Randhir stood outside her room and knocked the door twice but there was no reply.

Again, he knocked the door "Please Vidushi, leave me alone!" came the voice of Sanyukta from inside thinking "it must be Vidushi again."

Randhir "It is not Vidushi Sanyukta, Can you please open the door?" asked.

There was no reply for it but, just then door knob clicked and it opened.

Sanyukta stood with red eyes due to crying.

Randhir came in and kept the food tray on the table there.

Sanyukta "You..At this time...Is everything fine?" asked thinking "Did I do any mistake telling everyone that he is my future husband?" worriedly.

Randhir "Don't worry! You didn't do any mistake, I am very happy that you told everyone that I am your Future husband!" answered her question before she voice out her thought which was bubbling in her mind.

Hearing the reply, Sanyukta's eye widened in a shock "What the? How does he know that I was thinking that?" thought again.

Randhir smiled a bit "Because, I know you very well Sanyukta!" said looking deeply in her eyes.

Sanyukta shivered slightly looking at his eyes which had his unsaid love for her.

Randhir came forward and held her hand made her sit on the sofa and started placing the food on the plate "You know Sanyukta, this world is so cruel; you won't be able predict anything what is going to happen in the future and you will not able to change the past but, you can live your present happily if you really dare! (He mixed the rice with curry forwarded the spoon to her mouth signaling het to eat as he continued his talk) Everyone would say 'forget it! It is past, move on' to see our loved ones sad because of our misery we try to be normal ; Smile like usual and play with them but when the time comes we cry over past. But, in this process we destroy our own happiness and as well as loved ones happiness. Do you know that?" Asked feeding her slowly who was eating like a kid when her mother tells her some story.

Sanyukta signaled through her head in denial while eating.

Randhir "When our loved ones gets to know that it was always because of them we were acting to be happy it would hurt them the most as acting to be happy is like walking over the nails with barefoot!" said feeding last spoon of the food.

Randhir took the glass of the water and made her drink that also.

Randhir "So, it is better to sit with our past rather than acting to be happy. But, if you really want to move on in your life then don't act to be happy and cry over the past. Be firm and determined to achieve your happiness and give happiness to your loved ones". Said

Sanyukta looked at him with her eyes moist, Randhir came forward kissed her forehead "Good night". Said and left the room leaving Sanyukta in her thoughts.

RANDHIR'S THOUGHTS

Parking his car at the side lane of the lonely road, closing his eyes and leaning back on the seat letting his muscle rest from the stiff posture he took a deep breath.

"I have done my part on explaining how it feels to keep things to us will just pain more just like how my mom explained to me when I used to do the same thing over everything I faced......I hope she gets over this and share her pain" thought relaxing.

Starting the car and drove to his home.

SANYUKTA'S THOUGHTS

Sitting on the bed her whole system was pondering over the words and the meanings related to it what Randhir has told her now.

Her mind travelled to all those days back when:

1)    She used to lock herself in the room and cry thinking about her mother and the time she spend with her.

2)    The tortures that she has gone through when Vidushi's parents ill-treated her.

3)    The teasing that she faced from her classmates and other people for not having parents.

4)    Then today, all those words from Ishika's fiasco.

"I have kept all these things to me only; I have never shared any kind of feelings to anyone till today and always I kept my smile on because I did not want to hurt my loved ones But, is it true I am hurting them in this way?" questioned herself.

She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes to get answers but none came.

Next morning,

Sitting at the lonely bench, Sanyukta looked at the kids playing in the park with their family happily thinking deeply.

Just then she saw a girl crying as some glass piece has pierced and her mother standing next to her telling "dear, please let me take out the glass piece" said inching near her feet.

But, the girl pushed away "No, let it be there if you take it out it will pain" said crying.

Mother "No dear, when you are taking out it will pain but when you completely take off, the pain will subside and will go forever" said holding her feet taking out the glass piece.

Sanyukta breathed heavy, she felt a pang on her heart as she understood what she was doing till today keeping her pain to herself and hurting her and loved ones also. Tears rolled out of her eyes as the realization hit her hard, she was about to bang her hand on the bench out of frustration but a hand come and held her. She looked up to find the same eyes which always reflect his love for her.

Sanyukta stood up and hugged him tight letting her nails pierce him but he didn't care and hugged her back with all his strength.

Sanyukta "Randhir..Randhir...Why? Why did these things happen with me? What did I do?... Why does everyone hate me?... Why did Ishika do that? ...Why did aunty and uncle (Vidushi's parents) hate me so much? Why did they torture me?... Why? ...Why did mom leave me? I loved her so much! I miss her Randhir...I want her...I really miss her..Tell her to come back....I love her...I miss her a lot!" cried on his shoulder finally letting out her all pain she carried till now.

Randhir's eyes got moist hearing her emotional breakdown "SHH...it is fine..." said caressing her back in assurance.

Sanyukta sobbed in his arms just like a small baby and slowly calmed down as cooed her slowly.

They were in the utmost corner of the park so no one noticed their presence.

Randhir pulled back from the hug and took her to his car slowly. Making her stand properly he went to other side of the car and brought water bottle and made her drink some water.

He wiped her tears and said "I will be always there for you Sanyukta!" kissed her forehead.

Randhir made her sit in the passenger seat and drove the car towards Kashyap Mansion.

Reaching there, He found a sleeping Sanyukta who is in deep sleep; without disturbing her sleep he carried her in his arms inside to find Vidushi and Parth sitting in the hall, got panicked seeing an unconscious Sanyukta but Randhir shushed them.

Carrying her to the bedroom tucked her in the bed safely with a blanket.   

Walking out he explained to Vidushi and Parth that he went for his usual jog and found Sanyukta seated and the incident that took between the small girl and her mother resulting in her Emotional Breakdown to the sleep.

The trio looked at the Peaceful face of Sanyukta and wished for everything to be normal.
