Some days passed.

Sanyukta started developing faith in her love for her husband and their marriage.

Randhir's behaviour didn't change much...but he started showing little care towards her.

Sanyukta was happy in this little change in him.

She didn't complain and didn't keep any expectations.

Things very slowly have started turning into her favour.

One evening.

To Sanyukta's surprise Randhir came home early.

She was happy seeing him.

She was happy thinking she would get some more time in adoring her husband today.

She was happy in her little victory.

Randhir came to their room and found Sanyukta in garden.

He fetched his clothes and dashed inside washroom.

Randhir pressed the knob of shower.

Hot water droplets touched his body.

He closed his eyes.

Only Sanyukta's face came in front of his eyes.

Randhir opened his eyes with jolt.

"What is happening...?" He asked himself.

He pressed the knob of shower and water stopped flowing.

He grabbed his towel and tied it around his waist.

He came out and found Sanyukta watering plants in the garden.

They could still see each other.

Sanyukta skipped a heart beat seeing Randhir.

She immediately lowered her eyes due to shyness.

He had just tied a towel around his waist.

She blushed harder.

Randhir remain unaffected by it.

He opened his closet and started fetching for his clothes.

His closet is big one but still small for him.

They share the closet.

One part of closet belongs to Sanyukta other half belongs to Randhir.

Husband-Wife thing.

He pulled a yellow colour tee shirt this time.

Meanwhile something fell down with tee shirt.

He looked down and found a black bra on floor.

He widen his eyes in anger.

"Sanyukta..." He shouted.

She rushed to the room.

"What is this?" He said eyeing her bra on the floor.

"Ohh...I am sorry" She ran and quickly picked her bra and stuffed it inside her side of wardrobe.

"I am sorry..." She said

"How can you be so careless?" He scolded her

"I am sorry Randhir"
"I don't know how it came there..."
"It is by mistake..."
"I will make sure it doesn't happen again..." She said

"How did it came here Sanyukta?"
"Or you did it purposely?" He said

"Randhir...." She was shocked to hear it.

"See, I want my entire closet back..." "Entire means...ALL...."
"Empty your side of closet right now" He said

"But where will I keep my things then..." She questioned him.

"I don't know..."
"Keep it in your bags...but not in my closet"
"I want my closet empty in next 2 hours..." Randhir said

Sanyukta's eyes welled up.

She emptied his closet and arrange her clothes and other essentials into her bags again.

Soon it was time for dinner.

It is for the first time after their marriage, Shekhawat family is dinning together.

First time Randhir will be having dinner with his wife Sanyuka in this 1.5 months of marriage.

Sanyukta served food to everyone.

She sat next to Randhir.

"Food is good..." Randhir commented.

"Food is made by Sanyukta..." Renuka said

Randhir didn't responded and concentrated on food.

Sanyukta was noticing Randhir secretly.

She was happy and satisfied today.

She can read it from his face that he really liked the food.

She has started finding happiness in such small moments.

Later that night.

Randhir and Harsh were having business talks.

Randhir was telling Harsh about their new projects.

Randhir was continuously yawning while talking.

Harsh chuckled on his state.

"What...?" Randhir said

"You will get sound sleep tonight" Harsh said

"After all you had home made food prepared by your wife..."
"Biwi ke haath ka khane ki baat hi kuch aur hai" Harsh said

"Aaisa kuch nahi hota"
"I get good sleep even if I don't eat home made food"
"In fact I am used to of having any food now"
"It should just fill my stomach..." "Doesn't matter if its home made food or outside food"
"And I didn't ask her to make food for me"
"She is free to do whatever she wants..."
"anyways she is at home for whole day..."
"Its good time pass for her..." Randhir said and left from there.

He came to room and found Sanyukta standing in front of mirror.

She was tieing her beautiful hair into a lose bun.

Randhir avoided her as usual.

He sat on bed and started checking his phone.

But...he was noticing her from corner of his eyes.

She fetch clothes from briefcase and went inside washroom to change.

She came back wearing a little pink colour kurti and white salwaar.

Randhir raise his head up as soon as he felt her presence around him.

Her bangles made sound and it indicated him that she is back.

She sat on knees and was searching for something in her briefcase.

Randhir noticed something.

Now he was not sure how is he going to tell it to her.

Gathering lot of guts...finally he got up and went to her.

Randhir went and stood beside her.

He rolled his eyes but again his eyes got fixed on her back.

"Sanyukta..." He said

She immediately stood up and turned around.

He was standing right at her back.

"Aa...umm...that..." He was not finding correct words to convey his message.

"What...?" she said

"The hook of your kurti..." He said

She touched her back realising that hook of her kurti was open.

"Is open..." He said

"I...I...didn't know..."
"I am sorry...I will...change I don't know how the hook is broken" She said

It was an embrassing moment for both of them.

"I am sorry...It was unintentional..." she said

She was so shy to look up into his eyes and speak.

"When did I say that...?"
"It happens...." He said

"No, before sometime...you said...when you find my...my..." "My clothes in your wardrobe" She fumbled.

