Saying he left for washroom living a confused and sad sanyukta behind him. On one hand she wanted to save her marriage and on the other she don't live in this house like a another girl in his life. With whom he will lived but not love.

Sanyukta woke up late around ten in the morning. She open her eyes and saw misha sitting beside her. she smiled once remembering how they both used to sleep beside each other in their college. Wait what misha is doing here. They were in shekhwat mansion and not in their hostel room. She sat on the bed and catch the attention of misha who was busy in her thoughts.

Sanyukta (confused): mishu...why are you here and how come I slept till late..you should have wake me up...

Misha: no worry madam! Your dear husband had already told everyone that you didn't slept last night as you were taking care of him..so he only told everyone not to disturb you..

Suddenly the incidents of the morning flash in her mind. She has to take a decision. A decision that will change her life for sure. Her thoughts were disturbed by misha.

Misha (awkwardly): sanyu you know right...about today's day..i have come here to remind that only..

Sanyukta (nodded her head): I know misha..but don't you think I should not come there..you know how randhir ji is..may be he will not like it...

Misha: I know how he is but I think you should come..after all you are also a part of this family..so I am leaving now you get ready and come with the driver..

She took her shower and wore a plain sari. she came down and found the living room vacant indicating the absence of the family. She left for the temple with the driver. When she reached there her heart thudded with the thought of facing him. She reached the temple and saw the family. Their faces held sadness. They were in grumpy mood. Everyone was siting on the floor and randhir clad in a simple kurta –pajama and was doing the pooja as instructed by the priest. Huge photo of a woman was placed in between and the priest were busy chanting the mantras.

When randhir eyes met with the sanyukta he got shocked. He instantly looked at misha who look down clearing his confusion. All family members were confused to see her here but soon realized that who must have called her here. Renuka was crying softly remembering her dear sister maya, who was no longer the part of their life since last fifteen years. She was a integral part of the family. Fifteen years back her tragic death has changed everyone's life. Unable to stand there for more she left the temple and came outside. Sanyukta came hugged renuka who was crying.

Renuka (still crying): I miss her very much sanyukta..she was my elder sister..she was like another mother for me..

Sanyukta (rubbing her back): mumma please..don't cry like this please...I can understand how you must be feeling but please you have to take care of everyone.

Renuka: no sanyukta! you don't know anything. How many favors she had done for me. For my happiness., she has given me her her home...her family..and even her husband

Sanyukta: I know everything mumma..misha had already told me everything.

Renuka: no sanyukta..let me speak today...it had been fifteen years now to that incident..my father arranged my marriage with vardhan suryavanshi...like every girl I also had many dreams in my eyes...dreams of a happy married life..but may be destiny had stored something else in our fate. I felt complete when I was blessed with twins, parth and misha. After nine years of our marriage my husband left me saying that things are not working out between us and he loves someone else. I was just a burden on him which was imposed by his family. I was alone sanyukta (she sobs)..he threw me out of his life with my 8 years old kids. Maya di took me and my kids to her home and then I started living with them. misha used to love her dad a lot. she was a princess to her father. But when her father choose that woman over her. That day my baby lost her father. She started hating him with all her strength. Slowly she started loosing her smile..her liveliness. I used to be so worried for her but then she got her hero in the form of randhir. randhir was elder to them and some how he was also matured enough to understand her pain. he started taking care of her. and slowly she became her brother's princess. You know randhir was never like this. he was the naughtiest child in childhood. He was the chirpy bird of the house. we hardly see him walking because most of the time he used to jump from one place to another place like a monkey. (she chuckles remembering the old days)You know earlier misha used to a very quiet kid. It was randhir only who taught her to do pranks and all those naughty things.But one day everything got changed. One day di was coming back from market and her car got hit with a truck. She was in a very critical condition. In her end time she took promise from me and harsh to get married. she took promised me to become randhir's mother. I married harsh and became shekhawat family's daughter-in-law..harsh's wife but I failed to become randhir's mother.he hates me sanyukta..he hates me very much...he thinks that I have snatched his mother's place. After our marriage randhir distant himself from us. That is the reason parth and randhir never get along with each other. Slowly randhir lost all his innocence. He became rude and arrogant. Its been so many years but he never accepted me as his mother. We thought that with time we will forget everything and will except me but we were wrong with time he became more ruthless.(crying badly) I failed to fulfill my promise sanyukta..i had disappointed my di (elder sister). She will never forgive.

Sanyukta (sobbing): no mom..why are you saying this? you have performed all your duties so well...no one can look at you and say that randhir ji is not your son. Trust me one day he will accept you with open arms(wiping her tears): now stop crying and let's go inside..everyone must be looking for us.

When they reached in the temple..everyone was showering flowers on maya frame. Except randhir who was standing at a distant and looking constantly at his mother face. His eyes welled up remembering his golden childhood days when his mother was alive. He was a mumma's boy...his days used to start and end with his mumma..they were a perfect family..until that unfortunate night when he not only lost his mother but also lost his father to another woman..he has to share his father with other kids. Unable to hold his emotions for long He left the temple and went outside. Sanyukta was observing him only. her heart ache seeing him in this condition. Whatever he was, whatever he did, he is wrong, he is rude but at the same moment he was like a small kid who lost his mother forever and don't know how to express his feelings.

She also come out of the temple to keep a check on him. She saw him standing aloof with his back facing her. He glanced at her once and then again turned his back. He was afraid that she will read his pain that he never allowed anyone to see. He wanted to push her out so that she could not see the scared and lonely randhir behind this facade.

