As soon as Sanyukta left from there Randhir distanced himself from Ishika and said.

"I....I'm sorry Ishika." Randhir said looking away when Ishika became shocked. She came closer to him and cupped his face.

"What happened Ron, anything bothering you? You can tell me." She said when Randhir looked at her.

"I'm sorry Ishika for what happened, I has to stay in my limits, I'm sorry." He felt guilty for the drama which he did to hurt Sanyukta when Ishika smiled.

"Ron we are not kids, we are mature enough aur jo kuch vi huya yeah phir yeh kahu ke jo kuch vi ho sakta tha wo hum dono ke marzi se hota so you don't have to feel guilty." Ishika said when Randhir look down in embarrassment.

"Ron I know why you feel awkward cause you still consider me as your friend but the truth is I still love you." Ishika said when Randhir looked at her shockingly.

"Ishika!" He whispered.

"Yes Ron that day you told me that I'm changed a lot. Maybe I am but my heart wasn't. I still love you Ron." Ishika said and hugged him tight when Randhir was speechless.

Sanyukta was crying silently but after sometimes she stopped crying. She wiped her tears and sat down on the bed.

"Why are you crying Sanyukta, you have to be happy for them. You have to be happy for Randhir sir. Chalo koi toh unnki life mein hain jo unnhe mere diye huye dhoka aur zakham se dur rakhega. Koi toh hain jo unnhe haar dukh dard se dur rakhega aur wo saari khusiya dega jo main unnhe kabhi nehi de sakti. Mujhe toh khush hona chahiye, yeh aasu kiss liye!" She wiped her tears and smiled.

                              * * * * * * * * *

As night grew everyone get back to their respective rooms. Randhir was laying on the bed and was thinking about Ishika, actually about her words.

"Randhir I know you loved someone and that girl left you after broke your heart. Maybe I can't take her place in your life but want to stay with you forever as a good friend. I just want to remove those pain from your heart given by her or nothing else."

"Kitna difference hain Sanyukta aur Ishika mein. Ek Sanyukta hain jisse maine itna pyar kiya, lekin usske badle keya mila mujhe, sirf dhoka aur kuch nehi. Aur ek taraf Ishika hain jiska dil maine tora tha but wo aaj vi mera kitna care karti hain, mujhse unconditionally pyar karti hain. Aur main hu ke usse badle mein kuch nehi de sakta!" He sighed in disappointment recalling her words but something strikes in his mind to get rid of his painful past.

"Kyu nehi de sakta main Ishika ko wo khushi jo wo mujhse chahati hain! Aagar Sanyukta ki dil mein mere liye koi jagah nehi toh phir main kyu usski yeeado ko aapne dil main zinda rakhu! It's high time to show Sanyukta that she has no place in my heart so as my life. Jab wo uss Sameer se shaadi kar sakti hain toh phir main kyu Ishika ke saath move on nehi kar sakta?" He asked himself and concluded after whole nights of thinking and smirked imagining her pale face when he'll announce his decision.

                             * * * * * * * * *

Next morning Randhir came for the breakfast and saw everyone there along with Sanyukta. As she is fine now so Arpita forced her to take breakfast with all.

"So you are here Sanyukta, very good now I want to see how your face become colourless hearing this." He said in mind and smirked.

"Everyone I want to say something." Randhir said thus everyone looked at him. He took a deep breathe and looked at Sanyukta once who is seems to be busy in her work.

"I don't want to do this Sanyukta but you don't left any option for me. I love you but you... Just leave it. I'm also not a love seek puppy who will cry for you the whole life. Just wait and watch I'll give you a befitting reply." He groaned in mind.

"Bhai aap keya bolne wale ho?" Arpita asked thus he came back to his senses.

"Umm wo nanny aap chahati thi na ke main shaadi kar lu so I'm ready for it. Am decided that I'll marry Ishika." He said and moved his gaze to Sanyukta but didn't saw any reaction as if she didn't heard anything.

Nanny gasped to heard this and looked at him in disbelieve when he look down and concentrate on his breakfast.

"Shaadi wo vi Ishika Khanna se?" Arpita asked surprisingly.

"Why, do you have any problem?" He asked annoyingly.

"No bhai why I have any problem, it's just usse shaadi karne ke liye N.R.I ki lambi line lagi huyi hain aur wo aapse shaadi kar rahi hain!" She shrugged her shoulder.

"Not everyone is hungry for money, har koi paiso ki bhuki nehi hoti hain Arpi, some have golden heart too just like Ishika." He said taking a glance of Sanyukta who seems to be busy in her work much to his irritation. She gave a glass of milk to Arpita when she made a face.

"Di please, I'm tired of it." She said irritatingly.

"I won't heard anything Arpita, you are not alone now so you have to drink it." Sanyukta said thus Arpita drank it halfheartedly. Randhir saw that.

"All fake, huhhh!" He murmured under his breath.

"Jabse tumne Arpita betiya ki responsibility liya hain main toh ekdam tension free ho geya hu." Nanny said happily to Sanyukta ignoring Ishika's topic thus raised Randhir's anger.

"Nanny I don't know ke aapne Arpita ki dekh bhal karne ke liye new maid rakha hain!" Randhir smirked looking at Sanyukta when she kept mum.

"Randhir mind your tongue, you can't disrespect her like this." Parth said furiously.

"Sorry Parth but disrespect toh usska kiya jata hain jiska koi respect ho!" Randhir said sternly when Parth clenched his jaw. Sanyukta sensed the storm and stopped Parth.

"Parth stop, please don't be childish. Sir is right. Main pehele vi yeha sirf ek employee thi aur aaj vi wohi hu." She said slowly when Parth left the breakfast table in anger.

"Bhai what have you done?" Arpita said and followed Parth when nanny left the place also.

"It's all because of you, I just hate you." Randhir said angrily when she look down.

"I'm sorry sir." She said slowly.

"At my room in 5 minutes." He said and left from there when she was stunned by his words.
