Sanyu was sleeping soundly by hugging d dolls when her slumber broke in between as riya started crying.

Riya's clothes were wet.

Sanyu immediately took out some baby wipes n wiped her carefully taking out her clothes. ..

She then dressed her wid new sets of clothes n lull her to sleep...

She kissed her both d babies n looked at rds side...
It was empty...

She looked at d watch n it was midnight 2.00..

"Itni raat ko kaha gaye??"  Sanyu thought n got up from d bed... straightening her kurti n patiyala. ..

She arranged an army of pillows to protect her sleeping princess...

She checked upon dem one last tym n went out in search of randhir....

She found randhir sitting in d lawn on d swing looking at sky...

She slowly tip toed towards him n silently sat besides him on d swing...

Randhir sensed someone besides him n turned to see sanyu...

"Are u not feeling sleepy"??she asked him

"No" he replied after some time ...

"Harshita ki yaad aa ri h"??she asked him.

He shook his head n looked at d sky n thn caressed a photo frame which has his family pic...
he , harshita n dolls...

It was last pic of harshita clicked in hospital before she died....

"U loved her  alot right"?? Sanyu again chipped...

"No I love her n will love her till m alive....she is my heart..." Randhir replied still looking at d pic...

"U know sanyukta. ..m still alive bcz of doll warna main kab ka marr" he was cut in between by sanyu

"Plz dont say like this " She said softly gripping his hand in fear

He blinked his tears...n took a deep breath...

' u know...jab tum office mei aayi thi mujhse milne....I was completely shocked....
I mean ...I thought dat m hallucinating. ..
But then when I hugged u ..I realised dat harshita is alive....
But still I didn't got d solace , dat warmth ,dat peace when I used to hug harshita. ..
I felt something different. ...
But dat tym my heart subsided dat thoughts n made me believe dat u r my harshi....
I was really very happy. ..
I was on cloud 9.....but god hd oder plans for me..." a tear dropped on d frame

"But after dat when I got to know dat u r not my harshi....my world crashed down...."
I was broken again....
I felt bad for my babies....
Again dey will b away from der mother....
I cried whole day sanyukta. ..on my fate....my luck.....!!!
Everything got snatched away in a blink...!!.in a blink!!!...."
wid this randhir's damn broke n he sobbed keeping his head on her shoulder. ..wetting her kurti....

She juz squeezed his hand telling him dat no matter wat she is der for him....

For a moment sanyu forget her own pain n unknowingly her eyes too became blurr due to tears....

Dat night randhir cried hs heart out fr d first tym after harshita's death...

He never shared his pain wid his mother or father but today he felt dat someone was der to hear him , to soothe him , to wipe hs tears , to understand his pain....

Sanyu wiped his eyes after he ws relaxed....

"M sorry" he detached his frame frm her body after realising der position .

"It's ok" She said...

"It's better to share ur pain than to keep it in ur heart...."
she said looking at rd...
"Dard baatne se kam nii hota but ek satisfaction milta h ki haan someone is der to hear my pain"
She added n looked at sanyu wid a faint smile

"Life is always unfair....
It never works according to our wish....
We r juz a mere puppet who lives accordingly. .."She sighed n looked down.

Randhir kept his hand on her shoulder.

"U r blessed wid two daughters. ...
Don't think low of urself" rd chipped knowing wat was she gonna say further.

She wiped her tears n looked at randhir...

"Hmm....Pehle mujhe nii pata tha wat means being a mother....
aur shayad kabhi pata bhi nii chalta ki maa hona kya hota h....!!!
But thanks to my dolls who gave me d feeling of motherhood. ..!!
In juz two days dey hd became an integral part of my life...!!
Thanks randhir  for marrying a girl like me....."her voice chocked ...

"Thank u harshita!!. .."sanyu caressed d frame ....
"tumhari vajah se I got a new life....
feeling of being mother....
though I had not kept dolls in my womb for nine months....
but I promise u harshita I will take care of ur dolls like mine....
I will never ever let thm feel dat dey r not a part of me.....
I will love dem like my own....
.I will love dem more than my life....promise u harshita. ..promise u....."....
