Sanyukta was crying uncontrollably unaware of the fact that there was an another soul dying in own guilt. Randhir was came to visit her when he heard her words. He still stood there drowned in tears unable to wiped them and dying thousands death with her each and every words. He takes his steps back and came out from that corridor, he sat on a bench and covered his face with his palms.

"What I did! Why....why I did this to her! I'm sorry....I'm so sorry Sanyukta..." He was sobbing badly when Parth came there and kept a hand on his shoulder. Randhir look up and saw him.

"Parth....see what I did, what I did to her! I snatched her most precious thing. I....I snatch her eyes, I made her blind, I turned her into a helpless girl from a confident one." He was cried badly when Parth sat beside him.

"Randhir I know you made a huge mistake once but you felt guilty for that and trying to rectify your mistake." Parth said slowly.

"That's not enough Parth." Randhir replied between his tears.

"Randhir tu guilty feel kar raha hain, I know that, your tears said that how much you are dying for that one mistake, aur Randhir pastava aagar dil se ho na toh Bhagaban vi uss galti ko maaf kar deta hain!" He assured him.

"Lekin meri galti bahut baadi hain Parth, Sanyukta mujhe kabhi maaf nehi karegi!" He shook his head.

"Main jab vi aapna aankhein bandh karta hu mujhe wo incident dikhai deti hain. Sanyukta ka wo darra huya chahera dikhai deta hain, usski chikhe sunai deta hain. I felt so helpless Parth. Mujhe aapne aapse ghin aati hain. I hate myself Parth, I hate myself." Randhir hugged Parth and crying continuously.

"Randhir aabhi yeh sab mat soch, tu yeha Sanyukta ko help karne aaya hain na, uss bare mein soch." Parth said patted his back.

"Main Sanyukta ko keya help karunga aare main toh khud itna helpless hu ke usse aapna aasli pehechan vi nehi bata sakta, Sanyukta darr se hi maar jayegi....aaisa haal kar diya hain maine usska!" Randhir said in a weak voice.

"Randhir tune aagar aapna identity chupaya hain toh usske pichhe ek reason hain, aur iss baar tera irada galat nehi hain." Parth said holding his shoulder.

"But Parth jhoot toh jhoot hi hota hain na, maine pehele vi usse dhoka diya hain aur aabhi vi wohi karne jaa raha hu!" He was all broken again heard Sanyukta's those painful words.

"Randhir jo jhoot kisiki zindegi bachaye wo jhoot hazar saach se behatar hain, tune yeh decision liya hain toh aab pichhe mat haat. Sanyukta ko iss waqt ek sachhe dost ki bahut jarurat hain! Usse teri jarurat hain." Parth said in a firm voice thus Randhir looked at him.

"Sanyukta ko jitni meri jarurat hain usse kahi jyada mujhe usski jarurat hain Parth. Jab tak Sanyukta aapni normal life mein wapas nehi aati tab tak main aapne uss guilt se bahar nehi aah payunga, aur mera guilt tab tak kam nehi hogi jab tak Sanyukta mujhe maaf na kar de. Aur yeh main sirf aur sirf aapne dost ke liye karunga, usski uss muskan ke liye karunga jo meri wajase kahi kho geyi hain, main usska wo muskan wapas le aayunga, I promise." Randhir said this with a determination and get up with a new Hope.

                             * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta stopped at a time as tears refused to came out. She stopped crying and wiped her tears and get up from the bench. She take steps to go when her leg stuck with a pot and she lost her balance. She was about to fall just then a strong pair of hands hold her carefully.

"Samval kar!" Randhir said holding her. Sanyukta was shivered again heard his voice.

"Ko...koyn?" She asked shockingly.

"Ma...main Krishna!" Randhir replied hesitantly when helped her to stand properly.

"Sanyukta....yeh mera friend Krishna, tum subha mili thi na isse!" Parth covered up quickly.

"Aare Parth....tum kab aaye?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"Bass aabhi aabhi, Krishna aane wala tha toh usske saath aah geya, socha tumse vi mill lunga!" Parth replied slowly.

"Parth tum kyu baar baar yeha aate ho! Maine tumhe kitni baar mana kiya hain yeha aane se, phir vi!" She asked roughly.

"Sanyukta main toh bass yeha se gujar raha tha, toh socha tumse mill lu." Parth said hesitantly.

"Tum subha vi toh mujhse mile thay na Parth!" This time she asked softly.

"Sanyukta main toh bass..." He was short of words.

"Dekho Parth, jo kuch vi huya uss mein tumhari koi galti nehi thi, that was an accident jo kisi ke vi saath ho sakta hain....so don't feel guilty, okay!" She forwarded her hand to touch his one when Parth hold that.

"But Sanyukta main kaise guilty feel na karu when I'm the culprit?" Randhir lowered his head to heard this.

"Parth please!" Sanyukta pleaded.

"Okay." Parth replied.

"Aare Sanyukta tumhe pata hain Krishna aaj se yeh NGO join kar raha hain!" Parth changed the topic.

"Haan subha suna tha innhe didi se baat karte huye." She replied.

"Haan Bharti ji ne kaha ke main aaj se hi join kar sakta hu, iss liye main aah geya." This time Randhir replied.

"Waise kafi baada hain aap logo ka yeh NGO." Randhir said.

"Haan, maine vi feel kiya hain, kafi baada hain yeh NGO."

Reality stuck Randhir as he heard this, she feels everything as she can't able to see anything anymore! He gulped hard.

