She was looking at him when he turns to her and she turns to look away

Rd-sanyukta....i had no idea about your likings of interior so I just asked them to do with minimum furniture....if you don't like any of it...just tell me and I'll get it done the way you want

Sanyu-its amazing sir....i loved it...thank you

Rd-oh...ok then come and sit sanyukta...I'll see what is there in the kitchen

Sanyu-no sir its ok...I'll check it myself and I am fine

Rd-ok then

Sanyu moves towards the kitchen...it was an open kitchen and she loved the whole coziness of the house...the refrigerator was stocked up with all kinds of fruits and food products and sanyu felt bad about all that she was making him do and the thought about how is she gonna repay for it was starting to bother her

Then rd takes her to a room and keeps her bag there....the bed was well made with a pillow on which "LOVE" was printed and the floor war carpeted neatly

Rd-this is your room sanyukta and samar's room the one opposite to it....i hope its ok

Sanyu-yes sir thank you

Bothe of them go to the living room and sit for sometime

Rd-you luggage from the other apartment will be moved here by the evening and I will tell vidhushi to help you out with it if she is free

Sanyu-thank you sir...

Rd-its ok sanyukta....remeber I am your landlord now..so don't think that I am doing favour(smiling)

Sanyu(smiling back)-well then sir...you are a very generous landlord...such landlords are hard to find...I guess I am lucky

Rd smiles at her talking to him casually for the first since they have met....but he thinks about the thing he has decided to leave her and that thought makes him sad

Rd-amm...ok then sanyukta I think I should leave and if you need anything call karan(he gives her karan's card)

Sanyu(confused on why was he giving her karan's card)-oh.........ok sir...thank you

Rd was walking towards the main door when he calls out to sanyukta

Rd-sanyukta....dont forget to lock the door

Sanyu smiles at how concerned he was for her....was he the same with everyone was what she was asking herself...while her brain was agreeing with the fact that he was but her heart was saying otherwise, which was new to her own self that her brain and heart were not in agreement with each other

She hears his car starting and she runs as fast as she could to the window and peeks at his retreating car and she once again feels alone

She walks into the room opposite to the room rd said was hers....it was a room just a bit smaller then hers but it was equally furnished and there were two towels placed rolled up on the bed...she was about to turn and go out when her eyes fall on a folded paper tucked under the towel

She goes and takes the paper and a bunch of keys similar to sanyu's falls onto the bed, she takes those keys and unfolds the paper....it was a letter for samar

She smiles thinking how close both of them have grown within this small time span and how much rd cares for samar.....if he wanted he could have gone without telling samar anything and who would have questioned him....but here is his letter for her little brother telling him everything clearly....she looks at rd's singnature which was still proudly drawn in such a casual letter and the only thing that was standing out in that letter....she chuckles looking at it and then places the letter back in its place and places the keys on it

Sanyu-randhir singh shekhawat......

She breaths a sigh and leaves to her room to freshen up

Here rd was driving and thinking about how he ended up agreeing to go to China

Flashback

As soon as rd exits FITE to go to the hospital his phone rings and it was flashing Mr. Harsh calling

He presses the receive button

Rd-hello

Harsh-come meet me at the office

Rd-I am on my way to somewhere important

Harsh-and I think you might want to know what I have to tell you

Rd-I don't think so

Harsh-you know someone with the name sanyukta

After that all harsh heard was a silence at the other end, the line was dead and as much as he knows his son....he was half way to him only

Harsh-so you have feelings for her..hmmm

Rd reaches H&R industries, which was a 15 min drive from FITE in 10 mins...harsh was talking to an employ about a report when rd barges in

Harsh(to the employ)-do the changes and get it signed by karan

Employ-yes sir

Harsh-you can leave now

The employ leaves and rd goes and sits in front of harsh

Rd-what about her

Harsh-about who?

Rd(out of frustration)-DAD!! You know who right?

Harsh-DAD?? Oh you know that word

Rd just looks at him unfazed

Harsh-ok fine.....do you know who was that man whom you "tried"to beat to death

Rd-how do you know about that?

Harsh-don't forget that I am your dad rd..its my duty to look after you( rd gives a mocking laugh) anyways that was Rajeev mehra...son of suhasini mehra of mehra industries....do you know what kind of people they are

Rd-ohh...

Harsh-and what do you know about your little student's relation with them

Rd-that he is her ex-husband

Harsh-only that much?(rd nods in a yes)that's only a part of the whole story rd...and Its totally messy rd and to tell you the truth I really don't want you to get tangled into that mess

Rd-that's not your call to make

Harsh-damn it rd, I am your father and yes its not my call but its my call to worry about you....you are the only person that I am living for

Rd-really....is that the thing...but I don't see any of it..i really don't, just tell me why are you all of a sudden worried about me or sanyukta

Harsh-I don't care about that girl...but if you are involved in it then I will care and I will surely try to solve it, here(giving him a file)read it and then decide if it's a mess that you really want to get into

As soon as harsh finishes his sentence his secretary walks in and he didn't see rd sitting there and starts talking

Secretary-sir I really don't think that you should go for this meeting when the doctor has strongly recommended you not to travel

Harsh gives him a strong glare and he stops, that's when rd turns on his chair and wishes his secretary and walks out holding the file but he never leaves... he waits outside for mr chowdary to come out... after good fifteen mins of waiting mr chowdary comes out and rd stops him

Rd-uncle, what were you saying about the doctor

Secretary-oh, but beta...harsh sir has told me not to tell anyone

Rd-just tell me what it is pls uncle

Secretary-back when we were in new York...harsh sir had a silent attack(rd goes stiff)and the doctor said that he should not stress himself too much now and should not travel a lot, that's why he came back here....

