"What are you doing Randhir?" Sanyukta asked shockingly when tried to push him.

"Aare I am asking for a date baby!" He winked at her.

"Move!" She pushed him hard.

"I am not interested in going anywhere with you, understand!" She said after pushing him.

"Toh kya sirf Parth ke saath jane mein interested ho?" Came his stern voice.

"Don't drag Parth all the time, he is not like you and stopped interfering in my life all the time Randhir." She clenched her jaw.

"Jaise mujhe tumhare life mein koi interest nahi hai waise tum bhi meri life mein interest dikhana bandh karo aur dur raho mujhse!" She said angrily.

"Aare tum se shaadi dur rehne ke liye thodi na kiya hai wifey!" He gave her a cocky smile when grabbed her one hand.

"Yeah why not, waise iss baar kya plan hai tumhara, jaan se marne ka irada hai kya?" She asked in a sarcastic way.

"You doubted me? Baby how could you do this to me! It's hurting, you know!" He made a face.

"Aur aise bhi agar tum marr jayogi toh main torture kis ka karunga my love?" He smirked devilishly.

"Whatever, but I am not going anywhere with you." She replied with determination.

"Kyun darr lag raha hai, are you scared of me Sanyukta?" Randhir played his card. "You should be. The lesson I taught you last time, you must be scared of me." He smirked again.

"Scared my foot." She twisted her lips.

"Okay then come with me and prove it." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't need to prove anything to you, understand! Now get lost." She said casually when he signed in defeat. Just then Anjali came with Sanyukta's lunch.

"Aare bhabhi aap kyun lekar aayi?" Sanyukta asked hesitantly.

"It's okay Sanyukta." Anjali passed a smile.

"Randhir mom is looking for you." Anjali informed him.

"What, why?" He asked confusingly.

"Shayed tumhara tarif karne ke liye!" Sanyukta smirked at him when he glared at her and left.

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

After two days Sanyukta got well. Parth was with her all the time which irked Randhir the most.

"So guys aaj ka kya plan hai?" Rajveer asked at the breakfast table.

"Nothing special bro, bass college ja raha hu." Randhir replied casually.

"Ohh matlab Sanyukta bhi ja rahi hai?" Rajveer asked and Sanyukta's face lit up hearing this.

"No bro, wo kaise jayegi! She is still weak. I think she needs rest." Randhir faked concerns.

"Haan, waise bhi ab shaadi ke baad college jane ka kya matlab?" Ragini said thus Sanyukta's face got fall.

"College jake kya karegi matlab, apni degree complete karegi aur kya!" Anjali replied.

"Sanyukta ko degree complete karke kaun sa job karna hai! Wo Shekhawat khandan ki bahu hai, use kis baat ki kami?" Ragini said in a sarcastic way.

"Aur phir iss ne college mein jo kiya tha uske baad uncle kya Sanyukta ko jane denge, kyun aunty?" Arpita said in a teasing way looking at Renuka.

"Kya matlab? Kisne kya kiya tha?" Parth asked surprisingly.

"Umm...kuch nahi Parth. Papa purane zamane ki hai, love marriages ki khilaf, bass wohi." Anjali covered up.

"Toh love marriage karne ke liye Sanyukta college nahi ja sakti, ye kaisi baat hai! Aur agar bade papa ko love marriage se problem hai toh punishment sirf Sanyukta ko kyun Randhir ko bhi milna chahiye! Badi mom aap please bade papa se iss ware mein baat kariye." Parth said surprisingly when Sanyukta lowered her lashes to hide her tears. Just then Harsh came down.

"Rajveer mera ek presentation ka kaam thoda baki hai toh main thodi der baad office jaunga, tum sambhal loge tab tak?" Harsh asked, looking at him.

"Yes dad, don't worry, I'll manage." Rajveer replied thus Harsh was about to go but stopped by Renuka.

"Ji wo bacche college jana chahte hai." Renuka said.

"Haan toh jaane do." He said and turned to go.

"Ji wo Sanyukta bhi jana chahti thi." Renuka said thus Harsh turned to her.

"Mujhe bahu ka ghar se bahar jana pasand nahi, aur iss baat ka khayal tumhe rakhna hai!" Harsh said slowly yet sternly thus Renuka nodded positively.

"What's this, bade papa aise ek tarfa decision nahi le sakte!" Parth said after Harsh left from there.

