You're Mine Forever - Epilogue - Page 118 (COMPLETED) (Thread 4) - Page 62

Chapter 31 :-

"I will not let her go," he screamed.

He wouldn't let her go this time. He loved her more than he had ever loved anyone, more than he loved himself.

He placed the rack back at its own place to conceal their deed.

He walked to the public telephone and dialed a number.
"Hello?" Randhir told the minute he heard the receiver pick up the call.
"Randhir baba?" kaka asked.
"Haan kaka," Randhir replied.
"Baba kaha ho aap? Chote baba bohot gussa hai!" kaka told.
"Jaanta hoon. Aap Ranveer ko driver ke saath City hospital bhej dijiye," Randhir told.
"Hospital? Sab theek hai na baba?" kaka asked.
"Nahi kaka. Baatein baad mein, maine jaisa kaha hai waise karo. Abhi!" Randhir told.
"Okay baba, mai chote baba ke abhi bhejta hoon," kaka answered.
"Okay, jaldi!" Randhir told and hung up.

Pulling out his car keys, he ran to the parking lot.

CITY HOSPITALS :

"Its 10," Parth muttered helplessly.
"Chachu? You are here too?" they heard someone speak.
"Ranveer?" Parth asked scared.
"What is everyone doing here? And why was I left home alone?" Ranveer asked angrily.
"Umm..Ran...Ranveer act..actually," Kaustuki stammered.
"What are you doing here?" Vidushi asked sternly.
"Senior told kaka to drop me here," Ranveer answered like a obedient child.
"Randhir?" Parth asked confused.
"Yes, now will you tell me what is everyone doing here?" Ranveer asked switching his anger mode back on.
"I'll answer," they heard someone say.
"Senior?" Ranveer told and ran to hug him.
"I didn't talk to you from maybe 4 days," Ranveer told and let out a tear.
"Sorry champ," Randhir replied and hugged him tighter.

Ranveer had noticed Sanyukta's absence but decided not to question anybody about it as Randhir was there.

The group smiled at the cuteness in front of them. They got up and walked to the group. No sooner they did that Randhir picked up Ranveer and made him sit on the settee beside and himself slouched on his knees.

"Champ, there is something you need to know," Randhir told.
Parth smiled knowing what was about to come.
"Yes senior?" Ranveer asked cutely.
"Before that, I am sorry," Randhir told.
"You already apologized senior," Ranveer told.
"This apology is for another reason," Randhir told and looked down.
"And that is?" Ranveer asked.
"You never experienced mom's love in the most tender years of your life and that is only because of me. I am sorry," Randhir told.
Ranveer's jaw dropped open. He corrected it immediately before Randhir could notice. Was his dad really talking about his maternity?
"Umm senior?" was all Ranveer could manage.
"I am sorry champ," Randhir told.
"What happened dad?" Ranveer asked.

Randhir didn't want to break the news of Ranveer's maternity to him without making sure what was Ranveer's thoughts about Sanyukta.

"Umm champ..woh..actually," Randhir stuttered.
"How is she?" they heard someone speak.
"Dada?" Ranveer shouted.
"Champ? What are you doing here?" Vardhan sir asked.
"Senior asked kaka to drop me here," Ranveer replied.
"What?" Vardhan sir asked shocked.
"Hmm," Randhir replied happily. He was happy Vardhan sir had unintentionally changed the topic and saved him.

"Wait a second, when did you come and where were you?" Vardhan sir asked suddenly realising that he had disappeared somewhere.
"Dada, I was at FITE," Randhir told.
"Now I understand why I am getting continuous calls from dean," Vardhan told, "What did you destroy?"
"Umm..th..the whole library," Randhir replied.
"WHATTT?" Vardhan screamed, "The whole library?"
Randhir nodded positively.
"Oh god, I really need to keep you away from FITE!" Vardhan told more to himself.
"Sorry dada," Randhir told.
"Forget that, how is she now? Any update?" Vardhan asked.
"No dada," Randhir answered.
"Oh okay," Vardhan sir replied sadly.

"How is whom?" Ranveer asked.

Silence...

Randhir didn't have guts to answer that question.

"Umm champ San..Sanyukta," Parth replied breaking the silence.
"Wh-what?" Ranveer asked, his voice failing him.
Kaustuki got down on her knees matching her height with Ranveer's. Cupping his face lovingly she told sadly, "Ranveer, Sanyukta is inside in the ICU!"
"What?" Ranveer screamed this time.
"Yes, champ.." Parth started but was cut off.
"MOM!" Ranveer yelled and ran to the ICU ward.

