Next Morning

Harsh and Parth set out in search of Sanyukta.

Luckily...Sanyukta has a doctor appointment today.

Nirmala is accompanying her to the hospital.

"Reports are normal" "Baby's growth is fine" "There are no complications in your pregnancy" "Just take enough amount of liquids in body" "Juices, water" Doctor advise.

"Sure doctor" Sanyukta chirped

"I really want to meet your husband Sanyukta" I don't understand how can he be so careless about his child"" "Just see...how every pregnant woman in hospital comes with her husband for check ups and sono test" "Not even for once did baby's father accompany you the hospital" "What's the matter?" Doctor said

"Doctor...as I told you...my baby's father is...is out of country" "He works there" "But he will come soon" Sanyukta said

"Is work this important?" Doctor said

Sanyukta felt bad hearing that.

"Anyways...still there are 3 months left" "I really want to meet and update your husband about your pregnancy" "Take care" Doctor said

"Why did you lie?" Nirmala asked

"Then what should I say" Sanyukta slowly sat in the taxi

"You could have told her...that you and your husband are not together anymore" Nirmala said

"Then she would have asked further question" "Are we divorced?" "To avoid those questions maine unse jhooth bola" Sanyukta said

"It is kind of divorce only" Nirmala said

"But we are not divorced " Sanyukta replied back

"It will never happen" Nirmala replied back with a smile

Parth was searching for Sanyukta.

He came near the hospital locality.

He inquired about Sanyukta to few people.

He was tired and exhausted now.

But he is man on mission.

He needs to find out Sanyukta as soon as possible.

Parth was sipping water when his eyes fell on Sanyukta.

She was in taxi.

There was other lady with her.

The taxi left the place in few seconds.

It took few seconds for Parth to register the thing.

"Yes...she was Sanyukta" Parth confirmed

"Sanyukta..." She shouted but the taxi was gone

"Sanyukta in hospital" Parth thought

He quickly informed Harsh about it.

Harsh came there and joined Parth

"I just saw Sanyukta here" "She was in taxi with a lady" "May be with her Masi" "I think she came out of hospital" Parth said

"Hospital" "But...how?" Harsh said

"Lets inquire" Parth said

Parth and Harsh went inside

"Hello...Can I get some information about patient name Sanyukta Shekhawat" Parth said

"Sorry...we cannot share patient's information" the lady at reception said

"Please...its urgent" "Help me..." "I just want her address" Parth said

"She is my daughter in law" "Aab toh aap denge?" harsh requested

"Okay..please note down the address" the lady said

"Can you please tell me why...did she come to hospital" Harsh asked

"She came her for routine check up" "Because she is pregnant" The lady said

Harsh beam in happiness

Parth was happy to hear that

Sanyukta was alone at home while Nirmala was out for some work

The door knocked

Sanyukta with much difficulty stood up to open the door

She took small steps towards the door.

She opened the door and found Parth and Harsh standing there

She was stunned

- - - - - -

Sanyukta turned her back to them

"Sanyukta..." harsh said

"Bade Papa how did you get address and why are you here?" Sanyukta said

"Sanyukta...for once please listen to us" Harsh said

"I don't want to talk" Sanyukta said

"Sanyukta don't do this" Harsh requested

"Bade Papa...I still have respect for you" "But..please...I don't want to talk about Randhir" She said

"You have to listen to us Sanyukta Bhabhi" parth said

"I don't want to talk about him Parth" "He is a liar..." "He...he hide the truth from me" "He killed..."

"Enough Sanyukta" Parth shouted

"Stop blaming him now" "For god sake..." "Please" Parth said

"He is critical" "His condition is not good" Parth said

Sanyukta turned immediately

"Woh depression main hai" "Aagar tum nahi aayi waha...toh we will lose him" Parth said

Tears started flowing from her eyes

"Kya hua hai Randhir ko?" She cried pulling Parth's collars

"He is into depression" "The day you left...him" "He slipped into depression" "Woh kuch bolta nahi hai" "Sirf tumhara naam leta hai" "He is in miserable condition Sanyukta and only you can cure him" "All treatments and medicines have failed""Aagar kuch kiya nahi toh uska mental balance kharab ho sakta hai" Parth said

Sanyukta lost her balance hearing that.

She was about to fall but Parth saved her.

"Please...Sanyukta..come with us" "Please save Randhir..." Harsh begged in front of her

"Bade Papa..." She looked at Harsh

"I want to see Randhir" Sanyukta started crying

"Muje uske paas jaana hai" "Please le chaliye" She cried

"Yes beta...we are here to take you with us" Harsh caressed her head

"You know...he will be so happy...to know about the baby" Harsh said

Sanyukta kept her palm on her belly

She closed her eyes and all the beautiful memories came as a flashback in front of her

"Bade Papa...muje Randhir ke paas jana hai" She mumbled

Nirmala came back.

She learnt everything from Kishore.

Sanyukta packed her bags and was ready to go with them.

"Thank you so much Nirmalaji" "You supported and took a great care of my daughter-in-law and grandchild" "Thank you " Harsh said

"No Mr Shekhawat...no need of Thanks" "Sanyukta is my daughter" "Jo Anju didi karti wahi maine kiya uske liye" Nirmala said

"We are taking her with us" Harsh said

"Sure..." Nirmala replied

Sanyukta and Nirmala shared a hug.

Harsh, Parth and Sanyukta were on the way to Shimla.

Sanyukta was sobbing continuously

All she wanted was to be with Randhir at the moment.

Since the moment she heard about his condition she felt miserable.

For a moment she forgot everything

"Beta don't cry now.." "It's not good for you" Harsh said

"Bade Papa...Randhir is in such condition because of me" Sanyukta sobbed

"No..beta...don't blame yourself now" "Situations should be blamed here" "I so want to go back and set things right" Harsh said

"Not situations uncle...but some people" Parth said

"Means?" Sanyukta asked him

"Bhabhi...that day Ayesha came to you and told you everything" Parth said

Sanyukta nodded

"But did you ever thought...ki aagar usse pata tha ki Randhir is behind this accident...toh itne din woh chup kyu rahi" "And...I think she was friend to you. Right?" "Bhabhi you used to visit hospital to see her dad" "Phir bhi usne aapko kabhi kuch kyu nahi bataya" "If she really want justice for her father...then why did she hide the truth for 8 months" "She was the eye witness of that accident...that's what she told you" Parth said

Sanyukta thought for a while.

"Think about it Bhabhi" "There is something more to this" "Ayesha...is hiding something" "And you would be shock to know that in this 6 months she never came to Randhir for money" "Randhir use to help her with money for her father's treatment" "Toh 6 mahino se woh paise lene kyu nahi aayi" "Infact she disappeared" Parth said

"Is she was genuinely concerned about her father" "Then she would have come to seek money"

"She would have told the truth in front of police and police would have arrested Randhir" "In fact she kept quite" "Knowing the fact that Randhir was behind accident" "She zipped her mouth"

"Why?" "Didn't she wanted justice for her father" Parth said

"Parth...even she discharged her father from hospital and took him home in coma condition" "The very next day ...I saw her in mall with shopping bags" "This is strange" "And I never thought about this" Sanyukta said

"Bhabhi...Ayesha is hiding something from all of us" "About that accident" "Needs to be found out" Parth said

"But usse...pehle...Randhir ka thik hona zaruri hai" Parth said
