Randhir and Sanyukta came back home quickly. They entered the mansion and saw the hustles and bustles around them. All were excited for the trip.

"Kya aap sab jaa rahe ho?" Randhir asked confusingly.

"No beta. Main, Harsh, Maya, Parth aur Ragini." Renuka replied.

"Bhai, bhabhi aur bacche?" Randhir asked again.

"Nahi, Rajveer saath aayega toh business kaun dekhega! Iss liye Anjali bhi nahi aayegi toh phir Rehan ka aane ka sawal hi nahi, aur Mishti zid kar rahi hai rukne ke liye, pata nahi kaise manau!" Renuka sighed.

"Maa aap Mishti ko yahi rehne dijiye, main hu na." Sanyukta assured her.

"Seriously Sanyukta, tum Mishti ko sambhal payogi? Tumhe apni college aur studies se time mill jayega meri beti ke liye?" Ragini asked teasingly.

"Ji didi aap chinta mat kijiye, main Mishti ka pura kheyal rakhungi." Sanyukta replied determinedly.

"Haan Ragini rehne do Mishti ko yaha Sanyukta ke pass, wo uska achchhe se dhyan rakhegi." Renuka said thus Ragini agreed.

"Okay mom as you wish." She was about to go but stopped and looked at Sanyukta.

"Today you amazed me, Sanyukta." Ragini said and left when Sanyukta went towards their room. On the way she meets with Parth, he seems to be very annoyed.

"What happened Parth, disturbed lag rahe ho?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Toh kya karu, ek cheez apni sahi jagah par nahi hai! Mere kapde bhi laundry se aaye nahi abhi tak, kaise packing karu!" Parth said irritatingly.

"Tumhare sare kapde laundry mein hai kya?" Sanyukta asked curiously.

"No but my favourite leather jacket hai laundry mein, uska kya! Aur phir ye packing, it's so boring and irritating." Parth made a face.

"Okay, chalo I'll help you." Sanyukta said with a smile.

"Really, thanks." Parth takes a sigh of relief. They both came to his room and Sanyukta started to help him in packing.

"Maine suna tha ke American log bahut self dependent hote hai, but you are hopeless Parth, tumhe toh ek simple si packing bhi nahi aata!" Sanyukta mocked Parth thus he rolled his eyes.

"Excuse me ma'am, first of all I am not an American I am an Indian and secondly I am very much self dependent. See tumhare samne apne dono pairo par khada hu!" He winked at her.

"Huhhh, agar isse self-dependent hona kahte hai toh phir Rehan aur Mishti bhi self-dependent hai!" She twisted her lips.

"Toh phir kya karu, Randhir is lucky to have you but what should I do, mujhe packing mein help karne wali koi nahi!" He made a sad face.

"Mujhe nahi pata tha ki tum shaadi ke liye mar rahe ho Parth!" Sanyukta said in a teasing way.

"Toh kya karu, kisi ka dhyan hi nahi hai ke ladke ki shaadi ki umar nikal raha hai! Isski baad toh koi milegi bhi nahi, kuwara hi marna padega mujh ko!" He said in a dramatic way.

"Dramebaaz!" Sanyukta said with a smile.

"Sanyu tum bhi!" He frowned.

"Achchha batao kaisi ladki chahiye, I'll find a girl for you." Sanyukta said with a smile.

"Umm… just like you." Parth said, suddenly looking at her.

"She must have hazel eyes unlike you, a sharp nose like you, beautiful face like you, long black hairs like you aur haan, bijli ki khambe jaisi height, just like you." Hearing this her eyes widened when he winked at her.

"Parth!" She slapped on his shoulder.

"Sorry, sorry, but seriously Sanyukta wo ladki bilkul tumhari parchhayi honi chahiye." Parth said seriously.

"I am regretting for staying in America, agar India mein hi reh jata toh you must be my wife instead of Randhir's." He gave a mischievous smile when Sanyukta's jaw dropped.

"Parth, nahi chhodungi!" Parth started running when Sanyukta followed him.

