red light, I repeat trigger the alarm, virus Randhir has entered Sanyukta's system ! Danger ! ...No no no this was not the time for such thoughts she scolded herself.
The door opened making her come out of her thoughts. Randhir came out only wearing a pair of washed jeans... with...no top ?!!! ... randhir...muscles...water drops...bare chest... here she went again...CONCENTRATE Sanyukta ! concentrate ! she told herself.
Upon getting out of the bathroom, Randhir was shocked to see Sanyukta in his room...that too comfortably sitting on his bed and smiling at him. The last time he saw her she was mad at him and yelling at him... he was positive she would kill him the next moment she saw him ! what happened now ?! Smiling was definitely not part of the script he has imagined !...She was definitely up to something ! he concluded, trying to look for any plausible reason that could explain her presence here.
"What are you doing here, this is my room ! You have no right to come here" he informed her.
She approached him and said looking him in the eyes "But that's where you are wrong darling...as your girlfriend I have the right !" she purred.
She got up from the bed and broke eye contact, "I just came to inform you that I am about to make your life a living hell" she warned him with the sweetest smile plastered on her face.
"You introduced me as your girlfriend right...so I thought why not... honor the title" that being said, she went away.
Randhir just stood rooted at his place...what the hell was that... and what did she mean by honor the title ?
He sighed.
"I don't have time for your games Sanyukta..." he discarded the incident.
***
It's afternoon Randhir is sitting in the living room he is checking some information he received on his phone.
Sanyukta comes there and spots him...
"Time for some action" she smirked and sat close to Randhir. She looks at his screen now and then... Randhir gets irritated.
"What the hell ?! Mind your own business !" he said hiding his phone in his pocket.
"No... let me see" she demands him stubbornly. "Pleaaase, please pretty please..." she added just to annoy him. It was funny how politeness could turn really annoying if taken to extreme.
"What ?! Why ?" he asked losing patience
"Pleaaase" she kept on her drama.
"What please ?" he said.
"Pleaaase" she batted her eyelashes. Oh she was enjoying it ! Hahaha !
"What please ?!!!!!" he asked louder.
Good question, thought Sanyukta, why was she saying please again ? ...she didn't remember, Oh well...! it was annoying him and she was enjoying it and this was reason enough to continue the nonsense.
"Pleaaase" she grabbed his upper arm.
"What the hell do you want ?" Randhir finally yelled, irritated by her behavior. She was acting weird.
"I want to know who you are talking to" she whined.
"None of your business" he declared.
"Of course it is, as you girlfriend it is my right to know !"
Randhir just look at her.
" TELL ME" she ordered him. Randhir didn't reply.
Sanyukta whole expression suddenly changed, as she just realized something. "You're talking to someone behind my back" she told him dramatically raising her eyebrows.
"OMG..." she put a hand over her heart... "OMG...you are not cheating on me, are you ?!" she faked hurt and jealousy.
"Who's that bitch ?! Tell me ! I'll skin her alive am telling you" she kept on pestering him. "Me mun noch lungi uska, samanji kia hai apne aap ko !"
"Stop it woman !" he yelled pushing her away from him.
She pouted on hearing him furious, and adorned her most innocent look. He knew she wasn't done yet, she grabbed his face and started caressing him "Baby please...you can't do that to me...please... you can't cheat on me" she whined shedding crocodile tears.
"Give me your phone, show me who it is... don't you have any shame... flirting with others girl when you have girlfriend...and that too right under her nose !" she started hitting him.
Sanyukta tried to grab his phone from his pocket when he lost his patience "STOP! Stop it right there... Enough of your drama ! "
"Drama ??!!!" she yelled back, faking hurt and surprise.
"What drama han ?...here my heart is breaking into millions pieces and you think all this is a drama ?!... can't you hear the shattering of my heart ? she asked, throwing the glass of orange juice on the nearby table, breaking it in thousands pieces...Ah take that !
"What the hell ?!" he asked furiously. Looking incredulously at what she just did.
Sanyukta started faking hyperventilation, "that's too much... I can't take it anymore..." she took deep breaths, in, out, in, out..."Am having an attack !" she said dramatically.
Peeping under her closed eyes she took a glance at Randhir, the expression on his face was priceless ! It took her lot of self-control not to drop the act and burst out laughing...It was as if he could not decide with which emotion to go, annoyance at her clingy behavior, anger at her glass-breaking act or concern at her supposedly dying state... yeah just priceless.
Serves him right ! He wanted to trap her han ? Now let's see who's the mouse and who's the cat !
Randhir clenched his fist in anger...What the bloody hell happened to her ?! ... what's this new drama of hers ? was it her plan to annoy him ? if that was the case she had succeeded big time, he was really close to strangling her, his fingers were itching to grab her little neck...and mind you there was nothing sensual involved this time, murderous thoughts were driving his acts right now.
Sanyukta kept on pestering him. Randhir got fed up, he harshly pushed her away and left.
Sanyu composed herself and smiled, 1 for Sanyuka, 0 for the devil ! ...it's only the beginning mister gangster...just wait and watch what I have in store for you ! she smirked evilly !
