"I'm sorry, I had to lie, otherwise he would have pulled us down for breaking the rule. A furry of questions would have made the situation much worse. They could have informed Maa Sa and Anjali Aunty about this pregnancy. I saved us from their wrath by lying" Krunal explained.

"Krunal my brain is not working" Sanyukta spoke out.

"I will sought out everything. Go for an abortion or give baby for adoption. Seriously, I can't tie you with me for the baby. I won't be able to love this kid as a father. I will only consider it to be a mistake and keep loathing myself" Krunal confessed.

"I don't know what to do? Earlier, I lost my baby when a goon attacked me. Now I am carrying a baby without nuptial, that too from a man whom I don't love" Sanyukta spoke out confused.

"Sanyukta, first let's go to a Gynecologist" Krunal spoke out calmly.

"I need to get myself checked, I suppose I am pregnant" Sanyukta spoke out nervously to the Gynecologist.

"Who is he?" The Gynecologist spoke, looking at Krunal.

"My husband" Sanyukta blurted out.

Krunal looked at her in astonishment.

"Please, wait outside. I will call you after checking up with your wife" The old Gynecologist spoke out.

Sanyukta lied on the cold metal examination table with sweat beads on her forehead.

"Relax, everything will be okay" The Gynecologist spoke out to calm down Sanyukta.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Is everything alright with her?" Krunal questioned.

"Your wife is not pregnant, she got stomach flu" the Gynecologist informed.

"Yes!" Sanyukta and Krunal exclaimed in happiness, hugging each other.

"Weird, for the first time in my career. I am seeing a couple happy after discovering that they are not pregnant" Stunned Gynecologist remarked with wide eyes.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Why did you address me as your husband?" Krunal spoke out with furrowed eyebrows.

"Oh...yeah,I should have spoken that I had a one-night stand with my fake fiancé" Sanyukta replied.

"Fake Fiancé! I thought we were best friends" Krunal pouted.

"Best friend who almost turned into my fiancé forcefully" Sanyukta remarked.

Sanyukta and Krunal laughed together.

"I am booking your flight for Mumbai after 2 days until then take your medicines and get well soon" Krunal spoke out.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"All best for your journey ahead, Stay Strong" Krunal bid Sanyukta a last goodbye.

Sanyukta sat in the plane and reached Mumbai after a long flight.

"Sanyukta why are you not staying in my house?"Kaustuki complained on the call.

"Kaustuki, listen, I will visit you frequently. Secondly, your baby is due, don't burden yourself just take care and I have found the best place for me to live in" Sanyukta reasoned.

Sanyukta stood in front of a small apartment. A smile spread across her face, she opened the door.

She felt nostalgia as she stepped inside. Her eyes looked at the familiar place, soothing her heart.

"Randhir, just put this frame straight on the wall, it's tilted" Sanyukta instructed.

"Let it be, Our earth is also tilted on it's axis" Randhir retorted.

"Okay then me about other planets as well" Sanyukta smirked.

"I don't know about planets, but I am certain that you are my universe" Randhir pecked Sanyukta's cheek.

"You are my universe too Randhir" Sanyukta spoke to herself as tears drizzled her face.

Sanyukta bought the apartment where she lived with Randhir from the son of the old landlord, who wanted to sell off the apartment as his father passed away a year ago.

Sanyukta spent the next day in setting up the apartment. She placed pictures of her and Randhir in the living room.

She kept a photo frame of her and Randhir on the side table of her bed.

Sanyukta looked at Randhir's photo, a teardrop fell on the glass of the frame. She wiped it off with her sleeve. She placed a kiss on his photo," Wherever you are staying, keep shining my love" Sanyukta whispered.

Rupali and Randhir sneaked in the control room of China's secret war room area. A place China secretly made in Shanghai for war planning.

"The room is empty, they left the room for eating dinner" Rupali whispered.

Randhir sat on the central control system to dig up some information.

He saw a secret file and his eyes widened,"Rup, this is all written in Chinese. Read it fast" Randhir spoke out to Rupali.

Rupali exclaimed," What the hell it is!".

"Ssh...don't exclaim. Let's go before someone catches us" Randhir spoke.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sanyukta got dressed for office, a driver and an official car waited for her to step in.

"Madam, I can recommend you a better apartment according to your job profile".

"Social status can't decide where I want to live, this place is special to me" Sanyukta responded.

Sanyukta sat inside, the driver started the car. She reached the office, the tall towering building stood gleaming in the sunshine.

Sanyukta walked into the hallway, a few junior employees greeted her.

Sanyukta then reached a cabin with a name plate which read Sanyukta Aggarwal, Senior Director Head, Mumbai.

She stepped inside and sat on her chair.
"I miss you Randhir, Now I have everything still there is a constant void without you" Sanyukta thought to herself.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sanyukta walked into the conference room, the employees stood up in respect.

"Sit down everyone, I am Sanyukta Aggarwal, new Senior Director Head" Sanyukta spoke out.

Sanyukta concluded her meeting after an hour, explaining how she wants the office to function.

Sanyukta's back faced  everyone when a voice from the entrance spoke out.

"Ma'am, I got late..." A female voice spoke huffing.

"No place for late comers in my team, better be punctual next time" Sanyukta spoke without turning around.

"Ma'am, I am one of the best employees in the office. I am excited to work with you" The late comer employee spoke again.

Sanyukta turned around and said," Make your work speak for yourself, not your words".

"You!" The female employee exclaimed, seeing Sanyukta.

"This is an office not a fish market, sit down" Sanyukta spoke out.

"Sanyukta....you" The female employee stuttered.

"I am your new Senior Director Head. Won't you give me your introduction, Miss?" Sanyukta questioned.

"I am Vidushi Kumar, Sales Manager" Vidushi spoke out with a flustered face.

On the other hand, Sanyukta beamed with a confident smirk on her face.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Kumar" Sanyukta smirked.

"Rupali what was written in that secret file? Tell me fast" Randhir spoke out when both reached to a safer surrounding.
