Gelupu prayāṇaṁ
(A winning journey)

Looking into the deep black sky with her legs swinging Tara felt an strong arm draped around her. Knowing who it is she didn't turn.
"Inta kopamaa?",asked Sidharth.
("This much of anger?",asked Sidharth.)

Still there was pin drop silence.
"Mari...Naa bangaram ni ed...edpiste....",shehnaaz tried replying in Telugu.
("Why not? You made her cry...",shehnaaz tried replying in Telugu.)

"Accha....tho kya kare ab??",asked sidharth with an innocent face.
"Manavo....",replied shehnaaz sliding her arm on the other side of Tara.
"Teeke......lekin pehle tu Jaa aur hum dono keliye special strong black coffee..",cutting him in th middle shehnaaz said,"with no sugar. Haina?? Pata nahi dono baap beti ko cheeni se kya khaarish!", exclaimed shehnaaz with a disgusting look.
"Khaarish nahi...fitness! Isiliye tu moti hai. Aur hum dono fit!",replied sidharth pulling Tara near her and smirking towards shehnaaz.
"Haa...haa fit.....pata nahi kaunsa fitness
jismei parate Naa kasake..",saying shehnaaz walked into the kitchen.
"Gussa ho??",asked sidharth pulling his daughter into his embrace but got no reply.
"Accha....naak pe hai???",asked sidharth with a funny look on his and pinched Tara 's nose.
But still no reply.
"Oo...tho vusse aage hai....,hmm...
Sorry Mera baccha....",said sidharth making Tara look at him.
"Ok...ok... Mai kabhi nahi bolunga. Fine??",asked sidharth looking at her.
Still not replying but Tara hugged him tight. While sidharth felt his tshirt getting wet.
"Hey...princess.....idhar dekho kya hua. I promise baccha...",saying sidharth rubbed Tara's back trying to calm her.
Sobbing yet Tara spoke,
"I love u Baba...aur mujhe nahi lagta  accha koi aapko bura kahe. You are my super hero. Film se bhi bada wala... You know it. I don't like when you speak low about yourself. Aapne pehle bhi yeh Kiya. Why you do like that... I feel safe with you. Mumma feels protected, Di,ruhi. Lucky n sheen aunty sab feel so protected around you. Then why you feel guilty because of a women who accused you falsely???",asked Tara getting out of sidharth 's embrace.
"I know baccha...lekin it feels so messed. I don't want you to face the same humiliation again. Tab tho tune yeh bola bhi nahi ku you're my daughter. Fir bhi....",cutting sidharth in mid Tara spoke," Baba... Seriously you feel it. Kyu koi aake aapke baare mei bura bolega and I'll accept. Kaun hai baba vo?? Bolo... You... You're the one. You held me when I broke. I know how good you are. Promise me. Promise me you won't repeat this again",said Tara.
"Karo....promise....",said Tara forwarding her hand.
"You know Naa...U don't believe all these??",said sidharth placing his hand above her as a gesture of promise.
"Haa...but I believe Naa...",said Tara nonchalantly.
"Poora shehnaaz hai tu...",laughing at Tara sidharth pulled her cheeks.
"Aa..Baba..",saying Tara rubbed her cheeks.
"Yeh lo...tum dono ke kadwi coffe...", scrunching her nose shehnaaz handed Tara and sidharth their coffee filled mugs.
"Tara phir bhi tum 29th ko nahi aasakthi. Humne abhi shaadi nahi reveal ki na..",said shehnaaz sipping her over sweet coffee.
"Teeke...",said Tara with a dull face.
