Next day Randhir and Sanyukta went to the clinic. Sanyukta have no idea about the injection so she was normal. But when she saw the syringe at Karan's hand she got panicked.

"Ma-main injection nehi lagayungi." She said with a shakey voice.

"But injection toh lena padega Sanyukta, it's important." Karan said in a serious way.

"Jijaji aap koi vi medicine de dijiye main kha lungi but please injection nehi." She started arguing like a kid.

"Sanyukta don't be childish, jijaji doctor hain unhen pata hain keya sahi hain keya galat." Randhir said annoyingly.

"Randhir mujhe injection se bahut darr lagta hain, aur...aur iss injection ki size toh dekho tum, kitna bada hain." She said nervously.

"Sanyukta it's okay, I'm here na." He said holding her hand.

"Randhir injection kyu leni hain, main toh ekdom thik hu?" She asked worriedly.

"Sanyukta tumhari body mein blood bilkul nehi hain issi liye tumhe yeh injection leni hain, understand!" He lied her.

"Hain, khoon nehi hain toh phir main zinda kaise hu, bhoot hu keya?" She asked innocently thus Karan laughed.

"Haan haan Randhir ne choose liya hoga, yu toh normally patniya pati ki khoon choosti hain but for a change Randhir ne tumhara khoon chose liya." Karan laughed at his own joke.

"Randhir please." She was begging with her beautiful eyes thus his heart melt but he knows he have to be strong for her only.

"Sanyukta injection nehi lagayogi toh baby par negative effect hoga, keya tum yehi chahati ho baby ki life risk mein dalna?" He asked softly when she nodded a no with her moist eyes.

"Toh phir injection lagwaogi na?" He asked again when she nodded positively and he smiled.

She closed her eyes in fear when Karan placed the niddle at the skin of her waist when she clutched Randhir's hand tightly.

"Aahhh..." She winced in pain as Karan pushed the injection when Randhir take her hand in between his hands.

"Okay done." Karan said when Sanyukta sat up on the cot.

They came out from the cabin after sometimes. Sanyukta felt a sharp pain at her waist but she kept mum. She was limping due to the pain when Randhir lifted her on his arms and Sanyukta placed her hands around his neck to adjust the balance. Randhir started walking when everyone looked at them in awe as they never saw a husband who carried his wife in that way.

"Randhir sab dekh rahe hain!" Sanyukta mumbled to saw the others people there.

"Unki aankhen hain toh phir wo toh dekhenge hi na Sanyukta." Randhir mouthed slowly and carried her without any hesitation. They came to the parking and Randhir placed her inside the car and starts the car.

"Is it hurting?" He asked on the way.

"Not much." She said slowly.

Sanyukta was in pain but she doesn't show it to Randhir. Soon they reached at the mansion and Sanyukta went to the room when Randhir was looking for Renuka.

Sanyukta came to their room and all most fall on the bed due to the pain. Her waist was paining like hell, she take out a lotion which Karan gave him and apply on her waist. She felt relieved after sometimes and went to the washroom. After sometimes Randhir entered and saw the lotion on bed.

"Yeh toh jiju ne diya tha bola tha ki injection ki wajah se aagar jyada pain ho toh isse apply karne ko. That's mean Sanyukta is in pain, toh phir usne mujhe bataya kyu nehi?" He was disappointed, just then Sanyukta came out from the washroom, she came slowly and sat down on the bed.

"Tumhe pain ho raha tha toh phir bataya kyu nehi?" Randhir asked sitting beside her.

"Randhir itna vi pain nehi hain ke main bear na kar pau." She said resting her back on the pillow.

"Aur phir aab toh iss pain ki habit dalni hogi mujhe haar week jo leni hain injection mujhe." She sighed when Randhir take her hand.

"Yeh sab kuch tumhari health ke liye Sanyukta, humari aane wale bacche ke liye. Tum dekhna jab wo iss duniya mein aayega aur tum usse peheli baar aapne god mein logi tum saari taqlif bhul jayogi." He caressed her hand when she smiled a little.

"Haan aur shayed ek dusre ko vi!" She said in mind.

Soon night crept, everyone was sleeping in their prospective room. Randhir was sleeping also but his sleep got disturbed by some sounds. He switched on the light and saw Sanyukta was crying slowly, he sat up quickly.

"Sanyukta what happened, why are you crying?" He asked worriedly.

"Randhir bahut dard ho raha hain." She said pointing at her waist.

"Kaha dikhao." He examined the place where she was injected, the place was swelling and turn red as an angry bird.

"Ohh god mujhe jagaya kyu nehi, ruko lotion laga deta hu." He said quickly.

