Fated strings of love

Prologue

Tara

It's been 19 years 4 months and 12 days, I got this Scar on my head as a last gift from you. it's fading..., but I don't want it to fade.
It's true that time can heal anything, but not everything. Sometimes I wish, it would have healed the regrets I had hidden in my heart, as these regrets are worse than scars.

I was lost in my own thoughts when I heard a knocking sound at my door, I don't even have to ask who it is, because I know it's none other than my son, Advait.
He opened the door as usual with a smile and came in.
" Good morning mom " He said With a light smile on his face.

I also wished him 'morning!! ' with a smile, in hope of seeing him smiling brightly at me.

He was looking at me with eyes filled with worries, and that is strange somehow, he said " let's go mom, everyone is waiting downstairs at dining table for you "

Is he all okay now? Well yesterday we had an argument as he was being stubborn that he wanted to go to London for his further studies, but I told him that I don't want to send him that far.
After all he is the only reason I am living for, as a result he was avoiding me from yesterday but is he okay now?
Well leave it, I also don't want to ask him,
What if, he again tried to convince me?

We went downstairs, I greeted mom and dad morning, advait pulled the chair for me to sit And servants served the food. As I started to eat, I noticed everyone was looking at me but why i wonder
So I asked " what happened to everyone why are you all looking at me like that?!"

Advait hesitated and asked " mom I ....i mean we all want to tell you something "

" What is it? " I asked
Mom hesitantly said " Tara..."

There was a pindrop silence in the whole dinning hall. I felt the seriousness of the moment.

Mom mustered up the courage and said " your brother, Rohit called us yesterday, a..And he said, that your dad is in the hospital, his situation is quite serious, he is suffering from a heart disease "
As i heard her my heart dropped.

" What!" I said as I was in shock.
I felt numb, there was a sudden feeling of regret, despair and sadness that came across me. My hands were shivering. And my heart was heavier than ever.

Mom stood up and patted on my back while holding her tears back she said " tara, i...I know in these 19 years you haven't talked with your dad and brother, but they also know that you still care about them, and your dad also wants to meet you "

the fear of losing someone again is just haunting me, i am not ready for this. I always wanted to talk with dad someday but I never imagined it in this way.

" How?...how will I face him mom??" my voice quavered And I wasn't able to stop my tears.
Advait came to me and wiped my tears, he looked in my eyes and grabbed my hand as it was shaking with fear. He said

" Mom, whatever happens I am right here, don't worry I am always with you "

When I heard those words and saw those eyes, it reminded me of him, the person I want to forget so hard, but still i felt a sense of comfort by looking at those eyes, it's the same sense of comfort he used to make me feel.

I can't lose myself right now, I have to be strong. Advait is always a great comfort for me so it's okay, he is with me always.

I got ready to visit dad,
Advait took me to the hospital, when i reached there, I took a deep breath. Advait saw my worries right through my face, so he held my hand tightly and told me
