Sakshi:

"Sakshi, Come here and sit near me. I want to talk to you," Randhir said.

I went to him with fear and sat near him.

"Thank you for helping me to recover fast. Do you really love me or you did everything only to pay me back," Randhir said.

"I did everything only to repay you and as your wife, it's my responsibility to take care of you. That's it. I don't love you."

Randhir laughed which showedhis pain and hopelessness. I controlled my tears as I don't want him to see my tears.

"I know about you. You don't love me. I know you will never change."

Saying this, he caught my hair and pulled it.

"I won't leave you easily till the truth comes out. How many times are you going to hurt me saying that you don't love me? However whether you love me or not, you should stay with me forever. Don't forget that."

He left the hold over my hairs and I immediately went out of the room to another room. I sat on the floor crying.

Randhir:

I love you, Sakshi. I love you so much. Why don't you understand that? Why do you hurt me always saying that you don't love me? Your eyes show love for me but why don't you accept it? I just want to know the truth behind you leaving me? If you love Ajay, then you didn't you marry him? Where is Ajay? Why did you agree to marry me? Is Ajay alive or dead? or did he betray you?

Sakshi:

I remembered Randhir's words asking me whether I love him or not.

Randhir, I love you. I love you so much. But I know even if I say that you won't trust me. I left you when you needed me the most and that was my biggest mistake. Please, forgive me once. I need just one chance.

I heard the sound of the drizzling and went out to the garden. Randhir stood on the balcony and seeing me from there. Rain drops fell all over me as if to comfort me from my sorrow. I closed my eyes and raised the head feeling that these rain drops cleanses my heart forever. My tears mixed with the rain and started flowing down. I sat on my knees and palmed my face crying. I cried heart fully I am holding these tears from a very long time.

Suddenly, I felt everything blank before me and fell unconscious.

Randhir:

I immediately went to Sakshi seeing her falling unconscious while crying in the rain. I brought her to the room and placed her on the bed. I tried to wake her up and she came into conscious after sometime. But, she looked at me with fear.

"Please, I am so tired. Please give me rest for today. I beg you," Sakshi said

She pleaded me with tears. I got angry but felt pity too at the sametime. What happened to me? Why did I become that worst where my wife fears for me even if I care for her?

"You are drenched in the rain. Change your dress. Otherwise you will fall sick. I woke you up for that," I said.

I noticed a small smile appearing on her lips.

"Didn't you hear me?" I said, raising my voice.

"Yes, I am going. I am sorry."

Sakshi said and went to change her dress.

Am I really that harsh towards her? She frightened seeing me. She is fearing with my touch. I didn't wake her up to fulfill my wish. But she thought that I am going to force myself on her. No, How can I do this to her? But no. She deserves the treatment I am giving to her. She is the one who changed me into a rude and cold hearted person. Hence, she is the one who has to face the consequences of my transformation.

Silent tears dropped from my eyes. Seeing her coming to the room, I turned another side.

"I will prepare the dinner for you," Sakshi said, but I pulled her towards me by holding her wrist.

"Why did you faint? I didn't even touch you all these days as I am on thebed. So it is not because of my torture. Then why did you faint? Are you not having food properly?" I said.

She didn't respond to me and tried to get free from my hold. I tightened the hold and pinned her to the nearby wall.

"Answer me, baby "

She frightened with the change in my voice and calling. I understood that she remembered that I calls her as baby only when I get angry with her.

I moved my finger from her forehead to the lips touching her cheeks and nose.

"I...am...on...fasting.."

"Today?" I said.

She didn't reply. I pressed myself towards her. There is no gap between me and Sakshi. She is breathing hardly as I placed my whole weight on her. She bent her head to avoid the eye contact with me. I made her to see me. I grasped her lips and started kissing it. I licked her lips and Sakshi clutched her fist. Though I hurt her with my touch but I still feel that she loves my touch as she feels my love rather than anger. I bent towards her neck and started kissing her all over the neck.

"Why are you on fast?"

I took the pin of her sari and took it from her blouse. She unknowingly answered me.

"For u. I prayed that I will be on fast for one month taking only liquids if you recover fast".

I looked at her. Her eyes were closed and her hands were on my shirt holding my collar tight. I pinned her sari to the blouse again and left her.

"I got my answer."

She came into this world and released what she said just before. Actually how I made her to say the truth. She is looking at me.
