Sanyukta and her family take adieu from Kanika and her family and came out from the house.

"So Sanyukta tumhe maike drop kar du yeah phir aapne saath kidnap karke le jau!" Parth said playfully.

"Parth tum mujhe kidnap karke mere hi ghar le jane ki baat kar rahe ho." Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"Aare but jab mom ne Sanyukta ko uske ghar bheja hain toh phir hum usse force nehi kar sakte na Parth." Anjali replied.

"Aare but am feeling bore without both you and Randhir there." Parth made a face.

"Shaadi kar lo, bore nehi lagega." Anjali said teasingly.

"Main utna lucky kaha hu bhabhi, bhai ko dekhiye aaj vi ladkiya unn par fida hain. Party mein jitne vi ladkiya thi sab bhai ke saath selfie lene mein busy thay meri taraf toh kisine dekha vi nehi!" Parth made a sad face.

"Haan so toh hain, mujhe nehi pata tha ke Rajveer ke itne fans hain jo ceiling se latakte rahete hain!" Anjali said sarcastically when Rajveer crocked his eyes.

"Your honour am innocent, maine kuch nehi kiya." Rajveer said dramatically.

"Yeah sirf selfies aur autograph ke sivaye!" Anjali made a face.

"Aab wo sab Sanyukta ki friends thi toh phir dena pada otherwise what they will think darling!" Rajveer tried to defend himself.

"Yeah right." Anjali made a face. "Waise Sanyukta tumhare aaise aur kitni pagal saheli hain jo ceiling se latakti hain?" Anjali asked grumpily.

"Aur koi nehi bhabhi, waise vi maine kabhi yeh sab notice nehi kiya." Sanyukta forced a smile.

"Yeh Kannu na ek din mujhe marwayegi. What if sabko pata chal geya ke once I had crush on Rajveer bhai! Chi chi chi! Chullu bhad pain mein dub kar marna padega mujhe! Sanyu tujhe ghar mein khane ko nehi milta tha keya, aapne pati ki bhai ke upor hi crush khana tha tujhe! Ohh god, my life sucks!" She cursed her fate in mind.

"Waise bahut dino baad koi party maine attend kiya aur enjoy vi." Rajveer said when Anjali looked at him.

"Umm I mean yeh business parties mein jaa jaa kar bore ho geya hu so aaj family party mein jaa kar achchha laga." Rajveer said quickly.

"Haan bhai yeh toh saach hain bahut dino se maine vi koi party attend nehi kiya, ek party throw kariye na." Parth said excitedly.

"Without any reason party!" Sanyukta said surprisingly.

"Aab Rajveer Singh Shekhawat ko party dene ke liye koi reason thodi na chahiye, kyu bhai!" Parth said proudly.

"Don't worry Parth, dad will going to throw a grand party soon. And there is a really big reason behind this party Sanyukta." Rajveer said making her curious.

"Keya reason bhaiya?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"It'll be Randhir's birthday party." Rajveer smiled brightly when Sanyukta felt butterflies in her stomach.

"Randhir ka birthday, kab?" She asked excitedly.

"Next month hain Sanyukta." Anjali said when Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"So we have only few days to throw the grand party dear." Parth said when Sanyukta nodded happily.

After dropping Sanyukta at her house the trio came back to the mansion. They entered and everyone went to their respective rooms. Parth entered at his room and became shocked to saw Arpita there.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked shockingly when Arpita smirked at him.

"Come on Parth aab keya main tumhare room mein vi nehi aah sakti! Maybe we are not friends but not enemies also." She smirked at him.

"Stop your nonsense and tell me what are you doing here? I don't have time to waste." He asked annoyingly.

"So have I Parth. I came here to say something to you very important." She said mockingly.

"Then shoot." Parth said sternly.

"Child marriage ke against law kitna strict hain wo toh tum jante hi hoge Parth." Arpita said all of a sudden.

"Haan toh, kiski child marriage huya hain?" Parth asked confusingly.

"Nehi child marriage toh nehi but ladkiyo ka 18 saal se pehele aur ladko ki 21 saal se pehele shaadi illegal hain India main. Aur jaha tak mujhe pata hain Ron is 20 years now only." Arpita said with a smirk on her face.

"What's your point Arpita?" Parth asked curiously.

