Parth was driving the car when Randhir was lost in his thoughts.

"I think tujhe Sanyukta ko sab kuch sach sach bata dena chahiye." Parth said, taking a glance at Randhir when he looked at him.

"What are you saying, Parth? Agar Sanyukta ko pata chal gaya ke main Krishna nahi Randhir hu toh phir wo ye bardast nahi kar payegi. Use toh yehi lagega ke main phir se use dhoka dene aaya hu! I can't do this. At least not now." Randhir said nervously.

"No, I am not talking about that. Am saying you should confess your feelings to Sanyukta, that you love her." Parth said slowly.

"I want that too Parth but this is not the right time to confess. Sanyukta isn't ready for all this now. I hurt her badly and I have to wait for her to heal." Randhir said when Parth nodded positively.

"But sometimes I thought, is it possible to cure bleeding heart Parth? I hurt Sanyukta beyond repair. I hurt her where it hurts the most. I-I broke her trust and I don't think she can forgive me anymore!" Randhir said that when his eyes became moist.

"Randhir." Parth kept his hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know why I did this to her? Pata nahi main itna niche kaise gir gaya jo mujhse itni badi galti ho gayi? Why did I do this, why why why?" Randhir almost screamed when broke down into tears. Parth stopped the car immediately and held him next.

"It's okay Randhir, everything will be fine." Parth consoled him.

"Mujhse yeh sab kaise ho gaya Parth? Sanyukta ne toh mujh par trust kiya tha aur maine kitni bedardi se uska trust todh diya! Aab wo mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karne wali, kabhi nahi!" Randhir said in between his tears.

"Randhir that was past but everything is changed now. You have changed now. Ab tu wo purana Randhir nahi raha, tu badal chuka hai wo bhi achchhe ke liye." Parth gave him some hope.

"But Sanyukta toh mujhse nafrat karti hain, mere naam se nafrat karti hain. Wo mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karegi." Randhir gulped hard.

"Haan jarur karegi. Jab Sanyukta ko pata chalega ke tu puri tarah se badal gaya hai aur tune uske liye kitna sacrifice kiya hai toh phir dekhna wo tujhe maaf bhi kar degi aur tujhe apna bhi legi." Parth gave him an assurance, thus Randhir smiled a little and hugged him next.

"Thank you, thank you very much Parth. You are a true friend." Randhir said with full of emotions when Parth smiled brightly.

"Not bad Randhir. Dost ko thanks bol raha hai! Aakhir kar tujh mein manners aah hi gaya!" Parth said playfully when Randhir smiled too.

"Okay okay now stop this bromance, or else log galat interpret karenge!" Parth said mockingly when Randhir pushed him.

"You are just impossible." Randhir said annoyingly when Parth chuckled.

"Look at your face man, you look funny!" Parth laughed hard when Randhir smiled too.

"Chal tu haasa toh sahi!" Parth said happily.

"But Parth aaj agar Sanyukta Krishna ko accept kar bhi leti hai tab kya hoga jab use sach ka pata chal jayega? Kya tab bhi wo mujhe accept kar payegi? Kyu ki uss din Sanyukta ke samne Krishna nahi Randhir khada hoga, jisse wo beintehaa nafrat karti hai!" Randhir asked nervously.

"Don't worry Randhir, kyu ki jab Sanyukta ko Krishna ki jhoot ka pata chalega tab use Randhir ki sacchai ka bhi pata chal jayega aur wo Krishna ki jhoot ko maaf kar degi aur tujhe apna legi." Parth assured him.

"Keya Sanyukta mujhe maaf kar degi?" Randhir asked hopefully.

"Randhir tujhe pyar ki taqat ke baare mein nahi pata. Sacche pyar mein wo taqat hoti hai jo impossible ko bhi possible kar deta hai. Tu dekhna tujhe Sanyukta ka maafi aur pyar dono milega. I assure you that." Parth said confidently when Randhir smiled brightly.

Randhir came back to the mansion and went to his parents room. He entered and saw Harsh was laying down on the bed when Renuka was sitting beside him and both were smiling on some topic.

"Kis baat par aap dono itna haas rahe hai?" Randhir asked curiously.

"Nothing important. Tum batao kaisa raha first date?" Renuka asked directly.

"No mom, date jaisa toh kuch nahi hai! Hum bass dinner par gaye thay, Parth aur Arpita bhi saath mein thay." Randhir said shyly.