"Maine lotion lagaya hain Randhir but it's still paining." She mouthed. Randhir thought for a second.

"Wait, I'll be back soon." He said and came to the kitchen.

He take a saucepan and started boiling water. After boiled water he try to pour that in the hot water bag. On that process some boiled water fall on his hand. He winced in pain but don't bother about that and came back to the room quickly.

"Okay garam pani se thoda sa sek lo aaram milega." He said and applying the hot water bag at her pain. She moaned in pleasure as she felt a warm touch on her pain.

"Feeling better, achchha laag raha hain aab?" He asked softly when she nodded a yes.

"Thank you." She said wiping her eyes.

"Please Sanyukta thank you ki koi jarrurat nehi, it's my duty." He replied slowly.

"Nehi wo tumhari neend kharab kar diya maine." She said slowly.

"Maine toh tumhari zindegi kharab kar diya Sanyukta, uske samne yeh toh kuch nehi." He said in mind.

"No it's okay, soo jau good night." He caressed her cheek a little and lay down.

Sanyukta was shocked by his this gesture and lay down also. Soon she dozed off but Randhir can't, he was still awake.

"Sanyukta I know you still hate me, that's why you didn't share anything with me. I'm sorry for my every mistake and I know sorry is not enough for my deeds, but still I'll say sorry to you in every possible way. And one day you will forgive me for sure." He said with determination.

Randhir started take care of Sanyukta in every possible way. Her food, her medicines, her every necessities, what she need he was looking at everything. Renuka don't talk to much with Randhir but she has an eye on him as he did well or not. Sanyukta sometimes complaining about Randhir to Renuka that he didn't let her do anything according to her wish but Renuka smiled at her futile attempt as she knows whatever Randhir was doing was beneficial for both Sanyukta and her baby.

There was another one who has an eye on Randhir also. She was none other than Arpita. The way Randhir take care of Sanyukta, Arpita can't take that. She can saw the differences between them was decreasing slowly and she doesn't want that at any cost.

At one fine morning everyone came for the breakfast, Renuka made puri and chhole for everyone. Sanyukta's eyes lit up to saw the chhole when Randhir placed a bowl full of cornflakes and milk in front of her thus Sanyukta's face fall.

"Mujhe nehi khana yeh cornflakes." She pouted.

"Chup chap khao phir medicine leni hain." Randhir said without looking at her.

"I have a milk aversion remember?" Sanyukta threw the words at Randhir thus he looked at her.

"I know very well that you don't have any milk aversion, maine tumhe chupke se condensed milk khate huya dekha hain kaal, aagar aversion hain toh wo kaise kha liya? Don't believe tum itna bada jhoot bol sakti ho wo vi itne crucial time par!" Randhir eyed her thus Sanyukta's face fall.

"Wo wo mujhe processed milk se aversion nehi hain." She almost stammered.

"Achchha this is also processed milk chup chap khau." Randhir said sternly but still Sanyukta made a face when Randhir take the bowl and stuffed some cornflakes in her mouth.

Arpita watching the incident with an angry face but now she can't tolerate all this and left the breakfast table next. Arpita came to her room and closed the door loudly. She came to her bed and throw the pillows angrily and sat on the bed with a thud.

"Chali kyu nehi jati wo Sanyukta humare life se! Mujhse bolti hain ki sabse jyada hate wo Ron se karti hain lekin jab dekho tab mere Ron se hi chipak kar raheti hain. Jaan bujh kar wo sab karti hain taki Ron haar waqt uske saath rahe, uska care kare, desperate bitch kahiki." She let out her frustration.

"Aab mujhe hi kuch karna padega, uss Sanyukta ko uski aasli jagah dikhani padegi, taki usse pata chale ke Ron ke life mein uski koi jagah nehi hain." She take out her mobile and made some call.

"Now I'll show you your real place Sanyukta." And Arpita smirked devilishly.

After breakfast Sanyukta was getting ready to go out when Randhir came to their room, he was surprised to saw her getting ready.

"Where are you going?" He asked surprisingly.

"Hum bahar jaa rahe hain, me and Kaustaki. Pehele shopping, then lunch and movie aur uske baad beach par masti karenge. Pure din ka plan hain." Sanyukta smiled brightly when Randhir rolled his eyes.

"No you are not going anywhere." Randhir said sternly thus Sanyukta's face fall.

"Maine maa se permission liya hain, unhen koi problem nehi hain mere bahar jane se." She said slowly.

"But mujhe problem hain. Tum iss halat mein kahi nehi jayogi, wo vi aakeli. Mere samne hi itni careless raheti ho, don't know mere pith piche keya karogi!" He said sternly.

