Part 3
Dear Randhir,
After reading this you probably would never want anything to do with me and I for once don't blame you.When I woke up today and saw you peacefully asleep I realized I had committed the biggest blunder of my life.I felt ashamed and it was wrong.I cursed myself for leading you on even after knowing our relationship could have no future.I mean we don't even love each other or feel that way about each other.I was vulnerable ,I wanted to feel safe and secure and you did that for me.I had forgotten my commitments and our moment of weakness took the best of us.It was wrong of me and it was a mistake.But it wasn't a mistake I regret .Thank you Randhir Singh Shekhawat for giving me the most beautiful night of my life. And this is the last you'll hear from me and don't come looking for me ever,its for the best. I need to start a new life as Sanyukta Mittal and you have your whole life ahead of you and I don't want the memories of last night haunting you.I wish you all the best.
...Sanyukta

He kept on reading it , again and again, everyday.And every time he did he felt the pain of thousands of knives piercing him.She didn't even love me and that's how easily she said it,he thought as he looked at the sky with wet eyes ,lying on the rooftop with the letter in one hand and alcohol in the other.
Its been nearly a month since their last encounter.She was Sanyukta Mittal now, leading a fresh life, apparently. She had asked Kaustuki deliver this letter to Randhir the day she left FITE. All her friends attended her wedding but Randhir, he couldn't and also he kept his promise by not meddling into her life anymore.He was miserable ever since.Looking at his appearance people would wonder when was the last time he used a razor.He had lost concentration and his focus on academics completely . All he wanted was her and it wasn't easy getting over Sanyukta Agarwal.So he was under the misconception that alcohol would help.He had them stashed them under his bed, he was found drunk on various sites on the campus and Parth and Jiggy would help sneak him back into his dorm room without any suspicious eyes following them, they were covering up for him for almost everything. He was a disaster without her , but only if she knew...


-----------------

It was a cold Thursday night , but nothing unusual for Randhir.He was lying on his bed with empty bottles of alcohol, his best companion for the time being when he heard a knock on his door.His roommates weren't around to get the door.He reluctantly woke up and walked towards the door like a zombie,his weak trembling body balancing his heavy head due to his hangover.But when he opened the door it was as if the soberest parts of his body just came alive.His vision was sharp again and he widened his eyes just to be sure again and all he could utter was
"Sanyukta..."

------------------

There she was covered in a shawl escaping the cold winds.She somehow gained access into the campus using her old id card.She was also covered up so that she couldn't be spotted by her friends. She was there just to meet Randhir. But why?

She entered the room and she was deeply saddened to see Randhir like this , in this mess. This is all because of me , oh god what have I done , she thought closing her eyes to stop the tears that were on the verge of pouring out.
Sanyukta: Hi Randhir ! Kaise ho tum ? ( trying to make conversation)
Randhir didn't answer her, he was just staring at her.
Sanyukta: Listen Randhir , I know me coming here and meeting you is the last thing you'd want right now . I know you hate me but there is something...
She was abruptly interrupted when Randhir just pounced on her ,hugging her.
Randhir: I know you'd come back to me.I knew it.( kissing her neck and cheek) His rough stubble brushing against her delicate cheeks
Sanyukta: Randhir stop please ! please.. ( trying hard to push him away)
She succeeded in doing so , he pulled away. She was quickly covering herself again with her shawl which had almost fallen out of place.But Randhir saw it.He saw those scars.She noticed him watching and tried not to make any eye contact. He suspiciously walked towards her asked her to turned around. When she refused he held her arm and spun her around and unzipped her dress only to find more bruises.They were redder and unhealed.
Randhir: (gripping onto her shoulders tightly from behind) Who did this to you ? ( He was holding back his tears)
Sanyukta with was already in tears she didn't want him to see her like this.
Randhir: I Asked who did this to you ?
He yelled at her demanding an answer .He was furious .He wasn't going to spare the person who did this to her.
Sanyukta: Sa..Sa..Sameer !
(She covered her face out of humiliation and broke down)
Randhir clenched his fists.He was angry, he could not bear the thought of any one else hurting his Sanyukta .He knew he wasn't going to let Sameer get away.He saw Sanyukta and all he wanted to do was go kiss her and make her his forever.He went closer to her and lowered his head and started kissing her bruises on her back, kissing away her pain.He couldn't see her like this.Sanyukta melted into it.She didn't stop him initially but she knew she had to.
Sanyukta: Pucho ge nahi Sameer ne aise kyu kya ?
Randhir was confused.He pulled away suddenly waiting for her to elaborate.
Randhir: What happened Sanyukta ?
Sanyukta: Randhir,.. I .. ( wiping her tears)
Randhir: Bolo Sanyukta ! ( holding her arms)
Sanyukta: Randhir ! I am.. I am Pregnant.
Suddenly she felt his grip loosening.He took a few step backwards trying to register the words she just said.
Randhir: Who's is it ?
He knew the answer to it but still wanted to hear it from her
Sanyukta : Randhir, If it was Sameer's I wouldn't be here and neither would I have these scars on my body.
She answers expressing a disgust to his question.She tells him everything.And Randhir was just listening.Here is what happened.
These last few days were hard on her.When she told Sameer about her pregnancy and who the father was he beat her up, physically tortured her and literally dragged her and threw her out of his house.He ignored the fact that she was still carrying a child but he was ruthless.She somehow managed to reach her mom's place but except for her mom no one showed her any sympathy .Her dad verbally abused her and called her a disgrace to the family and showed her the door.She pleaded, she begged but there was no one to listen.He was cruel and so was her brother.She had nowhere to go except coming to Randhir, the father of her child.Randhir was still listening and he shut his eyes and turning around he walks away from his dorm room. Sanyukta leans against the wall and finds herself on the floor holding her knees and crying.But little did she know that Randhir was actually relieved knowing the baby wasn't Sameer's. It was his baby.It was his and Sanyukta's baby. He let out a smile and got into his vehicle and drove to Delhi. As I said he wasn't going to spare Sameer for his actions.
Next day Sameer was found on the street unconscious ,left to die. Apparently he was hit by a car. It was lodged in as a hit and run case ...

Nobody hurts Sanyukta..
Let me correct myself,
Nobody hurts Randhir's Sanyukta...
