At midnight.

Randhir returned home.

Harsh was waiting for him.

"Randhir..." Harsh said

Randhir stopped.

"Where were you?" Harsh asked

Randhir turned.

"Office..." He said

"Why did you not come early and attend party?" Harsh asked directly.

"Because I had work in office"
"My work is my priority" Randhir replied

"Not as important as your wife Randhir"
"For god sake you are not single now" "You are married"
"You have a wife..."
"You should spent time with her" Harsh said

"Doesnt matter to me Dad"
"single, married are just status..."
"Of course I am married but it doesn't affect me or my life in anyway" Randhir replied

"How can you say this Randhir?" "Sanyukta was waiting for you in the party"
"She was expecting you with her..." "How can you do this to her?" Harsh roared.

"I didn't ask her to expect me or wait for me in the party"
"And moreover Dad, this party was for her...not for me"
"It was welcome party for her...so...?" "Doesn't matter if I attend it or not" "She was there, you guys introduced her to the people"
"That's it..." "There is no need of me to attend the party" Randhir said

"Randhir she is your wife"
"You married her..." Harsh said

"Yes she is my wife Dad"
"Just for name sake..." "Just a tag"
"She is just an addition to our family" "She has her own life, I have my own life..."
"I won't interfere in her life and she should do the same"
"We are two individuals living our respective lives under same roof"
"I don't expect anything from her...and she should not be expecting anything from me" Randhir said

"Then why did you marry her?" Harsh questioned her

"For you and Mom..."
"You guys wanted me to marry her so I did"
"But this won't change my life..."
"I will live my life the way I want..." Randhir said and left for his room.

He came to his room and found Sanyukta sleeping.
He looked at her for few seconds and went to washroom to change.
He came and lay next to her on bed. He was so tired that he slept in no time.

Next Morning.

It was 7:30 when Sanyukta opened her eyes.

Randhir was already getting ready for office.

"Good Morning..." she chirped

"Good Morning..." He replied wearing his socks.

"You are leaving for office?" She asked

"Yeah..." He said

"So early...?" She asked

"Its my routine..."
"I leave for office at 7:45..." He said

"Ohh...I didn't knew it"
"I will quickly prepare breakfast for you" She said while getting up from bed.

"No need..."
"I had my breakfast at 6:30 after returning from gym..." Randhir said

"Okay..." she said

Randhir stuffed his laptop in bag and grabbed his coat.

"Have a nice day Randhir..." She said
while he was wearing his coat.
