"Can I take this one then, mumma?" Riona asked picking up her favourite vegetable from the section.

Sanyukta tilted her head to look back, hearing her daughter's voice. She nodded seeing her daughter holding lettuce in her tiny hands.

Sanyukta inhaled deeply, she had same taste buds as her father. It was a bright Saturday morning and she had a weekend off finally. It had crazy two weeks full of travelling at the point she felt like she still was high in the air. The flight journey first was pleasant but now that made her muscles ache.

She had returned yesterday night and she was very happy to see Riona and Oliver standing there for her. It was first time she had left Riona all alone with Oliver and she was glad that Riona was understanding about this. She was clearly very clever for a six and half year old. Soon turning seven though.

Just as Sanyukta started to walk along with Riona, her eyes fell on the figure in front of them and she gasped, to see him standing there.

Randhir was surprised to see Sanyukta standing there with a little girl. He noticed that Sanyukta looked much younger in her white ripped jeans and orange halter top, the white tone of her stomach and waist was visible. He gulped at the sudden desire towards her but then his attention shifted towards the little girl who was holding Sanyukta's wrist.

She was beautiful, he observed she had long black hair and black emerald colour eyes just like him. She looked split image of Sanyukta then his mind clicked. She must Sanyukta's daughter whom she pinned as his. She surely was Sanyukta's daughter.

Sanyukta prayed that he didn't recognize Riona but small part of her hoped that he would recognize his daughter and apologize to her but then she didn't need his apology cause she was not going to accept him again. He would also break his daughter's heart just like he broke hers seven years almost eight years ago.

Riona stared at her mother confused as why was she staring at the same man. She shook her mother's wrist but even then that had not got her attention. Sanyukta wondered what was he doing here in the very same supermarket she was. Was he following her? He might have landed early as they had a meeting tomorrow in her office. He was dressed casually in grey chinos trousers and a white T shirt along with brown loafers.

"Mumma?" Riona called for Sanyukta giving her wrist a hard tug that got Sanyukta's attention immediately. Randhir almost smiled seeing the girl, she scrunched her eyebrows her button nose raised and lips in a pout, she looked exactly like Sanyukta.

"Huh! Yeah let's go" Sanyukta reacted immediately and pushed the trolley quickly dragging her daughter along. Randhir kept looking at her strangely but then he suddenly felt angry. Surely she was going to hide that she had a daughter from him.

Just like she had tried to pin someone's child on him. Letting out a angry growl he moved forward to pick some food.

He had landed last night. He was staying in the penthouse apartment he didn't know his father owned one.

After he had told his father that he secured a deal with best friend and it was a Goa project his father felt happy, escastic and so gave him keys to the apartment saying that he can use as long as he wants.

To say he was happy having own space he didn't want to stay at Morello's not that it was uncomfortable but because it was free, Oliver was not taking money for te stay so he felt he should no longer stay there.

"Mom who is he?" Riona asked her mother as they were standing in the comfort food section. Her mother was looking pale after seeing that man which made her curious. Sanyukta exhaled and looked towards her daughter who was examining her, she definitely got that quality from her.

"Ayee no one you should know. Anyways did you pick that whipped cream?" Sanyukta said trying to distract her daughter. She didn't tell her daughter about her father and she was not telling now but someday she was planning to tell. The truth.

"Huh! I forgot. I will get it" Riona said slapping her forehead and then she quickly ran towards the next aisle. Sanyukta smiled looking at her daughter and then turned back and walked to freezer. She came to supermarket every month once or twice with her daughter, it was a great bonding time.

She never missed it as she knew that Riona liked picking every item herself and put in the trolley. Also Riona was very found of running around the aisle, it excited her.

"Oops sorry" Riona said rubbing her forehead. She thought she crashed into the wall but then she saw the same pair of eyes looking at her. She looked up, he was the same man her mother was staring.

"Hey are you okay?" Randhir asked bending on his knees. He was walking browsing for a whipped cream and some dark choclate and that's when he crashed into a little running body but then he saw it was Sanyukta's daughter.

"I am." Riona nodded. Randhir looked strangely as before he can reply she was walking towards the aisle. He followed her direction as he had to pick some dark choclate.

He walked and saw the same girl standing there looking at the top shelf glaring while her hands were on the side of her waist. He stood there observing here not making a sound. She was so short and he observed that she wanted something that was placed on the top shelf.

"Why am I so short?!" She huffed and stood there twisting her mouth, Randhir chuckled looking at her. Upon hearing his chuckle Riona looked at him and glared.

"It is rude to laugh on someone" Riona said sternly to which Randhir shut his mouth. He folded his lips and walked towards her.

"I am sorry. Now what do you want? I can help you" he said asking her.

"Whipped cream" Riona rolled her lips, pointing at the bottle. She observed him carefully, he didn't look bad. Randhir was surprised at her request but nonetheless he handed her the bottle. He also picked one for himself.

"I only want one" Riona said looking at two cans in his hand.

