Sanyukta Kishore Agrawal.
Sanyukta Randhir Shekhawat.
She wrote on the very first page of her diary.
"Aaj ek week hogaya muje vapas aaye hue"
"After the success of Mission Mars"
"Aabhi bhi believe nahi ho raha ki maine yeh kar diya"
"Mission Mars ko successfully lead karna bohot tough tha"
"Easy toh tha nahi kabhi bhi...par Randhir ki wajah se hume yeh achieve kar paye"
"Ek hafta kaise beet gaya pata hi nahi chala"
"Interviews, award functions....congratulations calls and messages"
"Time hi nahi mila..."
"Lekin aaj..."
"Aaj sukoon se wakt mila hai muje...taki main yeh likh pau"
She smiled.
"2 years of non stop hard work"
"2 years of dedication"
"2 years of wait"
"Finally woh din aagaya..."
"Mission Mars"
"Bohot nervous thi"
"Darr bhi tha dil main..."
"Par main janti thi...ki mera mission successful hoga"
"Hum yeh kar dikhayenge"
"Kyuki...mera Sadu mere saath tha"
She looked at the photo frame of SanDhir kept on table.
"College main bhi...jab bhi main koi risky task karti thi...Randhir mere saath hota tha"
"Aur muje task se darr bhi nahi lagta tha..."
"Kyuki muje yakin hota tha ki mera genius sadu muje kuch hone nahi dega"
"Itna pyaar jo karta hai mujse..."
"The credit of the success of Mars Mission goes to...
Randhir Singh Shekhawat - Operations Head, Mars Mission"
"Usne jis tarah se iss mission ko analyse, monitor or control kiya...ISRC space station se...koi nahi kar pata"
"ONCE A GENIUS ALWAYS A GENIUS"
"I am proud of you Sadu Shekhawat"
"Yeh do saal shayad hi main kabhi bhul paungi"
"Ek paal aaisa bhi aaya...jab mere saamne do raste the" "Aur muje unn do rasto main se koi ek rasta chuna tha"
"Mere liye yeh bohot mushkil tha..."
"Kyuki woh dono raste mere liye bohot important the"
"Woh dono mazile aaisi thi...ki mere liye kisi ek ko choose karna bohot mushkil tha"
"Main Maa banane wali thi"
"Aur dusri taraf...Lead astronant of Mission Mars"
"Aaise mod pe khadi jaha...dono main ek bhi kho nahi sakti thi"
"Ek taraf main ek Maa thi aur dusri taraf Lead Astronant"
"Aur main selfish nahi ho sakti"
"Main koi decision nahi le pa rahi thi"
"Abortion?"
"Nahi...main yeh nahi kar sakti thi"
"Main khud aapne baache ke saath...yeh kabhi nahi kar sakti thi"
"Aur yeh baby...humare pyaar hai"
"The baby was sign of our togetherness"
"Randhir ne mujse kaha thi ki mera jo decision hoga...woh mere saath rahega"
"Lekin yeh main bhi janti hu ki Randhir ke liye family ki importance kya hai"
"Our baby was going to complete us..."
"We were going to have our family"
"Randhir bohot khush tha..."
"Muje aaj bhi yaad hai Randhir kitna khush tha jab maine yeh baat usse batayie thi"
"Randhir bohot sensitive hai...when it comes to family"
"Family kya hoti hai shayad usse woh jaane ka kabhi chance nahi mila..."
"Aur aab...hum humari family banane wale the..."
"Main yeh kaise kar sakti thi..."
"Randhir ke saath" "Aapne baache ke saath"
"Dusri taraf mera mission,meri team"
"Jisko meri zarurat thi"
"Mera mission...mera dream"
"Meri puri team mujpe dependent thi"
"Pure India ki umeed thi mujse...ki main yeh Mission Mars successful karke dikhau"
"Har uss ladki ki ummed mujse judi thi...jo sapne dekhti hai...aur unn sapno ko pura karna chahti hai"
"Main isse bhi chod nahi sakti"
"Phir maine aapni life ka sabse bada...aur sabse important decision liya"
"Aaisa decision jo shayad maine kabhi socha bhi nahi hoga ki muje lena padega"
She stopped writing and looked at her 6 months old baby girl who was sleeping peacefully.
