After ending her performance Rosy went back to the green room. She sat in front of the mirror and looked at her image. But that for a second, as soon as she remembered those lusty glances and dirty touches she closed her eyes and hot droplets rolled down from her eyes. People always praised her voice, her beauty but no one never saw the tears behind her fake smiles.

"Wow Roja you are just amazing." The bar owner came thus she quickly wiped her tears and maintain a straight face.

"Your voice, your beauty, your looks you are just a killer Roja." The bar owner said excitedly thus she forced a smile.

"Okay pack up for tonight, see you tomorrow evening." The bar owner said thus Roja nodded positively when he left.

Yes Roja, Roja D'Souza who compelled to live a fake name in front of this society.

Roja removed her make up and changed quickly and came out from the bar. She was waiting for an auto when three people came out from the bar. Roja was stood there when their eyes fall on her.

"Hey you are that bar singer right?" One of them asked.

"What's your name Rosy right?" Another one asked.

"Wow what a voice, lovely." One of them said sweetly.

Roja understand that they were drunk so she about to leave from there when one person caught her hand.

"Hey where are you going babes?" That person asked.

"Leave me, I said just leave my hand." Roja said angrily.

"Aare itna sweet voice aur itna rude behavior, come on hum tumhe lift denge na baby!" The person said when lurking over her body.

"I said just leave my hand." Roja started strangling.

"Hey baby come on, wo 100 ka note lete waqt toh koi problem nehi thi, aab haat lagaya toh keya problem hain, if you want iss baar 500 ka note de sakte hain!" The man smirked devilishly when she felt helpless.

"Leave me."

She tried to free herself when the man who caught her hand received a hard punch on his face and fall on the ground. Roja turned and saw the man whom she saw sometimes before sitting at the extreme corner of the bar and lost in own thoughts. She got panicked when Randhir came in between of her and those three men.

"Hey hero humne isse pehele dekha toh humara turn pehele, tu baad mein aana." Another man said when Randhir looked at them with fiery eyes.

"Isski marzi ke khilaf isse haat laga kar toh dekh, zindegi bhar ulte haat se khana khayega." Randhir said an icy cold voice hiding the girl behind him.

"Hum toh haat lagayenge, dekhte hain tu keya karta hain?" The another man said and came forward to catch her hand when Randhir kicked him in between his legs and the man fall on the ground. Randhir started beating them black and blue thus they ran away when Randhir wiped his sweaty face and looked at Roja.

"Jab aapne aapko khud protect nehi kar sakti toh raat ko ghar se bahar kyu nikalti ho?" He asked in a cold voice thus she lowered her lashes.

"Waise vi bar mein gaane wali ladkiyo ki izzat karne wale bahut kam hote hain duniya mein!" Randhir said again coldly when she looked at him with painful eyes.

"Koi vi ladki aapni marzi se yeh sab nehi karti hain sir, majburi mein karna padta hain!" Roja replied slowly.

"Log majburi ka bahana aapni galti chhupane ke liye dete hain!" Randhir said sternly thus Roja tightened her face.

"Achchha toh phir aap bataiye aabhi jin logo ko aapne pita unnki keya mazburi thi jo wo mujhe force kar rahe thay, aur aapki keya mazburi hain jo aap itni raat ko aapne ghar ke wajaye iss bar mein hain?" Roja asked thus Randhir kept mum.

"Advice dena aasan hain sir but usse follow karna bahut mushkil." Roja said and left when Randhir stood there numb. He starts his car and again driving aimlessly. After sometimes he came near the sea beach and stopped his car.

"Saach hi toh bol rahi thi wo ladki, main usse keya sahi aur galat ka phadak bata raha tha jab ke main khud itni badi galti karke baitha hu!" He smiled at his own self and don't know when he dozed off in the car.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Morning crept in and sun rays fall on Randhir's face thus he blinked his eyes. He sat up and wiped his face when he remembered the last encounter between his and Sanyukta. He starts his car and came back to the mansion. As soon as Randhir entered at the mansion he meet with Arpita.

"Ron where were you? Kaal se kaha ho, airport vi nehi aaya! Kitne calls, massages kiya pata hain? Aunty bahut naraz hain tumse!" Arpita said worriedly.

"Arpi I'll talk to you later but aabhi mujhe Sanyukta se bahut important baat karni hain." Randhir said and about to go when Arpita said.

"But Sanyukta toh aapni ghar chali geyi." Arpita said thus Randhir looked at her shockingly.

"Keya ghar chali geyi, achanak?" He asked shockingly.

"Haan usse ghar jana tha toh aunty ne bhej diya." Arpita shrugged her shoulder when Randhir rushed towards their room.

