"Sanyukta Aggarwal you won't be able to see tomorrow's sunrise" Balan spoke holding Sanyukta's jaw ruthlessly in his claws.

"Get ready to die, go back to your husband,Sanyukta say your prayers, time to go in outer space haha..." Balan poke out trying strangling Sanyukta.

Sanyukta struggled to breathe, Balan kept tightening his grip on Sanyukta's neck.

A strong arm dragged Balan backwards and gave a punch on Balan's face giving a black bruise on his right eye.

"F*cking rascal! You don't deserve to be a part of ISRO!" The junior space sientist Aman exclaimed.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Aman I won't promote you to senior space scientist post!" Balan shrieked.

"Balan Revanth keep your bloody bribe to yourself! Randhir was not a traitor, you are a traitor" Aman replied angrily.

Sanyukta calmed herself, trying to breathe in air.

"Aman, people like you are a boon to society who choose honesty and truth irespective of the consequences" Sanyukta spoke out.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Sanyukta di( elder sister)!" Aman called out.

"Aman Singhal? FITE junior most batch to me" Sanyukta inquired.

"Yes di, How are you? Where is Randhir Bhaiya (elder bhaiya)?" Aman spoke out with excited.

Sanyukta narrated what happened to her and Randhir 3 years ago.

"I will help you in making Balan confession,Di don't worry now, Balan will pay for his cruel deeds" Aman resolved.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Game over, Balan" Sanyukta spoke out with smirk.

"Balan Revanth will be face lifetime ban from ISRO, other world space organizations and engineering fields. For falsely accusing Randhir Singh Shekhawat he will be jailed for 5 years and compensation of 5 crore rupees for failing mission Neptune on purpose and for conspiring against ISRO and India, letting down the whole country" The honorable judge of Supreme Court.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Shoot!" The Chinese commander ordered.

The bullet targeted Randhir but Rupali became his shield, taking all the bullets.

"Leave, just leave. Run for your life,Sanyukta needs you" Rupal's voice trembled, and slowly the breathing stopped, and the heart gave up the will to beat again.

Randhir left alive, hid the Rupali's  dead body behind a bush with teary eyes. He looked at Rupali's lifeless body for one last time.

Then he ran away from predators to reach towards first check post of Indian Army.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"What really?" Sanyukta exclaimed with astonishment.

"Sanyukta Aggarwal you will be the head of space scientist ISRO Neptune mission. Good its good" Vardhan Suryavanshi spoke out.

"You were my teacher in college, and now you will mentor, I am so lucky" Sanyukta beamed with happiness.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"India creates history, mission Neptune is successful" A wave of euphoria hit inside ISRO Space Organization Headquarters,Bengaluru.

"Congratulations, ISRO chief head Vardhan Suryavanshi" Deputy Chief Scientist congratulated Vardhan.

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

"Thank you, Kaustu!" Sanyukta thanked Kaustuki for congratulatory wishes.

"Your welcome Kaustuki. How is my Nephew?"Sanyukta chirped, started the engine of the car.

"Gollu doesn't let me sleep for a second. He keeps crawling around the house. So notorious, like father like son" Kaustuki replied.

Sanyukta giggled and disconnected the call.

She placed the seat belt and straightened up the rear view mirror of the car when she noticed a shadow sitting in the rear seat.

Sanyukta's feet cold, a hooded figure stood behind.

"Who are you!" Sanyukta exclaimed.

"Forgot me this soon...Sanyukta" replied the man revealing his face.

Sanyukta's eyes became the size of saucer," You...am I hallucinating? " Sanyukta spoke out and fainted.

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

A sprinkle on Sanyukta's face made her wake up again.

"You came here...how?" Sanyukta murmured.

"Sush...no words now" a husky voice spoke.

Slowly, the man received a video call" We are honored to have Agent Cheetah in RAW. We invite you both to Rastrapati bhavan(President's residential building) for an official lunch ".

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sanyukta hugged Randhir with happy tears as soon as the video call ended.

"I am so sorry, I love you. Proud of you, I missed so much now won't let you go" Sanyukta spoke out without pause.

To stop Sanyukta's blabber, Randhir pressed his lips on her, making Sanyukta silent.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Mrs. Shekhawat, your husband saved India and world from a destructive. Being a secret agent, we had to hid his whereabouts. What are your thoughts about him?" A PMO female staff asked Sanyukta.

"He is the bravest man in my life. I am married to the best man alive" Sanyukta spoke out with a smile.

"Although secrets Agents live a hidden life and their mission and plans are never disclosed officially, but must say Agent Cheetah did an outstanding job risking everything he had" Prime Minister of India appreciated Randhir.

"Without Agent Sundari's sacrifice it would have died, credit goes to Agent Sundari as well, secondly I am grateful to my mother and wife who suffered without my presence" Randhir replied.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Randhir,who is Agent Sundari?" Sanyukta questioned on their way back to Mumbai.

"She was my mission partner who took all the bullets" Randhir replied blankly.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
At midnight, Sanyukta woke up to find the bed beside her empty.

She walked up to the balcony to find Randhir sitting there teary-eyed.

Sanyukta hugged him from behind," Whatever is running in our mind, just speak it out".

"You will hate me if I share it with you" Randhir replied.

"I will be more upset if you don't speak it out" Sanyukta responded.

"Me and Agent Sundari were pretending to be a couple, and she had to conceive my baby according to the plan. I had a physical relationship with her. Although every time I touched her, I could only think of you. Agent Sundari too knew about my feelings for you. I was not cheating on you" Randhir broke down and Sanyukta stepped backwards stunned.

"It's alright, I understand your situation. You were doing it as part of mission. I know what it is like to lose your unborn baby" Sanyukta stated.

"Thank you, Sanyu, wait...you know the agony of losing unborn?" Randhir blurted out.

Sanyukta bowed her head," I am your culprit, punish me for what I did to you. I discovered was pregnant with your child after ISRO fiasco. In anger, I hid this pregnancy from you. I was a few months pregnant when a goon attacked me and suffered a miscarriage" Sanyukta cried guiltily, not meeting Randhir's eye.
