"Dad suddenly Delhi kyu?" Randhir asked slowly.

"Ek meeting hain, jo Rajveer ko attend karni thi but I need him here for some important work so tumhe jana hain, understand!" Harsh said thus Randhir nodded positively.

"Delhi jana hain but Sanyukta ki aaisi halat mein!" Renuka tried to say something.

"Aaj hi nehi jana hain, 2-3 din baad jana hain and I think Sanyukta vi aabhi thik hain." Harsh said taking a glance of Sanyukta.

"Kab jana hain dad?" Randhir asked again.

"Iss saturday ko." Harsh replied.

"Kitne din ke liye?" Randhir asked again.

"Meeting toh ek din ka maamla hain, lekin jab jaa hi rahe ho toh phir Delhi office aur saare sites vi visit kar lena. I think 3-4 din laag jayega." Harsh replied when Randhir's face fall terribly.

"3-4 din!" Randhir murmured under his breath.

"But dad tab tak Randhir ka kaam koyn sambhalega? I also need someone for the project." Rajveer said this time.

"Kisi aur ko le lo." Harsh replied.

"No dad this is my dream project, main aaise hi kisiko nehi le sakta!" Rajveer denied.

"Yeh toh bahut badi problem ho gayi!" Harsh said thoughtfully.

"Main keya bolti hu Parth ko le lijiye, wo office join kar lega toh Rajveer ka help ho jayega aur Parth ko thoda bahut experience vi. Waise vi Maya ne usse issi liye bheja hain yeha." Renuka suggested thus Parth got shocked.

"Wow mom great idea. Parth office join karlega toh saach mein mera bahut help ho jayega. What are you saying dad?" Rajveer said excitedly.

"Not a bad idea. Parth go and get ready. Tum humara saath office jaa rahe ho." Harsh replied thus Parth gulped hard.

"Ji main!" Parth said nervously.

"Haan tum, jau ready hoke aau." Harsh said thus Parth nodded positively and left from there.

"Waise dad mere nazar mein vi ek candidate hain, bahut hard working. Aagar aap kahe toh..." And Randhir became stopped as Harsh glared at him.

"Aabhi 2 din nehi huye office join kiye huye aur tum kisika sifarish vi leke aah geye!" Harsh said sternly thus Randhir get mum. After completing the breakfast Harsh went to his room when Rajveer looked at Randhir.

"Tujhe pata hain na dad ko yeh sifarish wali baat bilkul nehi pasand, phir vi!" Rajveer crocked his eyes.

"Bro you won't believe usse vi sifarish bilkul nehi pasand but I know ke wo bahut deserving hain. Bro kuch karona please." Randhir pouted.

"Okay okay, next week usse office bhej dena, main vi dekhta hu ke kitna deserving hain!" Rajveer said thoughtfully.

"Okay okay thank you bhai." Randhir said happily.

"Waise bhai aaj ek half day mill sakta hain please?" Randhir made a puppy face when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

"Randhir ko half day kyu chahiye, Delhi jane se pehele mere saath time spend karna chahata hain keya!" Sanyukta suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach.

"Phirse half day Randhir!" Rajveer raised his eyebrows.

"Bro please, aaj last time. Phir kabhi nehi bolunga." Randhir pouted thus Rajveer nodded.

"Tu marwayega, chall jaa last time." Rajveer agreed.

"Thanks bro." Randhir said happily and went to their room.

After taking a quick shower Randhir came out from the washroom and saw Sanyukta sitting on the couch.

"Aare tum aakeli, Kanika kaha hain?" Randhir asked curiously.

"Wo chali geyi, but sabko aapne birthday party ke liye invite karke geyi hain, tumhe vi." Sanyukta informed him.

"Hmm. Kab hain party?" He asked.

"Next week, tum chaloge?" She asked hopefully.

"Haan kyu nehi." Randhir replied thus Sanyukta smiled. Randhir was getting ready when Sanyukta's eyes followed him.

