The day was a big torture for Sanyukta as Randhir didn't call her for once or reply any of her call hardly. She was marching in her room restlessly when her phone buzzed with Randhir's number.
"Finally! Time mill geya use family ke liye!" She said in her mind and received the call but before she could say anything Randhir started saying.
"Aare Sanyukta itne saare missed calls, sab thik toh hain na! Anyways listen things are going just awesome. Wo Ruby Ray toh mujhse bahut jyada impress ho gayi hain, I think tender hume hi milega." Randhir said happily when Sanyukta take a relief of sigh.
"That means aab tumhe use impress karne ki aur koi jarurat nehi hain?" She asked hopefully.
"Kaha Sanyukta, wo dusre company wale vi hain na! Chil ki tarha nazar garaye huye hain. Specially wo Bajaj aur Mittal. Main koi chance nehi lena chahata and soch raha hu ke unn sabse Miss Ray ko dur rakhu." Randhir said thus Sanyukta crocked her eyes.
"Dur rakhoge, par kaise?" She asked confusingly.
"Soch raha hu use leke long drive par jau, phir saath mein lunch. What are you say?" Randhir asked thus Sanyukta burnt in anger.
"Uss chudail ko long drive par leke jayega, mujhe toh kabhi nehi pucha! Aur lunch... humne saath mein aakhri baar kab lunch kiya tha yaad hain tumhe!" She said in mind when frowned dangerously.
"I don't know!" She composed herself and said sternly.
"Aare Sanyukta it's very beneficial." He said excitedly.
"Kiske liye?" She asked coldly.
"Aare company ke liye aur kiske liye! Waise main uske saath long drive par jayunga isse tumhe koi problem toh nehi hain na Sanyukta?" He asked innocently.
"Haan hain, bahut jyada problem hain. Tum kisi aur ke saath long drive par nehi jaa sakte aur nahi lunch kar sakte ho!" Sanyukta said in mind when tears rolled down from her eyes. But she wiped them and continue.
"No mujhe keya problem ho sakti hain, mujhe koi problem nehi hain." She tried to sound normal but the fact is she was not.
"I knew it that you don't have any problem. Aare tum unn sakki, sanki, pagal wifes ki tarha bilkul vi nehi ho jo aapne husband par shak karti hain. Aare tum toh bahut understanding ho. Am proud of you." Randhir said when Sanyukta kept mum.
"Okay listen I have to go now, Ruby is waiting for me." He said hurriedly.
"Randhir listen..."
"Okay bye bye." And before Sanyukta can say anything Randhir cut the call next.
"Go wherever you want to go, I don't care." She said when sat on the bed with a thud.
* * * * * * * * *
"Aare Sanyukta tum kuch kha kyu nehi rahi ho?" Renuka asked Sanyukta during the lunch as she saw her playing with the food only.
"Nehi kha rahi hu." She said when stuffed a spoonful rice in her mouth.
"I think uska dil Delhi mein hain tabhi khana gale se nehi utar raha hain!" Parth said teasingly earning a glare from Renuka.
"Haar waqt mazak achchha nehi hain Parth, chup chap khana khau." Renuka said thus Parth nodded positively.
"Ohh my god see what Randhir has send!" Parth screamed suddenly looking at his phone.
"Keya bheja hain Randhir ne?" Ragini asked curiously thus Parth showed them a photo in which Randhir was sitting with a girl.
"Wow chhote is looking so handsome and the girl is so stunning." Ragini said excitedly looking at the picture.
"That's Ruby Ray. The girl am talking about." Parth said thus Sanyukta stopped eating.
"Deal crack karne geya hain yeah phir picnic par!" Rajveer said annoyingly.
"Aare LOC par thodi na geya hain! Ho jayega deal creak, tum khana khao." Anjali said to Rajveer when Sanyukta lost all her apatite for the food. But she knows that Renuka won't listen any of her excuses so she forcefully ate the food and went from there.
She came to her room and vomit totally what she had. She wiped her face and came out from the washroom. She fall on the bed as she can't stand anymore and bursted out into tears.
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you Randhir." And she started crying continuously.