"My point is Ron and Sanyukta's marriage is still illegal as Ron isn't 21. Aur aagar kisine police mein complain kar diya toh phir socho keya hoga!" Arpita smirked devilishly when Parth's face lost all it's colour.

"Arpita don't you dare! Tum aaisa soch vi kaise sakti ho, Randhir ko bestfriend bolti ho usse pyar ka dava karti ho aur usse aur uski family ko jail mein bhejne ki ware mein soch rahi ho! Chi, how disgusting you are." Parth said disgustingly.

"Aare aare Parth tum toh senty ho gaye, maine kab kaha ke main complain karungi! Maine kaha ke aagar kisine complain kar diya toh phir keya hoga? Aur wo vi tab jab Sanyukta pregnant hain! But yeh toh saach hain na ke unki shaadi aabhi tak illegal hain!" Arpita said sadly.

"Yeh shaadi illegal nehi hain, there are lots of eye witness Arpita, jinke samne shaadi huyi thi." Parth said coldly.

"Is that so, tab toh unn sabko vi jail jana padega iss illegal shaadi mein samil hone ke liye. Aab yeh baat janne ke baad vi keya wo log iss shaadi ka eye witness banna chahenge Parth!" Arpita said coldly when Parth glared at her.

"And by the way as per as the law jab tak registration nehi hoti shaadi legal nehi mani jati aur Ron and Sanyukta ki registry marriage nehi huya hain that means unki shaadi legal nehi hain." Arpita said in an icy cold voice.

"Aur jab shaadi legal hi nehi hain toh phir Sanyukta ka Ron ki biwi hone ka sawal hi nehi uthtta. Aur aaisi halat mein aagar koi complain karta hain toh phir sab yehi kahenge ke Sanyukta Ron ki wife nehi hain warna Ron aur uski puri family ko jail jana padega, hain na!" Arpita smirked devilishly when Parth clenched his jaw.

"But sawal yeh hain ke aagar Sanyukta Ron ki biwi nehi hain toh phir keya hain! Aab toh wo pregnant vi hain that too with Ron's baby." She said thoughtfully.

"Yes I know, she is not Ron's wife but his keep." Arpita said that and next moment her cheek welcome a tight slap as Parth slapped her hard.

"How dare you Parth?" Arpita said shockingly.

"How dare you? Tumhari himmat vi kaise huyi Sanyukta ke ware mein aaisa bolne ki! Aare tum keya jano shaadi ki matlab, jo dosti aur pyar jaisi khubsoorat rishto ka izzat nehi kar sakti wo keya shaadi ki izzat karegi!" Parth said furiously.

"Haan toh keya bol rahi thi tum police mein complain karogi, okay go ahead kar do complain. But you know what kuch nehi ukhar payogi. Aagar hume jail vi jana padega na tab vi nehi. Cause Randhir jail chala jayega lekin wo Sanyukta ke izzat par ek daag nehi lagne dega. Wo sabke samne kabool karega ke Sanyukta uski biwi hain, understand! Aur isse pehele ke main bhul jau ke tum ek ladki ho just get lost from my room." Parth said in an icy cold voice when Arpita glared at him.

"How dare you Parth tumhari himmat kaise huyi mujh par haat uthane ki! Main tumhe chhodungi nehi." Arpita hissed in anger.

"Keya karogi Randhir ko complain karogi! Go ahead. But keya tumhara Ron tum par believe karega Arpita? Ke bechara Parth jo ke ek ladki se baat karte huye vi ghabrata hain usne tumhe chata mara!"

"Naaaahhh! Randhir won't believe it. So better tum iss mamle ko yehi par rafa dafa kar do aur aapne room mein jake soo jau. Okay bye, good night, sweet dreams." Parth said teasingly smiling at her then made a stern face. "Get lost." He said sternly when Arpita left from there next.

"Aaj aagar main itna confident hu toh phir wo sirf tumhare wajase Miss D'souza." He smiled brightly but his smile vanished next.

"Isse pehele ke Arpita saach much koi gadbad kare I have to do something." Parth said thoughtfully.

                                 * * * * * * * * *

Randhir was waiting for Sanyukta's phone eagerly when his phone buzzed. He became excited for a moment then composed himself next.

"No Randhir just don't get excited, pretend like you are still angry on her and don't let her manipulate you this time." He said to himself but then think something.

"Why pretend am really angry and this time she has to say sorry to me. Jiju chahe kuch vi bole am not going to bend down this time. Sanyukta is at fault so she has to say sorry to me. Remember you are the man and she is the wife." He said firmly and received the phone.