He reached the ward and opened the door slightly. He went in silently after a few minutes.

Unknowingly, Randhir started weeping. Fresh, warm tears made their way out of his eyes as he saw Ranveer run to his mom's ward scared.
He followed Ranveer silently and stood at the door. The sight he saw in front of him wrenched his heart.

Ranveer was standing on a stool, holding Sanyukta's hand close to his heart and wailing.
"Mom!" he shouted.
"Mom, get up!" he yelled again upon not receiving any response.
"Mom, get up!" he ordered.
"Mom, this is not funny. Get up right now," he screamed.
"Mom, please get up," he pleaded as warm tears made their way onto his little cheeks.
"Mom, I will not talk to you if you don't get up immediately," he warned.
"MOM! I WANT YOU UP NOW!" he shouted angrily.

He placed his hand on her cheek and caressed it carefully.
"Mom," he cried.
"Mom, get up please!" he wailed louder.

Randhir took slow steps towards them and finally reached the bedside. He placed his hand on Ranveer's shoulder. He turned around to look who the hand belonged to, no sooner he looked he got down and hugged Randhir's legs. Randhir allowed himself to fall down on the ground as he hugged Ranveer back.
"Daddy, please tell mom to wake up!" Ranveer pleaded.
In response Randhir's sobs only grew louder. They sat there, that way for a few minutes holding on to eachother, tightening their grip on eachother and trying to be eachother's support.

"MOM," Ranveer's words echoed in Randhir's ears.
Randhir slowly parted from the hug as realisation struck him. How did Ranveer know Sanyukta was his mom?

"Champ," Randhir started sternly, his face depicting no expression, "We need to talk, let's go out."

Randhir got up immediately and walked out followed by Ranveer.

Randhir sat on the settee with his head buried in his face. Everyone had pulled out a terrified expression on their faces, they knew what was about to come while Ranveer didn't understand what he had done now? Why did Randhir's last line seem stern all of a sudden? He couldn't help but wait for the silence to break.

"Dad?" Ranveer told deciding to break the silence himself.
No response.
"Dad?" he called out again.
No resposnse.
"Dad?" he called out louder. He decided to wait this time.
After a few minutes, "How do you know Sanyukta is your mom?" Randhir finally spoke up, he voice plainly showcasing hurt.

Ranveer hadn't expected this. He had completely forgotten that Randhir didn't know that he knew everything about his maternity. Unknowingly; in pain, in misery, in the fear of losing his mother, he had addressed Sanyukta 'mom' for 10 times minimum.

He was scared. He dreaded his father's anger, he knew Randhir hated lies and he wouldn't ever grant amnesty to anyone who lied to him.

"Dad..daddy it..it is no..not wh..what you..your think..ing," Ranveer stammered.
"Then what is it Ranveer?" Randhir asked coldly.
"I can explain dad," Ranveer told.
I am all ears," Randhir replied sternly.
"Speak up Ranveer Singh Shekhawat!" Randhir barked upon not getting any response making Ranveer flinch at his place.
"Just answer to my questions," Randhir told sternly.
Ranveer nodded positively.

Randhir didn't feel the need to ask Ranveer to answer all the questions truthfully. He knew Ranveer wouldn't lie to him, ever. "All this, surely, is a misunderstanding," Randhir thought.

Everyone were trying to process the happenings in front of their eyes. Randhir was such a strict dad?

"Who told you that Sanyukta is your mom?" Randhir asked.
"You," Ranveer replied.
Randhir's jaw dropped. "Me?" he asked.
"Yes, on Holi when you weren't in your senses," came Ranveer's reply.

Randhir was stupefied. He had told Ranveer and all this while he thought Sanyukta had told Ranveer.

"Does Sanyukta know that you know she is your mom?" Randhir asked.
"Yes, you told us together," Ranveer replied.
"What did she say?" Randhir asked.
"After you told us, I didn't like her and I stopped talking to her. Later she came and explained to me that she is at fault and that she regrets everything then somehow she managed to convince me and I love her since then," Ranveer told, "I used to sleep everyday in her lap only even after you warned me that day."
"Why didn't you talk to me about it?" Randhir asked.
"I wanted to but mom disagreed," Ranveer replied.