But they didn't notice that Randhir was at the door. He came to meet Parth and listen to them. He felt relieved to see her normal but somewhere Parth's words irked him. He knew that Parth was innocent and it's his habit to flirt with everyone, but every time he saw them together he felt uncomfortable, don't know why!

"Parth ruko, nahi chhodungi tumhe!" Sanyukta said while running behind him.

"Achchha, pehle apne pati se permission toh leke aao, ke wo tumhe mujhe pakadne dega ki nahi!" He said teasingly.

"Shut up." Sanyukta groaned when Randhir cleared his throat thus they turned to him.

"Aare ye toh yahi hai, kya baat hai biwi ki bodyguard ban gaya kya?" Parth asked teasingly.

"Wo mom bula rahi hai, flight ka time ho raha hai." He lied.

"Okay let's go." Parth said and they all came out from his room.

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

All left for the airport. Randhir went to drop them when Sanyukta stayed at home with Anjali and Arpita. Sanyukta was busy with the kids to make them drink milk when they were trying hard not to drink it. Mishti was running when she bumped into Arpita and her cell fell from her hand.

"Mishti what is this, don't you have manners?" Arpita almost screamed.

"Arpita usne jaan bujh kar nahi kiya, galti se ho gaya!" Sanyukta said when Mishti was hiding behind her.

"Tell her to behave. Galti karke sorry bhi nahi bolte ye bacche!" Arpita said irritatingly.

"Arpita tum ek 3 saal ki bacchi se sorry expect kar rahi ho!" Sanyukta said surprisingly.

"Agar abhi se manners nahi sikhenge toh bigad jayenge bacche. Tumne toh di se promise kiya tha ki Mishti ka khayal rakhogi, aise rakh rahi ho uska kheyal!" Arpita said in a sarcastic way and left.

"Pata nahi isse kya ho gaya hai, pichle kuch dino se dekh rahi hu mood off hai uska!" Anjali said surprisingly.

"Bhabhi ek baat puchu?" Sanyukta asked suddenly.

"Aare pucho na." Anjali said casually.

"Wo Arpita ki parents kaha hai? Matlab wo iss ghar mein rehti hai, uska ghar kaha hai?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Wo Sanyukta baat aisa hai ki..." Anjali turned to her and got numb to see Arpita behind Sanyukta. Sanyukta sensed something and turned around and was shocked to see Arpita.

"Mujhe nahi pata tha Sanyukta ke tumhare dil mein mere liye itna sara zaher hai!" Arpita said coldly, thus Sanyukta was shocked.

"I know ke tum iss ghar ki bahu ho aur main koi nahi but tum mujhse itni nafrat karti ho mujhe pata nahi tha!" Her voice broke when Sanyukta was helpless.

"Nahi Arpita, aisa nahi hai!" Sanyukta tried to say something.

"Agar main tumhe itna hi na pasand hu toh pehle bol deti, main chali jati iss ghar se but iss tarha se mujhe insulted kyu feel karaya?" Her eyes were brimmed with tears when Sanyukta was too shocked to listening her.

"Insult, ye tum kya bol rahi ho Arpita? Main kyun tumhari insult karungi, main toh bas tumhari parents ke ware mein..."

"They were dead!" Before Sanyukta could complete Arpita shouted.

"They were dead, my mom and dad were dead." Sanyukta was shocked to hear this when Arpita was crying badly.

"What happened Arpi?" A voice came thus Sanyukta looked at the entrance and saw Randhir there when Arpita rushed towards him. She almost threw herself on him and started crying uncontrollably.

"Arpi what happened, why are you crying?" He asked shockingly.

"Agar tum nahi chahte ki main iss ghar mein rahu toh mujhe directly kyun nahi bola, apni wife se insult karwane ki kya jarurat thi! Main toh iss ghar mein tumhare liye hi hu na, toh phir?" She was crying badly.

"Arpi are you crazy, main tumhe kyun jane ko kahunga aur main tumhari insult karunga ye tumne socha bhi kaise?" Randhir asked, caressing her hair.

