"Sanyukta," he said, his eyes watering, as he let go of her hand. "I won't do anything to hurt you anymore. I'm sorry."
Then he stood up and wiped his tears with the back of his hand as her chest heaved up and down in front of him, her back facing him.
He didn't want her to go anywhere, but staying was going to hurt her, and he didn't want to hurt her either. Why was he stuck?
"Perhaps I deserve it," he murmured. "I left you when all you wanted was me, because I was being stupid. Now... I have to pay for my actions."
Sanyukta turned around to face him and he saw that her eyes were filled with tears again.
"You don't have to pay for anything Randhir... I love you," she told him softly, "I love you a lot... and trust me, you will be happy."
He nodded and took a deep breath to keep his voice steady.
"Sanyukta... can I get one last... one last hug?" he told her.
She didn't say anything to him. Instead she just stepped forward and placed her head on his chest, wrapping her arms around him tightly. He held her against him, bowing down to nuzzle her neck with his face. She rubbed his back soothingly.
"First it was me, now it's you," Randhir told her.
"It's neither of us," she whispered. "It's destiny... it's not our fault that we can't see each other unhappy."
She broke the embrace and kissed him on the cheek.
"You'll be fine Randhir," she told him softly and squeezed his hand.
"I don't think so," he murmured.
"I was fine all these years," Sanyukta told him brightly. "I was happy. So you can be happy too... I was just happy to have loved you, does loving mean receiving back love?"
He shook his head. She was right. He would be happy... he had to be happy, because love wasn't destructive. If it destructed, it destructed your old self to make you a better person, that was it.
"Will I get to see you again?" Randhir asked her softly.
"If destiny wants it," she told him with a smile.
"Are you going to marry Rehaan?" he asked her.
"It isn't my choice, is it Randhir?" she asked slowly.
He looked at her blankly.
"What do you mean?" he asked her. "Of course it's your choice... nobody can force you."
"Randhir, one thing I've learned is that, no matter how much you try to make something happen, if it's not for you, it won't happen," Sanyukta explained. "So I'm going through the process of marrying Rehaan right now."
Randhir felt his heart sink.
"Will it make you happy if you married him?" Randhir asked her and she smiled.
"Yes," she told him softly. "Why wouldn't it?"
I thought you loved me, he wanted to say. How could marrying someone else make her happy?
"Do you love him?" he asked her.
"I like him... he's my friend," she said to him.
Then she turned around and started to walk towards the door.
"You'll be fine," she said to him, before she disappeared from the room. "I know you will."
Randhir stood there, shaken by the unexpected turn of events... it was something he had never expected, and he didn't even know how to interpret it.
What Randhir didn't know, was that his world was about to be turned upside down again, very soon.
Sixty Five
It was her wedding day.
The next two months had flown by, and Randhir had left her alone... he had been happy with himself, he had been so satisfied, but today, he knew she was getting married to someone else. He knew she was marrying Rehaan.
He wanted to be happy for her, he really did. With all his heart, all he wanted was for her to be happy... but something felt wrong. How could this make her happy? She loved him so purely. Even if it made her happy, how could he let it happen? Why did she have to settle for second best? She deserved her first choice.
That evening, as Randhir paced back and forth in his apartment, he felt his heart beat fast.
He hesitated as his fingers lingered on his curtains. For the last two months, he hadn't opened his curtains once, to give her that freedom, that ability to live her life the way that she wanted to live it... but today, he couldn't stop himself.
As he pulled the curtain to the side, he saw her in her room, dressed in her red wedding clothes. She was applying kajal to her eyes. Randhir felt time stop for a moment as he saw her.
She was beautiful.
"I love you," he said, placing his fingers on the glass of his window, as he looked at her. "You look beautiful."
He knew she couldn't hear him, but it felt good to say these things aloud, as if she could.
Still something didn't feel right, and he knew he wouldn't be able to sit back and let things happen, when he just felt so uneasy. So, Randhir decided that he would go and speak to Sanyukta.
He was about to turn around to leave his place, when he saw Rehaan enter Sanyukta's room, dressed in a sherwani. He asked Sanyukta something, and she smiled up at him and said something back before he left.
Randhir frowned. So Rehaan was home.
No worries, Randhir would just climb up into her window. He left his place to go and see her.
He climbed up to her window, and then jumped inside. Sanyukta looked up at him with shock and then she ran to the door and closed it.
"What are you doing here?" she gasped.
He walked up to her and grabbed her wrists.
"Come with me," he said to her authoritatively.
"What?" she asked, her eyes wide.
"Come," he ordered.
"No! What's wrong with you Randhir?" she asked him. "Why are you here?"
"Fine, if you won't come on your own," he said, "You left me with no choice."
Then he picked her up in his arms and her mouth opened wide with surprise as he started to climb out of the window.
"Randhir, put me down!" she ordered, clutching his shirt tightly so that she wouldn't fall.
"Just hold on," Randhir told her. "And keep quiet."
"Where are you taking me?" she asked him. "Randhir, what are you doing? Why are you doing this now?"
"I don't know," Randhir responded. "But whatever I'm doing can't be wrong."
"My phone is in my room," Sanyukta said anxiously. "What if Rehaan comes looking for me?"
"Use my phone," Randhir told her.
"Are you crazy?" she asked him. "This is insane Randhir, let me go!"
As soon as he hit the ground, he picked her up properly and walked across the street to his apartment, ignoring the look they got from passerby's.