Randhir knew very well why she had asked Ranveer to keep it unknown to him. Had he known, he wouldn't have ever let Sanyukta's breath or her shadow linger anywhere near his child, or so he thought so. He would have been scared that she might snatch away Ranveer from him. She knew his insecurities would overtake his stable mind.

"Sorry champ," Randhir apologized.
"Senior, you have to apologize for nothing!" Ranveer told succeeding in sounding cheerful.
"Hmm," Randhir replied.
"I am going to mom," Ranveer told and walked into the ICU.

Parth's phone started ringing.
"Hello?" Parth asked the caller.
"Hi Parth! Tanmay here," the caller told.
"Oh Tanmay? Tell," Parth told.
"Can I talk to Randhir once?" Tanmay asked.
"Sure," Parth replied and handed over the phone to Randhir.

"Yes?" Randhir told.
"Randhir, very good!" Tanmay told.
"Thankyou, I only regret not killing them!" Randhir replied angrily.
"Randhir, you've done adequate. Anyways, how is Sanyukta?" Tanmay asked.
"The same. No updates yet!" Randhir replied.
"She will be alright soon. Don't worry," Tanmay told.
"I know she will," Randhir told confidently.
"I need to go now, I will call up later. Bye!" Tanmay told.
"Yeah bye," Randhir told and hung up.
"Why did he call?" Parth asked.
"To congratulate me," Randhir replied.
"Congratulate? For?" Parth asked ambiguously.
"I think I know!" Vidushi told.
Everyone turned towards her and found her gawking at the TV screen.
"What happened Vidushi?" Kaustuki asked.
In response, she simply pointed out to the TV screen.
"What is the--who are they!?" Kaustuki asked pullling up a horrified expression.
"Randhir!?" Vidushi called out.
"Yeah, they are those guys who molested Sanyukta," Randhir told angrily.
"And you did..." Kaustuki started but was cut off.
"Yeah! I did that to them," Randhir replied anger dripping from his voice.
"Oh my god!" Sahil gasped.

"Mr. Amit Kapoor and his brother Mr. Vinay Kapoor were found in their house today early in the morning in a wrecked condition. Their body was covered with blood everywhere and their bones broken, jaws punctured, limbs pointing in wrong directions and their face distorted. No one has any information about who caused them this condition and neither they are in a condition to speak about the misfortune. We only have information that they tried to molest a girl at 12 on the road to Roorkee, did anyone close to the girl did this to them? Well, we will have to wait until they can speak again," the reporter spoke.

"Randhir? You? Oh my god!" Kaustuki told and hugged Randhir.
Randhir gladly hugged her back.
"You love her," Kaustuki muttered.
"I know right?" Randhir told happily.
"You love her Randhir!" Kaustuki told again.
"Bimbo, stop repeating it again and again," Randhir teased.
"Who are they but?" Vidushi asked.
"Some bloody famous jeweller's spoilt sons," Randhir replied parting from the hug.
"Spoilt bas***ds!" Parth muttered angrily.
"I will not spare their life!" Randhir told furiously. His eyes not yet happy with their condition.
"Neither me!" Parth told gritting his teeth.
"We will see him," Randhir told his eyes revengeful.

After few hours..

"Randhir?" the doctor called out.
"Yes doctor," Randhir replied.
"I have just checked her up and I have a small good news," the doctor told smiling.
Randhir's face lit up and he smiled.
"Her body has started responding to medicines," he told and sooner he told his face fell.
"What more doctor?" Randhir asked observing his expressions.
"She has started responding to medicines but she is not regaining her consciousness," the doctor completed.
"Is that a bad sign?" Parth asked.
"Yes, I only hope she will regain her consciousness before 24 hours otherwise we cannot tell much," the doctor told.
Randhir fell on the chair with a thud.
"Okay doctor," Parth replied quickly and sat beside Randhir.
"She will regain her consciousness Randhir. We know she is a fighter," Parth told as he rubbed Randhir's back to calm him down.
"Hmmm," Randhir told not paying attention to Parth's words.

He placed his head on Parth's shoulder and unknowingly slipped into a deep slumber.

Everyone had slept except Parth.

After a few hours...

"Sanyukta!" Randhir shouted suddenly, his eyes wide open.
"Nightmare Randhir, relax!" Parth told.