"Jo main kabhi nahi soch sakti wo aaj tumne kar diya, ab mujhe yaha nahi rehna!" Arpita said and rushed towards her room.

"What happened bhabhi, ye Arpita aisa behave kyun kar rahi hai?" Randhir asked confusingly.

"Wo actually hum uske ware mein batein kar rahe thay toh Arpita ko bura laag gaya." Anjali said hesitantly.

"Kya sirf itni si baat ke liye Arpita ghar chhod ke jaa rahi hai?" Randhir asked surprisingly.

"Nahi, wo maine bhabhi se uski parents aur ghar ke ware mein pucha tha, toh usse misconceptions ho gaya." Sanyukta said slowly, thus Randhir widened his eyes.

"God!" He took a long breath and rushed towards Arpita's room. Randhir entered and saw her doing the packing.

"What's all this nonsense Arpi, leave it." Randhir said loudly.

"Kyun tum toh yahi chahte ho na ke main chali jau! May be ab tumhare life mein meri koi importance nahi raha." She said and continued her packing.

"What nonsense is this Arpi? Sanyukta was just curious about you, that's all. Wo tumhari insult kyun karegi?" Randhir asked surprisingly.

"Haan woh kyun karegi? Wo nahi kar sakti kuch bhi galat. Biwi hai na tumhari, bahut special hai tumhare liye. But Ron ek time pe main bhi tumhare liye special thi. We were buddies, besties but forgot it tumhe usse kya!" She continued packing.

"Arpi just stopped it. I am sure Sanyukta ne jaan bujh kar kuch nahi kiya hoga it's just a misunderstanding but still I am sorry on her behalf, please don't go." He pleaded.

"You know what Ron, you are changed. Tumne toh kabhi kisi ko apni galti ke liye bhi sorry nahi bola aur aaj Sanyukta ke liye bol rahe ho. But mujhe iss fake sorry ki koi jarurat nahi, just go." She screamed and he came out from her room. Randhir came out and his gaze fell on Sanyukta who was standing outside the room.

"Main Arpita ko insult nahi karna chahti thi. I was just curious, that's why I asked." She said slowly looking down.

"Arpita was only 8 when her parents died in a plane crash." Randhir said slowly thus Sanyukta looked at him shockingly.

"Kya!" She was shocked.

"Yes, she was my bestie at school so I insisted dad bring her here. Arpita's dad left cores for her but ek 8 saal ki chhoti bacchi uska kya karegi, wo toh apni maa ke liye roti rehti thi tab mom ne usse sambhala aur dheere dheere wo iss ghar ki member ban gayi. Uska ghar yahi Mumbai mein hai, lekin wo uss badi se ghar mein aakeli jana nahi chahati thi. Bolti thi yahi uska ghar hai but I don't think ab wo yaha par rahne wali hai! You hurt her where it hurts the most. Tumhe aisa nahi karna chahiye tha Sanyukta! Tumne meri galti ki saza use diya jo mere liye bahut special hai." Randhir said sadly. Sanyukta was already feeling guilty. Randhir's last words pained her more, she quickly entered Arpita's room and saw her about to leave.

"Tum, check karne aayi ho ke I am leaving or not!" Arpita spat out venom when Sanyukta just hugged her tightly.

"I am sorry Arpita, mera koi intention nahi tha tumhe hurt karne ki ya tumhari insult karne ki. I have no idea about your parents, otherwise main aisa kabhi nahi bolti. Main itni giri huyi ladki nahi hu jo kisi ki parents ka maut ka mazak udaye. I am sorry for what I said, tum chaho toh mujhe koi bhi punishment de sakti ho but ghar chhod ke mat jao, please. Tum Randhir ke liye bahut special ho, agar tum chali gayi toh ye uske liye punishment hogi, please don't go." Sanyukta said and broke the hug and looked at her with moist eyes.

"I am sorry, please don't go." She said again when Arpita nodded positively.

"Okay." She said thus Sanyukta hugged her again and Randhir took a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, thank you very much yaha rukne ke liye." Sanyukta said when Arpita smirked inwardly.

