Randhir smiled seeing her blushing and pulled her head on his chest and peeked it gently.

"Chalo soo jau, it's too late." Randhir said, hugging her carefully.

"Randhir I have to change." Sanyukta whispered.

"Aise hi soo jate hain na, you look so pretty in this saree." He said lovingly when she blushed.

"Siii, gande bacche kahike!" Sanyukta said playfully when Randhir smiled to see her time to time mood swings. He knows it's her mood swings which were changing due to the extreme emotional highs (mania) and lows (depression). She became sad from happiness and furious from calmness in a fraction of second. And he doesn't want to boost up her hormone levels which was harmful for her on this stage.

"Please na, I feel uncomfortable." Sanyukta pouted when Randhir smiled at her cute antics. He got up and started unwrapping her saree. He removed her saree carefully then unbuttoned her blouse and unhooked her petticoat and next she left in her inners only. She was blushing profusely and about to take her change when Randhir stopped her.

"Don't you think that you forgot something?" He asked playfully pointing towards her inners when her cheeks burnt.

"Badmaash!" She eyed him when he smirked.

"You only said that you feel uncomfortable!" He made a puppy face when she blushed.

"May I?" He asked when she lowered her lashes due to shyness.

Taking her silence as a 'yes' Randhir came near her and pulled her in a soothing hug. He gently caressed her back when Sanyukta shivered a little and Randhir smiled to see his effects on her. He dug his face on the crook of her neck and inhaled her scent when she blushed hard. Randhir now started kissing her neckline when he heard the sexiest moan in his life, 'Randhirrrrr' and he immediately pulled back. He was mentally cursing himself for pushing her that edge on her this condition when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

"Umm, jaldi se change kar lo." He said when changed her clothes quickly. They both lay down on the bed when Randhir took her in his arms.

"Aaj kitne dino baad tumne mujhe apne bahon mein liya!" Sanyukta whispered when Randhir smiled brightly but his smile vanished next.

"Sorry, maine bahut hurt kiya na tumhe!" Randhir said slowly.

"Bahut jyada." She replied slowly.

"Tum bhi mujhe hurt karo na, please." He pleaded.

"Kiya toh! Kuch der pehle ki chata bhul gaye!" She replied playfully but Randhir was not in a mood of playing.

"Please Sanyukta, please hurt me. Phir shayad mera guilt thoda sa kam ho jaye!" Randhir pleaded.

"Umm toh phir keya karu, tumhara hath tod du yeah phir pau! Nahi saad hi phod deti hu!" Sanyukta giggled.

"Sanyukta please, I am not kidding." Randhir said became helpless.

"Main bhi nahi. Okay then, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, then what about a heart for a heart! Mere dil todne ke badle mein tumhara dil tod du, phir hisab barabar!" Sanyukta said playfully when Randhir smiled a little.

"I wish you could do that, Sanyukta. But I know how much you love me and you will prefer to die before breaking my heart." Randhir said, kissing her hand.

"Aare tumhe kaise pata, yehi toh mera plan tha, mar ke tumhara dil todna! But tumhe toh sab kuch pata chal gaya, that's not fair!" Sanyukta pouted.

"Do you think it's a joke Sanyukta? Keya maut mazak hain tumhare liye?" Randhir asked angrily.

"No, it's not a joke anymore. It's a very serious situation. Aur waise bhi ek marne wala insan kabhi apne maut ka mazak nahi banata Randhir!" Sanyukta said slowly yet steadily.

"Sanyukta please don't say like that, you will be fine." Randhir said hopefully.

"It's not possible Randhir and you know that too. That's why you gave these much effort." Sanyukta smiled a little and made him confused.

"What do you mean?" Randhir asked confusingly.

"I mean to say, you know I won't make it, that's why you are throwing a fake birthday party. Isn't it?" Sanyukta said when the earth slipped beneath his feet.

"You know it?" Randhir asked shockingly when Sanyukta nodded positively.

"Kab se?" Randhir was shocked.

"Suru se. Saad mein chot laagi hain, that doesn't mean I lost my memory." She said playfully when Randhir was stunned by her words.

"Kuch bola kyu nahi? Mujhe roka kyu nahi?" Randhir asked shockingly.

"Main pagal hu keya jo itni achchhi chance miss kar deti!" She said when he became more confused.

"Kaisa chance?" He asked confusingly.

"To see the love in your eyes for which I was craving since a long time." She said looking straight into his eyes.

"Apne pati ki aankhon mein apne liye pyar aur tadap dono dekhne ka mauka kise milta hai! I am lucky I have this opportunity. Thank you very much for this last gift Rono. Aab mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye." Sanyukta smiled brightly in between her tears when Randhir looked at her blankly.

"What did you say, Rono?" Randhir asked in disbelief, hearing the name from her mouth after a year.

