"All I wanna is somebody who really don't need much
A girl that I know I can trust"

Randhir's Pov :

Snuck up in a tiny hotel room in the suburbs of the city, he scrunched his eyes open, he was in terrible pain, and it took him a full five minutes to sit up on the bed, switching the TV on, the news read "Sanyukta Agarwal claims her shares in the Sanyal Industry, who is she to the company? And why has she come out of nowhere to take what's not hers?"

A tiny part of him was so excited,another was mad that they said "not hers?" whatever he owned was rightfully HERS! Anyway FINALLY, he waited for this day for a month now. He kept wondering why wouldn't she take it up. He knew he'd named it all on her and disappeared only so that she could be happy and achieve her dream. He knew if he stayed, all the while he stayed, he only caused her pain, intentionally or unintentionally, ALWAYS he was a cause of her pain. He broke her heart, and this last time,she had said "Take it randhir, take it all, I just want you"

That sentence rung in his ears and soul each day. It made him feel guilty and responsible, for making Sanyukta weak. That wasn't the girl he fell in love with, and it hurt him so bad to see her so broken after their 2 week separation. Their love had made her weak, and he'd never wished for that. He wanted to protect her, love her, provide her with all the comforts in life but he NEVER wanted her to be dependant, so much so that she'd not wanna live her life without him.

Little did he know, love did that to people, it wasn't just them. That's the downside of being in love, it's beautiful, but it can wreck you. He hadn't realised that sticking through the worst of times was what made love worth it. He wanted her to be extraordinary alone, even if it meant they couldn't be together. He hadn't obviously heard about her condition since he wasn't in touch with anyone.

Flashback:
Randhir had rolled out of the car right before it crashed. Though he wasn't as lucky as her, the place where he rolled off had a steep cliff, and he rolled down, until he hit his head on a rock and then all the way down. And anyway everyone thought his body was burnt in the crash. The time he woke up, it was 2days later & he saw a roadside TV flash : Renuka Sanyal's son dead in a mishap during a competition, body couldn't be retrieved.

That's when he knew. He took it as a sign. He felt this happened for a reason. He'd walk away happily if it were to improve her life. This time too, unintentionally, but he was a part of what caused her so much pain. Physical & mental. Their marriage hadn't worked out, she'd come back looking like a zombie, he saw what his love did to her, and he dint feel like any part of 'being in love' should look that way, the way her face looked after she'd returned from her training.

"I'll stay away from you, but I'll never stop loving you, I'm gonna watch you achieve it all, I'm so sure you'll make me proud love, and if your happiness & well being is in us staying apart then so be it. Anyway I was never worth you're love, I dint deserve you " he smiled sadly.

" It will be tough to see when you move on, but I'll withstand all of that, cz I know you'll be better off " with that he signed the offer letter of an international company he'd applied for in this month. He had told them to keep his identity a secret & only then would be work with them. They agreed.

PS : Rejoice, Rd's alive. :P
