Randhir was ashamed of himself. He had nothing to say. He was guilty.

He was about to go but she held his hand.

"Sanyukta let me go..." He said

She entagled their fingers.

"Sanyukta let me go...." "Please..." He requested her

Sanyukta came forward and hugged him from back.

He tried to get out of her grip but she held him tightly.

"Sanyukta...please..." He said

She moved her face a place a kiss on his back.

"Sanyukta...." He jerk off her hands and left from there.

Randhir came to Sara's room.

He sat down on floor thinking about various incidents that took place in their life. He was guilty.

He doubted on Sanyukta. Thou somewhere he knew she can never do that. But thats when his mind overpowered his heart. And that happened many times in past too.

Sanyukta came to Sara's room.

"Leave me alone Sanyukta..." He said

She didn't listen to him.

"I said leave me alone..." He said

She went and sat next to him.

He was about to get up but she pulled his hand and didnt let him go away from her.

She rested her head on his shoulder.

She rubbed her palm on his heart.

"Main janti hu...tum bol nahi paoge" "And you don't need to say anything" She said

Randhir's eyes became watery.

"Tumhare bina kuch kahe...main samaj sakti hu tumhe" She said

"Sorry...." He said in low voice. His eyes held guilt. and regret.

"I don't need your sorry" She said

"Sorry Sanyukta..." "I am sorry" He caged her into him.

She hugged him back.

"Don't love me so much Sanyukta?" "I don't deserve it" He said

"I can ask you the same thing....don't love me so much Randhir" She said

"Yeh mera Randhir hai jise maine pyaar kiya hai" "Tum kabhi perfect nahi the...not that expected you to be perfect" "Tum humesha se aaise the...and I have loved and I love this Randhir" 

"Your words never match your eyes"  "Whatever happened between us...we both were at equal faults" "But in spite of that...we still love each other" She said

She looked at him.

"I love you Sanyukta..." He said

"I love you more..." She said

They smiled

Randhir placed Sanyukta on bed.

He laid beside her and turned her to face to him.

He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes in response.

Randhir took her lips into hers and started sucking her lower lip.

She responded him fully.

They were kissing each other after so long time.

The kiss got deepen and passionate as time passed.

"I love you..." Randhir mumbled in between the kiss.

She smiled and locked her hands around his neck.

Randhir rolled her on him and his head landed on Grumpy's lap.

The kiss got broken.

They both laughed.

"Grumpy hume dekh raha tha" She said

"Grumpy is really a GRUMPY" Randhir said

They laugh in union

"You remember this picture Randhir" Sanyukta pointed at a cute picture of Sara

"Yes of course...see her face smeared with chocolate" Randhir chuckled

"My god...that day was..." "Itni shaitaan hai na tumhari beti Randhir" She said

"Aacha...shaitaani kare toh meri beti..." He said

"Of course..." She giggled

"Aacha now look at this picture" "Sara's first cycle..." "She was so happy that day...."

"And this picture...look at my baby"

"Bathing here is tough job Randhir..."

"Baap re...."

Sanyukta was talking while Randhir was listening to her words and looking at cute pictures of Sara.

Sanyukta fitted herself on Randhir's lap.

Randhir held her tightly.

"See this picture...my baby is looking like princess in this frock" Sanyukta said

"She is my princess...." Randhir said

"You remember this picture Sanyukta..." Randhir pointed at picture where Sanyukta was carrying Sara in her arms.

There cheeks were touching each other.

And THOSE PRECIOUS SMILES.

"This is best picture of you both..." Randhir said

"The two important ladies of my life" Randhir said

Randhir clicked the picture in his iPhone and set the picture as his wallpaper.

"And this picture..." Sanyukta pointed at the picture of them.

A very cute picture of Sanyukta,Randhir and Sara.

Tears came into her eyes.

"When will we be happy again Randhir?" "When will our Sara come back to us in real sense...?" She asked

"Very soon..." "Very soon Sanyukta..." Randhir kissed her head.

"I can't see her like this Randhir" Sanyukta said

"It hurts..." Randhir said

"But...everything will fine soon" "See we have resolved our internal issues" "We have won half of the battle" "Very Soon Sara will start trusting us again" "Very soon....we will be a HAPPY FAMILY like this again" Randhir pointed at the picture.

Morning arose.

