As lunch time arrived Sanyukta served the biriyani to everyone.

"Wow, ek pura aanda mere liye!" Mishti grinned thus Sanyukta smiled at her.

"Chalo main aapko khila deti hu." Sanyukta said and sat beside Mishti.

"Wow chachi it's so yummy." Rehan said tasting a spoon full of biriyani thus Sanyukta smiled.

"Bachcho koynsa jyada achchha hain continental yeah phir Indian?" Sanyukta asked looking at Randhir who was eating silently.

"Indian....Indian....Indian." Both kids were shouted excitedly thus Sanyukta gave a proud smirk to Randhir. Everyone was eating when Sanyukta time to time steeling glances of Randhir.

"Tabse thuse hi jaa raha hain, achchha hain ki bura bata vi nehi raha hain, khadush!" Sanyukta murmured under her breath.

"Bachcho aur chahiye?" Sanyukta asked steeling a glance of Randhir.

"Nehi chachi I'm full, raat ko khayunga." Rehan replied when Mishti said.

"Mimi aanda!" She pouted.

"Nehi beta do aanda nehi, raat ko haan." She said thus Mishti nodded.

Sanyukta take the bowl and served some more biriyani to Randhir. He was eating silently.

"Haad hain!" Sanyukta murmured again.

"Tumhe kuch aur chahiye keya?" Sanyukta asked thus Randhir nodded a no when she gritted her teeth.

"Manners!" She twisted her lips and started eating.

They took lunch together when Randhir was completely silent. After lunch Sanyukta came to kid's room and saw them already sleeping.

"Aare yeh bachche aaj itni jaldi kaise soo gaye?" She was confused.

"And the credit goes to me!" Sanyukta turned to heard this and saw Randhir there.

"What?" She asked confusingly.

"Maine bachcho se kaha tha ke aagar wo jaldi jaldi soo jayenge toh shaam ko unhen bahar le jayunga." He smiled and left when she looked at him surprisingly.

Sanyukta came to their room and saw Randhir was half laying on the bed. She was about to lay down when he speak up.

"Waise tum mujhe thank you bol sakti ho." He smirked at her thus she rolled her eyes.

"Thank you aur tumhe, forget it." She twisted her lips.

"I know you are very ungrateful person Sanyukta, maine tumhari help ki aur tumne ek thank you vi nehi bola!" He replied thus she widened her eyes.

"Keya main ungrateful hu!" She get up from the bed and stood beside him.

"Main ungrateful hu toh tum keya ho! Itni mehanat se maine biriyani banayi sabne tareef ki lekin tumne kuch bola, sirf khaye hi jaa rahe thay!" She said angrily.

"Mere bolne se keya hota hain, tum thodi na mere compliment sunne ke liye taras rahi ho!" He said in a sarcastic way.

"Kyu nehi, jab bachcho ne compliment di toh tum kyu nehi, yeah phir compliment dene se tumhara ego hurt ho jayega?" She asked furiously thus he smirked at her.

"That means you are so much eager for my compliment?" He asked in a teasing way thus she came back to her senses.

"No no, I'm not eager for anything and that for your compliment, huhhh!" She tried to covered up and about to go when he caught her wrist.

"Compliment toh leti jau wifey!" He said in a teasing way.

"Nehi mujhe nehi sunna." She said and about to go when he pulled her closer and she fall on him.

"Biriyani bahut achchhi bani thi." He took her hand and kissed on it.

"Ke-keya kar rahe ho?" She stammered as she was too shocked by his gesture.

"Aare compliment de raha hu." He smiled at her.

"Chho-chhodo mujhe." She freed herself and about to go when he called her from behind.

"Sanyukta next kab banayogi?" He asked normally when she looked at him confusingly.

"Jab sab wapas aah jayenge tab." She replied thus he smiled.

"Parth ne kaha hain ke usse meri haat ki biriyani khani hain." Hearing Parth's name Randhir's smile faded away.

"Matlab Parth ke liye banayogi, mere liye nehi. He is the special one not me!" He mumbled slowly which got unheard by Sanyukta.

Randhir was hurt by Sanyukta's word. Don't know why her words pained him a lot. Other hand Sanyukta was shocked by Randhir's behavior as well as for her own behavior also.

"What's wrong with me! Why I'm expecting compliment from him? Wo dish maine bachcho ke liye banaya tha kisi aur ke liye nehi. And why he is behaving like a true husband?" She asked to herself.