"Main ghar chhod ke kyun jaungi Sanyukta, jana toh tumhe padega iss ghar aur Ron ki life dono mein se!" Arpita said in mind and smirked devilishly.

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

Sanyukta came to their room, she was lost somewhere when Randhir entered.

"Thank you." He said thus she looked at him.

"Thank you Arpita ko rokne ke liye." He said slowly when Sanyukta got up with a jolt.

"I don't need your thanks Randhir, maine ye tumhare liye nahi kiya. Arpita ek bahut achchhi ladki hai aur main nahi chahati thi ke wo ghar chhod ke jaye, aur specially meri wajah se toh bilkul nahi." She said angrily and about to go when Randhir held her hand.

"Sanyukta listen..."

"Randhir just leave me, I said just leave my hand." She tried to jerk him but he was holding her tightly.

"Nahi aaj tumhe meri baat sunni hogi!" He said determinedly thus she looked at him angrily.

"I know you are angry with me, I-I am sorry for that night. I know you might hate me for that and I deserve your hatred, I agree. But Sanyukta, I realized my mistake and I am ashamed of myself for that. Please, please forgive me." He pleaded with a broken voice. But to his surprise Sanyukta started laughing. Randhir was looking at her confusingly when she laughed continuously.

"Well done Randhir, you are too good! Tumhe toh bollywood mein hona chahiye tha itna achchha acting jo kar lete ho!" She clapped.

"But tumhara ye acting usko dikhao jinhone tumhara real face nahi dekha hai!" She said in a sarcastic way.

"Aur sorry, tum kab se sorry feel karne lag gaye Randhir, wo bhi mere liye! Tum toh ye sab kuch mujhe dard dene ke liye hi kar rahe ho na?" She said sternly when he looked down.

"I am sorry Sanyukta, please forgive me." He said slowly.

"Sorry! Kin kin baaton ke liye tum mujhse sorry kahoge Randhir, haan bolo? For insulting me? For abusing me? For humiliating me in front of the whole college? For forcefully marrying me? For torturing me bit by bit? For assaulting me?" She asked when he lowered his lashes.

"Kis kis baat ke liye tumhe maaf karu Randhir haan? Tumhari wajah se meri parents mujhse nafrat karte hai, uske liye? Mere papa mujhse baat karna toh dur mere haath ka bana hua bhi nahi khate, uske liye? Meri maa ko mujh par trust nahi raha, uske liye? Ankit aur Sneha mujhse baat nahi karte, uske liye? Mere friends mere ghar nahi aati, uske liye? Kis kis baat ke liye tum maafi mangoge Randhir?" Sanyukta was crying when Randhir was sunk in guilt.

"And why do you want to be forgiven Randhir? Tumne toh mujhse shaadi issi liye ki thi na, meri life barbaad karne ke liye! Toh see, you succeed. Now celebrate your victory." She smirked between her tears which pained him more.

"Shaadi se pehle aur shaadi ke baad tumne mujhe kitna respect diya na Randhir! Ghar mein sabke saamne insult kiya, bahar apne friends ke samne insult kiya aur toh aur mujhe jabardasti sharab bhi pilayi taki maa bhi mujhse nafrat kare, meri studies rukwani chaha tumne! Aur itna sab kuch karne ke baad bhi tum expect kar rahe ho ke main tumhe maaf kar dungi!" She was huffing.

"Nahi Randhir Singh Shekhawat main tumhe kabhi maaf nahi karungi. Tumne jo kiya hai uske liye tumhe saza milni chahiye maafi nahi. You deserve punishment, not forgiveness, Randhir!" Sanyukta said coldly and left the room leaving a poor soul behind.

Randhir wiped his tears and left the room too. He came to the gym slowly. Sanyukta's each and every words rang into his ears and he started punching the punching bag hard. After some time he stopped and closed his eyes. But as soon as he closed it Sanyukta's tears drenched lifeless features flashed into his mind and he opened his eyes with a jolt.

"Kyun kiya, kyun kiya, kyun kiya?" He asked himself.