He came to their room and opened the cupboard and saw her side was empty, there was nothing left which belongs to her. Randhir closed the cupboard and sat on the bed with a thud.

"No you can't leave like this Sanyukta." His voice broke.

"Bhabhi Sanyukta aaise kaise bina bataye chali geyi?" Randhir asked entered at Anjali's room.

"Pahele tum batao tum kaha thay puri raat? Pata hain kitna tension ho rahi thi hum sabko, specially mom ko!" Anjali asked worriedly.

"Wo sab baad mein bhabhi pahele aap batao Sanyukta chali kyu geyi?" He asked impatiently.

"Aare Randhir tum toh aaise puch rahe ho jaise Sanyukta humesa ke liye ghar chhod kar chali geyi! Usska mann udas tha issi liye mom ne Sanyukta ko jane diya, aah jayegi kuch din mein wapas." Listening this Randhir's fasten heartbeats came to a holt.

"But wo mujhe bol kar vi toh jaa sakti thi!" He murmured under his breath.

"As if wo bolti aur tum usse jane dete!" Anjali said mockingly.

"Lekin usse jane ki aaisi vi keya jaldi thi?" He asked next.

"Wo tum dono ka exam samne hain iss liye wo ghar chali geyi padai karne." Anjali replied.

"Toh yeha pe keya problem hain, wo yeha vi toh studies kar sakti thi na?" Randhir asked surprisingly.

"As if tum usse studies karne dete!" She chuckled hard.

"Keya matlab?" Randhir looked at her confusingly when Anjali nodded a no.

"Wo kuch bol kar geyi?" He asked curiously.

"Nehi kuch nehi but aab tum yeh socho ke tum mom ko keya bologe, bahut naraz hain tumse." Anjali said when Randhir left the room without said anything.

"Aare aajeb hain yeh ladka!" Anjali sighed.

Randhir went directly Ragini's room and saw her doing the packing.

"Di yeh packing, keya aap vi jaa rahi ho?" He asked confusingly.

"Haan." She replied shortly.

"What the hell, sab ek ek karke jaa rahe ho, kaal Parth chala geya, phir Sanyukta aur aab aap vi jaa rahi ho?" He asked surprisingly.

"Iss mein itni surprise hone wali keya baat hain Randhir, mujhe toh wapas jana hi tha, tumhari aur Sanyukta ki shaadi mein aayi thi, bahut din ho gaye, mom ne holi ke liye roka tha but aab jana hain." She replied while doing the packing.

"Di....wo Sanyukta ne jane se pehele kuch bola tha keya?" He asked slowly.

"Nehi kuch khas nehi, bass mamuli baatein." Ragini said when Randhir felt little relaxed.

"Lekin aagar wo tumse naraz hoke ghar geyi hain toh I can't blame her." Ragini said when Randhir kept mum.

"I'm thankful to Sanyukta that she didn't reveal the truth in front of mom, otherwise tumne jo usske saath kiya koi aur hoti toh chup nehi raheti!" Ragini said when Randhir lowered his lashes.

"When I remember my rude behavior towards Sanyukta I felt ashamed of myself! Main usse maafi mangna chahati hu but kiss muh se mangu? Maine Sanyukta ko humesa galat samjha jabki mere aapne bhai ne usske saath itna galat kiya! Aab toh mujhe usske samne aate huye vi sharam aati hain, pata nehi kabhi usse sorry bol vi payungi yeah nehi!" Ragini let out her frustration when Randhir stood there lowering his lashes.

"I'm sorry di." He said slowly.

"Mujhse nehi Randhir tumhe kisi aur se sorry bolna chahiye." Ragini said when Randhir nodded positively.

                               * * * * * * * * *

The car stopped in front of a small house and Sanyukta came out from that car. She looked at the house and smiled a little. She pressed the door bell and after sometimes the door was opened by Anju. She was surprised to saw her when Sanyukta was smiled.

"Maa." She hugged her tightly.

"Aare Sanyu tu, yu achanak, sab thik toh hain na?" Anju asked when Sanyukta got mum.

"Aare Anju koyn hain?" Kishor ji came out.

"Aare Sanyu beta tum?" He also surprised when Sanyukta run towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Papa." She shades happy tears.

"Aare beta tum yu achanak, sab thik toh hain na?" Kishor ji asked surprisingly.

"Kyu papa main aaise hi nehi aah sakti keya?" She asked gulping her tears.

"Haan haan beta kyu nehi, tumhara hi toh ghar hain, aur sab kaise hain, Randhir kaisa hain?" Kishor ji asked. Mentioning Randhir's name Sanyukta's smile got vanished, she looked away.