"Aakeli kaha, main toh Kaustuki ke saath jayungi!" She said slowly.

"No means no, tum ghar par rahogi aur yeh main kuch books laya tha about pregnancy, read all this, okay!" He said firmly and placed some books on the bed.

"I'm not your slave Randhir, you can't stop me to do anything, I'll go anywhere, understand!" She said angrily.

"Yes I can do and you aren't going anywhere that's final." Randhir said and left the room when Sanyukta stomped her feet on the floor.

Sanyukta was sitting numb in her room when Arpita came there.

"Hello Sanyukta, hope I'm not disturbing you." She said with a smile.

"No it's okay." Sanyukta smiled a little.

"Are you still angry on me for that day?" Arpita asked thus Sanyukta looked at her confusingly.

"Why I'm angry on you Arpita?"

"That day I was really rude to you Sanyukta, I'm sorry for that. Mujhe tumse waise baat nehi karni chahiye thi but main keya karu Ron ko helpless dekh kar mujhe gussa aah geya tha aur maine tum par aapna frustration nikala, I'm sorry for that." Arpita said slowly.

"Aare nehi Arpita, that's all right, I understand that you was worried for Randhir and that's why you behaving like that." Sanyukta smiled a little.

"Toh tum naraz nehi ho na mujhse?" Arpita asked hesitatingly.

"Certainly not Arpita." Sanyukta replied.

"So we are still friends?" Arpita asked hopefully.

"Obviously Arpita." Sanyukta smiled.

"Thank you." Arpita also smiled.

"Toh keya kar rahi ho, wo reading! Boar nehi ho jati tum Sanyukta pura din ghar mein rahe kar?" Arpita asked eyed the books.

"Toh keya karu Arpita, Randhir mujhe kahi bahar jane hi nehi deta. Aaj main aur mari friend ne bahut kuch plan kiya tha shopping, lunch, movie, beach par ghumna but Randhir ne jane hi nehi diya." She said sadly.

"This is heights, you are not a criminal jisse Ron room mein lock kar ke rakhega!" Arpita said irritatingly.

"Dekho na Arpita, mera vi mann karta hain bahar jane ka, dosto ke saath ghumne ka, enjoy karne ka..." Sanyukta lowered her lashes.

"Then let's enjoy." Arpita said thus Sanyukta looked at her confusingly.

"Keya matlab?"

"Matlab aaj mere ghar mein kitty party hain, mere saare friends aayenge tum vi chalo, party ki party, enjoyment ki enjoyment, aur mere friends se vi mill logi." Arpita said excitedly.

"Kitty party, tumhare ghar par!" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Haan tumne toh mera ghar dekha hi nehi chalo aaj dekh lena." Arpita smiled brightly. Sanyukta get excited also but her excitement gone next.

"Randhir can't be agree, wo mujhe jane nehi dega." She said sadly.

"Kaise nehi jane dega, tum uski koi slave nehi ho aapni marzi ki malik ho jo mann chahe karogi. Wait aane do usse main usse baat karta hu." Arpita said determinedly. Just then Randhir came at the room. He was surprised to saw Arpita with Sanyukta.

"Arpita you here?" He asked.

"Ron main tumhe bolne aayi thi ke aaj shaam ko main Sanyukta ko leke bahar jane wali hu." She said normally.

"Sanyukta kahi nehi jaa rahi hain." Listening this Sanyukta's face fall.

"Main tujmse puch nehi rahi hu Ron bata rahi hu." Arpita said firmly.

"Arpi main vi tumhe bata hi raha hu, Sanyukta kahi nehi jayegi, she needs rest." Randhir also said firmly.

"Ron Sanyukta is pregnant, wo bimar nehi hain jo bahar nehi jaa sakti! Wo chal rahi hain mere saath, understand!" Arpita said confidently.

"Main vi wohi bol raha hu ke Sanyukta needs rest cause she is Pregnant, so she is not going anywhere understand!" Randhir eyed at Sanyukta.

"I told you na Arpita ke Randhir mujhe kahi jane nehi dega, see!" Sanyukta said slowly.

"Aaise kaise jane nehi dega, Ron pregnancy mein ek ladki ko humesha khush rahena chahiye, tumhe keya lagta hain usse yu room mein lock karke rakhne se uska faida hoga?" Arpita asked annoyingly.

"Maine kisiko lock karke nehi rakha, aagar kisi mein thoda sa vi responsibility hoti toh mujhe kuch bolna hi nehi padta. Jab dekho uchal kood, bhagna heights of carelessness." He said irritatingly.

"Ron main saath mein hungi na, aur phir hum mere ghar hi toh jaa rahe hain, mere kuch friends aane wale hain toh hum sirf chit chat karenge aur kuch nehi, please." Arpita pleaded.

