Sanyukta and Kanika were sitting at the room and talking.

"Randhir was changed na, jaisa tune pehele bola tha aab wo waisa nehi raha, bahut changes aah geya hain uss mein. Kaal maine mall mein vi dekha tha ke kaise wo tujhe uss odd situation mein protect kar raha tha, he really cares for you Sanyu." Kanika said when Sanyukta kept mum.

"What happened Sanyu kuch toh bol!" Kanika said curiously.

"Keya bolu wohi soch rahi hu Kannu." Sanyukta replied slowly.

"Keya bolu matlab tere aur Randhir ke bich mein sab kuch thik toh hain na, tu khush toh hain na usske saath?" Kanika asked curiously.

"Haan main khush hu." Sanyukta said after a pause.

"And yeah you are right Randhir is changed, he changed a lot. Aur wo mera bahut care karta hain. Aachanak se ekdam perfect husband ban geya hain. So caring so responsible and this is eating me Kannu." Sanyukta said when Kanika looked at her confusingly.

"Keya matlab?" She asked confusingly.

"Randhir is guilt stricken for his deed and he asked me for my forgiveness. Wo past ko bhula kar aage warna chahata hain but the fact is I can't. Mujhse nehi ho raha hain Kannu, main jitna past ko bhulne ki try kar lu bhul hi nehi pati. Jab vi main aapna aankhen bandh karta hu toh mujhe wo raat aur college ki wo room yeed aata hain." She cried when Kanika hold her shoulder.

"It's okay Sanyu, sab kuch thik ho jayega. Bass tujhe thoda time chahiye. And please think about the baby too. Tum dono alag ho jayoge toh uska keya hoga?" Kanika asked thus Sanyukta looked at her.

"Aapne bachche ke ware mein hi toh soch kar maine Randhir ko aur iss shaadi ko ek chance diya hain Kannu but mujhse nehi ho raha hain, main keya karu?" Sanyukta said helplessly.

"Forgive him."

"Keya?" Kanika said when Sanyukta look at her shockingly.

"Haan Sanyu, maaf kar de Randhir ko. Look you hold the grudges and that's why you are stuck with your past and that's suffocating you. Ghut ghut kar marr rahi hain tu Sanyu. Meri maan sab kuch bhula kar ek neyi zindegi start kar." Kanika said holding her hand.

"Bolna aasan hain Kannu but karna muskil." Sanyukta said slowly.

"I know muskil hain lekin namumkin nehi. And if you don't able to forget the past then ask Randhir for punishment." Kanika said thus Sanyukta looked at her confusingly.

"Punishment!" Sanyukta was shocked.

"Yes punishment, if he is really guilt striken then he won't be deny for it." Kanika said determinedly.

"But keya punishment Kannu?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"You will decide that only Sanyu. Zakham tujhe lagi hain toh saza dene ka haq vi tujhe hona chahiye." Kannu said thus Sanyukta nodded positively.

                                 * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta was sitting at her room lost in Kanika's words. She was very much confused after hearing her words.

"Keya Kannu sahi hain, keya maine past ko jakar kar rakha huya hain! Keya mujhe sab kuch bhula kar aage warna chahiye!" She asked to herself.

"But Randhir ne jo mere saath kiya hain usse main itni aasani se kaise bhul jau!" She said in mind.

"Lekin mera baby, uski upor keya effect padega inn sabka!" She said holding her belly.

"Aur....aur aab main aapne baby ke bina nehi rahe sakti." She shaded some tears when caressing her belly.

"Toh phir main keya karu! Keya mujhe Kannu ki baat maan leni chahiye aur Randhir ko punishment deni chahiye! Lekin keya usse punishment dene se main aapne saath huye saare unfair cheezo ko bhul sakti hu!" She was confused.

"Aur aagar Randhir punishment ke liye nehi mana toh!" She was confused when remembered Kanika's words.

"If he is really guilt stricken then he won't be deny for it."

