Tale Of A Marriage

Part 11 : Last Wish

P.S. No proof reading done for this part. Pardon my mistakes

"Ohh shit" he quickly got inside and took his head into his lap

He immediately called Raghuvir and Pradhyuman was shifted to hospital.

By the time Sanyukta was completely unaware of the happening.

"Doctor....how is he?" Randhir inquired

"I'll not keep you into false hopes...He is very critical...His body organs have already started failing....Not much time...only few days" Doctor informed

"No option left? Can't we save him?" Randhir asked with hope

"NO...its last stage...no point of operating him...in fact operation will lead him to painful death..." doctor replied and left

Just then Randhir's cell buzzed with Renuka's name

"Hello Maasa...hows Sanyukta?" Randhir asked

"She is sleeping...She has little fever" "How's everything there?" Renuka informed

"Please take care of her" "Maasa...He is critical..." Randhir informed

"Ohh God..." She looked at Sanyukta

"Maasa I'll talk to you later...Doctor aarahe hai" Randhir disconnected the call

"Call Sanyukta please...patient unse milna chahte hai" doctor announced

"Doctor..She is at home. Anything serious?" Randhir inquired

"No...He is conscious now...Wants to meet Sanyukta...Please call her" doctor informed

"Okay..."

"Randhir...go home and bring Sanyukta here" Harshvardhan suggested

"Hmm..."

He came back home

"Randhir..." Renuka exclaimed

"Maasa...Dada wants to meet Sanyukta...I am here to take her to the hospital" Randhir informed

"Okay...but she is sleeping..." Renuka said

"But..." Randhir stopped when he found Sanyukta at the door

"What...What happened to Dadu?" She was horrified

"Nothing Sanyukta...Dadu is fine okay...He is just admitted to hospital okay...He wants to meet you" Randhir informed her

"Why didn't anyone tell me this?" "What happened to Dadu?" Sanyukta asked Randhir

"You are unwell Sanyukta...you had fever" "Me Bapusa and Dadasa shifted Dadu to hospital" "He was unconscious but now he is fine and wants to meet you" "I am here to take you with me to the hospital"

"I want to see him" Sanyukta whispered while Randhir nodded in yes

Randhir, Sanyukta & Renuka left for the hospital

Sanyukta got inside to meet Pradhyuman

She wasn't crying anymore nor complaining. Her face held certain calmness. She was silent. Her eyes were swollen but were powerful enough to convey her heart. Her face turned pale due to fever but that charming smile was missing. Her heart had so much to say but she didn't let it come on her face and in eyes.

She settled down on stool and caressing Pradhyuman's head.

Pradhyuman opened his eyes and saw her siting next to him.

His condition is critical. He knows it. She knows it and they have now accepted it.

A sad smile appeared on his face seeing Sanyukta.

"Princess..." he mumbled

"Hmm" she replied with a sad smile

"MY LAST WISH..." and he broke down

He was sobbing while Sanyukta hugged him.

The duo shed tears letting their hearts out to each other.

Some time later

"Coffee" Randhir handed her a mug and settled down beside her

"Thanks" She chirped

"He is fine now..." Randhir said

"Hmm"

"Are you fine?" Randhir asked out of concern

"Yeah..." She looked at him

"Okay...You sit here...I am here only...Call me if you want something" Randhir said and was about to go when she stopped him

She held his wrist and Randhir

She looked upto him and he turned back where their eyes met

Randhir could read her eyes. Her eyes had pain. Her eyes had tears.

"Sit" she muttered

He sat down beside her

"I have never imagined my life without Dadu" "I always thought her would be there with me always" "He will never leave me alone" "But nothing is permanent in your life" "Nothing stays with you forever" "One day everything has to go..." "What remains is...memories" "Some good some bad" "Memories are your life time assets" "And I have accepted it" "I have accepted it Randhir" She broke down

"I understand Sanyukta..."

"He did so much for me" "He has done everything for me but asked nothing in return" "Now its my turn" "I want to fulfil his last wish" She said

"Dadu wants us to get married" She said and looked at him

Randhir kept mum.

"What do you want Randhir?" She asked him

"Sanyukta....I" He fumbled

"Its a promise our grandfather did to each other" "But I don't want you to go against your will and marry me" "You have every right to take decision of your life" "And..." She was interrupted by him

"Whatever your decision be...I'll accept that" He said confidently with genuine smile

"Randhir...I want you to think..." "I mean...I don't want you to marry me because of some promise or anything else...Don't force yourself" She was blabbering when Randhir hold her hand and said....