Without allowing him to finish rd bursts into harsh's office and mr chowdary walks behind him

Rd-really....silent attack

Harsh glares at his secretary who was looking down in guilt

Harsh-rd...it was nothing major

Rd-yeah right nothing is as major as to inform me...seriously, my mom dying was not major enough to tell me, you having an attack was not major enough to tell me....just remember one thing mr. harsh shekhawat that one day I will also have something not major enough to tell you....and where the hell are you going now(looking at mr chowdary

Chowdary-to china

Rd-fine, I'll go (to harsh)and don't take a wrong notion that I have forgotten anything, you are still my no.1 enemy but I cant afford to loose the only family that I have, uncle pls make arrangements for my departure

Saying that he walks out

Flashback ends

Rd breaths a big sigh and he reaches karan's house and packs his bags and walks out only to find mr. chowdary standing there waiting for him near a black lemo

Rd-uncle I don't need that car...I will go in mine

Uncle-actually harsh sir have send this car for you and even you have to study this project before the meeting

Rd(after thinking for a while)-ok

He sits inside the car and mr chowdary sits opposite to him and gives him the details about the project, and after explaining him everything they go to the office first to drop mr chowdary off but before mr. chowdary get s off he gives him the same file that harsh gave him earlier which he left at the office

Mr.chowdary-harsh sir told me to give this to you

He takes the file and the car again moves towards the airport..rd starts looking through the project file when his glance falls at the file harsh gave him...he takes that file and flips it open only to see a cute and happy photo of sanyukta pinned to the file sheet with a green paper clip

and he didn't like the way it was clipped to the sheet with carelessness but he cant just take that pic away and keep it with him when he has decided to let her go, so he just goes on and tries to read on but his eyes were struck on the picture and that name which was written below it

Here sanyukta was feeling really bored as she had nothing to do until samar arrives, on thinking about samar, her thoughts shift to the letter that was in his room and then her thoughts went to the writer of that letter..but that was broken by the ringing of her phone, she looks at the screen and it was an unknown number but she decides to receive it anyways

Sanyu-hello

Caller-ammm......sanyukta

Sanyu(surprisingly happy)-rd sir

Rd-I am sorry....samar gave me your number last night saying that in case I wanted to check upon you...I am sorry if you didn't like it...but he just saved it into my phone

Sanyu-oh, its ok sir

Rd-is he back yet(asking the obvious)

Sanyu-no sir...there is still 2 hours to go

Rd-right

Both were silent for 2 mins then sanyu asks

Sanyu-actually sir...does he know where to come

Rd-oh yes and don't worry karan will drop him there, so how are you feeling

Sanyu-I am good sir

Here both of them wanted to ask each other the same thing, sanyu wanted to ask about his business meeting at China and when he will be back but she don't know how to bring that topic because if she did he will come to know that she has read the letter while Rd wanted her to know that he was going to China and will not be around for 3 days maximum but he don't want to make himself sound clingy

Rd-oh k then sanyukta....take rest

She knew that he was going to cut the call so she gathered all her courage and says

Sanyu-ok sir, see you tomorrow at college

Rd-oh actually sanyukta...I won't be there for three day at par

Sanyu(knowing the obvious)-ohh...why sir?

Rd(happy about the fact that she asked)- I am going to China for a business meeting

On hearing him answering her happily she felt herself getting happy and she got the courage to talk some more

Sanyu-oh ok sir, when are you leaving

Rd-I am on my way to the airport right now

Sanyu-oh right

Rd-ok then sanyukta...pls tell samar that I'll be back soon

Sanyu-yes sir, bye sir, travel safe

Rd-bye sanyukta and pls save my number in case you need it sometimes

Sanyu yes sir, thank you sir

They hang up and sanyukta saves rd's number in her phone and then decides to take a nap

Here rd reaches the airport and checks in

On the other hand Rajeev Mehra walks out of the police station along with his mother, both of them sit inside the car when Rajeev says....i want to see that bitch first take me to her apartments

Suhasini-are you mad Rajeev, why don't you understand...she is not alone now...we have to be really careful, do you have any idea who that man is

Rajeev-I don't care maa, he will pay for what he did and that bitch will die with my hands

Suhasini-don't be stupid Rajeev....just do whatever you want with her but only after we get what we want...do you understand

Rajeev-ok fine I wont do anything now but I want to meet her right now, take me there now

Suhasini nods to her assistant who was sitting on the passenger seat and he tell the driven the address of sanyu's apartment, as soon as the car stops in front of the apartment...Rajeev sprints inside and towards sanyu's apartment and the watchman comes behind him

He was banging at her door and shouting for her to open the door, then watchman comes and tells him

Watchman-sir, they don't live here anymore, they've moved out

Rajeev(fuming with anger)-moved out...where?

Watchman-I don't know sir

Rajeev takes a flower pot kept near the door and breaks it

Rajeev-you can run from us sanyukta but you cant hide from me forever....i will find you and get what I want and then I'll tear you apart and no one will save you from me this time(he gives a evil smirk and walks out )

He tells suhasini about it and she tells her assistant to try and find out about where she was living.
