Next Day

Morning!!!

Kya hua Tara?

Dhruv asked her softly. He reached out and gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. Tara smiled thinking about the incident that happened yesterday.

Dhruv aapko sach mein kuch yaad nahin hai kya?

Tara asked, her voice filled with genuine curiosity.

Dhruv gently cradled her cheek and looked at her softly.

Kya yaad nahin hai?

Dhruv asked confused. His eyes searching hers, his hand caressing her cheek with tenderness.

Jo kal hua?

Tara asked, her anxiety growing with each passing moment.

Dhruv sighed, worry lines etched into his forehead. He cradled her face in his palms gently.

Kal kuch nahin hua Tara.

Dhruv said, his voice soft but filled with tiredness.

Per woh ladki...

Konsi ladki?

Dhruv cut her off, he leaned in, their faces inches apart, Tara closed her eyes, her heart quickening it's pace. The world around them faded into insignificance leaving only the two of them in their own bubble of newfound intimacy. The tension between them was pulpable as they both closed their eyes, just as the most anticipated moment was about to arrive, Dhruv opened his eyes and planted his lips on her forehead. Her breath left her in a whoosh as she opened her eyes, when he pulled back, she looked at him dazed.

Main aata hoon.

Dhruv said and was about to go but stopped feeling a tug on his hand. Dhruv felt a mixture of confusion and uncertainty flood through his heart which left him puzzled.

Kyun ruk gaye?

Tara asked, her voice, a mixture of love and confusion.

Dhruv,s heart was a mixture of confusion and uncertainty. He couldn't make sense of his own actions.

Kya ker raha hoon main?

Dhruv thought confused by his own actions but then chose to answer Tara,s question, to give her an explanation that will look logical but before that his breath came out trembling as he tried to remain composed, to not to let the tremble overcome him.

Pichli baar kaal kothri mein kaid kiya gaya tha mujhe.

Dhruv said as a matter of fact. Tara walked and stood in front of him, their eyes meeting for an eye contact. As Tara gazed into his eyes, she saw an emotion she couldn't quite make out and it left her puzzled.

Dhruv beta.

Maharani Saraswati called out, her voice soft.

Ji maa.

Dhruv replied softly.

Hum chahate hain ke aap aur Tara saath mein mandir jaiye.

Maharani Saraswati expressed her desire looking at Dhruv and Tara with a soft smile.

Dhruv smiled softly, his eyes filled with affection.

Ji maa. Hum donon chalega.

Dhruv said softly before Tara could say anything.

Per Dhruv....

Maa keh rahi hain na Tara.

Dhruv cut her off holding her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Tara breathed deeply and nodded her head in positive.

Theek hai.

Tara said to Dhruv, her voice filled with love.

Dhruv looked at Maharani Saraswati with a soft smile gracing his lips.

Kab jana hai maa.

Dhruv asked softly.

Maharani Saraswati smiled, her eyes filled with motherly affection as she looked at Dhruv.

Aaj. Abhi.

Maharani Saraswati said softly. Dhruv and Tara smiled and nodded her head in positive.

Hum aate hain.

Tara said softly and went from there.

Dhruv was about to go but stopped hearing Maharani Saraswati.

Dhruv beta.

Maharani Saraswati called out softly. Dhruv smiled at her gently.

Ji maa.

Dhruv replied softly with a gentle smile.

Maharani Saraswati placed a hand on his hair and said, her voice filled with emotion

Sada sukhi raho.

Dhruv smiled feeling overwhelmed by the motherly affection he was getting from Maharani Saraswati. his eyes brimmed with tears of joy and he nodded gently. He bent down to touch her feet but before he could touch her feet, Maharani Saraswati stopped him and pulled him in a tender hug.

Sada sukhi raho.

She murmured again, caressing his hair rather tenderly.

Humein shama ker dena Dhruv beta. Parantu yeh avashak hai.  Shayad apni galti ka praschit kerne ka yehi ek matr upaye hain.