"Yes Kannu is right aagar Randhir such mein guilty hain toh phir wo punishment ke liye mana nehi karega aur yehi ek rashta hain jisse ke main wo sab kuch bhula saku. At least mujhe thodi si satisfaction toh milegi na that Randhir is really changed, changed for good." She is convinced now.

"Yes I'll ask Randhir for punishment." She said determinedly.

"But keya punishment?" She was confused again.

"Randhir aagar tum uss din college mein mere saath wo sab kuch nehi karta toh phir aaj humare bich ka equation kuch aur hi hota. Hum vi normal couple jaise hote." Sanyukta gulped hard remembering those happy couples around her.

Sanyukta was lost in her agony when someone tiptoe came from her behind and covered her eyes with his both palms.

"Randhir!"

Sanyukta jumped a little and take the name when the man removed his hands from her eyes and Sanyukta become shocked to saw Parth in front of her.

"What Senorita, main USA keya chala geya tum toh mujhe bhul hi geyi!" He smiled at her when Sanyukta was short of words.

"Parth tum such much mere samne ho yeah phir main swapna dekh rahi hu!" She said shockingly.

"Well tumhare samne ek piece mein khada hu if you don't believe you can pinch me." He said forwarded his hand when Sanyukta slowly hold his hand.

"So believe it now ke main saach much aapke samne khada hu!" Parth said playfully when Sanyukta tried to smile but tears came out from her eyes next.

"Sanyukta keya baat hain tum roo kyu rahi ho?" Parth asked shockingly when Sanyukta bursted out into tears. All her emotions and insecurities came out as tears.

"Sanyukta baat keya hain tum roo kyu rahi ho, kuch toh bolo?" Parth asked surprisingly when Sanyukta was crying continuously.

"Parth." Came a voice from behind thus Parth turned around and saw Renuka there.

"Badi mom yeh Sanyukta kyu roo rahi hain?" He asked confusingly.

"Parth tum thodi der ke liye bahar jau." Renuka said slowly.

"But badi mom!"

"Parth please." Renuka said thus Parth nodded and left from there. Renuka came and sat beside Sanyukta when she hugged her tightly.

"Keya baat hain Sanyukta tum roo kyu rahi ho, Randhir ne phirse kuch kiya hain?" Renuka asked caressing her hairs.

"Nehi maa Randhir ne kuch nehi kiya wo toh mujhse maafi mang raha hain." Sanyukta said hiding her face on her chest.

"Toh phir tumne keya socha?" Renuka asked when consoling her.

"Maa I can't, main bahut koushis kar rahi hu but mujhse nehi ho raha hain." Sanyukta hiccups.

"Toh phir tum keya chahati ho beta?" Renuka asked again.

"Maa haar galti ki saza hoti hain, toh aagar Randhir ko vi saza mile toh uss mein kuch galat hain keya?" Sanyukta asked slowly.

"That means tum Randhir ko saza dena chahati ho?" Renuka asked when Sanyukta broke the hug.

"Maa keya aapko aaitraaz hain toh phir main nehi dungi saza Randhir ko." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Nehi Sanyukta mujhe koi problem nehi hain, aagar punishment dene ke baad tum finally Randhir ko maaf kar pau toh tumhe usse punishment deni chahiye." Renuka said when Sanyukta looked at her in disbelief.

"Aur Randhir nehi mana toh?" Sanyukta asked hesitatingly.

"Wo jarur manega, usse manna hi padega." Renuka said and left from there.

"Badi mom what happened, Sanyukta roo kyu rahi thi? Everything is fine na?" Parth asked worriedly.

"Parth mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hain, kuch bahut important. Mere saath aau." Renuka said and went to her room followed by Parth.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Parth came out from Renuka's room, his face was stiffen and eyes became red. He can't believe what Renuka told him. He was shocked to heard the truth behind Randhir and Sanyukta's marriage. In fact shock is an understatement word for him. He became restless after hearing all this. He came to his room and sat down silently, random thoughts were running in his mind. Just then his phone buzz on, Parth took out the phone and saw Randhir's name on it, he clenched his jaw and cut the phone.

Randhir was surprised as Parth cut his phone, he again called him but the phone went unheard as he didn't receive it.

