Redemption

58..

Sanyukta never asked for the lionize treatment she is getting. She was sure she would have been just fine in the hospital too. But she know what was going on. It was just not a normal accident. Randhir was right and now she wants to know how randhir is being so paranoid.

She was sure when she looked both sides of the road before crossing it. She could swear she saw a glimpse of smirk other face of the driver of the car. The moment the car hit her she knew he intended to kill her. The way the driver ran over the fallen grocery bags she was sure he would have done the same to her if she haven't rolled away to the side of the road.

The word 'sorry' which she heard as the car pass away she know that it couldn't be more sarcastic. But the voice of the person clicked a button in her memory. She just can't put a finger on it.

"It's you own house randhir, you don't have to sneak in." Breathed sanyukta when she saw his shadow in the dim light tip toeing inside the room.

The lights flick on and she squint her eyes back close.

"How are you now?" He ultra when he reached near the corner of the bed.

"Same as before. Means fine. It was nothing. It don't even hurting anymore. " she said without opening her eyes.

Randhir already knew this was not going to be fructify as he thought it would be.

He had managed three days without interrupting her too much but now he know he have to do what's he is about to do.

"They miss you." He started siting down near her legs.

"I miss them too." She lift herself up to sit on the bed. She was healing fast and she was hoping to see the kids soon.

"I know that you know it wasn't an accident and now I want you to tell me whatever happened that day." He muttered out.

"Please will you stop it. Please. " sanyukta throw the blankets away and turn to get off the bed

"What are you hiding from me?" That made sanyukta stop. She never meant to made him feel that way but she now she did. Now there is only one thing in her mind.

"Why you do even care?" That what she said.

"Why do I care?' He repeated as if checking how it felt on his tongue.

"Yes. Why do you care?" She said tissue time blinking the tears away.

She just know she shouldn't have started this. This is going to be a war. She just wanted to not talk about the incident but now she has made it worse by the question.

He didn't said anything.

Nothing at all.

He just looked down while sanyukta stared at his lowered head.

For a moments sanyukta wanted to take her words back and hold him, run fingers in his hairs.

But then he look up.

The redness of his eyes. His wet eyelashes and the chuckle that he let out was the most sarcastic sound she has ever heard.

"Why do I care?" He laughed again getting up from the bed.

"Seriously sanyukta?" He chuckle a little more stepping towards her.

The shivers she felt by his each step was nothing like ever before.

What should she say now? A 'sorry' or 'I didn't mean to say that'

She just didn't know.

The time he took in coming in front of her, sanyukta stayed still. She was too number to react.

That's when I dropped on the bed with his both hand either side on her. His palms pressing the mattress down. His one knee between her legs. Sanyukta tried to back away but then a hand at the back of her head stop her moments.

"What do you think sanyukta? " he whisper "why I must be doing this? ' "huh" . He inches closer "tell me".

She can't breath. She just know she can't.

"I.. I " she gasped loudly when she feel the hand that was on her head travel to her neck, then to her cheek.

When his thumb reaches her lip she lost it.

'I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.' She breathed. "Really"

She didn't broke the eye contact but she was dying to close her eyes.

It's like something snapped inside randhir and he blinked repeatedly.

He took the next few moments to back off to his full height and then spamming the door shut when he left the room.

Sanyukta just sat there feeling numb.

Thank you so much.