"Rahene do Arpita meri wajase tum dono fight mat karo, mujhe nehi jana kahi." Sanyukta shaded some tears.

"Dekha rula diya na bechari ko, how could you Ron! Aab toh khush ho na uska dil dukhake!" Arpita said angrily.

"Dramebaaz kahiki!" He murmured slowly taking a glance of Sanyukta.

"Okay meri maa jau leke jau." Randhir joined his both palms and bend down a little. "But please be careful." He said looking at them.

"Yes yes we are careful enough. Sanyukta be ready hum shaam ko jayeng." Sanyukta nodded when smiled brightly and Arpita left.

"Aab toh khush hona aapni mann maani karke?" Randhir asked annoyingly when Sanyukta grinned.

"Daat keya dikha rahi ho, ek baat yeead rakhna 8 baje tak ghar aah jana kyu ke exactly 8.30 ko medicine leni hain tumko phir dinner, otherwise dekh lena!" He said and about to go but stopped next to heard something. He turned and saw Sanyukta was humming a song. He understand that she was very happy and he smiled to saw her happy after so many days.

After lunch Sanyukta was busy to select a dress for the party. She take a dress and stood in front of the mirror.

"Perfect." She smiled.

"Disaster!" Sanyukta turn around to heard that and saw Randhir there.

"Maine tumse pucha!" She raised her brows.

"Aagar puch leti toh yeh confusion nehi hota." He shrugged his shoulder. Sanyukta went to the cupboard and take out another dress.

"Worse ever!" Randhir said again thus Sanyukta rolled her eyes.

"Mera dress hain tumhe keya problem ho raha hain?" She asked angrily.

"Problem yeh hain ki you are my wife aur aagar aaisi dress pehen kar jayogi toh phir mera prestige puncher hoga, tumhara keya hain!" He said and gave her a packet.

"Wear it only." Sanyukta opened the packet and saw a royal blue coloured anarkali salwar suit. She looked at him shockingly.

"Why are you waiting now go and get ready?" He raised his brows.

"I hate blue." She said sternly.

"But I love blue, it's my favourite colour."

"Toh tum hi peheno." She said irritatingly.

"Wear this or forget about the party." He said sternly thus she don't have any other option. She gritted her teeth and dashed towards the washroom.

"Enough is enough, aab dress vi mujhe uske pasand ki pahenni padegi! Urggghhh, baby tum jaldi se aah jau phir dono mill kar maza chakhayenge papa ko, haan!" She said while caressed her belly lovingly.

Sanyukta wear the salwar and came out from the washroom. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at her image. She could feel she was glowing each and every day. Is this the famous pregnancy glow she has heard! She thought unmindfully.

"So much lost in own beauty!" Sanyukta came back to her senses to heard Randhir and turned around when he came to her.

"You are looking so pretty Sanyukta." He smiled at her thus she rolled her eyes.

"Am I asking you anything?" She frowned.

"Mujhe aapni biwi ki tarif karne ke liye kisiki permission nehi chahiye. And I heard that praising the would be mother makes her feel happy and that's good for her as well as the baby." He said touching her cheek lovingly when she smiled teasingly.

"I told you Randhir how bad are you handling the other relations but you will be a best dad of this world." She said sternly and about to go but bump with the stool when he hold her shoulder. Sanyukta closed her eyes in fear with the thought that Randhir must be scolded her now but she feels complete silence there. She opened her eyes and saw him admiring her face. She was confused.

"Maine gussa kyu nehi kiya yehi soch rahi ho na?" Sanyukta nodded on his question.

"Cause I don't want to spoil your mood and I know you don't did it intentionally but can't I expect some responsibility from you, at least for the baby?" He asked pushing some locks behind her ear.

"Sorry, I'll be careful." She said firmly and open the drawer when her eyes fall on the vermilion box.

She was tore down her mangalsutra and wiped her sindoor long time back. After she came back no one can asked her about this two things as they know the truth of their relationship. She was looking at the box blankly, numerous thoughts run into her mind when Arpita came.

"Sanyukta are you done?" Arpita asked entered the room.

"Yeah almost." Sanyukta said and closed the drawer next. She adjusted her dupatta and get up.

"I'm ready." She said slowly.

"Okay let's go, bye Ron." Arpita said.

"Bye, have fun." Randhir smiled at them thus Sanyukta smiled back.

"Fun! Yeah Ron we will. Aaj toh main bahut enjoy karne wali hu. Poor Sanyukta you don't even know what will waiting for you!" Arpita thought and smirked devilishly.

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

So friends how was the part? Do you like it or not?
