Recap: Krish and Roshni get engaged. Myra and Naina visit Rakesh's home with family and spend time.

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

The whole family including Keshav who had walked out was stunned when Roshni announced her decision. Krish was the one who was beyond shock to hear her out. He proposed her for marriage only when he was 100% sure that she was ready for marriage. 

Madan: But you said yes when Krish proposed for marriage.

Roshni: Ofcourse I want to marry him uncle but not now. Actually I got placement in a company here in Chennai and I want to get settled in the job before the marriage.

Krish was pissed that he had no idea on her placement in Chennai yet he didn't want to make it obvious before everyone so he stayed calm letting her to continue.

Archana: In Chennai ?

Roshni: Yes aunty, I have to join by next week. I hope you don't have problem in me staying here with you or I can find some women's hostel.

Krish: Roshni, why do you have to stay in hostel ? I mean maa..

Archana: We don't have any problem Roshni. You can stay here with us but why do you want to delay the marriage. You can get married and continue with the job.

Roshni: It will be a new job and new responsibility aunty. I want to give my full attention to it. Being married, Krish will have some expectation and I may not be able to fulfill them and that might end in fighting with each other. I don't want any such thing happening between me and Krish so it would be better I get settled in the job and get married a year later.

Everyone felt her points valid but the only things that concerned Archana and Madan was that Myra will have to face Krish and Roshni living together even without being married.

Krish: Roshni, I can understand your worries but I will support you every way in your career so we don't have to postpone the wedding.

Roshni: Krish, I might have to work on shifts and we might not be able to meet each other and spend time. At that time you or even I might feel upset upon myself for not being able to give the time to you.

Roshni's father: Roshni is right Krish. Just a year and it will pass very quickly. Is it ok for you all to let Roshni live here or I will look for some other arrangement.

Madan: Let her stay here only.

Archana saw Keshav who had a blank face and walked out picking up the keys to Myra's home to check on the plants. Later it was decided that Krish, Roshni and her parents would return to Bangalore the next day and Krish and Roshni will return with her things packed for her stay in Chennai.

Keshav returned after watering the plants and informed everyone that he was leaving for work. Krish called Roshni to have lunch at a restaurant and did not speak a word until they reached the restaurant. Once they got settled Roshni smiled at him and held his hand.

Roshni: Are you upset with me ?

Krish: Shouldn't be I ? You never said that you got job in Chennai and had plans to stay here.

Roshni: Are you angry that I didn't inform you about my job or my stay in Chennai .. I mean at your home ?

Krish: That is your home too Roshni. I thought we would discuss everything between us so why didn't you inform me all your plans ?

Roshni: I agreed to everything you said Krish so why can't you give into my one request. I didn't inform you because I wanted to surprise you but I had no option then revealing when uncle started the conversation. Are you not happy that we will stay together and there is no need to meet secretly once or twice a month ?

Krish: I m happy but I don't know why I feel something is not settling well.

Roshni: Its because this is the first time you haven't met Myra for long time but get used to it. She is very busy and I m sure you would have seen her photos from some dinner last night. She could have atleast called us to wish.

Krish's mobile started ringing and he saw it was Myra. With a smile he answered it in the first ring.

Krish: Myra, how are you ? I miss you Myu.. a lot.

Myra: I miss you too Krish. Congrats to you and Roshni, you both look great together. Actually I would have called you in the morning but felt you might wake up late being tired after the party. So how do you feel being committed now ?

Krish: I don't know, nervous, happy, excited and also scared.  I wish you were here and I would have felt relaxed.

Myra: Shut up idiot. Your relax machine is with you now wearing your ring on her finger. Remember when I said that you will love the girl and be the best partner to her ?

Krish: Yeah, I remember..

Myra: Good, give her all the love Krish and take care of her. 

Krish: hmmm ok. When will you be back ?

Myra: May two or three more weeks probably so when is the wedding ?

Krish explained everything about Roshni's plan and Myra hummed hearing him. 

Myra: Its ok Krish, respect her decision if that is what she wants. Also you don't have to lie about business trips to meet her now.

Krish: Myra....

Myra: Just kidding... alright my classes will commence now so take care. Convey my wishes to Roshni. We shall meet when I m back in Chennai.

Krish: Take care Myra.. I will miss you.

Roshni rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time and dropped the fork when he cut the call. Krish saw there were few dishes placed and Roshni had started eating.

Krish: You placed order ?

Roshni: Yeah, I m starving and I know you will not cut the call anytime soon. Don't you feel she is so cringe ?

Krish: Roshni for god sake I m in a better mood and don't spoil it. She will only wish for my happiness and even now wished both of us for being engaged. You will never understand her.

Roshni: Lets end this discussion here about her and talk about us. 

Krish smiled and they had food together discussing about Roshni's new office. 

Naina looked at Myra who carried a neutral expression on her face. They were waiting for the students to arrive and in the meanwhile they were having this discussion.

Naina: What do you feel now ? I seriously can't interpret anything from your face ? Are you sad, happy or what is going on in your mind ?