"Look Parth kis condition mein hamari shaadi huyi thi tu kuch nahi janta! Dad iss rishte se bilkul khush nahi thay, lekin phir bhi wo hamare khushi ke liye maan gaye. Agar wo hamare khushi ke liye apni zid chhod sakte hai toh kya hum unki khushi ke liye itna sa sacrifice nahi kar sakte, kyun Sanyukta?" Randhir said looking at Sanyukta when she excused herself and left from there.

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

Sanyukta came to their room and broke down into tears. She can't believe that Randhir played another dirty game. Just then someone forwarded a handkerchief at her.

"Ye lo aansu poch lo, abhi toh zindagi bhar bahana hai!" Randhir smirked at her.

"Randhir maine tum jaisa ghatiya insaan apni puri zindagi mein nahi dekha! Pith piche waar kyun karte ho, dam hai toh samne se karo! Main tumhare saath bahar nahi gayi iss liye tum ye sab kar rahe ho na?" She grabbed his collar.

"Sanyukta...Sanyukta...Sanyukta!" Randhir holds her shoulders.

"Apne aap ko itna importance dena bandh karo wifey! Main tumhare saath akela bahar jane ke liye thodi na marr raha hu. Wo toh maine socha ke mere wajah se tum itni injured ho gayi toh, for once tumhe ek change de du but you lost the chance baby!" He smirked at her.

"Toh niche wo sacrifice ki drama kyun kiya! Tumhari galti ki wajah se sacrifice main kyun du?" She gritted her teeth.

"Aare I am your husband Sanyukta, tum mere liye sacrifice nahi dogi toh kaun dega!" He made a face.

"Husband my foot." She stomped her foot on the floor.

"Chu...chu...chu, ab ye sab karne ka kya faida Sanyukta! Ab toh sab khatam ho gaya hai! Tumhari dream, tumhari carrier everything is just finished, Sanyukta." He smirked when tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Tumhe kya laga mom ko pata logi toh wo tumhare liye bolengi but I wonder ke mom dad ke khilaf jake tumhari help kaise karengi!" He smirked devilishly.

"All the best Sanyukta." He showed her thumbs down and about to go when she said from behind.

"I hate you Randhir." Sanyukta said between her tears.

"But I love you baby!" He gave her a flying kiss and left the room with a victorious smile.

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

Sanyukta was looking outside through the glass when she heard footsteps behind, she turned around and saw Parth there, she quickly turned her face to hide her tears.

"Muh chupane se kya aansu bhi chhip jayenge Sanyukta?" He asked standing beside her when she kept mum.

"Aare jab maine badi mom se tumhare ware mein suna toh mujhe laga ke tum ek alag kisam ki ladki ho. Apne dreams ke liye ladne wali, aur tum ladne ke wajaye yahan khadi hoke aansu baha rahi ho!" Parth said surprisingly.

"Toh phir main kya karu bata sakte ho?" She almost screamed.

"Fight Sanyukta, fight for your dreams, fight for your rights." Parth said in a firm voice.

"Ladai dushman ke saath lada jata hai Parth, apno ke saath nahi." She said in a gloomy voice.

"But tum aise haar nahi maan sakti!" He held her hand.

"Main bahut pahle hi haar chuki hu Parth." She said in mind.

"No Parth, ab kuch nahi ho sakta. Maa mujhe apne beti se bhi jyada pyar karti hai. Main nahi chahti ki mere wajah se maa aur papa ke bich mein koi misunderstanding ho! Agar meri haar mein unki jeet hai toh yahi sahi."She left the room immediately.

"No Sanyukta mere hote huye tum haar nahi maan sakti! Main apne dost ko aise harne nahi dunga." He said determinedly and took out his phone and dialled a number next.

Sanyukta came out from the room when she bumped with Randhir in the corridor.

"Aare why are you in a hurry baby, ghar par hi ho na?" He smirked at her when she kept mum. He could see her wet eyelashes and tears stricken face.

"Tears suit on your face baby. Aisi roti huyi sakal leke dad ke samne chali jau, shayad wo maan jaye!" He smirked at her when she turned to go but stopped by him.

"Told you Sanyukta, you will mess with me and I'll make your life hell! Mom scolded me just because of you, she was so upset and didn't even talk to me, it's all because of you and you have to pay for this." He gritted his teeth when she looked at him silently.

"What was you think that I'll forget all this then you are highly mistaken Sanyukta. Neither I forget nor I forgive you." He said those words bitterly and left when she stood there numb.

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

Randhir came to the college in a jolly mood and met with Jiggy and Yoyo.

"Hey what's up guys." Randhir asked joyfully.

"Fine dude." They all gave hi-fi when Laila came there.