"Aajeb hain!" Randhir mumbled.

"What happened?" Roja asked confusingly.

"Nothing, wo ghar se call aaya tha ke Parth aaya hain, my cousin brother. Wo USA mein raheta hain usiko call kar raha tha but wo phone nehi utha raha hain. Don't know why!" Randhir said confusingly.

"Aare itna long journey karke aaya hain, tired hoga, maybe rest kar raha hain issi liye phone nehi uthaya hoga." Roja replied thus Randhir nodded.

"Yeah maybe you are right. Okay aabhi yeha ki saari formalities complete ho chuka hain toh phir main chalta hu, kuch important hoga toh call karna." Randhi said when Roja nodded positively and he left for office.

At mansion all became together, even Ragini also came with Mishti hearing Parth's arrival. But Parth was sitting silently there, he became silent after hearing the truth. He looked at Sanyukta who seems lost in somewhere and felt ashamed remembered Randhir's deed. 

"Lagta hain Parth aapna soul waha America mein chhod kar aaya hain, warna jise itna mazak karne ki aadat hain wo ek baat vi nehi kar raha!" Anjali said teasingly thus Parth smiled a little.

"Wo bhabhi thoda sa tired hu bass." He said slowly.  

"Shayed jet lag hain." Ragini said.

"Aare Sanyukta tum itni chup chap kyu ho tumhara toh best friend aaya hain tumhe toh sabse jyada khush hona chahiye." Anjali said cheerfully when Sanyukta smiled a little.

"Khush kyu nehi hogi bhabhi bahut khush hain, in fact khushi ke maare toh isski aasu nikal aaye thay." Parth said in a sarcastic way thus Sanyukta looked at him confusingly when Parth look away.

"Keya matlab?" Anjali asked confusingly.

"Kuch nehi, excuse me everyone I felt tired so want to take some rest." Parth said and left from there when Sanyukta looked at his retreating figure surprisingly.

"Parth ko keya huya hain kuch badla badla sa laag raha hain!" Sanyukta asked to herself.

Parth came to his room and sat down on the bed with a thud. He was lost in his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." He said and next Sanyukta entered at his room.

"Hi Parth." She said with a smile.

"Hi." He said when switched on the TV. 

"Tum busy ho keya?" She asked.

"Haan." He replied when surfing the channels.

"Main tumse milne aayi hu." She said hesitatingly as he continuously ignoring her.

"Mill liya, toh aab jaa sakti ho am want to take rest." He said sternly.

"Parth keya mujhse koi galti ho geyi hain jo tum mujhse aaise behave kar rahe ho?" She asked surprisingly when Parth switched off the TV and threw the remote.

"Yeh vi mujhe batana padega Sanyukta ke tumne keya galti ki hain?" Parth asked angrily when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

"Itna sab kuch ho geya aur tumne mujhe ekbaar vi batane ki jarurat nehi samaji!" He said when Sanyukta gulped hard.

"Tum keya bol rahe ho Parth mujhe kuch samajh mein nehi aah raha hain!" She was confused now.

"Don't try to act innocent Sanyukta, badi mom ne mujhe sab kuch bata diya hain. Tumhara aur Randhir ka rishte ki saach." He said thus Sanyukta's eyes became widened in horror.

"Main tumse humesha puchta raha ke tumhare aur Randhir ke bich sab thik toh hain na, tum khush toh ho na but you....you always lied, jhoot bola tumne mujshe, humesha saach chupaya aur iss baat ke liye main tumhe kabhi maaf nehi karunga." Parth said angrily when Sanyukta lowered her lashes.

"Parth I'm sorry." She said slowly when he showed his palm.

"Actually tumne mujhe kabhi aapna friend samjha hi nehi aur nahi kabhi trust kiya mujh par. Otherwise tum kabhi mujhse itni badi baat nehi chhupati." He said when Sanyukta kept mum.

"Okay fine mujhe vi tum jaisi dost ki koi jarurat nehi hain. Aaj se humara dosti khatam." Parth said when Sanyukta looked at him shockingly. 

"Parth!" She was short of words.

