*Present*

"Dadu..." she hugged him and started crying

"Baacha i am okay...see" Pradhyuman said caressing her hair

"No...you are not...If you are okay then how come you landed up in hospital...its minor attack you got and you ....huh...i am not gonna talk to you now. You dont take care of yourself." Sanyukta said in between her hiccups

"Okay..Sorry doll...Dadu is really very sorry..." he said and broke the hug

"Stop crying princess...I hate to see you cry" Pradhyuman wiped her tears and pecked her forehead

"Dadu..why...why dont you take care of yourself" "Why are you so careless about your health" " What if something would have happened to you" " What will I do without you" " I can't imagine life without you Dadu. And you know that." Pradhyuman was silently listening to all her complaints.

"What..now say something. Dont sit like a statue" Sanyukta said breaking Pradhyuman's trance.

"Princess..jab tum sasural jaogi toh "

"Dadu you again started sasural thing...I told you I am not going go anywhere leaving you." Sanyukta replied sternly

"But one day you have to doll..." Pradhyuman cupped her cheeks

"NO" she turned her face to other side.

"Look at me beta."

"NO dadu..." she started crying.

"Okay...Okay...lets have a deal then"

"What deal dadu?" she looked at him

"What if I accompany you to your sasural?" Pradhyuman chuckled

"Dadu again....i dont want to go to any random house....i am...i dont want to get marry..." she said

"Sanyukta doll I want to ask you something" Pradhyuman's eyes held seriousness

"Yes dadu"

"Do you have any boyfriend" Pradhyuman asked her thinking about the promise he gave to Raghuvir

"And why are you asking me this" Sanyukta answered back

"Just like that..." Pradhyuman said still expecting an answer

"Dadu you are just not my Dadu but my best friend too...you know I can never hide things from you. If ever I fall in love you would the first person with whom I'll share the news before that guy..." Sanyukta said keeping her head in Pradhyuman's lap

"I know beta and I trust you. But tell me..do you like someone from your friend circle or at work place. Do you have any crush..."

"No dadu...I dont have any boy friend." "Nor do i like or crush on someone." Sanyukta chipped while Pradhyuman sigh in relief