"Hello?" He sounds stern.

"Khana kha liya, main aabhi ghar wapas aayi." She said slowly when he hummed only.

"You know party bahut achchhi thi, bhaiya, bhabhi, Parth sab aaye thay bahut enjoy kiya humne. Tumne keya kiya?" She asked.

"Kaam aur kisika phone ka intezar." He said sternly when Sanyukta felt guilty.

"Randhir I know you are angry on me aur tum sahi ho, galti meri thi. Mujhe tumhe call karke bata dena chahiye tha ke main kannu ke saath hu yeah phir message karke but bhul gayi. Am sorry." She said when Randhir's eyes became soften.

"Sanyukta apologized, yes yes I won." He said in mind when did a happy dance.

"Hello Randhir are you there?" Sanyukta asked confusingly when he composed herself.

"Randhir am really very sorry, tum chaho toh daat lo but please maaf kar do." She pleaded when Randhir gave a proud smirk.

"Friend ka birthday tha issi liye maaf kiya but next time aaisa kuch kiya toh I'll never." He said with an attitude thus she take a relief of sigh.

"Thank you." She smiled brightly.

"Waise how are you feeling now, wo message kiya tha that you are feeling uneasy?" He asked with care.

"Haan wo bheed mein ghutan si ho rahi thi now am feeling better." She replied.

"Good, aab jake kuch kha lo." He said.

"Nehi mann nehi ho raha hain." She replied.

"Sanyukta don't be childish, jau jake khana kha lo otherwise mom ko call karke aabhi batata hu!" He threatened her thus she made a face.

"Okay jati hu. Achchha chalo bye." She said.

"What bye, video call on karke mere samne khana khao aabhi." He said firmly when she rolled her eyes.

"Randhir don't be childish, sab keya sochenge!" She said slowly.

"Koi kuch nehi sochega but aagar tumne meri baat nehi suni toh phir main keya kar sakta hu wo socho, samjhi!" He said firmly when she get agreed.

"Okay." She said when Randhir smirked proudly.

"See aaise tackle karte hain biwi ko, angry young man ban kar! Today's girl don't like chocolate boy they like rough and tough man. And am the man." He said proudly looking at the mirror.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Roja was wearing her night suit when her phone buzzed with Parth's number.

"Sir itni raat ko?" She became confused and received the phone.

"Sir itni raat ko, kuch important hain keya?" Roja asked confusingly.

"Haan important toh hain Miss D'souza. I want to say something very important to you and I can't wait for it till tomorrow morning." Parth said in a serious way.

"Keya baat sir?" She asked curiously.

"Thank you Miss D'souza. Thank you for make me a confident person. I can't teach Vidushi a lesson that day without you as well as Arpita today." He said when Roja became surprised.

"Sir what happened, what Arpita did?" She asked curiously when Parth told her everything.

"What a character she is! I can't believe koi aaisa vi soch sakti hain!" She said in disbelief.

"Exactly, I was so furious that I can't control myself and slapped her. I wish ke Randhir can see her true face." Parth said angrily.

"Don't worry sir one day Randhir will definitely see her true colour." Roja said thus Parth get some kind of solace.

"Thank you Miss D'souza." He said again.

"Sir please don't, jo vi kiya aapne kiya maine kuch nehi kiya aur phir aaj toh main aapke saath thi vi nehi." She said slowly.

"You are not here physically Miss D'souza that's true but your presence in my mind is enough to make me confident enough." Parth said with admiration when Roja flushed listening this.

"Aap kuch jyada hi tarif kar rahe hain sir, keya kaal office jaldi aana hain!" She said playfully when Parth frowned.

"Genuine ladke ka toh koi value hi nehi hain duniya mein! Maine tumhe thanks bolne ke liye call kiya aur tum mujhe tease kar rahi ho!" Parth said shockingly.

"Am not teasing you sir. Actualy aap itna tarif kar rahe hain ke issi liye laga ke daal mein kuch toh kala hain yeah phir pura ka pura daal hi kala hain!" She said mockingly.

"Problem daal mein nehi tum mein hain! Bina soche samjhe kuch vi bolti ho." Parth said annoyingly.

"Ji nehi problem aap mein hain, aap kuch jyada hi sochte hain." Roja said mockingly and they started arguing over the phone.

