Recap: Nithya and Mithra upload the quote for tender and Mithra share her worries to involve Tara in their plan.

*******************

A week passed and it was the day of the tender results. Goutham was in the study with Chandru and they were busy working in the laptop. Goutham called the inspector as he looked at the work Chandru was doing.

Goutham: Hello Inspector, hope you are doing good ?

Inspector: So you remember me in all these months ? Tell me how is your wife ?

Goutham: I called you for that. She is absolutely fine and we are blessed with a boy.

Inspector: So happy to hear so what are your plans now ?

Goutham: Today is the day. Wait for my message and once you receive it go announce officially that Mithra is alive and someone has found her unconscious and saved her. Don't go more in details and just reveal that she was in COMA all these months and with birth of our child she is out of coma. If anyone question you further tell them you will get back later with more details.

Inspector: Finally... Ok got it. All the best for whatever you have planned and better you join the department.

Goutham chuckled and cut the call and looked at the draft Chandru had prepared.

Goutham: This is fantastic Chandru. Rehman will send you a message and post this in mine and Mithra's social media page.

They hified and Goutham returned to the bedroom and froze when he saw Mithra standing before the vanity dressed in her business formals and tying her hair in a pony tail. Looking at Goutham she smiled and he hugged her out of being emotional.

Goutham: Its good to see you back in this costume twinkle. I m so proud of you.

Mithra: Its all because of you Goutham. Today is another battle for us.

Goutham: Nithya messaged Chandru that she has reached the venue with him.  We will give our entry at the right time and will witness his downfall today.

Mithra hugged him and he kissed her temples. Mithra helped him wear the blazer and they reached the living and saw Shylaja rocking Krish.

Shylaja: Stop worrying about Krish and you both go look after the work. You have worked hard for this day. If he is hungry I will feed him the milk you stored in the fridge. He will be good with us.

Kavitha: All the best to both of you.

Rehman entered the living and gave shades to both of them.

Rehman: Give way people the power couple is back in action.

Mithra chuckled and they walked out the home and got in the car ahead of the destination. Goutham intertwined his fingers with hers.

Nithya and Pranav were seated along with every other firm owners and Karan pointed to the man who was representing Star Decors. Pranav and Nithya saw Tara sitting with a man and soon they heard the MC starting with his speech.

MC: Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We are happy to welcome you all today to announce the winner of this tender. As you all are aware that this project is the basic amount you will invest to renovate and decorate the medical colleges that belongs to our chairman Mr. Surya. So without any delay we are happy to announce the top three firms that has quoted the best numbers to this project. They are PV groups, MiGo and Star Decors.

Pranav: MiGo has quoted the best and secured place in top three?

Nithya: Don't worry but we will bag this for sure. I can't wait to see your face after the results are announced.

Pranav: But who is here to represent MiGo ?

They looked around the faces trying to spot any familiar face and saw Chandru sitting with some girl in the corner and they were busy looking at something in mobile.

Pranav: Looks like that spineless man has moved on in his life and here you wanted time to decide for your life. They are being so cosy.

Nithya: Ignore Pranav just focus on for what we are here.

MC requested the rest of the people to leave the hall except for the top three and once they were gone he started again.

MC: All the three has quoted the price very close to each other but the one who bags this project is Star Decors. 

Pranav: What the fuck ? How is this possible ?

He was pissed completely and was ready to slam someone against the table to show is frustration but he controlled to avoid the scene in public.

Karan: I told you that man doesn't seem to be genuine. 

Pranav: Can you let us know the amount ?

MC: I m sorry sir, it is against our policy to let anyone know the amount the winner has quoted. Right now I would like to welcome the authorised representative to sign the documents to seal the deal.

Pranav turned his attention to the man who was sitting without a care and Tara standing instead of him.

Tara: Our CEO is on way and I request a few minutes of your time to complete the deal.

MC: A few minutes is absolutely acceptable but any further delay then the next in line to Star Decors will get the project.

" There won't be any need for that. The CEO is here already "

Everyone turned around and Rehman entered first holding the door wide open. Pranav was shocked to see Rehman and was curious to see the CEO and his eyes turned red as he saw Goutham entering in all his glory. 

Pranav: He is the CEO of star Decors ?

He asked Nithya and she shook her head as no still looking at the entrance and Pranav turned his face to the door and unknowing to him he rose to his feet in shock as he watched Mithra entering the hall. Goutham placed his hand on her back and they walked royally like a power couple.

Tara: CEO of Star Decors, Mrs. Mithra Goutham will sign the papers to complete the deal.

