Ray of Hope

Chapter 32

Parth was driving the car when Randhir was lost in his thoughts.

"I think tujhe Sanyukta ko sab kuch sach sach bata dena chahiye." Parth said, taking a glance at Randhir when he looked at him.

"What are you saying, Parth? Agar Sanyukta ko pata chal gaya ke main Krishna nahi Randhir hu toh phir wo ye bardast nahi kar payegi. Use toh yehi lagega ke main phir se use dhoka dene aaya hu! I can't do this. At least not now." Randhir said nervously.

"No, I am not talking about that. Am saying you should confess your feelings to Sanyukta, that you love her." Parth said slowly.

"I want that too Parth but this is not the right time to confess. Sanyukta isn't ready for all this now. I hurt her badly and I have to wait for her to heal." Randhir said when Parth nodded positively.

"But sometimes I thought, is it possible to cure bleeding heart Parth? I hurt Sanyukta beyond repair. I hurt her where it hurts the most. I-I broke her trust and I don't think she can forgive me anymore!" Randhir said that when his eyes became moist.

"Randhir." Parth kept his hand on his shoulder.

"I don't know why I did this to her? Pata nahi main itna niche kaise gir gaya jo mujhse itni badi galti ho gayi? Why did I do this, why why why?" Randhir almost screamed when broke down into tears. Parth stopped the car immediately and held him next.

"It's okay Randhir, everything will be fine." Parth consoled him.

"Mujhse yeh sab kaise ho gaya Parth? Sanyukta ne toh mujh par trust kiya tha aur maine kitni bedardi se uska trust todh diya! Aab wo mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karne wali, kabhi nahi!" Randhir said in between his tears.

"Randhir that was past but everything is changed now. You have changed now. Ab tu wo purana Randhir nahi raha, tu badal chuka hai wo bhi achchhe ke liye." Parth gave him some hope.

"But Sanyukta toh mujhse nafrat karti hain, mere naam se nafrat karti hain. Wo mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karegi." Randhir gulped hard.

"Haan jarur karegi. Jab Sanyukta ko pata chalega ke tu puri tarah se badal gaya hai aur tune uske liye kitna sacrifice kiya hai toh phir dekhna wo tujhe maaf bhi kar degi aur tujhe apna bhi legi." Parth gave him an assurance, thus Randhir smiled a little and hugged him next.

"Thank you, thank you very much Parth. You are a true friend." Randhir said with full of emotions when Parth smiled brightly.

"Not bad Randhir. Dost ko thanks bol raha hai! Aakhir kar tujh mein manners aah hi gaya!" Parth said playfully when Randhir smiled too.

"Okay okay now stop this bromance, or else log galat interpret karenge!" Parth said mockingly when Randhir pushed him.

"You are just impossible." Randhir said annoyingly when Parth chuckled.

"Look at your face man, you look funny!" Parth laughed hard when Randhir smiled too.

"Chal tu haasa toh sahi!" Parth said happily.

"But Parth aaj agar Sanyukta Krishna ko accept kar bhi leti hai tab kya hoga jab use sach ka pata chal jayega? Kya tab bhi wo mujhe accept kar payegi? Kyu ki uss din Sanyukta ke samne Krishna nahi Randhir khada hoga, jisse wo beintehaa nafrat karti hai!" Randhir asked nervously.

"Don't worry Randhir, kyu ki jab Sanyukta ko Krishna ki jhoot ka pata chalega tab use Randhir ki sacchai ka bhi pata chal jayega aur wo Krishna ki jhoot ko maaf kar degi aur tujhe apna legi." Parth assured him.

"Keya Sanyukta mujhe maaf kar degi?" Randhir asked hopefully.

"Randhir tujhe pyar ki taqat ke baare mein nahi pata. Sacche pyar mein wo taqat hoti hai jo impossible ko bhi possible kar deta hai. Tu dekhna tujhe Sanyukta ka maafi aur pyar dono milega. I assure you that." Parth said confidently when Randhir smiled brightly.