"Do raste the mere paas..."
"Par maine khud aapna rasta banaya"
"Haan yeh rules ke against tha...par phir bhi maine iss mission ko lead kiya...with my baby in my womb"
"Bohot difficult the woh 9 mahine..."
"Bohot thak jati thi..."
"Weakness hoti thi...tabiyat thik nahi rehti thi..."
"Par woh kehte hai na...a woman becomes double strong when she is pregnant"
"Mere case main bhi yahi hua..."
"Meri beti Sara..."
"Jab mere andar thi...mere strength ban gayi..."
"Aur Sara ke dad...my biggest support system"
"Randhir humesha mere saath rehta"
"Ek hi jagah kaam karna ka fayda"
"Usne na ek robot machine banayi...mere liye"
"Taki main time par aapni medicines lu, khana khau, pani piyu"
"Aagar kabhi woh mere paas nahi ho toh..."
Sanyukta looked at robot machine kept on the table.
"Uss pata tha ki robot alert kar dega...phir bhi muje phone karke yaad karata"
"Aur jab bhi possible ho...khud aata tha muje dawai dene, khaana khane"
"Raat ko jab main dizzy feel karti thi...bohot tired hoti thi...muje hug kar leta"
"And the relief I use to get...."
"Itne tough schedule main se bhi hum humare liye time nikal hi lete the..."
"Raat ko, ISRC main, lab main..."
She blushed profusely.
"Randhir ko shayad hi maine itna khush dekha hoga kabhi..."
"Woh bohot khush tha.."
"Par bohot tension bhi leta tha..."
"Plannings bhi karna start kar diya tha usne"
"Investments, mutual funds..."
"Yaha tak ki baby konse school main jayega yeh bhi decide kar rakha tha..."
"Par bohot strict bhi tha..."
"Jaise hi hum kaam se ghar aata...muje ek kaam nahi karne deta tha..."
"Khana banane tha humare liye..."
"Usse pata hai ki muje ghar bilkul saaf chaiye...ghar ki safai tak karta mera sadu"
"He made sure...that I get maximum rest at home..."
"Mera Sadu..."
"Kyu karte ho mujse itna pyaar?"
She smiled widely.
"Meri Mars Mission team bhi bohot supportive thi"
"Bohot support kiya hai muje mere team ne..."
"Randhir ke saath saath woh log bhi mera dhyaan rakhte the"
"Randhir kuch instructions deke jata tha...aur meri team usse follow karti thi"
"Team humesha kuch na kuch karti rehti mere liye...taki main happy rahu...aacha feel karu"
"Hum team kaam aur family zyada ban gaye the..."
"Jab bhi muje check ups ya test ke liye hospital jana padta tha..meri team sara kaam sambhal leti thi"
"Muj par zyada burden na ho isliye late night tak kaam karti taki hum targets achieve kar paye..."
"Randhir aapne tight schedule se time nikal kar humesha mere saath check up aur sono test ke liye aata"
"Ek bhi miss nahi kiya usne..."
"Usne aaj tak ke saare test reports sab kuch save karke rakha hai"
"Pagal hai na Randhir..."
She chuckled.
"In 9 months main...Maa ki bohot yaad aati thi"
"Kash Maa hoti saath toh..."
"Bohot khush hoti woh..."
"Maa humesha kehti thi mujse "Sanyu...jab tu Maa banegi na..tab tuje samaj aayega"
"Jab bhi Maa ko pareshaan karti thi..aur Maa muje danti thi..."
"I miss you Maa..."
"Par main janti hu Maa...aap jaha woh..muje dekh rahe ho"
"Aur bohot khush bhi ho..."
