After function all the guests were taking the dinner when Roja was looking for Parth.

"Excuse me, aapne Parth sir ko kahi dekha?" Roja asked to a maid.

"Ji Parth baba toh pool side mein baithe huye hain." The maid informed her thus Roja took two plates and went to the pool side area.

Anjali and Ragini were still laughing and talking about Randhir and Parth's dancing when Sanyukta excused herself and went to their room. She entered at the room and saw Randhir was sitting on the bed with a foul mood. She smiled a little and sat down beside him.

"Naraz ho? Maine bola tha bhagne ko but tumne suna nehi aur dekha na keya huya!" Sanyukta said sitting beside him.

"I'll never forget this insult Sanyukta. The baby is equally mine so I have the right to stay at the rituals too." Randhir frowned dangerously.

"Toh phir tum thay na waha rituals main, toh phir aab gussa kyu kar rahe ho?" She asked curiously.

"Kyu gussa kar raha hu? As if tumhe kuch pata hi nehi! Di aur bhabhi ne sabke samne humara pant utar diya!" Randhir said furiously.

"Jhoot mat bolo tumne kapde strip nehi kiye thay!" Sanyukta said playfully.

"Haaso mat mujhe gussa aah raha hain!" Randhir said angrily.

"Aur mujhe tum par pyar aah raha hain. Aur aagar aaise hi gussa karte rahoge toh phir mera pyar vi badta rahega." She hushed when he kept mum.

"Aur phir tum isse punishment kyu soch rahe ho think it as a fun. After all aapne biwi ki baby shower mein hi dance kiya na wo vi aapne baby ke liye. Aur aagar girls baby shower mein dance kar sakti hain toh phir boys kyu nehi! After all ladke kisise kam thodi na hain!" She said cupping his face when he looked at her.

"You know what I hate you, you are also just like them. Instead of saving me you were laughing too! Khud ki biwi ka baby shower gate crash kiya tha, koi LOC cross nehi kiya tha jo itni badi punishment mila!" He frowned when she controlled her smile.

"Wo keya hain na Randhir main normal hu, aur aagar kuch funny hoga toh phir hasungi hi na!" She said teasingly when he made a balloon face. Just then someone knocked the door thus Sanyukta opened it and saw the maid stood there with their dinner.

"Bahurani aapke aur baba ke liye dinner, malkin ne bheja hain." The maid said thus Sanyukta said her to keep it on the table.

"Mujhe nehi khana." Randhir said after the maid left.

"Kyu?" Sanyukta asked rolling her eyes.

"Bhukh nehi hain bass." Randhir frowned when Sanyukta smiled a little.

"Okay toh phir main aur baby vi nehi khayenge. Jab ke hum dono ko bahut bhukh laagi hain." Sanyukta said and sat down on the couch.

"Kyu, tum kyu nehi khayogi? Bhukh laagi hain na tumhe toh phir bhukhi kyu rahogi?" Randhir asked curiously.

"Kyu ki tum bhukhe ho aur main bhukhe insan ke samne nehi kha sakti." She made a face when Randhir sighed and went near her. He took the plate and took a morsel from it and forwarded at her.

"For baby, please. Aagar tum nehi khayogi toh phir wo vi bhukhi rahegi na." Randhir said slowly when Sanyukta took a morsel and forwarded at him also.

"For me and the baby. Aagar tum nehi khayoge toh phir hum kaise kha sakte hain, please." She pleaded when Randhir smiled a little.

"I hate you. Main jab vi naraz hota hu tum aake mana leti ho aur mujhe gussa karne ka chance nehi milta!" He pouted and ate that when Sanyukta smiled also.

"Jaise mujhe rulane ka haq sirf tumhe hain waise hi tumhe gussa dilane ka haq sirf mera hain aur main aapna haq kisi ko vi chhinne nehi dungi." She said teasingly and ate the morsel when Randhir smiled brightly.

"What about pyar karne ka haq! Kabhi usse vi use kar lo!" He said naughtily when she blushed.

"I love you." She whispered and peaked his lips quickly leave him stunned but that for a moment as he smirked next.

"It's not enough wifey. After that performance I want my full payment with bonus too." He said huskily and captured her lips next.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Roja came to the pool side area and saw Parth, who was sitting on a bench thus she went there and sat beside him.

"Aapke liye khana layi hu, kha lijiye." Roja said kept the plates when Parth kept mum.

"At least baat toh kijiye. Why are you angry on me?" She asked confusingly.