"No no no, Sanyukta, don't be a fool jarur isske pichhe koi reason hain, Randhir bina reason ke kuch nehi karta, jarur koi revenge plan kar raha hain, wo aapna insult bhulne walo mein se nehi hain!" Her mind groaned.

                               * * * * * * * * *

As evening crept everyone went to Anjali's house to see her father. They were happy to saw them. Sanyukta gave the bouquet to Anjali's father when Randhir handover some fresh fruits to Anjali's mother. They asked about uncle's health when Rajveer assured them.

"Sanyukta yeh bachche tumhe jyada tang toh nehi kar rahe hain na?" Anjali asked.

"Nehi bhabhi bilkul nehi." Sanyukta assured her.

"Mom aaj na chachi ne biriyani banayi thi, bahut tasty tha." Rehan said excitedly.

"Maine ek pura aanda khaya." Mishti grinned.

"Achchha!" Anjali take her on own lap.

"But Sanyukta itni taqlif kyu ki, jarur Rehan ne zid ki hogi!" Anjali eyed at Rehan.

"Nehi mom maine kuch nehi kiya, wo toh chachu aur chachi ke bich mein competition huyi thi." Rehan said quickly.

"Competition, kiss baat ki?" Anjali asked confusingly.

"Koyn achchha chef hain chachu yeah chachi." Rehan replied.

"Keya, Randhir tu kabse chef ban geya?" Rajveer asked surprisingly.

"Pata hain dad chachu ne soup banaya tha." Rehan said excitedly.

"Now that's a breaking news, mera chhota bhai jo ek glass pani ke liye vi kabhi kitchen ke aandar nehi geya wo aaj soup bana raha hain!" Rajveer said surprisingly.

"Bahut jyada progress kar gaye ho Randhir!" Anjali said teasingly.

"Keya karu bhabhi biwi ko khush rakhna aasan nehi hain bahut papad belne padte hain." Randhir said with a smile when Sanyukta kept mum.

                              * * * * * * * * *

After taking dinner they came back to mansion. Kids got asleep in the car as it was quite late. Randhir take Rehan on his lap when Sanyukta tried to take Mishti on her lap.

"Don't Sanyukta, you are not well main Mishti ko vi le jayunga." Sanyukta understand what Randhir wants to say but she denied him.

"No I'm fine, main kar lungi." Sanyukta said and about to take Mishti when Randhir hold her hand.

"Tumhe koi baat ek baar mein samajh mein kyu nehi aata?" He said annoyingly and take Mishti along with Rehan too.

Randhir made the kids lay down on the bed and came back to their room. He entered and saw Sanyukta stood there crossing her hands against her chest.

"What are you trying to do?" She asked firmly.

"Sanyukta bahut raat ho gayi hain soo jau." He replied normally.

"Randhir don't ignore me!" She said coldly.

"I'm not ignoring you Sanyukta, I just want to say ke it's quite late and you are not well also so please take rest." He said and open his blazer.

"Keya phirse koi revenge plan kar rahe ho?" She asked sternly thus he looked at her shockingly.

"Iss baar keya plan kar rahe ho mera saad phodoge yeah pau todoge, yeah phir haat taki main exam na de saku! Kyu ussi baat ka badla lena hain na!" She said in a sarcastic way. Sanyukta's each and every word pained him lot but he kept mum as he thought he deserve that.

"I'm sorry Sanyukta." He said slowly.

"I know maine bahut galat kiya tumhare saath tumhare family ke saath and I'm regretting for that. I know ke tum wo sab kuch bhul nehi sakti lekin keya tum mujhe maaf nehi kar sakti?" Randhir said slowly when Sanyukta was shocked to listening him when Randhir continue.

"I know I was always wrong, aur iss baar toh maine aapna limits hi cross kar diya!" He said lowering his head.

"And I-I am ashamed of it, I really do Sanyukta." He said looking at her.

"I know tum upset ho, naraz ho, I know you hate me also but the truth is I'm not hating you Sanyukta, not anymore, I'm sorry for what I did with you, please forgive me, please." Randhir pleaded and looked at her hopefully.

"You know what Randhir, aabhi jo tumne itne saare bakwas kiye hain na unn mein sirf ek baat saach hain, that I hate you and will always hate you." Sanyukta said sternly thus Randhir froze there.

"Aur keya bol rahe thay that you are ashamed on yourself or you don't hate me and all, huhhh! Do you really think that I believe you?" She spat out venom when he looked at her speechless.

"Since from when Randhir Singh Shekhawat started accepting his faults! You are planning something against me that's why you being so nice with me na?" She spat out some more venom when he looked at her with painful eyes.