Parth had observed Randhir while he was sleeping and he looked disturbed. His face was drenched in sweat and the lines on his forehead clearly stated that he wasn't sleeping peacefully.

"Nightmare," Randhir muttered softly wiping of the sweat with the sleeve of his shirt.
"Where is champ?" Randhir asked all of a sudden.
"Inside I think," Parth replied.
"Oh okay," Randhir replied and got up, "You'll had dinner?" he added glancing at the clock which showed 8.30pm.
"Everyone has gone to the canteen. I thought we both would eat together and in that way atleast 3 people will stay here with Sanyukta," Parth replied.
"Oh okay! Champ? I'll get him. Stay here," Randhir told and walked to the room.

He walked into the room and what he saw made his heart flutter.
Ranveer was sleeping with his head placed on Sanyukta's right thigh careful enough not to disturb any wires or cause any discomfort to her.

Randhir walked in with a smile and stroked Ranveer's fore head lovingly. He placed a feathery kiss on Sanyukta's forehead and called out to Ranveer making him stir him in sleep.
"Champ? Chalo. You should have your dinner now!" Randhir told.
"No senior, I will stay with mom," Ranveer told.
"If you won't have dinner then she," Randhir told pointing towards Sanyukta, "will rip my head off saying I am not taking proper care of you. I am sure you do not want to see my head separated from my body, do you?" Randhir asked with a pout.
Ranveer giggled.
"Okay Mr. Dramebaaz, chalo!" Ranveer told and kissed Sanyukta's cheek.
"I will be back mom in 10 minutes. Bye!" Ranveer told and got down the stool.
"Wake up fast farzi. I love you!" Randhir told and kissed her forehead.

After dinner...
9.30pm..

"Champ where are you going?" Randhir asked.
"I am going in!" Ranveer replied.
"No you are not going in. Children are not allowed into ICU's or for that matter no one is until there is some prime requirement. It is supposed to be a sterile place champ," Randhir told.
"But mom feels good when I am with her," Ranveer told with puppy eyes.
"Yeah? How do you know it?" Randhir questioned.
"I can feel it," Ranveer replied proudly.
"Shaitan! You are not going in and that is final," Randhir replied sternly.
"Fine!" Ranveer told angrily and settled himself beside Randhir, his face carrying a cute pout.
Randhir smiled at his cuteness and pulled him closer.
"Champ you should sleep, its almost 10," Randhir told.
"Fine!" Ranveer replied still pretending to be angry.
"Champ! C'mon now," Randhir told.
"Okay fine senior," Ranveer told and placed his head on Randhir's lap.
"You always need laps to sleep?" Randhir teased gently stroking his hair.
"Yes, you got any problem with that?" Ranveer asked with that pout still on.
"No no!" Randhir replied.
"Better," Ranveer told closing his eyes.

Glancing around him, Randhir spotted a couple sitting a little away from him. The room they were sitting beside was well known to Randhir. He had come there a few times back at college. The nameplate on the door of the room read 'Sonography'. He smiled recollecting a distant memory of his, *The day they first saw their baby.*

FLASHBACK :
CITY HOSPITALS :

"How much time will they make us wait? We're missing classes," Randhir muttered patrolling the corridor trying to reduce the tension.
"You aren't really bothered about classes. You are tensed about our first sonography. Stop pretending baby," Sanyukta retorted.

She was right. He wasn't least bothered about the classes. He was tensed about their first Sonography. They had come to the nearest hospital to FITE to look at their baby for the first time.

"I am not tensed. You are the mother. You must be tensed but why aren't you tensed? You should be tensed na then why aren't you tensed?" Randhir was asking non-stop.
"Relax Randhir. When ever you are tense you start talking non-stop. Oh god! Why are you tensed?" Sanyukta asked.
"We are freaking going to see our baby for the first time!" he yelled.
"So?" she replied casually.
"So? Just a so? Sanyukta we are seeing our baby for the first time!" he told.
"Yeah I know. Why are you repeating it?" she asked.
"Why aren't you flipping out?" he asked innocently.
"Why should I? I know my baby will be perfect," she told caressing her belly.
"Sanyu, I mean what if he doesn't like us?" he asked cutely.
She chuckled.
"Randhir he isn't coming out today. It might take minimum of 8 months more!" she replied cupping his left cheek.
"I know that!" he defended himself.
"Why are you tensed?" she asked.
"What if there is any problem with our baby? What if he-" he started but was cut off as Sanyukta smashed her lips on his preventing his further talk. After absorbing that her lips were on his in the hospital in front of public he responded by biting her lower lip lightly.
"Kitna bolte ho tum?" she asked after pulling apart.
"And tum ache se chup karati ho!" he replied.
"Randhir our baby will be perfectly alright, don't worry," she assured.
"Hmm," he replied, "I was not tensed by the way," he added.
She chuckled.

