Next day Randhir came the NGO and went to the meditation room but didn't found anyone there.

"Aare koi nehi hain, Sanyukta vi nehi! Lagta hain picnic ka hangover utra nehi hain aabhi tak." Randhir said in mind and went to the office.

"Aare Krishna tum itni subha subha aah gaye! Mujhe laga ke tired hoge." Bharti ji said surprisingly.

"Tiredness toh Sanyukta ka chehera dekhte hi gayab ho jata hain."  Randhir said in mind.

"What are you talking about Bharti ji, tiredness! Aare I fell much fresh after the picnic." Randhir smiled brightly.

"Yes I can see that, but everyone tired so maine kisiko jagaya nehi aaj." Bharti ji smiled a little.

"Yes I understand, let them get some rest. Tab tak hum humara kaam kar lete hain." Randhir said thus Bharti ji nodded positively. They were talking and started checking the account book when Raghu kaka came there with the estimate.

"Aare Sanyukta ka murti bik gayi, sunegi toh phir khush ho jayegi." Bharti ji said while checking the estimate thus Randhir smiled.

"Haan wo vi pure daam mein." Raghu kaka said take a look of Randhir when he gestured him not to say anything.

"Haan sach mein bahut khush hogi." Randhir said happily. At the breakfast time Bharti ji informed Sanyukta about the statue when Sanyukta hugged her in excitement thus Randhir smiled brightly to saw her happiness.

"Bola tha na ke aab tum sirf smile karogi Sanyukta." Randhir said that in mind. 

"Congratulations Sanyukta ji, suna aapki murti bik gayi." Randhir said came near her.

"Haan krishna ji, wo vi puri keemat mein. I just can't believe it. Dispute hone ke baad vi murti bik gayi wo vi puri keemat mein!" Sanyukta said surprisingly.

"Sanyukta ji dispute murti mein nehi humare aankhon mein hota hain jo sirf bahar ki khubsoorti dekh pati hain lekin mann ki khubsoorti ka keya! Aapne pure mann se uss murti ko banaya tha toh phir wo murti kyu nehi bikega?" Randhin said slowly.

"Bahut geheri baat bol diya aapne Krishna ji, mann ki khubsoorti. Am sure jiss kisi ne vi wo murti kharida hain uska mann bahut khubsoorat hain aur saaf vi." Sanjukta said that when Randhir's heart became heavier and eyes got moist due to happiness.

"Waise iss khushi mein treat nehi dengi?" Randhir asked controlled his emotions.

"Treat?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Haan murti bikne ki khushi mein. It's your first success so it's time to celebration." Randhir said happily When Sanyukta's smile got vanished.

"Krishna ji main chalti hu, mujhe kaam hain." Sanyukta said suddenly.

"But breakfast?" Randhir asked confusingly.

"Bhukh nehi hain." Sanyukta said coldly and left from there leaving a confused Randhir behind when Arpita witnessed everything.

"Sanyukta ko date par leke jana chahate ho?" Arpita asked slowly.

"No not a date. But thought to spend some time with her. But it's okay I can understand." Randhir said sadly.

"Okay let me try once." Arpita said and left too.

Sanyukta came from there and sat down in an empty corner. The word celebration rang in her  mind when she hold her stick hard.

"It's your victory Sanyukta so it's time to celebration." Randhir's word rang into her mind when she pressed her ears.

"Kyu kyu kyu? Kyu meri zindagi badbad karne ke baad vi tumhe chain nehi hain Randhir? Kyu mere dil aur dimaag se jate nehi ho tum? Kyu? Chale jao, just leave me alone!" Sanyukta said furiously when Arpita came there. She becam shocked to saw her like that. 

"Sanyukta what happened to you! Kisse baatein kar rahi ho?" Arpita asked shockingly.

"Arpita, Arpita wo chala kyu nehi jata meri life se! Kyu nasor ban kar mere dil aur dimaag mein aabhi vi chhaya huya hain! Chahata keya hein wo mujhse?" Samyukta asked furiously thus Arpita became shocked.

"Koyn! Tum kiski baat kar rahi ho Sanyukta?" Anpita asked kept her hand on her shoulder when Sanyukta hugged her next.

"Randhir." Sanyukta said and started crying when Arpita froze there.

"Randhir!" Arpita mumbled slowly.

"Haan Randhir. Kyu yaad aata hain wo mujhe Arpita, kyu? Kyu uski kheyal mere dimag se jata nehi? Kyu uski kahi har ek baat itna effect karta hain mujhe? Jab ke mujhe pata hain ke wo sab jhoot tha! I wish uss accident mein aakhon ke saath saath meri memory vi loss ho jati toh phir shayad mujhe itni taqlif nehi hoti. Na wo dhokebaaz yaad aata aur nahi uske diye dhoke yaad aate!" Sanyukta said in between her tears.

"Sanyukta please don't cry, tumhari aankhon mein effect padega. Remember what Dr. Palit Said!" Arpita said and wiped her tears.

"Sabko apne kiye ka saja milta hain and am sure Randhir ko vi jarur milega, yeah phir mill chuka hain!" Arpita said slowly as she spotted Randhir there who was listening them with guilt full eyes.

"But mujhe kiss baat ki saja mill rahi hain baata sakti ho Arpita?" Sanyukta asked when Arpita kept mum.

"Don't worry Sanyukta sab kuch thik ho jayega. Jaise hi kol potential donner mill jayega tumhe tumhari aankhen wapas mill jayegi. We just wait for some months kyu ki usse pehele tumhara surgery risky hoge. But surgery ke baad tum phirse dekh sakogi, ekdam pehele jaisi." Arpita said when Sanyukta's face lit up.

