Part 19 : I still love you...

Sanyukta heard a knock on door

She opened the door

"Yes..."

"Your brother has come here to meet you" the lady informed

"Brother?" Sanyukta got confused

"Remember...you have just 1 hour to meet" "And happy birthday" The lady left

"Bhai..." She thought for a while

"Randhir..." She mumbled

"No...he will not come here" "He doesn't even remember my birthday" "Yaha aana toh duri ki baat hai" "I am sure..Aryan or Ankit bhai hi honge" "To surprise me..." She thought

She went downstairs

"He is there...in visitors lounge" warder said

Sanyukta went there

She saw a cake and flower bouquet kept on table

"Happy Birthday Sanyukta" came Randhir from behind

She turned back immediately.

6 months.

They are seeing each other after 6 months

"Randhir..." Her voice choked

She cannot believe her eyes.

Randhir smiled a sad one.

"Sanyu..." He mumbled

Tears made their way.

A long silence prevailed for sometimes

They were just looking into each other's eyes like never before.

"Why are you here?" She asked breaking the silence

"To meet you Sanyukta.." He replied

"Why?" "You didn't even care to contact me in this 6 months" "You..forgot me" Her voice was weak

"Please Sanyu.." "Don't say this" "I can never forget you" Randhir said

She turned to other side.

"I am sorry"

"I know I was wrong"

"I was grumpy"

"I became selfish that time"

"I had a fear in my heart of losing you"

"I can't...can't stay away from you na..."

"Tumhari aadat hogayi thi..."

"I wanted you to stay right in front of my eyes"

"Became possessive..."

"Sorry for everything Sanyukta"

"Come back to me..."

He said

"It's so easy for you" she said

"It wasn't easy for me Sanyukta" he said

She smiled sadly

"You got so busy in life..." She said

"Was preparing myself...to impress your family" He said

She didn't reply to that

"Sorry Sanyukta..." He said it again

"Even you didn't call me Sanyukta..." He said

"Yeah...right" "It's you...who didn't wanted to talk to me...that day" "When I was leaving for Delhi" she said

"You know how I am Sanyukta..." "Impulsive..." "short tempered" "Bohot gussa tha main" He said

"And your this qualities have always came between us" she said

"I will make sure from now onwards...I will control it" He said

She turned to face him.

"You said long distance relationship don't work" She said

"What are we now, Randhir?"

"What...are we?"

"What is the status of our relationship"

Her voice broke on the last word

He grabbed her shoulders tightly

"We are still the same Sanyukta & Randhir who love each other madly"

"We are still the same Sanyukta and Randhir...jo chup chup ke terrace pe milte the"

"We are still in relationship, Sanyukta"

"Nothing is over between us...and it can never be"

"This distance...this time span have actually strengthen our relationship"

"I still love you... I seriously love you" "I madly love you"

"And I have realized your importance in my life"

"You are my lucky charm"

"You are my everything..."

"My life...my breathes, my heart...my soul" "EVERYTHING" "AND I STILL LOVE YOU" 

He said

She took some steps backward

He was looking at her.

"Sanyukta,I love you" He said

She turned around.

She started taking steps away from him.

"sanyukta..." "Sanyukta please..." "It's not over..." "I know you still love me..." "You love me Sanyukta..." He shouted and she stopped in the middle

She closed her eyes hearing that.

Yes she still loves him.

Her heart said and her mind agreed

She turned back.

He was still standing there.

"I love you" he mumbled

"I am sorry..." he said

She started taking steps in his direction now

He opened his arms...and she flew in his arms

"I love you" She mumbled

He hugged her more tightly

And the time stopped