* * * * * * * * *
"Sorry can't take your calls baby. Wo keya hain na we are going for shopping now and after that disco." Sanyukta threw her mobile after reading the message.
"Enough is enough now. Aagar main chhut de sakti hu toh phir wapas le vi sakti hu." She said to herself and left the room.
"Maa mujhe Delhi jana hain." Renuka was reading a magazine when Sanyukta came there.
"Kaha jana hain?" Renuka looked at her confusingly.
"Wo maa keya main Delhi jaa sakti hu?" Sanyukta asked hesitatingly.
"Sanyukta you know na ke aabhi tumhara flight se jana mana hain!" Renuka said surprisingly.
"Toh phir driver ke saath bhej dijiye mujhe." She said hopefully.
"Are you kidding me Sanyukta! Almost two thousand kilometer distance hain aur main tumhe aakele sirf ek driver ke saath Delhi bhej du! Have you lost it?" Renuka asked shockingly thus Sanyukta became tongue tied.
"Waise Delhi kyu jana hain?" Renuka asked thus Sanyukta looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"Wo Randhir ko waha aakela sab kuch manage karne mein problem ho raha hoga, toh phir aagar main chali jati toh uska help ho jata. I'm sure kaam ke chakkar mein khana vi thik se nehi kha raha hoga!" Sanyukta said hopefully thus Renuka think something.
"Okay main dekhti hu. Aab tum check up ke liye jau. Maine Ragini ko bol diya hain wo tumhare saath jayegi." Renuka said thus Sanyukta nodded and left next when Renuka smiled softly.
* * * * * * * * *
"Rajveer Randhir ka phone laga keya?" Renuka asked to Rajveer after the dinner.
"No mom, shaam se try kar raha hu but phone switched off aah raha hain!" Rajveer said helplessly.
"Haan haan phone on karke kyu rakhega! Jarur uss Ruby Ray ke saath kisi disco mein hoga aur main call karke disturb na karu iss liye phone switched off kar diya hoga!" Sanyukta said in her mind.
"Shayed kisi meeting mein hoga." Parth said thoughtfully.
"But aabhi toh itni raat ho gayi hain, aabhi koynsa meeting..." And Rajveer stopped in the middle as his gaze fall on someone. Sanyukta followed his gaze and almost stunned to saw Randhir in front of her eyes.
"Randhir, tu yeha iss waqt! Is everything fine?" Rajveer asked shockingly when Randhir didn't answer anything and went to his room leaving everyone stunned behind.
* * * * * * * * *
Sanyukta came to their room and was shocked to saw the scenario. The trolley bag was fallen on the middle of the room when his laptop was on the bed and his coat was laying on the floor. Sanyukta look up and saw Randhir stood near the window and was looking outside.
"Ohh ho Randhir yeh room ka keya haal kiya hain! Yeh saari cheese idhar udhar faila huya hain aur waise vi tum iss waqt yeha keya kar rahe ho?" She asked confusingly but didn't get any answer so she went near him.
"Randhir keya huya?" She asked slowly when placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" She asked again when Randhir turned around. His hair were messy, face was stiffen and the eyes were red. Sanyukta became panicked to saw him like that.
"Randhir keya huya hain? Sab kuch thik toh hain na?" She asked anxiously when Randhir just hugged her tightly. He was breathing heavily when Sanyukta became confused.
"Randhir what happened?" She asked caressing his back when he kept mum.
"Please kuch toh bolo, aab mujhe tension ho rahi hain!" She said and trying to break the hug when he hold her tightly.
"Bass 5 minute aur, please." He said slowly thus Sanyukta take a relief of sigh to heard him normal.
"Aakhir baat keya hain?" She asked curiously after breaking the hug when Randhir lowered his lashes.
"Okay forget it, kuch khaya tumne?" She asked witnessed his fallen face when Randhir kept quiet. She sighed helplessly.
"Main kuch khane ke liye lati hu." She said and about to go when Randhir hold her wrist.
"Mujhe chhod kar mat jau, please don't leave me alone." Randhir said with a heavy voice when Sanyukta smell something weird.
