Recap: Archana and Madan lash out on Krish. Myra deny when Krish question if she loved him

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

Archana was seated next to Madan looking at anything but Krish who he held his mother's hand and knelt before kissing her knuckles. Archana gulped trying extremely hard to hold her tears. If Myra wanted to hide her love and if that would help heal her then she would do blindly. With a smile forced on her lips she looked at Krish, with her heart still bleeding for her little girl who had left masking her shattered heart and soul behind her painful smile.

Krish: Maa, what should I do now ?

Archana: Give us some time and you too get back to your work. Everything will happen at the right time.

Krish: You forgave me right ?

Archana: What do you exactly want Krish ? Do you want to us to fix the date and get you married as if nothing happened ? We forgive you but give us some time to move on.

Krish: Move on ? From what ?

Archana: You won't understand Krish so please stop questioning and it would be better you get back to your work or go to Bangalore and stay there as long as you want. Afterall it would not be your first time you stayed there. I m not taunting you, just stating the fact.

Madan: Your mother is right. Hope you will give us the time we wanted.

Krish nodded his head and retired to his room to update everything to Roshni. Archana and Madan too retired to their room and she plopped on the floor sobbing while Madan stood by the window hiding his own tears.

Myra was in her room looking at the gifts, cards, dried remains of the flowers. Vasundra entered holding a plate in her hand and sat next to Myra.

Vasundra: Myra, you haven't ate anything since last night. Now open your mouth and I will feed you.

Myra: I m not hungry maa, please leave me alone.

Vasundra: Myra, starving is not a solution for anything. Please forgive me Myra. I failed as a mother in protecting you. I should have seen through his facade and saved you but I was too blinded and today you are suffering because of us. Atleast I should have not teased you or encouraged you so I m at fault too. We failed as parents.

Myra: No maa, its not your fault. You are the best parents. You never wanted me to fall in love. I was the one assumed everything and you all supported me when you got to know my love for him. Its my destiny that I had to lose my love. No one is to be blamed.

Vasundra: Please throw away all these gifts Myra. Looking at them will not help you get over this.

Myra: These gifts, cards and flowers showed me real love and some day if given a chance I will question him. Why did he gift me all these if he didn't love me. Why did he care for me and protect me when didn't love me ? Why did he thrash those boys who tried to misbehave with me if he didn't love me ? I m still preserving these chocolate wrappers because those were not just chocolates, I saw his love for me then why did he not love me maa ? I tried in every way to give him what he gave me so why couldn't he fall in love with me ? Now I realize maa, Naina used to say that I should diet and maintain my figure. May be if I had been beautiful like Roshni then he would have loved me. After all he is a man and he only wanted someone beautiful that he can proudly introduced as his wife and not some one chubby like me. I don't deserve love maa.

Vasundra: Myra, me and your father meant it when we call you angel. Only fools get married looking at external beauty and that will never last long.

Myra: Maa, don't curse please.

Vasundra: I m not cursing Krish. I m just stating the fact Myra. The couple who are made for each are those who look at the inner beauty of each other. They stand by each other through thick and thins. They share every happiness and worries together. They don't give up on each other. even if the world comes crashing they don't leave each other's hands. They see the world through their partner's eyes. They don't need any words or explanation to understand the pain of each other. They will be the cure to heal the pain.

Myra: But I lost the person whom I thought I will share all these things with me. I lost myself forever maa.

Rajan who was hearing everything entered inside and sat on the floor holding Myra's hand.

Rajan: This is might be the wrong time to say but also the right time Myra. The truth is sometimes we might have to go through a failure with extreme pain only to receive or achieve something better. A person who travels in desert will get to see many mirages which would disappoint him but that would be nothing when he actually see an oasis. His happiness will have no bounds. Your love was true but may be the person you chose was wrong.

Myra: what if he was the right person and it was my fault that I did not confess my love sooner like actually Roshni did ?

Rajan: Do you think he would have not been attracted to Roshni even after you proposed him ? If he didn't feel your love or fall in love with you even after being with you all these years then what made you think that he would have fallen in love just because you proposed him ? Again lets assume that he accepted your proposal but what if he broke up with you after realizing that he actually loved Roshni and not you ? Would you have handled that betrayal from him ?

Myra: Appa, he is not a bad person.

Rajan: I m not saying Krish is bad person. I m just saying he is not the right person for you Myra. He could only be the best friend in your life. I know we are late to realize this but we are not too late. We know you are broken and this pain couldn't be healed in a day or two but all I m asking you is to try, just try every day a little more than the previous day.

Vasundra: You are our only daughter, very very beautiful daughter who deserve only the best in your life. If god has denied you something then he sure has something best written in your destiny.

Myra: Please maa, I couldn't take this.

Vasundra: I know Myra. This too shall pass and we are with you even if you wanted to leave this place then we would do that happily. We will do anything to make it easier for you to heal from this.

