Randhir who was standing at the door step was watching it all.

"Sara..." Sanyukta broke down into tears again.

Randhir rushed to her.

He made her stand on her legs but she had became so weak to stand properly.

She was about to lose her balance but Randhir held her tightly in her arms.

Her eyes were closing because of weakness.

"Sanyukta..." He tapped her cheek but she had closed her eyes.

He made her lay on bed carefully.

He sprinkled some water on her face and she slowly opened her eyes.

Randhir sigh in relief.

"Sara..." the only word she utter.

Randhir took her hand in his and started rubbing his palms on her hand.

She was looking at him intently.

"Sleep for some time" He caress her head.

He was about to go but she didnt let him go.

"No please dont go...stay with me..." She said in low voice

He laid beside her on bed.

She crawled in his arms and he held her tightly.

She hide her face in his chest.

Randhir could feel her tears.

He placed a warm kiss on her scalp.

Her sobs were still audible to him.

"Sorry Randhir..." She whispered.

"I am sorry..."

Randhir couldnt hear that properly but he did sense she spoke something.

He thought she is whispering Sara's name.

Sanyukta on the other side was feeling guilty of not trusting her husband but trusting a selfish person like Aryan.

NO. She was not romantically involved with Aryan.

He was always a boss and a friend for her. That's it.

She is loyal to Randhir. She loves him. There was nothing in between her and Aryan. 

Even though things between her and Randhir were not smooth but still love is still there. 

She did share a lot of things with Aryan and he made use of it for his own selfish motives.

Things were not going well between her and Randhir and Aryan took benefit of it.

But why?

Is Aryan interested in her?

Was she leading on Aryan? Unknowingly?

Was any wrong message sent to Aryan by her unintentionally?

Or just for his selfish motives of destroying Randhir.

Randhir and Aryan are business rivals.

But for Sanyukta...she was loyal to her work. 

In spite of knowing all the secrets of Shekhawat group she never shared or passed it to Aryan which will benefit here own company.

Vice versa was not possible too.

*flashback*

"I want to abort this child Randhir" Sanyukta said

The news came like shock Randhir.

"What?" He roared

"Yes...see Randhir...this pregnancy has lots of complications"

"Doctor ne kaha baby shayad healthy na ho...best is to abort the baby" She said

"Doctor ne kaha aur tumne maan liya" "Lets take second opinion Sanyukta..." Randhir suggested

"I dont want this child" I dont want this child...at least at this point of time" Sanyukta stated her point directly

"But why?" "Sanyukta its our baby..." "Kyu nahi chaiye...?" Randhir said

"First of all Randhir...my second pregnancy has lots of complications"

"Survival of baby...is...almost nil" "Aur healthy pregnancy ke chances bohot kaam hai"

"Dusri baat Sara aabhi bohot choti hai" "Who will look after her?" "You know na kitni shaitaan hai woh" "Muje uske peeche bhagna padta hai..." "How am I going to handle?'"

"And third thing is...I am expecting a promotion" "Randhir...I feel so"

"I will get promoted to a higher position"

"Randhir meri mehnat...mera hard work...I dont want it to go in vain"

"Jis moment ka main wait kar rahi thi...woh finally aane wala hai"

"And I dont want my unwanted pregnancy to become hurdle in my path to success" Sanyukta said

"We can take a chance for second baby after some years" "Sara thodi badi hojaye" "And we both will get settled in our professional lives" She said 

"So...jab tumne sab kuch decide kar hi liya hai...toh muje bata bhi kyu rahi ho" Randhir taunted

"Randhir...please dont say this" "I want your support..." She said

"Support?" "Huh..." "By killing our child you want my support" He said

"Randhir...you are going over board now" "Come on I am not the first lady to go through abortion" Sanyukta said

"Ofcourse not...please go ahead" "After all higher position,power,money...is more important" Randhir said

"Tum aaisa kyu bol rahe ho?" Sanyukta said

"Dekho Sanyukta...I have never stopped you from doing what you wish for" "Aapni khud ki company hone ke bawjood you wanted to work somewhere else...I allowed you to do so"

"Tumne aapne life ke decisions khud liye hai...toh yeh bhi lelo" Randhir said

"Randhir..." "Randhir...listen..." But he was gone.

Sanyukta undergo an abortion surgery

After two days.

In evening, there was big party thrown by Aryan.

It was their Annual gathering.

Sanyukta and her family was invited.

As an employee of the company Sanyukta was expected to grace the evening with her husband.

She did.

Randhir accompanied her.

Soon promotions and appraisals were announced.

Sanyukta was waiting for her name to be called.

Finally...the moment came and she was promoted to brand new and higher position.

She was appointed as GM of Harshwal Group. Cocking eyebrows of all the employees. Sanyukta was actually under experience for a position of GM. Her tenure was just of 3 years to get promoted to GM position. Of course this thing became gossip topic in the company.

People in the company came to a conclusion that Sanyukta was given special perks and higher position because she has an extra martial affair with Aryan.

