Recap: Myra have a good time at the event and meet her idols. The next day they all for OOty.

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

Myra and the family reached Ooty in the car sent by Keshav's friend to pick them from Coimbatore railway station. Myra alighted from the car and saw they were brought to a cottage which looked so beautiful with a mini garden and a swing in the front. The driver placed their luggage in the hall and passed the key to them.

Driver: Madam, you all can refresh and I will get the food. Later I will take you to meet the principal.

Myra: What is his name ?

Driver: Mr. Rakesh. The school is actually two streets away from the cottage and Principal's home is close by the school.

Rajan thanked him and Myra, Naina decided to stay in a single room and Rajan, Vasundra retired to a different room. They got ready in an hour and reached the dining. The driver was placing the plates already.

Driver: This is home cooked food so you don't have to worry about the quality or taste.

Myra: You are doing more than we expected. Thank you.

Driver: You are our Principal's guest so I will take care of everything for you.

They all had food and Myra and Naina alone decided to meet the principal. They reached the school and the driver informed them to wait in the lounge and he entered the principal's office to let him know about Myra's arrival. A few minutes later he walked out and lead Myra and Naina to the Principal's office.

Myra: Hello sir, I m Myra and she is my friend Naina.

Principal: Very nice to meet you Myra. I m Rakesh and I hope we will get along until your stay here. Did you like the cottage ?

Myra: Awesome place and we all loved it.

Principal: Thank you. I have arranged for a cook and a servant to take care of the chores until you are here. School timings are 9 to 4. I will introduce you to the art teacher and she will give you the schedule to train the students.

Myra: Will the students be comfortable to be trained from someone new to them ?

Principal: You will be properly introduced to the children and from what I heard from Keshav I think you will get along well with the students. Keep your confidence high and work on this.

Myra: I will give my best.

Principal: Do you want a car or auto to pick up and drop you to school ?

Myra: No thanks, I would love to take a walk.

Principal: Alright then. I will inform the peon to take to you to the art teacher. You get introduced today and start with your work from tomorrow.

Myra: Are you friend to Keshav from school or college ? If you don't mind answering.

Rakesh: We are school friends. You might have not seen me but I remember you well Myra.

Myra: Oh, I m so sorry. He used to be very reserved and gets his friend to home very rarely.

Rakesh: hmm. Meet the teacher and later either you can rest at the cottage or visit the nearby places. They will be refreshing.

Myra hummed and left his office following the peon. She got introduced to few teachers and received a schedule of her work for the one month. Later she returned to cottage by walk and saw Vasundra talking to Archana on a video call. They chatted together for sometime and later Myra returned to her room with Naina. Her mobile pinged and she saw it was Roshni's Instagram notification.

Myra saw Roshni has updated pictures of her and Krish together from a restaurant with caption " Lunch date with fiance "

Naina yanked and mobile and was about to do something but Myra stopped her taking her mobile back.

Naina: Myra, you better unfollow both of them now. They can't keep rubbing it on your face like this.

Myra: When did I say they are rubbing it on my face ? They are couples Naina and we can't expect them to be all quiet and do nothing just because I will be hurt. Everyone deserve to celebrate their life. Krish and Roshni are doing that and nothing is wrong in that.

Naina: You be a goddess and celebrate them but I m human and I just wanted strangle them both.

Myra: Calm down bestie.

Naina: Lets visit the near by places and post the pictures and let me remind you that we are yet post the pictures from the music event too.

Myra: We won't do anything out of jealousy. That is not our character Naina.

Naina: Oh hello madam ji, who doesn't post picture from their vacation or special events ? I m doing the same and there is nothing jealousy in that.

Myra shook her head and Naina pulled her to visit the near by park. They clicked many pictures and Naina started posting it in both their social media pages. She received the first like and heart emoji from Krish.

Naina: Was he waiting that we would post and he will like them ?

Myra: He does that every time Naina. Now you are framing him as a villain so you find all his acts peculiar.

Naina: I will be happy if you scream some curses at him and block him but you are the goddess Myra. You will support your best friend even if he come to kill you with a knife.

Myra: You know he will never do that.

Naina: Stabbing someone with knife is not the only way to kill someone Myra. Harsh words and actions are more painful than the stab from a knife. He did that to you.

A lone tear rolled from the corner of Myra's eyes and she wiped it quickly.

Myra: Ok now enough of them and lets focus on what are we here for. Lets go to the cottage and do some home work for tomorrow's schedule. Ketchup has given us this opportunity and I don't want to disappoint him or let him down.

Naina nodded her head and they returned to the cottage to do the home work.

Archana and Madan called Roshni' father to talk to him about Krish and Roshni. she turned the call on speaker when he answered it.

Archana: Brother, how are you and everyone there ?

Roshni's father: We are fine and I m happy that you finally thought of calling me.

Madan: We wanted to do engagement for Krish and Roshni this weekend. Come with family and we shall invite relatives and close friends alone.

Roshni's father: do you want this because you are forced or do you accept my daughter whole heartedly ?