"So finally you get some time for your boyfriend?" Parth asked coldly when Roja became confused.

"Sir what are you talking about, maine aapko kab avoid kiya?" She asked shockingly.

"As a girlfriend tumne mujhe time diya hi kab tha! No date, no romance nothing. Yeha tak ke office mein vi strictly profesional ho tum. Socha tha aaj saath mein thoda time spend karenge but tum toh function mein hi busy thi or I must say mera mazak udane mein!" He said sternly.

"Main keya karti sir? Anjali ma'am and Ragini ma'am ko main kuch kaise bol sakti thi! Aagar kuch bolti toh phir unhen shak ho jata." She said anxiously.

"Then what are you doing here with me? Aagar kisine tumhe mere saath yeha par dekh liya toh phir usse shak ho jayega, so better you leave." He said sternly when Roja kept her hand on his hand.

"Am sorry ke main aandar kuch bol nehi payi, darr gayi thi main. Lekin iss waqt aapko aakela chhod kar main kahi nehi jayungi chahe kuch vi ho jaye." She said slowly yet steadily when he looked at her.

"Bola tha na chale jane ko, aap meri baat kyu nehi mante?" She asked softly.

"Bestfriend ki baby shower mein geya tha koi international border nehi cross kiya tha jo sab aaise treat karenge!" He frowned dangerously.

"Haan toh bestfriend ki baby shower mein hi dance kiya na then why are you so upset! Aapne dekha nehi Sanyukta kitni khush thi aaj? Kamse kam uske liye toh smile kijiye." She said when Parth kept mum.

"Okay mat kijiye but at least khana toh kha lijiye." Roja said with care.

"Nehi khana mujhe and why do you care for me? Tum bass aapni reputation ke ware mein socho aagar kisine hume saath mein dekh liya toh phir keya hoga! Bass yehi tumhare dimag mein chal raha hain, hain na!" He said horaesly when Roja's face became stiffen. She went near him and smashed her lips on his lips next.

"I think now you get your answer ke mere dimag mein keya chal raha hain. Am not worried about my reputation am worried about you only." She said furiously when he looked at her in extreme shock.

"Haan aandar kuch bol nehi payi but iss liye nehi ke sabko humare ware mein pata chal jayega. Iss liye cause am an ordinary employee of Shekhawat Empire aur mujhe aapne boss ki family matter mein interfere karne ka koi haq nehi hain. That's the reason or nothing else." She said angrily and turned her face when Parth kept his hand on her hand.

"You are not just an employee, you are the family." He said softly when she looked at him.

"Am sorry for being harsh on you but hum naraz unse hote hain jisse hum pyar karte hain." Parth said with a smile when her eyes became soften.

"Aagar aap saach much mujhse pyar karte hain toh phir khana kha lijiye." She said next.

"Aapne haato se toh humesha khata hu aaj tum khila do." He said when she rolled her eyes.

"That's not my duty." She replied faking arrogance.

"Am your boss aur mera take care karna tumhara duty hain." Parth said playfully.

"Mere contract mein aaisa koi clause nehi hain." She replied playfully.

"Ohh really, then I have to add some clause in it in an emergency basis." Parth said smirking at her.

"Okay wo aap jab karenge tab karenge, lekin pehele khana kha lijiye." She said when Parth smirked and leaned towards her.

"What are you doing?" She asked nervously.

"Taking my dinner." He said when her cheeks flushed.

"Shut up aur chup chap khana khaiye." She said hiding her blush.

"Yeah sure baby, but you know what main dessert se khana start karta hu." He said huskily and captured her lips next.

"So Randhir and Sanyukta ke bich ki saari problem khatam ho gayi hain, you must be very happy now." Roja said as they finished their dinner.

"Of course am happy. Actually more then happy. Am feeling like won a battle. Jaise yeh dono ek dusre ke jaan ke dushman thay I can't believe ke kabhi inn dono mein pyar vi hoga!" Parth said in disbelief.

"Haan kabhi dono ek dusre ke jaan ke dushman thay aur aaj ek dusre par jaan chhirakte hain. Aapne toh impossible ko possible kar diya!" Roja said happily when Parth smiled too.

"After all am Parth the cupid. Koi mere tir se baach nehi sakta!" He said proudly.

"Yeap, finally mission accomplished. Well done soldier." She said playfully when Parth laughed.

"Thank you Major." He said playfully thus Roja smiled too.

