Harshini passed through the heavy security around the hospital, everyone  acknowledged her and made way to Arjun's room.

"Hey Harshini! How are you?" Kavya greeted, from the day Arjun is in hospital Kavya never left him. Harshini admired this girl who left her Masters abroad just to be with Arjun, love of her life.

No words were needed for others to understand her feelings, Kavya's actions were clear showing how much she loves Arjun.

"I am going to bring this medicine, he is awake" Kavya smiled and went away. Harshini slowly stepped inside the room, her eyes filled immediately seeing him lying on bed with all machines around.

"Harshini" Arjun called but it came as a mere whisper shaking her heart to the core. She controlled the tears which were threatening to fall down any time. He hates tears.. she went with a small smile near him.

"I don't want to see you next time like this" Harshini said letting her tears flow. Arjun closed his eyes controlling his anger. "Why do you people cry? I am still alive. Harshini! You and mom are like cry babies. See Kavya my brave girl" Arjun said shocking Harshini.

Does he like Kavya? He should have seen how Kavya cried when he got admitted in hospital

Harshini smiled tightening her lips, "Fine, I am getting engaged" she said and looked at Arjun's reaction.

His face looked blank, no anger, no happiness. Just blank.. "Are you happy with it?" He asked. Harshini nodded with a blush making Arjun smile widely.

"Ouch" Arjun shrieked as his cheek pained, "I could not even smile freely" Arjun said plainly. "Arjun promise me to get well soon" Harshini asked him.

"Are you planning to make me dance in your wedding? I won't girl, these injuries are still deep. I feel like sleeping forever but I will be fine, hopefully soon" Arjun's face became blank again.

"Don't know how many more medicines will they prescribe" Kavya muttered coming inside. "Arjun I doubt you will have all tablets in your body instead of bones" Kavya shook her head.

"No problem Kavya! Let's start medicines business. I will be looking after stock and you will be cashier" Arjun tried to joke but Kavya glared at him.

"Harshini! Tell this man to look after his  business, no need of any new ones. His parents are worried about his condition and he jokes on them too" Kavya complained about previous incidents.

"Kavya! I was trying to ease them, you just don't understand" Arjun explained.

"That's not the way you do. Your humour sense is pathetic, so better don't do it" Kavya warned.

"I am not a comedian or joker, I just try" Arjun started to explain, Harshini stood there looking at both of them smiling. From past ten minutes they are ranting without caring about her presence. Arjun never ignored her, now he does and it's for good.

'Kavya! Calm down, you are stressing him" Harshini said in low tone as if warning her. "I just got carried away" Kavya bit her tongue and glared at Arjun.

Now they started fight with eyes, Harshini rolled her eyes and bid bye to them. This could be the last time she's going to meet them, she's not sure what may happen in future. Harshini is a person who lived more in present, she doesn't like worrying and wasting her present.

She came out of hospital and found Arjun's mother, "I think you should start preparations for their wedding" Harshini winked. "I was not sure but now if you too feel the same I should definitely inform it to his father" Mrs. Nanda said.

After informing about her wedding and little chitchat she returned.

She expected Varshith would question her but he didn't bring that topic and remained casual. Harshini wondered about his behaviour but she's relieved that her brother left the topic. She did not have energy to fight with him.

All the discussions regarding Arjun will take her to past and particularly to that day where it all ended, mere flashes of the day would make her pale. I will not carry forward this past burden to my future .. she made a resolution.

"Harshini! If you don't mind will you buy your engagement sarees from our village. You know it's famous for hand woven sarees" Neela asked hopefully. She wanted to help the people of her hometown.

"Not only for engagement, I will buy for wedding too" Harshini assured. "Wedding saree will be bought by your in-laws" Neela informed.

"Why don't they sell online Attha?" Varshith questioned, "They got cheated by few vendors and incurred loss" Tara explained. "We can create a app, I will see how we can proceed after talking with them" Varshith said.

"Sure Babu! Tara will take you to them. Harshini! they will bring all variety of sarees to your home. We can order specific designs too" Neela explained.

"Why to burden them? We can go right" Harshini asked, "They don't have place to sell, many of them do work at their home. For marketing they formed a group. They represent collection on behalf of village at different places" Madhav explained.

"Uncle! I heard from Attha you both are planning to get Tara and Varshith married" Harshini asked in full tone. "Yes Harshi but why do you seem worried?" Madhav asked her.

"Don't you think before proposing such idea you should know what do they think?" Harshini asked him and Neela was listening their conversation doing her work.

After thinking Madhav smiled, "No problem I will ask both of them" he concluded making Harshini sigh. "No need to ask Tara, we know she accepts whoever we choose just like you" Neela added with a smile.

"No!" Harshini said shocking both of them. "Is there anything which we don't know?" Madhav asked skeptically. Does Tara like someone else or Varshith in love....  Neela thought.

"Don't ask them and you will know reason why I am saying this after they comeback" Harshini assured.

She already planned how to make them understand and not hurt Tara and Varshith.
Harshini paced near the entrance waiting for them to return, when she spotted them she quickly ran inside home.

"Looks like both of you did so much shopping" Harshini said taking bags from them.

"Obviously! It'sWedding shopping" Tara said in as you know tone. "Oh! You both did shopping for your wedding?' Harshini asked casually.

"Whose?" Varshith stressed, "you and Tara" Harshini said but she knew it would hurt them. "Bad joke Harshi!" Varshith said and went inside to refresh. She felt happy that her brother didn't make a issue out of her words.

When she turned to see Tara, she knew storm is going to come from this side. "How dare you Harshini? How could say something like that regarding us?" Tara asked in anger.

"Tara! I tried to joke" Harshini covered up, "Even for joke you should not say such things. I already have a doubt my parents too think the same. If it's like that I will never be able to talk to Varshith again comfortably. He treats me like you, like sister. These kind of words would just spoil our friendship" Tara said and Harshini smiled as her Uncle and Aunt also heard all this. It's all her plan, she expected Varshith would say all this but Tara reacted.

Whatever it is her plan got succeded, she just hoped atleast now they understand. " I am sorry" Harshini held her ears making puppy face.

"Apology not accepted" Tara glared at her, "You know us but still you tried to joke, not done" Tara left in anger.

"So now you understood the reason, Attha! We love Tara for what she is. I would definitely want someone like her for my brother. We all grew up together and they don't have feelings like that" Harshini said.

"Thanks Harshini, it would be embarassing if we asked them. You didn't let it happen for good" Madhav said with a warm smile. "But I will miss my Varshith babu" Neela said sadly.

"We are always your kids Attha, don't feel bad. Adopt my future sister in law" Harshini suggested Neela and hugged her.

I will miss you all after my wedding.. Harshini thought and tears formed in her eyes. She went inside wiping her tears, Tara was still angry and not even looking at her.

"Tara! We will be leaving in two days. If you stay angry who will give me suggestions, who will help me in selecting dresses and jewellery?" Harshini asked loudly. "See even now you want me for shopping, you are acting selfish" Tara said and smiled without Harshini's notice.

"Tell me what should I do?" Harshini asked innocently making Tara smirk. "You have to do whatever I say, without questioning" Tara said and Harshini panicked. She knew about Tara and shook her head how stupidly she agreed to her condition.

Varshith helped in developing an app for selling sarees online, Neela taught few dishes to Harshini and Tara started to prepare list of all needed things to help Harshini.

Tara felt sad that she will miss her best friends, Harshini is getting married and Varshith is going abroad for his project. She herself will be busy in preparing for her master's programme. Everything is happening in it's own pace but it seemed like too fast for her to cope up. Time and tide wait for none...
