Hearing her loud scream, Aryan turned his head to look at her. He got distracted and Randhir took the perfect chance to grab the gun from him. Kishore and Vidhushi stood at the edge of their seat. Aryan looked baffled at Randhir who is now pointing the gun at him. Sanyukta relaxed a little.

'Get lost before I shoot you.' Randhir threatened him. Aryan smirked.

'As if. If you have guts, then shoot.' He provoked him. Sanyukta got slightly worried, she knew Randhir won't shoot but if Aryan provokes him, he might. Aryan will die also Randhir will go to jail and Sanyukta doesn't want either of that. So, she stepped in between. Kishore called her, but she doesn't respond.

'Randhir give me the gun.' She said.

'Stay out of this Sanyukta.' Randhir said seriously but she was adamant

'Randhir.' She said sternly. Randhir looked at her and then behind her shoulder at Aryan and sighed giving her the gun. Sanyukta tossed the gun into the luggage again and turned to Aryan. Randhir was offended while Kishore protested as Sanyukta held Aryan's hand and took him out of the room.

'Papa, I know what I am doing.' She assured her father. Kishore was hesitant but when Vidhushi assured him too, he let them go.

*********************************

Sanyukta took Aryan to the backyard and made him stand by the swing. Aryan looked at her while she glared at him.

'What is all this, Aryan? Gun? And you were planning to kill Randhir. Are you out of your mind.' She scolded him. Aryan lowered his gaze and she took a step towards him, - 'Aryan,' – Her tone soft, - 'I know you are upset because I hid the whole "being married" part but trust me that was what I thought was best, then. I didn't want to dwell on the past, I wanted to move on from there and focus on Mars mission. You know, I like you and I will never hurt you, Aryan. Still? And when I explained you everything you didn't even believe me.' She sounded hurt.

Aryan looked at her, he felt guilty (but his face remained expressionless) and he shook his head.

Sanyukta sighed and looked away. She stared at the garden as she spoke, - 'I am very disappointed in you, Aryan.' She looked back at him, tears glistening in her eyes.

Aryan took a step towards her, but she stuck out her palm, - 'I thought you were mature and sorted, more than Randhir. But-' Exasperatedly, she looked away again. Aryan had tears in his eyes, he felt guilty of behaving so recklessly. He took a step and held her shoulders. Sanyukta closed her eyes letting tears fall. Aryan extended his hand but before he could Sanyukta wiped her tears.

'I am sorry, Sanyukta. I shouldn't have behaved so irrationally.' He apologized sincerely. Sanyukta looked at him. He nodded. 'I promise I will not come in between you two and your happiness again. I am sorry.' He said.

Sanyukta nodded but then she added. 'I don't want you to be out of my life but just... you know what I mean.'

Aryan nodded, - 'I understand.' He said. Sanyukta smiled little, she was about to hug him when Kishore came looking worriedly for his daughter, - 'Sanyukta.'

She looked away from Aryan and smiled at her father. He is relieved to see her in one piece. He looked angrily at Aryan. While he looked apologetically. Kishore looked away and spoke to Sanyukta, - 'How much longer is this man going to stay here.'

Before Sanyukta could say anything, Aryan spoke. 'I am leaving now, Mr. Agarwal.'

Kishore looked at him sternly. Aryan looked sadly at Sanyukta and walked away. Sanyukta looked at Kishore.

'Papa, Randhir?'

Kishore smiled little and placed his palm on Sanyukta's shoulder, - 'He is fine, Vidhushi is with him.' He said. Sanyukta felt slightly relieved, she looked away. Kishore kept looking at her and added, - 'But you can go meet him too.' Sanyukta looked at him and he nodded. He held her palm. 'If you will be with him, he will feel better.'

Super shocked, Sanyukta blinked at him. Kishore smiled nodding.

'Thank you, Papa. You are the best.' Sanyukta said and happily hugged him. Kishore is happy seeing his daughter smiling. He hugged her back. Sanyukta broke the hug and happily walked out of the garden area. Kishore watched her go with a broad smile on his face.