"Aare bachchi kitni din baad aayi hain, usse aandar toh aane dijiye pehele!" Anju controlled the situation. Just then Ankit came out, he was going for an interview and surprised to saw Sanyukta there.

"Aare Sanyukta itni subha subha, wo vi itni badi suitcase leke, sasural walo ne ghar se nikal diya keya?" He asked teasingly thus Sanyukta forced a smile.

"Badtameez, bahen se aaise baat karte hain keya, jiss kaam se jaa rahe thay jau." Kishor ji scolded Ankit thus he left silently.

"Aare beta tum khadi kyu ho, aapne room mein jau main aabhi chai lati hu." Anju said thus Sanyukta nodded and went to her room.

"Sanyukta achanak se yeha kyu chali aayi wo vi bina bataye, sab thik toh hain na!" Kishor ji said confusingly.

"Main Sanyukta se puchti hu. Iss baar main aapni bachchi ke saath kuch galat nehi hone dungi, pahele hi bahut sahe chuki hain!" Anju said and left when Kishor ki sighed.

Sanyukta came to her room, she opened the door and found it as same as she left it a month ago. She sat on the bed and smiled brightly to saw her family photo but soon tears replaced her smile as she saw her wedding picture at the table.

"I hate you Randhir, I hate you." She throw the picture on the floor and hide her face in between her palms and broke down into tears. Sanyukta was crying uncontrollably when Anju came there and was shocked to saw her crying.

"Sanyu....beta keya huya, tu roo kyu rahi hain?" Anju asked sitting beside her when Sanyukta hugged her tightly.

"Beta keya huya hain, tu roo kyu rahi hain aur iss tarha achanak chali kyu aayi uss ghar se?" Anju asked worriedly.

"Maa mujhe uss ghar mein wapas nehi jana." Sanyukta said between her tears.

"Beta aakhir baat keya hain, tere aur Randhir ke bich mein sab kuch thik toh hain na?" Anju asked worriedly.

"Maa ussne mere saath....maa mujhe Randhir ke saath nehi rahena, please." She was sobbing badly.

"Randhir ne phirse kuch galat kiya hain keya Sanyu, lekin ussne toh promise kiya tha ke wo tera pura dhyan rakhega!" Anju asked confusingly when Sanyukta looked at her surprisingly.

"Phirse matlab?" She asked surprisingly.

"Wo beta uss din party mein Randhir ne hume sab kuch saach saach bata diya tha, ke college mein jo kuch vi huya tha uss mein teri koi galti nehi thi, sab kuch ussine kiya tha." Anju said hesitantly when Sanyukta looked at her mother shockingly.

"Maa isska matlab aapko sab kuch pata tha, phir vi aap mujhse puch rahi hain ke main kaisi hu, kyu yeha aayi hu?" Sanyukta asked surprisingly.

"Sanyu hume sab pata hain issi liye toh puch rahi hu. Keya Randhir ne phirse kuch galat kiya hain tere saath?" Anju asked confusingly.

"Maa jab insaan hi galat ho toh usse jyada galat aur keya ho sakta hain!" Sanyukta said wiping her tears.

"Lekin beta Randhir ne kaha tha ke wo aapna galti sudharna chahata hain." Anju said slowly.

"Maa Randhir jaise log kabhi nehi badalte hain, sirf achchhai ei ki mask pahen kar ghumte hain aur mauka milte hi pith piche waar karta hain!" Sanyukta said bitterly.

"Nehi beta aaisa nehi hain, mera mann kaheta hain ki wo badal geya hain, warna hume saach keya batata?" Anju said hopefully.

"Yeh vi usska koi game hain maa, jarur aapne matlab ke liye bola hoga lekin main iss waar usski bato mein nehi aane wali!" Sanyukta gritted her teeth.

"Nehi Sanyu, tu usse galat samajh rahi hain, maine dekha hain usski aankho mein, sachchai thi unn aankhon mein beta." Anju tried to convince her.

"Aapki aankhon ko dhoka huya hain maa, Randhir ki sachchai se dur dur tak koi rishta nehi hain, ussne jo mere saath kiya hain usse main kabhi nehi bhulungi!" And tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Sanyu main manti hu Randhir ne galti ki hain lekin aab jab wo aapna galti sudhar na chahata hain toh tujhe usse ek mauka dena chahiye beta." Anju said caressed her hairs when Sanyukta get up with a jerk.

"Main usse koi mauka nehi dene wali maa, aab mujhe uss se divorce chahiye bass." Sanyukta said thus Anju froze there.