"Sanyukta tum kahi jaa rahi thi?" Parth asked to avoid the situation.

"Haan wo garden mein, plants ko pani dena hain." She replied.

"If you don't mind, main vi aapke saath chalu, aapki help karne?" Randhir asked hesitantly.

"Haan Sanyukta tum Krishna ko saath le lo, wo yeha aaya hi hain tumhari help karne ke liye....I mean sabka help karne." Parth tried to convinced her.

"Nehi Parth, mujhe kisiki help ki jarurat nehi hain, I'm okay." She replied slowly.

"Sanyukta ji....aap please hesitate mat kijiye, main yeha aaya hi hu aap sabko help karne ke liye, aap sabka friend banne ke liye." Randhir said hopefully.

"F-R-I-E-N-D!" Sanyukta spell each alphabet of it.

"Haan friend, aapka....aap sabka." Randhir said eagerly.

"I'm sorry Krishna ji, but mujhe friend ki koi jarurat nehi. I don't need a friend. I don't want a friend. Not anymore!" She whispered that and started leaving when Randhir take a sigh of disappointment.

"Don't give up, give her some time." Parth said to him.

"I don't give up, I know I have to go in a long way to get back her confidence and I'm ready for it." Randhir said with determination.

                              * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta was watering the plant's all wetting the end of her saare when someone came and hold the water pot properly.

"Koyn!" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Ji main....Krishna." Randhir replied.

"Krishna ji maine kaha na ke mujhe aapka help nehi chahiye, toh phir aap kyu aaye! Mujhe aapse koi friendship nehi karni aur nahi aapki help chahiye." She said coldly.

"Dekhiye Sanyukta ji mujhe galat mat samjhiye but aapki help karna mera duty hain, aap mujhse friendship nehi karna chahati toh mat kijiye but aap mujhe meri duty karne se nehi rok sakti so better cooperate." He said unusually rudely cause he don't want to show his care and worry for her. Just then Bharti ji came there.

"Ladkiya yeh Krishna ji hain, innhone aaj se humara NGO join kiya hain, namaste bolo innhe." All gritted him.

"Hello." Randhir also gritted them.

"Ji dekhiye main yeha pe neya hu toh aap sab aapna aapna naam bataiye please." Randhir said thus everyone told their name. After the session of introduction Randhir started them helping in gardening.

"Aachha ma'am yeha par jitni saari girls hain wo keya sab by birth blind hain?" Randhir asked Bharti ji in her cabin.

"Ji haan, but Sanyukta ne ek hadse mein aapni aankhein kho diya hain." Bharti ji said thus he remembered that horrible night once again.

"Krishna ji?" She called him when he was lost somewhere. Parth shook him thus he came back to his senses.

"Hmm....that means Sanyukta Agarwal is a special case aur usse extra guidance ki jarurat hain." He said.

"Yes, she have not habituated with this sudden changes, poor girl." Randhir's heart winced.

"But usse dheere dheere aadat paad jayegi iss andhere ki, aur phir yeha usse sahara mill jayega zindegi guzar ne ki!" Bharti ji said.

"Usse sahare ka nehi saath ki jarurat hain, aur main usska saath dene hi aaya hu!" Randhir blurted out when Bharti ji looked at him confusingly.

"Dekhiye ma'am Parth se sab kuch sunne ke baad maine yeh NGO join kiya hain specially Sanyukta ke liye, usse ek normal life dene ke liye but don't worry I won't ignore my duty for others also." Randhir replied.

"But aap Sanyukta pe itna interest kyu le rahe hain, keya wo aapki kuch laagti hain?" Bharti ji asked surprisingly.

"Ji wo..." Randhir was stammered when Parth said.

"Actually Bharti ji jabse Sanyukta ka accident meri car se huyi hain tabse main ek guilt mein jee raha hu, so as a friend he tried to help me to come out from that guilt, aur issi liye wo yeha aaya hain." Parth replied holding Randhir's hand.

"Ohh I see, aachha laga yeh dekh kar ke duniya mein aabhi vi insaniyat aur dosti jaisi cheeze baki hain." Heard this Randhir lowered his lashes in shame as he thought the lady doesn't know he can't deserved such praise.

"So aap keya karna chahate ho aab?" Bharti ji asked.

"Yoga." Randhir replied.

"Yoga?" Bharti ji asked confusingly.

"Ji ma'am yoga, Sanyukta ke dil mein jo darr hain wo jab tak nehi nikal jata tab tak wo normal nehi hogi, aur yoga se aachha keya hain body and mind ko control karne ke liye!" Randhir replied thus she nodded positively.

"Hmm, I think you are right Mr. Krishna."

"So please inform all the girls that I'll learn them yoga from tomorrow." Randhir said and get up.

                              * * * * * * * * *

"Yoga! Kabhi kiya vi hain life mein jo suddenly yoga teacher baan geya?" Parth asked as they came out from there.

"Parth boarding ki unn 4-5 saalo mein kuch aur sikhu yeah na sikhu meditation aachhe se sikh geya hu." Randhir replied with a sad smile.

"Hmm, waise tera idea aachha hain, all the best." He shows him thumbs up.

"Let's go." Parth start the car and said when he glanced at the NGO once then sat inside of the car.

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

So how was the part friends? Did you like it or not?

So Randhir join the NGO as a faculty member just because of Sanyukta. Will he able to make it? Will he fix her self confidence again? Will he able to make her normal again? To know stay tuned.