"Chalo jiss kaam ke liye main India aaya tha wo toh pura ho geya, now back to USA." Parth said when Roja's face fall terribly. How became she forgot the reason behind his staying here. He was here only because of his family. He was here to shorted the differences between Randhir and Sanyukta. And now when everything was solved he must be go back to his home. The realisation shake her deep inside from the core.

"Aur aab toh rukne ka koi bahana vi nehi hain jisse bol kar kuch din aur ruk saku! So I think I should go back with my family." Parth said when Roja gulped hard. She doesn't think it in her wildest dream that one day will come when he have to leave that too forever. The thought of a life without him made her feel so vulnerable. All those moments they spend together flashed in front of her eyes when her eyes became moist.

No no no, she can't be weak. She have to be strong for her family. Yes she love him but she can't be selfish. He has his family too and he must go back with them. She doesn't have any right to stop him here. But it's her heart which became selfies with each passing second.

"Sir I think I should go now. Granny is waiting for me." Roja said controlling her tears. She get up with a heavy heart and about to go when he said from behind,

"Will you come with me Miss D'souza?" Parth asked from behind when Roja skipped a beat. She turned around and looked at him when he get up and came near her.

"Will you come with me as my wife? Will you marry me Roja?" Parth asked holding her hand when tears rolling down from her eyes.

"No, I can't." Roja said when Parth left her hand in disbelief.

"What but why? Don't you love me?" He asked shockingly.

"I love you sir and will love to marry you but at the same time I can't leave my family too. They have no one except me. And I can't go with you left them alone here, am sorry." She said in between her tears when Parth sighed hard.

"You know what D'souza, I know am not a very noble person but I don't think am deserve this!" Parth said sadly when Roja looked at him confusingly.

"I asked you to come with me not to left your family. Maybe it's all my fault that's why you think this much low about me!" Parth said in disappointment when Roja became shocked to listening this.

"But sir..." Roja was confused.

"Am not talking about you only am talking about my whole family including granny and Peter you fool!" Parth said anxiously when Roja froze for a moment then hugged him next and bursted out into tears when Parth rolled his eyes.

"Yeh achchha hain, pehele dil dukhao phir khud hi aasu bahao! I mean aab toh tumhe daat vi nehi sakta main!" He said playfully when Roja was still sobbing.

"It's okay, it's okay baby. How could you even think about me like that! Meri family ki har ek problem mein tum mere saath thi toh phir main tumhe tumhari family problem mein aakeli kaise chhod sakta hu, haan!" He said caressing her back when her tears came to a halt.

"Am sorry." She said slowly when he broke the hug and looked at her.

"Your sorry isn't accepted Madam P.A!" He said playfully.

"Kyu?" She asked slowly.

"You have to be punish for doubting on my love." He said thus she nodded positively.

"Okay, aap jo vi punishment denge mujhe manjoor hain." She said slowly when he smiled a little and cupped her face next.

"Okay so the punishment is you have to do overtime for the rest of your life as Mrs. Roja Parth Kashysp." He said huskily when she blushed a little.

"Mere contract paper mein aaisa koi clause nehi hain." She said shyly.

"Okay main aabhi new clause add kar deta hu!" He said naughtily and about to kiss her when she said,

"Harsh sir." Roja said when Parth rolled his eyes.

"Not this time. You can't make me fool every time D'souza!" He smirked at her.

"Sir am not lying, Harsh sir is coming towards us along with your dad." Roja said nervously.

"Is it so then let them come, I don't afraid from anyone!" Parth said proudly.

"Ohh really, you don't afraid from anyone?" Came a firm voice from behind thus Parth turned around quickly and became froze to saw his father in front of him along with Harsh.

"Dad aap!" Parth said nervously.

"So what are you saying son?" Vardhan asked sternly.

"Wo-wo dad I was saying to Miss D'souza that I don't afraid anyone instead of you and bade papa." Parth was stammered badly.

"Ohh I see!" Vardhan raised his brow when Parth gulped hard.

"I think the function was inside at the house then what are you doing here?" Harsh asked to Roja.

"Sorry sir, wo I have to discuss something important with Kashysp sir." Roja said nervously.

"I think you came here for the function not for any official work. Go inside, Renuka is looking for you." Harsh said when Roja nodded positively and left from there.

"Okay am also going inside." Parth said and about to go when stopped by Vardhan.

"Wait, I have some words with you." Vardhan said in an icy cold voice when Parth nodded helplessly.

