The pandit has ordered king Harshat and Tara to visit the near royal temple to have blessings of God and goddess, as told both were done taking the blessing and were on their way to sit on the carriage to return.
"Is that a market?!" Tara exclaimed in excitement "yeah it is, why are you so happy about this?" "Its been so long since I talked with people" without any further notice she, she started to undo her jewelleries "w-what are you doing?!" He was astonished "why are you-um- why are you u-undressing here?!" "I am not undressing you stupid! I am lessening my weight so I can move freely" she said and ran towards the market "s-stupid?!! Who are you calling stupid huh!! Wait!! Where are you running off too?!!" He ran behind her too but stopped and ordered his men to follow them in secret.
Soon he was able to catch up to her as she stopped in front of a painting shop "why did you ran away suddenly?! Do you know how dangerous it is?!" She was totally ignoring his warnings "I know I know" " Hey!! Listen to me when I am talking!!" He raged at her "uff Mr Akru, let the life be fun" she smiled and smeared a little bit of blue paint on his face." How did you dared to do that?" He got more angry but in a funny way "Like this" she said and smeared some more paint "just you wait!!" He tried to do the same to her but she ran away.
People were slowly escorted out so that the market would be safe for them, that made it easier for Tara to run around, he was about to catch her but she threw the clothes kept in the store near her, it stopped him but not for long. He was coming closer , she saw trays with flower petals, took it and threw towards him. During this entire time Tara was giggling like a small child and Harshat was also somewhat having fun after a long time in his life.
Tara hid behind a shop, suddenly her eyes fell into a certain kind of flowers. Harshat found her, he was tip toeing towards her, he was about to smear the paint on her but stopped when he heard her mumbling to herself "These flowers are so pretty, I am sure Nayna would have loved them" she smiled to herself.
Harshat cleaned hid hands with the handkerchief and threw it away "Lets go back" He declared, Tara turned around "OK but-" "No buts , let's go" He took her hand and dragged her to the carriage.
.......
Harshat was just sitting on the chair , but something from the past disturbed him. He suddenly remembered the day, where same things happened to him what happened today but with a little girl. He flew away in the thoughts of that little girl in his memories.

Pihu swam towards him, put his arms around her neck and pulled him towards the shore. Who was this man she saved, and why was he in this state?.