"Look at your face Rono, kitna blush kar rahe ho! Itna blush toh aaj kal ladkiya bhi nahi karti!" Renuka said teasingly when Randhir flushed more.

"Please mom, don't make me embarrassed." Randhir said feeling shy.

"Randhir tum date ke naam par itna sharma rahe ho! Tab kya karoge jab Sanyukta ko 'I love you' bologe?" Harsh asked playfully.

"Dad you too!" Randhir said feeling embarrassed when they chuckled softly.

"Aur phir dad 'I love you' tab kahunga na jab Sanyukta use feel kar payegi!" Randhir said slowly, thus some frowned lines came on Harsh's face.

"Kya matlab?" Renuka asked curiously.

"Mom, Sanyukta ki dil mein itni karwahat bhara pada hai ke uske dil mein dosti ke liye bhi jagah nahi hai toh phir pyar ke liye kaise hoga? And I can't blame her for this. Kuch hadsa zindagi se bhi badi hoti hain I guess!" Randhir said helplessly when Renuka kept her hand on his shoulder.

"Donor ka keya hua, koi mila?" Harsh asked curiously, thus Randhir nodded a no.

"Potential donor abhi tak nahi mila dad. But we are trying our best." Randhir replied slowly.

"Mil jayega, don't worry." Harsh assured him when Randhir smiled sadly.

"You know what dad ek time par mujhe lagta tha ke main paiso se kuch bhi kharid sakta hu! Koi bhi cheez ho main use chutki mein kharid sakta hu. But now I realized ke main paiso se sab kuch nahi kharid sakta! Main paiso se kisiki zindagi nahi kharid sakta! I feel so helpless dad!" Randhir let out his frustration.

"Don't stress yourself so much Randhir. Everything will be fine. It's already late, go and take a rest." Harsh said thus Randhir nodded positively and went to his room next.

"Kya soch rahe ho Harsh?" Renuka asked saw him lost somewhere.

"Yehi ke paiso se zindagi nahi kharidi ja sakti lekin zindagi ke badle zindagi toh mil sakti hai na!" Harsh said slowly.

"What do you mean?" Renuka asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a thought." Harsh replied slowly.

                              * * * * * * * * *

Next morning when Randhir came down he saw a person talking with Harsh.

"Dad, what's going on?" Randhir asked curiously saw an unknown person there.

"Bahut achchhe time par aaye ho Randhir. Inse milo, yeh hain Mr. Pathak. Eye bank coordination and research center se." Harsh introduced them.

"Eye donation center se, lekin kyu dad?" Randhir asked curiously.

"Beta maine aur Renuka ne decision liya hai ke hum dono marne ke baad apne eye donate karenge." Harsh replied and made Randhir shocked.

"But dad suddenly, wo bhi iss condition mein?" Randhir asked shockingly.

"Relax Randhir, wo abhi humare aankhein leke nahi ja rahe hai!" Harsh said playfully.

"Please dad, this is not a joke." Randhir said nervously.

"Yes, this is not a joke. Insan ki life mazak nahi hai aur yeh baat mujhe kaal jake samajh mein aaya. Jaise tum Sanyukta ke liye ek potential donor dhund rahe ho usi tarah pata nahi kitne hi log apne apno ke liye potential donor ki talash kar rahe honge. Toh agar humari iss kadam se ek bhi insan ki zindagi mein umeed ki kiran dikhai deti hai toh phir hume wo kadam leni chahiye." Harsh said determinedly.

"Sir aapke parents ne best decision liya hai. Agar sabhi insan inke jaise soche toh phir potential donor ki kami nahi hogi. Lekin dukh ki baat toh yeh hain ke kuch logo ko iske baare mein pata nahi aur kuch log sochte hain ke eye donate karne se wo agle janam mein aandhe paida honge aur iss liye woh inkar karte hai. India duniya ki sabse badi democratic country hai, lekin lagta hai yaha par superstitions usse bhi badi hai!" The man sighed hard.

"But thanks to both you sir and ma'am, aap jaise mahan logo ki wajah se thodi si umeed ki kiran aaj bhi baki hai." The man said with admiration.

"Aare aap kaisi baatein kar rahe hai Mr. Pathak! Insan hoke dusro ka madat karna hi toh insaniyat hain. Okay kaha sign karna hai?" Harsh asked and signed the form when Randhir was witnessing his parents with admiration.