Sanyukta : I am sorry about your mother..you know randhir ji you have got your mother's eyes.

Randhir (angrily): go from here sanyukta..just leave me alone..i don't want to talk to anyone right now

Sanyukta: its okay randhir ji..i know its very difficult for you..i can understand your pain (before she could complete her sentence her wildly held her forearms..his nails piercing her delicate skin)

Randhir: shut up okay just shut up..no one can understand the pain of losing your mother..no one understand what you go through when you loose your parents. One moment you have all the happiness of the world and another moment your world crash down. No one knows whats it like to burn your mother's body..that mother who loved you the most in the world..maa who taught you to eat, sleep, walk and everything..ma who did everything to make you happy. No one can understand what it is like to enter into the same house without your mother, where you lived with her and you know she will not come to the same very house..( shout in tears)..NO BODY UNDERSTAND THIS..BUT THEY SHOW YOU..THEY SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU AND YOU ARE NO LESSER THAN THOSE..HOW COULD YOU KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO PERFORM YOUR MOTHER BARSI (death anniversary)RITUAL WHOM YOU HAVE LOST AT THE AGE OF TEN..(he shrugs her) JUST GET LOST..I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FACE..GO WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO..BUT FOR HEAVEN SAKE JUST LET ME LIVE IN PEACE FOR ONE DAY

Sanyukta was afraid of his wild behavior feels like she has lost all her voice...her legs were shaking..tears were continuously flowing from her eyes..not to disturb him more she left from there. Sanyukta came back wiping her tears..she don't them to get upset. She was walking towards the main entrance when harsh called her

Harsh: sanyukta can you please hold this pooja thaal. I have to make an urgent call.

She noded her head and took pooja thaal from him. Randhir who was coming down saw her holding the thaal and got angry. He stride towards her angrily and snatched it.

Randhir: don't you get it at once just leave from here and let me perform my maa barsi peacefully..am I asking too much from you..just go

Sanyukta felt very bad after listening to his words. Without saying anything she left the temple. Parth heard everything. Randhir turn and saw him. he ignored him and entered into the temple. They all sat for the pooja (worship)

Harsh: where is sanyukta? She need to sit with randhir for pooja

Randhir: dad it does not matter to me if she is hear or not..lets start the pooja

Harsh: randhir I did not asked your opinion..where is she?

parth: dad..actually she was not feeling well..so she left for home

Randhir ( was taken back): dad lets not waste time and start the pooja

The pooja was ended. Randhir was standing when parth came in front of him

Parth : what was that bhai..how can you just ask her to leave like this..she is also a part of this family...

Randhir: I don't want her near me and that's the simple answer I can give you..now please don't irritate me

Misha (joining them): what happened parth bhai?

Parth (angry): he told her to stay away today because he don't want to see her face and interfere in badi maa's barsi (big mom's death anniversary)

Misha ( with a lump in a throat): he told her to go..i thought...she must be feeling suffocating here..she must be feeling upset seeing the barsi atmosphere

Randhir: why would she feel upset misha..please stop giving her so much of importance...in fact look at her guts..she came to me and said that she can understand my pain and that I inherited my eyes from maa and all that shit..who is she to speak between my matters

Misha's eyes turned wide and she held parth arms. Her eyes got filled with tears

Misha: bhai please bring her back. We need to look for her.

Randhir (in careless tone): ohh please misha..she is not a small kid..why do you care for her so much?

Parth (in angry tone): bhai when you don't know the truth..you don't have any right to question her

Randhir( in same angry tone): watch your tone parth..don't forget I am elder than you..and about which truth you are talking?

Misha (screamed): she too have lost her father at the tender age of eleven..her father died out of cancer..so Mr randhir singh shekhawat if any one of us can understand your pain than its only sanyukta..

Randhir eyes went wide and stood there dumbfounded and shocked

Misha: yes she don't have her father and she is not blood related to agarwals and yes ankit is not her real brother..her mother get married to kishore uncle when her father's family refuse to take their responsibility..(looking at parth): bhai please bring her back. I don't know how she must be feeling now.

Everyone gave randhir disgusted look.

Renuka: I feel sorry for her randhir. I know what she must be feeling now. After all like me she is also married to a monster who does not love..does not care for her and hurt her every time. If she didn't show her pain randhir then it does not mean that she had lived a fairy tale life.

Parth: dad I asked the maid but they said that she is not at home. She is not even at her parental home. In fact she had not taken the driver too along with her. only god know where she is..

Misha (angrily march towards randhir and clutch his collar): listen to me very carefully..if anything happened to her then I will never see your face in my life. What have you given her in this relation only pain..humiliation..mom is right men like you are monster...do you have any idea what she must be going through...( wiping her tears) its all my fault..all my fault. It was me who had brought her in your life. It was me who forced you to marry her. if I wouldn't have made you both married then today she must be living a happy married life with someone. I thought only sanyukta can fill your life with colors. And look what I have done just to make my brother's life good..i spoiled one innocent's girl life.

Harsh who was throwing fire from her eyes now grab randhir wrist and walk down towards the enterance of mandir and pushed him

Harsh: RANDHIR SINGH SHEKHAWAT GO AND BRING SANYUKTA. I WANT THE DAUGHTER- IN LAW OF THIS HOUSE BACK AND THAT TOO IN SAFE CONDITION. IF YOU FAIL TO DO SO THEN NO NEED TO COME BACK.