"Hi Randhir." She said, taking a seat beside him.

"Laila just don't talk to me." Randhir said irritatingly.

"Baby just listen to me once." She pouted.

"Now what explanation will you give me for that day?" He asked angrily.

"Sorry baby, wo last month's birthday was all fake. That was my passport's birth date. This one was original." She replied, holding his hand.

"Laila ye wala kahi PAN card ka birth date toh nahi hai na!" Yoyo said playfully.

"Haan, aur next month may be voter card wala birthday hoga!" Jiggy and Yoyo gave hi-fi and laughed loudly.

"Ohh just shut up guys." Laila said irritatingly then looked around.

"Where is Sanyukta?" She asked curiously.

"She is at home." Randhir replied.

"Kyun college nahi aayi?" She asked again.

"No." Randhir replied in short.

"Thank god, otherwise my whole day will spoil to see her ugly face." She twisted her lips. Just then Kaustuki entered, she saw Randhir and quickly came there.

"Randhir, where is Sanyukta?" She asked eagerly.

"She is in the kitchen babes!" Laila replied and grinned devilishly.

"I don't talk with you!" Kaustuki said angrily.

"Neither I am interested." Laila twisted her lips again.

"Randhir, please tell me where is Sanyu? Is she in the classroom?" Kaustuki asked impatiently.

"Nope, she is at home. Use uski destination mil gaya hai, KITCHEN!" He emphasized the word kitchen and grinned devilishly.

"What! What will you do with her this time, haan?" She hissed in anger.

"Chill, I am not doing anything, it's dad's decision so better you mind your own business." Randhir shrugged his shoulders.

"You will pay for it, Randhir." Kaustuki said this and left from there angrily.

"Desperate bitch! Khud nahi aa sakti toh friend ko bhej diya irritated karne ke liye." Laila bad mouthed about Sanyukta.

"Shut up Laila, Sanyukta is my wife aur use bhala bura kehne ka haq maine kisi aur ko nahi diya hai!" Randhir clenched his jaw when Laila's face dropped. Just then some reporters and photographers came there.

"Aare ye media aur press wale college mein kya kar rahe hai?" Jiggy asked surprisingly.

"Haan yaar, inn ko bulaya kisne?" Yoyo asked confusingly.

"That's him, Randhir Singh Shekhawat!"

One reporter pointed at him and before Randhir could understand anything all the press and media came there and started taking his pictures.

"Sir kya ye sach hai ki aap ki shaadi karne ke piche ek bahut badi conspiracy hai?"

"Sir kya ye sach hai ke apne uss ladki ko blackmail kiya aap se shaadi karne ke liye?"

"Sir kya ye sach hai ke aap apne classmate Sanyukta Agarwal se apni personal dushmani nikal ne ke liye ye shaadi ki hai?"

The reporters started asking him random questions when Randhir was just stunned to hear all this.

"What rubbish, kya bakwas hai? Kisne kaha aap se ye sab?" Randhir almost yelled at them.

"Toh sir kya ye sab baat sach nahi hai?" One reporter asked.

"Absolutely not, it's all rubbish. I love my wife, in fact everyone in this college knows about our love story." Randhir almost stammered.

"So in that case aap college aaye hai toh aap ki wife Sanyukta Shekhawat kaha hai sir?" Another reporter asked.

"She is at home." Randhir replied.

"Doesn't she come to college in the future?"

"No, not at all." Randhir shrugged his shoulders.

"Why sir, won't your wife complete her degree?" Reporters throw another question.

"No, she is married now and doesn't wish to continue her studies as she has lots of responsibility now." Randhir replied casually.

"Sir, is it your wife's decision or is it your decision?"

"Umm, actually it's my dad's decision. He doesn't want Sanyukta to continue her studies and as per dad's wish it is an order for me." Randhir replied calmly.

"So viewers dekha apne 'Revulsion ke piche ka asli sach'! Iss duniya mein aaj bhi ek aurat ko uski haq koi nahi deta. Business tycoon Harshvardhan Singh Shekhawat, jo ke ek mahan hasti hai, pata nahi kitne hi school aur college unke donation se chalte hai wo khud nahi chahte ke unki bahu apni padai puri kare! Aaj bhi society mein aise insaan hai jo mask pahne ghumte hai. Samne kuch aur piche kuch aur hi sach hota hai inn ke!"

The reporters said it in front of the camera, thus Randhir gulped hard as he realized what mess he created by taking his dad's name in front of the camera. Now no one can save him or his family reputation.
