Sanyukta kept caressing his back whereas he was pouring all his insecurities by crying in her arms. Randhir was scared what if someday she finds out his truth? What if someday she find out about his colorful past? What if someday she came to know that he married her not out of love but to misuse her innocence? No he cannot let go of her. She is his life now. He will fight with the world to keep her with him till his last breath.

After some time, randhir opened his eyes only to found himself alone in the bed. He looked around with a frown but there was no trace of sanyukta. He got down of the bed and made his way towards the washroom and lightly knocked it.

Randhir (knocking on the door): sanyu...sanyu

Not getting any response he turned the knob only to find it open. He looked inside the bathroom but to his disappointment it was empty. He took out his phone to make a call to her. He wiped the sweat bead forming on his forehead. He kicked the bed in frustration as her phone was switched off.

Randhir (ruffling his hair): where are you sanyu?

And then something clicked to him. He opened her wardrobe only to find her side to vacant. He stumbled back when things started registering to him.

Randhir (trembling with fear):sanyu...sanyu left me...how could she do this to me? She loves me...she promised me to stay by my side then how can she leave me like this? (He yelled by clutching his hair)

Randhir opened his eyes with a jerk and looked around to find himself on the bed. He touched his face on to find it drenched in sweat and tears. His breathing was uneven. He slowly realized that it was just a nightmare. He looked around and started calling sanyukta but there was no response from her side. He immediately got down of the bed and ran to open the wardrobe. His hands were trembling in fear but he released a sigh of relief the moment he find her cloths in their original position. He took out his phone to call her but to his dismay it kept on ringing. He knew sanyukta could not leave him but that fear was not letting him stay in peace. He ran outside the room only to find her mom going out of the house.

Randhir (running after her): mom where is sanyu? she is not picking up my call.

Renuka: no randhir I don't know where she is but the maids were saying that they saw her leaving the house.

Randhir: (getting panic): but mom how can she go like this without informing any of us?

Renuka: calm down randhir..she is not a kid. She will be back soon. Okay so I am leaving for my ladies kitty. Bye beta (son)

He came back to his room and sat on the bed with a thud and clutched the bed sheet in a fist when numerous bad thoughts crossed in his mind.

Randhir (murmuring): calm down randhir...sanyu must be around...she can't leave you..she loves you randhir so don't you dare doubt on her love...my sanyu loves me...she can't leave her baby like this...she will come back (his eyes welled up but he kept chanting those words like a prayer. )

It's been one hour and his patience finally got over. He threw the vase kept in their room on floor shattering into pieces. He was breathing unevenly. He fists his hair in a tight grip. He picked whatever came in his hands and started throwing it on floor..Shattering into piece..He turned around and picked up a photo frame. He was about to smash it on floor too when his red eyes fell on the picture inside it..the picture has captured one of their wedding moment. He sat down on the floor with the frame in his hand and tears made their way from his swollen eyes. He caressed sanyukta face with fingertips. He started remembering their first meet...the day he proposed her for marriage and their wedding..with sanyukta he never realized that in the pretext of faking it he actually started enjoying her company..he actually started getting comfortable in her presence..he actually started caring for her...he actually started lov...his eyes widened the moment that word came in his mind..Love it is the only thing that binds sanyukta with him even after so many problems and complications...but it was always one sided love....how much he regret playing with her innocent heart...wish he could go in the past and change all his ill-doings..he hugged the frame and started crying..his phone rang indicating a call from sanyukta..he felt as if his soul is back in his body...he quickly picked up call but before he could say anything his world came crashing down after hearing the caller words.

Caller: hello my name is rohit and this lady has met with an accident near super market area. We are taking her to nearby hospital. I found your number saved in her phone as hubby. Please come as soon as possible..

Randhir (with broken voice): what! Sanyu...my sanyu met with an accident...yes I am coming there but please take care of her till then...where are you taking her?

Rohit: we are taking her to nearby city hospital. Just give me a ring once you reached there.

Randhir took the support of wall to balance himself. He felt as if someone has stabbed a knife in his heart. He wiped his face and took out some cash from the locker and left for the hospital.