                                * * * * * * * * *

"Bass Randhir aab main aur nahi kha sakti." Sanyukta said over the video call when eating the dinner.

"Bass thoda sa aur." Randhir said over the call.

"Mujhe nehi khana." She made a face.

"Khati ho ke mom ko bulau aur saath mein sasu maa ko vi!" He threatened her when Sanyukta ate the remaining food halfheartedly.

"So bahut enjoy kiya aaj?" Randhir asked as Sanyukta settled on Ankit's bed. He was out of station for some work so Sanyukta took the position of that room.

"Hmm so toh kiya. I wish tum vi hote waha par. I really miss you." She said sadly.

"I miss you too baby." Randhir said sadly.

"Bass jaldi se wapas aah jau phir saath mein party karenge." She said dreamily remembering about Randhir's birthday.

"I'll come soon baby. Waise you look gorgeous in white." He replied checking her photos.

"Thanks." She said shyly. "Waise aaj bahut dino baad dil khol kar enjoy kiya maine." She said when Randhir crocked his eyes.

"What do you mean by bahut dino baad, keya main tumhe lock karke rakhta hu?" He asked curiously.

"Aur nahi toh keya! Kabhi mere mann ka kuch karne dete ho, humesha Hitler ban kar ghumte ho." She frowned dangerously.

"Ohh hello madam jo vi karta hu tumhare achchhe ke liye karta hu." He replied firmly.

"Koi jarurat nehi I can take care of myself." She made a face.

"Yeah sure, tum toh itni careless ho pata nehi aagar main nehi hota toh phir tumhara keya hota aur meri baby ka keya hota!" He sighed hard.

"Aagar tum nehi hote toh phir baby vi nehi hoti." She frowned dangerously.

"Exactly, you have to thankful to me for the baby." He said with an attitude.

"Excuse me, you have to thankful to me for the baby." She replied rolling her eyes.

"No that's my baby so you have to be thankful." Randhir said firmly.

"No this is my baby so you have to be thankful." Sanyukta said firmly and they started arguing over the phone.

Later at the night both couples were busy talking over the phone when the moon was smiling saw their love.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Days rolled on when Randhir became habituated with his this new lifestyle but was missing his family terribly, specially Sanyukta and their unborn baby. So he keep himself busy in work all the day to divert his mind but it's very difficult to spend time at the night alone. He talk to Sanyukta and his family over the phone but still felt lonely and the fact was he is really alone there. He went to the club so that he can enjoy but for his surprise he became bored there even more. So passing his leisure time he decided to doing something constructive.

On the other hand Sanyukta was missing Randhir too. Though her family was always with her and made her feeling special all the time still she felt alone sometimes. She take care of that rose plant and eagerly waiting for when it's blooming. Anju saw her absentmindedly most of the time as she was lost in either in Randhir's thought or was staring at the rose plant constantly. Anju can noticed also that Sanyukta stopped complaining about Randhir and all the time she was worried about his health only. Anju understand the state of mind of her daughter and smiled inwardly.

There Vidushi was furious on Roja. She couldn't digest her humiliation and hence decided to find out more about Parth's girlfriend. She hired a private detective to find out about Roja D'souza as soon as possible. She vowed to payback that petty girl her part of humiliation.

Finally the weekend came. Sanyukta became excited to meet Randhir after long 7 days so she decided to come mansion early and will decorate their room according to Randhir's taste.

"Bass kuch der aur phir tum mere pass hoge." Sanyukta said caressing Randhir's photo on her phone and kissed it lovingly. She packed her bag and went to the mansion.

Other hand Randhir was excited too. He was very happy with the thought to go back to home and meet his family. He became restless for a glimpse of Sanyukta.

"Bass kuch der aur phir main tumhare pass hunga." Randhir said caressing Sanyukta's photo on his phone and kissed it lovingly. He was getting ready for office when he get a call from Harsh.

"Hello Randhir ek emergency hain." Harsh said over the phone.

"Haan dad boliye." Randhir said.

"Dekho wo jo Swiss delegates aaye hain wo humare dream project dekhna chahate hain, wo log aaj Goa jane wale hain so aaj tum wohi ruk jau aur kaal unhen resort ka tour karwana, okay." Harsh said when Randhir froze for a moment.

"Hello! Randhir are you there?" Harsh asked when Randhir came back to his senses.

"Yes dad." He replied.

