Day rolled into evening.

Parth came to meet Sara.

"How is Sara?" Parth asked

"She is fine" Randhir said

"What happened?" Parth asked "Parth...yaar...Sara was suffering so much and we both were unaware of it" "Itne hadd tak hurt hue hai woh...ki aab humse baat tak nahi karti" "I don't know Parth" "I am feeling very terrible and weak" "I don't know what will happen in future" "I keep on encouraging Sanyukta but...main khud..." Randhir said

"See Randhir you cannot fall weak" "You have to be strong" "Tuje Sara ke saath saath Sanyukta ko bhi sambhalna hai" "Come on ...Randhir...you cannot be this weak" "Sanyukta and Sara needs you...tum weak nahi pad sakte" Parth said

"Parth...this ladies are so lucky" "Yeh log atleast roke aapna dukh halka kar sakte hai" "Hum kya kare?" "Whenever I see Sanyukta crying..." "Whenever I see indifferent behaviour of Sara..." "It tears me apart parth" "Yeh dono meri zindagi hai" "Na main Sanyukta ke samne weak pad sakta hu..." "Na main Sara ke samne ro sakta hu..." Randhir said

"I understand it Randhir..." "Give some time..." "Time is best medicine..." "Ek baat kahu tujse" Parth said

"Bol..." "I think...before anything...you and Sanyukta needs to solve your internal conflicts" "Aagar tum dono ke beech koi problem hai...toh usse pehle solve karo...aur phir Sara ko manao" Randhir looked at Parth

"You both still love each other" "Pyaar toh aaj bhi hai...but jatana hai aab" Parth said

"Sara wants to see her parents happy and together" "Usne sirf tum dono ki fights dekhi hai" "Tumhara pyaar...tumhara ek dusre ke saath rehna...shayad usne nahi dekha" Parth said

"So you mean to say Sara ke samne pyaar kare" Randhir chuckled

"Ofcourse not..." "But she should feel that her parents aren't fighting with each other anymore" "They don't "hate each other" " "They are together...and working to win her back" "Aagar woh tum dono ko saath dekhegi..it will really help her to recover" Parth said

"Hmmm..." Randhir replied

"Chal...I'll go and meet Sara" Parth said and left

"Parth uncle..." Sara was happy seeing Parth

"Hey Sara...how are you ?" Parth picked her up in arms

"I am fine..." Sara replied

"That's like my girl..." Parth kissed her cheeks

"Where is Vidhan and Vidushi Aunty" Sara asked "Vidhan at school and aunty at work" "They will come to meet you soon okay?" Parth said

"Parth uncle..." "Can I tell you something" Sara said

"Haan beta..." Parth said

"Uncle take me to your place" "I don't want to stay here" "I don't like this house..." Sara said Parth was shocked by her words.

"Sara baby...this is your home" Parth said

"No this is not my home" "This is Randhir Shekhawat and Sanyukta Shekhawat's home" "Not my home..." Sara said

"Its not like that Sara" "Your parents house is your house too..." Parth said

"They are not my parents" "I am not their baby... they dont care for me" "They dont love me..." "Uncle...take me to your home" Sara cried.

Parth hugged her immediately.

He realised the extent to which Sara is hurt

- - - - -

"No...Noway...I wont let you take Sara at your place Parth" Sanyukta said

"Sanyukta she needs a change" Parth said

"No Parth no...sorry....I wont allow you to take her away from me" "Main Sara ko khud se dur nahi jaane de sakti..." Sanyukta said

"Sanyukta understand...Parth has a point" Randhir said

"Randhir tum bhi..." Sanyukta looked at him in disbelief

"Sanyukta...please understand...Sara needs this change" "Usse yaha suffocation horahi hai" "And Parth is our friend...we can trust him" "Aur 2 din main usse vapas le aayenge" "Waha she will play with Vidhan...she will feel better" "Sanyukta aagar uske dimag se...aapne hi ghar ke liye jo yeh hate hai isse nikalna hai toh hume yeh karna hoga" Randhir said

"Aur bhi tarike hai Randhir" Sanyukta said

"Sanyukta...only for 2 days" "Usse thoda change milega..." "And trust me...and Vidushi...ek baar try karke toh dekhte hai" Parth said Sanyukta thought for a while

"I don't want to let Sara go away from me" "But if you both are insisting...I agree" "But just for two days...on third day...I am coming to pick her up" Sanyukta said

"Parth I am trusting you..." "Please take care of her..." "Please..." Sanyukta joined her hands

"You dont need to do this Sanyukta..." "Sara is like daughter to me..." "Trust me..." Parth said

"I hope...this plan works out" Randhir said

"It will...usse bas thoda change chaiye..." Parth assured them.

Sanyukta packed Sara's clothes,medicines and other stuffs. Sara was watching Sanyukta from corner of her eyes.

"Sara..." Sanyukta called her

"See...Mumma has packed your medicines and all the other essentials" "I hope you have a good time there" "Parth uncle or Vidushi aunty ko zyada pareshaan mat karna" Sanyukta kissed her forehead

"We are going to miss you terribly" "But its okay...you wished to go to Parth Uncle's house na" "Toh jao..." "Mumma and Dad will come to pick you up after 2 days" "Promise..." "Aapna khayal rakhna baby..." Sanyukta said.

Parth took Sara with him.

