"Myra..." She said

"Hmm..." He replied

"What was she saying?" She asked

"She wants to meet me...but I denied" He said

Sanyukta looked away.

There was a minute silence between them

"You should go and meet her Randhir" Sanyukta said

"What?" Randhir reacted in shock

"Yes I mean...it's okay..." "You should meet her" "She is your friend" Sanyukta said

"She is not my friend Sanyukta.." "She is nothing to me" Randhir said

"But..for her you...are something" Sanyukta said

"What are you saying?" "I am not able to understand" Randhir said

"Randhir...she...called you today" "Means...she...she misses...you" "May be...feels for you" "After 6 years...she called you and wants to meet you" "I think you should go and meet her Randhir" "As a friend...she may require your help" Sanyukta said

"You know what Sanyukta...tumhe lagta hai sari duniya tumhare jaise aachi hai" "You are too good...toh tumhe lagta hai log bhi tumhare tarah aache hai" "Please Shona...you need to be little alert" "I am really afraid for you sometimes" Randhir said

"I don't know Randhir...but.."

"I am not going to meet her" "That's final" "We have reunion party to attend...tab milunga usse" "That's it...no more discussion on this" Randhir made it very clear

Sanyukta kept mum

Some hours passed like this

SanDhir spent day in hotel

They took much needed rest

Randhir was little annoyed with their morning conversation.

Sanyukta gave him time to compose himself

"Randhir...I am hungry" She said to grab your attention

"We will order something" He said

"Itna gussa kyu karte ho" She came from back and hugged him

"I am not gussa..." He said

"Yeah Right..." "For the whole day...tum aaise muh phula ke bethe the" She said

"Tum baat hi aaisi karti ho" He said

"Offo! You are still there" "Main toh bhul bhi gayi" She said

She forcefully made him turn and face her

She locked her hands around his neck

"I trust you" "I have full faith in your love for me" "You know why I said it...cause I am very confident about you and our love"

She said and he looked at her

"And I am not like those typical wives" "Who keeps a watch on their husband" "I love you...and I trust our love" She said

"Why I asked you to meet her...is...for you only" "I have noticed it Randhir...whenver we talk about her you get restless" "You get disturbed" "I understand why you feel so...because of me" "But...I understand" "I know what past you had with Myra.." "I don't have any problem with that...because I know you are mine now" "I wanted you to meet her...because you will feel relief from the stress and restlessness" "Go and meet her...and tell her...about us...encourage her to make her life better" "If she doesn't have someone in her life...search for a right guy" "Move on in life...which I know she hasn't yet" "And only you can do this Randhir..." "You have spent time with her...you know how she is...and what kind of life partner she needs" "Only you can make her realize..." "Give her our example..."She will feel good..." Sanyukta said

"You are unbelievable Sanyukta..." "I swear..." Randhir taunted her

"Don't try to change the topic" She said

"I am not going to meet her Sanyukta..." He said

"You will meet her...FOR ME" She said

"This is not done...this is unfair..." "Tum aaisa nahi kar sakti" He said

"Randhir...FOR ME...FOR US" She said

"You...nahi manogi tum" He said

She nodded in NO

"Okay...we will go...but you have to come with me" He said

"What?" "No...How can I come" "She will get nervous in front of me" She said

"I don't know anything...you have to come with me" He said

"Randhir...understand...It's my 2nd day...I am in pain" "Please..."

she said

"No Shona....you have to come" He said

"Please Randhir..." She made an innocent face

"Okay..." Randhir said in defeat

- - - - - -

Randhir dressed himself in pair of jeans, white shirt and a jacket.

"Handsome..." Sanyukta commented from back

"I know right..." "I am..." He winked

"All the best..." She said

"Yeah...I need it" "I am actually feeling like I am going on a war" He said

She giggled

"Talk to her nicely...okay" "Aur jaldi aana" She said

He came and kissed her forehead

"I will come soon..." "But you take care...lock the door properly" He said

"Hmmm...bye..." She sai

"I love only you..." He pecked her lips

"I know...I love you too.." She said

Myra was waiting for Randhir in cafeteria

Randhir reached there a little late

Myra stood up as soon as...she saw Randhir.

"Hi..." He said

She was about to hug him but he took a step backward

Myra...stopped

"Hi RD" She said

They both got settled on their respective chairs

"So...you still have habit of coming late" Myra said

"Hmm...my wife Sanyukta was preparing me to meet you" "That's why I got late" He said

Myra's face welcomed a frown

"Can we talk about us?" She said

"Us?" He said

"Myra...let me come straight to the point...I am happily married now" "I am very happy with Sanyukta" "I love her" "She is my everything" "And honestly...I would have never come to meet you...it was Sanyukta who actually forced me to come and meet you" "I am happy...I have moved ahead in life" "I want you to do the same" Randhir said

"You are so much changed RD" Myra said

"Yes...Sanyukta's love changed me...made me a better person" He said

"Hmmm...." Myra said

"How's your life?" Randhir said

"I am alone...I broke up with Scott...after 4 years" she said

"Why?" Randhir asked

"Cause...he is not what I want" "He was not Randhir" "It's then I realized...that I have lost you" "That was biggest mistake of my life" "I searched you in Scott..." "I thought I will rectify my mistake...but...you are not there anymore" "You moved ahead" She said

"Myra...there was nothing between us" Randhir said

"I know Randhir...but...the time we spent together was best time of my life" "I know...our relationship was never a serious one" "But...I wish...we were still together" "Sayad hume ek dusre se pyaar hojata" Myra said

"Love doesn't see time...woh hojata hai" "If 1.5 years of our relationship...couldn't make us fall in love...toh...you know...it was never going to happen" "And with Sanyukta...I didn't even realize...but we were connected to each other" "Since our childhood..." "She used to be right in front of me...but...still..." "Our marriage is best thing happened to us..." "It has given us most precious thing of our life...LOVE" he said

Myra was not liking the way Randhir was only talking about Sanyukta.

"Yeah...Right" Myra said

"Myra...please don't stop and move ahead in life" "Open your eyes and search for someone...who will love you selflessly..the way you are" "Everyone needs love...wants love in life" "A person...who is just for you" "Please Myra...don't spoil you life like this" He said

"And why are you saying this"?" Myra said

"As a friend..." "You know what Sanyukta told me..." "She said...only I can make you realize this thing" He said

"Yeah...Sanyukta..." "You were never like this RD" "Sanyukta has totally taken a control of your life" She laughed

"Like...what will you say,what will you wear,whom to talk, whom not to talk, sab wahi decide karti hai" "You have became a puppet..." Myra said

"I don't care what you think...its you who wanted to meet me" "And I don't think whatever I said is wrong" "Don't waste your time on me Myra..." Randhir said

Myra looked away.

"I love Sanyukta...and...I am happy with her" He said and got up from the seat

"Bye...Take care" Randhir said and left

Myra clutched the glass tightly in her hand.
