As evening crept the trio get ready for the movie.
"Sanyukta you are looking so beautiful, aaj koi show nehi dekhga, kyun ki sab tumhe dekhne mein jo busy rahega." Parth grinned at her.
"Parth tumhare saad par bachpan mein koi chot laga tha yeh phir tum aaise hi ho half mad?" Sanyukta asked thus he rolled his eyes. Just then Randhir came.
"Aare Randhir tu saach much chal raha hain mujhe laga tune yuhi bola!" Parth teased him.
"Kyu nehi chalunga tera last wish jo hain!" Randhir said mockingly.
"Aare yeh last-wast mat bol main states wapas jaa raha hu, marr nehi raha hu!" Parth rolled his eyes.
"Aagar issi tarha Sanyukta se flirt karta raha toh tujhe koi nehi bacha sakta!" Randhir said in mind.
"Chale?" Parth asked and the trio left together.
Parth was enjoying the movie when Randhir steeling glances of Sanyukta who was sitting in between them. Sanyukta get bored as she didn't like english movie so she concentrate at her popcorn. Soon her popcorn was finished thus she get dissappointed when Randhir forwarded a packet at her. She nodded a no when he kept that on her hand next.
Randhir and Parth both were enjoyed the movie when Sanyukta enjoyed the popcorn. She offered Parth who nodded a no then she forwarded her hand to Randhir to offered popcorn. Randhir was busy with his phone so he bent down a little and take the popcorn with his lips unmindfully. Sanyukta was shocked by his gesture when Randhir also realized his mistake. He looked at her with guilt full eyes.
"I'm sorry." He whispered when Sanyukta looked at the screen quickly.
"Bolo kisko keya chahiye, Sanyukta, Randhir popcorn?" Parth asked as interval started.
"Nooo!" Both said in union and looked at each other once then looked away.
"Ek dusre ko baad mein dekhna pehele bolo kisko keya chahiye?" Parth said playfully.
"Kuch nehi." Both said together again.
"Okay, toh main aapne liye coke lene jaa raha hu." Parth left when Sanyukta also stood up. Randhir looked at her curiously.
"Wo mujhe washroom jana hain." She said hesitantly.
"Ohh okay." Randhir replied and Sanyukta left also.
After sometimes Parth came with lots of snacks.
"Sanyukta kaha hain?" He asked looking around.
"Washroom geyi hain." Randhir replied.
"But aabhi picture start hone wali hain, gum toh nehi ho geyi?" He asked thus Randhir get worried.
"Parth please jake check karna." Randhir said as he don't want to face her after that popcorn incident.
"Okay, am going to check." Parth said and went towards the washroom, on the way he saw Sanyukta was coming.
"Thank god tum mill geyi, warna hum aabhi police station jane wale thay." Parth said faking seriousness.
"Keya, kyu?" Sanyukta was confused.
"Aare tum mill jo nehi rahi thi, pata hain main kitna darr geya tha ke meri Sanyu kaha hain!" He said dramatically.
"Shut up Parth." Sanyukta slapped on his shoulder playfully.
"Oye hoye, popcorn kisiko khila rahi ho aur aabhi romance kisi aur ke saath kar rahi ho, kabhi humare taraf vi toh dekh liya karo janeman!" Parth and Sanyukta turned to heard this and saw 4-5 men there.
"Just shut up, let's go Sanyukta." Parth said angrily and about to go holding Sanyukta's hand when they stopped them.
"Aare waha aandar kisike saath aur aabhi yeha kisi aur ke saath, toh kuch waqt humare saath vi guzaro na janeman!" The man was about to touch Sanyukta when Parth punched him hard.
"Aab jake zara doctor ke saath vi time spend kar lena dude." Parth said and about to go with Sanyukta when other 4 man caught him.
"Parth! Chhodo usse!" Sanyukta about to run towards him when the man caught her wrist.
"Chhodo mujhe." Sanyukta started struggling.
"Leave her or else I'll kill all of you." Parth yelled thus all started laughing.
"Tu hume marega!" The man laughed again when his face welcome a tight punch thus he fall on the floor.
Sanyukta turned her face and saw Randhir stood there. Randhir immediately freed Parth and both bited the goons black and blue. Randhir was continuously bited the man when Sanyukta screamed.
