Randhir and Sanyukta were coming back home.

Randhir was angry with his recent encounter with Parth.

Randhir was driving the car very roughly.

The car was running at high speed and Sanyukta was actually very scared of Randhir.

He is angry over something she knows it.

"Randhir...please car dhere chaliye..." She requested him.

He didn't pay attention to her words.

"Randhir please...car dhere chaliye..." "Muje darr lag raha hai" She requested him.

"Randhir..." she said

Randhir suddenly applied the brakes and car came to halt.

He got out of the car.

Sanyukta too got out of the car.

"Randhir..." she said

He turned and grabbed her shoulders tightly.

"Why?" "Why Sanyukta?" "Why everyone wants me to like you?" He said

Her eyes widen in shock.

"Why is everyone forcing me...?" He shouted on her.

It was enough for her to break down into tears.

"Why can't you live your life happily Sanyukta?"
"Why don't you let me live my life for god sake..." He shouted

"See Sanyukta...I have already told you don't expect anything from me..." "Let me live my life independently..." "God knows how did you convince Dad to join office..."
"But please...muje meri zindagi chain se jeene do..." He pushed her.

Her back hit with the car.

She was crying badly.

Randhir grabbed her hand and pushed her inside the car.

He sat on driving seat and started the engine.

Soon they reach home.

Sanyukta wiped her tears as soon as they reach.

She ran to her room leaving Renuka and Harsh tensed.

Before Harsh could question Randhir he left for his room.

Sanyukta splashed some water on her face.

Her eyes were red due to crying.

She quickly changed and step out of the washroom.

She found Randhir getting ready.

He wore a casual attire.

She didn't ask him anything.

Randhir grabbed his jacket and left the room.

He left home giving no answer to any of his parent's questions.

Randhir reached pub and gulped down many shots.

Renuka came there with food for Sanyukta.

"Sanyukta, please have something beta..." Renuka said

"No Maa...I don't want to have anything" She sobbed

"Please don't hurt yourself because of Randhir" Renuka said

"Maa I am fine..." She said composing herself

"I know something happened between you two..."
"I am even ashamed of asking you what happened"
"But please...I don't want your health to get ruined..." Renuka said

"Maa...I am fine..."
"Trust me..." Sanyukta forced a smile on her face.

"Have some rice beta, don't sleep with empty stomach" Renuka said

"Okay Maa..." Sanyukta said

"Let me feed you..." Renuka said

Sanyukta quitely ate food.

"When will Randhir come Maa...?" Sanyukta asked with hope.

Renuka's heart broke seeing the Sanyukta's love for her son.

"Soon beta...." Renuka said

Only if anyone could understand the context of this question of Sanyukta's.

Renuka dimmed the lights of the room.

Sanyukta closed her eyes.

But sleep was far away from her.

She started crying.

She stood up and went near their dressing table.

She stood in front of mirror and cried looking at herself.

"He doesn't like me..." She cried

"He doesn't like my face, he dislikes me..." She cried more.

"Unhe main pasand nahi hu..." She said

"That's why he behaves like this with me" "He dislikes me..."
"Isliye unhone muje aaj tak kabhi touch bhi nahi kiya..." She cried

"Because I am not beautiful for him" She concluded

"Why Randhir?" "Why...If you don't like me...then why did you marry me?" She said

"Why...?" She hide her face into her palms.

God knows when she fall asleep on bed.

Next Morning.

Sanyukta was in sleep but was unable to move.

She tried hard but something was stopping her from moving.

She slightly opened her eyes and turned her face only to find Randhir sleeping very close to her.

She realised their positions.

He has caged her slightly.

His hand was covering her belly and she was hell close to him.

Their legs were tangled with each other.

Sanyukta was deeply into sleep that she didn't realise when he came home and slept so close to her.

She remembered the last night incident and her eyes became moist.

She somehow controlled her tears and moved his hand away from her.

She somehow managed to free leg which was tangled with his legs.

She quickly got up and rushed to washroom.

Sanyukta find Randhir's clothes he wore last night when he left for somewhere.

She grabbed them and was about to put them into laundry bag when a certain smell hit her nostrils.

The smell was of alcohol.

"Randhir got drunk last night..." She concluded

She came out of washroom in sometime.

She was drying her hair when Randhir woke up.

He had terrible headache.

He looked at her only to see her filing her parting with vermilion.

They share a tiny look at each other but not exchange of words.

Randhir went to washroom and saw his clothes lying in corner.

"Sanyukta..." he shouted and opened the door.

She rushed to him.

"What happened?" She asked "Why are my clothes lying in that corner?" He asked

"Because they are smelly" She said

Randhir remember that some drink got spilled on his shirt last night.

"Main aapke kapdo ko side main isliye rakha kyuki uski smell phir dusre kapdo pe lag jati" She said

He nodded.

"Main jau?" She asked

"Hmmm...." He said

Randhir quickly took a bath and got ready for office.

On breakfast.

"Randhir...I hope you remember you and Sanyukta have to attend a party tonight"
"Mr. Williams have specially invited you both" Harsh said "I do remember Dad..." He said

"Sanyukta....I hope you are okay with it" Harsh asked Sanyukta.

"Dad I will go alone..." Randhir declared

"You both are invited so you both will go..." Harsh said

"But..." before Randhir could speak

"Papa it's okay..." she said

"It is not okay..." Harsh said

"Okay fine...we both will go" Randhir said in defeat.

"Come on...let's leave for office" Randhir said looking at her

"I am sorry Randhir" "I won't be able to come today..." "I don't feel good" She said

"Are you fine Sanyukta...?" Renuka asked

"Yes Maa...I just don't feel like going office today" "I hope it's fine Papa..." She said looking at Harsh.

"Yes beta, of course...take some rest..." Harsh said

Randhir left for office.

Renuka and Sanyukta were having usually chit chat.

"Maa...can I ask you something?" She said

"Yes Sanyukta..." She said

"Maa...I mean...I don't know...how will I say...I mean..." Sanyukta fumbled

"Tell me Sanyukta..." Renuka chuckled

"Maa...I want to look good" Sanyukta said

"What...?" "Sanyukta...you look beautiful beta..." Renuka said

"No Maa..." "I don't...." "I know I am not beautiful..." "But I want look one..." Sanyukta said

"Who said that?" "Randhir...?" Renuka said

"No Maa..." "I realised it..." Sanyukta said

"Maa...I know I don't suit Randhir" "I look like typical Indian wife..." "I wear this clothes...salwar kurti" "I don't do make up...I don't wear good and fancy clothes" "I know I am misfit for Randhir..." "I want to change myself..." "I want to look beautiful..." Sanyukta said

"Beta you are a beautiful girl with beautiful heart..." "You don't need to change yourself..." Renuka said

"I want to do it Maa..." "for Randhir..." she said

"Okay...let's surprise him tonight..." Renuka winked
