Note: There were lot of comments requesting for double update and I will give that today. The Second update will be published by 12. 

Recap: Myra confront Krish and gets to know the truth. Later she calls Keshav when Krish tried to take advantage of her vulnerable state.

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

Keshav's heart shattered hearing her sobs, he rose to his feet immediately picking up his car keys.

Keshav: Butterfly, stay on the line and tell me what happened ? Did someone hurt you ?

Myra: Come soon please

He shut his eyes listening to her broken voice that came out as whisper. He pressed the accelearator with the only goal in mind to reach his butterfly even before the next sob escaped her lips, only if he knew some magic or had powers to teleport.

Myra spoke nothing and continued to sob, Keshav pulled his hair in frustration and pressed the horn hitting the steering and cursing every one who were driving ahead of him. He reached home in a record home and jumped out running inside. Krish who was seated on the couch saw Keshav crossing him like a storm skipping the stairs to reach the room.

Myra jumped in place hearing a knock and sobbed more.

Keshav: Butterfly its me, your ketchup, Open the door little one. 

With trembling hands Myra opened the door and as soon as Keshav stepped in she jumped into his arms with her arms around his neck. Keshav closed the door with his hind leg and stood caressing her hair and stroking her back.

Keshav: Stop crying little one, you are giving me the biggest punishment of seeing you break down. Tell me what happened.

Myra shook her head and he pulled her face to look at him and wiped the tears of her face. He poured a glass of water and made her sip it.

Keshav: Now tell me what happened. Are you hurt or did something happen ?

Myra: Krish,

Keshav: What happened to him ? Did he say something ?

Myra showed her wrist which had turned purple and Keshav's blood started boiling to see the bruise. A tear escaped his eyes and he grit his teeth feeling betrayed of his brother's actions. More than that he could see the pain Myra was going through who might have not expected such cheap stunt from her best friend.

Keshav: Is he home or did he come to the academy ?

Myra: Home..

Keshav: I will be back..

Myra shook her head refusing to let him go but Keshav made her sit and stormed out of the room and reached the hall. Krish rose to his feet on seeing the rage in Keshav's face.

Without a word Keshav punched Krish leaving a bruise on his cheek and lips busted.

Keshav: How could you do this to her ? She treated you as her best friend and was worried for your life every day, what is her fault other than that ? May be you forgot that she is your best friend but did you even forget that she is my wife ? Don't you know how much she means to me ?

Placing his palm on Krish's chest Keshav pushed him back into the couch and returned to room. Keshav saw the gifts in a box and then looked at Myra who was still sobbing. He placed the box on safe in his wardrobe and returned to Myra.

Keshav: Lets go out, I wanted you to meet someone. 

He carried her to the washroom and washed her face and chose a gown for her to change. They reached the hall and Myra snuggled into Keshav on seeing Krish. Keshav walked out holding her hand and opened the door for her to be seated.

Keshav: Lets go for a long drive before we go meet that person. Relax and lower the glass if you want to feel some fresh air or you can lean into me.

Myra chose the second option and Keshav started driving. They did not speak a word and he kept driving aimlessly until they reached the outskirts of the city. On reaching a deserted road he stopped the car and lowered the glass for some fresh air.

Keshav: How do you feel little one ?

Myra: Why did he do that ? He is not someone who could force on a girl. We need to confront him Ketchup. I can't believe our Krish did that to me. I need to know the reason from him. 

Keshav: Will do but not now. I want you to feel better first.

Myra bobbed her head and Keshav started driving back. A few minutes later they saw a man and woman with a child in her hand asking for lift. A car parked possibly seemed to have a break down.

Keshav: Do you mind helping them butterfly ? Looks their car got into a problem and they have baby in their arm.

Myra: I have no problem.

Keshav stopped the car and the man and woman rushed to Myra's side. Myra rolled the glass down and was surprised to see the same senior guy from college.

Myra: You ?

Senior Guy: Hello Myra, she is my wife and our daughter. Our car stopped mid way and doesn't start. Please help us to reach the city and I will take a cab from there. Please..

Keshav: Get in ..

The senior guy duck his head and looked at Keshav in the driver seat and gulped hard.

Senior guy: Sir, you ? Sir, I mean no harm and I m with family now. I really wanted a help. Please sir, trust me. I have changed completely.

Myra looked at Keshav and the guy talking as if they knew each other.

Myra: He is my husband. you both knew each other ?

Senior guy: Myra, he is the one who hit me and others in the college for bullying you.

Myra's eyes were no longer on the senior guy or his family but she was just looking at Keshav who was scratching his eyebrow and rubbing his nape but she didn't miss his adam apple bob as he gulped

Keshav: We are getting late mister, get in now.

Once the family settled in the back seat Keshav started driving stealing glances at Myra who was still looking at him but her trance broke when the baby started crying.

Myra watched the couple through the rear mirror, they were pacifying the baby and soon the baby fell asleep. When they reached the city the family got down and he passed his card to Myra.