"Randhir chhodo usse, marr jayega wo." Sanyukta screamed thus Randhir looked at her and leave that man. His eyes were blood shot now and face was red.
"Sanyukta you okay?" Parth asked when she nodded.
"Mujhe ghar jana hain." She said slowly when Randhir caught her hand and pulled her along with him when Parth just followed them.
Randhir pulled Sanyukta with him and they came to the parking. Sanyukta was shocked by Randhir's behaviour but she choose to kept mum in front of Parth. Randhir open the back sit door and she sat inside.
"Aare Randhir tere haat se toh khoon nikal raha hain!" Parth said thus Sanyukta noticed that Randhir's wound got open and blood came out from there.
"I'm fine." Randhir take out a hanky from his pocket and wrapped it on his wound.
"Okay main drive karta hu." Parth said and starts the car. The journey was silent. Randhir and Sanyukta both were silent when Parth said.
"Thanks yaar help karne ke liye, waise main samval leta!" He said but no one answered and the rest of the journey was all silent. Soon they reach mansion but didn't found anyone at there.
"Thank god, sab bhabhi ke ghar gaye hain warna aagar hume iss halat mein dekhte toh bahut daat padta." Parth take a relief of sigh when Randhir directly went to their room.
"Lagta hain isska mood aabhi tak kharab hain, Sanyukta please dekho." Parth said thus Sanyukta nodded and went to the room.
Sanyukta entered at the room and saw Randhir was sitting on the couch silently, his white hanky turned in a red one but he don't even react. Sanyukta take the first aid box and sat beside him. She hold his hand when he took it back.
"I'm fine." He said coldly when she hold his hand again and this time tightly.
"Bola na I'm fine." He said rudely when she removed the hanky from his hand.
"Yeah I can see that!" She said in a sarcastic way and wiped his blood with cotton.
"Maine tumse help manga?" He said sternly when she applied the medicine on his hand.
"Toh keya maine tumse help manga tha tab, main aapna kheyal khud rakh sakti hu." She twisted her lips when tied a bandage on his palm.
"Haan dikh raha tha kaise rakh rahi thi aapna khyal! Aur wo idiot Parth, pata nehi aagar main nehi aata toh keya ho jata!" He said angrily.
"Tumhe keya, tum toh khush hi hote aagar mujhe kuch ho jata, hain na!" She said when kept the first aid box on it's place.
"Mujhe kuch ho jaye usse badi khushi tumhare liye aur keya ho sakta hain! You hate me, after all I'm your soul enemy Randhir!" Sanyukta said mockingly and next she was pinned against the wall by him.
"Enough, bass bahut ho geya Sanyukta! Kabse tumhara bakwas sun raha hu, thanks bolne ki wajaye taunt maar rahi ho!" He gritted his teeth when she jerked his hand.
"Thanks kiss baat ki Randhir, aaj jo kuch vi huya tumhare wajase huya!" She said angrily.
"Mere wajase?" He was confused.
"Haan tumhari wajase, tumne mere haat se popcorn khaye jiske wajase unn logo ne mujhe itni gandi gandi baatein kahi. Aaj ek baar phirse tumhari wajase mujhe humiliate hona para." Sanyukta's eyes got moist.
"Aagar main popcorn nehi vi khata tab vi wo log tumhe tease karte Sanyukta." Randhir replied firmly.
"Haan aapna fault kyu manoge, tumhari toh kabhi koi galti hoti hi nehi, chahe koi kitna vi suffer kare tum humesha innocent hi hote ho, hain na Randhir?" She said thus he lowered his lashes.
"I'm sorry Sanyukta, aaj ke liye vi aur mere har uss galti ke liye jo maine kiya hain." He said slowly.
"Mujhe nehi chahiye tumhare yeh fake sorry Randhir, kyu ki main janti hu tum sorry nehi ho, bilkul nehi ho. Phirse koi plan jarur banayoge mujhse revenge lene ke liye. But listen to me very carefully, main tumhara koi vi plan kamiyab hone nehi dungi." She gritted her teeth.
"Sanyukta I'm really sorry, please forgive me, please." He said holding her shoulders tightly.
"Never, main tumhe kabhi maaf nehi karungi Randhir, kabhi nehi." She hissed in anger.
"Tell me one thing Randhir what will you do if I don't forgive you, will you try to molest me again?" She asked furiously thus his grip got loosened on her forearm.
