In Randhir's room.

Randhir was packing his bag.

He was bit upset as Sanyukta will not be going with him to Bombay.

Sanyukta came there.

"Randhir ...packing hogayi" She said

Randhir looked at her.

"Sanyukta mere samne yeh sab karne ki zarurat nahi" He said

"Kya?" She asked

"Yeh...pallu se saar dakhna and all" "You know I dislike it" He said

"Randhir but yaha pe...hume yeh karna hoga" She said

"Mere samne mat karo..." He said

"Thik hai..." She said Randhir continued doing his work.

Sanyukta stared him. He was upset.

"You are upset?" She said

"No..." He replied

"Yes you are...kya hua?" She said

"Come with me" He said

"Randhir...please understand" "Mummyji needs my help right now" "Roz koi na koi milne aata hai" "Aur aage ki bhi taiyaari karni hai" "Please...understand" She said

Randhir kept mum.

"And its just matter of 3 days" "Today is tuesday...you are coming back on Sat" She said

"Sunday...puja ke baad tum mere saath vapas chal rahi ho" he announced.

"Thik hai...'" She agreed.

Renuka came and knock the door.

"Ji Mummyji..." Sanyukta responded

"Sanyukta...your parents are here" "Come down" She said

"Yes..." She replied

Randhir & Sanyukta came down.

Anju and Kishore had came.

"Ji hum khana laye hai sabke liye" Kishore told Harsh

"Ghar main chula nahi jalega toh humne socha ke sabke liye hum khana leke aaye" Kishore said

"Shukriya..." Harsh said joining his hands.

"Maa...Papa...kaise hai aap" Sanyukta was about to go to them but she was stopped by Dadi.

"Bahu..." Sanyukta stopped in middle

"Pata nahi...sutak chal raha hai humara" Dadi said Sanyukta step backward.

Randhir find it weird and disturbing.

"Haan beta...Maaji sach keh rahi hai" "Hum tumse mil nahi sakte" Anju said

"Sanyukta...outsiders are not allowed to touch us" "I mean...the family who has lost someone" "pehle 4 din kisi ko touch nahi karte" Renuka explained

her

"They are not outsiders Maa..." Randhir said

"I know...but yeh pratha hai" Renuka said

"What pratha?" "Disgusting..." "She is not allowed to meet her parents" Randhir said in Sanyukta's defence.

"Its okay...its completely fine Randhir" Sanyukta said

"Aacha...Maaji...hum chalte hai" Kishore said joining his hands

"Chalte hai Maaji" Anju said.

Sanyukta's eyes were moist as she was not able to meet her parents.

Anju and Kishore left.

Soon it was time for Randhir to leave for Mumbai.

"Dadi...main 3 din baad phir aaunga" "Aabhi kaam hai jaana padega" He said and touched Randhir's feet.

"Khush raho" Dadi said

Randhir met everyone before leaving.

Sanyukta was standing at one corner. He went to her.

"Dhyaan se jayie..." She said

"Hmmm...tum aapna khayal rakhna" "Hum phone pe baat karenge" He said

"Thik hai" She said.

Randhir wanted to hug her but...damn everyone was present there.

"Bye..." He said

"Bye...." She replied

Late night.

It was 11PM.

Sanyukta was waiting for Randhir's call.

And her wait was over...

"Hello...just landed..." "Reached safely" He said

"Okay..." She smiled

"You are still awake..." He said

"I was waiting for you call" She said

"Okay...now go and sleep" "You wait is over" "Din main bohot kaam hota hai you need rest" "Sleep..." He said

"Hmmm....good night" She said

"Good night..." He said.

Randhir reached their home.

He opened the door. He rolled his eyes everywhere.

"Again....I am alone" He said stepping inside.

He changed and threw his body on bed.

He slept on Sanyukta's side of bed.

But he couldn't sleep.

HE WAS MISSING HER.

He felt lonely.

She has became his habit now.

Randhir closed his eyes forcefully to catch some sleep.

Only Sanyukta's smiling face in front of his eyes.

He was missing her badly.

A lone tear drop slipped off from his close eyes.

- - - - - - -

Sanyukta was finding it difficult to catch sleep.

She thought may be it is because of sari she is wearing. She don't have an habit of wearing a sari much.

She thought of changing but then dropped the idea.

She has to wake up early in the morning.

And its not allowed to wear dresses and salwaar kameez in house. Sari is compulsory.

But actual reason was something else. Her eyes were moist.

A tear drop fell down from her eyes.

SHE WAS MISSING RANDHIR.

She wiped her tears but they ditched her again.

"I miss you" their connected hearts said in union.