"Bolu ke nehi bolu!" She thought.

"Sorry toh bolna hain lekin kaise!" She said in mind.

"Likh kar de du keya!" She thought for a while.

"No Sanyu bahut galat baat kahi thi tune uss din Randhir ko, sorry note se kaam nehi chalega. Maafi toh tujhe directly mangni padegi!" She said to herself in mind.

"Achchha Sanyukta listen." Sanyukta came back to reality listening to him.

"Haan!" Sanyukta looked at him.

"Aaj shaam ko..." Sanyukta smiled shyly but her smile faded away listen to him next, "mujhe ghar wapas aane mein thoda late ho jayega. Aaj wo Peter ka flight hain Singapore ka toh mujhe airport jana hain." He informed her.

"Wo iss liye bhaiya se half day liya, aur main samjhi..." Suddenly Sanyukta felt her heart heavy and eyes moist.

"Aare Sanyukta tumhe phirse bukhar aaya hain keya?" He asked when she nodded a no. He checked her temperature.

"I'm fine, tum jau." She said slowly.

"Aare tum udas kyu ho geyi, kuch der pehele toh bilkul thik thi!" He asked when she kept mum.

"Ohh now I got it. Tumhari friend ko uski school life crush ne itna bhau diya but tumhe nehi diya iss liye jealous feel kar rahi ho!" And he bursted out into laugh when Sanyukta looked at him angrily.

"You know what main na tumse sorry bolne wali thi lekin aab kabhi nehi bolungi!" She said furiously and left the room when Randhir stood there confused.

"Sorry, wo vi mujhe! Lekin kyu?" He asked himself confusingly.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Randhir confusingly came out from the mansion where Parth was waiting for him.

"Aare yeh tere chehere par 12 kyu baja huya hain, halat toh mera tight hain. Bade papa ne office jane ke liye toh bol diya but don't know main kaise manage karunga!" Parth said nervously when Randhir kept mum. Parth noticed that.

"Randhir?" Parth called him thus Randhir looked at him.

"What happened? Lost laag raha hain, kuch huya hain keya?" Parth asked confusingly.

"Aare wo Sanyukta bol rahi thi ke wo mujhse maafi mangna chahati hain but phir baton baton mein naraz ho geyi aur bol kar gayi ke kabhi maafi nehi mangegi. But mujhe yeh samajh mein nehi aah raha ke wo mujhse maafi kyu mangna chahati hain!" Randhir said confusingly when Parth laughed.

"Aare Sanyukta tujhse maafi mangna chahati hain, bhai aaj suraj kahase nikla hain!" Parth looked at the sky.

"Yaar mazak mat kar am already confused." Randhir said irritatingly.

"Aare iss mein confused hone ka keya baat hain, Sanyu ne tujhe gusse mein kuch bol diya hoga aur aabhi regret kar rahi hain toh sorry bolna chahati hain, simple." Parth shrugged his shoulders.

"Keya, but kaal raat toh usne kuch nehi bola!" He scratched his head.

"Keya!" Parth asked confusingly.

"Umm nothing, soch raha hu ke aaisa keya bola tha Sanyukta ne jiske wajase wo mujhe sorry bolna chahati thi!" Randhir said confusingly.

"That's not important bro, but main yeh soch raha hu ke main tujhe lucky kahu yeah unlucky!" Parth said thus Randhir looked at him confusingly.

"Kyu?" Randhir crocked his eyes.

"Lucky iss liye ke teri wife tujhse sorry bolna chahati thi but tune wo chance miss kar diya. So unlucky." Parth chuckled hard.

"Shut up. Haar waqt mazak." Randhir said angrily and went towards his car followed by Parth.

                              * * * * * * * * *

As the lunch time came Randhir came to Rajveer's cabin.

"So bro main chalta hu aap please samval lena." Randhir said.

"But tu jaa kaha raha hain?" Rajveer asked confusingly.

"Wo bro mere friend ki bhai ko cancer hain bataya tha na, aaj shaam ko uski flight hain Singapore ke liye, so..." He stopped in middle.

