The rain hit against the horizon and a bright rainbow adorned the sky. Sanyukta saw the rainbow, trying to search those colors in her life.

To her dismay, her life felt colorless in contrast to that rainbow.

A sigh escaped her lips, she opened an old file again with a deep breath.

"Maa, I am not feeling well" Sanyukta spoke out, feeling nauseous.

"What!" Anjali exclaimed in amusement.

"Yes Mrs.Aggarwal, your daughter Sanyukta is pregnant" Gynecologist confirmed with a smile.

Sanyukta walked out of the clinic completely wrecked. She didn't know whether to be happy, angry, or sad on her fate.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Sanyukta you left Randhir after he got pleaded guilty but now share this news with him. He deserves to know" Anjali spoke out to Sanyukta.

"Maa, he don't deserve anything! I won't tell him" Sanyukta snapped.

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

Sanyukta then looked at scans of her baby at 4 weeks. Her eyes gleamed with tears by remembering her emotions of being a mother.

Her mobile rang, making her come back to the reality. 'Maa' flashed the screen.

"Hello Maa" Sanyukta spoke out.

"Come home fast" Anjali spoke out crying.

"What happened Maa!" Sanyukta exclaimed.

"Kishor suffered heart attack, his situation is grave" Anjali replied between of hiccups.

"Don't worry Maa, he'll be alright, I am coming home" Sanyukta spoke out emotionally.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sanyukta quickly booked a flight to Noida not wasting a minute. She knew it was Kishor's second heart attack, silently she prayed for his well-being.

Kishor had stopped talking to Sanyukta after she broke ties with Randhir.

Deep down in the heart, Sanyukta knew Kishor was angry with her because he cared for her daughter and wanted her to be settled happily in her life.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sanyukta quickly made her way to her home in Noida. On the way, nobody was picking up the phone.

An ominous feeling clutched her heart, throwing away all her negative thoughts, she waited for her family to show up.

Sanyukta sat on the swing of the front garden since the entrance is locked up. The swing had special memories of
Sanyukta and her father.

"Papa,swing it faster" 8-year-old Sanyukta giggled.

"Here my daughter flies" Kishor replied and pushed the swing with more power from behind.

"Princess Sanyukta is ready to fly. One day, a prince charming will take you away" Kishor spoke out, thinking deeply.

"No, I will be with you forever dad" Sanyukta pouted.

"Sanyukta that prince will keep you happy, one day you will have to leave this house" Kishor explain little Sanyukta.

"Then I will take you and Maa along with me" Sanyukta spoke out.

"No, you can't take us along with you" Kishor responded with a chuckle.

"Then I will make the prince stay here" Sanyukta spoke out with wit.

"Sanyukta dear time will teach you everything" Kishor spoke out.

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

Horn of a vehicle woke up Sanyukta who slept on the swing. She quickly got up.

An ambulance was standing at the entrance. Sanyukta peeped to see her father.

Her feet turned cold, Ankit and Anjali were weeping alongside of Kishor who seemed like taking a deep nap.

Anjali saw Sanyukta looking at Kishor,she exclaimed," Everything is gone,Sanyukta you took too long to
return home".

A thunderbolt fell on Sanyukta paralyzing her to react, she stood like a statue.

A few neighbors and Ankit carried Kishor's mortal remains for last rites. Anjali was inconsolable while Sanyukta was like a solid rock not reacting to anything or anyone.

In a second, you went away
A lot was left to say,

You went away without giving me a hug or a smile,
I wish I knew how life is too fragile,

Did you remember me in those last moments?
Were you still angry with me? No one will ever answer me these questions and I will lament.

The emptiness my heart holds now is biggest
The loneliness that surrounds me is scariest,

Just return for once to bless me again
To assure me that you are here to kill all demons,
To embrace and love your little princess again.
