My back started hurting and I uncomfortably shifted on the...couch. I got up at once I realised my state and last night incidents came back to my mind. Tears accumulate in my orbs thinking about it. But I compose myself as tears are not going to give me my answers.

It's six in the morning. I decided to freshen up first. I took my clothes and all the other essentials from my bag and dash inside the bathroom. After a good fifteen  minutes of shower I came out. I sat before the mirror and started to dry my hair. I looked at Randhir from the mirror he was still sleeping. Now, I remembered that he was drunk last night. He might have a hangover. I got up and tied my hair into a bun.

I headed downstairs and found the kitchen in the left. I quickly searched for lemons and made a lemonade. I was careful enough to not make any noise as everybody is sleeping. They all must be tired. I went to our room and placed the glass on the bedside table.

"Sanyukta are you up?" I heard Malini aunty call me from outside. I opened the door. "Good morning aunty" I said. "Good morning beta and I told you yesterday only to call me maa" she said. "Okay..maa" I said. "We are leaving to Hyderabad today as sampath's aunt is not well. I'm sorry to leave you alone. But I couldn't do anything" she said. "Its totally fine. I will manage" I said and she smiled. "Come down after you get ready" she said and patted my cheek lovingly and left.

I dressed myself before the mirror with some minimum makeup, Put on some bangles , filled my parting and adjusted my mangalsutra. I went down once finally looking at Randhir.

"You look so pretty sanyukta" maa said as I entered the kitchen. "Thank  you maa" I said. "She is Sharmila . She will be there to help you" she introduced a maid. "She's been working here for the past 9 years" she said. I smiled at her.

"Randhir is still sleeping, right? I don't know what was so urgent that he couldn't even spare his wedding day?" She sighed. She was right. What was so important? That he left immediately after the wedding and returned in the middle of the night that too drunk.

"Umm..maa can I ask you something?" I asked her. "Ask beta" she said. "Is Randhir, Randhir Singh Shekhawat?" She stopped her work and turned towards me. " Yes. He is Randhir Singh Shekhawat. He is not my son but he is my elder brother's son"she said. If this was the matter then why did Randhir tell me to ask my father?

"I'm not his biological mother but i loved him like my own son" she said with tears in her eyes . I hugged her and she hugged me back. I felt bad for asking her about this and making her cry. She broke the hug .

"Once go and check on Randhir, beta" she said. I nodded and headed upstairs. I was climbing the stairs when I heard something​ break from our room. I quickly rushed and found Randhir standing near the window. I looked around and found the glass which contained lemonade on the floor, in pieces. I saw that the glass pieces contained blood stains. I looked towards Randhir and I could see his hand dripping blood.

I went towards him and took his hand in my hand. I was searching for the first aid box when he jerked his hand out of my hold. "Randhir it's... bleeding" I said.

"So what? Huh? Did I tell you it's paining?" He said with fury in his eyes. I could see how angry he was. My eyes already started flowing . I felt that it was my fault that he got hurt.

"Stop this drama of yours and stay away" he said pointing a finger at me. I did not know why he was behaving like this? He thinks I'm acting? What did I do? I couldn't think of anything.

"Why do you think that I'm acting Randhir?" I asked him as my throat went dry.

"You tell me. Why are you doing this?"
"Because I ..I love you" I told him. I never thought that I will confess my love in this type of a situation.

He started clapping his hands and said "wow. Just wow. You love me? Or my money" he said my shooking shoulders.

My senses went numb hearing him.
He really thinks I love him for his money? He really thought so low of my love?

He left me with a force and I stepped back. He started walking out of the room.

"Why do you think that I'm behind you for your money? I asked him as I turned towards him. His back was facing me.

"Because it's in your blood" he said and left the room.
