The next day Vihaan came to pick  Saanjh up from her house and after taking permission from her family he took her out in his car.

"So where do you want to go?"Vihaan asked while driving the car.

"Vihaan,You always fulfil my wishes .You do everything I say or want.That's why,I've decided that today I'll fulfill your demands.So you tell me where do you wish to go? "She said and he eyed her suspiciously.

"Can I ask what's the reason of this special treatment?"he questioned, raising his eyebrow.

"There's no reason."She answered but he wasn't satisfied with it.

"Umm...I guess I know the reason.You're giving me special treatment because of my injury, aren't you?"he asked after a moment of thought.

"You can say so."She didn't correct him.

"You know what?"He spoke after a moment in a soft voice.

"I'm ready to get hurt everyday If I can get such special treatment from you in return."he finished his statement,his eyes are still on the road .

"But I don't want you to get hurt for me."She muttered under her breathe.

"Huh?Did you say something?"He threw her a questioning look .

She smiled and shook her head"Nothing."

"Now tell me what do you want to do today?I'll do everything you say."she said.

He turned to smirk at her "Everything I say?"

"Yes.You just say it."she confirmed.

"Well,I don't want anything special.I just want to enjoy this sunny day with you,taking a walk with you,having delicious food with you and doing some shopping with you.All I want to be with you."His wish touched her heart and warmed her eyes.

Tears that didn't fall as she blinked them away and put on a smile before he noticed.

"Alright.If that's what you want,then so be it."she agreed and then they spent the whole day exactly the way he wished for.

Vihaan and Saanjh did a lot of fun together.Vihaan felt happy thinking that they were finally acting like a couple.  But only if he knew what was going on in her mind.

"Hey,Vihaan!"Saanjh called him out before he could get back into the car after dropping her off .

He looked at her direction"What?"

"Thank you for this day and for everything you did so far for me .I am very much grateful to you.Thanks for being my guardian angle!"She said with a smile.

He got stunned for a moment by her sudden express of gratitude.

"What's got into you?You're behaving quite strange today."he was amazed.

She didn't answer, just let out a soft chuckle.

"Good Bye!"she waved her hand at him.

"Bye,Goodnight!"he waved back.

She put down her hand and giving him one last smile ,she got inside the house.

Seeing her going inside the house,a sudden void filled into his chest that he couldn't recognize.

Standing there for more than 10 minutes , finally he got into the car and left the place in confusion and uneasiness .

Something didn't feel right to him.

.................

"Dear,Think about your decision once again."Avinash requested to Saanjh who is busy in packing her luggage.

"Yes,dear,this is not the right way to leave.Will all the problem get solved if you go away?"Suman told her.

"Mom,I am the root cause of everyone's problem.Hence,It would be better if I go away from your lives."Saanjh replied coldly .

"What about Vihaan bro?Do you have any idea what will happen to him if you go away like this?Without informing him?"Tarun demanded.

"Biggest threat to Vihaan's life is my presence near him.So It'd be better that he learns to live without me rather than losing his life by being with me."She said as Pain and guilt manifested in her eyes .

Saanjh understood by now that the spirit wouldn't let Vihaan live as long as she was in his life.And she was also sure that he wouldn't be able to get over her if he kept seeing her.That's why,to save his life, she had taken this decision of going away from his life.

"My child, don't be so stubborn.Why don't you understand? Leaving like..."Avinash couldn't finish as Saanjh interrupted him.

"Dad,I've already understood it.You all needs to understand now.It's better for everyone If I go away."She said agitatedly,jerking on the zipper of her bag.

"Sis,Only we know how we've spent one year without you.Again you are
leaving us .Please don't do this to us.please don't go."Tarun requested.

"Please guys! It was very tough for me to take this decision.Don't weaken my resolve by trying to stop me....by pleading to me."She requested in a low voice.

"Please allow me to go."she pleaded as a single tear dropped her eyes.

She was losing confidence,starting to feel guilty.

Avinash and Suman met eyes for a minute as if communicating without speaking words.

And then after a long pause,Avinash heaved a deep sigh and broke the silence.

"Alright,dear.If that's what you want, we won't force you anymore."He said ,defeated.

Saanjh smiled with teary eyes"Thank you,Papa."

"And Please none of you should tell Vihaan about my whereabouts."She insisted.

They only nodded,glumly.

"One more thing I want you to do for me."She added as she stared down at her engagement ring.

Fresh tears formed in her eyes for what she was about to do to him.But she had no choice.