"Aapki Sanyu aab khud Maa ban gayi hai..."
She chuckled
"Maa ne muje humesha support kiya"
"Mere sapno ko samja hai"
"Muje samja hai..."
"Papa ke against jake bhi Maa ne humesha mera saath diya hai"
"Kash aap aaj humare saath hoti Maa.."
"Aap kitni khush hoti yeh dekh kar ki...Papa..."
She wiped her tears
"Papa ne muje maaf kar diya hai, Maa..."
"Woh bohot khush hai...bohot proud hai muj par"
"Main unhe proud kiya hai Maa..."
"Uhone muje samja..meri dreams ko samja Maa..."
"Maa main jo chahti thi woh hogaya..."
"Papa ne muje accept kar liya Maa..."
She wrote as tears rolled down her cheeks
"Papa ne Randhir aur meri shaadi ko bhi accept kar liya hai Maa"
"Aab unke liye mere khushi se zyada kuch important nahi..."
"Aur woh jante hai ki meri khushi Randhir ke saath hai..."
"Sara ko toh itna khayal rakhte hai ki pucho mat"
"Usse pyaar se choti Sanyu bulate hai..."
She smiled admist of her tears.
Just then received a call from Randhir.
"Hello..." He said.
"Hello..." she replied.
"Kaisi ho?"
"Kya kar rahi thi?"
"Aur Sara kaisi hai?" He asked
"Thik hu..."
"Bas aaisi hi..kuch kaam kar rahi thi" "Sara thik hai bilkul...so rahi hai filhal"
"Tum batao...kab tak aaoge vapas"
"Kaam kaise chal raha hai?"
She asked
"Sab thik hai..."
"Raat tak vapas aajaunga"
He said.
"Thik hai...I am waiting"
"Come soon"
She said
"Hmm..."
"I love you"
He said
"Love you too"
She replied.
She disconnected the call and kept the phone on table.
She turned the page of the diary and started writing again.
"Phir aaya woh din..."
"Shayad mere life ka sabse best day..."
"Jab maine aakhe kholi...Randhir khada tha meri aakho ke samne"
"Humari beti ko lekar..."
"Woh moment mere liye ka sabse best moment tha..."
"Woh feeling main baya bhi nahi kar sakti jab maine Sara ko pehli baar aapne god main liya..."
"Meri beti..."
"Dusri hi paal maine Randhir ko dekha..."
"Uski aakhe..."
"Woh itna khush tha...."
"Uski khushi uske aakho main dikh rahi thi muje..."
"Main phir Sara ki taraf dekha..."
"Bilkul Randhir ki tarah dikhti hai woh..."
Sanyukta looked at Sara who was sleeping in her coat.
"Sara..."
"Randhir ko yeh naam bohot pasand tha..."
"Hum do ke naam ke first two letters jo hai..."
"I hope tum aapne Dad ki tarah intelligent or genius bano"
"Woh sab achieve karo jo tum chahti ho..."
"Tumhari aakhe meri jaisi hai..."
"Randhir humesha yahi chahta tha...ki humari baby ki aakhe meri jaisi ho..."
"He wanted our baby to look at the world from my prespective..."
"The way I look at this world..."
"And...Sara bhi meri tarah koi sapna dekhe...aur usse pura kare..."
"Mars Mission was on it's final stage now"
"Maine pehli baar 10 din ki chuti li"
"Maternity leaves"
"Sara ke liye..."
"Maan toh nahi tha ki aapni 10 din beti ko chod ke kahi jau..par yeh mumkin nahi tha"
"Sara ka kya hoga...usse kon sambhalega"
"Bohot worried thi maine"
"10 din ki thi woh sirf..."
"Ek paal ke liye muje aaisa laga ki main meri beti ke saath thik nahi kar rahi"
"Usse meri zarurat hai...aur main..."
"I don't think so aaisi koi Maa hogi duniya main jo kaam ke liye aapni 10 saal ki beti ko chod ke jaye"
"Main bohot guilty feel kar rahi thi..."