"Ohh okay. Achchha chal jaa." Rajveer nodded but Randhir still stood there.

"Now what?" Rajveer raised his brows.

"Wo bro, wo maine aapne dost ke ware mein subha bataya tha na!" He said hesitatingly.

"Aare bola na next week usse office bhej dena. Waise naam keya hain uska?" Rajveer asked normally.

"Bro wo Roja. Aap usse mill chuke hain pehele." Randhir said slowly thus Rajveer looked at him shockingly.

"Randhir tum aabhi vi uss bar singer ki chungal se chhute nehi?" Rajveer asked shockingly.

"Bro please, uska naam Roja hain aur wo aab bar singer nehi hain. Aap please uske ware mein respect se baat kijiye, dost hain wo meri." Randhir said slowly yet sternly.

"Ohh toh usne aapna saara zaher tumhare aandar daal diya! Sanyukta ko pata hain inn sabke ware mein!" Rajveer said in a sarcastic way.

"Haan bro Sanyukta ko sab kuch pata hain aur usse humari dosti se koi problem nehi hain. In fact Sanyukta ko toh yeh vi pata hain ke aaj main Peter ko chhodne airport jayunga." Randhir said thus Rajveer looked at him confusingly.

"Toh Peter Roja ka bhai hain?" Rajveer asked shockingly.

"Haan bro, aur aabhi toh aap samajh gaye na ke kyu Roja ko bar mein gaana pada tha! Bro kisiki majburiyo ko uski marzi ka naam deke hum uska insult nehi kar sakte! Wo vi tab jab hume unke ware mein kuch vi nehi pata!" Randhir said when Rajveer kept mum.

"I'm sorry bro aagar maine kuch jyada bol diya toh. But Roja is really a nice girl aur mujhe nehi lagta ke uski help karke main kuch galat kar raha hu." Randhir stated slowly.

"Thik hain usse office aane ke liye bolna." Rajveer said when Randhir looked at him shockingly.

"But main interview lene ke baad hi yeh decision lunga ke wo iss job ke layek hain yeah nehi!" Rajveer said when Randhir smiled brightly.

"Ohh thank you very much bro." He almost jumped on him.

"You are the best." Randhir said thus Rajveer smiled also.

"Okay okay don't buttering me and now get out." Rajveer said with a smile.

"Okay boss." Randhir salute him and left the cabin next.

                               * * * * * * * * *

"So all okay?" Randhir asked entered at Roja's house thus she nodded positively.

"Visa, passport, ticket sab kuch thik se rakh liya na?" He asked when Roja nodded again.

"Yeh baar baar mundi kyu hila rahi hain, muh mein jaban nehi hain keya?" He asked teasingly but stopped next saw her moist eyes.

"Hey Roja keya huya, tum roo kyu rahi ho?" Randhir asked surprisingly.

"Wo Peter....Peter thik toh ho jayega na?" Roja asked when tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Hey Roja don't worry Peter bilkul thik ho jayega. Aare waha bahut achchhi facilities hain, he will be fine. Trust me." Randhir said thus Roja shook her head.

"Now let's go. Flight ka time ho raha hain." Randhir said and they left for hospital next.

                               * * * * * * * * *

As Peter's flight left for Singapore Randhir dropped Roja and granny at their house.

"Achchha main chalta hu, aagar kuch vi chahiye hoga yeah phir koi problem ho toh mujhe kabhi vi call karna, okay!" Randhir said thus Roja nodded positively.

"Thank you for everything Randhir." Roja said slowly.

"Mention not." He smiled brightly.

"Aur haan iss saturday ko main Delhi jane wala hu but tum next monday ko office jake Rajveer bhaiya se mill lena. Unhone interview lene ke liye tumhe bulaya hain." Randhir said with a smile when Roja looked at him.

"Aur unhen mere ware mein kisne bataya, tumne?" She asked sternly thus Randhir was tongue tied.

