Chapter 17

Sanyukta wanted to pinch herself and wake up from this nightmare. Randhir looked furious, his face red with anger.

'Hey Bro' Rehan says with his characteristic grin. Sanyukta turns and glares at Rehan wanting to just slap him.

Rehan walks up to Randhir, he looks at him smiling while Randhir is just glaring angrily.

'Why are you so angry, Bro? You are always angry...' Rehan says placing an arm around Randhir. Sanyukta is standing there trembling with fear, God knows how Randhir will react now. He is silent and it is nothing but calmness before the storm.

'Now you should laugh more often after all you are going to welcome a new member to our family.' Rehan goes on

Sanyukta wanted to hold Randhir's hand and drag him out of here before Randhir gets any angrier.

'I am very happy and excited, after all I am going to be a Chacha...Yaay' he says pretending to sound happy.

Randhir looks at Rehan for few seconds before turning his gaze on Sanyukta's quivering figure. She is sweating by now.

Randhir jerks Rehan's arm off him and walks towards Sanyukta, his pace deadly slow. She gulps as he grabs her wrist.

Without any other word he tugs her arm dragging her out the cabin, Rehan just looks on smiling.

Their bike ride back to ISRC was silent, Sanyukta hoped he would calm down but she was mistaken. Randhir parks his bike and gets down, without sparing a glance at Sanyukta he walks away.

Sanyukta feels disappointed.

Randhir is beyond angry. He is very upset with Sanyukta, how can she not inform him and go there? It could have been dangerous, what if something had happened to her and their babies? She should have known Rehan would have been there, what if he did something to her? Has she forgotten that he had kidnapped her once and almost killed her? Rehan still hates Randhir and she just went there knowing very well that he wouldn't have just hurt her but also the babies. How can she be so careless?

'Randhir...Randhir...' Sanyukta calls from behind him, she is having a hard time catching up with him. Randhir doesn't even turn around to look at her and continues to walk away from her. The first thing he does after he comes into his room is attacking his punching bag, punching it ruthlessly. Sanyukta pauses at the door looking at him bashing the punching bag, she gulps. If she goes to him now then she will be the one hanging there and being punched instead of the punching bag, nevertheless, she goes in.

Without thinking further, she hugs him tightly from behind and Randhir stops.

'I am sorry...I am really sorry' she apologizes; her eyes begin to fill with tears. Randhir places his hand over hers and roughly jerks her hands off him. He turns around and glares at her.

'Please Randhir talk to me...scold me...punish me...do anything but please (she cups his face in her palms) talk to me.... I am sorry...I know I should have informed you but then I didn't want you to get upset' she sobs, she leans and places her forehead over his.

Randhir jerks her hands and holds her arms tightly, Sanyukta winces but doesn't remove her gaze from his

'You...You knew Rehan will be there. Still, you went there alone.... because you didn't want me to be upset? Suddenly my mood has become more important than the safety of you and our babies' he says bringing her closer to him. Sanyukta squeezes her eyes tight wincing in pain as his nails dig into her soft skin.

Randhir leaves her and she stumbles few steps back, he turns around 'please leave before I do something I will regret later' he says shaking his head in anger.

'Randhir.... I...I....am sorry' Sanyukta tries again, she wants him to calm down and forgive her. Randhir turns around and glares at her placing his hand on his hips. Sanyukta looks down feeling ashamed. Randhir pushes past her. Sanyukta loses her balance and falls back; her back hitting the wall

'Ahh...' She winces holding her tiny baby bump.

Randhir stops at the door and turns around. He feels his heart stop for a moment as he sees Sanyukta kneeling down on the ground holding her belly.

'Sanyukta...'he panics and rushes towards her, he places his hands around her arms and tries to make her stand but she pushes him

'Don't you dare touch me...' she snaps at him angrily. She places her hand on the wall and helps herself stand.

Randhir feels guilty, he shouldn't have pushed her, what if something serious had happened. But then seeing his mood she shouldn't have been here, it's her fault. His expression changes to a stern one

'You shouldn't have come here....'he says angrily

Sanyukta glares at him 'You are right; I shouldn't have bothered coming here to see if you're okay nor should I have cared about you and your mood... you are not important to me more than my babies' Sanyukta says annoyed. She had always kept Randhir over her babies because she loves him a lot and is grateful to him to have given her this beautiful gift, but today in his anger he almost caused a serious damage to her babies and being a mother it made her very angry. Sanyukta pushes Randhir and leaves the room. Randhir frowns and angrily punches the wall next to him.

*

Randhir storms into the retro bar, at first he was angry because of Sanyukta but now he is angry on himself. How can he be so reckless? How can he push her? what if his babies would have got seriously hurt.

Randhir gets himself a drink from the counter.

Few drinks down he is really drunk, but that didn't stop him. He wanted to drown his anger and guilt in these glasses of wine.

Sanaya walks into the bar and notices a visibly drunk Randhir gulping drink after drink. Sanaya gets worried and walks towards him.

'Randhir...'she places her hand on his shoulder and looks at him concerned, she can't see her best friend drown himself in alcohol. She hopes he tells her what happened?