Myra: I don't want to leave this place maa. This has so much beautiful memories including this pain. Archana aunty and Madan uncle are feeling bad and responsible for everything happened. I don't want to make it too much hard for them and make them drown in guilt forever.

Rajan hugged Myra who was sobbing and hiccupping. He removed his glasses and wiped away his tears with his sleeves and Vasundra shut her mouth in her palms to muffle her sobs. They were holding on to each other crying over the misery of what life has turned into and that moment of trance was broken by the non stop door bell.

Vasundra: I think it must be Naina, I called her to stay for a couple days.

Rajan: I will go get her and you stay with Myra.

Rajan reached the door and opened it expecting it to be Naina but he was puzzled to see Keshav standing with a smile on his face.

Keshav: Are you ok Uncle ? Were you crying ? Is everything ok or am I missing something ?

Rajan: Keshav, you here ? I m ok, was just cutting onions but weren't you suppose to arrive yesterday for your brother's birthday celebration ?

Keshav: Yep, but stuck with last minute meeting so I made it today and I m straight up here to meet you. I have got something for Myra actually. Well, where is she ?

Rajan didn't know if he could reveal everything to him so he just smiled and welcomed him inside.

Rajan: She is in her room. What is it Keshav ?

Keshav: I know she is crazy for music shows and my company got some passes for the music show of her favourite singers so I thought I should give the passes to Myra. Also the program is tomorrow.

Rajan Mv: This should give her a little break from all the cryings. Thank god. Atleast you showed some mercy on our daughter.

Rajan: I will get her and make yourself comfortable. There is juice in the fridge or wait for aunty to make coffee for you.

Keshav nodded and Rajan ascended the stairs to Myra's room and informed everything to Myra and Vasundra. Myra washed her face and reached the hall with her parents.

Myra: Hello Ketchup, why didn't you arrive yesterday ?

Keshav: Hey little one, you ok ? Are you not feeling well ?

Myra: I m doing good ketchup. I think you are too early for the birthday celebrations.

Keshav: I will gift him something valuable to compensate for not being at the party but I think you are not well because you are calling me ketchup instead of uncle but I hope you will stop calling me uncle from now on because I got you passes for your favourite singer's music show.

Myra: I felt pity but since you are worried then I will call you uncle only and you will give me the passes.

Keshav passed the tickets to her and Myra smiled gently looking at the name of her favourite stars in it.

Keshav: My friend who is a Principal in school, wanted someone to train students in singing for their annual day function. I recommended your name but still wanted to confirm with you before giving any confirmation.

Myra: Train the students ?

Keshav: Yes, the school is in Ooty and you will have to stay for a month and train them. Accommodation will be taken care and you can take aunty and uncle with you too.

Vasundra: Myra, take the offer. You need this at this time. It would make you feel

Myra: Maa, please. Let me talk.

Vasundra knew she was about to blurt out and also she saw Keshav looking between them curiously from the way she reacted but she masked and smiled at him.

Vasundra: I will get you coffee Keshav.

Rajan held Myra's hand and squeezed to assure her to be strong. Myra sighed heavily and got seated opposite to Keshav.

Keshav: Are you sure you are ok Myra ? Did something happen ?

Rajan: Keshav, everything is fine. Actually you missed something important but you will know when you meet your parents. Now lets hear from Myra on what she has decided.

Myra: But I m not yet a professional to train. Will they be ok with that ?

Keshav: No one is born professional butterfly. Everyone is a fresher until they are given a chance. Also you don't have to worry because the Principal is my friend and he will make sure you are comfortable with everything and everyone will love your teaching. This will give an experience for you to become a professional. If he is impressed with your performance then he will sure recommend to many other schools.

Rajan: Myra, Trust yourself in this and I believe your passion will help you build a career in this. Open the door wide when opportunity knocks on it.

Myra: I have another request. My friend Naina can I take her with me. We have been taking classes together and she can help me.

Keshav: No problem, I will talk to him and you can take her along. I will give your contact to him and he will ring you. Now go shopping for the music show tomorrow.

Keshav: Why shopping ? I have many clothes ?

Keshav: You definitely don't need if it is just a music show but what if I say that I got VVIP tickets and you will get to meet your favourite singers.

Myra's eyes were wide as saucers and only then she noticed the tickets were VVIP. She closed her mouth with her palm and looked at Keshav who just shrugged. Rajan hugged Myra, thanking Keshav from the bottom of his heart for his presence at the right time to get his daughter out of the heart break temporarily.

Keshav: I will leave uncle. Amma, Appa must be angry with me once again for not being on time.

Rajan: Have tea Keshav.

Keshav: No its ok. I need to return by evening so I have hardly few hours to be with them.

Rajan nodded his head and Keshav took his leave. Myra looked at Rajan and hugged him once again letting the precious jewels from her eyes to adorn her cheeks. Her fist holding his shirt confirmed Rajan that she was breaking and he caressed her hair.
