Vidushi heard a knock on the door

She opened it and found Parth standing at the door

"Yes" she said

"Hi I am Parth...I am Randhir's friend"

"I want to talk you"

"Please can I come inside"

Vidushi was not so pleased by this

Still she let him come inside

"From where did you get my address"

Vidushi asked

"I got your reference and your address from college"

"I went to college today"

"There I came to know you and Sanyukta were very good friends"

"I want to know where is Sanyukta?"

Parth said

"I don't know where she is"

"Last time I met her was on her father's funeral"

Vidushi said

"Hmmm...are you sure?" Parth inquired

"Why would I lie?" Vidushi counter back

"When did I say you are lieing" Parth said

Vidushi bite her lips

"Let me tell you one thing"

"Randhir's condition is very bad"

"He is into depression...and he might lose his meantal stability"

"I really want to meet Sanyukta and let know about this"

"Doctors are trying there best since last 6 months"

"There is no improvemnent in Randhir's condition since last 6 months"

"Please Vidushi...tell me where she is?"

"I no you have some idea about it"

"A little help from you can help Randhir"

Parth explained her

"I don't know where she is Parth"

vidushi said

"Okay...do you know anything about her relatives"

Parth said

"I don't know"

Vidushi replied blankly

"Vidushi please I need you help"

"Please help me out"

"Randhir..is in ver bad condition"

"Please..."

Parth said

"After whatever he did...he deserves this"

Vidushi said

"don't say this"

"He is in very bad condition"

"Only Sanyukta can cure him"

"Please Viduhsi"

"I beg of you"

"If you are a true friend of Sanyukta"

"Help me"

"Aur jab Sanyukta ko yeh pata chalega...ki tumne Randhir ki condition jante hue usse nahi bataya toh she will be sad"

"Please"

Parth requested

"She might be with her Masi"

Vidushi spoke

"Masi?" "Where?" Parth asked

"I am not sure but her masi is the only relative about which Sanyukta use to talk about"

Vidushi said

"Ohh I see.." "Do you know anything about her masi?" Parth asked

"Not much"

"She is Sanyukta's mother's cousin sister"

"She lives in Dehradun"

Vidushi said

"Dehradum" Parth mumbled

"Thanks Vidushi"

"You were a great help"

Parth said

"Dehradun" Harsh said

"Yes uncle...there is a possibility"

"Sanyukta might be in Dehradun"

Parth said

"As far as I know...Kishore never talked about his relatives"

"So I don't have any idea about it"

"But if this is true...if Sanyukta is in Dehradun"

"We should go and check"

Harsh said

"I am leaving for Dehradun uncle"

"I will bring her back"

Parth said

"I am coming with you"

Harsh said

"Sure..." Parth agreed

Harsh informed Dadi and Renuka about this.

Both the ladies were hopeful.

Renuka was with Randhir taking care of him while Dadi sat in front of mandir chanting some mantras and praying god.

After some hours of journey they reached Dehradun

Parth booked hotel room for them

It was quite late at night so they decided to search for Sanyukta in morning

"I hope Sanyukta mil jaye"

"hum kaha dundhenge usse"

Harsh said

"Don't worry uncle will find her"

"idhar tak aagaye toh usse dundh bhi lenge"

Parth said

"I am worried for Randhir"

Harsh broke down

"He will be fine soon"

"Don't lose hopes uncle"

Parth said

Sanyukta was resting in her room.

Nirmala came to see her.

She went and sat beside Sanyukta.

"Are you fine?" Nirmala said caressing her hair

"Yes Masi..." She chirped

Nirmala placed her palm on Sanyukta's belly.

"Muje toh ladka lag raha hai" Nirmala chirped caressing her baby bump.

"Kaise pata?" "Guess..?" Sanyukta said

"You crave for spicy food, tikha tikha khane ka maan karta hai" "I have marked the growth of baby bump...it looks perfect round and is carrying low"  "Down side..." Nirmala chirped happily

"Really?" "How do you know that?" "Koi logic ya scientific reason" She said

"Not really...but in ancient time...people use to believe and follow this tips" "But now...medical science is so advance...that you get to know it quickly and results are correct and accurate" Nirmala said

"Chalo..you take rest now" "Good Night...." Nirmala said and left.

Sanyukta was in thoughts.

"Really...is it a baby boy?" She asked herself.

"Randhir will be so happy...if...it..." She stopped in the middle

"Why Am I thinking about him?" She cursed herself

Her eyes brimmed with tears.

She wiped them immediately.

"Why are you not with me?" "I need you Randhir...." "I need you..." She cried

"Main akele nahi kar sakti....I need you" She mumbled

"I want you to hug me...whenever I feel...dizzy and restless"

"I want you to kiss me... on forehead when...my back pains...or when I feel pain in belly....and say..."Shona....sab thik hoga...we are together in this" " "Randhir..." 

"I want you to...click my pics of my belly...like husbands do when their wives are pregnant"

"I want you to hold my hand...when I walk" 

"I want you to wake in middle of night and fulfill each of my cravings"

"I want you to kiss...me...first and then our baby"

"I want you by my side...when I go for sonography test...and we together...will see our baby"

"I need you Randhir...."

"I need you..."

"I miss you..."

"The day when I get to know about our baby....main daud ke tumhare paas aana chahti thi" "But...nahi aayi...." "Gussa thi tumse" "Bohot gussa..." "But...there is not a single day...I have not missed you"

"When I see...pregnant ladies coming with their husbands to the hospital ...I feel bad" 

"You know....humne humari first wedding anniversary bhi miss kar di" "But you know uss din kya hua..." "Uss din...I went to hospital for check up...when doctor told me that our baby is very healthy...and sound" "4 months...." "I was 4 months pregnant that time" "That day I thought I will give you a call....par nahi kar payi" "I know Randhir....you'll be very happy knowing about our baby...but...tumhe yeh bhi lagega ki main kitni selfish hu" "Ha hu...main selfish" "I am selfish...because I don't want to lose my baby..." "I have nothing to lose....I just have our baby with me" "I don't want to lose it...."

She sobbed.

 Soon sleep occupied her senses and she was in deep slumber
