Days rolled on.

One fine morning.

Randhir woke up but Sanyukta didn't. He find it strange.

He thought of not to wake her up.

He got freshen up and was getting ready for office.

He saw her sleeping.

Now that's something which started bothering him.

He went to her.

He touched her forehead and it was burning with fever.

"Sanyukta...Sanyukta..." He tapped her cheek

"Ohh god you have fever..." Randhir got scared

"Sanyukta wake up...aakhe kholo please" He cupped her face.

She slowly opened her eyes. She was looking weak and dull.

"You have fever Sanyukta" "Come lets go to doctor" He said

"I'll be fine Randhir" "Don't worry" "I have medicines I'll have them" "Aap office jao" she said

"Pagal ho kya?" "Tumhe aaise chod ke office jau?" "Lets go to doctor first..." He said "Randhir..."

"I...." She wasn't able to speak properly

"Wait..let me call doctor here" He said

Soon the doctor came and examined Sanyukta.

"What happened doctor?" Randhir asked

"Viral infection..." "I think...we should do blood test" "I will prescribe some medicines" "Please give her without fail" Doctor said

"Blood test?" Randhir exclaimed

"Don't worry...its nothing serious" "You can take her to nearest a phyathology lab for test" "And once report are do let me know" Doctor said

"Sure Sir...thank you so much" Randhir said

Randhir informed Parth about Sanyukta's illness.

He took a leave from work and book a cab for them.

"Come on Sanyukta..." "Lets go..." "Blood test karvane ko bola hai doctor ne" "Maine lab se appointment le li hai aur cab bhi book kar li hai" "Come..." Randhir said

Randhir covered her with shawl.

"Will you be able to walk?" He said

She nodded in YES.

Randhir helped her in walking.

She was losing her balance while walking.

He picked her in his arms.

They got down where cab was waiting for them.

Randhir placed her inside cab and settled next to her.

He rested her head on his shoulder.

"Oucch..." Sanyukta screamed in pain as the nurse injected the needle of injection in her vein.

She sequeezed her eyes to reduce pain.

"It's done...." Randhir said

The nurse smiled at couple.

Randhir was about to pick her but she stopped him

"Kya kar rahe hai aap" She said

"Kya?" "God main utha raha hu tumhe" He said

"Randhir par yaha...sab dekhenge" She said

"Dekhne do...wife ho meri...aur weak ho chal nahi sakti" "Isliye utha raha hu" He said picked her up in arms

"But,...."

"stop arguing..." He said

She kept mum. They came back home. Randhir made plain khichdi for them. He started feeding her.

"I am sorry...you have to leave all your work because of me" She said

"Are you crazy?" "Nothing is important than you...for me" He said

She smiled.

"Hum bachpan main jab bimaar padte the na...toh Maa hume aaise hi khana khilati thi" She said

He smiled hearing her words.

"Thank you" She chirped

"No need...its my duty" He said

"Come on now take this medicines and sleep" He said She gulped the medicines.

Randhir was working from home while Sanyukta was staring her husband with affection.

She was awestruck by the way he cares for her.

She was smiling thinking all those beautiful incidents happened between them.

Her eyes were sparkling like a love struck teenager sparkles on seeing her crush.

"Wait...!" "What....LOVE?" She questioned herself

"Love..." She said.

A serene smile appeared on her face. She got from bed and went to him.

He was busy working on laptop didn't realise her presence.

She kept staring at him and smiled like maniac.

She set her hair free from the pony tail and let them wave freely in air.

" Be-baat khud pe marne lagi hoon Marne lagi hoon

Bebaak aahein bharne lagi hoon Bharne lagi hoon

Chaahat ke cheete hai, khaare bhi meethe hai

Main kya se kya ho gayi

Zara-zara fitrat badalne laga dil mera Zara-zara kismat se ladne laga dil mera

Main pareshaan pareshan pareshan pareshaan

Kaisi madhoshiyaan…

Main pareshaan pareshaan pareshaan pareshaa

Mastiyaan Mastiyaan…

Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan

Aatishein woh kahaan

Main pareshaan pareshan pareshaan pareshaan

Ranjishein hain dhuaan haan.."

"Sanyukta...." "Sanyukta..." Randhir shake her shoulder lightly.

Sanyukta came out of trance.

"You okay now?" He asked

Sanyukta was still in daze. She couldn't react. She was dreaming. She realised it.

"Sanyukta..." He cupped her face.

"Tum thik ho?" "Kaisa feel horaha hai aab?" He asked

"Hmmm...hum thik hai" She didn't match his eyes.

She got up from bed and dashed inside washroom.

Randhir find her behavior weired. After sometime.

Sanyukta was feeling better now.

But she was still in her dream zone. Randhir made coffee for them.

"Your reports are normal" "Just had a word with doctor" Randhir informed

"Hmmmm...." She responded blankly

"Tum thik ho na?" "Shall we go to doctor again if you aren't feeling well" He said

"No...I am fine" She said and avoiding the topic and him too.

"I want to sleep....Can I go back to room" She asked him

"Sure...." He replied

Sanyukta went back to room and lay on bed. She closed her eyes. Only and only Randhir came in front of her eyes. She smiled. She opened her eyes again and found Randhir in front of her eyes. She didn't responded. She thought she is dreaming again.

"Sanyukta..." He said.

She shut her eyes tightly.

"Sanyukta...listen..." He went to her and settled on bed.

"Sanyukta...." He said again

She covered her face with blanket.

"Sanyukta..." He pulled the blanket down.

"Kab se bula raha hu tumhe sunai nahi deta" He was loud and rude.

"No...it wasn't dream" Her heart said.

"What's wrong with you?" "Why are you behaving so weird" He asked

She has no answer to his questions.

"Sanyukta I am asking you something" He said

Her eyes welled up. He never shouted on her. He was loud and rude this time. Randhir realised it.

"Sanyukta sorry...tumpe chilaya..." "But what happened?" "I am worried for you...." "Why are you behaving like this" "Are you not still feeling well?" He asked calmly this time.

She sat straight and hugged him tightly.

"Sanyukta..." He hugged her back

"Hume kabhi chod ke mat jaiye" She mumbled softly.