"Aab keya plan kar rahe ho, mera trust jeet kar usse todne ka! But you know what Randhir tumhe mujhe jitna todna tha tum tod chuke ho, aab aur kuch nehi bacha hain so aapna yeh drama bandh karo samjhe!" She said coldly and dashed to the washroom when Randhir came to the balcony.

He stood there silently. Sanyukta's words pained him a lot but he knew it's happened. The way he tortured her, treated her, gave pain her he also deserved the same.

"Keya tum mujhe kabhi maaf nehi karogi Sanyukta?" His voice lost in the oblivion.

Other hand Sanyukta was also shocked by Randhir's behavior.

"No Sanyukta, he can't be change. Randhir kabhi badal nehi sakta, wo kuch na kuch jarur plan kar raha hain, kuch bada tabhi itna chup chap hain! I have to be careful all the time." She said determinedly and came out from the washroom and lay down on the bed and soon dozed off due to tiredness.

After sometimes Randhir came and saw her sleeping, he quickly changed his clothes and came to the bed. He looked at her sleepy face.

"I don't hate you Sanyukta. I-I let it be, keya faida!" He sighed and lay down beside her after making the wall of pillows between them.

                              * * * * * * * * *

As soon as dawn appears Sanyukta open her eyes slowly. She get up then looked at Randhir once then dashed in side the washroom. She came out after freshen up and direct went to the kids room.

"Good morning bachcho, uth jau school jana hain." She helped to get them ready and came down. Maid served them the breakfast.

"Sahab ko coffee diya?" She asked.

"Ji bahurani." The maid replied and left.

"Toh aabhi tak yeh niche kyu nehi aaya!" She thought and went towards their room.

She entered and saw the bed was empty. Then she heard the noise of the shower. She about to came out when she saw the coffee cup kept on the table untouched.

"Aare yeh toh thanda ho geya hain, issne piya kyu nehi!" She thought.

"Mujhe keya!" She twisted her lips and came down.

"Bachcho be quick, school ke liye late ho jayoge aap log." Sanyukta said in hurry.

"Aaj koi school nehi jayega." Sanyukta turned to heard this and saw Renuka and others there.

"Maa, aap sab log!" She smiled at them. Just then Randhir came down and also shocked to saw them.

"Mom aap sab log itni jaldi aah geye?" He asked.

"Haan, Anjali ki papa ke ware mein suna toh wapas aah geye." Renuka replied.

"Missing me?" Sanyukta turned to heard it and saw Parth smiling at her.

"Never." She replied thus he pouted.

"But I was missing your smile Parth." Sanyukta replied thus Parth smiled wholeheartedly.

"Thank god, kisiko toh meri smile pasand hain warna Randhir ko toh meri smile se dusmani hain, dekho kaise muh latka ke khada hain!" Parth said thus Sanyukta looked at him once.

"Haan dusro ki khushi isse bardast jo nehi hoti!" She said and left when some confused lines appeared on Parth's face.

"Hey kaisa hain bro?" Parth hugged Randhir thus he smiled a little.

"Jhagra huya hain?" He asked thus Randhir nodded a no.

"Toh phir Sanyukta aaise kyu react kar rahi hain?" Parth asked confusingly.

"Tu jo aah geya wapas, iss liye." Randhir said sarcastically and left when Parth stood there confusingly.

All gathered at the Renuka's room when Renuka showered the gifts to all.

"Maa do hi din mein itna saara shopping kar liya!" Sanyukta asked surprisingly.

"Bachcho ke liye time nikalna padta hain, yeh tumhare liye." Renuka smiled and gave her a beautiful Rajasthani ghagra.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, thank you maa." Sanyukta was amazed.

"Credits all goes to me Sanyukta, I selected this one for you." Parth gave a proud smirk when Randhir rolled his eyes.

"Kyu tujhe Raghu kaka se time mill geya tha?" He asked in a sarcastic way.

"Aapno ke liye time nikalna padta hain Randhir!" Parth winked at him.

"Waise Randhir college toh bass khatam hi hone wala hain, aage ka keya plan hain?" Maya asked.

"Umm masi soch raha hu ke MBA karunga." He replied.

"Toh humare pass aah jau, ek se badkar ek college hain waha." Maya said.

"Okay I'll think about it." Randhir replied.

"Aare sochna keya hain tu aur Sanyukta dono aah jaa, teeno saath mein MBA karenge, bahut maja aayega." Parth said excitedly.

"Nehi nehi main nehi." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Kyu nehi, you have to come." Parth insist.

