Sanyukta nervously paced in the living room, while Vidhushi sat in front of the TV and mindlessly filed her nails. Sanyukta got irritated many times because of the blazing sound from the TV. Parth was there too. He wasn't pacing with her but at times when she passed by him, he would advise her to calm down. Sanyukta was too anxious to calm down. She wasn't only scared about the deal but worried as she knew about Kishore and Randhir's nature and their past escapades together.

She felt her heart jump to her throat when she heard the car stop in front of the house. She was about to rush to them when Parth held her hand. Irritated, she turned to look at him.

'What?' She asked, exasperated.

Parth held her wrist tighter, - 'Let them breathe first.' He said, as usual, his tone was calm. Vidhushi also jumped up from the sofa and hurried to get some water. Sanyukta's expressions changed and she nodded.

She kept looking expectedly at the door, her breath caught in her throat and her palms sweaty. Soon, her father and Ankit entered the house. Sanyukta inhaled sharply and stood there, holding her breath. Kishore looked tired and grim while Ankit was all smiles. His smiles gave Sanyukta some hope. She walked to them and held her father's shoulders. Ankit unbuttoned his sleeves and top few buttons of his shirt. Then, he sat on the sofa. Sanyukta kept standing there. Kishore looked at her and gave her a weary smile. Hesitantly, she smiled back.

'Why are you standing on our heads? Go get us water.' Ankit rebuked her. She just glared at him and he glared back. Kishore sighed as he facepalmed. Just then Vidhushi arrived with water and Ankit began praising her.

Sanyukta wanted to ask about the deal, but seeing her father stressed she kept quiet. Vidhushi couldn't contain her excitement though and she asked,

'What happened to the deal, Ankit?'

Ankit looked at her and straightened in his seat, a proud smile on his face, - 'We are now official partners with Renuka Sanyal.' He said with pride.

'Wow!' Vidhushi exclaimed. Sanyukta couldn't stop herself from smiling but she doesn't express her joy as she didn't want her father to misunderstand her. She was happy because they got the deal and not for Randhir.

'I will make tea.' Sanyukta said. Kishore and Ankit nodded.

As she passed by Parth, they looked at each other and exchanged smiles. Sanyukta walked towards the kitchen while Parth made his way to his room.

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

Sanyukta was all smiles as she entered the kitchen. She was very happy as now her company will get more exposure and will soon go international, like the Sanyal's. She kept smiling to herself as she made tea. Neatly, she placed the hot cups on a tray and cautiously carried it out of the kitchen. Kaka followed behind her, he carried snacks.

Before Sanyukta entered the living room, she stopped in her tracks as she heard the men talking. Kaka walked in first. The men stopped talking only momentarily till Kaka walked out again.

'But why do we care about him?'

There was silence for a second, - 'Ankit. Maybe you don't care about your sister, but I care about my daughter. There is something seriously wrong here.' - Kishore paused, - 'Why has he come to India? Last we saw he was in the US for the past two years. Then why India again? And what about his previous job.'

'He must have resigned, Papa.'

'But why? Who in their right senses will reject such a wonderful opportunity?' Kishore reasoned, and Ankit hummed.

Their conversation made Sanyukta think. She stood there wondering why Randhir came back to India. She had the same doubts as her father. Moreover, Randhir doesn't have good relations with his mother then why did he join her company? What about his US job and if he left it, then why? As she wondered she felt someone tap her arm, she looked at Vidhushi who asked her to give the tray. Dazed, Sanyukta handed the tray to her. Vidhushi happily walked in. As Sanyukta turned around she heard Vidhushi speaking,

'Sorry for the delay, it took me time making the perfect tea.'

Sanyukta wasn't bothered about that, her mind was now occupied by questions, too many questions.

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

Randhir was working in his cabin when his mobile rang. He glanced at the phone and found an unknown number flash on- screen. He took a moment before answering the call.

'Hello?'

'Oh ji, Hello Randhir Paji.' Yoyo's overzealous voice boomed from the other side. Randhir smiled.

'Hi, Yoyo.'

'Oh ji, with so much difficulty I got your new number Paji.'

Yoyo then went on to talk about his ordeal and Randhir's smile widened. Then, the two spoke casually before Yoyo reminded him of his marriage.

'Oh!' Randhir recollected the wedding card, the wedding is this weekend.

'Kya hua, Paji. You are coming, right.'

'Of course.' Randhir replied without a second thought. Yoyo was relieved. Then, Randhir smiled to himself. Of course, he would be coming. Sanyukta will be there and he doesn't want to miss a chance to see her. He was here in India for her.

The men spoke for some more time, in which it was mostly Yoyo gushing how excited and nervous he is about his marriage.

'Paji, please give me some tips.' He pleaded.

'Me?' Randhir sounded amused.

'Oh, haan ji, I am getting married for the first time, but you are already married, na.' He said mindlessly and then there was silence. An uncomfortable silence. Randhir's smile disappeared and he clenched a paperweight tightly.

'Sorry, sorry, Paji. I didn't mean to upset you-'

'Listen, Yoyo, I have some work. I will call you later.' Randhir said and abruptly disconnected the call. Then, he placed the phone on the table and leaned back, he rested his head on the chair and sighed.

You are already married, na

Randhir smiled sadly.