"Rona aata tha yeh soch ki meri beti ko meri zarurat hai aur main aapne mission main lagi hu"
"Mission Mars ka woh din kareeb aaraha tha..."
"Lekin mera Sadu ne mere iss problem ko solve karna solution bhi dundh liya tha"
"Operations Lead hona ka kuch toh fayda ho"
She chuckled.
"10 din baad main jab phir ISRC gayi...toh muje ek surprise mila..."
"Randhir ne aapne cabin main ek chota sa room banavaya tha..."
"Sara ke liye..."
"I can't believe..."
She giggled.
"Usne uss chote se room ko bohot beautifully decorate kiya tha..."
"Usne yeh isliye kiya taki main Sara ke saath humesha rahu"
"Jab bhi usse meri zarurat ho main uske paas ho"
"Sara bhi humari good girl hai..."
"Zyada tar woh soti rehti thi aur main aapna kaam kar pati thi"
"My good girl..."
"Bilkul bhi pareshaan nahi karti muje..."
"Jab bhi muje time milta main Sara se milne chali jati.."
"uske saath time spent karti thi..."
"Aagar main toh Randhir toh hota hi that aapne cabin main Sara ka dhyaan rakhne ke liye"
"Aaisa karke hum dono ne manage kar liya"
"Jaise college main kiya karte the..."
"Har problem ka solution khud niklta aur solve karte..."
"Sach main...Vardhan Sir sach kehte the..."
"Main aur Randhir alag alag nahi hai...par ek team hai"
"Aur jab hum dono saath hote hai...hum kuch bhi kar sakte hai..."
"We are unbeatable..."
She looked at their wedding picture in her phone.
"Phir woh din aaya...jiska hum sab ko intezaar tha..."
"Mission Mars..."
"Main bohot khush thi..."
"2 saal ki mehnat finally aaj rang lane wali thi..."
"Main aur meri team confident the..."
"We were motivated aur hume pura yakin tha ki hum yeh kar lenge..."
"Randhir pe toh muje khud se bhi zyada trust hai..."
"Isliye relieved thi par ek question phir bhi mere maan main tha..."
"Sara ka kya?"
"3 mahine usse kaun sambhalega"
"3 mahine meri beti kaise rahegi mere bina"
"Haan Randhir hai...par woh bhi busy hoga..."
"Uss pura mission monitor or control karna tha...aaise main woh kaise Sara ka khayal rakhega..."
"Main bohot tension main thi..."
"Bohot darr lag raha tha..."
"At this point of time...maine Maa ko sabse zyada miss kiya..."
"Phir uss raat..."
"Papa aaye ghar pe...muje best of luck wish karne..."
"Woh bohot khush the..."
"Aur Randhir aaj bhi thoda sa darta hai Papa se..."
She laughed on remembering the incident.
"Papa ne humare saath dinner kiya aur...bohot sari baatien bhi ki..."
"Muje nahi laga tha Papa kabhi mujse kuch aaisa kahenge...ki muje yakin hi nahi hua..."
"Unhone Sara ko sambhal ne ki baat ki"
"Jab tak main Mission se vapas na aajau...woh khayal rakhenge Sara ka..Randhir ke saath"
"Main itni khush thi iss baat se..."
"Papa ne kaha ki woh humare ghar rehne aayenge...taki woh Sara ka khayal rakh sake..."
"We were relieved"
"Aaj sach main Papa ne Maa ki kaami mehsoos hone nahi di..."
"Main bohot zyada khush or relaxed thi..."
"Par ek baat ki tension phir bhi thi muje..."
"Randhir aur Papa...ek saath ek hi ghar main"
"Mahabharat na hojaye..."
She laughed.
"But...muje pura yakin tha ki Randhir aur Papa Sara ka bohot aachese khayal rakhenge"
"Shayad mujse bhi zyada aachese"
"Dono mujse jitna pyaar karte hai...utna hi pyaar dono Sara se bhi karte hai"
"Finally woh din aaya..."
