Vancouver Airport.

"Hi, Please can I have ticket of next flight to Toronto"
"It's urgent..." Sanyukta said

"Sure Mam...let me check" the lady at the counter said.

"Ma'am there is one ticket available..." the lady said

"Thank you..." Sanyukta said

She waited for sometime.

She opened the gallery of her phone and saw some pictures of her parents.

She rubbed the thumb on screen and tear drops fell down on from her eyes.

She swiped the screen and the next picture was of Randhir.

More tears dropped down from her eyes.

Soon she heard announcement of her flight.

She switched off her phone and went inside.

On the other hand Randhir was trying to call Sanyukta.

Her phone was switched off.

Randhir set out to search for Sanyukta.

He tried searching for her at every possible place.

But he couldn't find her.

A strange but strong fear arose in his heart.

What if something happens to her? Where is she?
Is she safe?
were some questions in his heart. The day turned into evening.

Randhir couldn't find Sanyukta.

Now it's high time he should inform Harsh about Sanyukta.

He was scared of Harsh but it was necessary to tell him.

Toronto, Canada.

"Sanyukta..." Renuka was shocked to see Sanyukta.

They were going to return after two days.

Here Sanyukta came alone to Toronto.

"Harsh..." She called Harsh.

"Sanyukta..." Harsh mumbled

"Beta...what happened?"
"Are you fine?"
"You came alone...what happened Sanyukta?" "And where is Randhir?" Renuka asked her.

Sanyukta started crying.

"Sanyukta..." Renuka took her into hug.

"Maa..Randhir..." She cried miserably.

"What Sanyukta?" "Beta kuch bolo please hume bohot chinta ho rahi hai" Renuka said consoling her.

"Maa...aab main yaha nahi reh sakti" Sanyukta cried more.

Renuka looked at Harsh.

"Please...let me go back to India" "Please Papa..." She broke the hug and looked at Harsh.

"Please...muje India vapas jaane do" "Main aab yaha aur nahi reh paungi..." Sanyukta said

Sanyukta told everything to Harsh and Renuka.

"Papa...nothing is left now" "Everything is finished..."
"Please Papa...let me go back" "please jaane dijiye..." Sanyukta requested him.

Harsh just nodded.

Just then Randhir called Harsh.

"Hmmm....speak..." Harsh said

"Dad...Sanyukta" Randhir said

"What about Sanyukta?" Harsh said

"Dad...she is missing" "I searched for everywhere Dad..." "I don't know what to do know" Randhir said

"Come back" Harsh replied in calm voice.

"Dad...but Sanyukta...she is missing" "How can I come back?" "I need to search for her" Randhir said

"She is here..." "She came to back home" Harsh said

"What...?" "She is there in Toronto...." "Thank god..." "But why did she do this?" "I was so worried for her" "How come she travelled alone..." "Please give phone to her..." "I want to talk...here I was worried for her and there she came back to Toronto" "Why?" Randhir said

"You come home you will get answers to your questions" Harsh said

"Okay Dad...coming" He said

Harsh disconnected the call.

"Papa...I don't want to meet Randhir" Sanyukta said

"You won't...you will leave for India before he comes" Harsh said

Sanyukta started packing her bags.

Harsh and Renuka were sad and upset.

"kitne pyaar se Sanyukta ko yaha lekar aaye the Renuka" "Socha ki ...humara parivaar pura hogaya" "But..." Harsh felt bad.

Renuka kept her hand on his shoulder.

"Randhir ne aaisa kyu kiya Renuka?" "Why did he do this to that innocent soul..." "Just look her at her..." "My heart bleeds seeing her like this" Harsh said

"Harsh, I am worried for Anjuji and Kishoreji" "How are they going to react to all this?" Renuka said

Harsh realised it.

"I will go to Delhi after some days" "I will talk to them and ask for forgiveness"
"I can't even imagine what all they will go through after knowing this" "Main usne maafi mangunga..." "Khud baat karunga unse...but Sanyukta won't suffer now" Harsh said

"Will she agree Harsh?" Renuka asked

"She will..." Harsh said

Renuka and Harsh went to Sanyukta.

She was siting on bed and lost in thoughts.

"Sanyukta..." Harsh said

Sanyukta composed herself and got up.

"Papa..." She said

"Done with packing?" Harsh asked

"Hmmmm...." Sanyukta replied

"We will for airport leave in sometime..." Harsh said

Sanyukta nodded.

"I want say something Sanyukta" Harsh said

"Ji Papa..." She said

Harsh went and stood in front of her.

He joined hands and hung his head low.

"I am sorry beta..." "I am really sorry..." Harsh was in pool of tears.

"Papa please...aap yeh kya kar rahe hai" "Please Papa...don't say sorry" Sanyukta held his hands.

"No Sanyukta..." "It all happened because of us..." Harsh said

"No Papa...please don't say like this" "Please don't blame yourself for it" "It was destiny..." Sanyukta said

"Renuka and I were so happy when Randhir said YES to this marriage" "We had liked you in first meet and were hoping you to become part of our family"
"It happened..." "But...." Harsh cried.

"No Papa..." "Please stop blaming yourself..."
"I have accepted the truth..."
"But I won't be able to see you or Maa like this"
"Please...I won't be able to forgive myself then..." "Please Maa and Papa...." "I call you Maa and Papa because I have always seen my parents in you both" "please Papa...I don't want to go from here with heavy heart" "Aap please sorry mat boliye..." "Jo hua...usme aap dono ki koi galati nahi" Sanyukta said

Harsh kept his hand on her head.

"Renuka...see...now we have a daughter" Harsh spoke.

"Yes..." Renuka smiled wiping her tears.

"Always Papa..." "You daughter will be there for you..." Sanyukta said

"I want to do something for you" Harsh said

"Yes Papa..." She said

"Come sit first..." Harsh said and made Sanyukta sit.

"I know this marriage has given you nothing except sorrows and pain" "I know how much you have suffered because of this" "But now...I have decided something for you" "Please don't get me wrong...but this for your betterment..." Harsh said

"What Papa?" She asked

"Renuka...." Harsh signalled her to bring something.

Renuka came with a file.

"Beta, you deserve happiness" "You deserve love and a happy life" "This marriage has given you nothing..." "So...I want you ..." "I want...you to liberate from this bond..." Harsh said

Sanyukta couldn't understand his words.

"Get separate Sanyukta..."
"Divorce Randhir..." Harsh said