"Haan....wo matlab..." He was hesitated when Roja became angry.

"For how many times I have to told you Randhir that don't do any favor on me! I'm not a charity case jaha par tum jab chaho aake donation de jayoge!" She became fire when Randhir looked at her shockingly.

"What are you saying Roja, you are my friend. Main tumhe koi charity case samajh kar donat karne nehi aaya hu!" He said surprisingly.

"Toh aur keya kar rahe ho tum? Pehele Peter ki treatment aur aab yeh job! Peter ke treatment ke liye main mana nehi kar payi but main yeh job nehi kar sakti." She said sternly.

"Tum mujhe galat samajh rahi ho Roja." Randhir said became hurt.

"Main tumhe bilkul sahi samajh raha hu Randhir." She said angrily. Hearing the noise granny also came out from her room.

"Keya huya?" She asked confusingly.

"Granny aap please isko jane ke liye bol dijiye, mujhe iska charity nehi chahiye." Roja said annoyingly.

"Granny aap isko boliye ke main koi charity nehi kar raha hu. Even I don't believe in charity." Randhir said angrily.

"Aakhir baat keya hain?" Granny said confusingly.

"Baat yeh hain ke bhai ne isse interview ke liye bulaya hain aur yeh charity....charity kiye jaa rahi hain. Jab ki main koi charity nehi kar raha hu!" Randhir said annoyingly.

"Achchha aur unhen kaise pata ke that I need a job? Jarur tumhine bola hoga!" She said irritatingly.

"Haan maine bola hain aur saath mein yeh vi bola hain ke tumhe sifarish bilkul nehi pasand, issi liye bro pehele tumhari interview lenge phir decided karenge ke tum job ke layek ho yeah nehi! And I think itna aapne dost ke liye karne ka right mujhe hain!" Randhir almost screamed when Roja kept mum.

"Tum sab ladkiya na bilkul ek jaisi ho! Always judgemental. Puri baat sune bina hi decision le leti ho. Samne walo ko kuch bolne ka mauka hi nehi dete! Okay jo marzi karo mujhe keya!" He shrugged his shoulders and about to go but stopped next.

"If possible toh interview ke liye chali jana, warna mera jaban khali jayega!" He said and left without waiting for her reply.

Roja was stood there numb when granny came closer to her.

"Monday ko chali jana interview ke liye." Granny said thus Roja looked at her confusingly.

"But granny!" She was confused.

"Usne itna kuch kiya hain humare Peter ke liye, aab yeh tumhara duty hain ke uska jaban khali na jaye!" Granny said.

"Jaban dene se pehele mujhse pucha tha keya, upor se kitna kuch suna kar geya! Ke main judgemental hu!" Roja frowned.

"So, it's his right Roja. Ek friend ka aapne friend ke upor haq. Aab tumhe decided karna hain ke tum aapne friend ki, uski di huyi jaban ki respect karti ho ke nehi!" Granny caressed her hairs. Roja think for a moment and took out her phone and dialled Randhir's number.

"Now what?" Randhir asked taking the call.

"Main monday ko interview ke liye pahuch jayungi." She replied sternly.

"Thank you very much. Anything else?" Randhir asked sarcastically.

"Yes am not judgemental, understand!" She snapped at him when Randhir chuckled.

"Yes of course. Kyu ki tum puri mental case ho!" And he bursted out into laugh.

"Shut up." Roja frowned.

"Okay baba sorry." He said.

"Am sorry too." She replied.

"It's okay." Randhir smiled.

"Sanyukta ko friendship ke liye pucha?" She asked suddenly.

"Nehi, time hi nehi mila." He replied.

"Haar waqt dusro ke piche time waste karoge toh khudko time kaise doge!" She said sarcastically.

"Wo keya hain na miss wo dusra koi aur nehi mera bestfriend hain, toh phir itna toh banta hain." He said thus Roja smiled brightly.

"Okay friend aab jau aur aapni wife ko time do, uska vi kuch rights hain." She said teasingly.