"Aare main tumhe chhod kar kaha jaa rahi hu Randhir! Bass kitchen mein jaa rahi hu." She tried to convince him but Randhir's grip doesn't loosen on her wrist.
"Keya huya hain bolo mujhe." She said softly when Randhir looked at her with moist eyes.
"Randhir, tum roo kyu rahe ho?" She asked shockingly cupping his face when Randhir look down.
"Baatao mujhe!" She asked anxiously when someone knocked the door. Sanyukta opened the door and saw a maid stood there.
"Ji wo sahab ne chhote sahab ko bulaya hain." The maid informed her.
"Thik hain, tum jau main bhejti hu." Sanyukta send the maid and came back to Randhir.
"Papa ne bulaya hain tumhe." She said nervously when Randhir nodded only.
"Main saath mein chalu?" She asked when Randhir nodded a no.
"No I can manage." He replied and left the room.
Sanyukta came to the kitchen and cooked something for him.
"Pata nehi keya baat ho gayi jo yu aachanak wapas aah geya! Don't know papa kaise react karenge, kuch bol vi toh nehi raha!" She murmured under her breath and sighed helplessly.
After sometimes she came back to their room with the food and saw Randhir was sitting on the couch silently. She kept the tray on the table and sat down beside him.
"Keya huya papa ke room mein?" She enquired when Randhir kept mum.
"Papa ne bahut daata keya?" She asked again but Randhir didn't answered anything.
"Achchha tum suddenly wapas kyu aah gaye, 4 din ke liye gaye thay na Delhi?" She asked another one when Randhir looked at her.
"Baad mein baat kare please, aabhi mann nehi hain." He pleaded thus she nodded.
"Okay but khana toh kha lo." She said forwarding the plate when he again went to his silent mode thus Sanyukta sighed helplessly.
"Main khila du?" She asked softly when Randhir blinked his lashes only but still doesn't say anything. Sanyukta smiled and forwarded a spoonful pasta at him.
"Pasta with white sauce, jaisa tumhe pasand hain." She said when finally Randhir open his mouth and ate thus Sanyukta smiled brightly.
* * * * * * * * *
After dinner Randhir direct lay down on the bed when Sanyukta was arranging his stuffs. After that she came to the bed and saw him already sleeping. She caressed his hair then also lay down beside him and closed her eyes but sleep was far away from her eyes.
Isn't it called irony, cause when Randhir was not here Sanyukta was dying to hear his voice and now when he is here laying beside her and she was dying to ask him thousands of questions but can't dare to saw his totally void and blank face. What happened to him suddenly which turned him totally silent! The fun loving guy looks very serious and worried too. Sanyukta had too many questions to ask but it seems not the right time. He doesn't seem ready to face the questions and maybe for that he was avoiding her since he returned back.
Sanyukta sighed when decided to give him the time to open up but the fact was she became restless every passing second and she knows she can't be relax without knowing the truth. She takes twist and turn on the bed and taking the preparation to spend a sleepless night when she opened her eyes next feeling his one hand wrapped her waist and pulled her closer to him thus her back touched his chest.
"I think you won't be sleeping without having my answers." Sanyukta heard him murmured near her ear thus she turned around and kept her hand on his shoulder.
"Will you please?" She asked looking into his eyes thus he look down. But that for a moment.
"Aagar main tumhe saach baatau toh kahi tum mujhse nafrat toh nehi karogi na?" He asked hesitatingly thus she became shocked.
"Randhir main tumse nafrat kyu karungi? Aur tum yeh sab kyu bol rahe ho, aakhir baat keya hain? Why you became so restless?" She asked when Randhir sat up on the bed. Sanyukta also sat up and hugged him from behind.
"I know tumne kuch galat nehi kiya toh phir nafrat karne ka sawal hi nehi uthta. Keya huya hain bolo mujhe am strong enough to handle every situation. You know me na." She said kept her head on his shoulder thus Randhir got agreed.
"Am sorry Sanyukta, sorry more than anything." He said when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.
"I was flirting with that Ruby Ray not only for the business but to make you jealous too." He confessed when Sanyukta was looking at him surprisingly.
