Chapter no 12

Hum nasht ho jayenge.

1 month later!!!

Tara entered inside Dhruv,s chamber. She was wearing a plain light green Saree and her hair tied in a braid. She looked so simple. Her face and almond eyes reflected only pain longing and hurt.

She saw Mahaveer and Anusuya sitting besides Dhruv. Anusuya was looking at Dhruv with tears rolling down her cheeks as she caressed his hair lovingly meanwhile Mahaveer was trying to control his own tears while trying to console Anusuya while Maharani Durgawati had not got up the moment she saw Dhruv in coma. Tara had forcibly sent her to get some rest and Tara had somehow consoleded Sitara too who was in the same condition and before coming back to Dhruv,s chamber after making both of them sleep. Everyone,s condition was same.

Mahaveer looked at Tara and stood up along with Anusuya.

They consoleded Tara and walked away.

Tara walked towards the bed and sat besides Dhruv.

At this moment, no one could say that she was the beautiful, courageous, strong and caring princess instead she was a broken, fragile girl whose heart was filled with ever so consuming guilt, longing and vulnerability which reflected on her face.

She uplifted her shaky hand and brought it near his hair. She caressed his hair tenderly looking at him for a sigh of improvement but got none. Ocean of tears flowed down her cheeks retracing the path of previously dried ones only moments ago. Her heart suddenly felt too shattered and heavy for her to carry.

Dhr...uv ut...h jai...ye n...a.

Tara begged him with tear-filled eyes placing her head on his chest.

It's been a month since Dhruv has been in coma. Tara would cry, beg and plead for him to wake up everyday. Her heart would shatter loudly in her ears. Everyday she would hold onto a fragile hope only to have it broken.

Dhruv.

Tara tried to call out softly, but her voice came out rather heavy due to continues crying only to be answered by absolute silence which broke something deep inside her.

Her each call, each plead, each cry was answered by absolute silence since last 1 month. which threatened to eat her up.

Her heart clutched rather painfully in her chest seeing her Dhruv in such condition. She looked at the idols who stared at her smiling. She looked back at Dhruv who was still laying motionless on the bed.

Dh....ruv uth ja....iye hum....ein is...s tar..ah da...nd mat dij....iye. Uth ke...r aap hu....mein dant lij...iye, ma...ar lijiye, ch...ila liji...ye. Ku...ch bhi ki...jiye per uth jai...ye

Tara pleaded. Her voice came out as faint and as shaking as it could be.

She interlocked their fingers taking a heavy breathe and rested her head upon it. Tears streamed down her face.

Dhruv

Her heart called out softly while her voice was stuck in her throat. Her heart suddenly felt a familiar warmth and she breathed

TARA I LOVE YOU!!!

Dhruv yelled with all his might. Dhruv held her waist gently from behind and lifted her up in the air. Tara giggled in happiness. Her beautiful silky long hair fell on his face and were gently brushing his neck while she had wrapped her arms around his which were already secured around her petite frame.

The memory gradually faded away leaving behind a girl completely broken like a glass taking away the warmth which the memory provided her for some mare seconds.

Her eyes welled up with a fresh round of tears as her smile faded. She breathed rather painfully looking at his condition as the reality sank in to her. She felt her heart squeeze rather mercilessly in her chest as she shut her eyes, her lips parted in an attempt to breathe. Her heart was racing and her hands tumbled slightly as she held onto his thumb.

She felt someone sliding fingers through her. Her heart started beating loudly against her chest as she felt a familiar warmth filling her heart. Her heart skipped a beat and she gulped. She looked besides herself and found Dhruv standing besides her.

Her heart was filled with pain, hurt, vulnerability, bitter sweet longing, guilt and love. Her heart felt heavy due to the weight of emotions she was feeling since last 4.5 months which had worsened since last 1 month.

She stared deep into his beautiful deep brown orbs with her almond ones shinning with all the emotions that she was feeling. Her heart suddenly felt light looking at this beautiful hallucination of hers providing her the warmth she needed and she finally let go of the breathe she didn't knew she was holding since a long time.