"Hello Vidushi...howz Sara?" "what is she doing?" Sanyukta asked over the phone

"Sanyukta...she is fine" "She is sleeping" "Don't worry she had her dinner and medicines before sleep" Vidushi said

"Thanks Vidushi...Thank you so much" Sanyukta said

"No Thanks Sanyukta...she is like daughter to me" "Trust me...she is safe" "Also you will get some rest" "Past few days were hectic for you too" Vidushi said

"Hmmm..." "I'll call again tommorrow" "Take care of her Vidushi" "Take care of her please..." Sanyukta's eyes became moist

"I will....trust me" Vidushi assured her

"Bye...Good Night" Sanyukta said.

"Good Night..." Vidushi said Sanyukta disconnected the call and turned.

Randhir was standing right behind her.
He was smiling looking at her.
She looked down and wiped her tears.

"Don't try to hide those tears in front of me" He said

"No...I am not crying" She said and looked at him

"Yeah! Right...you were not crying" "Thank God Sanyukta...Sara muje pe gayi hai...She isn't a cry baby..rotlu like you" Randhir teased her

"Shut up...." She slapped his shoulders playfully

"She is fine..." Randhir cupped her face

"Hmmm...." She replied.

Randhir kissed her eyes.

"Bas don't cry now..." "Sab thik hoga Sanyukta...bohot jaldi sab thik hoga" He said

"Come..." Randhir held her hand.

He made her lay and he settled beside her on bed.

He turned his face to look at her.
She was lost somewhere.

"Ajeeb ho yaar tum...yaha I am waiting ki tum kuch bologi...hum aaj raat bhar baatien karenge...and you are lost somewhere" Randhir said to grab her attention

"Why?" "Roz toh mujse 2 min baat karne ke liye tumhara paas time nahi hota tha...aaj kya hua hai" She said

"I realised...bohot dino se humne baat nahi ki" He said

"Kya baat karni hai tumhe?" She said

"Humare baare main..." He said

"Kya....?" She said.

He entagled their fingers and moved close to her.

"Sanyukta...Can we forget everything that happened between us in past?" He said Sanyukta blink her eyes

"Can we take a fresh start..." He added She looked away from him.
Her eyes were now sticked to ceiling.

"Oyyye...whats there in ceiling?" "Look at me..." Randhir said

"It is so easy for you to say this Randhir" "Lets forget everything'" "Lets take a new start..." "So easy..." She said

"What about those insults Randhir?" "What about those fights?" She said

Randhir realised what she is saying.

"You never respected me as your wife" "Kept on insulting me..." "Taunting me..." "Mujse jhagada karte the" She said

"And that day...."

*flashback*

It was 11PM and Sanyukta was still not home.
Randhir was worried for her as well as angry on her.
Finally she came.
She was going to their room without even sparing a look at Randhir.

"Sanyukta..." He shouted.

She stopped in the middle.

"What?" "Don't shout Randhir..." "I am not deaf" She replied rudely

"No...you are not deaf...you are blind" "That's why I think you didnt check the time in your watch" He said

"I had a meeting and after that I had to attend team dinner" "Thats why got late" She said

"Ohh...team dinner" "Yeah right...GM of Harshwal Group...." "Don't you remember you have a home, a husband and a child to look after" Randhir taunted her

"I do remember it Randhir" "Now will you just stop this investigations of yours" She said

"Wait..." He went to her and stood in front of her.

"Don't you understand it Sanyukta...that bastard is purposely doing all this" Randhir said

"What?" "Purposely..." "Omg Randhir...such a height of insecurity" "Aryan is my boss...and sometimes...we have to wait till long because of work" Sanyukta said

"Yes right..." "Aaisa konsa kaam hota hai Sanyukta jo working hours ke khatam hone ke baad tak chalta hai" Randhir said

"So you are doubting on me now?" "Wow..." Sanyukta said

"I am not doubting on you...I am doubting on that bastard" Randhir said

"Aryan...his name is Aryan" Sanyukta said

"Whatever...see Sanyukta...kal se...come home on time" "Aagar nahi...toh leave this job" "Atleast don't neglect Sara because of your work you selfish woman" He said

"I know my duties as mother you dont need to teach them to me" Sanyukta said

"Yes ofcourse...an irresponsible careless mother" "You know what Sanyukta...tum humesha se aaisi hi thi" "Selfish...." "I don't know how I fell in love with you and got married" Randhir said

"Even I am suffering Randhir..." "Even I am in search of answer of this questions" Sanyukta said

"Huh!...Whatever...kal se...tum muje time pe ghar pe chaiye" He said

"Order kar rahe ho muje..." She said

"Yes...aaisa hi samaj lo...pati hu tumhara" Randhir said

"Pati ho...bhagwan nahi..." She replied

"You know what Sanyukta...you are impossible..." Randhir said

"And you are worst Randhir" Sanyukta said

"Just because of Sara I am tolerating you" "Aacha hua humara ek hi baacha hai..." "I can handle Sara" "A egoistic person like you...is neither a good husband nor a good father" "Kaise hoge tum ek aache husband or father...uske liye aacha insaan bana padta hai" "I really cant believe this Randhir...you have such a disturb childhood" "You have seen so much in your life....still you are a monster...a worst person" "You havent changed a bit"
"You don't deserve anyone...you deserve to be left alone...like your parents did...and..." before she could complete Randhir slapped her.

"Shut up...just shut up..." "I hate you...I hate you Sanyukta" He pushed her hard He left from there

"How dare you slap me?" "I hate you too..." Sanyukta shouted from behind

*flashback ends*

Randhir left her hand.

"You were right..." "I am worst...I am worst person" "I couldnt be good husband nor a good father" Randhir said and got up from bed

"Randhir...." "Randhir..." She called to stop him but he left the room.