"Who is she?" Vardhan asked looking straight into Parth's eyes when he lowered his lashes.

"Dad she is Roja D'souza, my personal assistant." Parth replied slowly.

"Who is she Parth?" Vardhan asked again.

"Dad she is Randhir's bestfriend and Sanyukta's friend too. Sanyukta invited her." Parth replied when admiring the ground.

"Parth for the last time am asking you who is that girl?" Vardhan asked coldly.

"I already gave you the answer dad." Parth replied slowly.

"Haan jawab de chuke ho lekin sahi jawab aab doge, wo vi mere aankhon mein aankhein daal kar. Come on son speak up." Vardhan said firmly when Parth looked into his eyes and take a deep breath.

"I love her dad and want to marry her." Parth replied in a confident way.

"And what about the girl? Is she wants the same?" Vardhan asked when Parth nodded positively.

"Yes dad, she love me too and I promised her to be with her rest of my life." Parth replied firmly.

"Bina humare permission ke tumne use promise kaise kar diya Parth?" Vardhan asked sternly.

"Dad aaj tak maine har kaam aap logo ke permission leke hi kiya hain aur aaj aapne zindegi ki sabse badi decision lete waqt main yeh expect karunga ke aap aur mom mujhe support karenge." Parth replied slowly yet steadily.

"What if main aur Maya tumhe support na kare toh! Uss ladki ke saath bhag jayoge?" Vardhan asked in a chest voice.

"Don't worry dad main aaisa kuch nehi karunga jisse aapki reputation kharab ho. Aur aagar galti se maine aaisa kuch karne ka soch vi liya toh phir wo Roja hogi jo mera saath nehi degi! Kyu ki ek rishta tod kar dusra rishta jodne wali ladki wo nehi hain dad." Parth said proudly.

"Aur tum ek aaisi ladki se shaadi karna chahate ho jo time aane par tumhara saath nehi degi?" Vardhan asked shockingly.

"Dad hum jinse pyar karte hain unko galti karne se rokte hain that doesn't mean ke hum unke saath nehi hain yeah phir unke against hain. Ussi tarha Roja vi mere against nehi hain haan but mere galat decision ki against jarur hogi." Parth said slowly yet steadily.

"Kisi par itna blindly trust karna sahi nehi hain Parth. Jab trust tutega bahut dard hoga bete." Vardhan said softly this time.

"But I think kabhi kabhi hume blindly trust karna chahiye dad, isse yeah toh hume ek sahi insan mill jayega yeah phir zindegi bhad ka sabak mill jayega." Parth replied confidently.

"Hmm so it's seems you get the right person already. Cause you were never this much confident like before." Vardhan said casually when Parth looked at him confusingly.

"Dad!" Parth became confused.

"I want to meet that girl personally." Vardhan said suddenly made Parth anxious.

"Aabhi bulau?" Parth asked excitedly.

"Haan haan kyu nehi Vardhan, tum aabhi mill lo phir kaal inn dono ki shaadi karwa do, parshu dono honeymoon par chale jayenge!" Harsh said playfully and laughed.

"Kyu na shaadi aaj raat hi kar le aur honeymoon par kaal chale jaye!" Parth said in his mind.

"Tum mein patience naam ki koi cheese hain ke nehi Parth? Duniya mein aane ki itni jaldi thi tumhe ke aapne 7th month mein hi aah gaye thay! Aur uss din se lekar aaj tak haar ek baat main jaldi raheta hain tumhe!" Vardhan said horaesly.

"Relax Vardhan bachcha hain!" Harsh said casually.

"Not anymore Harsh bhai sahab. He is mature enough but his actions are still immature." Vardhan said firmly.

"Remember jab hum USA jaa rahe thay, janab ko nehi jana tha humare saath. Toh phir issne airport par itna roya, itna scene create kiya ke police hume enquiry ke liye leke gaye! Thank god Harsh bhai sahab aap thay issi liye koi problem nehi huya." Vardhan said remembered old memories.

"Wo mujhe badi mom ke pass rahena tha, that's why." Parth said slowly.

"Really! Toh phir suddenly school ke bich mein hi wapas kyu aah gaye thay?" Vardhan asked firmly.

"It's okay Vardhan, mood hain change ho geya hoga!" Harsh said casually.

"No it's not okay bhai sahab. Aaj yeh ladka bol raha hain ke isse shaadi karna hain, what if kaal kuch aur kahe! Shaadi koi mazak nehi hain ek bahut badi responsibility hain. What if kaal ko yeh wo responsibility lene se inkar kar de! Phir uss ladki ka keya hoga? Sab kuch toh isske mood ke hisab se nehi ho sakta na!" Vardhan said coldly.