"Maine keya bola suna na?" Harsh asked.

"Yes dad I'll." Randhir said and cut the phone next became halfheartedly.

Renuka became shocked as Harsh told her that Randhir can't able to come this weekend. She felt bad but try to be strong for Sanyukta. Sanyukta was busy to rearranging their room when Renuka came there.

"Sanyukta keya kar rahi ho, yeh sab chhodo aur chalo kahi bahar chale. Chalo aaj main tumhe shopping karwati hu." Renuka said thus Sanyukta smiled.

"Maa aap shopping karwayengi phir toh main jarur chalungi, ek baar Randhir aah jaye phir hum dono aapke saath shopping par jayenge." Sanyukta smiled brightly when Renuka forced a smile.

"Actually Sanyukta wo Randhir iss weekend par nehi aah payega. Wo kuch foreign delegates aaye hain so unko attend karna padega usse." Renuka said hesitatingly when Sanyukta's face fall down.

"So main bol rahi thi aaj jab tum aah hi gayi ho aur free vi ho toh chalo na hum saas-bahu shopping par chale." Renuka said when Sanyukta sat down on the bed.

"Phir bahar dinner karenge aur aagar tum zid karogi toh phir hum beach par vi jaa sakte hain." Renuka said playfully when Sanyukta's eyes became moist.

"Dekho aaisi saas tumhe kahi nehi milegi..." Renuka about to say something more when she noticed Sanyukta's moist eyes.

"Sanyukta tum roo rahi ho beta?" Renuka asked curiously when Sanyukta looked away to hide her tears.

"Tumhe keya lagta hain beta ke tum aapna aasu aapne maa se chhupa sakti ho!" Renuka said kept her hand on Sanyukta's head when she hide her face on her chest.

"It's okay beta, Rono next week aah jayega." Renuka said caressing her back. She was sad to saw her broken but somewhere she was happy from inside to saw her in pain too. As she was sure now that Sanyukta finally forgive Randhir and not only that she was fall for him too that to deeply.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Parth was working on his laptop when Roja entered there.

"Sir yeh raha project file aap sign karne se pehele ek baar check kar lijiye ga and this is last year budget file jo aapne manga tha." She kept the files on the table.

"Okay Miss D'souza tum tender ready rakhna kaal tak usse chale jana chahiye." Parth said when working on his laptop. 

"Sir maine tender already bana liya hain aap check kar lijiye toh phir main aaj hi bhej dungi aur Khurana sir ka phone aaya tha toh phir maine presentation next week fix kar diya hain, anything else sir?" Roja asked when Parth became impressed to saw her efficiency.

"No, you can go now." Parth maintain a straight face when Roja rolled her eyes.

"Itna effort deke sab kuch complete kiya ek thank you toh bol hi sakte thay!" She murmured under her breath.

"Why are you whispering Miss D'souza jo vi bolna hain saaf saaf bolo!" Parth said fixing his gaze on the laptop.

"Toh phir saaf saaf suniye, can't I expect a thank you from you after all this hard working sir?" She asked sternly when Parth looked at her.

"Ohh so you want a thank you! But as per as I remember you don't like praising Miss D'souza! Tumhe toh daal mein kuch kala lagta hain na jab main tumhara tarif karta hu! Nehi nehi correction, daal mein kala nehi tumhe toh pura ka pura daal hi kala lagta hain!" Parth said mockingly.

"Without any reason tarif karenge toh phir doubt toh hoga hi na!" Roja made a face.

"Doubt nehi ho issi liye tarif nehi kiya cause tarif karne like tumne kuch kiya vi nehi Miss D'souza." Parth said mockingly when Roja burnt in anger.

"Haan haan main toh worthless hu kabhi kuch karti hi nehi saara kaam toh wo Simi aur Tina karti hain tabhi toh aap haar roz unn dono ko itna big smile dete hain." Roja said angrily when Parth became shocked to listening this.

"Who are they?" He asked confusingly.

"Kamal hain haar roz jinhe dekh kar smile karte hain unka naam nehi jante aap!" She said mockingly.

"Smile toh main haar kisiko dekh kar karta hu Miss D'souza, tumhe vi dekh kar. Cause I believe in a healthy relation between boss and employees." Parth said playfully.

"Achchha tabhi aapne PA ko praise nehi karte aap, yeh kaha ki healthy relation hain sir? Am sure aagar Simi aur Tina hoti toh phir aap jarur tarif karte." She frowned.

