Sanyukta sat in corner of the room.
She was in her house.
Her knees joined and hiding her face on them.
Randhir came there with plate of food.
He came to her and sat in front of her.
"Sanyukta..." He kept his palm on her head.
"Shona...khana laya hu....have it" He said
She looked up at him.
Her eyes were puffy and red.
She looked dull and pale.
It's 15 days to Kishore's death.
Since last 15 days Randhir is staying with Sanyukta in out house.
Sanyukta is still not stable.
She has not yet overcome it.
"Khana..." He said
She nodded in NO.
"Please...'" He requested
"Little bit..." He said
She nodded
Randhir feeded her some dal and chawal.
He kept the plate on table and made her drink water.
He wiped her mouth with his hand.
Her eyes welled up again.
He pulled her nape and hide her face in his chest.
She sobbed.
Randhir caressed his head and placed a kiss on her head.
"Shona...take rest na" He said
She sobbed.
"Come..." He picked her up in his arms and made her lay on bed.
He covered her with blanket.
He was about to go but she held his hand.
"Mat jao..." She said in broken voice.
He sat next to her.
She rested her head on his lap.
He lightly tapped her head and soon she was fallen asleep.
Randhir slowly made her sleep properly on bed.
He adjusted her head on pillow.
She pressed his lips on her forehead.

"Is Sanyukta fine?" Kishore asked
Randhir nodded in NO.
"She is still not stable Dad" he said
"It will take time..." "It came like shock for all of you...so just think about her" "We just cannot even imagine how if feels when you lose both of your parents" Kishore said
"Hmmm...." "I am more worried now" "I am worried for her" "Last time...Kishore uncle se mil bhi nahi payi woh'" "I wish ....she could meet him" Randhir said
"I wish...Kishore uncle sach batate" Randhir said
Kishore looked at him immediately
"Randhir...." Harsh kept his palm on his shoulder
"Dad...I can't hide the truth from her anymore" Randhir said
"But Randhir..." "No...you can't do this" Harsh said
"Dad...Kishore uncle...saved me" "He was in jail for a crime which he never committed" "He died...but his daughter doesn't even know that her father was innocent" "Dad...this is getting hard for me now" "I live in guilt ever since I was married to Sanyukta..." "I love Sanyukta...but...a part of me...is always guilty" "I wish...I wish...Sanyukta ko Kishore uncle ke jaane se pehle sab sach pata chalta" Randhir said
"No Randhir..." "Sanyukta has no one except you and our family" "We are her only family now" "She is emotionally dependent on you" "She is still in shock and trauma with Kishore's death" "This truth will break her Randhir" "Lets keep it secret"
"Kishore ke saath yeh sach bhi...chala gaya" Harsh said
"How can you even say that dad?" "How can you...?" "Sanyukta deserves to know the truth" "Aur main usse chupa sakta" "She trusts me blindly Dad...which makes me die in guilt" "But...now...its time to tell her truth" "I know she will be broken, hurt...devastated" "But...aab aur nahi Dad"
"She will hate me" "She will leave me..." "But...she deserves to know the truth"
"I am unlucky Dad" "Very unlucky..." "I love her so much...but...I just cannot hide the truth from her anymore" "I cannot be selfish now" Randhir said
"She will not be able to handle it Randhir" "And what about you...will you be able to live without her'" "And Sanyukta...she loves so much...kaha jayegi woh?" "How will she react?" "Will you both be able to live without each other?" Harsh said
"I don't know..." Randhir left from there.

"Poor Kishore Agrawal" "My condolence to him" "The crime which has not even committed ...usko uski saza mili" "And his daughter is living with the actual criminal" "Rip Kishore agrawal" Ayesha laughed an evil one
Ramakant served a glass of vodka for himself
"Poor Sanyukta..." "She will be so broken" "At one side her dad...and other side her husband who is fooling her" Ayesha said
"Actually...she very innocent" "She trusts people around her quickly like she trusted me..." "and it was so easy for me to fool her" "Usko aaj bhi yahi lagta hai ki my father is in coma because of that accident committed by her father...oops husband"
"Even her husband is...not..."
Ayesha suddenly stopped seeing Kabir standing at her door.