"You are right dad marriage is not a joke, at least not for me. Aur jaise ke hum jante hain India mein shaadi sirf 2 insan ke bich mein nehi 2 families ke bich mein hota hain aur dono ko ek dusre ki family ki responsibility leni padti hain, am ready to take all the responsibilities after the marriage and am damn serious this time." Parth said with determination.

"Vardhan I was wrong, kaal subha nehi aaj raat ko hi dono ki shaadi kar dete hain. Ladka bahut utabla ho raha hain!" Harsh said playfully when Parth's cheeks flushed.

"Parth go and drop that girl at her home aur usse kahena ke kaal subha main usse milna chahata hu, understand!" Vardhan said when Parth nodded positively and left from there quickly.

"Why so serious Vardhan! Your son is walking on your footsteps. You should be proud on him. Aaj toh prove ho geya ke Parth tumhara aur Maya ka hi beta hain. Jaise ke aaj Randhir ne prove kar diya ke wo mera beta hain hospital mein exchange nehi ho geya tha!" Harsh said proudly and laughed hard.

"It's not time to joke bhai sahab, it's a very serious situation. I don't know what will be Maya's reaction after hearing all this!" Vardhan said worriedly and they continue their discussion on it.

                                 * * * * * * * * *

"Just relax okay, don't be nervous. Dad kuch simple sa question karenge tumhe bass uska answer dena hain." Parth said while driving the car when Roja smiled.

"Nervous toh aap laag rahe ho sir, yeh ek hi baat 3rd time bol rahe hain aap!" Roja said with a smile when Parth stopped the car aside and came closer to her.

"Do you love me?" He asked when Roja smiled brightly.

"Kyu aapko doubt hain!" She said slowly.

"Do you love me yes or no?" Parth asked anxiously when Roja peaked his lips.

"Yes." She said with a charming smile on her lips.

"Toh phir meri ek baat manogi please!" Parth said holding her hand when she nodded positively.

"Promise me ke aagar mom dad humare shaadi ke against honge toh phir hum court marriage kar lenge." Parth said when Roja's smile vanished next. She took back her hands and said,

"No I can't promise that sir. Jitni important meri family mere liye hain aur main unke liye utna hi important aap aapne family ke liye ho aur wo aapke liye. Toh phir aagar humari shaadi hogi toh phir unke marzi se hogi warna nehi." Roja said firmly when Parth looked at her shockingly.

"What do you mean by nehi hogi! I can't even think my life without you D'souza aur tumne itni aasani se bol diya ke nehi hogi! What do you think ke aagar humari family iss shaadi se inkar kar denge toh phir main kisi aur se shaadi kar lunga, never!" Parth said in disbelief.

"Maine aaisa kab kaha sir! Main sirf itna bol rahi hu ke hum unke against jake shaadi nehi karenge. Unhen naraz karke hum khush nehi rahe sakte." Roja gulped hard.

"What if wo nehi mane toh?" Parth asked coldly.

"Toh phir hum zindegi bhad shaadi nehi karenge, kisi se vi nehi. Aur aaj main aapse yeh promise karti hu sir ke aagar aap mere zindegi mein nehi aayenge toh phir koi aur kabhi mere zindegi mein nehi aayega, vaadha." Roja said in a firm voice.

"Aagar tum mere zindegi mein nehi aayi toh phir koi aur vi mere zindegi mein nehi aayegi. I promise that too." Parth said firmly when Roja smiled.

"Aab aap meri ek baat manenge?" Roja asked when Parth nodded positively.

"Anything for you." He said caressing her cheek.

"Main aapne past ke ware mein aapke parents ko sab kuch saach saach batana chahati hu." Roja said when Parth became shocked.

"Iski keya jarurat hain? I mean I know everything about you isn't it enough! After all life hum dono ko saath mein nibhana hain." Parth said eagerly.

"Sir main jhoot bol kar koi rishta suru karna nehi chahati. Mere morals mere values iss baat ki permission nehi dete. And I think your parents deserve to know everything. And after that what will they decided am ready to accept that wholeheartedly." Roja said firmly.

"But am not ready to lose you." Parth said adamantly.

