Delhi, India.

Sleep was far away from Sanyukta.

It's been two days that she came to India now and she haven't seen him or talked to him.

Her heart was paining.

Did Randhir signed papers?
He really wants to divorce her? Would he come to her? This marriage...really it will end?
How will Maa and Papa react on knowing everything?
What will happen after her divorce with Randhir?
Many thoughts came to her mind.

She got up from bed and stood near window.

The night sky was looking beautiful with moon and stars.

She remembered how she use to wait for Randhir to return every night.

The moon and stars were her companions.

She closed her eyes.

Ve changa nahion keeta beeba
Ve changa nahion keeta beeba
Dil mera tod ke. Ve bada pachhtaiyaan akhaan
Ve bada pachhtaiyaan akhaan
Naal tere jod ke

Tenu chadd ke kitthe jawan
Tu mera parchhanvaa
Tere mukhde vich hi main taan
Rab nu apne pawaan
Meri duaa.. haaye Sajda tera kardi sadaa
Tu sun iqraar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil tu hi jaan meri

Randhir caressed her Sanyukta's bangles which she left behind in drawer.

Main tainu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee

"Done with packing Randhir?" came Renuka there.

"Hmmm...." He said and packed her bangles in piece of cloth.

"These are Sanyukta's bangles..."
"Her choora..." Renuka said

"Hmmm....she left it here in drawer" Randhir said

"Why are you taking them with you...?" Renuka asked

"These bangles belong to her...and she loves wearing them" Randhir said

Renuka smiled a little one on seeing a change in Randhir.

Randhir packed his bags.

He checked his phone and quickly made some calls to assign work to his subordinates.

Renuka came down and told Harsh about it.

"Good..."
"If he is missing her then it is really a positive sign" Harsh said

"Harsh he is changing slowly..."
"To be very honest, I didn't expect that he will go to India to bring Sanyukta back"
"But...he is going" Renuka chirped in happiness.

"He was taking Sanyukta for granted" "He thought she will not go anywhere leaving him"
"But now that she is gone..."
"He realised her importance"
"He now knows her value in his life" "His feelings are slowly coming out..." "He always had feelings but...you know how he is"
"Not only this he wants to go India and bring her back...I am sure all this while he will realise his love for her" "He will listen to his heart and feelings" Harsh said

"Yes..." "I am so happy..." Renuka chirped

"Don't tell Sanyukta about Randhir's arrival"
"Let her get surprise..." Harsh said

"Yeah Harsh, don't worry...." Renuka said

Delhi, India.

Morning arose.

Anju found Sanyukta awake.

"Sanyu..." She came to Sanyukta.

"Beta...what happened?"
"It looks like you haven't slept for whole night" Anju asked worriedly

"No Maa...." She said

"Look at your eyes Sanyu..."
"You were awake whole night..." "What happened my child..." Anju cupped her face.

"Nothing Maa...I am fine"
"Neend nahi aarahi thi bas..." Sanyukta said

"Kyu beta?" Anju asked

"Maa...woh...because of time difference..."
"Canada is 10 hours behind India...so..time difference ki wajah se neend nahi aarahi thi" She said

"Aacha...ha woh bhi hai"
"Aacha Sanyu tell me...have Randhir and you planned something?" Anju asked

"Means...?" She asked with confusion.

"Means...about future...about baby" Anju asked

Sanyukta was speechless.

What is going to tell Anju?

"I know your generation do plannings and all"
"But...having a child at correct age is very good for woman's health"
"When I were of your age, you were already in my womb"
"I am not interfering, but you both should plan"
"If not right now but then in some days" Anju said

Sanyukta just nodded.

"Okay...get freshen up quickly and come down for breakfast" Anju said and left the room.

Sanyukta thought of Anju's words.

She felt bad.

Here her parents are waiting for her baby.
Her mother is counselling her in this matter and...
How is she going to tell her parents that Randhir has not even touched her.

He has never accepted her as his wife.
They never lived like husband and wife.
Randhir don't love her.

Toronto, Canada.

Randhir placed the divorce paper file in his bag.

He wore his jacket and placed his passport and tickets in the pocket.

He climbed down with his bag where Harsh and Renuka were waiting for him.

He stood in front of Harsh.

"I am going" "Will be back with Sanyukta" He said

"I hope you stand by your words"
"If not, you know what to do"
"Either bring her back with respect and accept her as your wife or set her free from this bond" Harsh said

Randhir stood quite.

He didn't replied anything to Harsh.

He met his mother and left for airport.