Randhir turns his head sideways and sees Sanaya, he frowns and jerks her hand off his shoulder. He looks up at her, clearly looking tipsy. Sanaya looks at him with a worried expression, he brings the glass towards his lips when Sanaya holds his hand

'Randhir...enough...how much will you drink? Please stop' she says trying to snatch his glass from him, but Randhir is stronger and so he forcefully moves her hand away. Sanaya winces

'Oh...I am sorry...Sanaya.... see...I am...so dangerous.... I...am bad person...stay away' he slurs and places his half-drunk glass back on the table. He pours some more wine.

Before he could bring it to his lips, Sanaya takes the glass and smashes it on the floor.

'What the...'Randhir says looking stunned. Sanaya grabs his collar and makes him stand.

'What are you doing?' he says having tough time standing on his feet.

'Sheku...shut up....'Sanaya says angrily and push him against the counter, he holds the counter for support.

'Enough of your drama...I saw Sanyukta come in the room crying. Have you no shame making your pregnant wife cry' she says, her voice raised

Randhir looks around, many people are looking at them.

'Do...Don't speak with me in...this...tone' he says stumbling on his feet but Sanaya was least bothered

'Don't say a word else I will slap you' she says sternly

Randhir is surprised by the way she is speaking to him

'Stop crying like a girl and go apologize to her Abhi...else you will have it from me' Sanaya warns him pointing an index finger at him. Randhir felt threatened but he knew what Sanaya said is true. He misbehaved with Sanyukta and has hurt her a lot, he needs to apologize.

Half an hour later, ISRC, girl's room

Slowly Randhir opens the door making sure no one is disturbed. Sanaya had said that she will keep the door slightly open so that he could come without climbing window. Randhir tiptoes, he is still tipsy and almost fell over Sanaya's bed on the floor. As he reaches Sanyukta's room he falls down on his knees beside her, he then bends down

'I... I...am sorry...I am sorry...'he chants holding onto her legs tightly. He stays at her feet for a while chanting sorry. He sniffles rubbing his nose with the back of his hand, he shifts towards her face. She is fast asleep.

Randhir notices her puffy eyes and tears stained cheeks making his heart pinch with pain, he feels terrible.

His hand trembles as he holds her hand, he takes her hand with at most care like she is made of glass.

'I...I...am sorry' he says moving his hand he caresses her hair and face gently looking at her lovingly.

'I don't know why I always let my anger over power me...and hurt you.... I have hurt them too...they must be hating me, Na' he says holding her palm in both of his, he glances at her baby bump and feels guiltier recollecting how he had pushed her and had hurt them. He places his palm on her belly, his vision blurred with tears heavily clogging his eyes.

'Daddy is such a jerk, right? You both must be hating me right? But please don't hate me...Daddy loves you both and loves your mummy as well but...but...don't know why Daddy's hot temper always gets the better of him...but that is not the real side of Daddy...Daddy is sorry...Daddy is sorry....my babies...please forgive your daddy...?' he says and leans in to kiss her baby bump but stops. No, he will not, he doesn't deserve to... He moves back, tears streaming from his eyes.

Slowly he looks up at Sanyukta's sleeping figure, he sighs sadly

'Please forgive me...Sanyukta. I love you, I really do. You went there without informing me so that I don't get upset. You love me so much and me? I don't know what happened to me when I saw Rehan there and that too with you alone.... I got scared that...he...might... hurt you and our babies (He shudders on thinking of that possibility) I feel so ashamed to even face you that's why I came here in the dark like a thief. But please forgive me... (Randhir gulps a lump formed in his throat) I love you...Sanyukta...I really love you' he says, his lips trembling as he leans and kiss her forehead.

Randhir struggles as he tries to put the key in his bike, his vision blurred and hands trembling with the effect of alcohol and crying. He somehow manages to start his bike, he doesn't bother wearing his helmet and starts to drive is bike into the darkness.

It is raining heavily and the road is wet, but Randhir couldn't care less. He accelerated his bike in speed remembering the incident from the morning. How can he be so reckless? He was angry at Sanyukta; someone he claims to be madly in love with. Then why did he hurt her? because of his anger? is his anger more important than Sanyukta? He could have lost his babies, what would he have done if that happened. Thinking about everything, Randhir increased the speed.

Randhir notices strong light from headlights coming ahead of him, it seems to be a large vehicle. Because of alcohol, Randhir couldn't judge properly, he turns his bike. Due to the slippery road and high speed, his bike skids.

Randhir is thrown off his bike, while his bike goes smashing into a nearby tree. The truck stops and the driver climbs down.

'Bhaiya...Kya Hua?' his co-driver climbs down as well, both looking worried.

They walk towards where Randhir is lying lifelessly, his arms spread and legs slightly twisted, his eyes looking upwards and blood oozing from behind his head

'Is he dead?' the co-driver asks shivering looking at the driver. Randhir feels numb, is this his end? Maybe it is? As he lay there he could see Sanyukta's smiling face before his eyes and a small smile appears on his lips. Slowly he feels his eyelids closing and then everything goes dark.

"The number you are trying to reach is currently not reachable," a robotic female voice says from the other side, this the 20th time Sanyukta receives the same answer as she tries dialing Randhir's number. She is now very scared; her heart beating rapidly with fear.