"Jhoot bol kar rishta suru karenge toh phir waise vi kuch nehi bachega. Kabhi na kabhi unhen saach pata chal hi jayega phir aap keya karenge sir? So it's better ke main khud unhen saara saach bata du." Roja said determinedly when Parth nodded helplessly.

"But remember unka decision chahe kuch vi ho I love you and will love you for rest of my life." Roja said holding Parth's hand.

"I love you too." Parth said when pressed her hand a little and stats the car next.

                               * * * * * * * * *

"You know you were looking so beautiful today. Main toh bass tumhe dekhta hi rahe gaye tha." Randhir said lovingly when Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"And I didn't recognised you the way you gate crashed. Sabne socha ke aasli swami ji hain, achchhi get up tha." Sanyukta said with a smile.

"Sab tumhara wo buy one get one free offer ka kamal tha." Randhir said playfully.

"Matlab?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Means wo Boby darling! Hum paradise salon gaye thay wo swami ji wala make up ke liye." Randhir said when Sanyukta's eyes became widened.

"Really, she didn't hit on you specially on Parth?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"Don't ask, poor Parth bahut mushkil se aapna izzat bacha kar wapas aaya hain. Wo toh waha par jana hi nehi chahata tha but Roja ke liye jana pada. Log pyar mein keya keya khatra uthata hain koi humse shikhe!" Randhir said proudly.

"Aapni tariff aapni muh se!" Sanyukta said playfully.

"Keya karu, tum karti nehi ho issi liye mujhe hi karna padta hain!" Randhir said playfully.

"Waise tarrif se yaad aaya Vardhan uncle kitna handsome hain na. Aaj mujhe pata chala Parth itna handsome kaise hain! Bilkul aapne dad par geya hain wo." Sanyukta said excitedly when Randhir rolled his eyes.

"Ohh hello Vardhan uncle is like your father so give him some respect. Unke ware mein respect se baat karo!" Randhir frowned dangerously.

"Yes Vardhan uncle is like my father so stop become jealous of him." Sanyukta said annoyingly.

"It's all because of you, only for you I have to feel jealous so you have to payback for it." Randhir said firmly.

"Payback!" Sanyukta became confused.

"You have to kiss me right now for making me jealous." Randhir said when Sanyukta blushed hard.

"In your dreams." She said shyly.

"I can't wait till then." Randhir said and captured her lips next. He was kissing her passionately when the door knocked thus ending their moments.

"Pyar ke dushman!" Randhir murmured under his breath when opened the door and made an obvious face.

"Who else than you Parth! You know what tujhe toh censor board mein hona chahiye tha!" Randhir said annoyingly when Parth entered.

"Tu dekhna tere suhagraat par teri aur Roja ke bich mein baitha rahunga puri raat! Ludo khelenge hum 4 eksaath, okay!" Randhir said annoyingly.

"Wo sab toh tab hoga na jab humari shaadi hogi! Aur shaadi hogi ke nehi wo kaal subha decided hoga." Parth said slowly made the duo confused.

"What do you mean Parth?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"Dad wants to meet Roja. Unhone usse kaal subha bulaya hain." Parth said made them stunned.

"Uncle ko kisne pata chala iss ware mein, tumne bataya?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"No, he caught us red handed at the pool side." Parth replied.

"Yaar itni badi mansion mein tujhe romance karne ke liye aur koi jagah nehi mila tha! I mean pool side koi jagah hain! Garden mein chala jata na dono, kisi jhaad ke piche cocky-coo karte!" Randhir said mockingly.

"Randhir will you please shut up, yeh mazak ka waqt nehi hain it's really a serious situation." Sanyukta said annoyingly.

"Aare keya serious situation, kaal uncle Roja se mileage aur phir saadhi fix kar denge. Aur phir jayega Parth Kashysp ki barat wo vi ghodi mein! Main sherwani ka order de deta hu!" Randhir said excitedly.

"It's not that easy Randhir. Roja aapne past ke ware mein mom and dad ko sab kuch saach saach bata dena chahati hain." Parth said made them shocked.

"What the hell, are she out of her mind! Jab tujhe uski past pata hain toh phir sabko batane ki keya jarurat hain!" Randhir said anxiously.

"Roja jhoot bol kar rishta suru karna nehi chahati, it's against her principal." Parth replied slowly.

"Principals my foot, I'll talk to her." Randhir said and about to call Roja when Sanyukta stopped her.

"No Randhir, I think Roja is right." Sanyukta said.