"Get in please. The doctor is waiting for you," the nurse told.
"Yeah," Sanyukta chirped happily and got up.
"I was not tensed!" Randhir repeated as they went in.

"You both make a cute wife-husband," the doctor commmented.
"We are not married!" Randhir and Sanyukta shouted together.
"Umm...lovers?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," Sanyukta told, her head hung low.
"Look up child. You both have committed a mistake but you must also be proud that you are not killing this beautiful mistake and that you both are ready to accept your mistake," the doctor told with a warm smile.
Sanyukta nodded looking at Randhir who was smiling.
"Be careful next time until you get married," the doctor told sensibly.
Sanyukta blushed while Randhir smirked.
"Let's see the baby now," the doctor told and switched on the machine.

The minute the picture flashed on the screen Sanyukta put her hand on her mouth trying to stop the overflow of emotions and she clutched Randhir's hand tightly with the other.

"It is so cutee!" Sanyukta shrieked jubilant.
"Randhir, tell something!" she told.
"Randhir! Tell something will you? You were more excited then I was," she told again.

"I will give you both a moment of privacy," the doctor told and went out.

Sanyukta nodded and looked at Randhir who was gazing at the screen intently with his eyebrows furrowed and his right thumb supporting his chin.

"Randhir?" Sanyukta told and shook him.
Randhir came out of his reverie and looked at Sanyukta.
"What?" he asked.
"What what? What happened?" she asked.
"Nothing happened," he replied and turned to look at the screen again.
"What happened Randhir?" she told and held his hand softly.
"Nothing. It is so nice," he replied after a while as a look of satisfaction took over his face.
"I know right?" she told.
"It is only the size of a baseball. When will she come out? I cannot wait," he told.
"Baseball?" she muttered to herself and looked at the screen.

"Randhir, show me where the baby is?" Sanyukta asked after a while.
"Here," Ramdhir replied and pointed at a part on the screen.
Sanyukta looked at Randhir and after a while started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Randhir asked bewildered.
"Sanyukta! Why are you laughing?" he asked again.
"Sanyukta Aggarwal!" he shouted when she didn't stop laughing.
"Rand..hir," she told still laughing, "That isn't the baby."
Randhir jaw dropped down. "What?" he asked.
"That is my placenta not the baby. You thought that is the baby?" she asked and laughed again.
"I can see only that. Everything seems similar, everything is grey!" Randhir protested.
In response she only laughed.

Randhir only wanted to stop her laugh now. He pulled her by her neck and kissed her hard preventing any more chuckles.

"I know how to shut you up too," Randhir told pulling apart and smirked.
"And you do it well," she replied flirtatiously.
"We'll flirt later. Now show me the baby," he told impatiently.
"If I laugh again will I get another kiss?" she asked huskily.

"Despo!" he told and kissed her again, this time more sofly and passionately.
"You are a good kisser I must say," she told after pulling apart.
"Now show me!" he told angrily.
"I wonder how you secure rank no. 1," she teased.
"Sanyukta!" he yelled.
"Okay okay," she told and held his hand and pointed his index finger to a small dot on the screen.
"This is our baby," Sanyukta told as a tear rolled down her cheeks.
"Sanyukta! I asked for the baby. Stop playing around," Randhir told not able to believe that that small dot is his baby.
Sanyukta facepalmed.
"That is our baby Randhir!" she told.
"What? So small?" he asked amazed.
"I am only 3 weeks pregnant!" Sanyukta replied annoyed.
"Okay okay. It is sooo cute!" he replied with a smile.
"I know," she told.
"I will take good care of my princess," he told.

"We will take good care," she replied, "of our prince!"
"Princess," he protested.
"Prince!" she argued.
"Why do we argue so much?" he asked suddenly.
"Because we love each other," she told immediately.

"And I assumed her placenta to be our baby," Randhir thought smiling at his own lameness.

"He slept off?" Randhir asked himself looking at Ranveer who was sleeping peacefully in his lap.