"The second one is for me" Randhir explained and smiled at her. He knew Sanyukta was not a fan of whipper cream but guess her daughter liked it.

"Oh. Thanks for the help" Riona giggled and then skipped along while running towards the comfort food aisle. Randhir walked back towards his trolley, still in daze.

"What would you like to have?" Sanyukta asked Randhir breaking the minute of silence. It had been the long hour discussion.

They had talked to the lawyer for the contract and also they booked tickets for Goa. Marilyn had booked the rooms for their stay in Goa hotel. Everything was arranged, they had their flight tonight at eight in the evening and it would take them hardly hour and half to reach Goa.

You. Randhir bit his tongue as he was going to almost utter the same thing to her. Though he hate her but the desire for her was untamed. She was like a cake kept in front of a child and denied access to. It was almost impossible to avoid the temptation, atleast wanting to take a lick. He adjusted in his seat and cleared his throat. He needed to have some coffee.

"A latte." He said to her. Then his eyes fell on the photo beside her. It was of that same person, the attorney whom Sanyukta had just talked now.

He was in the photo along with Oliver, her daughter and Sanyukta herself. He felt hot jealousy swarming in his belly looking at that. He was envy of her. She had a happy family, everything she needed and wished for. She was smiling in the photo holding her daughter.

Sanyukta nodded and buzzed in for Marilyn. She was glad atleast he chose to have something to drink. She had already asked him if he wanted anything, at the start of the meeting but he denied but now he agreed.

"Marilyn please send two lattes please." Sanyukta quickly disconnected the call and looked back at Randhir who was staring at her.

"Why didn't you mention about your daughter Sanyukta?" Randhir asked anger evident in his voice.

It was first time he called her using her full name. It meant trouble. Sanyukta swallowed a lump formed in her throat. She knew he was going to ask the question but not so soon. She started to get panic. On god did he find out Riona is his daughter? Is he going to take her from me?

"Why should I tell you Randhir? You are no one to me and it is my personal information." Sanyukta said as calmly as possible though she was anything but calm. She noticed her answer had made him even more angry. He clenched his fist and stood up.

"Wow. Is it personal now? Did you forgot how you tried to pin someone's child on me?" He mocked her his hands deep inside the pocket of his suit pant.

Sanyukta felt angry at his mockery. He had no reason to mock her not after walking all over her and now demanding answers from him. Angrily she stood up and walked towards him matching his stance, stood exactly in front of him.

"How dare you talk to me like that?" She heard him growl at her her but she did not fear him.

"How dare I? What about you Sanyukta pinning others child on me! Surely you were trying to protect your lover, weren't you? That's the reason you claimed that it was my child saving your lover boy. Huh? Am I talking truth Sanyukta?" Randhir said smirking at her. He was angry. He was angry at her, angry for even desiring her after eight years.

"Oh my god! You're a genius Randhir. How did you find out about my lover?" She said to irk him further. His accusation were making her angry, he was accusing her on basis of nothing but his mind. She walked towards the glass window and stood there stating at him. He had hurt her, even now his words were hurting her.

"Did you see us having s*x? Is that it Randhir?" She further mocked him.

Randhir suddenly remembered the memory, the memory he wanted to forget but kept haunting him. He had heard Sanyukta saying Zach that she had missed him. He walked away from there quickly but he was sure that they had s*x. He angrily walked towards her and yanked her arm with a force that she collided against his chest. She looked at him angrily, her eyes determined and confident. She smelled nice, the fresh smell of jasmine hit his nostrils, her hair were smelling of jasmine and coconut. She looked towards him, her lips luscious shining. It felt as if they were begging to be kissed.

"Does it matter Sanyukta? It is true though, isn't it?" He whispered to her.

She struggled trying to free her arm. He had clutched it in a tight grip. He was a jerk accusing her of something she didn't do. He was now also manhandling her. His cologne was driving her crazy, he was standing so close that she could even hear his heartbeat. She wanted to slap him and also kiss him at the same time.

"Jerk, you're hurting me. Ow what the fuc...."

Before she could complete her sentence he smashed his lips against her. He groaned tasting the cherry flavour in her lips. He pulled her closer by yanking her arm further to which she let out a yelp. He used his opportunity and shoved his tongue in her throat. Sanyukta moaned kissing him, he had the soft pair of lips she ever tasted. She only kissed her ex boyfriend and Randhir though. She snaked er other hand in his hair and tugged his messy hair making him groan in her mouth. They were kissing each other like life depended on it. Randhir let her arm go and lifted her waist like she weighed nothing. Sanyukta wrapped her legs around his waist for support and wound her hands Round his neck pulling him more towards her. He was nibbling her lower lip all while his hand tugging her loose strands and pulling her closer towards her. Her pelvis was dire try in contact with his arousal. She purposely grind against him enjoying his state. She gasped as he bit her lower lip and started to suck her lip harder.

Just as she was about to grind against him again they heard a loud clearing of throat from the door.