"Haan Rono, mera Rono." Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"That means you, you for-forgive me?" Randhir stammered when Sanyukta gave him a charming smile.

"Haan Rono, tumhari Sanyu ne tumhe maaf kiya." Sanyukta said with a smile when Randhir couldn't believe his fate. He just hugged him impulsively.

"But I don't deserve your forgiveness, Sanyu, I deserve only hatred." He started sobbing like a baby in her embrace.

"Jitni nafrat karni thi humne kar liya Rono, now forget all that happened in the past and live in the present." Sanyukta said, caressing his hair.

"No, it's not that easy, Sanyu. What I did to you it's not easy to forget or forgive. When I myself can't forget all my sins then how could you forget everything so easily? When I am not able to forgive myself then how could you forgive me so easily?" He asked in disbelief when tears rolled down from his eyes continuously.

"It's okay baby, mistakes happen but that doesn't mean we always live with all those grudges and hatred. I lived my life happily with you and now I wish to die with happy memories too. Only happiness around me and no more grudges or hatred." She said lovingly cupping his face.

"No, I don't deserve your forgiveness, Sanyu, I don't deserve it." He cries his heart out.

"Shhh...stop crying." Sanyukta said, putting her one finger on his lips. "You know very well baby that I can't see tears in your eyes, so stop crying." She kissed his eyes one by one and joined their heads.

"But I am the soul reason behind all your tears Sanyu, then how could you forgive me knowing about what I did with you?" He asked, unable to come out from his guilt.

"Rono, I forgive you and that's it. And when I am able to forgive you then why aren't you? Please forgive yourself and there will be no more guilt around you. Only love will be around us, only love." She hushed.

"Only love?" He asked out of blue.

"Yes love, our love." Sanyukta smiled dreamily.

"But I am not worthy of your unconditional and pure love, Sanyu, I am not worthy." He cries his heart out.

"Rono I love you and that's it." Sanyukta said firmly.

"But Sanyu I cheated on you, I hurt you, I left you alone, how did you forget that?" Randhir gulped hard.

"I don't care anymore Randhir. All I know is I loved you, I love you and will always love you." She said with determination.

"Please don't, I won't be worth you." Randhir said, lowering his lashes.

"I can't baby. Bahut kausish kiya ke tumse pyar na karu, bahut kausish kiya ke tumhe bhul jau, bahut kausish kiya ke tumse nafrat karu, lekin kar hi nahi payi. Aab tum isse meri kamjori kaho yeah phir aur kuch I still love you and my love is enough for both of us." Sanyukta stated firmly.

"Nahi Sanyu tum kamjor nahi ho. Maybe you are weak from the outside but you are stronger from the inside. Physically tum weak ho sakti ho lekin mentally tum bahut jyada strong ho. Itna bada gunaah maaf karne ke liye bahut badi dil ki jarurat hoti hain jo kamjor logo ke pass nahi hota. Aare kamjor toh main hu tabhi toh tumhe chhod kar chala gaya tha. I am sorry Sanyu, please mujhe maaf kar do." He hiccups.

"For what Rono, I already forgive you. And don't I tell you to forget the past and live in the present. So stop crying and don't be sad anymore." She wiped his tears when he looked at her.

"But I can't forgive myself." He said honestly.

"Forgive yourself Randhir. If I can forgive you and forget all that, then you could also forgive yourself. Think of it as my last gift. At least try it, for me." Sanyukta said when Randhir hugged her next. He knew she could take her last breath at any moment. That's why she is saying that.

"Okay, only for you." Randhir said when Sanyukta smiled brightly. She looked at him when cupped his face and said,

"Now it's time for my last gift." She said when he smiled.

"Don't say like that!" He said slowly when she smiled.

"Okay then it's time to give you the return gift." She hushed when he shivered. She was about to capture his lips when he stopped her.

"What are you doing?" He asked shockingly.

"I am going to finish what you started." She said when he gulped hard.

"Sanyu please." He wanted to stop her.

"Why, don't you love me?" She asked and became hurt.

"Please don't say that. I love you, I love you more than anyone else." He stated honestly.

"Then what's the problem?" She asked slowly.

"Try to understand baby, you are wounded badly. Itna bada accident aur upar se itna critical surgery. You need to be fit and fine first." Randhir said, holding her hand.

"You are a big bore." She pouted.

"Yes I am, and you have to stay with this big bore for the rest of your life." He said firmly.

"Who told you that! I'll run away from you soon." She giggled when he smiled too.

"Let's see who will win! Till then good night and sleep tight." He said kissing on her forehead and made her lay down on the bed. He also lay down beside her when took her in his embrace. He doesn't know what is going to happen in the future but one thing he knows that he is going to mess the whole world to find a way out to save her till his last breath.