"Okay friend as you say. Good night." Randhir also said teasingly.

"Good night." And they hang the phone.

                             * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta was sitting on her bed and knitting a sweater for her baby when she heard a knock at the door. She look up and saw Arpita stood there.

"Aare Arpita aao na." Sanyukta forced a smile when Arpita entered.

"Ron kab wapas aayega pata hain tumhe? Mujhe usse kuch important baat karni hain." Arpita asked sternly.

"I really don't know Arpita. Wo Randhir ki friend ka bhai jo bimar hain aaj uska flight hain Singapore ke liye toh shayed late ho jayega." Sanyukta replied slowly.

"Yeh Ron ko dushra koi kaam nehi sivaye charity karne ki!" Arpita said gritted her teeth.

"Aaise kyu bol rahi ho Arpita! Randhir aagar kisika help kar raha hain toh iss mein bura hi keya hain?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Tum toh bolegi hi, cause you are not less than any charity case." Arpita said bitterly thus Sanyukta became shocked.

"Arpita maine keya kiya, tum aaise kyu bol rahi ho?" Sanyukta asked shockingly.

"Ohh please Sanyukta, please save it for other's. Yeh drama unke samne karna jinhone tumhara true colour nehi dekha! Waise toh sabke samne aaise behave karti ho jaise Ron ki kitni parwa hain tumhe aur pith piche usse punish karti ho!" Arpita spat out venom.

"Randhir khud punishment ke liye raazi huya tha." Sanyukta replied slowly.

"Haan kyu nehi, tumne usse majboor jo kiya. Itna guilty feel karwaya Ron ko uski family ke samne ke uske pass aur koi option hi nehi tha!" Arpita said bitterly.

"Ek toh tum aapna revenge pura karne ke liye Ron ko punish kar rahi ho upor se aapne selfish motives ke liye usse hi use kar rahi ho! Wonderful." Arpita said thus Sanyukta looked at her confusingly.

"Main Randhir ko use kar rahi hu wo vi aapne selfish motives ke liye!" Sanyukta asked shockingly.

"Aur nehi toh keya, jab dekho Randhir....Randhir karti raheti ho. Kabhi kachcha aam chahiye toh kabhi gulabjamun chahiye. Kabhi chocolate chahiye toh kabhi ice-cream. Aapni haar chhoti chhoti demand puri karne ke liye tum Randhir ko bolti ho jabke iss ghar mein itne naukar-chakar hain. 24*7 tum usse aapne ungli par nachate raheti ho. As if tumhare ghulaam hain wo. Aare jab tum Ron se itni nafrat karti ho toh phir dur raho na usse. Kyu uska jeena haram kar rakha hain aapni nonstop tantrums se?"

"Cause he is Sanyukta's husband and father of her unborn child too." Came a stern voice from behind. Both Arpita and Sanyukta looked there and saw Renuka stood there. Arpita gulped hard.

"Ji aunty main toh wo bass Sanyukta ko yeh bol rahi thi ke wo Ron ko jyada trouble na kare!" She mumbled slowly.

"First of all Arpita, Randhir Sanyukta ka husband hain koi stranger nehi. Aur aab jab Sanyukta maa banne wali hain toh phir usse pura haq hain aapne hone wale bachche ki papa se kabhi vi kuch vi demand karne ka. Hope you will understand that!" Renuka said slowly yet sharply.

"Ji aunty." Arpita said slowly.

"Aur phir iss waqt tum yeha keya kar rahi ho?" Renuka raised her brows.

"Wo main toh bass yeh puchne aayi thi ke Ron wapas kab aayega?" Arpita answered politely.

"Arpita tum toh Randhir ki bestfriend ho na, uski childhood friend. Toh tumhe itna nehi pata ke aaj usse aane mein late ho jayega!" Renuka said slowly yet steadily.

"Main keya karu aunty aajkaal toh Ron ke pass time hi nehi hain. Na mere liye aur nahi kisi aur ke liye." Arpita said purposely.