"I'm crazy," he murmured. "Crazier than I thought."
"Randhir, this is... this is just absolutely crazy!" she argued. "This isn't right! Put me down."
He shook his head. Instead, he went to the parking lot and took out his car keys from his pocket.
"We're going away," Randhir said, as he placed Sanyukta in the passenger's seat.
"What?" she gasped.
"We're going away," Randhir repeated, getting into the driver's street and turning on the ignition.
Then he started to drive.

"Randhir, what's wrong with you?" Sanyukta asked him, as he drove. "This is wrong. This is kidnap. Randhir! Take me back."
He started to speed.
"Marry me," he said to her.
"No!" she gasped. "Randhir, you're crazy. Today I'm supposed to be marrying Rehaan!"
"You're not going to marry him," Randhir said as he drove through Mumbai traffic.
"Randhir, I am!" Sanyukta said adamantly. "Take me back... or I'll call the police."
Randhir turned around to glare at her.
"Police? Sanyukta... why didn't you scream when I was taking you then?" he asked her, but she avoided his question.
He pulled into some dark alley, so he could talk to her properly. He looked around the alley, nobody was there, and it was getting dark.
Randhir stepped outside of the car and so did Sanyukta.
"Where did you bring me?" she gasped.
"I don't know," he murmured. "But we're alone here... I just needed a place I can talk to you."
He could have taken her to his place, but it was too close. Sanyukta could have just run out and back home. Here, Randhir would need to take her back.
He grabbed her arm and pressed her against the wall and looked into her eyes. They were hidden by shadows.
"Why are you settling for Rehaan?" he asked her.
She tried to push him away, but he didn't let her. Instead he pressed his body further against her.
"I don't have to answer anything of yours Randhir," she told him angrily. "You had no right to take me out of my house and bring me here."
He grabbed her jaw and forced her to look up into his eyes.
"You'll be happy with me... and I'll be happy with you," he told her angrily. "Why are you going to marry Rehaan?"
She struggled to push him off, but he still wasn't allowing her.
"Randhir let go of me or I'll scream," Sanyukta warned.
"You didn't scream before, you'll scream now?" he asked her, raising his eyebrow.
She opened her mouth to scream but he pressed his mouth against hers, catching her by surprise, and she relaxed.
"Don't do that," she said against his lips, but he didn't remove his lips from hers.
He tried to pry her lips open with his, but she wasn't opening her lips. He removed his lips from hers and glared at her.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked her.
"Me?" Sanyukta gasped. "What's wrong with you? This is sexual assault! I'm marrying someone else today."
"You aren't," Randhir said sternly. "You aren't marrying him."
"Randhir, leave me!" she said, struggling from under him.
He kissed her cheek and he felt her shiver against him, as her body involuntarily wanted more.
"You say you don't want me," he murmured. "But your body says something else."
He touched her waist softly, and as his fingers caressed the bare skin she shivered.
"Randhir," she whispered. "This isn't right."
"It feels right to me," he said, and then he buried his face in her neck, as his body pressed against hers further in the wall, his desire pressing against her navel.
Her arms wrapped around his back.
"Randhir," she moaned, as he sucked on her neck, "Please."
"Please what?" he murmured, his breath tickling her neck.
She started to breathe faster as his hands slid up the side of her body and gently caressed the side of her breasts.
"Please... stop," she whispered. "We're out in the open."
"You want to go somewhere more private?" he asked her, removing his lips from her neck.
She shook her head.
"No!" she said adamantly. "Randhir, this isn't right. Stop doing this."
"Sanyukta," Randhir told her darkly, as he caressed her cheek softly. "If I really wanted to have sex with you right here, you won't be able to stop me."
He kissed her forehead.
"Remember when we first kissed we were on a wall, just like this?" he asked her softly.
He watched as her eyes closed and her hands fell to his hips.
"Do anything you want," she told him, her fingers lingering on his belt. "You're already insane anyways."

Note: This is slightly mature? It is not too descriptive though. Read at your own discretion.
Her hands slid around his waist to the buckle on his belt and he started to breathe faster.
"It seems like you're determined to do what you want," he murmured into her ear, causing her to breathe heavily.
It was like she couldn't take it anymore, she rubbed him over his pants gently and his grip on her waist tightened.
"I think you can feel how badly I want you right now," he whispered to her.
He let his hands fall to the top of the skirt of her sari, and he started to pull the cloth up. By this point, she had finished unbuckling his belt and had unzipped it. She held on to his pants with one hand, so they wouldn't fall down, as her other hand went to free his desire.
Randhir pressed against her further. While there was nobody else around, he still wanted to make sure she was covered. This was a public area after all.
He pressed his lips against hers and she kissed him back hungrily as his fingers slipped under her panties, causing her to moan against his lips.
"Randhir," she moaned.
He smirked and then allowed his lips to brush over her ear as he whispered, "Today I won't torture you."
Then he pulled her panties down slightly and then pressed her hard against the wall as she guided him into her. She moaned immediately, and so did he. So many months of pent up sexual frustration, of desire to be with her, was finally being relinquished.
"I love you," he whispered to her as he pressed his lips against hers.
It was a short session. He finished really quickly. Then she kissed his cheek. As they were fixing their clothes, Randhir heard footsteps approach.
"There you are," said a male voice, and Sanyukta looked up with fear.
