TEN DAYS LATER..

It was the day of Sanyukta's engagement. The whole Aggarwal Villa was decorated like a bride and was buzzing with the arrival of friends and relatives from Bikaner. They were dancing and singing around Sanyukta , who sat in the middle of the hall, mocking at her own fate. She had put on a weak and a fake smile that failed to reach her eyes.

Raima ,who was sitting there in a quite corner, was initially shocked with the news of Sanyukta's engagement . She was upset with her for blindly agreeing to her father's wishes . She had suggested Sanyukta to go and speak to her dad and tell him that she didn't like Sameer and explain to him that she wasn't ready for the engagement but, Sanyukta didn't budge as she had already promised . Raima couldn't see her crying for her broken dreams . She didn't know about the fact that her best friend was madly in love with her own brother.

An hour later, Anju dragged Sanyukta to a room to get her ready. She was made to wear a golden lehenga and matching jewelry. The beauticians, who were called upon had applied bridal make up on her face and slightly curled her waist length hair, leaving it open . They finally placed the dupatta and pinned it on her head.

"Kitni sundar lag rahi hai meri bachhi, Bhagwan tujhe humesha buri nazar se Bachaye

"Kitni sundar lag rahi hai meri bachhi, Bhagwan tujhe humesha buri nazar se Bachaye ." , Anju chipped kissing her forehead. She then took some kohl out of her eye and applied it behind her daughter's ear. Everybody present there couldn't help admiring the beauty in front of them. BUT Sanyukta didn't even bother to look at herself in the mirror. What was the use it ,when she wasn't happy from inside. Soon it was time for the mahurat and they made their away towards the venue where the engagement was to be conducted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There in Shekhawat Mansion, all were dressed up for the engagement and were waiting downstairs for Randhir to join them. They waited for about ten minutes but there was no sign of him. Renuka went upstairs to his room to check on him .She was surprised to see him wrapped in a blanket from head to toe.

"Randhir.... Kya hua beta?? Is everything alright??? Hum sab tumhara neechey wait kar rahe the aur tum yaha aise so rahe ho??"

"Sorry Mom...woh actually , Im not feeling well", he chipped removing the blanket off his face.

"Kya hua beta?? Do you have fever?? ", she asked placing her hand on his forehead.

"No Mom, Bas thoda sa sar dard hai. But, you don't worry. Maine already dawai le li hai. I'll be fine. "

"Are you sure Baccha?? Main ek kaam karti hoon.. main tere saath yahan ruk jati hoon. Your dad and Raima will attend the engagement.."

"Nahi Mom.. Aap ka wahan jana zaroori hai. Warna Anju aunty ko bura lage ga.. "

"Theek hai , but you wont stay alone. Call Karan and ask him to come here and sit with you .

"Mom, Karan is busy with his exams and I dont want to disturb him. Main keh raha hoon na I'll be fine. Jaisey hi mera sar dard theek ho jayga I'll join you guys. Waise bhi venue yahan paas mein hi toh hai."

"Theek hai... lekin agar kuch ho to call kar lean . Okay ??.", Renuka replied caressing his hair

"Okay, Mom... Bye"

"Bye Beta..Take care", Renuka kissed his forehead and walked out of his room , closing the door behind.

As soon as Renuka left, Randhir's eyes were filled with tears.
'I'M SORRY MOM, AAJ LIFE MEIN PEHLI BAAR , MAINE AAPSE JHOOT BOLA.....LEKIN MEIN KYA KARTA, MERE PASS KOI AUR OPTION NAHI THA... I LOVE SANYUKTA AUR MAIN USEY KISI AUR KA HOTE NAHI DEKH SAKTA.."
