Three months later....

Pihu now worked as a florist in the same place. Adjusting to this place was one of the greatest challenges she has faced till date.

Her mental health totally downgraded in this period of time, all the events happened too fast. She realized the only reason she was happy and felt safe was because she was with her family. She loved her small yet happy family dearly.

It downgraded to a point that she decided she doesn't want to live anymore, all the frustration, struggle, for whom is she doing all this, let it end.

One fine Sunday, she went to the seashore, slowly walking towards the raging water, letting it engulf her completely to the point that she felt numb, and maybe for the first time in a while she felt safe.
............................................................

In these three months, all Harshat did was to ignore Tara , which to be honest, Tara was happy about. Life was not that bad, she can do whatever she wanted, go wherever she liked, play, eat . The only thing that stressed her was her sister. She didn't knew where she went so she was not able to contact her.

"Ahem" Harshat cleared hid throught, Tara looked up from her book and glanced at him "so Mr Akru, what brings you here?".

The king was confused, all the queens he married would die to have attention from him, but she is different, she never wanted any attention. "I- um- I came to see if you have damaged any books of mine" He was flustered, "why would I damage your books?" She stood up from her seat. " n-nothing , I am leaving" He left in a hurry.

Tara was confused "Why is he so weird, I don't know what other ranis see in him  that they die to grab his attention, anyway let's continue with the book"

The king was confused, he never felt something like this, whenever someone ignored him, he would avoid them too but not in this case, something about her is different yet familiar but he was not able to point out what?.

He went to his room and opened one of his cherished chest, from there he took out an old painting, painting of a little girl "Priye , do you know why I am feeling like this? The only time I felt like this was when I think about you, I know that this is love, but I only love you priye, then why? Why am I feeling the same thing when she is around?"

He was so confused, after talking to the painting for some more time, he securely placed it inside and closed it. "Good night priye".

On the other hand, Tara was having a sleepless night. "Pihu , are you alright? I am dying in tension thinking about you, please be safe".
