6 months later
"Doctor" "How is he" Harsh impatiently asked the doctor

"Mr Shekhawat...I am afraid" "He is going into depression" "I am afraid...we might lose him Mr Shekhawat" Doctor said

"Doctor please don't say this" "Do something" "Save Randhir" "Any medicines...any treatment" "I want my son back as normal" Harsh said

"No medicines no treatment would work here" "We have tried everything in last 6 months" "Please bring Sanyukta...back" Doctor said

"From where doctor?" "We don't know anything about her" "She left us this house 6 months back without informing anyone of us" "I tried..and I am still trying to trace her doctor" "Since then Randhir is like this" "Na kuch bolta hai...na usko kisi cheez ka khayal hai" "Khana hum usse zabardasti khilate hai" "Bas pura din woh rose plant ke paas dhoop main betha rehta hai" "His eyes..his eyes...are fixed on something" "He doesn't even responds to us" "He just utters a single word - Sanyukta" "What should I do doctor?" "I am helpless" Harsh said

"I understand Mr Shekhawat" "But only Sanyukta can cure Randhir now" "I have tried everything now" "I am still trying..." "But...ilaaj aur dawa se zyada...usse Sanyukta ki zarurat hai" doctor said

"If the situation remains the same" "I am sorry to say...it will ruin his mental health" doctor said

Harsh sat down next to Randhir

Randhir had his eyes sticked on ceiling.
He was quite.
He is into depression.
He hardly speaks anything.
Just one word..."Sanyukta".

In last six months Randhir is in miserable condition.

Sanyukta left Shimla the very next morning without informing or meeting anyone.
Since that day..Randhir slipped into depression.
Harsh has been trying hard to trace Sanyukta.
She is no where to be found.
Renuka and Dadi are worried for Randhir.
"Sanyukta" Randhir mumbled in lowest tone ever.
Harsh's eyes welled up.
Renuka came there with plate of food. "Harsh..." she came and sat next to Randhir.
She started feeding Randhir while he chewed the food monotonically. Harsh took him to the washroom. Renuka cried bitterly looking at Randhir's condition.
Harsh and Renuka made him sleep afterwards.
- - - - - -
"This all is happening because of me" Harsh said Renuka kept her hand on his shoulder
"Why?" "Why did I do that?" "Kash woh sab nahi hua hota" "But main kya karta...I did it to save Randhir" "I asked Kishore to take the blame on his to save Randhir" "I got them married" "And...today...my son is suffering just because of me" "Just because of me" Harsh said
"Don't blame yourself Harsh" renuka said
"Look at him renuka...and Sanyukta...where is she?" "We don't have a clue" "If she doesn't come here...we would lose Randhir" Harsh said
"Everything will be fine Harsh" "Sanyukta will come back" Renuka consoled him

Dehradun, Utranchal
Yes, Sanyukta is in Dehradun.
She came here 6 months back and is staying at her masi's place.
Her masi is widow.
She took care of Sanyukta.
She consoled and supported her. Since last 6 months Sanyukta is living here.
It took many days for Sanyukta to recover from the shock.
It was very tough for her.
She used to cry whole night.
Her trust was broken brutually.
She used to sit idle for hours together thinking about those incidents, those memories she spent with Randhir.
She tried to hate him...but she can never hate him.
She tried to forget him...but she always remembers him.
She tried to run away from those memories - but..he was always there in her heart,mind,thoughts,words...and..in her.
As it said "Even if we try to forget, love will remember"
Part of Randhir is still there in her. Their love is breathing inside her.
She is 6 months pregnant.

"Sanyu...come have this juice" Nirmali came

"No Masi...I don't feel like having it" Sanyukta said

"Come on Sanyukta have it beta" "you are not alone..now..your baby is dependent on you" Nirmala tried to make her understand.

Sanyukta took the glass from her hand and started sipping the juice.

"That's like a good girl" Nirmala caress her hair

"How are you feeling now?" "Back pain horaha tha na" Nirmala said

"Hmm feeling better" Sanyukta replied

"Baby's growth is good" Nirmal said

Sanyukta didn't replied to it

"Aren't you happy hearing it?" Nirmala asked

"Of course Masi..I am happy" "My baby is healthy" She caress her baby bump

"Don't you think you should inform Randhir about this" Nirmala suggested

"No..this is my child" Sanyukta said

"This is Randhir's child as well" "And you cannot neglect this fact" Nirmala said

"I want to protect my child from person like him" Sanyukta said

"He is father of this baby" Nirmala said it again

"Masi..please lets not talk about it" Sanyukta said

"You have to talk today Sanyukta" "You are hiding this news from him" "He has all right to know about his child" "This child has all right to be with his father" "Whenever we go for sonography test...every time doctor asked me about the father" "No Sanyukta...you are not doing this right beta" Nirmala said

"Masi...this is my child" "I am capable enough to raise my child alone" "I don't need him" Sanyukta said

"But this child needs his father" "And society..." "This people will make it hard for you and this child to live" Nirmala stated

"My child is not illegitimate" Sanyukta shouted

"But people think so..." Nirmala said

"I don't care what they think Masi" Sanyukta said and was about to get up when a sharp pain arose in her belly

"Ouuch" she whined in pain

"Beta sambhal ke..." Nirmal hold her and made her sit on bed again

Sanyukta's eyes welled up.

She hugged Nirmala.

Nirmala hugged her back.

"You still love him" Nirmala said

"No...I hate him" She sobbed

"No you don't...you can never hate him" Nirmala said

"I hate him" "He broke my trust Masi" "I hate him" Sanyukta sobbed

"If you hate him..then why do still wear mangalsutra" "And why are you carrying this child in your womb" "This is not a mistake Sanyukta" "This child is symbol of your LOVE Sanyukta" "And you cannot neglect it" "A husband and wife comes together...to enhance their relationship" "Forgive him Sanyukta" "For you baby..." "Love is forgiveness" "He deserves a chance" Nirmala said
