Randhir caged her in his arms and covered their bodies properly

They just had a passionate love making and were exhausted and tired.

Sanyukta closed her eyes.

Randhir pecked her hair before closing eyes.

It was 3AM in the morning.

Where as in India it was 8:30 AM in the morning.

Randhir's phone buzzed.

Sanyukta's sleep got disturbed

"Randhir your phone is ringing...pick it up" She mumbled in sleep

"Randhir..." She tapped lightly on his bare chest

"Hmmm..." He responded

"Phone is ringing" She said

"Whose it now?" He moved a bit to grab his phone from corner table

He rubbed his eyes to see the name of caller.

"Dad..." He mumbled

He swiped the screen

"Hello Randhir" came Harsh's voice

"Dad..." He said

"Randhir...I...called you...for" Harsh fumbled

"What happened Dad?" Randhir got tensed a bit.

"Is Sanyukta with you?" Harsh asked

"Yes..." Randhir replied

"Please usko sambhalo...and come back to India" Harsh said

"What's wrong Dad" Randhir moved a bit.

Sanyukta's head touched the pillow.

Randhir covered her properly and got up wearing his trousers.

"Dad Kya hua hai?" Randhir said

"Randhir, Kishore got a severe heart attack last night...and...and he is no more" Harsh broke into tears

"What...?" This came like biggest shock for him

"Yes Randhir...he..is no more" "Please you both come back to India" "And...Sanyukta ko sambhalo Randhir...she needs you" Harsh said

Randhir turned to look at her

She was sleeping peacefully with that beautiful smile on her face

"Come soon Randhir" Harsh said and disconnected the call

Randhir's eyes welled up

"Sanyukta..." His heart cried

She lost his mother and now father too.

"How will I tell her now?" He thought

She will be broken

She will be devasted

"Why her?" "Why her god?" "Why she has to suffer so much?" "Kya galati hai uski" "Kyu ho raha yeh sab" "She don't deserve all this" "God...why her?" "Give all her pain to me..." "Give all her sorrows to me...and give my life and my happiness to her"

"Please...she shouldn't be at losing end"

Randhir mumbled

He booked their tickets and started packing their stuffs

He packed their bags.

And now it was time to wake her up and give this news to her.

He went to her and caress her hair

"Shona...baby wake up" He said in low and shaky voice

"Shona..." He said again

"Wake up.." He said

She opened her tiny eyes and rubbed them

She opened her arms indicating him to hug her.

"Shona not now...we are going back to India" Randhir sounded serious one

"India..." she got back clutching the blanket around her bare frame

"Yes Shona...." HE said

"But why...what happened?" "Are you still upset on that topic" "We had a plan of 10 days na...toh aab kya hua" She said

"We need to go back" Randhir's eyes became moist

"Is everything fine?" She asked

"Dad ka phone aaya tha..." Randhir's voice choked

"Ghar par sab thik hai na Randhir?" She asked

"Sanyukta...." He cupped her face

"You are scaring me...bolo na" she said

"Shona....Kishore uncle...woh..."

"What about Papa?" She said

"Shona...he got a heart attack last night...and...he is no more with us" Randhir said

He hugged her immediately

Sanyukta couldn't believe what she heard

Randhir hugged tightly

Sanyukta was stunned

She was broken

And on top of it...she wasn't reacting which made Randhir more worried for her

"Shona..." "Sanyukta..." He broke the hug

He quickly tied the blanket around her frame and cupped her face.

"Sanyukta..." He cupped her face and shake it

She wasn't responding

"Sanyukta...say something" "Say something...React" He shouted

But she didn't.

Her eyes welled up.

She looked somewhere.

Her eyes sticked to some where

She was lost.

"Sanyukta..." Randhir shake her shoulders

"Shona..." He shake her with force.

Sanyukta was still not reacting...

She was in shock

In Trauma.

Randhir hugged her again

He could feel her pain.

Her sorrows

But she has to react.

"Shona...please say something" He cried

But still she kept mum.

"Sanyukta..." He shouted again

He cupped her face and pecked her lips

"Say something..." He touched their foreheads

"Shona..." He cried cause she wasn't reacting.

She was in shock

"Papa...." the word slipped out from her mouth

Randhir cupped her face again.

"Papa..." She said and more tear rolled down her cheeks

"Shona..." He hugged her again.

She pushed him

"You are lieing...jhooth bol rahe ho tum" "Kuch nahi hua hai Papa ko..." She pulled his collars

"Shona...this is true...Papa...left us" Randhir said

"NOOOOOOOOOOO" She shouted

"He cannot leave me alone" "He will never leave me alone" "You are lieing..." "Mera papa ko kuch nahi hua...jhooth bol rahe tum..." She cried

"No Shona..." He cupped her face

"It's a lie jhooth bol rahe ho tum....this is...jhooth hai na Randhir..." She cried badly

She was broken now

Randhir hide her face in his arms

"Papa..." She cried

Randhir was in tears too.

He gave her time...to cry.

"I want to see him Randhir..." She said breaking hug after sometime

"We are going back to India right now" "Tickets are booked" "Lets go" He said

- - - - - -

After some hours they reached India

People had already gathered at Shekhawat's out house ( Kishore's house )

Randhir was holding Sanyukta's hand.

They entered inside.

Kishore's death body was kept in the middle of the hall.

"Papa..." She feel on her knees seeing her father...DEAD

She was broken. She was devasted