"Divorce! Keya bol rahi hain Sanyu, yeh shaadi hain koi khel nehi jo jab marzi bich mein chhod diya!" Anju said shockingly.

"Yeh sab kuch ek khel hi tha maa jise aab main khatam karne wali hu, bass ekbaar mera exam khatam ho jaye phir main divorce ki notice bhej dungi Randhir ko, aur yeh mera final decision hain."

Sanyukta said sternly and left for college when Anju sitting there numb. She was shocked to listening Sanyukta and was scared too. She felt so helpless right now but suddenly something strikes on her mind and she dialled Randhir's number quickly.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta came to the college a little late, she was roaming there unmindfully when someone pulled her into the store room. Sanyukta was shocked at first but then came to her senses.

"Randhir what the hell are you doing?" Sanyukta screamed when Randhir locked the door from inside.

"And why you locked the damn door, just open it damn it!" She said angrily when Randhir looked at her coldly.

"Maine door lock kiya taki na koi aandar aah sake aur na tum bahar jaa sako, mujhe tumse baat karni hain." He said coldly.

"But mujhe tumse koi baat nehi karni hain, understand?" She hissed in anger and about to go when Randhir caught her wrist.

"Randhir leave me right now." She said angrily when Randhir asked.

"Tumne maa se keya kaha?" He asked again coldly.

"Tumse matlab, just leave me!" She said angrily.

"Keya tumne maa se humare divorce ki ware mein baat ki?" He asked straight.

"Haan ki." She replied hoarsely.

"Kyu?" He asked next.

"Maine tum jaisa besharam insan pehele kabhi nehi dekha Randhir! Itna sab kuch ho jane ke baad vi tum mujhse puch rahe ho kyu?" Sanyukta said sternly when Randhir pinned her against the wall.

"Why don't you understand Sanyukta I don't did that intentionally, jo vi huya by mistake huya, why don't you understand?" He let out his frustration.

"Ohh just shut up Randhir." She pushed him hard.

"Tum toh sab kuch planing ke saath karte ho na toh phir tumse kuch vi mistakenly kaise ho sakta hain Randhir!" Sanyukta said loudly.

"Sanyukta please ekbaar meri baat suno, tum jaisa soch rahi ho waisa nehi hain, maine aaisa kuch nehi kiya, aare main aaisa kyu karunga?" He became restless.

"Meri zindegi barbaad karne ke liye!" She said furiously.

"kyu issi liye ki thi na tumne mujhse shaadi, mijhe dard dene ke liye, mujhe chot pohuchane ke liye and see you are succeeded in your mission. Aare tumhe toh celebrate karni chahiye, meri haar aur aapne jeet par!" She forced a smile.

"Meri puri zindegi jo barbaad kar diya tumne!" And finally tears rolled down from her eyes when he lowered his lashes.

"Sanyukta pati hu main tumhara, I'm your husband. I have rights on you, haq hain mera tum par!" He said heavily.

"Nehi ho tum mere pati aur nahi tumhara koi haq hain much par, samjhe?" She said furiously and tore down her mangalsutra and throw it on his face.

"Yeh lo aaj se humara rishta khatam, main nehi manti tumhe aapna pati jiske liye shaadi ek khel aur rishte sirf ek mazak hain! Aajke baad main tumhara surat vi nehi dekhna chahati Randhir." Sanyukta said furiously and left next when Randhir bent down a little to take the black thread and when he saw it a drop of tear rolled down from his eyes.

Sanyukta came to the washroom and splashed water on her face. Her tears mixed with tap water as she weeping badly. Just then Kaustaki came and placed her hand on her shoulder. Sanyukta turned her face and saw Kaustaki and hugged her tightly.

"Sanyu....Sanuy what happened, why are you crying?" Kaustaki asked worriedly.

"Everything was finished Kaustu, sab kuch khatam ho geya hain." Sanyukta said between her tears.

"Sanyu baat keya hain, Randhir ne kuch kiya hain keya?" Kaustaki asked worriedly.

"I hate him kaustu, I just hate him." Sanyukta said with hatred.

"But Sanyu baat keya hain, kuch toh bol?" Kaustaki asked worriedly.

"This time I want divorce Kaustuki." Sanyukta said sternly and left the place leaving a confused Kaustaki behind.

Randhir was sitting on a bench holding that black thread on his hand when Jiggy and Yoyo came there.

"Aare Randhir bahut bore ho rahe hain chal na kahi chalte hain." Yoyo said.

"Haan club chale yeah disco?" Jiggy asked excitedly.