"Saach Arpita, main phirse dekh sakti hu?" Sanyukta asked eagerly.

"Saach Sanyukta." Arpita replied.

"Promise." Sanyukta said hopefully.

"Promise." Randhin said this time thus Sanyukta became shocked to heard him.

"Krishna ji aap?" Sanyukta asked surprisingly.

"Haan main, aur aaj main aapse yeh promise kar raha hu Sanyukta ji ke aap phirse dekh sakengi, wo vi jald. And that's my promise." Randhir said firmly when sanyukta smiled finally.

"Aab chalke breakfast kar lijiye please, cause aapko medicine vi toh leni hain." Randhir requested when Sanyukta became agreed and went for the breakfast.

"Randhir jiss din Sanyukta ko saach pata chalega ke tum uske liye kitni sacrifice kar rahe ho uss din Sanyukta tumhe jarur maaf kar degi." Arpita said when Randhir smiled sadly.

"Arpita aab mera aim sirf aur sirf Sanyukta ko uski aankhen wapas karna hai. Bhale hi Sanyukta mujhe kabhi maaf na kare lekin use uski aankhen jarur milegi. And that's my promise." Randhir said determinedly.

"Arpita thanks for consoling me. Am lucky to have a friend like you. Tumhare aur Parth ki wajase ek baar phirse dosti par biswas karne lagi hu main. Thanks for everything." Sanyukta said as Arpita came to her.

"Thanks toh mujhe tumhe bolna chahiye Sanyukta. Ek toh tumne Parth ko maaf kar diya aur sirf tumhare kahene par Parth shaadi ke liye vi ready ho geya. Am really grateful to you." Arpita said holding her hand.

"Phirse wohi baat Arpita! Aab aagar tumne ek aur baar grateful word kaha na toh phir mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!" Sanyukta faked anger thus Arpita smiled.

"Achchha baba sorry, phir kabhi nahi kahungi, happy!" Arpita said with a smile.

"Nehi. Yeh sorry, thank you, grateful jaise word jab tak bologi mein khush kaise ho sakti hu!" Sanyukta made a face.

"Achchha baba nehi kahungi, aab khush!" Arpita said thus Sanyukta nodded positively.

"But same thing applicable with you too, remember that." Arpita sad thus Sanyukta smiled too. 

"Okay done." Sanyukta said happily.

"Waise ghar mein sab bahut khush honge na, after all shaadi jo hain." Sanyukta said happily.

"Haan so toh hain. Kall raat Parth ne mom dad se mill kar shaadi ke liye haan bola hain, so wo log bahut khush hain ke finally shaadi ho rahi hain." Arpita replied happily.

"Aur tum?" Sanyukta asked.

"Haan main vi bahut khush hu. But.." Arpita stopped in the middle when Sanyukta became confused.

"But kyu Arpita?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Wo actually ek baar shaadi ki rasam start ho jayegi toh phir main aur Parth ek dusre se mill nehi sakenge. Toh phir usse pehele Parth mujhe date par le jana chahata hain but dadi nehi maan rahi hain." Arpita said slowly.

"Lekin kyu?" Sanyukta asked shockingly.

"Wo actually meri dadi purane zamane ki hain, toh phir shaadi se pehele date par jana and all unhen pasand nehi, wo vi aakele. Bol rahi hain ke aagar jana hain toh phir kisi saheli ko saath mein leker jau warna nehi." Arpita said sadly.

"Haan toh phir aapne kisi friend ke saath chali jau, iss mein keya problem hai?" Sanyukta asked surprisingly.

"Problem yeh hai ki yehan par mera koi dost nahi hain Sanyukta. Mostly main bahar hi rahi hu that's why I don't have any friend here." Arpita said sadly.

"Now this is a big problem. Koi nehi hain jisse tum saath mein leke jaa sako?" Sanyukta asked worriedly.

"Hain toh but am not sure ke wo manegi ke nehi? Wo kahi bahar aati jati nehi hain." Arpita said slowly.

"khud ke liye nehi but aapne friend ke liye toh chal sakti hain! Tum ek baar puch kar hi dekho. Keya pata maan jaye." Sanyukta said thoughtfully.

"Okay in that case keya tum humare saath chalogi Sanyukta?" Arpita asked thus Sanyukta became shocked.

"Main? Mujhe laga tum aapne kisi friend ki baat kar rahi ho!" Sanyukta said surprisingly.

"Haan friend ki baat hi toh kar rahi hu. You are my friend now so you can definitely come with us." Arpita said firmly.

"But Arpita tumhari date par mera kya kaam?" Sanyukta asked shockingly.

"Please Sanyukta mana mat karna. Aagar tum raazi nehi hui toh phir dadi vi raazi nehi hongi aur humara date ka swapna bass swapna hi rahe jayega. Please maan jau na, please." Arpita requested thus Sanyukta became agreed.

"Okay aagar mere saath chalne se tum aur Parth date par jaa sakte ho toh phir thik hain." Sanyukta said hesitatingly when Arpita just hugged her.

"Ohh thank you thank you, thank you very much Sanyukta. You are a saviour." Arpita said excitedly.

"Phir se thank you!" Sanyukta said surprisingly.

"Ohh sorry." Arpita said and bite her tongue next.

"Arpita!" Sanyukta groaned a little.

"Aab keya kare, formal logo se mill kar formality karne ki aadat sa pad gayi hain." Arpita said playfully and both laughed together when Randhir smiled too listening them.

"So finally mujhe Sanyukta ke saath aakele kuch time spend karne ko milega." Randhir said that in mind and smiled brightly.