He ran towards her ward once he got to know her room number where she was admitted. He quickly got hold of the doctor that came out from her room

Randhir (breathing heavily): doctor..how..how is sanyu...usko zada chot toh nhi lagi naa (she didn't got much injure right?)

Doctor: yes she is fine but who are you?

Randhir : I am her husband randhir singh shekhwat

Doctor: Mr. shekhwat relaxed your wife is fine now. She got hurt on her head that is why she fainted. There are some minor injuries in her right arm but she will be fine two- three days. Now you please come with me for some formalities and hospital charged then you can meet your wife.

Randhir breathed a sigh of relief once he completed all the formalities and then headed towards her room only to find her arguing with the nurse.

Nurse (bandaging her arm): ma'am please sit still...If you will move like then how will bandage your arm

Sanyukta (whining): so do it slowly..its paining so much...

Randhir (sternly): sanyukta shut up and sit quietly and let her do her work

Sanyukta (making a face): but randhir she

Randhir interrupted her by keeping a finger on his lips as if telling her to be quite. sanyukta pouted her lips and looked down. Randhir felt bad for shouting on her. The nurse quickly did her bandage and left them alone after chirping a thank you to randhir.

Randhir (in a cold voice): now get up we have to leave for home.

Sanyukta eyes got filled with tears. She got down of the bed and then followed him to his car. He opened the door for her and she sat inside quietly. During the whole ride she kept stealing glances of him but he was just driving the car with an angry expression. She knew he was never that romantic types but at least she expects a little care from his side. He didn't even ask her about her injuries. Soon they reached home. Sanyukta entered their room and was shocked to find it condition. It was like some hurricane had come in this room.

She slowly made her way towards the bed and sat down and waited for randhir to come. After fifteen minute he came inside with a food trolley with him. He helped her to sit by taking the support of bed head rest and adjusted a napkin for her. She was looking at him intently whereas he not for once looked at her face. He was about to spoon some soup in her mouth when she held his hand.

Sanyukta: aap gussa ho? (You are angry with me?) and who did this with our room?

Randhir: I did it

Sanyukta (confusingly): what? But why?

Randhir (glaring her): why should I tell you? did you tell me once before going out of the house?

Sanyukta: randhir (she was interrupted as he shouted on her)

Randhir (yell on her): shut up...I don't need any fucking explanation from you...what was the need to go out without informing me? And did you just see what you did with yourself?

Sanyukta (cubing his face): randhir I am fine

Randhir (shrugging her hands): fine right? You are fine but what about me? Did you for once thought about me sanyu? jaan nikal gayi thi meri jab mujhe vo call aya...agar tumhe kuch hojata you fool toh mera kya hota? (if something would have happen to you fool then what would I have done?)

Sanyukta: I am sorry randhir..I promise it won't happen again

Randhir: no sanyu..i am sorry..it was my fault that I have given you so much freedom to go out whenever you feel like..(holding her nape): listen to me very carefully Mrs. Sanyukta randhir singh shekhwat agar aaj ke baad tumhari carelessness ki wajah se fir se tumhe hurt hua then I promise mai khud tumhari jaan lelunga aur fir khud ko bhi khatam karlunga..

Sanyukta (hugging him): I am so sorry...please aap abhi gussa mat karo

Randhir (hugging her tightly): you scared me sanyu...you just scared me to death..I can't live without you sanyu..I just can't (he whisper) agar tumhe kuch hojata toh mai toh jeete jee marjata na sanyu...you are my life sanyu..I can't bear a single scratch on you..(cubing her face): you won't do this ever right? You will never leave your baby like this right? I am incomplete without you sanyu

Sanyukta heart broke seeing his vulnerable side. She could not longer control herself and kept her soft petals on his rough one to make him quite. it was a assurance kiss to him that she will never leave his side no matter what it comes. It was slow yet beautiful. Their lips were moving in perfect sync. Soon they broke the kiss when they got breathless. Randhir kept his forehead on her and breathes heavily.

Sanyukta (with closed eyes): I love you so much randhir