"Kyu force kar rahe ho aagar usse MBA nehi karna hain toh?" Maya asked.

"Aare MBA ke liye nehi mom, Randhir ke upor nazar rakhne ke liye, keya pata koi gori mem chura le usse Sanyukta se!" Parth said mockingly.

"Nehi, mera beta aaisa nehi hain." Renuka said with a smile.

"I wish ke aaisa hi ho." Parth said playfully.

"Kyu?" Randhir raised his brows.

"Kyu ki tab mujhe yeh second hand model mill jayegi na gale lagane ke liye!" Parth said naughtily looking at Sanyukta when her eyes got widened.

"Besharam!" Sanyukta take a cushion and throw at Parth when he just run away from there and Renuka bursted out at laugh. Sanyukta's face became all red when Randhir's face became stiffen.

"Jiji, aap Parth ke iss behuda mazak par usse datne ke wajaye haas rahe ho?" Maya said annoyingly.

"I'm sorry beta, please kuch mind mat karna." Maya said at Sanyukta when Randhir left the room.

"I think Randhir felt bad, jiji aaj toh aapko Parth ko datna hi padega, haat se nikalta jaa raha hain." Maya said angrily.

"Relax Maya, I know Parth, maine usse pala hain, mera sanskar hain uss mein." Renuka said firmly.

"Pata hain Sanyukta aaisi baat koyn kar sakta hain, wohi insaan jiske mann mein koi paap na ho. Warna tumhi socho hum sabke samne, specially Randhir ke samne wo aaisa bol sakta tha keya! Main janti hu aapne bachche ko usska dil bilkul saaf hain, koi mayel nehi hain." Renuka said proudly.

"Jiji aap hi ne bigada usse." Maya made a face.

"Wo toh tujhe vi bigada tha bachpan mein." Renuka said thus Maya smiled and two sisters started chit chatting about their childhood when Sanyukta lost in her thoughts.

"Maa sab mein aapka sanskar hain, sivaye Randhir ke! Pata nehi wo Parth jaisa dil ka saaf kyu nehi bana?" And she sighed in disappointment.

All came for lunch when the maid served all.

"Waise Randhir tune bataya nehi honeymoon kaisa raha tum dono ka?" Parth smirked thus everyone got confused.

"Honeymoon! Par yeh dono toh ghar par hi thay Parth!" Ragini asked confusingly.

"Aare bhabhi sirf yehi dono thay na ghar par. Normally wedded couple honeymoon par bahar jate hain, but humne thoda hatke kiya, hum sab bahar chale gaye aur inhen ghar par aakela chhod diya, toh huya na yeh inn dono ka honeymoon!" Parth grinned when Randhir and Sanyukta looked away in embarrassment. All laughed wholeheartedly.

"Parth tumhare jane ke baad tumhare yeh silly joke hum sab bahut miss karenge." Anjali said thus Sanyukta got surprised.

"Parth tum log jaa rahe ho, kab?" She asked slowly.

"Next week." He replied.

"Keya next week, lekin itni jaldi keya hain kuch din aur ruk jayo na!" Sanyukta said thus Randhir looked at her once.

"Aare tumhe chhod ke jane ka man toh nehi hain Senorita, but college you know!" He pouted thus Sanyukta nodded.

"But don't worry holi toh saath mein celebrate karenge na." Parth grinned.

"Haan kinte saal ho geye saath mein holi khele." Renuka said.

"Mom kyu na hum saare friends aur relatives ko invite kare uss din?" Ragini said.

"Good idea, sab saath mein celebrate karenge." All get excited thus Renuka smiled.

"Toh issi khushi mein aaj shaam ko movie chalenge, kabse plane karke rakha tha, sab jayenge." Parth said excitedly.

"I'm sorry Parth but hume Anjali ke ghar jana hain dad ko dekhne." Renuka said.

"Matlab movie cancel?" Parth asked sadly.

"Kyu cancel kyu! Randhir, Sanyukta aur tum teeno chale jana okay." Renuka said thus Parth got happy.

"Mujhe nehi jana isske saath, jab dekho ghatiya mazak karta raheta hain!" Randhir said annoyingly.

"Okay mat chal, Sanyukta be ready for our movie date." He grinned.

"Shut up Parth." Sanyukta can't help but smiled when Randhir rolled his eyes.

"Okay, jab tu itna insist kar raha hain toh I'm ready, waise hi jaa raha hain tu toh tera last wish samajh kar chal raha hu!" Randhir smirked at him.

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