Sanyukta wanted to get up but Randhir had his strong grip over her.

"Randhir...utho...muje jana hai" Sanyukta said

"hmmm...." Randhir opened his eyes

"Leave me...I have to go..." She said

"Hmmm..." He caged her again in his arms

"Aare...." "Randhir...chodo muje..." she struggled to get out of his grip.

"Randhir..." She requested him

"Aacha jao..." He left her.

After sometime.

"No...for few days I am working from home" Randhir said over the phone.

"Yes...I'll check the details and get back to you soon" He disconnected the call

He turned and saw Sanyukta getting ready.

He whistle looking at her

"Kya baat hai....aaj sari..." He said

"Hmmm...maan kiya..." She said

"Shaam ko we'll go to pick Sara" "Parth has invited us for dinner" Randhir said

"Hmmm...I know...Vidushi se baat hui meri" Sanyukta said

"So...what should we do for the whole day?" He said

"I am planning to re-arrange Sara's room" She said

Randhir rolled his eyes

"And you have to help me" She added

"Okay..." He replied

"Why?" "You had some other plans" She went to her

"No...nothing" He said

"Aab bolo na..." She said

"Yes..I had a plan in my mind" "Lunch pe jate...kahi ghoomne jate..." "But that's okay..." He said

She smiled widely.

"Rearranging room won't take much time" "Phir uske baad jayenge..." She said

Randhir smiled.

"I know this privacy is much needed" "Spending time with each other is important..." She said

"Hmmm...lets rearrange Sara's room first..." He said

"Chalo..."

They both went to Sara's room.

Sanyukta rearranged Sara's wardrobe while Randhir was arranging her study table and book shelf.

Randhir opened Sara's drawing book.

She made beautiful drawings.

One of them was a drawing of a mother,father and daughter.

Randhir's lips curved into a smile.

The picture indicated them.

"Sanyukta-Randhir-Sara" was written below the picture.

"Sanyukta come here...." Randhir called Sanyukta to show her the drawing.

"Kya hua?" She came to him

"See this drawing made by Sara..." "Its so beautiful..." Randhir showed her the drawing

It brought tears into her eyes.

"She wished for a happy family Randhir..." "This drawing means a lot" "My baby..." Sanyukta hugged the drawing book and shed some tears.

"Sanyukta stop crying now..." "We have to be strong" "Please..." Randhir consoled her.

Sanyukta turned the page of drawing book.

The next page was blank.

She again turned a page.

The next page was blank again.

Sanyukta was about to keep the drawing book on the desk when a piece of paper fell down from it.

It was letter written by Sara

"Today...there was annual gathering in my school" "I had participated in drawing competition" "I won the first prize"

"All my friends came with their parents " "But I was alone...only Dadu came with me not my parents" "When teacher announced my name as winner...only Dadu was there to clap for me"

"My Mumma and Dad don't have time for me"

"They don't play with me"

"They don't check my homework"

"They don't talk to me"

"They don't love me"

"I am not their baby..."

"God...please take me away with you"

- Sara Shekhawat

"Randhir...yeh..." Sanyukta and Randhir both were shocked after reading the letter.

The piece of letter fell down from Sanyukta's hand.

"Randhir...Sara..." "This letter..." Sanyukta cried

"Randhir...did you read the last line...." "God take me away with you..." "Randhir...you getting it..." "Usne yeh kyu likha..."

"Randhir...she..." "She is small...usse yeh sab...Ohh god.."

"I hate myself...."

I hate myself..."

"I am very bad"

Sanyukta broke down completely

"Sanyukta...humse bohot badi galati hui hai..." Randhir said

"Randhir...usse kuch hogaya toh" "You read the last line na..." "Randhir...Randhir lets go to Parth's house and bring her back" "Randhir....Sara ko kuch hogaya toh" Sanyukta said

"Kuch nahi hoga Sara ko" "Hum kuch nahi hone denge usse" "Sanyu kta...she dont know the meaning of that line Sanyukta" "Usne aaise hi likha..diya hoga" "Trust me...she is safe and nothing will happen to her" Randhir said

"I can't live without her Randhir" Sanyukta cried

"Nothing will happen...please don't get panic.." "Please Sanyukta" "She didnt mean it..." "Trust me Sanyukta...Sara will be with us soon"

"I promise you" Randhir said
