Sanyukta is walking towards her room when she realizes she has left her phone in the lab, she slaps her forehead and turns around rushing towards the lab.

As she opens the door she hears sobs coming from inside

'Randhir' she panics and quickly opens the door and enters in, she looks around fanatically and finds Randhir sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, his one palm resting on his leg, the other holding his forehead. He is shaking and crying.

Sanyukta felt her heartbreak into many pieces, she rushes to him and kneels down beside him

'Randhir' she says

He continues to cry, she hugs him tightly, making him rest his head on her shoulder and held him tightly in her arms. She could feel her own eyes tear up, she can't see him so vulnerable.

'Randhir...Randhir' she says kissing his head and caressing his back, she could feel her shoulder getting wet with his tears.

'San...San...Sanyu... (Randhir takes a deep breath) I am a very bad person, bad son.... I didn't give my parents a .... second.... chance and now...I don't have them...' he says sobbing in her arms.

Sanyukta distances their frames and looks at Randhir, his condition is pathetic. His eyes swollen, nose red and puffy, his lips dry. What happened to him all of the sudden? At times she wonders if she is pregnant or he? Sanyukta holds his face in her palms and shakes him slightly

'What is wrong with you Randhir? You don't feel guilty...stop blaming yourself' she says, he jerks her hand

'You don't know how it feels to have this guilt.... guilt of not being there for your parents...guilt of not giving them a second chance (Randhir stands up) what if my...my kid...does the same...what if I mess up and my kid hates me...what if history repeats...I don't care about myself but I don't want my kid...my kid to go through the same guilt that I am going through...I miss my parents every day...every minute...' he says leaning against the wall breaking down again. Sanyukta now understand what is bothering him?

Sanyukta places her hand on his shoulder

'Randhir you will not mess up...and baby loves you...trust me' Sanyukta says

'How do you know?' Randhir asks

Sanyukta takes his hand and places it over her belly 'because every night baby talks to Mumma and says how much it loves daddy' Sanyukta says, she is making it all up but she hopes Randhir feels better hearing this

'It...it does' Randhir says, Sanyukta smiles nodding her head. Randhir looks at her belly and quickly wipes his tears with the back of his palms

'It can talk to me too?' Randhir asks

Sanyukta nods, glad that she is able to distract Randhir.

Randhir falls to his knees and places his hand on her belly and gently caresses it. He places his head there

'I can't hear anything...it's heartbeat?' he says frowning, he presses his head harder

'Randhir...how can you hear heartbeat now...it's too young' Sanyukta says

Randhir looks up at her 'then how did it talk to you?' Randhir asks

'Telepathy' Sanyukta answers, she makes him stand.

'Don't worry, you will be fine...you will be the best father...' Sanyukta says and kisses his cheek. Randhir looks little better now. Sanyukta gets him a glass of water, she caresses his hair as he drinks it, his throat was parched. Sanyukta looks at him lovingly

'Sanyukta...' Randhir says putting his glass down 'My parents...they forgive me na... I am really very sorry.' He says

Sanyukta simply holds his hand and stands up 'Where are we going?' he asks curiously

'Just come' she says tugging on his arms.

Randhir doesn't protest and lets her take him

Sanyukta leads him to the terrace, Randhir follows clueless. She takes him near the railing. She leaves his hand and points up towards the night sky, they are two bright twinkling stars. Randhir looks at the direction she is pointing at. Randhir looks at her still clueless

'See your parents are looking at you and smiling...there are so happy' Sanyukta says

Randhir looks at her 'Sanyukta, you are a scientist and you think they are...come on ya...' Randhir says sounding skeptical

'I don't care about science and all...see they are twinkling so brightly...they are so happy and see they are together' Sanyukta says placing her hand on his chin and making him look up but Randhir is being adamant. She pinches his cheeks with her fingers and makes him look up at the stars.

Two brightly shining stars, it did make him feel better to think that his parents are watching over him and are happy

'Do you really think so?' he asks looking at her

Sanyukta nods. He looks up again

'Sanyukta, you must be tried you go sleep...' he says not looking at her but at the stars. Sanyukta smiles, she knows he needs some alone time. She goes to kiss his cheek but just then Randhir turns to say something and their lips touch. Their eyes widen, but they didn't back off, they stood there looking into their eyes, their lips touching. Sanyukta closes her eyes and Randhir does the same, they begin to kiss each other. Randhir feels all his insecurity go away, Sanyukta feels her stomach perform a cartwheel, it's not the first time they are kissing but the spark that Sanyukta is feeling is as fresh as their first kiss.