"Please aab tum inn morals and values par lecture dena suru mat karna! Keya mila hain tumhe inko follow karke! Humiliation, sabki taunt, easy catch hone ka tag, aasu yehi na! Roja ko vi yehi sab milega aagar usne saach bola toh. Morals, values, principal inn sabki koi jagah nehi hain aaj ki society mein!" Randhir said firmly.

"Galat; morals, values aur principal ki aaj vi utna hi kadar ki jati hain Randhir jitna pehele, or else tum kabhi nehi badlte. Aur waise vi yeh tum aur main decide nehi kar sakte, yeh life Roja ki hain toh phir usse hi decide karne do." Sanyukta said firmly.

"Sanyukta please kyu barbad karna chahati ho inka life! Roja ko chhodo Parth toh tumhara bestfriend hain na, kamse kam uski life toh barbad mat karo! Saach janne ke baad aagar gharwale raazi nehi huye toh?" Randhir asked in disbelief.

"Toh phir hum dono mill kar unhen raazi karwayenge. Main Parth yeah phir Roja kisiki life badbad hone nehi dungi, trust me." Sanyukta said confidently.

                                * * * * * * * * *

There at Shekhawat mansion everyone became shocked after listening Parth's affair that too with Roja. Maya became furious on Parth for hiding such thing from her when Renuka tried to cool her down. The whole night passed away when both Parth and Roja can't able to sleep thinking about what will be in their fate. As the morning crept Roja get up and went inside the washroom. She came out after freshen up and get ready quickly.

"Beta aaj toh sunday hain na toh phir subha subha kaha jaa rahi ho?" Granny asked curiously.

"Granny pehele church jayungi phir Shekhawat mansion, wo sir ne bulaya hain." Roja informed her.

"Okay boyfriend se kahena ke aapne girlfriend se aake mile. Bahut din ho geya hain boyfriend ko dekhe huye." Granny said when Roja smiled a little and left next.

On the other hand Parth became restless with each passing second thinking about previous night.

"Parth relax, everything will be fine." Sanyukta assured him.

"Seriously sab thik ho jayega na Sanyukta? Mom aur dad Roja ko accept kar lega na?" Parth asked anxiously.

"Aagar nehi vi accept karenge toh vi keya you both are adults so direct court mein jake shaadi kar lena. Main aur Sanyukta witness ban jayenge." Randhir said became carefree.

"Tum dono bhai na ek dom carbon copy ho ek dusre ki! Jab dekho ghar se bhaag jayunga, ghar chhod dunga yeh sab bolte raheto ho! Thank god ghar ke decision ladies lete hain otherwise pata nehi keya hota!" Sanyukta said annoyingly.

"Haan haan ladkiya toh jaise ghar todti hi nehi hain! Badi aayi bolne wali!" Randhir frowned dangerously.

"Dekho tum..." Sanyukta showed her finger to him.

"Please stop it guys. Ek toh main itna tension mein hu aur upor se tum dono lad rahe ho!" Parth let out his frustration.

"Relax, tension mat le sab thik ho jayega. Main hu na. Chal aab niche chalte hain Roja must be come anytime." Randhir said and the trio went down. They came to the living room and saw almost everyone present there at the breakfast table thus they sat down too. Everyone was taking their breakfast silently when Parth was steeling glances of his parents.

"Maasi, uncle wo Roja is a very nice girl. Bahut achchhi ladki hain wo, she is my bestfriend aur mujhse better usse koi nehi janta, trust me." Randhir said suddenly.

"Keya maine tumse pucha Randhir ke wo kaisi ladki hain! Maybe she us a nice girl but wo Parth ke liye sahi hain ke nehi wo hum decide karenge." Maya said firmly thus Randhir became tongue tied.

Roja came out from the auto and checked the time. She felt relaxed as she was on time. The watchman opened the gate saw her thus she take a deep breath and went inside.

"This way ma'am. Vardhan sir is in the study room." An attendant show her the way thus Roja went there. She was about to knock the door when saw Parth was coming down. They looked at each other for a moment and Roja knocked the door next.

"Come in." Roja heard a firm voice and entered inside next.

"Good morning sir." Roja greeted him when Vardhan looked at her from the book.

"So you are on time, good." Vardhan said firmly looking at Roja.

"Sit down." He said when Roja sat down.

"I think you know that why I called you here!" Vardhan said closed the book.

"Yes sir." Roja replied. "Aur mujhe laga tha ke Maya ma'am vi hongi yeha par." She added when Vardhan smiled.

