Recap: Myra request space from Keshav and shares her feelings with Naina.

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

Naina frowned when Myra mentioned about the mystery singer. 

Naina: What does the mystery singer has to do with your life ?

Myra: I realized this very late Naina. Have you ever noticed that all his choice of songs has matched to my emotions most of the time. In fact the last song was the same one I sang for Ketchup when we were in Swizz and the song he posted last night was the same one I sang with Ketchup in my mind. How could be that possible for someone to be in sync with my feelings ? 

Naina: You are really confusing me now ? How could that be possible ? You don't even know him.

Myra: Exactly, I don't know him other than his songs. I feel guilty for having a crush over him and may be because of that I feel connected with his emotions. I hate this and feel like its sort of cheating my ketchup. 

Naina: Myra, you are stressing your mind too much with unwanted thoughts. Just calm down and stop thinking about that mystery singer now and go talk to your husband. Once you talk to him you can think of this mystery man or may be you can share it with your hunk, that might help you.

Myra: Its like the whole world has dropped its mess over my shoulder. Take over the class today. I will look after the back end works. I need a break.

Naina hummed and they continued with their work. Keshav was in the living looking at his mobile waiting for a call or message from Myra. Varun entered and dropped the keys on the teapoy before him.

Keshav: Did you get the thing for what you got the keys from me ?

Varun: No, I need to search in a different place and I will take care of it. I have called someone to help me in this.

Keshav: Finish it off quickly. I m waiting for your reports Varun.

Varun: I have set this job on top of priority list so don't worry, I will get this done at the earliest possible.

Varun entered the kitchen and returned with some juice and bread and placed it before Keshav.

Varun: I know you would have not eaten anything since last night. Starving is not a solution and you need be fresh and energetic to handle everything when madam is back to listen to you.

Keshav: I can't eat when she is there starving. She will not eat without me Varun. 

Varun: She is not upset with you so how about you pack some food and I will deliver to her ? She will not deny the food made by you and you can eat too once her hunger is satisfied.

Keshav patted Varun's shoulder and rushed to the kitchen. He quickly made some curd rice and packed it with some fries. 

Varun: You better eat when I call you to confirm that madam has eaten the food you packed for her.

Keshav nodded his head and Varun left from there. He arrived at the academy and Myra smiled at him welcoming inside.

Varun: I was on way to my work and your husband wanted a favour from me. He has sent food for you.

Myra received the bag from him and thanked him for his favour. Varun waited near by the window watching Myra.

She opened the box and smiled with tears looking at the curd rice which had garnished with a smiley using pomegranate.

Myra Mv: You knew I wouldn't eat without you right ? I love you Ketchup.

She started eating wiping her tears and Varun sent her picture to Keshav before he drove from there. Keshav smiled looking at Myra eating the food he cooked and he too started eating.

By evening Myra returned home and saw both the homes were locked. She opened the door to her mother's home and entered her room. She opened the wardrobe and pulled out the box in which she had saved all the gifts and flowers from her past. She got reminded of the day when she saw Keshav had brought a girl to home once.

Myra Mv: How did I forget that girl from years back when he brought her home ? Could she be the girl ? Doesn't matter anymore. I love my Ketchup thats it.

She carried them out of home and dumped them on the grass. 

Myra: Nothing is more important than my Ketchup and I will not hold anything that might hurt  him.

Krish returned home and saw the door was locked but Myra's car parked in the lane. He got down from his bike and opened the gate to Vasu's home and saw Myra crouched on the ground.

Krish: Myra, what are you doing here ? 

Myra panicked looking at him and wanted to hide the gifts from him but it was too late. Krish looked at them and crouched next to her touching the gifts. He picked a peacock feather dream catcher and looked at it with a smile.

Krish: Wow, this is so beautiful Myra. Where did you buy this ? Wait a minute...

He then picked a pearl necklace, withered flowers, chocolate wrappers, greeting cards and turned his attention to Myra who was in shock after hearing his words.

Krish: Myra, what are these ? Looks like gifts, did someone give you these ? Why have you dumped them here now ?

Myra: Krish...

Krish: All these things looks so special Myra. Who gave you these ?

Myra: You don't know about these gifts ? Have you not seen them before ?

Krish: No..

Myra Mv: What the fuck is he saying ? He doesn't know about this, means he is not the one who gave me all these.

Myra: Krish, can you lock the door and come home, I need to talk to you something important.

Krish hummed and sauntered to lock the door. Myra gathered the gifts and packed in the box and walked out of Vasu's home with Krish following her. He opened the door and lead Myra inside following behind her. 

Myra rushed to her room and placed the box on the bed and returned to the hall. Krish was sipping water and seeing her he poured some water for her.

Myra: Have you ever treated me as your best friend Krish ?

