"Sara..." Sanyukta cupped her face and kissed her forehead.

"How are you feeling now baby?" She asked

"Fine..." Sara replied

"Princess..." Randhir kissed her hand.

"We will soon take you home..." "Then you, me and Mumma...we three will have loads of fun" "We will be a happy family again" Randhir said

"Mumma Dad...why are you both here?" "Don't you have office today" Sara spoke

"Baby..." Sanyukta was about to say but Randhir pressed her hand indicating her to stop.

"Princess...doctors have advised you to take maximum rest" "You want to get well soon. Right?" "So...take rest beta...hum bahar hi hai.." Randhir said

He dragged Sanyukta out from Sara's room.

"Usne aaisa kyu bola Randhir?" "And why did she turned her face away from us" Sanyukta had tears in her eyes

She knew the answers but still refrained from believing it.

"What else you expect Sanyukta?" Randhir said in disappointment.

"Woh humse baat toh karegi na Randhir" "Woh maaf karegi na hume? Randhir had no answer to her question.

"I want MY SARA back" "I want her back" Sanyukta broke down in Randhir's arms

Days rolled on.

Sara's health improved.

She was responding to medicines and treatments well.

But the situation between them was still the same.

Sara hardly use to take to her parents.

Sanyukta made number of attempts to make her smile, talk to her but she didnt responded.

This was matter of concern for everyone.

Sara's behaviour was expected and justified but at the same time hurting too.

Randhir picked up Sara in his arms.

Sara got discharged from hospital today.

Sanyukta settled inside their car and Randhir placed Sara on Sanyukta's lap.

Sara was sleepy.

Sanyukta rested Sara's head on her chest and lightly tapped her head.

Sara closed her eyes.

Sara slept in Sanyukta's arms.

  Randhir started driving.  

"So gayi?" Randhir asked

"Hmmm...aabhi bhi weakness hai..." She said

"I am happy that she is fine now" "She is coming home" Randhir said

Sanyukta didnt replied.

"Sanyukta...what happened?" He asked

"Randhir I am afraid" "I don't know what will happen" "Sara thik toh hogayi hai par...humare beech sab kab thik hoga?" Sanyukta said

"Sanyukta...it will take time" "Sara needs time...and we have to give her that time" "We cannot force her to talk to us" "Sab thik hoga..." "Trust me...we both will work together and set the things right" Randhir said

"Hmmm..." she replied

Soon they reach home.

Randhir carried Sara carefully in his arms making sure her sleep doesnt get disturbed.

Harsh was happy seeing them.

"Sara is home finally..." "Yeh ghar bilkul shant pad gaya tha Sara ke bina" Harsh said

"Princess hai humari..." Harsh said caressing her head.

"Randhir...jao isse sula do room main..." Harsh said

Randhir went upstairs followed by Sanyukta to THEIR ROOM.

He placed Sara on bed and covered her with duvet.

Sanyukta stood there in the middle and kept looking at Sara.

Randhir went to her and hugged her.

She hugged him back.

"Hum kar lenge Sanyukta..." "Remember...we both together are unbeatable" He said

"Hmmm...yes" She spoke

"Randhir..." She broke the hug.

"Kya tum please thodi der ke liye Sara ke saath reh sakte ho" She asked

"Yes ofcourse...but tum kaha ja rahi ho" He said

"Randhir...I have a very important work to do" "Bohot zaruri kaam hai...muje jana hai" She said

"Okay...take my car and go..." "Drive safe" He said

"I'll be back soon..." She replied.

Soon she reached Harshwal office.

"Hey Sanyukta.." "What a present surprise" "Welcome back.." "Finally you are here...we were missing you  Sanyukta" Aryan was about to hug Sanyukta but she stopped him.

"Be in your limits Aryan" She said

"Ohh...Sorry yaar" "I am so happy that finally you are back...so couldn't control" "By the way...how is Sara?" "And your husband" Aryan asked

"Not of your concern Aryan" "I am here for an important task" Sanyukta said

"What?" Aryan asked

Sanyukta handed him an envolpe.

"What this?" Aryan asked

"My resignation..." Sanyukta announced.

"What?" "Resignation?" "Are you out of your mind Sanyukta?" Aryan said

"No...I am in very right frame of mind Aryan" "I should have done this before only"

"I have dropped an e-mail to you and HR team...but still came here with thought of meeting you last time" "I hope not to see your face again in future" Sanyukta said

"Hey Sanyukta...why are you saying this?" "Whats wrong?" "And why resignation...all of sudden"

"I know your husband forced you to do so...that bastard..." before Aryan could speak further Sanyukta pasted a tight slap on his face.

"Dare you say a single word against Randhir" "He is my husband..." Sanyukta shouted.