Senior Guy: Thank you for the help. I now realized the reason behind your husband's rage that day. Wish you happy married life and I will be happy if you could visit my home one day.

Myra and Keshav nodded their head and Keshav resumed his driving yet again none spoke a word until Keshav stopped the car.

Myra: Why are we here ?

Keshav: I have called the person here to meet you. 

He got down and opened the door for her. He opened the door and lead her to a room in the ground floor.

Keshav: Refresh Myra, I will be back after making a call.

Myra sat on the bed with her mind reminiscing everything that happened since the evening.

Myra Mv: It was Keshav who fought for me. Those gifts ? If Krish is not the person then who could be the K ? Keshav - K . could it be him ? There is no way for someone from outside to place a gift in my home but why does he have to leave the gift in the name of K ? Is that why my mind reminded me the yellow roses Ketchup gifted me on the event day ?

A few minutes later she heard sound of guitar and rose to her feet but stopped abruptly hearing the same voice, the voice of the mystery singer.

Mystery Singer:

Ennavalae adi ennavalae
Endhan idhayathai tholaithu vitten
Endha idam adhu tholaintha idam
Andha idathaiyum maranthu vitten

-Oh my dear! oh my dear!
-I've lost my heart
-The place where I lost it
-I forgot that place as well.

Undhan kaal kolusil
Adhu tholainthadhendru
Undhan kaaladi thedi vanthen

-Thinking that I would have lost it in your anklets
-I came searching for it at your feet

 She took a run in the direction and stopped before a door which was ajar from where she heard the voice. She opened the door and saw Keshav seated on a couch holding a guitar in his hand and looking at her.

Keshav:

Kaadhal endraal perum avasthaiyendru
Unnai kandathum kandu konden
Endhan kazhuthu varai indru kaadhal vanthu
Iru kanvizhi pithungi nindren

-I realised that love is agony after I saw you.
-Being filled with love upto my neck I now have my eye-balls bobbing out!

Myra stumbled and leaned on the wall watching him singing with his eyes locked with hers.

Keshav:

Kaathirunthaal ethir paarthirunthaal
Oru nimisamum varusamadi
Kangal ellam ennai paarpathupol
Oru kalakamum thondruthadi

When you are waiting and pining for your love, every minute seems
like a year
I have this overwhelming feeling that all eyes are staring at me.

Myra felt tears running down her cheeks and Keshav sauntered to her and knelt before her continuing his singing.

Keshav:

Idhu sorgamaa
Naragamaa solladi ullapadi
Naan vaazhvathum vidaikondu
Povathum un vaarthaiyil ullathadi

Is this heaven? Or hell? Please tell me as it is.
My life and death are entirely in your words!

Myra's chest was heaving and she gulped unable to utter a word looking at Keshav who had now placed the guitar on the floor. He held her hand and kissed her knuckles without averting his gaze from her face.

Keshav: I m your mystery singer butterfly and this is my third job but more than a job this is my passion because I do this for you.. only you. I Love you butterfly

Myra was stunned hearing is confession and looked at his hands holding hers before averting her gaze to his eyes which held the intensity to reach her soul.

Myra: What ?

Keshav: I love you Myra, I love you with my whole heart, my soul. Not today, not yesterday but for years and years I have been in love with you. I was breathing to love you.

Myra: Ketchup....

Keshav: If Loving is an art, I want you to be my Picasso Myra.

Myra: No, you don't meant it. Tell me everything is a lie. You cannot love me. How can you say this to me when you love someone else ?

Keshav: How do I prove it you Myra ?

Myra: Please don't this to me. Stop playing this love game. I tired of it.

He held her hand and placed her palm against his chest. Closing his eyes, he sighed and gave a gentle squeeze to her palm.

Keshav: I love you Myra. It has been always you then, only you now and it will always be you forever. I will never be tired of loving you cause my life is meant only to love you even from the age when I didn't know what is to fall in love. Yet here I m before you confessing my love after years of being hidden deep in my heart Myra. I love you with every bone, fibre and cells in my body. I love you to the moon and back. I love you to the eternity Myra.

Myra's shoulder dropped and her body lost its senses, her feet gave away and before she could fall to the ground Keshav pulled her to his embrace. He pulled her to be seated on the couch and sat on the floor holding her hands.

Keshav: Butterfly, please look at me. I have been dying to confess for years and finally I could do it today. 

Myra: How ? you said you were in love ..

Keshav: Its you little one, I have always been in love with you. I know you are surprised and shocked but it is the truth. I had planned to bring you here to confess my love today but that bitch spoiled my plan. In fact I was ready to confess everything once you come back to me after the two days time you asked for but I changed the decision when I saw you broken today. I thought you need time to come out of what happened today but I made my mind that I should do it today and reveal everything after.. after.

Myra: After ??

Keshav: After I saw those gifts on the bed.

Myra: Was... was it..you ? Did... did you send me ... those.. gi..gifts ?

Keshav nod his head and Myra looked at him shocked with tears rolling her cheeks profusely.