                              * * * * * * * * *

As dawn appeared Randhir slowly opened his eyes and his eyes fell on the angel sleeping next to him and only one thing came to his mind was, "Miracles happen."

"You forgive me Sanyukta, you forgive me. I lost all my hope to get back your mercy but finally you forgive me and that is not less than any miracle." Randhir said in mind when happy tears rolling down from his eyes.

"And now when I myself witnessed the miracle I'll create another one. I will bring you back safe and sound for sure. I will snatch you from death for sure and then we will live happily ever after like those fairytales stories you believe." He smiled brightly when kissed her forehead softly. After some time Sanyukta opened her eyes when saw Randhir was staring at her lovingly.

"Hey!" Sanyukta smiled at him.

"Hey, good morning sunshine. How are you feeling now?" Randhir asked smiling brightly.

"Good morning. Am fine. Waise kya dekh rahe ho?" She asked curiously.

"My favorite view, you." Randhir replied with a smile thus Sanyukta smiled too.

"Now this view is getting gray." She replied playfully.

"For me it's always green." He replied, joining their heads.

"Rono whiskey ko mere paas le aaoge please, kab se uske saath nahi khela!" Sanyukta made a puppy face.

"Consider me as your whiskey, rum, gin and play with me." Randhir said, rubbing his nose with her.

"Very funny." Sanyukta smiled. "Please na!" She pouted next.

"Okay as you wish but after breakfast." Randhir kissed her forehead when Sanyukta smiled brightly. He came out and sent the nurse inside when he spotted Vidushi in the corridor. He rushed to her and hugged her next.

"Randhir what happened, is everything okay?" Vidushi asked curiously.

"I am so happy Vidushi. You know what Sanyukta forgives me. She finally forgave me." Randhir said happily when Vidushi smiled too.

"Really?" Vidushi asked in disbelief.

"Haan Vidushi meri Sanyu ne finally mujhe maaf kar diya. Aab sab kuch thik ho jayega dekhna. Main sab kuch thik kar dunga." Randhir's eyes gleamed with happiness when Vidushi's eyes were moist too.

"Tu aab kuch bhi thik nahi kar sakta, kyu ki tu sirf badbad karna janta hai!" Came Parth's cold reply from behind thus Randhir looked at him.

"I'll fix everything." Randhir replied firmly.

"And how will you do that?" Parth asked curtly.

"I made a decision, Parth. Main Sanyukta ko treatment ke liye foreign le jaunga." Randhir stated firmly.

"Have you lost it Randhir! Suna nahi doctor ne keya kaha, Sanyukta journey nahi kar sakti wo bhi itna lamba. Itna struggle wo jhel nahi payegi!" Parth said firmly.

"Toh keya doctor ki baatein sun kar haath par haath rakh kar baitha rahu aur apne aankhon ke samne Sanyukta ko marte huye dekhu! No I can't." Randhir said bitterly.

"Toh phir tu keya chahata hain, Sanyukta teri zid ki wajah se aabhi mar jaye! Pehle hi apne ego ke niche use til til maar chuka hain, aab keya jaan lekar hi chain milega tujhe!" Parth said furiously when Randhir held his collar.

"Just shut up, meri Sanyu ke ware mein ek bhi galat labz nahi." Randhir's eyes turned dark when Parth's eyes were bloodshot.

"Parth, Randhir keya kar rahe ho tum dono! Agar Sanyukta tum dono ko aaise ladte dekhegi toh phir wo yahi mar jayegi! At least uske liye toh fight mat karo." Vidushi said come in between.

"Main Sanyukta ko foreign le jaunga and that's final." Randhir said firmly.

"Randhir hum sab chahte hain ke Sanyukta thik ho jaye lekin miracles toh sirf kisse kahani mein hi hota hai!" Vidushi said slowly gulping down her pain.

"No Vidushi miracles happen, real life mein bhi. Sanyukta forgave me and it's not less than any miracle. Toh phir uski treatment kyu nahi ho sakti?" Randhir asked impatiently.

"Sab kuch teri marzi se nahi hoga." Parth said firmly.

"Toh phir kya teri marzi se hoga?" Randhir retorted back.

"Nahi, jo bhi hoga Sanyukta ki marzi se hoga. I want to talk to her." Parth said and walked towards Sanyukta's room. He knocked on the door and entered next when saw the nurse was changing her bandages.

"Hey good morning Parth." Sanyukta smiled at him.

"Sanyukta, I want to talk to you." Parth said.

"Haan kaho." Sanyukta replied.

"Umm… wo akele mein." Parth said slowly thus Sanyukta sent the nurse outside.

"Kaho kya bolna hai?" Sanyukta asked when Parth kept mum.

"Parth keya huya?" Sanyukta asked with concern.

"Tumhe keya huya?" Parth asked back when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

"I know Sanyukta it's not my concern, I also know it's between you and Randhir, still I am asking this. Why did you forgive him? He doesn't deserve this, then why?" Parth asked coldly.