Krish: What ? Myra, I made a mistake in choosing Roshni and I m regretting it but that doesn't mean you can hurt me with such question.

Myra: Have you ever bought gifts or chocolates for me without my knowledge and placed them in my home or room ?

Krish: Why will do it without your knowledge ? I have always taken you with me to buy chocolates or ice cream. Even shoppings we did together. 

Myra: Did you buy me flowers when I was in hospital that day when I got into accident on my birthday ?

Krish: No, but why do you ask me this ? Myra, what is happening ?

Myra turned furious and caught his collars, ready to strangle him.

Myra: If you did not buy me any gifts then why did you not deny when I thanked you for the gifts on my birthday ? 

Krish: I thought you were thanking me for the rose and chocolate I gave you.

Myra: Lair... I showed you the watch, the purple saree and few more things when I thanked you. Then how could you not deny that they weren't from you ?

Krish: I don't buy gifts for your birthday because I didn't felt it was necessary since we do shopping together and buy whatever we wanted. I thought amma or appa must have given it to you on behalf of me since I don't buy gifts for you and my possessiveness for you didn't let me deny it because you loved those gifts very much. You are my only friend and I wanted all your attention on me so... 

Myra: So, you lied about Ketchup to me so that we never get along, you were jealous of your own brother and did everything you could to keep us away, you took credits to whatever he did for me. I thought you were the one behind those who were for bullying and teasing me but again it was not you. Your possessiveness has blinded you to deny something that wasn't from you. You call this friendship ? You fooled me when I trusted you blindly in everything. 

Krish: Don't say that Myra. Please, you were the only person I had wanted in my life and I was not ready to share you with anyone, even if it was my brother or my own family. I agree that I never gave you gifts to your birthday but I have truly cared and every moment I spent with your most memorable moments of my life. We roamed together, we ate together, we did shopping together, you were a part of my life Myra. 

Myra: When you said everything, you could also said that you never did something special like those gifts which cost me so much in my life ?

Krish was shocked for a moment from her sudden outburst. He connected everything that happened from the moment he porposed Roshni and everything happened in Myra's life

Krish: Myra, did you love me ?

Myra: No, a big no, I loved the guy who cared for me and fought with those boys, I loved the guy who made special moves to buy flowers and chocolates, I loved the guy who gave all his time to give me those gifts but not anymore. I love my Ketchup who has given me a life when I was at the worse of my life, I love my Ketchup who showed me who I am. 

Krish: Myra...

Myra: Don't...just go away. I had suffered enough of your jealousy and possessiveness but not anymore. 

Myra entered the kitchen and picked a water bottle from the refrigerator. Krish slapped himself and followed her in the kitchen.

Krish: I m so sorry Myra, I never knew you had to suffer because of me. Please forgive me.

Myra: Leave me alone Krish. I have too much on my plate at this moment and I can't be entertaining you.

Krish: Don't leave me Myra, I m not the same Krish anymore. I regret everything I did in my life and the only things I cherish is your friendship and if you let me down then I will hate myself. It will be better I die rather than living seeing you hate me. You are the person I value the most in my life Myra. 

Myra gulped the water and stood placing her palm on the counter gritting her teeth.

Myra: I forgive you Krish because I have no rights to be upset with you when I have been a fool to not see things properly. I have been the most dumb person for not realizing, then who am I to punish you ?

Krish: Please don't say that Myra. I want you in my life. 

Krish Mv: I have you hurt you a lot Myra but that was not intentional but today I m about to hurt you intentionally but this will be for your own good. My jealousy for my bro has taken a lot away from his life and its time I fix that. You both have to leave this home to be with each other forever and that will happen only if I become the bad guy completely. Please forgive me one last time Myra..

Krish gulped and held her wrist turning her to face him. Myra tried to get her hand out of his hold but he held tight refusing to let go.

Myra: Let me go Krish, 

Krish: Please Myra, I need you in my life. I feel lonely and there is no one to care for me. I did everything to have you in my life.

He hugged her forcefully and Myra squirmmed in his embrace with tears rolling from her cheeks feeling shock, fear and disgust to his touch.

Myra: I beg you Krish please let go of me, your touch disgust me. Let me go you fucking idiot.

Kish: No Myra. I need you.

Myra pushed him with all her force and slapped him hard storming away to her room. Krish slumped to the floor and started sobbing.

Krish: I m sorry Myra, I had no time or other way to save your life. I can't see you broken than you are now if I did nothing to save your life. Please I m so sorry.

Myra locked the door and plopped on the floor crying vigorously. Her hands were trembling as she looked for her mobile and dialed the only number that her heart was yearning for.

Keshav answered the call in the first ring and all he heard was Myra's sobs.

Keshav: Butterfly..

Myra: Ketchup...