Randhir realised it.

No he didn't mean it that time.
Words slipped out of his mouth and he didn't realise what he spoke.

"I am sorry about it..."
"I really didn't mean it..." He said

"It's okay..." she said

She grabbed another dress and ran inside washroom.

Randhir couldn't help but just think about her.

Sanyukta changed into other kurti.

She checked properly before stepping out of washroom.

He was arranging bed for them...Umm...for HIM.

She came and sat on bed.

Some hair strands were falling on her face, cupping her cheeks from both sides.

She was again trying to tie her hair in bun.

While the process her bangles made sound.

Finally she successfully tied all her hair into a lose bun.

Randhir was admiring her all this while.

She lay on bed and found Randhir watching her.

Randhir realised it and turned his face to other side.

Sanyukta closed her eyes to gain sleep.

Next day.

"This is really good idea Harsh"
"I am glad you thought about it..." Renuka said

"Renuka...Thanks to Randhir he made me realise it" Harsh said

"Randhir...?" She asked

"Yes, he thinks...Sanyukta doesn't have anything to do for whole day" "So she prepared food for him...which Randhir doesn't like"
"So I thought...Sanyukta should join office"
"She is well educated and capable" "Then why not...?" Harsh said

"Will she agree to it...?" Renuka said

"She has too...I don't want her to be dependent on Randhir"
"She should be independent..."
"She will work..." Harsh said

Just then Sanyukta came to their room.

"Papa..." She said

"Come beta..." Harsh said

"Papa you called me...what happened...?" She asked

"Get ready..." Harsh said

"Okay...are we going somewhere?" Sanyukta asked

"We are going to office beta" Harsh said

"Office...?" She questioned

"Yes...." Harsh said

"But why Papa...?" She asked

"That's a surprise for you..." Harsh said

"Come on get ready fast..." Harsh said

Sanyukta nodded.

Soon Sanyukta and Harsh were on their way to office.

Harsh has called a directors meeting.

Randhir got the information about the meeting from his PA.

Even he had no clue of the purpose of the meeting.

"Good Morning Sir..."
"Good Morning Mam..." Staff members greeted them.

Harsh took Sanyukta to meeting room.

Randhir was shocked to see Sanyukta there.

"Good Morning ladies and gentleman" Harsh greeted everyone.

Sanyukta was hell nervous.

She looked at Randhir who obviously was shock to see her there.

"She is my daughter in law Sanyukta..." Harsh introduced board members to Sanyukta.

She chirped a Hello to everyone.

"Sorry for calling this urgent meeting but I need to make a important announcement" Harsh said

"My daughter in law Sanyukta would be joining Shekhawat group from tomorrow" Harsh declared.

Sanyukta and Randhir were shock.

"Dad...but..." Randhir stood up.

"Why not Randhir?"
"Dont you think your wife should work too?"
"She is well educated and capable too" "Then why not?"
"Anyways she gets bore at home..." "Also she will be a helping hand to you and you guys can spend some more time together while working" Harsh said

"That's true" "Brilliant idea" "Welcome, Mrs. Sanyukta Shekhawat" one of their board members said.

"Thank you everyone..." Harsh said

Sometime later.

"Papa...I can't do this"
"I mean its huge responsibility..." Sanyukta said

"And you are capable of taking it up Sanyukta" Harsh said

"Papa...but...Randhir..."
"He won't like it..." Sanyukta said

"Then it's his problem..." "Sanyukta...you have your identity..." "I want you to be independent woman..."
"See Sanyukta, I know things are not well between you and Randhir"
"I know you are trying to put efforts from your side into this marriage..." "But sometimes...you have just let it go" Harsh said

She looked at him.

"I know you love Randhir"
"You are doing everything you can do..."
"It's time for him to realise your value"
"Let your efforts come to rest for sometime..."
"You have given enough to this marriage...now it's his turn" Harsh said

"Papa...I am not part of his life"
"He has not accepted me as his wife" "In all this if I start working it might hurt him" Sanyukta said

"Let him get hurt Sanyukta just don't bother"
"I want you to focus on work now" "Just keep aside your marriage...and polish your identity"
"And it's not tough..."
"I am there to help you..." Harsh said

"Papa...he will not like it" Sanyukta said

"Does he care about your likings?" "No...then you should also do the same" Harsh said

"Papa I can't..." "I can't ignore it..." "Our marriage is important for me..." She said

"Who is telling you to ignore your marriage Sanyukta?"
"No beta...of course not..."
"If you start working Randhir will realise your importance..."
"He thinks...you are incapable..."
"I want you to prove him wrong...." "And..you guys will be together for more time..."
"You can work with him...as his colleague and wife too" Harsh said

"Papa I don't have experience..." She said

"If you don't try...you will never get experience..." Harsh said

Sanyukta nodded.

"Driver is waiting in parking"
"He will drop you home..." Harsh said

"Aren't you coming..." She asked

"Will come afterwards..."
"Now need to handle your husband..." Harsh chuckled.

Sanyukta smiled and left for home.
