what i need is a small technique whereby which I can check the
stdin for an input, without prompting the user(the user will
enter a key as and when he wishes, not depending on the
program) AND without halting the execution (as getc() does)
AND without displaying the key on the screen AND should store
the pressed key to variable

One process would do all the waiting (fgetc(stdin) amd all
that), the other process can periodically check on the results
with a simple "if(is_there_message_waiting())" type decision.

Interrupts is another method, but it all boils down to the same
thing.