"Kyun kiya aisa, kyun kiya, kyun, kyun?" He shouted and started punching the bag harder.

"Kyun, kyun, kyun?" He was punching hard again and again thus blood started oozing out from his hand.

"Kyun kiya maine aisa, kyun?" He sat down there and broke into tears. Randhir sat down on the floor and covered his face with his palm.

"Kyun kiya aisa maine, kyun?" His voice came like a mare whisper. Blood came out from his knuckles but the pain was nothing in front of his guilt. He was sitting there silently when Arpita came there.

"Aare Ron tum yaha ho aur main tumhe pure ghar mein dhund rahi hu!" Arpita said but he was numb.

"Waise yaha kya kar rahe ho?" She asked when her eyes fell on his hand.

"Ron, ye kya hua?" She asked, holding his wounded hand.

"Kuch nahi zara sa chot hai, bass exercise thoda jyada ho gaya!" He maintains a straight face.

"Zara sa! Ye tumhe zara sa chot laagta hai Ron! Chalo mere saath, bandage kar lo." She said caught his forearm.

"No, I am fine, Arpi." He said slowly.

"Haan haan pata hai kitna fine ho, abhi chalo otherwise main aunty ko call kar dungi!" She said and pulled him with her. Arpita took Randhir along with her and came to her room. She wiped off the blood from his hand with cotton.

"My god Ron, it's so deep aur tum isse zara sa chot bol rahe ho!" She said when applied antiseptic.

"Waise chot lagi kaise?" She asked curiously.

"Umm… wo I say na exercise thoda jyada ho gaya." He lied.

"Aur kitna exercise karoge Ron, jab dekho gym mein hi ghuse rehte ho!" She said when tied a bandage on his hand, he kept mum.

Sanyukta went directly to the kitchen. Her eyes were oozing blood when her face was all red.

"What happened Sanyukta, ye tumhara face aisa kyun lag raha hai?" Anjali asked, thus she faked a smile and splashed water on her face. After some time Anjali called everybody for dinner. The kids ate before so the rest of the people came for dinner. All were having their dinner when Anjali noticed Randhir's wounded hand.

"Aare Randhir tumhare haath par chot kaisi laagi?" Anjali asked suddenly.

"Wo bhabhi wo..." He hesitated when Arpita said.

"Bhabhi Randhir ko na exercise karte waqt chot lag gayi hai."

"Kya, par kaise?" Anjali was shocked when Sanyukta looked at him surprisingly.

"Nahi bhabhi jyada nahi." Randhir said but Arpita interrupted.

"Nahi bhabhi it's too deep, maine bandage kiya hai." Arpita said thus everyone got worried.

"Randhir doctor ko call kyun nahi kiya, main kar du?" Rajveer asked when Sanyukta looked at his wounded hand only.

"No bhai, I am fine aur aap log please panic mat kijiye, I am fine." Randhir mouthed and about to take another morsel when the spoon fell from his hand.

"Randhir pain ho raha hai na iss haat se khane mein?" Anjali asked with care.

"No bhabhi, I am fine." He said and tried to eat again but winced in pain.

"Sanyukta tum zara Randhir ki help kar do." Anjali said thus both Randhir and Sanyukta were shocked.

"Ji main?" Sanyukta stammered.

"Haan tum, tum uski biwi ho." Anjali said thus she gulped hard. Randhir understands her discomfort.

"No bhabhi I am alright, baccha thodi na hu jo koi aur khila dega!" He said and ate anyway.

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

After dinner Sanyukta entered the room and saw Randhir was trying to tie the bandage with one hand but couldn't. She avoided him and went to the washroom and changed her saree by a nighty. She came out and saw him still struggling with that. She came near him and started tying his bandage when he was shocked.

"Isski koi jarurat nahi thi but thank you." He said slowly.

"Haan sahi kaha isski koi jarurat nahi tha Randhir then why did you do this?" She asked thus he looked at her confusingly.

"Matlab?" He asked confusingly.