Archana: They both are our children and I was upset because the way Krish decided everything up on himself, otherwise we are happy. Do you want to have this at home or some party hall ?

Roshni's father: Lets book a party hall. I will be there tonight and we shall plan everything.

Madan: Ok then see you tonight.

They cut the call and saw Keshav smiling at them. Roshni's father called Roshni and Krish.

Roshni's father: Krish, your mother and father spoke to me. They wanted to have your engagement this weekend. We are leaving for Chennai immediately to plan everything.

Krish: Really ?

Roshni's father: Yes, I need to inform this to all our relatives. By the time, Roshni pack whatever you will need. Take your mother's help.

Roshni pulled Krish and lunged herself on him.

Roshni: I m so happy Krish. Finally we will be engaged officially.

Krish hummed but he was lost in different thoughts. Archana let Madan and Keshav to handle the arrangements and entered her room. She called Vasundra and updated her about everything.

Vasundra: Should we inform Myra ?

Archana: I don't know. What if she breaks down once again ?

Vasundra: But she will get to know somehow so what is the meaning in hiding it from her ?

Archana: you are right. How about we reveal it to her together ?

Vasundra hummed and called Myra and she came with Naina. They sat on the couch next to Vasundra and saw Archana on call.

Myra: do you ladies have plans to stay connected 24x7 ?

Archana: Myu, we have something to inform you.

Myra: I m all ears. Tell me what is it ?

Vasundra: Krish and Roshni's engagement will be held this weekend.

The smile dropped instantly of Myra's face but she got to her sense and smiled passing a wish to Archana.

Archana: Myra...

Myra: I m fine aunty. I saw this coming and its obvious they will be married soon. Do you want me to come and help you with works ?

Archana: I don't want to see you breaking every time you see them together Myra and that is why we wanted the engagement to happen in your absence.

Myra: I can't keep running away forever.

Archana: We know Myra but atleast take some time until you feel better and ready to face them. We don't you to feel hurt.

Myra: Ofcourse I will be. Now you both carry on and I have work to do.

She returned to her room and continued with her works. By night when everyone was asleep Myra walked out of the cottage wrapping a shawl around her and sat on the swing looking at the moon.

Myra: Nothing has happened in our life without each other's presence and now he will be engaged and I won't be there. Am I so unlucky to not have my love in my life ? Doesn't people say that true love never fails ? Does that mean my love was not true ? What did I do to deserve all these pain ? It hurts so much and I want to move on from this pain. I can't be a cruel being and let my pain be a curse in the new beginning of his life. I want him to be happy and I have to be happy for that. Even if this is too early, I m letting him go forever from my life and I want to get over this. Please god, show me a way to get over this. I don't want this pain. Please. help me. I want to be happy. Everyone has bind their happiness with mine so for them I need to be happy. I can't see them crying over my pain. Archana aunty and Madan uncle has dreamt of their son's marriage and now when it is happening they couldn't be happy completely, they don't deserve this. Let me heal quickly and I shall make everyone happy. Just one last wish, let me move on from him.

Myra saw a shooting star at the same time and her lips curved upwards. She closed her eyes and leaned on the swing chain focusing on her prayers to move on.

Morning Myra reached the hall dressed up for school and saw a lady placing dishes on the dinning table. Vasundra and Rajan were froze to see Myra smiling and her face was fresh compared to last night.

Myra: Maa, what are you looking at in my face ?

Vasundra: I m happy to see you like this Myu. Principal has sent a cook and she has prepared breakfast. Come lets have together.

Naina: We have schedule for 2 hours in the morning session and 2 hours in the afternoon so we will be back for lunch.

Myra and Naina reached school and was taken to the classroom for music. A group of students accompanied by the arts teacher entered the class and introduced them to Myra and Naina.

Once the art teacher left from there the students got settled in their seats quietly and fidgeted with her fingers.

Myra: I feel very uncomfortable like this. Actually we thought students will be very lively and can have some good time but you are all scaring me.

Naina: I m scared too Myra. They look at us like we are prey and they are hunters. What should we do ?

Myra: Lets hide somewhere.

Myra and Naina hid behind a locker and opened a lays packet for them. They heard some chuckling sound and peeped out and gasped to see all the children looking at them with smiles.

Myra: they are smiling Naina so it means they won't hunt us. Come lets meet them.

Naina: Lets us finish the lays first.

Myra: Let us share with them.

Myra and Naina came out and out stretched the lays packet to the students, who one by one came forward and picked one from it. Slowly they got introduced and Myra moved the benches away and sat on the floor.

Myra: Sit close to us and then we shall start listening to your singing first then we will plan to train you on correcting your notes. Is that ok ?

Children bobbed their head and sat opposite to Myra and Naina. Myra let the children to sing one by one and made a note of their strong and weak points. By the end of two hours she made them relax and comfortable with her and let them know that she will start training from the next day.

Post lunch she met with another batch of students and made them comfortable too. By evening when they returned to the cottage Myra saw a very familiar car parked before the gate. She scuttled towards it but stopped when her mobile started blaring with a known name.
