Some days later.

"How is she Randhir?" Renuka asked over the phone

"Fine" "It will take time for her to come out of it Maa" Randhir said

"I totally understand that..." "Let her take some rest" "No need to resume college immediately" Renuka said

"Yes, Maa..." "She is at home only..." "Have applied for SL in college" Randhir said

"I am worried for her" "Hope she recovers soon" Renuka said

"She will...it will take time" Randhir said

"Okay then...take care" "Main baad main phone karti hu Sanyukta se baat karne" Renuka said

"Ji..." Randhir replied and hung up the call.

Randhir went to their room.

Sanyukta was lost in thoughts.

Her eyes were fixed on the baby pictures hanging on wall.

"Why are you hurting yourself Sanyukta?" Randhir spoke which break her trance.

She looked at him.

Randhir looked at those baby pictures and then at her.

He started removing them.

"No please Randhir..." She rushed to him.

"No please don't move it...please" she requested him

"Why not?" "You are torturing yourself seeing this pictures" "har pal tumhari aakho ke saamne rehte hai tumhe aur takleef dene" He said

"Nahi Randhir isse mat hatayie...please" She started crying

"No Sanyukta...this pictures are hurting you more" "Let me remove them from here" He said

"Nahi na please Randhir" "Hum request karte hai aapse" "please don't remove this pictures from here" "It makes me feel like my...my baby is with me" She broke down into tears

Randhir took her into his arms immediatedly

"Please Randhir..." "Mat hatayeye in pics ko" She mumbled while sobbing

"Phir tum inhe dekh ke aur hurt hoti ho" "Kitni baar i saw you staring at the pics" "I don't want that Sanyukta" Randhir said

"Aagar humara baby hota toh woh aaisa hota na Randhir?" She said

Randhir kissed her head

"Isse bhi cute hota" He replied

Randhir had tears in his eyes too.

A tear drop fell on Sanyukta's neck.

Sanyukta slowly broke the hug and looked at Randhir.

Randhir's eyes were moist.

"Aap kyu ro rahe ho?" She asked cupping his face

"Kyuki tum ro rahi ho" He replied

"Hum nahi royenge aabse" She said

"Tum humesha yahi bolti ho phir roti ho" He said

"Hum kya kare Randhir?" "Hum iss baat ko accept nahi kar parahe" "Hum aaisa hi lagta hai ki woh hai..." "Yaha...mehfooz hai" "Humare paas hai" She said touching her belly

"We were so happy Randhir" "Then why did this happen" Sanyukta said

"We have to move on from it Sanyukta" "Till how long you will get affected by all this" "Please Sanyukta..." He said

"Hum nahi bhul sakte Randhir" "I feel like...hum humare baby ko sambhal nahi paye" "Sab humari galati hai..." She said

"Stop blaming yourself Sanyukta" "It's not your fault..." "Stop it..." "Jo hona tha hogaya..." "aab kya puri zindagi iss baat ko leke baithenge kya hum" "We need to move on Sanyukta" "Jo hua usse bhulne ki koshish karo" "And its not like that...ki hum kabhi parents nahi banenge" "Of course we will have our baby Sanyukta"

"We will...." He touched his forehead with hers.

They shed some tears.

Next day in office.

"Thik ho tum?" "Khana khaya?" Randhir asked

"Hum thik hai...khana bas thodi der main kha lenge" "Aap thik ho..?" She asked him

"Main thik hu..." "Tum khana kha lo...aur phir aaram karo" "See you in the evening" "Take care" He said

"You too" She replied

Randhir "Hmmm...better" "It will take time but..." Randhir stopped in the middle

"We were shocked to know it Randhir" "Everything was going so well" "You both were so happy" "And suddenly..." Parth said

"Destiny Parth what else?" He said

"Has she started going college again" Parth said

"No not yet..." "She needs to take rest" Randhir said

"Hmmm...she should take rest" "Vidushi and I were planning to come to meet you but...then we thought...how are we going to do so" "I mean..." "Samaj nahi aaraha tha kuch" Parth said

"Its okay..." "I understand..." Randhir said

"So...whats next?" "Any plannings for first anniversary?" Parth said

"I had...but...I dont know now" "Sanyukta......you know na...she is in no mood" He said

"What have you planned?" Parth asked

"I planned a trip to Bali" "From my last months incentives" "Usse surprise dena chahta tha" Randhir said

"Toh aabhi problem kya hai" "Why are you guys not going?" He said

"Parth kaise?" He said
