Ch.12-Her Only Comfort

Author's Pov

The day was over, Someshwar came back home with Tarini.Those who became friends today and went out with the hope that there would be fun and some moments of laughter would be found, came back with just silence and sadness.

Before he could say a word to her she got out of the car and walked towards her house. He wanted to stop her so badly, to comfort her, to listen to her side of the story but he realized how much she must be going through so at this time it was better not to disturb her with questions.

On the other hand, Tarini was upset and triggered. Like every time, no one found it necessary to know what the whole story would have been. People just went on calling her careless, impulsive, filled with aggression and so on.

When she walked in, Ridhi quickly engulfed her in a hug of course Tarini returned it but she said nothing and went inside her room closing the doors behind. Ridhi tried to stop her but nothing worked.

She ran frantically to find Robin hoping he would be able to stop Tarini. When she got to the door, Robin was standing there, with a worried look on his face.

Robin saw how tears could not stop flowing from her eyes. Seeing her best friend in pain always hurted her but what hurt them the most was not being able to help her in any way. Ridhi knew what condition will Tarini go through after this and it shattered her heart everytime.

They both rushed towards her room when the sounds of breaking things came from her room. Continuously banging on her door, calling out her name but when did she listen?

Soon those sounds died down. Robin and Ridhi who were sitting right in front of her door after being completely helpless ,saw Tarini come out with a blank face. Grabbing the broom stick she went back inside this time leaving the door open, and started cleaning the mess she created.

The whole room was in turmoil, pieces of glass were scattered everywhere. It was a habit that made people unable to understand her anger. She used to bottle up first and when it crossed the limits, she either used to cry alone or break things.

But she always made sure that she also takes the responsibility to compensate for the damage done . Never did she ever let the harm get to anyone else around her. Unless people like that employee came to challenge her.

Robin could not see his two sisters in this condition. For an instance it was possible to comfort and handle Ridhi in sensitive situations but Tarini never gave a chance to anyone to handle her or comfort her. His hands were tied.

Somehow they made it through the night and soon returned the morning Sun with it's light.

Someshwar's Pov

It's Sunday today and usually there's a different energy in our house on this day as I and Krisha are home. We start our day by Worshipping God Shiv together. Then Dad reads us both the newspaper which, Krisha never finds interesting at all. Mom cooks our favorite things in Breakfast and she's preparing for it right now. But this morning is just not the same, everything seems a little dull.

We are all sitting in the living room and Dad is going through the newspaper when something familiar caught our attention. Pankaj Verma's news is again on the front page making headlines.

"Sunil Gupta the employee who was held upside down from the height of 15 th floor by Tarini Arora was arrested this morning for molesting female colleagues in the office."