"Uska vi reason hain Arpita. Aab Randhir ki life ki priority Sanyukta aur uski baby hain. Others sab baad mein aate hain." Renuka smiled a little.

"Keya aap vi others mein aati hain aunty?" Arpita asked suddenly.

"Haan main vi." Renuka said after a pause.

"I think tumhe tumhara answer mill geya hain, now go to your room. Randhir ko aane mein late ho jayega toh phir tumhe usse jo vi baat karni hain kaal kar lena." Renuka said thus Arpita nodded and left the place. Renuka came inside and kept the juice on the table.

"Yeh tumhari davai lene ka time hain na?" Renuka asked thus Sanyukta nodded.

"Keya huya yeh khoobsurat sa chehera utra huya kyu hain?" Renuka smiled at her.

"Maa keya main Randhir ko bahut jyada trouble karti hu?" Sanyukta asked slowly.

"Nehi beta aare kaha tum Arpita ki baat sun kar dukhi ho rahi ho. Wo toh nasamajh hain par tum toh samajhdaar ho na." Renuka said caressing her hairs.

"Nehi maa kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hain ke main kuch jyada hi moody ho gayi hu. Ajeeb ajeeb demand karti hu!" Sanyukta said thoughtfully.

"Kaha beta, mere muqable mein toh tum bahut normal sa demand karti ho." Renuka said thus Sanyukta looked at her confusingly.

"Tumhe pata hain jab Rajveer paida hone wala tha tab main na Harsh se raat ke 3 baje aalu ke tikki banwati thi."

"Keya!" Sanyukta's eyes popped out.

"Papa banate thay?" She asked shockingly.

"Kyu nehi! Main toh Harsh ko yeh bol kar blackmail karti thi ke aagar main bhukhi rahi toh baby ke muh se humesha laal tapakta rahega." Renuka winked at Sanyukta and both ladies were bursted out into laugh.

"Maa aap toh bahut naughty thi!" Sanyukta giggled.

"Haan so toh hain. First baby, first time yeh sab bolke Harsh ko bahut blackmail karti thi, aur wo vi mera saara demand pura karta tha." Renuka said with a smile when suddenly Sanyukta's smile faded away.

"Keya huya Sanyukta, udas kyu ho geyi?" Renuka asked as she noticed a ting of sadness into Sanyukta's eyes.

"Maa yeh mera vi first baby hain." She said slowly.

"Haan toh?" Renuka asked confusingly.

"Maa haar koi aapne bachche se kitna pyar karta hain. Aur aagar wo pehela baby huya toh log khushi se pagal ho jata hain. Lekin maine..." She stopped and started sobbing. Renuka became confused.

"Keya huya Sanyukta, tumne keya?" Renuka asked when Sanyukta hugged her and hide own face into Renuka's chest.

"Maa wo maine....maine aapne bachche ko marne ka socha. I-I thought for an abortion." And she bursted out into tears.

"Wo jab mujhe aapne pregnancy ke ware mein pata chala I want an abortion. Pata nehi keya ho geya tha mujhe jo maine itni ghatiya baat sochi. Iss baat ke liye main kabhi aapne aap ko maaf nehi kar payungi." She cried continuously when Renuka caressed her back.

"Sshhhh, chup ho jau. Kuch nehi huya hain, sab thik hain." Renuka assured her.

"Nehi maa main aapne bachche ke ware mein aaisa soch vi kaise sakti hu? Aab jab wo iss duniya mein aayega toh phir main usse nazre kaise milayungi! Aur....aur aagar usse pata chalega ke uski maa usse paida hone se pehele hi marna chahati thi toh phir wo toh, wo toh mujhse nafrat karega na?" Sanyukta shivered in fear and hugged Renuka more tightly.

"Pata hain Sanyukta main aur Harsh nehi chahate thay ke Randhir paida ho." Renuka said suddenly thus Sanyukta became shocked. She broke the hug and looked at Renuka surprisingly.

