"Maa" sanyu chipped in a very slow voice.
Her voice was shaking.
She was too numb to say much.
Randhir said that she was forgiven for her past deeds.

But she knew, she was never forgotten.
Infact randhir, said those words to lessen his guilt because of his behaviour with her in past few days.

"Haa sanyu.
Kya hua?
Kuch chahiye tujhe bachhe?" Renu asked in a very motherly feeling.
Sanyu was so touched by renu's generosity.
How can she be so cruel with this lovely woman.

"Maa mujhe aapki godi mei sona tha" sanyu chipped taking renu a slight aback.

Sanyu was behaving totally opposite.
She never behaved with renu like this.
Infact she loathed renu .
But sensing sanyus state of mind renu opened her arms for sanyu.

Within a blink sanyu was renu's arms.

It was post lunch time hence no one were at home.
Renu was about to leave for her massage parlour but stopped for sanyu.

Vidushi was at her parents home with krishi to change her as well as krishi's mood.
Well her mood was all okay but randhir forced vidushi to go at her place for few days.
His plans were different.

Both the men's were out for office and servants were resting in their quarters.

Soon renu's hands reached in sanyus mahogany hairs and sanyu for the first time felt that motherly touch.
Though meneka loved her like her own mother but her revenge plans did created so many restrictions that the poor soul never got love of a mother.

But god never kept sanyu deprived of the motherly touch as renu was there for her.

"Sanyu beta....tune khaana kyu nahi khaya aaj?" Renu asked massaging sanyus scalp like a perfect mother

A tear drop trickled down from sanyus orbs .
"Woh...bhuk nahi thi maa....(controlling her sobs) aaj breakfast kuch jyaada hi ho gya tha naa isliye " she reasoned in her heavy voice.

"Thik hai " renu smiled still caressing her hairs.

After some massaging and soothing , sanyu slept on renu's lap like she didn't slept for years this peacefully.

Suddenly someone knock the door.

Renu patted sanyus forehead just like a mother pats her baby's back when shez asleep.

She carefully kept sanyus head on the pillow and kissed her forehead.

Opening the door she found harsh waiting outside.

"Aap iss waqt" ? Renu questioned him taking his bag.

"Haa woh...." harsh stopped in between watching sanyu.

"Yeh yaha kya kar rahi hai?" Harsh asked looking at sanyus sleeping figure.

"Bachhi bohot chain se soyi hai aaj" renu smiled.

"Mere bete ki zindagi Barbaad karke " harsh taunted.

"Suniye ji....jo kuch bhi hua kya aapko sach mei lagta hai sanyu akeli responsible hai?
Jiji galat nahi ?" Renu asked.

"Huh! Meneka hi toh saari baat ki jad hai.
Pehle meri aur randhir ko akele chod gyi.
Phir sanyukta ko yaha bhejkar tumhe dukh pahunchaya.
Itna hi nahi randhir aur krishi ki zindagi bhi barbaad ho gyi.
Vo toh bhala uss vidushi ka jisne krishi ko maa ki tarah pala.

Bhale hi mera beta compromise ki shaadi ji raha ho par atleast woh khush toh hai.

Aur yeh...yeh sanyukta isne toh bohot jyaada suffer kiya hai.
Kya bana diya hai isse.
Narak jaisi zindagi bita rahi hai yeh bachhi.
Dukh hota hai mujhe isse dekh kar.
Par hum kuch kar bhi nahi sakte ab" harsh sighed and looked at sanyu.

Renu sat besides him and kept her hand on his shoulder.

"Sab thik ho jaega.
Aap tension mat lo" renu chipped.

"Bhagwan kare yahi sach ho" harsh said and looked at ganeshji 's photo.

Later at night after having dinner which was prepared by sanyu , sanyu was resting on renu's lap.

Even harsh was there watching both of them.

He was not angry on sanyu anymore because even she wasn't totally at fault.

She was brainwashed and trained.

Randhir was still out .

Coming out of their room , sanyu closed the door and wiped her tears.

"Sorry" she said to herself.

Coming in her room, sanyu started packing her belongings.
Her eyes were raining.

She never thought that her life will take such a big twist.

Packing her bag she came to krishi's room and caressed his pics on the walls.
"My baby.
M so sorry.
Mumma is so bad ki woh aapke saath nahi reh sakti ab.
Agar mumma yaha rahi toh papa ko taklif hogi aur mumma yeh nahi chahti.
I don't want to repeat my mistakes " sanyu cried kissing krishi's pic.

Coming to another snap was a pic of krishi with vidushi and randhir.

"U are so good vidushi.
Mujhe pata hai tumne mujhe yaha mere bikhre hue rishte judane layi thi par tumhe yeh nahi pata vidushi ki rishte ab tinke ki tarah bikhar chuke hai sirf meri vajah se.
Tum bohot achhi ho.
Bhagwan tumhe aur tumhare baby ko humesha khush rakhe" sanyu smiled.

"Randhir " she came to his single pic and cried her heart out.
" I never knew that someone could love someone to the extent where he knew he will get nothing but still he will love that someone crazily.
And my someone is u.
May be was u.
Maafi magne ke kaabil nahi hu pata hai.
Phir bhi......i m sorry....i m sorry randhir to spoil ur life completely.
I don't deserve u...
I don't deserve ur love too.....
Kyu aaye tum meri life mei....kyu ...kyu bhagwan ne mujhe paida hote hi maar kyu nahi  diya.
Kyu.....???" Sanyu yelled and cried but no one was there to soothe her pain.

She was alone.
All alone.
