Days were passing by.. And with each passing day SanDhir's bond was getting stronger...
After their half friendship Sanyukta never ignored Randhir...
Even she became his sole support system and inspiration..
Her alcoholic nature didn't change but now she drank in their apartment instead of those bars and pubs...
But no matter how much drunk she was she never forgot to take a check on Randhir...
Now a days they even went for marketing together..
And about Sanyukta's 'don't cook for me' & 'don't touch my belongings' rules were long forgotten...
Now mostly Randhir cooked for both of them and arranged Sanyukta's messed up things..
While doing that every day he wished if he could arrange her messed up life as well..
Randhir had become 'the perfect sarbagun sampanya bahu' of SanDhir's adobe..
Sometimes he tried to learn more about Sanyukta and asked her about her life but always he got same answers that she was an alcoholic, alcohol and all types of cigarettes were her love and only family and her hobby was getting drunk all the time..
If he ever tried to force her with his questions Sanyukta's one hard glare used to shut his mouth..
She was too adamant to spill the beans..

A month later...

Randhir came back to their apartment after submitting his one short story for a xyz weekly magazine...
He sat on the couch resting his head on the head rest of it...
His eyes were closed and he was thinking what Parth said him a few minutes ago..

Flashback..

"thanks bro.. Tu nah humesa sahi time pe sahi jagah pe hota hain.." said Randhir getting into Parth's car..
"mention not bro..." Parth started the engine of the car..
"par tu office hours yahan (xyz magazine publisher office) kar kya raha tha..??" he asked..
"office ke kaam se hi aaya tha.. Woh humare company ke marketing strategy ko leke ek interview tha.." Parth said concentrating on the road..
Randhir just hummed in response..

After a few minutes of silence Randhir spoke.. "bro hum jab college me the tab toh tu bolta tha Sanyukta bohot shant, sanskari, friendly, soft spoken, shy hain.. Logon me jitne acche qualities ho sakta hain woh sab hain Sanyukta me.."

Parth frowned.. "haan toh jo sach hain wahi bola tha maine..
Aur waise bhi Sanyu ne tere saath aisa kya kar diya ke tu aisa bol raha hain??
Sab se zyada support toh wohi karti hain nah tujhe.. Aise toh friendship nehi karti woh kissise par teri dost bani nah woh..
Tu jab chahe..jo chahe share kar sakta hain usse.. Kuch bolti hain woh.. Nehi nah??
Hamesa patiently sunti hain teri baat.. Fir kya problem hain tujhe..??" Parth started defending his best friend without understanding Randhir's word..
Well he knew that sometime Sanyukta behaved rudely..
But then even he just can't tolerate anyone saying any negative thing about his best friend..

"are Parth.. Sun toh.. Tu mujhe galat samajh raha hain...
Even I know Sanyu is a sweetheart.. She is my sunshine.. I'm blessed to have a friend like her..
Main uske bare me kuch bura bolana toh kya soch bhi nehi sakta..
Main toh bas yahi janna chahta hu that why she veils her sweet and caring nature under her rudeness and arrogance.." Randhir justified himself..

Parth felt guilty for his abrupt judgment..
"sorry bro.. I was just being possessive and protective about her..
More than a friend she is my little sister..
You know no brother can tolerate a single word against his sister.." he apologized..

"that's fine bro.. But please tell nah why she became like this.." Randhir asked impatiently..
"it's a mystery bro.. No one knows what happened to her suddenly..
The girl who used to hate the mere smell of these alcohols and cigarettes and consider them as shits has now make them her dearest companions.." sadness and disappointment was clearly visible on Parth's face..