Randhir places his hand on her waist and pulls her closer, Sanyukta places her feet over his and places her hands on his arms. Their kiss deepens, they continue to kiss each other under the clear night sky.

3 weeks later, City hospital

Randhir and Sanyukta are called in for the check-up. The Doctor smiles warmly at them as they enter.

'So...first time parents to be...nervous?' she says looking at Randhir, he feels embarrassed and looks away. Randhir takes his seat as the doctor leads Sanyukta behind the curtain. Randhir is fidgeting with his fingers, tension building up inside him

'Mr. Shekawat...come here...you have a surprise' the doctor calls after a while and Randhir felt his heart jump to his throat.

Surprise? He wonders

He takes slow steps and peeps in from behind the curtain, Sanyukta is laying there with her belly exposed and the gel spread all over, the doctor is standing next to her with the machine pressed to her belly.

Randhir gulps

'There see...' the doctor says pointing at the screen, Randhir tilts his head sideways and looks at the screen. Before he could comprehend anything the doctor announces

'Congratulations...you are having twins'

Randhir's jaw drop, he covers his mouth with his palm and looks up at Sanyukta. Her eyes moist and a bright smile on her lips.

'now if you excuse me' the doctors say and leaves to give them some private time together. As the doctor leaves Randhir drops to his knees, his hand holding the edge of the bed. Sanyukta tilts her head resting it on the wall and begins to cry, tears of joy escaping her eyes.

Randhir couldn't control his tears either. Neither of them is able to control their emotions and their happiness pouring out through their eyes in the form tears.

Randhir manages to stand and looks at the screen

He could clearly see two fetuses; he is going to have twins...twins...he is going to be a father of two.

He turns around and hugs Sanyukta tight, she hugs him back

'I am so happy' Randhir says, his voice quivering

'Doc-Doctor...sa...sai...said...we...can...can...hear our babies...heart...beat' Sanyukta says, her voice shaking. Their happiness means no bound, they feel elated.

'I love you' Randhir whispers kissing top of her head

'I love you too' Sanyukta says pressing her face into his neck, holding onto him as tightly as she can.

The Doctor gives them diet chat and asked them to continue with the multivitamins. They leave the cabin happily holding their hands.

'Randhir...don't you think managing twins will be difficult' Sanyukta says softly as Randhir sits on his bike. Randhir holds her hand with one hand while he places his other palm on her cheek

'Relax, we will do this together' he says lovingly, Sanyukta hesitantly nods. She sits behind him and Randhir starts his bike.

Sanyukta was really excited minutes ago but now suddenly she feels worried, how will she manage everything? Mars mission...twins...

'Randhir...'she says holding her forehead with one hand as Randhir speeds his bike

'What happened, Sanyukta?' he asks tilting his head little and then turns his attention towards the road

'I...I...am not...feeling...well...'she says feeling slightly giddy.

'Sanyukta!'

Randhir parks his bike to the side of the road, Sanyukta is on the verge of fainting. Randhir looks around and luckily he finds a small stall, he gets a water bottle for her.

'Sanyukta....'he calls sprinkling some water over her face, she slowly opens her eyes. Randhir is relieved and hugs her.

'Sorry...I am just stressed' she says softly

'Why are you worrying so much? I told you everything will be fine; can't you trust me' Randhir says annoyed.

He helps her sit on the bike properly 'will you be able to sit?' Randhir asks

She nods. Randhir sits, Sanyukta moves closer and wraps her arms around his waist and rests her head on his back. Randhir rides the bike slowly and as smoothly as he could, he feels her relax behind him.

ISRC boy's room

'Guys...'Randhir comes into the room and calls out to his friends excitedly. Joy, Sumit, and Arjun drop everything that they were doing and looks up at Randhir. He places his hand over his chest and closes his eyes trying to steady his breath.

Sumit gets him water, Randhir sits at the edge of his bed and takes a sip of water.

'What happened?' Joy asks curiously

Randhir stands up, he is hardly able to control his excitement 'Guys...I am having twins...'he announces with a wide smile

Everyone stood still for a moment trying to soak in the news

'Abbey...kitna excited tha yaar tu uss raat?' Arjun teases him, Randhir glares at him while Joy and Sumit burst out laughing.

'You should thank God that I am in a good mood else you would have been dead' Randhir says strangely he doesn't feel angry or annoyed with the boys teasing him, he is too happy and excited to care.
