A week rolled on.

Sara was getting better.

SanDhir took care of her.

Sanyukta had a keen check on Sara's food.

On the otherside Sara was noticing the change in her parents.

They don't fight anymore.

They took care of her very well.

Sara was happy. A sense of trust was building in her heart about her parents.

SanDhir came close.

There relationship was prospering.

In short Shekhawat family was slowly and steadily getting back to together as a happy family.

One fine morning.

"Okay...I am coming" Randhir disconnected the phone

"Kya hogaya?" Sanyukta asked him from behind

"Need to go to office" Randhir said

"Then go na..." Sanyukta hugged him from back

"You want me to go to office...TODAY?" He said

"Work comes first Randhir" She said

"Yeah right...I'll be back soon" He said

"I'll be waiting for you" she said

He kissed her forehead

"Happy marriage anniversary once again" He said

"A very happy marriage anniversary to you too" She pecked his cheek.

SanDhir are celebrating their 8th marriage anniversary today.

8 years? Really? They still can't believe it.

So much happened in this 8 years.

There were ups and downs in their relationship.

It was a roller coaster ride for them.

They have seen happy days and sad days too.

This 8 years was a mixture.

They loved.
They unite.
They fought.
They introspect.
They united again.
That's SanDhir for you.

There was no plan as such for the day.

Randhir was planning for a simple dinner.

Well but Sanyukta had some plans in mind.

For that she was going to market to buy some essentials.

"I am going to supermarket, Randhir" Sanyukta informed Randhir

"Careful Sanyukta..." "Take care of Sara" Randhir said

"Haan don't worry..." She said

"And please take driver with you" "Don't drive...its peak traffic hours" Randhir said

"Haan Randhir...I am not going to drive...taking driver with me" Sanyukta said

"Okay...bye..catch you soon" "Take care" Randhir said

"Take care..." "Bye..." Sanyukta disconnected the call.

"Mumma...what is wedding anniversary?" Sara asked

"On this day...Mumma and Dad got married 8 years back" "Like we have birthdays...anniversary is also a birthday" She said

They reached supermarket.

Sanyukta collected ingredients for cake.

She choosed a shirt for Randhir as a anniversary gift.

She bought hair bands and hair clips for Sara.

"Mumma...I want that" Sara pointed at nutella jar.

"Baby we already have it at home" "Pehle woh finish karte hai then we will buy new one. Okay?" Sanyukta said.

Sara and Sanyukta were waiting at billing counter

"Mumma..." Sara called Sanyukta

"Yes beta..." Sanyukta looked at her

"Toilet..." Sara said.

Sanyukta took her to washroom.

Suddenly the fire alarm buzzed. People started rushing here and there.

A large part of market was under fire.

Sanyukta heard the alarm.

Unfortunately they were in same section of market which caught fire.

Sanyukta picked Sara and rushed out.

She came out of washroom only to find whole corridor under fire.

"Help...somebody help..." Sanyukta shouted for help.

There was no one to listen to her voice.

She covered Sara properly with her dupata.

Sara got scared and started crying.

Sanyukta tried to escape from there. But she failed.

The fire was intense.

She thought of calling Randhir.

She quickly dialed his number.

Randhir's phone buzzed but it was on silent mode.

She again dialed his number but he didn't pick up.

"I have to escape from here" Sanyukta said.

She again tried her luck to escape.

With loads of difficulties she finally managed to cross the corridor.

The fire brigades were already at work.

People were panic and rushing here and there making situation more worst.

Sanyukta came to main area of market.

It was under fire.

She saw many people stuck in fire.

She thought of taking emergency exit but the area was under fire too.

"Mumma..." Sara cried

"Don't cry baacha...Mumma is there na" "Don't get panic..." Sanyukta said

Meanwhile Randhir got a chance to check his phone.

He saw 5 miss calls from Sanyukta.

He called her back.

"Randhir...Randhir please come here" Sanyukta said in trembling voice.

"Sanyukta what happened?" Randhir was afraid

"Randhir...we are stuck in super market" "Yaha Aag lag gayi hai" Sanyukta managed to inform him

"What...??" Randhir shouted from other side

"Okay...I am coming.." "You dont get panic..." "I am coming" Randhir said

But the call got disconnected.

Sanyukta tried every possible attempts to get out of the area.

A huge pillar fell down in front of her eyes which scared her to the hell.

Randhir reached the venue as soon as possible.

The fire man were not allowing any one to get inside.

Some dead bodies were brought from the second emergency exit of the market.

It scared Randhir.

"I want to get inside" Randhir told one of the fire men.

"No sir we won't allow..." "Please move back" the guy said

"I want to get inside...my wife and daughter are stuck inside" Randhir said

"Many people are stuck inside..." "Please move back and let us do our work" The person pushed Randhir.