"Yes we are no more friends now, got it now leave." He said in an icy cold voice when tears rolled down from Sanyukta's eyes.

"Parth please ek baar meri baat toh suno." She pleaded.

"Leave Sanyukta." He said again when Sanyukta came out from the room wiping her tears.

                                * * * * * * * * *

At the evening Randhir came quickly to the mansion and direct headed towards Parth's room but didn't found anyone.

"Jarur Sanyukta ke saath hoga aur kaam hi keya hain usse!" He said and came to his room and found Sanyukta was playing ludo with Mishti and Rehan. Actually Mishti and Rehan were playing when Sanyukta sat there silently.

"Aare yeha vi nehi hain toh phir geya kaha?" He asked to himself.

"Sanyukta wo Parth kaha hain?" He asked thus she came back to her senses.

"Aapne room mein rest kar raha hain." She replied slowly.

"Uski room se hi toh aah raha hu, nehi hain waha par." Randhir replied.

"Wo maine Parth chachu ko terrace ki taraf jate huye dekha tha." Rehan said.

"Okay, main usse mill kar aata hu." Randhir said and before Sanyukta can say anything he rushed towards the terrace became unknown about the storm.

Randhir came to the terrace and saw Parth stood there placed his hands on the railing.

"Hey kaisa hain, aaise aachanak! Tune aane ka khabar vi nehi diya!" Randhir said cheerfully when Parth kept mum.

"Waise kabse tujhe call kar raha hu utha kyu nehi raha tha?" Randhir asked again when Parth was numb.

"Haan haan aate hi Sanyukta ke saath mazak kar raha hoga!" He said teasingly when his face welcome a tight punch.

"Main toh sirf mazak karta hu but tune keya kiya uske saath?" He said in an icy cold voice when Randhir became shocked.

"Parth what are you doing..." But before he complete his face welcome another punch.

"Parth pagal ho geya hain keya?" Randhir asked shockingly.

"Haan ho geya hu pagal, jabse mujhe pata chala ke tune keya kiya hain main pagal ho geya hu." Parth almost screamed.

"Keya bol raha hain tu, keya kiya hain maine?" Randhir also screamed.

"Tujhe sharam nehi aati mujhse puch raha hain ke keya kiya hain tune! Huhhh main expect vi kisse kar raha hu aagar tujh mein itni si vi sharam hoti toh phir tu Sanyukta ke saath wo sab kuch nehi karta. Usse puri duniya ke samne humiliat nehi karta!" Parth said when Randhir looked at him shockingly.

"Tujhe kisne bataya Sanyukta ne?" Randhir only managed to say.

"Do you really think Randhir ke Sanyukta ne mujhe yeh sab kuch bataya hain! No you are wrong, mujhe Sanyukta ne nehi badi mom ne bataya hain." Parth said furiously thus Randhir's eyes got widened.

"Keya mom ne!" He gulped hard.

"Jab badi mom ne mujhe turant yeha aane ke liye request kiya tab mujhe laga tha ke kuch baat toh hain lekin wo yeh hain yeh nehi pata tha mujhe!" Parth said angrily.

"I can't believe ke tu itna gira huya kaam vi kar sakta hain Randhir, shame on you." He said with immense hatred.

"Parth I know ke maine galat kiya hain but tu ekbaar meri baat toh sun." Randhir tried to say.

"Kuch nehi sunna mujhe, tune Sanyukta ke saath jo kuch vi kiya uske baad toh kabhi nehi. Tere karni ki saza maine usse diya, usse dosti tod kar aaya jab ke uski toh koi galti thi hi nehi. Roo rahi thi bechari wo vi aaisi halat mein..." Parth stopped in middle as he remembered something.

"Ek baat bata tu toh usse nafrat karta hain na, usse revenge lene ke liye yeh shaadi ki thi toh phir yeh bachcha! Kahi tune uske saath kuch galat toh..." Parth asked holding his collar when Randhir can't tolerate it anymore.

"Just shut up Parth." Randhir also hold his collar and screamed.