"Haan meri third pregnancy unwanted thi. Main aur Harsh dono hi abortion karwana chahate thay." Renuka said slowly.

"Toh phir maa Randhir?" Sanyukta asked confusingly.

"Wo Harsh ki maa thodi purane khayelat ki thi, toh unhone saaf mana kar diya aur phir Randhir paida huya." Renuka stated the truth.

"Toh phir tum yeh baat aapne dil se nikal do ke tumne koi galti kiya hain yeah paap kiya hain. Dekho beta kabhi kabhi hum impulsive hoke wo sab bol dete hain jo hume nehi bolna chahiye lekin iska matlab yeh nehi ke we mean that. Dekho galti toh sabse hoti hain lekin waqt rahete jo aapni galti sudhar le wohi maafi ke layek hota hain."

"Toh phir mera baby vi mujhe maaf kar dega na?" Sanyukta asked hopefully.

"Sanyukta tumhara baby yeh realise kar sakta hain ke tum usse kitna pyar karti ho, aur uss realisation ke aage yeh sab baat koi maine nehi rakhta. Toh phir tum aapne dil se iss bojh ko nikal do." Renuka said when Sanyukta felt light. She felt the burden which she hide inside her since very long was finally left. And she take a relief of sigh.

                              * * * * * * * * *

Randhir came back at mansion and was about to go to his room when Renuka stopped him.

"Aaj phir late?" She eyed him.

"Sorry mom, wo ek bahut important kaam tha. Peter ka flight tha iss liye late ho geya. Kaal se time par aayunga, pakka promise." He said slowly.

"Look Randhir am happy ke tum kisi aur ki help kar rahe ho but I think tumhe aapni responsibility vi pata hona chahiye. Aapne pregnant wife ko chhod kar bahar jana aur itni raat ko wapas aana, it's not good." Renuka said sternly.

"Sorry mom, I won't repeat it." He said slowly.

"Upor se tum kuch dino ke liye Delhi vi jane wale ho, toh tab tak toh Sanyukta ke saath raho." Renuka stated firmly.

"Yes mom, I'll." He replied slowly.

"Okay jau, main tumhara dinner bhej deti hu."

"No mom, wo main dinner karke aaya hu." He replied hesitatingly.

"Friends ke saath toh humesha bahar jate ho. Kabhi club, kabhi party, kabhi dinner but aapne biwi ko leke gaye ho kabhi?" Renuka asked suddenly thus Randhir looked at her confusingly.

"Wo mom wo Sanyukta ne kabhi bola nehi." He said slowly.

"Tumne usse kabhi pucha?" Renuka asked thus Randhir nodded a no.

"Pata nehi tum responsible kab hoge! Aab jau aapne room mein." Renuka said thus Randhir nodded positively and went to their room.

Randhir entered at their room and saw Sanyukta was sleeping soundly. He saw her sleepy face and sighed in disappointment.

"Sorry, aaj phirse late ho geya." He said pushing a strand behind her ear and turned to go when someone hold his hand.

"You look cute when you apologised." A smile automatically came to his lips as he heard her teasing words.

"Ohh toh tum soyi nehi, jaag rahi thi?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Blame your aftershave hubby. Uski tez smell se meri neend tut geyi." She pouted.

"You know what you don't look cute when you made this face!" He teased her thus she frowned.

"Huhhhhh, main paida hi cute huyi thi. Samjhe!" She twisted her lips.

"Aur beautiful vi." He murmured under his breath.

"Kuch kaha keya?" She asked confusingly thus he nodded a no.

"Peter chala geya?" She asked and Randhir nodded positively.

"Haan. I hope jaldi se thik hoke wapas aah jaye." He said removing his coat and sat down on the sofa.

"Ufff such a tiring day." He take a sigh when Sanyukta forwarded a glass of water at him.

He take the glass and as Sanyukta was about to go he hold her hand. She looked at him confusingly when Randhir took out two cadbury silk chocolates from his pocket and forwarded those at her. Saw the chocolates Sanyukta remembered Arpita's words and her face got fall.