"Why am feeling like you are jealous from Simi and Tina!" Parth asked raising his brows when Roja felt awkward.

"No am not. Main kyu jealous feel karungi!" She made a face.

"Tumhe karna vi nehi chahiye cause jwalan badabar walo mein hoti hain. And about praising wo tumhe tab milega jab tum kuch constructive karogi. Now go and get a cup of coffee for me. Understand." Parth said firmly when Roja frowned dangerously.

"Yes sir." She replied sternly and about to go when stopped by Parth next.

"Aur haan aapna creativity mere coffee mein mat dikhana, like chini jyada yeah phir chili powder, get it!" Parth taunted her when she glared at him.

"Got it sir." Roja said sternly and left from there next when Parth chuckled hard.

"Bade aaye mujhe bolne wale, itna kaam karne ke baad vi am not efficient enough aur wo dono make up ki dukan bahut efficient hain! Huhhh!" Roja murmured under her breath eyed Tina and Simi then went to the cafeteria. She made a cup of coffee and came back quickly. She entered at Parth's chamber but didn't found him there.

"Aare sir kaha gaye!" She became surprised when Parth came out from the washroom.

"Sir your coffee. Anything else?" She said annoyingly kept the cup on the table.

"Yeah, take a sip from it." Parth said when Roja became shocked.

"But sir this is your coffee." She said surprisingly.

"That's why am asking you for that. Take a sip from it so that I can sure you didn't do any creativity with it." Parth said mockingly when Roja made a face then take a sip from it.

"Now okay?" She asked angrily when Parth nodded.

"That's fine." Parth said thus Roja about to go when Parth hold her hand and pinned her against the table.

"Jane se pehele aapna thank you toh leti jau Miss Jelo otherwise yeh jealousy badti hi jayegi!" Parth hushed when Roja became shocked by his gesture.

"Am not jealous sir that to from those bimbos, sawal hi nehi hain." She made a stern face.

"Is that so then why are you throwing daggers to them from your eyes sometimes before?" Parth asked innocently when Roja became embarrassed being caught red handed.

"Aap ne toh kaha tha ke aap unhen jante vi nehi toh phir aapko kaise pata ke maine unn dono ki taraf dekha tha!" She said anyhow.

"It's human nature Miss D'souza, am praising them which you can't tolerate that's why you did that. Am I right?" Parth asked when Roja trying to free herself from his hold but can't.

"You are wasting both your time and strength too Miss D'souza. Cause maybe you girls are emotionally strong more than boys but we boys are physically strong more than you." Parth smirked at her when she felt helpless.

"Sir leave me I have to go." She said slowly lowering her gaze.

"Yeah sure but before that you will get that which you deserve. Thank you." Parth said after a pause when Roja looked at him surprisingly.

"Coffee ke liye?" She asked confusingly.

"No, for your professionalism, for your determination, for your hard working and many more things. Am lucky to have you in my life Miss D'souza." Parth said with admiration when Roja's face became brighten to listening all this.

Parth and Roja were stood like that lost into each other like they find solace in each other. Parth wondering why he felt like that in her presence which he didn't felt even when he was with Vidushi. Other hand Roja also fumbling with her emotions. She doesn't felt like this before which she felt right now. Whenever he was near to her, her heart beats faster and breath became uneven. They were lost in their moments when the door of the cabin suddenly opened and both Arjun and Vidushi entered next.

"Upsss we are sorry. Vidushi I told you to knock first." Arjun said became embarrassed when Vidushi became shocked to saw them so close. Both Parth and Roja became embarrassed too. Parth leave her and went to Arjun.

"Hey Arjun, what's up man?" Parth asked hugging him.

"Am good Parth." Arjun replied politely hugging him back. "Sorry to came inside without knocking the door." He apologized breaking the hug.

"Come on Arjun don't be so formal, Parth is my childhood friend so I have rights on him. What say Parth?" Vidushi said hugging him tight when Parth forced a smile.

"Yeah sure, why not friend!" Parth said sternly breaking the hug.

"Hey Roja what's up, office romance?" Vidushi smirked at her when Roja felt awkward and Parth rolled his eyes.

"Vidushi please!" Arjun gesture her to stop and looked at Roja. "Hey Roja, please don't mind of her words. Vidushi doesn't mean that." Arjun forced a smile.