She thought and they pulled away from the hug. She smiled at him and then patted his cheek with his cheek with motherly affection. He smiled back softly.

Main chalta hoon.

Dhruv said softly. Maharani Saraswati nodded her head in positive. Dhruv left from there.

Later!!!

Dhruv and Tara were climbing down the stairs. Tara had the arti ki thaal in her hands. An old woman gasped and was about to fall and Dhruv hurried towards her.

Are sambhal ker.

Dhruv exclaimed worriedly holding the old woman wrapping his arm around her weak frame. The old woman leaned against him closing her eyes while Dhruv held her securely.

Kaki aap theek hain?

Dhruv asked, his voice filled with worry.

Ji beta. Dhanyawad.

The old woman said softly with a soft smile.

Aapko akele aane ki kya avashakta thi? Abhi gir jati na aap kaki.

Tara exclaimed, her worry clear.

The old Woman didn't say anything to Tara and looked at Dhruv instead, her eyes filled with a mixture of tenderness and gratitude as she said, her voice trembling with emotion

Aap aaj bhi waise hi hain. Jaise pehle thy.

Ji matlab?

Dhruv asked confused while carefully helping the old woman in climbing down the stairs while Tara followed a few steps behind.

Aap bahot ache hain beta. Per yeh achai har kisi ko raas nahin aati.

The old woman said cupping his cheek with her wrinkled hand, her eyes were soft with a hint of affection in their depths.

Dekhoyega ek din aapko aapki khushi zaroor milegi.

The old woman added, still cupping his cheek with her wrinkled hand.

Dhruv couldn't understand anything but nodded his head in positive gently with a soft smile on his face at the old woman,s blessings.

Kya hua? Kuch samajh nahin aaya?

The old woman asked chuckling softly. Dhruv nodded his head in positive sheepishly.

They climbed down the stairs. The old woman leaned back against a wall and took out something from her jhola.

Yeh lijiye beta.

The old woman said softly giving him a book.

Aapke sare prashanon ke utar iss pustak mein hain.

The old woman said, her voice softening more with each passing moment.

Woh jo ladki hai na aapke sath. Uske sath mat parhiyega.

The old woman said, her voice carrying a hint of mystery.

Dhruv smiled at her confused but nodded his head in positive. He didn't knew why the old woman,s talks were confusing him.

Theek hai.

He said softly.

The old woman smiled and patted his cheek.

Aapne ird gird ke logon ko pechaniye kon apna hai kon paraya.

The old woman said softly and left from there.

Dhruv looked at the book and read the title

Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani!!!

Dhruv tum kya baatein ker rahe thy unse?

Tara who had came now asked, her voice held a subte hint of curiosity.

Dhruv cradled the book close to his heart and smiled softly at her.

Nahin kuch nahin bas aashirwad de rahin thi.

Dhruv said softly. Tara nodded her head in positive with a soft smile and noticed the book in Dhruv,s hands.

Yeh pustak....

Tara trailed off and looked at him confused.

Are yeh... Woh Maine kaha tha na mujhe ek pustak chahiye. Woh mil gayi.

Dhruv said softly with a smile. Tara blinked her eyes.

Waise Dhruv aapko nahin lagta hai aapka bartav badal gaya hai kal raatri ke baad se?

Tara asked looking at him worriedly.

Kal raatri ke baad se matlab?

Dhruv asked looking at her.

Kal jab se hum wahan se laute hain tab se.

Tara clarified, her eyes filled with worry.

Kal hum kahan gaye thy Tara?

Dhruv asked rather tiredly. Tara looked at him, her eyes filled with boundless concern for him.

Aapko sach mein kuch yaad nahin hai?

Tara asked, her voice was a mixture of confusion and concern.

Dhruv breathed shaking his head sideways.

Acha theek hai.

Tara said, a note of uncertainty coloring her tone.

Kya sach mein woh sapna tha?

Tara thought. A mixture of confusion and uncertainty flooded through her heart as they sat in the baggi.