"Do you know young lady that Maya is not very pleased after listening about you." Vardhan said looking straight into her eyes.

"No I don't know that sir but I guess that. There are so many differences between me and Kashysp sir, specially our religion." Roja replied slowly.

"You have to think it before young lady before you fall for my son." Vardhan said firmly.

"Sir pyar ek aaisi cheese hain jo soch samajh kar nehi kiya jata lekin maine bahut soch samajh kar Kashysp sir se pyar kiya hain." Roja said slowly.

"Interesting, very very interesting Miss D'souza. Toh phir tumne soch samajh kar pyar kiya hain Parth se! And why not he is a dashing N.R.I and multimillionaire also, koi bewakuf hi hoga jo mere bete se pyar nehi karega!" Vardhan said mockingly when Roja smiled a little.

"Sir aapka aaisa sochna galat nehi hain, in fact koi vi yehi sochega ke main Kashysp sir ki paiso ke wajase unse pyar karti hu. Lekin baat aagar sirf yehi hota toh phir main sochti hi kyu, itna time waste kyu karti!" Roja said slowly.

"Reason chahe kuch vi ho young lady tum yeh bilkul vi mat sochna ke Parth humare against jake tumhara saath dega." Vardhan said sternly.

"Main aaisa bilkul nehi chahati sir. Main nehi chahati ke Kashysp sir mere wajase aapne family ki against jaye. Mere ware mein sab kuch janne ke baad vi aagar aap log mujhe accept karte hain toh phir thik hain warna don't worry main Kashysp sir se humesha ke liye dur chali jayungi. I promise." Roja said slowly yet steadily.

"Tumhare ware mein aaisa keya hain jo hum nehi jante?" Vardhan asked curiously.

"Mera past sir. Jisse sunne ke baad aap definitely mujhe Kashysp sir ki layek nehi samjhenge. But I think it's my duty to tell you the truth sir." Roja said made Vardhan curious.

"Kaisa saach?" Vardhan asked curiously. Roja take a deep breath then looked at him.

"Sir I was a bar singer." Roja said after a pause.

"What!" Vardhan said in disbelief.

"Yes sir I was a bar singer at Red Rose bar for some months. And I can't hide such thing from you." Roja said slowly.

"And what do you think yeh sab janne ke baad vi hum tumhe accept kar lenge!" Vardhan said horaesly.

"Sir it's my duty to tell you the truth and I did it. Now it's up to you to take the decision. Though I know very well that am already rejected but one request sir please don't be harsh on Kashysp sir. He is a very sensitive person and I can't see him in tears. Have a good day sir." Roja said and get up when Vardhan was in a state of shock. Roja hold her tears and came out from the room and saw Parth was stood near by. As soon as Parth saw Roja to came out from the room he went near her quickly.

"What happened? Dad ne keya kaha?" Parth asked impatiently when Roja smiled in between her tears.

"I think it's our last meeting sir." Roja said forcing a smile.

"Roja!" Parth gulped hard.

"Roja sounds better instead of Miss D'souza." She said forcing a smile when Parth's eyes became moist.

"Don't be a cry baby like before aur haan sharab ko haat lagane ke ware mein toh bilkul vi mat sochiye ga warna bahut marungi. Aapna kheyal rakhna and if possible toh cigarette chhod dijiye ga, ek new Ferrari ho jayega." She chuckled a little.

"Main dad se baat karta hu." Parth said anxiously.

"It's over sir, achchha hoga aap vi samajh jaiye." Roja said gulped down own pain.

"Nehi main nehi samjhunga aur nahi samajhna chahata hu. I love you and that's the only truth. Mujhe aur kuch nehi janna." Parth said impatiently.

"It's too late sir, maine aapke dad se promise kiya hain ke main aapki life se dur chali jayungi." Roja said with lots of difficulties.

"Tum hoti koyn ho mere life ki decision lene wali?" Parth said furiously.

"Sir yeh decision humne saath mein liya tha na, ke aagar humari family humari rishte ko accept nehi karte hain toh phir hum unka decision accept karenge." Roja said shutting Parth's mouth.

"No I can't." Parth said with a broken voice.

"We have to sir. Otherwise yeh humari pyar ki haar hain." Roja said also in a broken voice.

"Phir milogi na?" Parth asked hopefully when Roja nodded a no.

"Good bye sir. Stay blessed." Roja said and came out from the mansion next unable to hide her tears anymore when silent tears came out from Parth's eyes too. Two souls were drenched in own pain.