"Don't worry Arjun I don't mind." Roja smiled a little thus Arjun smiled genuinely.

"Leave it guys, tell me how come you are here?" Parth asked curiously.

"Actually it's our anniversary tomorrow and we are throwing a small party. So me and Vidushi want you and Roja there." Arjun said making Parth curious.

"Anniversary! But when you people got married?" Parth asked shockingly.

"It's not like that Parth, actually it's 6th months of our togetherness. Arjun proposed me on this day sixth month ago. So I wanted to celebrate the day and hope you and Roja will join us in our happiness." Vidushi said with a smile.

Parth doesn't want to go at Vidushi's place once again but he couldn't deny Arjun's invitation as he knew Arjun was unaware of Vidushi and his past, and moreover Arjun genuinely maintained a healthy relationship with him after that day so he accepted his invitation and assured him that he will surely try to attend the party.

"Thanks man. Your presence are really mean a lot for me." Arjun said genuinely when Parth smiled. Just when the cup of coffee caught Arjun's attention.

"Aare ready made coffee, I think iss par mera hi naam likha hain!" Arjun said playfully and about to take the cup but stopped by Roja next.

"Stop Arjun yeh jhoota hain am took a sip from it. Main tum dono ke liye dusra le aati hu." Roja said quickly.

"But I guess this coffee is for Parth then why you took a sip from it?" Vidushi asked shockingly.

"Ohh come on Vidushi try to understand it, Roja is Parth's girlfriend so she has equally rights of everything that belongs to Parth. And I guess ek dusre ka jhoota khane se pyar badta hain. Hain na." Arjun said teasingly when Vidushi forced a smile.

"But Parth honestly man am getting very much jealous of you now. You are really lucky to be with your girl even at the office too. I wish Vidushi is my PA also so that I can spend more time with her." Arjun said dreamily when Parth smiled brightly.

"Good idea man, waise vi Vidushi tum sirf shopping aur gossiping karke bore nehi ho jati? You should join Arjun so office romance ke saath saath office gossiping karne ka vi chance mill jaye tumhe!" Parth said mockingly when Roja pressed her lips to suppress her smile which didn't unnoticed by Vidushi.

"Umm main coffee le aati hu." Roja said and about to go but stopped by Vidushi next.

"No it's okay, we are getting late. And also we have to go for shopping as I look best on my special day. What say Arjun?" Vidushi said proudly.

"Yes baby absolutely." Arjun said happily.

"Okay guys bye, will meet you tomorrow night." Arjun said shaking hand with Parth and bid them a bye and both left next.

"Do you have any party wear?" Parth asked straight.

"Excuse me sir?" Roja said confusingly.

"Yes or no?" Parth asked firmly.

"No sir." Roja replied slowly.

"Hmm, be ready at the evening as we are going for shopping also." Parth command her.

"But sir why?" She asked curiously.

"Cause I want my girl will look best on my ex's special day." Parth said looking into her eyes when she lowered her lashes.

"But sir am not your..." She was hesitated to say it.

"This coffee became cold can you get one more cup of coffee for me please?" Parth asked avoiding her words thus she nodded positively.

"Sure sir." Roja said and left next when Parth smiled brightly.

                                 * * * * * * * * *

Renuka was consoling Sanyukta when Sanyukta's phone buzzed with Randhir's number.

"Rono ka phone hain, tum dono batein karo main chalti hu." Renuka said and about to go but stopped next.

"Aur beta rona mat haan otherwise Rono weak pad jayega. You have to be her strength not weakness, okay." Renuka said when Sanyukta nodded positively and she left next. Sanyukta wiped her tears and received the phone.

"Hello." She tried to be sounds normal.

"Hello Sanyukta, actually main yeh bolne ke liye call kiya tha ke... wo main..."

"Tum nehi aah payoge hain na." Sanyukta completed his words.

"Wo foreign delegates, sorry." Randhir said sadly.

"It's okay Randhir I can understand." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Don't you angry on me?" He asked surprisingly.

"Why I'm angry on you Randhir when it's not your fault. You have to fulfill your responsibilities towards your work too. And as a wife I'm always with you in your thick and thin too." Sanyukta said when Randhir smiled happily.

"Thanks Sanyukta for understanding my problem, it's really means a lot for me." Randhir said affectionately.