"Ohh yes...your good for nothing husband" Aryan clutched Sanyukta's shoulders tightly

"Shut up...you dont have any right to say anything against my husband" "You are nothing" "Tum iss layak hi nahi ho" Sanyukta shouted again

"Ohh is it?" "Suddenly itna pyaar aagaya tumhe aapne husband pe" "What happened Sanyukta?" "Don't tell me...tumhara pati sudhar gaya hai" Aryan started laughing

"You know what Aryan...I was fool to trust you" "I thought you are my friend" "You understand me...isliye maine tumse sab share kiya"

"But you..." "You are so cheap Aryan" "You are a disgusting person" "Tumhara muje baar baar touch karna" "Muje divorce ke liye provoke karna" "Muje late night tak kaam karvana" "Mere kareeb aana..." "I was fool not to decode your intentions Aryan" "Samaj nahi payi tumhari selfish intentions ko" "And because of you...Randhir and all the employees of company started doubting on me" "You are disgusting person Aryan..." She said

Aryan laughed on her words.

"Ohh come on Sanyukta..." "Like really...you thought I was genuine friend of yours" "Let me remind you...your husband and me...are business rivals" "Yes I gave you position of GM in spite of your inexperience..." "Yes I favored you...I was biased towards you" "Yes I acted all good in front of you to gain your trust Sanyukta"

"So that...you can start sharing business secrets of your husband's company to me" 

"Tumhe divorce ke liye advise di because I wanted to destroy Randhir professionally and PERSONALLY TOO"

"And ofcourse Sanyukta...look at you" "Kon kahega tum dekhar ki tum ek 5 saal ki baachi ki Maa ho" "Just look at you" "You have maintained yourself so well...yaar come on...kon tum main intrested nahi hoga"

"You know what my plan was....after you divorce Randhir...I will get you straight in my bed" Aryan said

Sanyukta slapped him again

"Bastard..."

"Moron..."

"I don't know why I am here and listening to your disgusting non sense" "Here...accept my resignation letter" Sanyukta placed the envolpe in his hand.

"Think again Sanyukta" "You will never such a good position and salary anywhere" "And a career oriented woman like you is leaving such a high reputed job" 

"Ohh god..." Aryan laughed

"Yes I am leaving a highly reputed,high paying and top position job Mr Aryan Harshwal"

"Because nothing is important for me more than my family"

"I have to re-construct my family..."

"I have to mend my broken family"

"My daughter needs me the most"

"My husband needs me right now"

"I dont care of jobs and packages Aryan"

"For me my family comes first"

"Aur rahi baat dusri high position aur high paying job ki..." "Then let me remind you Mr Aryan Harshwal..."

"I am 50% partner and share holder of Shekhawat group"

"I have a power in my company without even working there"

"So top position...or high paying wali job ki tum baat hi mat karo"

"And about respect...."

"Then I am co-founder of company...so you should have an idea of the respect I get...in Shekhawat group"

"Anyways Mr Aryan Harshwal...good luck" 

"I hope I never see your face again" Sanyukta was about to go when Aryan held her hand and pulled her close

"Remember...you have signed a contract...with Harshwals"

"You cannot go..." "Pay a sum of 10 lacs rupees" "I'll set you free..." Aryan said

"I know you will come up with this" Sanyukta replied

"Take this..."

Sanyukta threw a check of 10 lacs rupees on Aryan's face.

"The same check which you gave me...to buy a car for myself" "Yeh lo...tumhare 10 lacs" Sanyukta said

"You are not doing right" Aryan said

"I am doing right Aryan" "In fact I should have done this before only" "Shayad meri family destroy hone se bach jati" "Shayad...Sara ..." She controlled her tears.

"So Mrs Sanyukta R Shekhawat will turn into a typical house wife now" "Wow...."

"Aapne qualifications,experience, job sab kuch chod ke...you will become an ideal wife and mother" Aryan mocked her.

"Mr Harshwal...don't underestimate this job"

"There is no great job as a house wife" "Making your family happy, taking care of your family, spending time with them

...jo khushi usme milti hai...woh khushi debit card ke account balance dekhe ke nahi milti" 

"One who does it...knows its value" 

"Good bye" 

Sanyukta the left the place

She came back home.

Sara was still sleeping while Randhir was waiting for Sanyukta's return.

She came to their room.

Randhir was siting beside Sara.

"Randhir..." Sanyukta called him.

Randhir rushed to her.

"Where were you?" "Are you fine?" "Kya hua...?" "Kaha gayi thi tum Sanyukta...?" Randhir asked her

"Office..." She replied blankly

"Maine resign kar diya Randhir" "Maine woh job chod di..." She said and looked at him.