"main samjha nehi.. Suru se bol.." Randhir voiced his confusion..
"I was six year old when my mother died and police or may be someone like that.. I don't remember yaar.. Bohot chota tha main.." said Parth...
"it's okk.. Age bol.." Randhir chipped..
Parth continued.. "haan.. I was six when they sent me to the orphanage as my mother was a single parent..
There I met four year old Tanya.. Whole day she used to babbled about Sanyukta her best friend..
But Sanyukta was no where in the orphanage..
It was my first Sunday there and that day first time I saw Sanyukta.. She came there with her parents...
The orphanage was their..
Sanyukta Agarwal.. Daughter of the famous industrialist kishore Agarwal..
But their money, wealth, status never came in between their down to earth nature and them..
Tanya was Sanyukta's best friend inspite of being an orphan..
Very Sunday Sanyukta used to come with her parents.. They always celebrated their birthdays and other festivals with us..
Sanyu ke mamma papa hum sabse itna pyaar karte the ke abhi mamma papa ki kami mehsus hi nehi hoti thi..
Badi mamma bade papa bolte the hum unhe..
Mera ek saal kaise bit gaya yahan pata hi nehi chala..
It was Sanyu's 5th birthday..
She came there early morning that day with her driver..
I asked her about badi mamma and bade papa.. She said they went to a business meeting and would directly come there before the party started and for now she would do masti with us..
Soon evening crept in.. Then party time got over.. Night appeared.. But badi mamma aur bade papa nehi aaye..
Sanyu chup chap baith ke intezar karti rahi.. You know Randhir royi nehi woh.. Shant thi puri raat.. Bharosa tha usse ke uske mamma papa aayenge..
Par tut gaya uska bharosa.. Nehi aaye woh log.. Kabhi nehi aaye.. (his voice cracked)
Next day police aayi aur le gayi usse..
Hume kuch bhi samajh nehi aaya ke ho kya raha hain..
Doo din baat woh fir aayi.. Aapne saman ke saath.. Amma boli aaj se Sanyu humare saath yahan rahegi.. (tears started streaming down from his eyes and he wiped them away)
Hum nah bohot khush the ke hum sab saath rahenge.. Fir hume pata chala ke badi mamma aur bade papa ka accident ho gaya hain.. Government ne Agarwals' kissi business partner ko puri company handover kar diya.. Uska 40% income Sanyu ke naam bank me transfer hoti rahi.. And according to the will bade pappa ki sari property Sanyu ke naam pe thi aur uske 18 hone tak government take care karegi property ka..
Sanyu ke kissi bhi relative ne usse nehi apnaya kyun ki return me ushe Kuch nehi milta.. Toh Sanyu aa gayi humare saath rehne..
I know bade papa ke kabhi bhi nehi socha tha uske banaye huye orphanage me ek din unke beti ko hi rehna padega..
(sighed) par kismat..
Amma ne Sanyu ke liye special room arrange kiya tha.. Par Sanyu ne mana kar diya..
Woh humare saath humare jaise hi rehti thi..
She is a gem.. Humesa sab ki madat karna.. Har situation me saath dena.. Bado ko respect karna.. It was our Sanyu..
Pehle chatter box thi.. Par us hatse ke baad chup si ho gayi..
Main, Sanyu aur Tanya best friend the.. Hum nah sab kuch saath saath karte the.. Humare saath toh woh hasti, khelti, gaati aur nachti bhi thi..
Fir hum bade huye.. Sanyu nah rank 1 thi school me.. Usse scholarship mila tha aur woh Bangalore chali gayi MBA karne..
Aur main aur Tanya yahi Mumbai me reh gaye.. Fir tu mila college me hume..
chaar (4) saal baad Sanyu ke tarha dikhne wali Sanz naam ki ek ladki aayi.. (he chuckled sadly) Sanyu toh kahi gum si gayi hain..
Yahi puri kahani hain bro..(he looked at Randhir)
Sanyu mere se bohot zyada capable hain.. Fir bhi main senior manager hu aur woh boss ki PA..
Bangalore me sirf humari Sanyu ki gum nehi huyi.. Uska sapna bhi gum ho gaya..
Bade papa ke jaise businessman banne ka sapna...
Hum ne bohot try kiya kya huya tha wahan pata karne ki.. Usne kabhi kuch bola hi nehi..
Upar se dhamki diya ki agar humne zid kiya toh friendship tod degi..
Koi nehi hain uska.. Agar hum se bhi khud ko dur kar degi toh kya hoga uska.. Adhe se zyada time toh hosh me bhi nehi rehti.. Issiliye humne fir kabhi zor zabardasti nehi kiya usse kuch bolne ki.." Parth ended..

Flashback end..

"Sanyu gumi nehi hain Parth.. Woh bas Sanz ke aar me chupi huyi hain... (remembered about their celebration at Juhu beach)
par kyun...???" Randhir thought in mind..
opening his eyes he said to himself "reason jo bhi ho.. Main Sanyu ko puri tarha se wapis lake rahunga.. Miss. Sanz tum toh aapni ulti ginti suru kardo..."

Longest chappy till now..
Now I want long comments and lot's of vote..