"This time you are going too far. I know I did a big mistake, galti ho geyi thi mujhse, andha tha main Sanyukta se badla lene ke liye, uska matlab yeh nehi ke main aapna haad bhul jayunga!" Randhir said furiously.

"Waise vi tu koynsa aapne haad mein tha, ek innocent ladki ki life spoil karne se pehele tune ekbaar vi nehi socha!" Parth said angrily.

"Look Parth I know that am wrong and I regretting for it. Believe me I realised my mistake and I tried to rectify it, please just believe me once." Randhir pleaded

"Believe you, yeah sure! And mistake, no Randhir that wasn't a mistake, that's a crime. I'm happy ke tum dono ka divorce ho raha hain, you know what you don't deserve her. You don't deserve Sanyukta." Parth said each and every word dipped in anger. Randhir has enough now, Parth's each and every word stabbed his heart badly and he lost his patience also.

"Achchha then who deserve her? You!"

"Randhirrr!" Randhir said in a sarcastic way thus Parth lost his patience too.

"Now you are going too far, just hold your tongue Randhir." Parth said furiously.

"Kyu galat keya bola maine! Pehele din se tu Sanyukta ke piche pada huya tha. Haar waqt dono saath mein, saath mein hasi mazak..." But before he completed his face welcome another punch.

"Such mein kitna gira huya hain tu! Aur tujhse expect vi keya kar sakta hu! Jo ek innocent ladki ki life spoil kar sakta hain wo aapne biwi ke ware mein vi aaisa ghatiya soch rakh sakta hain!" Parth said furiously.

"Mujhe aapne biwi par pura trust hain but tujh par nehi hain samjha! Bachpan se leke aaj tak mera sab kuch tune chhin liya, mera room, meri saari cheeze, sabka favorite hone ka title yeha tak ki mere mom ko vi. Wo meri mom hain lekin pyar tujhse jyada karti hain." Randhir said furiously when Parth looked at him in disbelieve.

"Can't believe this, tu itne dino se aapne mann mein mere khilaf itna saara zaher bhad kar rakha huya tha aur main tujhe aapna sabse achchha dost samajhta raha!" Parth was short of words.

"Aur tu keya chhinne ki baat kar raha hain, aare chhina toh tune mujhse hain. Vidushi, remember? Mera bhai hone ke baad vi tune mujhse meri girlfriend chhin li aur baat karta hain!" Parth said looking at his eyes.

"Ohh toh uss baat ka badla tu Sanyukta ko mujhse dur karke lena chahata hain!" Randhir said when Parth punched him again and this time Randhir also gave it back to him.

"Stop it." They both about to hit each other again when they heard the voice and stopped. They turned around and saw Sanyukta there.

"Stop it, bass karo bahut ho geya. Bachcho ki tarha lad rahe ho dono. Tum dono ko itna sa vi sense nehi ke aagar maa ne yeh sab kuch dekh liya toh phir keya hoga!" Sanyukta said when Randhir and Parth both take steps back.

"Aur Randhir tum, tumhe sharam nehi aati aapne bhai par haat uthate huye?" Sanyukta asked him annoyingly thus Randhir rolled his eyes.

"What, ussne mujh par pehele haat uthaya tha." Randhir said when Sanyukta gave him an angry look thus he look down.

"And Parth." Sanyukta looked at him. "I know tum mujhse naraz ho kyu ki maine tumse saach chhupaya aur tumhari narazgi sahi vi hain. Lekin main sirf ek baat bolna chahati hu ke jo vi hain baat mere aur Randhir ke bich mein hain tum please iss mein interfere mat karo." She said when Parth looked at her.

"I'm sorry Sanyukta jo maine tumhare pati par haat uthaya but don't worry aaj ke baad main tumhare life mein kabhi vi interfere nehi karunga." He said sternly thus Sanyukta repent for her words.

"Parth mera wo matlab nehi tha..." But before Sanyukta completed Parth left from there.

"Parth ne vi mujhe galat hi samjha!" Sanyukta said and before Randhir can say anything she also left the place.

"Sanyukta listen." Randhir said and rushed after her.

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