Randhir knew the intentions of Aryan but he remain quite just for Sanyukta.

Things started getting disturbed between SanDhir from that day.

*flashback ends*

Sanyukta lifted her head up to see Randhir.

Seeing his face the guilt got more deeper in her heart.

She hugged him tightly again.

He was in deep slumber by now.

"Sorry..." She mumbled.

"You don't need to be..." came his unexpected reply.

"I killed our child Randhir" "I killed our unborn baby..." She sobbed more

"Lets just forget that thing Sanyukta" He said caressing her hair

"No I can't...I can't forget it Randhir" She said

"We have Sara with us..." "We are not childless couple Sanyukta"

"Think about those couple" "Think about that couple we saw in hospital"

"At least we are fortunate enough to have a baby ..." He said

"But still abortion was my decision Randhir" "You were always against it"

"I took that decision on my own without thinking about your feelings or point of views" She said

"You did...what you felt was right that time" "Tumhe jo sahi laga woh tumne kiya" "Now lets just forget all that..." He said

"Will you forgive me?" He said

"Sanyukta...close your eyes and sleep" He said

"Bolo na Randhir...kya tum muje maaf kar paye ho" She asked

Randhir remained quite for sometime.

His phone buzzed with name of his PA Sanaya Jha.

Randhir moved a bit to grab his phone from pocket.

Sanyukta was still hugging him like a baby.

"Yes Sanaya..." He said and Sanyukta moved her head.

He noticed the change in Sanyukta's expressions.

"Sir..." "I got to know about Sara's condition" "I hope she gets well soon" Sanaya said in a sugar coated voice

"Hmm...why did you call?" Randhir asked

"Sir...I hope you remember we have meeting today with delegates"

"If you could manage to come to office for sometime" Sanaya said

"Cancel the meeting Sanaya" "I wont be able to come" Randhir said

"Sir...but its very urgent" Sanaya said

"No...Sanaya...I dont care" "I dont care about losses too..." "Please cancel all the meetings" He said

"Okay Sir..." Sanaya said

"Anything else" Randhir said

"Sir...can I suggest something" Sanaya said

"Yes..." Randhir replied

Sanyukta was about to distance herself from Randhir but he pulled her back close to him. Sanyukta again tried to get out of his grip but he held her tightly. His grip around her was much stronger. 

"Sir if we could arrange for a meeting via skype" "I can convince them" Sanaya said

"On Skype...Ummm...Okay..." "Arrange the meeting after 2 hours" "I'll be available" "And thank you" Randhir said

"No problem Sir...I'll keep you updated" Sanaya said

Randhir disconnected the call.

He kept his phone on side table and clutched Sanyukta in his hug again.

She hugged him back.

"I don't like that girl" She mumbled

"Which girl?" Randhir asked

"Your PA...Sanaya..." She said

"Why?" He smiled a bit

"Bas muje nahi pasand" "Ajeeb hai" "I don't like her" Sanyukta said

"Thik hai..." Randhir kissed her head.

- - - - -- 

Randhir was first to wake up after taking a small nap.

Sanyukta was still sleeping.

He got freshen up and got ready for meeting.

He quickly dialed number of company's HR manager.

"Umm...I want Sanaya Jha to get transferred to our Banglore office" Randhir said

"Okay Sir...any reason" manager asked.

"Ummm nothing..." Randhir replied

"Sir what will I reply to her when she will ask me reason of her transfer" manager said

"Tell her...Banglore office needs dynamic employees like her" "Her salary package will get increase" "Itna keh do usse maan jayegi" "And I want this transfer as soon as possible" Randhir said

"Sure Sir..." manager replied.

Randhir disconnected the phone.

Sanyukta heard their conversation in sleep.

She smiled a bit.

Soon Randhir was done with his meeting meanwhile Sanyukta freshen up.

"How was your meeting?" She asked

He was driving with concentration.

"Good..." He replied.

"Tumne transfer karva diya Sanaya ka" She asked

"Hmmm..." He replied

"Kyu?" She said

"You really want to know the reason...?" He cocked his brows looking at her

She smiled a bit..

Soon they reached hospital.

"How is Sara?" Randhir asked doctor.

"Congrats...Sara ko hosh aagaya hai" doctor said

"Really..." Randhir chirped happily

"Yes...you and Mrs Shekhawat can meet her..." Doctor said

Randhir rushed to Sanyukta.

"Kya kaha doctor ne Randhir?" Sanyukta asked

"Sara is fine now...usse hosh aagaya hai...come lets go to her" Randhir said

Sanyukta was happy now.

They got inside.

Sara rolled her eyes in direction of the door.

"Sara..." SanDhir said in union.

She blinked her tiny eyes seeing her parents

She looked weak and dull.

Number of tubes were attached to her body.

Her forehead was covered with bandages.

Her eyes looked sleepy.

They werent brightening.

Her lips were dry.

Tears rolled down their cheeks seeing their daughter in this condition.

But what was more hurting...

Sara turned her face to other side completing ignoring her parents.
