Sanyukta opened her eyes slowly and found herself in his arms.

She made a movement which made him break the hug.

"Are you okay?" "Feeling better" He asked her.

She nodded positively.

"chalo...lets go out for dinner" He said

"Par humne khana bana diya hai" She said

"Rehne do...kal kha lenge" "Aabhi lets go out" He said

"Okay..." She replied

After sometime.

Randhir was ready and was waiting for Sanyukta in living area.

"Sanyukta...kitni der" He shouted from outside

"Bas hogaya...aarahe hai" She replied

She opened the door and joined him in living area.

She looks so good in simple attire also. Randhir thought.

"Shall we move?" He asked

"Yes..." She chirped happily.

He held her hand and she followed him.

He kicked started the bike and Sanyukta settled behind him.

The bike halted at a beautiful garden restaurant.

Sanyukta liked the place.

"Come..." He locked their fingers before entering the restaurant.

"Hmm...tell me kya khaogi?" Randhir asked her

"Kuch bhi.." She said

"Woh nahi milta" "Tell me...indian.italian,Chinese,mexican...?" Randhir gave her few options

"Indian..." She said

"Fine...this place serves best butter chicken..." "So shall I order it?" He asked her

"Chicken?" She repeated.

Her face expressions changed immediately.

Randhir noticed it.

"Chicken...aur kuch order karna hai?" He asked her

"Hum non veg nahi khate" She said

"Ohhh...okay" "See that's why I am asking you...kya khana hai?" Randhir said

"Anyways...we'll order veg food" He said

"No...if you want you order non veg for yourself" "Its completely fine" She said

"No...I'll also have veg food with you" He said.

Randhir placed an order of vegetarian food.

"So...you like the place?" He asked her

"Yes its wonderful..." She replied

"You come here often?" She asked him

"Yes, this is my favorite restaurant " He said

"This weekend will go somewhere" He said.

She looked at him.

"Mumbai dikhaunga tumhe" He said

Her lips curved into huge smile.

"Hume...samandar dekhna hai" "Humne kabhi nahi dekha...sirf dekha hai...films main magazine main" She chirped excitedly.

Randhir smiled looking at her excitement.

Soon they were served with food.

"Wow Randhir...your choice is really good" "I really like the taste of food" She said

"Thanks" He chirped

"So what's your fav cuisine?" He asked her

"I basically like Indian food" "Continental ...I haven't really tasted that much" "But I have heard a lot about it" She said

"Hmmm...." He replied

"Aapne toh sab taste kiya hoga na" She asked

"Haan..." "Office parties main contiential hi hota hai" "so aadat ho jati hai" He said.

There was silence of few minutes between them.

"Par aab ghar ka khana aacha lagta hai" He said breaking the silence between them.

She raised her eyes and looked at him.

"Since last 5 years...main aaise hi bahar ka khana ka raha tha"

"I am tired now" "When you prepare lunch box for me...I feel really nice"

"There is someone to look after my health and eating"

"Tum subah uthke mere liye breakfast aur lunch banati ho"

"Aacha lagta hai muje " "Thanks" He spoke his heart.

"You welcome..." She smiled brightly.

Some time later they were their way back home.

Sanyukta is very happy.

Randhir's words touched her heart.

She was smiling all the while.

They reached home.

"I really enjoyed dinner thank you" Sanyukta chirped before laying down on bed

"My pleasure..." He chirped.

Randhir's phone rang.

"Hello Papa..." "How are you?" Randhir said

"I am fine" "How about you and Sanyukta?" "All good?" Harsh asked

"Yes Papa...we are fine" "All going good" Randhir said

"Sanyukta is new to the city and surroundings" "Take care of her" Harsh said

"Haan Papa..." Randhir looked at Sanyukta

"How is everyone?" "Dadu Dadi...Maa..." Randhir asked

"Everyone is fine" "I wanted to talk to you...isliye call kiya" Harsh said

"Kahiye Papa..." Randhir said

"Randhir you are not alone now" "You have Sanyukta..." "She is your responsibility"

"She is trusting you..."

"She left her father's house and came to our family with dreams and hopes" "I just want you both happy" Harsh said.

Randhir looked at Sanyukta.

She was in deep slumber by then.

He got up and came to living area so that her sleep doesn't get disturbed.

"Papa...she is very nice" "She takes care of me and house" "Bohot aachi hai woh" Randhir said

"Glad to hear that..." "I am very happy" "Sanyukta is really nice girl" "I hope you spend time with her?" Harsh said

"Yes Papa...we went for dinner" "Just came back....Sanyukta so rahi hai" Randhir said

"that's great" "Okay...talk to you later then" "Take care" "Good Night" Harsh said

"Night Papa..." Randhir disconnected the call.

He came to room and found Sanyukta sleeping.

He laid next to her.

She look like a small innocent child while sleeping.

Randhir kept staring at her for sometime.

He remembered her innocent but sparkling eyes every time she smiles.

Her eyes are very pretty.

The first thing which Randhir was attracted to.

Her eyes.

Then her sweet smile.

He went into flashback and remember how he came back home yesterday and she opened the door for him.

He felt so relieved.

Randhir slowly and carefully took her hand into his.

He locked their fingers.

He looked at their lock hands.

IT WAS A PERFECT HANDHOLD.