"Matlab ye Randhir, iss tarha apne aap ko chot dekar kya prove karna chahte ho that you are guilty?" She asked straight, thus he was surprised.

"Nahi Sanyukta aisa kuch nahi hai!" He said slowly.

"Tumhe kya lagta hai Randhir mujhe nahi pata ke ye chot kaise lagi hai! But you know what inn sab ka koi faida nahi. Tumhe kya lagta hai Randhir tum apne aap ko punish karne ki drama karoge aur tumhe maafi mil jayegi, no never. I'll never forgive you. Tumne mujhe khoon ke aansu rulaya hai, uske samne tumhara ye zara sa khoon behna kuch nahi hai, kuch bhi nahi!" She said furiously and went towards the bed. Randhir also got up and went to bed.

"I know Sanyukta tumhare dard ke samne mera iss chot ka koi value nahi hai but now when I realize your pain I'll try to remove your pain in every possible way." He said in his mind and looked at her face once. He said good night to her in mind and switched off the light.

Randhir was trying to catch a sleep when his phone buzzed, it was Parth.

"Ab itni raat ko isse kya chahiye?" He mumbled and took the phone.

"Hello Randhir ek baat bata tune Sanyukta ko kaise pataya tha?" As soon as Randhir picked up the phone Parth asked that.

"What?" Randhir almost screamed, then looked at Sanyukta's sleepy face and went to the balcony.

"Are you crazy Parth, ye bakwas puchne ke liye tune raat ke 1 baje mujhe call kiya?" Randhir asked irritatingly.

"Haan." Parth replied.

"You are impossible, Parth!" Randhir said annoyingly.

"Aare chill bro gussa kyun ho raha hai! Actually we are all going for sightseeing tomorrow aur agar mujhe koi gau ki gori mil jaye toh use kaise patayunga yahi janna tha!" Parth said teasingly.

"Shut up Parth, main joke ke mood mein nahi hu!" Randhir said angrily.

"Aare tu kitna unromantic hai!" Parth said playfully.

"Ye bolne ke liye phone kiya tha?" He asked annoyingly.

"Haan, matlab na, I mean koi tips de na, I can't handle this Indian girls yaar." Parth replied helplessly.

"Just shut up and go to sleep, aur mujhe bhi sone de!" Randhir said and hung up the phone. He came in and saw Sanyukta was drinking water.

"Umm...wo Parth ka call tha." He said hesitantly when she looked at him.

"As if I care! You can talk to your girlfriends whenever you wish, why are you giving me excuses? You should do what you want to do because I don't care anything about you!" She said bitterly and switched off the light. Randhir came and laid beside her but the rest of the night he won't be able to sleep.

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

Randhir twisted and turned on his bed, then he got up and came out from his room. He was roaming aimlessly when he saw lights still on in Arpita's room. He was surprised and knocked on the door. Arpita opened the door and was surprised to see Randhir.

"Ron, you didn't sleep till now?" She asked surprisingly.

"So are you." He replied.

"Wo project ka kaam baki tha. Ye Princi bhi ajeeb hai, science trip pe bhej raha hai sab ko, aur jo nahi jayega uska marks kaat dega! Main toh medical de dungi but kabhi trip par nahi jaungi!" She said irritatingly.

"But why, you used to love to go on these kinds of trips na, then what happened now?" He asked confusingly.

"Ek trip pe jake tumhe Sanyukta se haar chuki hu Ron, ab aur koi trip nahi." She said in mind.

"Umm priorities changed na Ron!" She forced a smile.

"Sanyukta soo gayi?" She asked when he nodded positively.

"Toh tumhe bhi jana chahiye otherwise she will be doubted on us." She said purposely but in a teasing way when Randhir looked down.

"Ron what happened?" She asked surprisingly.

"Sanyukta won't be doubted, she won't be jealous of us." He said slowly.

"Ron, I was just joking." Arpita said confusingly.

"But I am not. Sanyukta kabhi kuch mind hi nahi karegi cause we do not love each other! We both aren't in love with each other but hate each other." Randhir spat out the truth and next moment looked at Arpita in horror when she looked at him confusingly.