"I-I am sorry Sanyukta for that night." He lowered his lashes.
"I know I was wrong but trust me I felt really guilty for that night." His voice broke.
"Trust, yeah right! I'll trust a venomous serpent instead of you Randhir but I'll never trust a man like you!" She spat out venom.
"Sanyukta why don't you understand that I felt really guilty!" Randhir pinned her against the wall.
"Leave me Randhir, I said leave me!" Sanyukta gritted her teeth and struggle to get out of his hold.
"I'm sorry Sanyukta, please forgive me." Randhir pleaded when Sanyukta looked at him.
"Bahut desperate ho rahe ho na mere maafi ke liye, keya kar sakte ho?" She asked sternly.
"Kuch vi!" He replied straight.
"Toh jake maa ko sab kuch saach saach bata do." Sanyukta said coldly thus Randhir looked at her shockingly.
"Aagar tumne maa ko sab kuch saach saach bata diya toh main tumhe maaf kar dungi Randhir." Sanyukta said coldly thus Randhir got speechless.
"Keya mom ko?" He hesitated.
"Haan maa ko." She said thus he gulped hard.
"Keya huya darr gaye! Bahut desperate ho rahe thay na mere maafi ke liye, kuch vi karne ko ready thay toh aab keya huya, hosh thikane aah gaye?" She asked mockingly when he kept mum.
"Now I know how much you eager for my forgiveness Randhir, so from next time don't waste my time to do all this drama!" She said sternly and about to go when he said.
"Aagar main mom ko sab kuch saach saach bata dunga toh keya tum mujhe saach much maaf kar dogi Sanyukta?" He asked thus she looked at him.
"Haan kar dungi." She replied quickly.
"Okay I'll tell mom everything, I promise." He said firmly thus she got surprised.
"But promise me after that you will forgive me." He stretched his hand, she looked at his hand once then looked at him.
"I promise." She said holding his hand.
* * * * * * * * *
Letter at the night when everyone of the house was in there peaceful slumber Randhir was still awake. He was laid on the bed and thinking of his own decision.
"Maine Sanyukta se promise toh kar diya lekin keya mom ko batana sahi hoga! Mom mujhe kabhi maaf nehi karengi." He take twist and turns on the bed then get up. He saw at Sanyukta's sleepy face.
"Lekin maine Sanyukta se promise kiya hain, usska keya?" He said in mind.
"Kash Arpita tum yeha hoti toh phir koi solution jarur batati." He sighed in disappointed and laid down again.
But sleep is too far from his eyes, he take twist and turns and thinking again and again about his decision and don't know when he dozed off.
* * * * * * * * *
Soon morning crept on. Randhir open his eyes as sunlight fall on his face. He rubbed his eyes and her eyes fall on Sanykta wo was still sleeping. He looked at her once then dashed towards the washroom.
"Yes I have to say mom every damn truth cause I wants to meet gaze with myself." He said determinedly looking at own image through the mirror.
Randhir came out after freshen up and his eyes fall on Sanyukta. Their gaze met for a second which tore down by her next.
"I hope tumhe aapna promise yeead hain?" Randhir asked slowly looking at her.
"Yeah I do, I hope you also." Sanyukta said slowly yet sternly.
"Yes I remember." Randhir replied firmly then left the room with out saying a word. Randhir came out from his room and went direct the terrace.
"Mom iss waqt puja ghar mein hongi, yehi sahi waqt hain unhen saach batane ka." He thought and went to the mandir at terrace.
He came and saw Renuka was sitting on puja, her head was covered by the pallu and she was bending in front of the statue of Maa Durga.
"Mom mujhe aapse baat karni hain." Randhir said slowly thus she about to turn when he stopped her.
"No mom please pichhe mat dekhiye, main bahut himmat karke aapko kuch batane aaya hu, aapke aankhon mein dekhunga toh kuch nehi bol payunga. Aap please chup chap se meri baat suniye, phir aapko jo bolna hain boliye ga, please." Randhir said thus she don't move an inch.
"Mom main....maine aapse jhoot kaha tha, actually maine sabse jhoot bola tha ke I love Sanyukta. It's not truth, actually I hate her, not now but few days ago. I wants to take revenge of her and our....our marriage was the out brast of my revenge plan only." And Randhir blurted out the whole truth.
