Randhir Singh Shekhawat and Sanyukta Aggarwal had their fairytale wedding 3 years ago, but not every fairytale wedding has happily ever after.
3 years ago Sandhir's paradise witnessed a tornado tearing their world apart. What would have torn Sandhi...
"Sanyukta no if or but...you are coming and that's final" Kaustuki spoke out.
"But Kaustu try to understand..." Sanyukta hesitated.
"You are coming to Mumbai and that's final!" Kaustuki disconnected the call.
Sanyukta sighed, she booked a ticket to Mumbai. She then packed her bag with casual wear, but she stopped for a second and looked at her cupboard blankly.
She then stared at her Mickey Mouse pajamas, crop tops, jeans, and some sarees and Kurtis. Probably she needed some better clothes to wear.
She kept some more cash in her carry bag to shop some much-needed attires and other documents needed to board a flight at Mumbai.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Next day Sanyukta stood at Dehradun Airport, Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun is the only operational airport plying daily commercial flights, connecting the Garhwal region by Air.
She checked in her boarding pass, choosing a window seat for her. The departure time grew closer, making Sanyukta more and more anxious.
She boarded the flight, searched for her allotted seat and sat down. Sanyukta tried to calm herself by deep breaths.
"Madam, do you need water?" An air hostess spoke up to Sanyukta as she noticed her face going pale.
"No, I am fine. Thank you" Sanyukta replied with a weak smile.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 'Lives with no excuses and travel with no regrets'. Sanyukta is bearing both excuses and regrets. Excuses for escaping her past life and regret for traveling to Mumbai.
Three years ago, Sandhir bought their first rented home together in Mumbai after marriage to complete internship of 6 months before heading to Bengaluru for ISRO project.
Mumbai has so many memories of Randhir and Sanyukta together. Those memories of Mumbai before heading to Ladakh for honeymoon are killing Sanyukta.
"Randhir isn't this flat too small for us?" Sanyukta spoke out looking at a flat they took on rent.
"Sanyukta, prices of land in Mumbai are sky-high. This is the only place we could afford for now. We save money from internship stipend and look for other better options 6 months later" Randhir explained Sanyukta feeling embarrassed.
"Randhir, don't feel bad about the place, infact I love it! I will place beige curtains with these maroon walls of the room" Sanyukta spoke happily thinking of how would she decorate this beautiful nest?
"Ma'am, please open your seat belt, the flight is about to land" A voice brought back Sanyukta to reality.
Sanyukta nodded towards the Air hostess and unbuckled her seat belt.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Sanyu!" Kaustuki sneezed Sanyukta in a tight hug as soon as she spotted Sanyukta at the arrival terminal.
"Yo Yo paji how are you?" Sanyukta spoke out with a smile.
"I am great" Yo Yo replied with a big grin.
"Sanyukta help me in shopping" Kaustuki spoke out worriedly in the car.
Yo Yo started an export business of seafood from Mumbai bringing prosperity and success to his life. Recently, he bought a new apartment in posh Cuff Parade of Mumbai.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Sanyukta buy these they will look on you" Kaustuki selected dresses for Sanyukta.
"You are a bride, focus on yourself" Sanyukta stated.
"Yeah...but bride's bestie should also look good" Kaustuki replied, yearning a smile from Sanyukta.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Finally, Kaustuki's wedding day arrived, Sanyukta helped Kaustuki in every possible way she could.
"Thanks Sanyukta, I pray for your happiness as well" Kaustuki hugged Sanyukta.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kaustuki and Yo Yo started taking wedding vows around holy fire.
Then a Christian wedding took place as per Kaustuki's family tradition.
"I will always be in your side, Sanyukta" Randhir spoke as they got married.
"I, too, will trust you always" Sanyukta replied.
"Sanyukta, where did you get lost?" Vidushi brought back Sanyukta to reality.
"Kaustuki is going to the Maldives for honeymoon, come wish her good luck" Sahil spoke out.
Sanyukta hugged Kaustuki giving her best wishes for her new married life before she left for Airport.
"Sanyukta, look, this is a great option for you" Vidushi handed a business card to Sanyukta.
"Vineet Khurana,divorce lawyer" Sanyukta read the card in disbelief.
"Vidushi what the heck are you doing!" Parth spoke out angrily.
"Parth it's for her good will only. How will she live like that for a lifetime? She needs to move on" Vidushi retorted.
Sanyukta clearly looked disturbed, but she tried to walk away from piercing questions.
"Come on Parth, will it look impressive, when we will invite her for our engagement? I have heard such people are bad luck for auspicious occasions" Vidushi spoke out loud enough for Sanyukta to hear her words.
Sanyukta didn't turn back or stop, she kept walking like a robot. Tears fell freely on her face, heart named organ shivered helplessly, the brain thought to shut down for a while.
Sanyukta decided to leave Mumbai via next flight. She flew down to Dehradun.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "I won't forgive you ever Randhir Singh Shekhawat. The way I am crying, you too will cry and burn alone. You left me when I needed you now I will never return to you" Sanyukta made a resolution in her mind.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Randhir what did you do!"Head of lSRO shrieked.
"Sir, I don't know how it happened? Just give me more time. I will figure it out" Randhir pleaded.
"Get the hell out of here, traitor!" Head of ISRO flared up in rage.
"Sanyukta try to understand. It was an accident. I didn't do it on purpose" Randhir stated.
"Now explaining me won't work out anything, traitor, just leave immediately. You led down ISRO, don't make excuses for your foolishness"Sanyukta spoke out wrathfully.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
It takes two to tango. Who do think is at fault? Randhir or Sanyukta. What is the reason behind sourness in Sandhir's relationship? Stay tuned to know more.