"Man aapni astronant suit pehne ke ready ho rahi thi..."
"Khush thi,exicted thi,motivated thi...par thodi nervous or tensed bhi thi"
"Mere saath meri puri team muje pe dependent thi..."
"There was no room for any faults or mistakes"
"Mere kehne pe Papa, Sara ko lekar space centre aaye the"
"Meri beti sukoon se so rahi thi uske pram main"
"Main uss aapne paas liya aur seene se laga ke rone lagi"
"Randhir ne waha aake muje sambhala...."
*flashback*
"Jao..."
"Tumhari team aur space ship tumhara wait kar rahi hai"
Randhir said
"Sara..." Sanyukta mumbled.
"Main hu yaha uske saath..."
"Trust me..."
Randhir said
"I trust you..."
She said
*flashback ends*
"Aur finally...."
"We had a successful launch"
She smiled
Just then Sara woke up.
"Aare mera baacha kyu ro raha hai..."
Sanyukta took Sara in her arms.
The day turned into night.
Sanyukta was waiting for Randhir.
"Kya baat hai...bilkul pe time" She said
"Late kaise ho sakta hu..." He said and kissed her forehead.
"Sara kaha hai?" Randhir asked
"So rahi..." Sanyukta said
"Tabiyat toh thik hai...fever tha kya din main?" He asked
"Nahi..."
"Thik hai..."
She said
"Fresh ho jao..."
"Khana lagati hu..."
She said
At dinner.
"Kya kiya tumne pura din?" Randhir asked her.
"Bas kuch nahi...Sara ke saath time spent kiya" Sanyukta said
"Muje bohot bura lagta hai...jab main Sara ko time nahi de pata" Randhir said
"Kisne kaha tumse?"
"Tumne jo Sara ke liye kiya hai shayad hi koi daddy aapni beti ke liye karta hoga"
Sanyukta said
Randhir smiled.
Soon they finished the dinner and went to their room.
"Sona hai?" She asked him.
"Haan...I think raat main log sote Sanyukta..."
"Tum aabhi bhi Mars pe ho kya"
He giggled.
"Chalo na...balcony main jake baatien karte hai"
She said
"Chalo..." He smiled.
"I missed this..." She said as soon as Randhir caged her in his arms.
"I miss you too..." He said
"Aacha batao...jab main teen mahine nahi thi...toh tumne kya kiya" She asked him.
"Tumhara intezaar kiya" He chuckled.
"Pssst...sahi se batao na..." She insisted.
"Sanyukta kaam hi itna tha...kya karta aur..."
"Making sure you are safe..."
He said
"Aur Sara?"
Sanyukta said
"Papa the isliye Sara ki tension nahi tha..."
"Kabhi kabhi main Sara ko space centre leke aata tha"
He said
"Aacha"
"Tumhe disturb nahi hota tha..."
She said
"Humari beti good girl hai..."
He said
"Woh toh hai..."
"Akhir muj pe gayi hai"
She said
"Bikul..." He agreed.
"Aur Papa?" She asked him.
"You know Sanyukta...jo kaam tum nahi kar payi Sara ne kar diya" He said
"Matlab" She said
"Matlab...maine aur Papa ne milkar Sara ka khayal rakha"
"hum dono main jo issues the...woh solve hogaye"
He said
"Thank god..finally"
"You know muje toh waha bhi tension hoti...ki Papa aur Randhir ek saath..."
"Pata nahi kya ho raha hoga..."
She chuckled.
"Sab thik tha..." He said
"Thank you Randhir"
"Thank you for everything..."
"Aagar tum nahi hote toh shayad main yeh kabhi nahi kar pati..."
She said
Randhir tighting his grip around her.
"Thank you to muje tumhe kehna chaiye..."
"Tum ne jo muje diya hai...woh priceless hai" "SARA..."
he said
"I love you..." She said
"I love you too..." He replied.
They close their eyes and moon shine brightly in sky.