Hum Dhruv Tara hain. Hum kabhi alag nahin honge Tara. Samey Sadi Se Pare

Dhruv,s image said to her, his voice was soft and tender. His words working like a balm, soothing her wounded, aching heart. She smiled shakily not daring to blink her eyes as his warm and comforting presence continued to soothe her broken and aching heart.

She looked at him once. He blinked at her. Tears welled up in her eyes and she blinked her eyes allowing the tears of pain, longing, argony, guilt, hurt and love to roll down her cheeks freely as the beautiful hallucination of hers faded away into thin air leaving behind a scattered soul with her heart bleeding.

She looked at him with various emotions shinning in her eyes and then her gaze went to her waist upon which the mangalsutra was tied around securely.

Maine vaada kiya tha ke main...tumhe... mangalsutra... pehna ker rahunga. Tab se le ker ab tak main yeh mangalsutra apne sath le ker ghoom raha hoon.

The ever so beautiful memory of a few months ago played in front of her eyes and his soft, soothing and love filled voice rang in her ears and her heart started beating loudly against her chest.

Dhruv

Her heart again called out softly with the deepest of longings and the purest of affections.

The memory gradually faded away causing her already red eyes because of crying to well up with a fresh round of tears once again.

She kissed the back of his hand. Her almond orbs filled with various emotions looked at his calm face.

He was in coma but looked so calm and relaxed as if in a deep slumber.

Flashback

Dhruv aisa kaha jata hai ke jisse sab se zyada prem karo wohi kabhi kabhi peeda ka karan ban jata hai.

Tara said softly and her statement gained his attention.

Dhruv looked at Tara with a soft smile and love filled eyes interlocking their fingers.

He raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner.

Tara smiled softly at him as her heart swelled with love for this man in front of her. How well he knows her.

She smiled. He inched closer and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. She felt butterflies in her stomach. She composed herself and kissed the back of his palm and he closed his eyes inhaling sharply feeling butterflies in his stomach.

Toh hum pooch rahe thy ke kya yeh satya mein hota hai Kya?

Tara asked puzzled, referring to the question she asked a few minutes ago.

Haan. Hota hai. Kabhi kabhi hum jisse sabse zyada prem kerte hain wohi sabse badi peeda deta hai per shama bhi mil jati hai. Kabhi kabhi jaldi aur kabhi der se.

Dhruv replied to her question as well as her unasked doubts.

Agar humne kabhi aapko peeda di toh kya aap humein shama her denge?

Tara asked innocently.

Nahin!!!

Came Dhruv,s reply without wasting a second.

Tara,s heart shattered loudly in her ears and she looked at him, her eyes welling up with tears.

Ky...un?

Tara tried to ask normally but her voice came out rather cracking.

Dhruv shook his head sideways and wiped her tears. He kissed her forehead lovingly, holding her close.

Nahin. Woh iss liye kyunke main janta hoon ke Tara apne Dhruv ko kabhi koi chota si peeda bhi nahin de sakti. Badi peeda toh bahot door ki baat hai.

Dhruv said softly cupping her face in his palms lovingly. He gazed into her eyes lovingly. Tara smiled at him lovingly hearing him and nodded her head in positive hugging him. Dhruv hugged her back and smiled.
Little did he knew that his Tara will hurt him the most.

Flashback Ends!!!

Tara came out of the memories. She looked at Dhruv who was laying motionless in front of her. She felt her heart being squeezed brutally. Her eyes welled up with another fresh round of tears.

She bent down and placed her head on his chest and held onto his thumb lightly.

Dhr....uv ut...h jai....ye na. Uth jai....ye. Hu....m na....hin ji sak....te aa....pke bi...na. Hu...mse gus...sa ho jai....ye, dan....tiye, ma....ar liji....ye, jo ke...rna h...ai k....er lij...iye p....er u....th jai...ye. Hu...mse a...ur sa...ha na...h...in ja ra...ha. Hu....m na...sht ho jaye...nge.

Tara pleaded with her head still on his chest and holding onto his thumb lightly, her voice cracked because of the lump raising in her throat.

She uplifted her head and placed a soft, loving kiss on her forehead.
