Seeing the person in front of her Sanyukta was confused. It was an old woman of her mother's age with grey hair and wrinkled skin. She was staring back at Sanyukta with wide eyes and tears running down her cheeks. She looked very sick and pale and had a glucose drip connected to her wrist.

Sanyukta looked at randhir questionably as the that woman was hell familiar. Sanyukta felt a strong connection but couldn't place her. Randhir understood sanyukta's thoughts by looking at her face and came towards her.

"She's your MOM Sanyukta." He whispered to her.

Sanyukta looked at him in utter shock. Her heart almost stopped beating and she fell down on her knees with her hand on her mouth and her eyes as wide as possible. Only one word could escape her mouth.

"Maa." Her voice was inaudible.

The person she had loved the most once, the person who was her universe, the person she thought was dead, the person without whom she had lived like an orphan, was here, ALIVE.

This can't be true!!

"How is this possible?" She questioned to nobody in particular.

"I'll tell you everything Sanyukta, first meet her." Randhir held her by her shoulders and made her stand.

Sanyukta took shaky steps towards the bed where her mother was still sitting quietly. She reached near her and raised a hand to touch her. As her palm reached her mother's face, she held it tightly and kissed it numerous times. Sanyukta couldn't take it anymore, she broke down into loud wails and hugged her mother as tightly as possible.

Both the women soaked each other's clothes with all the agony that was pent up in all these years. Randhir smiled lightly at them and wiped his own tears.

After 15 minutes he went towards them and kept a hand on of their shoulders.

"OK enough for now. Stop crying you ladies." He tried to lighten the atmosphere.

Sanyukta came back to reality as soon as she heard his voice and stood up with a jerk, pulling out of the hug. She looked at her mother with a hurt expression while her face held longing.

"You were alive. You are alive and still I had to live in an orphanage thinking that I am one of those unfortunate kids who didn't have a family, who's parents left her to deal with this world alone and you were here, sleeping peacefully. Didn't you ever miss me? Didn't you think of me anytime?" Her voice held hurt and anger.

She took a step back with each sentence finally reaching the wall. She dumped her head back in the wall to let her tears flow.

"Sanyukta its nothing like you think at least hear her out." Randhir stepped forward.

"Why did you bring her here randhir? I had told you I don't want to meet her, right? Just take her away from me. She shouldn't be here." Spoke her mother for the first time while holding his arm.

Sanyukta looked at her in shock, she thought she would apologize or try to make it up to her but here this woman doesn't even want to talk to her. What was her mistake?

Randhir was about to say something but Sanyukta beat him to it.

"Even I don't want to stay here. If I was so unwanted why did you even give birth to me? What was my fault? But you are right I shouldn't stay here, am leaving, this chamber, this house and your lives forever." She screamed the last line and headed to the door.

The door was locked and she couldn't open it, she kept on trying but it wasn't even moving. She didn't turn back and kept on hitting the door. Meanwhile randhir turned to her mother with an angry expression.

"Maa, till now I did everything you said but not now. Today you have to do as I say and tell her the truth, I don't know about you but I can't afford to loose my wife and baby." He had fire in his eyes.

Her mother's eyes widened at the name of baby. She wasn't told about her grandchild. She stared at him with a blank face and then looked at Sanyukta who was shaking with her back facing to them, indicating that she was crying. She resoluted something and called her.

"Sanyu beta." Her voice was very soft and warm.

Sanyukta stilled at her call. All the sweet memories, as far as she remembered, flushed back and her legs involuntarily turned back.

She saw her mother sitting there with her open arms and loving eyes, inviting her in the warmth of motherly embrace. She ran to her and jumped in her arms, desperately trying to feel the peace. For a moment, she forget everything, all her anger, all her hurt flew away as the closeness of her mother settled in.

"Why did you do this?" She asked in a muffled voice, her face hidden in her mom's shoulder.

"I was helpless baby. I had no other option." Her mother cried.

"What do you mean?" Sanyukta looked up from her hug and stood up, looking for answers.

Her mother took a glance at randhir, fearfully, who still stood there with a firm expression and signaled her to continue.

FLASHBACK

8 years back

Randhir was able yo break the door by hitting it constantly with his body, so forcefully that his arms were bleeding badly. He kicked away the dresser pushed in front of the entrance and rushed inside with his parents following behind.

On entering the room they all saw the most dreaded sight of their lives. Meera was there on her bed, unconscious and stark naked with ankit pounding on top of her mercilessly.

Anger took over Randhir's senses and he took long predator strides towards them. He pulled ankit up from his sister, picked up the big lamp kept on the bedside and started hitting him like a madman. Ankit was too drunk to retort and kept on receiving the blows, shouting for help.

Meanwhile his parents rushed to their daughter and covered her by the scattered torn clothes. Her mother was crying hysterically while her father was shaking badly. One of the permanent servants, who lived in the house itself, called the police and ambulance.

Randhir was beating him senseless. He didn't even realize that ankit was unconsciously lying on the floor with streams of blood around him. Anyone else was too busy with Meera to stop him. It was only when the police arrived, they separated randhir from ankit and declared him spot dead.