"Aabe disco keya tera baap ka hain jo iss waqt khula rahega?" Yoyo said teasingly.

"Achchha toh kaha jaye?" Jiggy asked.

"Aare Randhir chup kyu hain?" Yoyo asked.

"Please mujhe aakela chhod de?" Randhir said and left from there when Jiggy and Yoyo stood there dumbstruck.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Sanyukta came back at her home and threw her purse on the floor. Anju came and got surprised to saw her like this.

"Sanyu keya baat hain?" She asked surprisingly.

"Maa aapne Randhir ko call kiya tha?" She asked directly.

"Haan." Anju replied slowly.

"Kyu?" Sanyukta almost screamed.

"Wo tune divorce ki baat ki toh main darr geyi thi, iss liye!" Anju said hesitantly.

"Main Randhir ko divorce de rahi hu aur yeh mera final decision hain." Sanyukta said sternly.

"Chup ho ja Sanyu, tere papa ko dil ki bimari hain, aagar unhone sun liya toh ghazab ho jayega." Anju whispered.

"Papa ke liye hi toh aabi tak chup thi maa lekin aab aur nehi." Sanyukta replied sternly when Anju's eyes fall on her neck.

"Sanyu tera mangalsutra?" Anju asked surprisingly.

"Randhir ki muh par maar kar aayi hu." Sanyukta gritted her teeth.

"Sanyu pagal ho geyi hain keya, mangalsutra tod diya, log keya sochenge aur tere sasural wale, unnko keya bolegi tu?" Anju got panicked.

"Logo ki kisi vi baat ka aab mujh par koi asar nehi hone wala hain maa, aur uss ghar ki toh sabko ek na ekdin sab kuch pata chal hi jayega, aur wo yeh vi jaan jayenge ke maine aaisa kyu kiya." Sanyukta replied coldly.

"Sanyu....Sanyu sab kuch itna aasan nehi hain, pati-patni ke bich ladai-jhagda toh hota hi hain, usska yeh matlab nehi ke tu usse talak de de!" Anju tried to convince her.

"Maa wo mera pati nehi hain, main nehi manti usse aapna pati!" Sanyukta said furiously.

"Sanyuuu!" And Anju lost her cool.

"Tabse sun rahi hu bakwas kiye jaa rahi hain, talak dena chahati hain, yeh shaadi hain koi mazak nehi! Aur yeh baat aagar tere papa ko pata chal geya toh, nehi nehi, main aab iss ware mein kuch nehi sunna chahati." Anju said firmly.

"Lekin maa!" Sanyukta tried to say.

"Kuch nehi matlab kuch nehi." Anju said and left the room when Sanyukta sat on the bed with a thud.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Randhir came out from the college and went to the sea beach. He stopped his car and came out from the car. He sat down on a rock and looked at the sea blankly. There were so many questions roaming in his mind. Time rolled on but he was still sitting there. As the sun sets Randhir got up from there and came back to the car. He starts his car and left from there.

Randhir drive aimlessly on the road when his car stopped in front of the bar where he came previous night. The bar was not so prestigious which can match his level, he came last night cause he have no other option as the others were closed but why he came here tonight he himself don't know that.

Randhir entered at the bar and went to the corner table, he sat there and ordered for a drink. Just then a dulcet voice came to his ear and he looked at the stage. He saw the same girl whom he saved last night was singing there. Randhir looked at her once then looked away, he was gulping his drink and tried to forget every damn thing but something caught his attention. He saw the girl went to the tables to collect the money and how those people tried to touch her. He twitched his nose and looked down.

After finishing her performance Roja left from there when Randhir also came out. He was about to go to his car when someone called him from behind. Randhir turned and saw Rosy stood there, he looked at her confusingly.

"Thank you for yesterday, sorry I forgot to told you last night." She said slowly looking down.

"No I was rude, so I'm sorry Miss." Randhir said slowly when she looked at him surprisingly.

"No that's okay, you are right anyway thank you." She said and about to leave when Randhir said.

"Kyu karti ho yeh kaam?" He asked suddenly when she looked at him confusingly.

"No, I saw how much you was uncomfortable when they tried to touch you." Randhir said thus she lowered her lashes.

"Here everyone gave dirty glances to you, no one respect you and your talent, so why you here?" Randhir asked thus she looked at him.

"I'm bound to do it." She replied slowly.

"Kiss baat ki majburi hain jo tumhe aaisi jagah par kaam karna par raha hain?" Randhir asked curiously.

"Main aapko kyu baatau, main toh aapko janti vi nehi!" She said slowly and before Randhir can say anything she left from there quickly when Randhir left for the mansion.

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