"Randhir am your wife and friend too. So main nehi samjhungi toh aur koyn samjhega." She said slowly when Randhir thanked his star.

"I'll come soon baby." He replied.

"We will waiting for you." She said caressing her belly.

"Take care of you and my baby too." Randhir said lovingly.

"You too take care of yourself." Sanyukta said and they cut the phone.

The whole day passed when Sanyukta didn't came out from her room. She even denied to go for shopping with Renuka. Renuka sighed hard and started thinking how to chear her up. As Parth came back mansion Renuka told him everything and said to take Sanyukta with him so that her mood become change. Parth agreed and went to Sanyukta's room. Sanyukta was staring at Randhir's photo when Parth came there.

"Hey what's up! Finally sasural ki yeed aah hi gayi!" Parth said playfully thus Sanyukta forced a smile.

"Okay aab jab aah hi gayi ho toh phir chalo date par chalte hain waise vi humara kitna saara date pending hain!" Parth tried to chear her up but Sanyukta doesn't show any interest.

"Aaj nehi Parth, mood nehi hain." She said slowly when Parth understand her state of mind.

"I know you are upset cause of Randhir but uska gussa aapne friend par kyu nikal rahi ho?" He made a face.

"No Parth am not angry on anyone it just mood nehi hain." She replied slowly.

"Okay date par nehi chal sakti but ek favor toh kar sakti ho na! Mall chalo please wo Roja ke liye ek party wear lena hain aur tum hogi toh help ho jayegi." Parth said when Sanyukta looked at him curiously.

"Party wear!" She was confused when Parth told her about the party.

"What again party and you became agree to go there!" Sanyukta said surprisingly.

"What to do! Both Arjun and Vidushi came to my office to invite us I would look ugly if we won't attend it." Parth said helplessly.

"Okay but why party wear?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"Cause I want to break that Vidushi's pride. Usse aapne khubsoorti par bahut ghamand hain na so I want to show her that there are someone who is thousand times more beautiful than her." Parth said firmly.

"Are you serious about Roja?" Sanyukta asked thus Parth became short of words.

"No it's not like that" He stammered a little. "Aur phir jhoot toh tumne bola aur phas hum gaye." Parth made a face.

"But why am feeling like that you are enjoying this lie!" Sanyukta said when Parth rolled his eyes.

"Misconception madam, aab tum please jaldi se ready ho jau so that we can go for shopping." Parth changed the topic.

"But Parth mera saach mein mann nehi hain." Sanyukta said when watering the rose plant.

"Okay aagar tum yehi chahati ho ke uss Vidushi ke samne main haar jau toh phir thik hain mat chalo, aakhir hum aapke hain koyn!" Parth made a sad face when Sanyukta smiled a little.

"Dramebaz! Okay okay yeh emotional blackmail karna bandh karo am coming with you." Sanyukta said when Parth smiled brightly.

"That's my bestie." He pulled her cheek.

"Aur haan iss rose plant ko jyada pain mat peelao kahi dub ke maar hi na jaye bechari!" Parth said teasingly.

"Kuch vi." She made a face.

"Okay jaldi se ready hoke aah jau am waiting." Parth said and left from there next. Sanyukta get ready quickly and left with Parth. On the way they picked up Roja and went to the shopping mall.

The trio shopped then take dinner and went for a movie. Sanyukta was less interested to watching any movie but can't deny Parth. Parth and Roja were enjoying the movie when Sanyukta was lost in somewhere. Roja noticed that and asked Parth thus he told her everything.

"She doesn't agree but is missing Randhir terribly." Parth said when Roja felt bad.

"Why love hurts?" Roja said slowly.

"Love always hurt but uss dard mein vi ek ajeeb si khushi milti hain." Parth said looking at Roja when their gaze met and they lost in each other again.

After the show the trio went for their house. Parth dropped Roja at her house and they came back to the mansion.

"It's too late sab soo gaye lagte hain." Sanyukta said checked the time.

"Okay aab tum vi jake soo jau." Parth said when Sanyukta bid a good bye to him and went to her room. She entered and found the room all dark.

"Yeh lights kyu off hain!" She said curiously when a strong smell of aftershave lotion hit her nostrils.

"Cause vampire are came out at the darkness baby."

"Randhirrrrr..." Sanyukta said in disbelief as Randhir whispered near her ear. She turned around and about to say something but her words died in her throat as Randhir sealed her lips with him next.