"Mom I'm sorry, I know I was wrong aur iss baat ke liye aap jo chahe mujhe saja de sakti hain!" He said slowly when Renuka kept mum.
"I understand mom aap shocked ho saach jaan kar but I have to told you everything so I did, now it's up to you what punishment you wants to give me. But one thing is I have no burden in my mind now." Randhir said and came down.
He take a relief of sigh, it's not easy for him to confess every single truth in front of Renuka but instead of fearing he felt light from inside.
"Now Sanyukta have to forgive me." He smiled brightly and came down. On the way he spotted Sanyukta who just came out from their room.
"Maine mom ko sab kuch saach saach bol diya hain." As soon as Randhir saw Sanyukta he told her that.
"What, tumne bol diya sab kuch maa ko?" She asked surprisingly.
"Haan." He nodded positively.
"Maa ne keya bola?" She asked curiously.
"Not a single word, she must be upset on me hearing the truth." He said slowly when Sanyukta look down.
"Sanyukta tumne promise kiya tha ke aagar main maa ko sab kuch saach saach bol dunga toh tum mujhe maaf kar dogi!" He said hopefully looking at her when she looked at him.
"I'm sorry for everything Sanyukta please forgive me, at least now." He said impatiently.
"Randhir wo..." Sanyukta was about to say something when Renuka and Maya entered at the house.
"Aare Sanyukta achchha huya tum mill geyi, yeh prasad sabko de dena." Renuka said when Randhir and Sanyukta both got shocked. She looked at Randhir with painful eyes when Randhir looked at her confusingly.
"Mom aap yeha?" Randhir asked shockingly looking at Renuka.
"Haan wo main aur Maya mandir gaye thay subha subha, Sanyukta yeh lo prasad, sabko de dena." She handed her the thali of prasad and left when Sanyukta stood there numb.
"Sanyukta main..." Randhir was tried to say something but stopped by her.
"Bass bahut ho geya Randhir, subha subha mera mazak udane ke baad aab shayed tumhara din bahut achchha guzrega, hain na! And I'm a fool jo ke soch rahi thi ke tum saach much badal gaye ho! Lekin tum kabhi nehi badal sakte." Her eyes were brimmed with tears.
"Sanyukta main kyu tumhara mazak udayunga, main geya tha upor mandir mein mom ko sab kuch saach saach batane, I swear." He pinched his throat.
"Yeah right mom ko, Maa Durga ki murti ko, hain na Randhir! Wow superb plan." She smiled in between her tears.
"Main kaise bhul geyi ke tum wohi Randhir ho jo humesha mere emotions ke saath khelte ho, aur aaj vi tumne wohi kiya. I just hate you Randhir, I hate you." Sanyukta wiped her tears and left from there when Randhir was shocked.
"Toh maine wo sab kuch kisse kaha?" He said to himself and rushed to the mandir again. He entered at the mandir and was froze to saw Ragini there.
"Di aap?" He asked shockingly when Ragini looked at him coldly.
"Di aap....aap yeha thi?" Randhir was stammered, he was hell shocked to saw Ragini there. Ragini slowly get up and looked at him coldly.
"Haan main thi yeha aur maine suna sab kuch." Ragini said thus Randhir lowered his lashes.
"Lekin yeh baat mom ko pata nehi lagni chahiye, she can't tolerate the truth." Ragini said slowly.
"But di maine Sanyukta se promise kiya hain ke main mom ko sab kuch saach saach bata dunga." Randhir said hesitantly.
"Family ki prestige, reputation, goodwill sab kuch barbaad karne baad vi tujhe shanti nehi mila, aab keya chahata hain ke mom ko serious kuch ho jaye?" Ragini said coldly.
"But di aagar maine mom ko saach nehi bataya toh Sanyukta mujhe kabhi maaf nehi karegi. Bahut muskil se mujhe yeh ek chance mila hain aur main isse kho nehi sakta." Randhir said slowly but sternly.
"Tu mom se kuch nehi kahega and that's final." Ragini said firmly.
"But di Sanyukta!" Randhir asked hesitantly.
"Sanyukta se main baat karungi but tu mom se kuch nehi kahega, kuch nehi, understand!" Ragini said in an icy cold voice thus Randhir got agreed halfheartedly and Ragini left from there.