"Aare dekh keya rahi ho, lo!" He said when she nodded a no.

"Nehi mujhe nehi chahiye." She denied thus Randhir got shocked.

"Aare par kyu? Tumhe toh yeh pasand hain na?" He asked shockingly.

"I don't want to bother you anymore. Aagar mujhe kuch chahiye hoga toh main kisi aur ko bol dungi. Tumhe bother hone ki jarurat nehi hain." She said slowly when Randhir was shocked.

"Sanyukta what are you saying. Aare mujhe toh achchha lagta hain tumhare liye kuch karke. Khushi milti hain." He said when Sanyukta kept mum.

"Achchha kisine kuch bola hain keya?" He asked when Sanyukta still keep quiet.

"Sanyukta kuch pucha maine?" This time Randhir asked firmly thus Sanyukta shivered a little.

"Wo Arpita ko kyu lagta hain ke I'm always bothering you with my tantrums?" She gulped hard when Randhir looked at her confusingly.

"Aab phirse tum dono ke bich mein keya huya? Tum dono toh friends ho na?" Randhir asked when made her sit on the sofa.

"Mujhe vi lagta tha ke we are friends but the fact is she is your friend, only yours." Sanyukta said became hurt.

"Lagta hain someone is jealous!" Randhir said thus Sanyukta rolled her eyes.

"Huhhh, jealous my foot. Mujhe koi phadak nehi padta ke wo mujhe aapni dost samajhti hain ke nehi but jab dekho wo aake mujhe haar baat ke liye blame kyu karti hain?" She frowned dangerously.

"Maine kabhi tumhe kisi baat ke liye force nehi kiya, tumne khud hi yeh responsibility liya tha." And her eyes became moist. Randhir understand that it's her pregnancy hormones which made her cranky again.

He cupped her face and said, "Sanyukta....Sanyukta, tum roo kyu rahi ho maine tumhe kabhi kisi baat ke liye blame kiya hain keya?" He asked when she kept mum.

"Achchha thik hain main iss ware mein Arpi se baat karunga." Randhir assured her.

"Koi jarurat nehi hain. Phir toh wo kahegi ke maine uske khilaf tumhara kaan bhada hain." She sniffed in anger when Randhir sighed.

"Cat fight." He murmured under his breath.

"I hate cat aur main fight nehi karti, samjhe!" She glared at him thus he smiled.

"Toh aabhi mujhse kyu lad rahi ho!" He pouted thus her eyes became soften.

"Main nehi lad rahi hu, main toh bass bata rahi hu." She frowned.

"Aur waise vi tum raat ke 3 baje aalu tikki banane jaisa responsibility nehi nibha sakte, samjhe!" She twisted her lips when Randhir looked at her confusingly.

"Keya aalu tikki! Raat ke 3 baje! Matlab?" He was confused.

"Nothing, now go and take a shower. Tumhari body se hospital ka smell aah raha hain!" She said when he sighed to saw her time to time mood swings.

"Isse toh kab keya chahiye, khudko hi nehi pata! Thodi der pehele aftershave ki smell aah rahi thi aur aab hospital ki!" He shook his head in disappointment and went to the washroom.

He came out after taking the shower and saw her eating the chocolate like previous night. She was sitting on the bed circling her legs. Her hands and almost half of her face were covered with chocolate. He suddenly felt like tasting those chocolates like previous night but controlled himself. He tore down his gaze from her and came to his side.

He was seating on his side when she called him, "Randhir?" He looked at her.

"Wo mera haat phirse ganda ho geya!" She pouted showing her hands shimmered in chocolate when Randhir smirked at her.

"Koi baat nehi main saaf kar deta hu." He smirked naughtily looking at her when Sanyukta blushed hard realised what he exactly meant.

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

So the equation between Randhir and Sanyukta was changing slowly. Will Sanyukta accept Randhir wholeheartedly! To know stay tuned.