"I know you was very much jealous to saw us together and honestly speaking I was enjoying that too. That's why I spend the whole day with her purposely and send those pictures to make you more jealous. But I didn't know that on this way I gave that woman a wrong signal." Randhir said when Sanyukta crocked her eyes but remain silent.
"After talking to you we left for the shopping. We shopped a lot and took our lunch together. During this we became good friends too. At the evening we went to a disco and I asked Ruby for a dance. We were dancing when accidently Ruby's ankle got twisted so we came back to the hotel. I helped her to reached at her room when she requested me to be with her some more time and I can't deny her thinking she was wounded." He stopped for a moment.
"But Sanyukta I regret for that now. I regret to spend time with her. I regret for doing friendship with her. I regret for went at her room with her." His voice shook up a little.
"Kyu keya huya uske room mein?" Sanyukta asked slowly holding his hand when Randhir also hold her hand more tightly and continue.
"When we reached at her room she looks like okay with her ankle and when I asked her she said that it's her trick to came back to the hotel early. I was a little shocked but still maintain the calmness. I said that she didn't need to do that as if she wasn't comfortable there we must go somewhere else. When she smiled and encircled her arms around my neck giving me another shock. I was trying to remove her hand saying what's she doing when she said that either am so innocent or trying to be one as if I don't know what she doing. I was shocked by her action but still trying to convince her that it was wrong and am married too and can't cheat on my wife when she said if I want the deal then I have to fulfill her every wish. And with that she pushed me on the bed and tried to kiss me when I shoved her away and came out from the room." His face seems so terrified remembering that horrible incident when Sanyukta almost stopped breathing.
"I-I never thought that I was giving her wrong signals with my friendly gesture thus she ended up like that way. I was shocked when she said that I didn't give her that much importance if am not interested in her on that way and now am showing loyalty for my wife! You know what Sanyukta am feeling so disgusted when she look at me like that and when she said that I have to satisfy her needs I-I felt myself like a male whore then." Randhir said with a heavy voice when Sanyukta tightened her hold around him when suddenly he turned around and hugged her tightly and said, "I'm sorry Sanyukta, am so sorry." And with this he finally cried.
"Sshhhh... don't cry. And what you sorry for Randhir? It's not your fault Randhir it's her fault who just can't saw the difference between you and a wrong person! It's her fault who can't recognised your friendly gesture and take it as something else. You are not guilty Randhir." She tried to convince him but can't succeed. She sighed when an idea came in her mind.
"Baby see papa is crying." She said caressing her belly when Randhir looked at her.
"Aab toh baby ne vi dekh liya aab toh rona bandh karo! Waise vi you aren't guilty." She said playfully but his next words made her speechless.
"Am not guilty Sanyukta, am ashamed. Am ashamed for that night when I'm trying to forcing on you." Randhir said not able to meet his gaze with her when Sanyukta's smile got vanished.
"Now I'm understand what you must be gone through that night Sanyukta. Jab aaj khud par aaya toh mujhe samajh mein aaya ke kaisa lagta hain jab koi tumhare marji ke bina tumhare saath..." He can't completed feeling guilty.
"I know you can't forget that night but if possible then please forgive me for that night. If you want I can kiss your feet Sanyukta but for God sake please forgive me." He said holding her hand when she kept silent. Randhir understand the meaning of her silence.
"I can understand Sanyukta, tum mujhe itni aasani se maaf nehi kar payogi. Koi vi ladki nehi kar sakti. It's okay, soo jau." He said and wiped his tears and about to go when she hold his hand thus he looked at her confusingly.
"Maine tumhe maaf kiya Randhir." She said when Randhir can't believe on his ears.
"Keya?" He mumbled slowly.
"Maine tumhe uss raat ke liye maaf kiya." She said slowly when a smile appeared on Randhir's face and he hugged her next.
"Thank you Sanyukta, thank you very very much." And with that he cried again. But this time it was happy tears.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
So friends how was the part? Do you like it or not?
So the trust becoming stronger day by day in between then. And Sanyukta forgive Randhir for his biggest mistake. Hope now everything will be fine and love will blooming in between them soon.