"Sit here." Sanyukta said showing him the bed thus Parth sat down beside her. "Naraz ho?" She asked when Parth nodded positively.

"Randhir bhi apne aap se utna hi naraz tha jab use apni galti realize huya tha. I know usne bahut badi galti kiya hain lekin Parth iss duniya mein jaise har ek galti ka saza hota hain waise hi saza ke baad maafi bhi toh hoti hain. Aur Randhir ko uski saza mil chuka hain." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Galti ki liye maafi ho sakta hai Sanyukta lekin gunaah ke liye koi maafi nahi hoti. Uske liye sirf aur saza hota hain. Aur Randhir ne jo gunaah kiya hain uske liye yeh saza bahut kam hain." Parth said furiously.

"Parth hum kaun hote hain kisiko saza dene wale yeah phir maaf karne wale? Wo toh bhagaban ka kaam hain. Aur aaj agar main Randhir ko maaf nahi karti toh phir zindegi bhad wo khud ko maaf nahi kar pata. Aur main nahi chahti ki Randhir puri zindagi regret karta rahe. Main toh jaa rahi hu lekin uske samne toh puri zindegi padi hain. Aur iss gunaah ke ehesas ke saath wo aapni zindegi chain se kaise jee payega! Ghut ghut kar mar jayega wo toh!" Sanyukta said, gulping hard.

"Nahi aisa kuch nahi hoga, hum tumhare better treatment karenge, tum thik ho jayogi." Parth said became impulsive when Sanyukta smiled.

"Tum sab kuch jante ho Parth phir bhi manna nahi chahte toh phir socho Randhir par kya beet rahi hogi! He is very impulsive, kuch karne se pehle kuch sochta nahi aur phir apne aap ko hi saza deta hai. Main nahi chahti ki mere baad puri zindagi wo khud ko saza de." Sanyukta said, holding Parth's hand.

"Itna pyar karte ho usse ke jane ke baad bhi use jeene ka wajah dekar jana chahti ho!" Parth said with moist eyes.

"Pyar se bhi jyada." Sanyukta smiled in between her tears.

"But he doesn't deserve it Sanyu, still you love her so much. Why?" Parth gulped hard.

"Cause love is unconditional Parth. Koi mujhe pyar karega toh phir main usse pyar karungi yeh pyar nahi sauda hai, aur pyar mein sauda nahi hota." Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"But he cheated on you Sanyu, how could you forgive him?" Parth asked in disbelief.

"Cause I was at fault too Randhir." Came her whisper.

"Tumhari galti! Tumne keya galat kiya hain, galat toh Randhir ne kiya tha!" Parth asked confusingly.

"Nehi, galti meri bhi thi Parth. I hide the truth behind my miscarriage from him. Mujhe usse saach chupana nahi chahiye tha! Lekin main darr gayi thi yeh soch kar ke saach janne ke baad kahin wo khud ko na harm kar le. My Rono is so impulsive and I thought he can't forgive himself after knowing the truth, that's why I did this. Aur dekho wahi ho raha hai, aaj Randhir khud ko saza de raha hain." Sanyukta said slowly when Parth was astonished at her words.

"I wish tab main use sab kuch saach saach baata deti, at least tab main thi uske saath use sambhalne ke liye, lekin mere baad kaun use sambhalega? Kahi wo khud ko kuch kar na de!" Sanyukta shivered, thinking the worst.

"Kuch nahi hoga Sanyu, everything will be fine. We will definitely find a way." Parth said, holding her hand when she hugged him.

"Promise me Parth that you will always be with Randhir after me. I know you hate him right now but for me. Wo pehle se hi bahut akela hain use aur akela hone mat dena. Please for my sake. Mera itna haq toh hain na tum par ke tumse kuch mang saku? Please do this favour for me and then I can die peacefully." Sanyukta said when Parth was gulping hard.

"Aisa mat kaho Sanyukta, tumhara pura haq hai." Parth replied thus Sanyukta looked at him.

"Rahoge na uske saath hamesha, mere liye?" Sanyukta asked hopefully.

"Haan rahunga uske saath hamesha, sirf aur sirf tumhare liye." Parth replied when Sanyukta smiled in between her tears.

Randhir who was standing outside the door and listening to everything again fell in love with his wife who is defending him and trying to leave some reason for him to live his life with happiness. But is it possible to live a happy life without her? And the answer is no. But he realized this late beyond anyone could rectify.

*******************************************

My lovely readers hope you are doing well. Sorry for another late update but I am helpless right now.

Now coming to the story please don't get harsh or angry on Sanyukta for her action. She is in love with that person. And if you truly love someone you will forgive her at the end at any cost. Also she is loosing counting so you can't blame her for her decision.

So friends how was the part? Do you like it or not?