"Arpi, I have to go." He said and about to go when she grabbed his hand.

"Stop Ron and tell me again what you said just now!" She said thus he looked away.

"Wo Arpi wo..." He hesitated.

"Ron, you have my sake!" She said thus he looked at her.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone about it." He stretched his hand.

"I promise." Arpita said, touching his hand.

"Okay I'll tell you everything." Randhir said and took a breath.

After an hour, Arpita was sitting in front of the mirror and was smirking. What she listens in the past one hour takes away her sleep from her eyes.

"Poor Sanyukta, main toh bekar mein hi tumse nafrat kar rahi thi. Tumse nafrat karne ka haq toh sirf mere Ron ko hai! Main tumse nafrat kyun karu Sanyukta, jab Ron tumse pyar hi nahi karta!" She smirked devilishly.

"Ron I always loved you but today you made me a big fan of yours. I am so proud of you Ron, kya revenge liya hai tumne Sanyukta se, use uski aukat dikha di!" She said looking at the picture of them.

"But tumne pau ki juti ko saad pe kyun rakhha! Uss slum girl se shaadi karne ki kya jarurat thi, waise bhi use tumne achchha sabak sikhaya tha! Anyway jo tumhe karna tha wo tumne kar diya, ab jo karna hai mujhe karna hai! Uss kachre ko uske aasli jagah par phekna hai!" She smirked and started packing for her college trip.

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

Next day, everyone gathered at the breakfast table.

"Ron ab tumhara chot kaisa hai?" Arpita asked curiously.

"Much better." Randhir smiled at her, she also smiled.

"Phir bhi tumhe doctor ko dikha lena chahiye!" Arpita said with care.

"Arpi I am fine, trust me." Randhir tried to convince her.

"Phir bhi tum chal rahe ho." Arpita declared with authority.

"But..."

"Arpita is right Randhir, ek appointment le lo doctor ki." Rajveer said thus he agreed.

"Mera baat toh sunte hi nahi ho, achchha hai main jaa rahi hu." Arpita pouted thus he smiled.

"Jaa rahi ho, kaha?" Sanyukta panicked.

"Don't panic Sanyukta, ghar chhod kar nahi college trip pe jaa rahi hu." Arpita smiled, thus Sanyukta took a sigh of relief.

"Kyun ki ghar chhod ke toh tum jayogi!" Arpita said in mind.

"But Arpita tum toh kaal mana kar rahi thi?" Randhir asked surprisingly.

"Kal kuch khone ka darr tha, aaj nahi?" She replied looking deep into his eyes, thus Randhir felt awkward.

"Umm, I mean marks na kaat le iss liye jaana padega." She covered up.

After breakfast Rajveer left for the office, Sanyukta was busy in the kitchen with Anjali when Anjali's phone buzzed on.

"Hello?" She took the call and the phone fell from her hand next.

"Bhabhi kya hua?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Wo mom ka phone tha, dad ko sudden heart attack aaye hai." She said anyhow.

"Kya, heart attack?" Sanyukta was shocked.

"Heart attack, kisko?" Randhir asked as he heard Sanyukta.

"Wo bhabhi ki papa ko." She replied worriedly

"What?" Randhir was also shocked.

"Randhir mujhe hospital jana hai." Anjali said impatiently.

"Haan bhabhi chaliye, don't worry everything will be fine." Randhir assured her.

"Sanyukta wo bacche!" Anjali said nervously.

"Bhabhi ap bachho ka fikar mat kijiye, I'll take care of them. You please calm down and don't worry uncle ko kuch nahi hoga!" Sanyukta assured her and Anjali hugged her. Soon Anjali left with Randhir and Sanyukta stayed at the house with Arpita.

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

So friends long part, now say how it is?

Do you think Sanyukta will forgive Randhir so soon? Do you think Randhir's repentance will change Sanyukta's mind?

And what do you think Arpita will do now after listening to the truth about Sandhir's relationship? What will be her next step?

Keep commenting, sharing your views, keep voting.

Thank you.