Everyone was shocked to see Goutham and Mithra as everyone was aware of the news of her death. Goutham least bothered to answer anyone and rather they walked directly to the MC who was also in shock but smiled at the couple.

Mithra took the pen Goutham gave her and before she signed it her gaze fell on Pranav who was standing in shock and smirked at him as she signed the papers. 

Mithra: Tara, stay back to collect the papers and meet me at office.

They turned to leave but Mithra stopped by Pranav and Nithya.

Mithra: It won't be fair if I walk out without giving a gift to you. After all you tried hard to kill me. Watch the social media, today is MY DAY you fuckard.

Goutham traced his thumb across his neck gritting his teeth and seething in anger.

Goutham: You are finished.

They both mumbled everything only for Pranav to hear and walked out the way they entered the hall with Rehman following behind. As soon they were out Mithra caught Rehman's hands.

Mithra: Rehmaan, as always we trust you. Tara must be safe and no harm to her or her dignity.

Rehmaan: I will take care. You leave and wait for the news.

Goutham and Mithra nodded their head and left from there. Pranav got his mobile from Karan was shocked to see the social media flooding with message that Mithra was alive and people pouring wishes for the couple. Another shock to him when he saw Mithra and Goutham's post in their social media accounts where the couple was posing with their new born in their hand with the same caption.

" True love never dies. It only gets stronger with time. My sun & moon with our little star "

He closed his eyes as his blood boiled to see their smiles and he couldn't digest the fact that he lost once again. 

Karan: Boss, everyone has left. We should leave too.

Pranav: Drop Nithya at her home and I want to be alone for sometime.

Nithya: I will not leave you alone Pranav. How could they do this to me. All these days she was alive and I never got to know. I considered her as my best friend but seems like she never considered me as the same.

Pranav: Nithya, leave me alone for sometime. I will meet you tomorrow.

Nithya Mv: Tomorrow ? As if you will get a chance...Good bye Mr.bastard.

Nithya: fine but I will go on my own and let Karan be here with you. I don't want you to be alone at this time. please

Nithya wiped her fake tears and left from there. Pranav walked out of the hall and saw Tara all smiling and was about to leave the room but Pranav stopped her.

Tara: What do you want now ?

Pranav: Bitch, I really underestimated you. Tell me you knew that she was alive all these days ?

Tara: Why should I answer you  Pranav. Who are you to me ?

Pranav: How much did he pay you to work against me ? Because of you I lost so many projects. You thought I will let you go easily after all you did to me ?

Tara: What will you do? tell me what will you do ? You will do nothing other than fucking. Infact that is what got you here in this place today.

Pranav: Why did you go against me ?

 Tara: You want to know ? then listen Pranav. Do you know the feel of pain ? You will know the pain of others only if you had loved someone truly from your heart but who am I speaking. You are not a human being. I loved you...

Her voice broke but she controlled her sob and wiped her tears.

Tara: People are watching Pranav. I m heading to my room 105 in this floor. If you want to know the answer follow me or better get lost and don't interfere in my life. You are the last person I wanted to see ever again.

Pranav: You loved me ? Didn't I make it clear that you are just my PA ?

Tara shook her head and started walking towards the corridor of the rooms and he followed her. Tara opened the door of the room that was booked for her and left the door open knowing he was following her. Pranav entered the room and closed it behind him. 

Tara: Why did you come behind me now ?

Pranav pushed her against the wall and caught her neck in his grip.

Pranav: Answer my questions. Why did you do this ?

Tara pushed his hand away and clutched her hair in frustration.

Tara: Because I loved you. Inspite of all the insults and abuse you threw on me I loved you truly and honestly believed that one day you will reciprocate my love but what did you give me in return ? You threw me like a trash beneath your foot and changed your attention to that bitch Raghini and then now Nithya. 

Pranav: You fucking bitch, I will kill you now. It is not my fault that you loved me when all we had was casual fucks nothing more. You cost me millions for the sake of your fucking one side love ?

He slapped her and Tara fell on the floor holding her cheek in her palm. She got up and held his collars shaking him and pulled his hair for slapping her.

Tara: It was not just casual fucking you bastard. The day you pushed me to the floor I got my abdomen hit on the teapoy and I lost the baby..our baby the only solace I had in my life. You killed my baby and that is why I wanted revenge against you. Who could be better other than my boss Goutham and his wife Mithra ? I will make your life hell you bastard.

She tore her sleeves, smudged her lipsticks and ran out of the room crying for help. Pranav cried a shit for the stunt he pulled in frustration and ambled out of the room only to close his face as cameras started flashing on him.