Myra: I don't know. All I want is, him to be happy and if I cry that I lost him forever, it would mean I m crying over his happiness which I don't want to do. I want to get over this for him, for my parents, uncle, aunty. I m trying very hard Naina but I don't know if I will be this strong when we return home.

Naina: You can Myra. Keep yourself busy like how you are now and you will move on from him. I know this won't be easy when they will be living together next door but you have to do it for everyone but mostly for yourself.

Myra nodded her head and they saw the children entering and got back to their work.

The students have become very close to Myra and Naina and enjoyed learning from them. Myra and Naina would take turns to train the students with stage rehearsal.

That night Myra sat on the swing looking at Krish and Roshni's engagement photos. Naina came in search of her and sat next to her.

Naina: Stop looking at their photo Myra. How much will you hurt yourself ? 

Myra: I m trying Naina. you won't believe but I m trying every way to distract myself. I m trying for myself and everyone and I m preparing myself by looking at their photos. I don't want to be hurt when I face them after returning home.

Naina: We all know Myra and we are so proud of you. Will you listen to me once ?

Myra nodded her head and Naina held Myra's hand squeezing them.

Naina: close your eyes and repeat my words.

" Krish, You are my friend and nothing more, yes .. you are my friend and nothing more than that. I m moving on in my life"

Myra: " Krish, You are my friend and nothing more, yes .. you are my friend and nothing more than that. I m moving on in my life"

Naina: Assume these lines are some mantra and chant them as many times possible before you go to sleep and when you wake up. Do this and stop only when you could smile without any pain looking at them.

Naina returned to room and Myra chanted the same lines for with her eyes closed and she repeated the same lines with her eyes opened, looking at the dark sky.

The next morning she was excited for the driving class and got ready waiting for the instructor to arrive.

Rajan: Will you learn before we leave Ooty ?

Myra: Don't worry, I will drive the car to Chennai. I m becoming an expert already. you see, your daughter is very talented.

Naina choked on the coffee and looked at Myra who was glaring at her.

Naina: Don't burn me with your eyes now. Just do me a favour and book tickets for me to return by train.

Myra: So you want to live your life without me is it ?

Naina: I never said that but you are certifying your driving skills now. 

Myra scowled and they heard sound of the bike. Myra ran outside and greeted the instructor.

Instructor: Shall we start madam.

Myra: Ofcourse sir, I was waiting for you. I think I m good enough to drive. What do you think ?

Instructor: You are a quick learner madam, just few more days and you will be trained completely.

Myra: I know I m very talented so you don't worry, I will make your job easy. I have three more weeks left for my stay in Ooty and that is more than enough to complete the training.

Myra got settled in the driver seat and prayed before she turned on the ignition. Before the instructor could give instructions Myra pressed the accelerator and on seeing a puppy crossing the road she turned the direction in fear of hitting on it but unfortunately crashed the car on a lamp post. 

It was just a minor accident and nothing happened to Myra and the instructor. They got down and rushed to the front and saw the broken bumper and tent on the bonnet.

Myra gasped looking at the damage and looked at the instructor who was scratching his head.

Myra: It was not my fault sir. The puppy crossed the road all of a sudden and I was scared.

Instructor: That is why you need more training. We can't expect the road to be clear when we drive and if someone happens to cross the road unexpectedly then you should learn to take control over the break.

Myra: You are right. I will make a note of this and now I will follow your instructions but we need to repair this damages done by me.

Instructor: I will call for a mechanic and he will fix it.

Myra hummed and called Keshav to inform him about the damage done to the car. Keshav answered the call in the first ring.

Keshav: How are you little one ?

Myra: Ketchup, I m so sorry. I made accident with your car.

Keshav: What ??? Are you fine butterfly ? Did you get hurt ? Where are you ? Who is with you now? I will come over immediately.

Myra: Calm down, I m fit and fine but your car is damaged a little. 

Keshav: Is the instructor with you now ? Can you pass the mobile to him ?

Myra was puzzled still passed the mobile to the instructor and watched the face of the instructor going pale. A few minutes later she got the mobile back.

Myra: Yes ketchup, I will get it repaired. I just wanted to inform you.

Keshav: Don't worry about the damage, it happens when we learn driving just make sure you are safe and wear seat belt all the time. 

Myra: Thank you ketchup, actually I wanted to thank you and even I called you but your mobile was switched off. 

Keshav: You don't have to thank me little one. Take care of yourself. I will come for the annual day function. Stay safe until then.

Myra hummed and cut the call turning her attention to the instructor.

Myra: What did he say ? You talked to him as if you know him well, do you know him ?

Instructor: He was the one who appointed me to train you. He was mad at me for being careless in training you and has warned me. 

Myra: Keshav appointed you ? I thought it was Rakesh sir.

Instructor: No, I drove this car from Chennai on Keshav sir's order. He sent me here to train you. I will drop you home and get this repaired before evening and we shall continue the training in the evening.

Myra: One last question. Why did he choose you ?

Instructor: Because, I m good in training anyone in driving within a month. May be you can call me an expert in my work. Don't worry, I will train you completely by the end of three weeks.

Myra thanked him and they drove back home. All the while Myra was thinking of everything Keshav has done in the recent days especially when she was in the worst phase of her life.
