Part-88-2

"Yes." "So let's talk." That sentence was enough for Sanyukta to rile up all her curiosity and anxiety regarding what's going through her husband mind. She thought when she will put forward her wish in front of him he will accept with open arms but the reactions which are coming from him are weird and unsettling. "Tell me one thing Randhir do you want me to join this office or not?" She had enough of his uncertainty. "Sanyukta it's not.." "Yes or no." She interrupted. "Yes." He sighed. "Are you happy?" She asked another question. "Yes." "Are you really happy or just for sake of saying?" "I'm really happy for you princess." He leaned forward cupping her face. "Then why isn't your face saying so?" She pouted with a frown. "It's nothing like that. It just that I wanted to surprise you with something on your birthday but you were too stubborn to wait for two days." He answered. "What surprise?" He was planning a surprise for her birthday that was a surprise in itself. In fact she wasn't sure if anybody knew about it or not. "Read this." He handed her the file which Harsh gave him. Sanyukta curiously took the file from his hand. What surprise could he be talking about and what is in the file. Sanyukta thought. "What is in this?" She asked. She has always been a curious person. She can't be blamed for the questions rising in her mind. "Read it, you will get it." "Okay." She shrugged opening the file and reading the content "Randhir.. You want me.." Sanyukta shuttered looking up from the file after reading it. "Yes." He simply answered with a huge grin on his face. "I can't." She shook her head. The thought what Randhir want was too overwhelming. "Yes you can Sanyukta." "I can't Randhir. It's is too huge of a responsibility for a inexperienced person like me. I'm glad you thought I can be part of boards of directors and have share in company but I'm incapable and inexperience." She decline keeping back the file on the desk. "Everyone is inexperienced at a certain point in life. If you will not experience it how will you become experience. And about your incapabilities I know how capable you are and the rest can be polished with time." Randhir explained with a shrug as if he will just snap his fingers and it's done. "No Randhir.." "Answer me Sanyukta." He interrupted. "Haven't you not been helping me recently." "Yes, I was but those were just basic and small things. I'm not aware how to deal with bigger problems." "Sanyukta here I'm offering you to be part of boards and you are giving me excuses. You wished to join office and I'm giving you the opportunity." He almost yelled in irritation. "I know it is such a big opportunity." She sighed. She knew he was loosing his patience but she want to keep her point too. "But I don't feel worthy enough Randhir." "What do mean Sanyukta? You are a educated woman." "But not as highly educated. After completing my graduation I started the internship with Sameer's company. I thought from that internship I'll earn enough to do MBA by this not being a burden on my parents either. Getting married at 23 was never in my To Do list Randhir but see here I'm. Don't think I'm complaining or anything, getting hitched to you was one of the best thing." She wiped the traitorous tears that escaped her eyes. This stupid tears ducts. Can't they for once not make her look weak. "So you are trying to say that if you would have had a MBA degree you would have accepted my proposal?" "Maybe yes." She whispered. "Then it is decided.." He rubbed her jaw nervously. "You will get a MBA degree in two years." "But.." "No ifs and buts Sanyukta.. I'm trying hard to make things easy. Just listen go me. Okay?" He asked. "What about the babies Randhir?" She spoke quickly before he can cut her. "Are you..?" "No." She quickly denied. "So?" "I'm not now but the other day we had the talk about the babies and you said you will love to have a baby and I don't want all this MBA mess and all to come in between my pregnancy." "Sanyukta you want a baby now?" "I.." "Tell me honestly?" "No." She whispered. "But you?" "The other day when we talked about the baby I thought you want one. Yes, I would love to have babies with you in future but I for now I just want you.  You are 23 almost 24 and I'm just 26. We have whole life ahead for everything. Do what you want to do at the moment and pregnancy in early age can be harmful too." "You don't want baby now?" "No. All I want is you to take up a MBA course and while doing MBA you will work in this company for experience too. Okay?" "Is it an order?" "No." "Good, because I don't take orders." She said in between her sobs." "I love you Sanyukta." He said wiping her tears and pulling her in a hug. "I love you too." ----------------------------------- "Pick up the damn phone Randhir.." Sanyukta clenched her jaw as Randhir phone went unanswered for nth time. Currently she was sitting in the living room with some random movie playing on the TV, her one hand devouring the ice cream and the other busy calling Randhir from past few hours. Being alone was not something that Sanyukta look forward too especially when ditched by her husband. Yesterday when Renuka narrated the plan for the weekend, Randhir straightforward decline the offer saying he has something important to do therefore Sanyukta and he will reach the other day. Everyone left for the Lonavla in the morning, leaving Randhir and Sanyukta alone who will join them sometime in afternoon tomorrow. Randhir too left the house soon after others repeating his old excuse that he has something important to do. Sanyukta looked at time. It was almost seven in the evening and since morning there was sign of him or any news of him. That infuriating man was not picking up her calls either. She can understand that he may have some sudden work to attend. That was not a problem. The problem was if he was going to be out of the house entire day leaving her alone to sulk, it would had been better if she would have gone with others. The sudden knock on the door broke Sanyukta's chain of thoughts, cursing incoherent words to him she got up see the unexpected visitor. "Yes?" She asked the man who was standing on the doorstep with huge rectangular box in his hand. "This is for you." He forwarded the box "I'm sorry, I guess you are on wrong address we haven't ordered anything so huge. It must be somebody else's." She declined pushing the box back. "You are Sanyukta Shekhawat?" "Yes." "Then I'm on right address. This for you." He handed the box with a warm smile.
