One after another Tara was typing without a single break to herself and her hands. Her fingers were paining still she was doing her work. It's would be a lie if she said she is happy. After watching how Kartik care for Naira and her little things. How he stand for her everytime she needs him, Tara starts to question herself that why can't Mayank do same for her? She know she is foolish to except something like this from him. But she also needs love, care and affection. She looked at Mayank through a glass wall. He was working without minding the surrounding. His office cabin was filled with black show pieces. And a mix of dark grey and black colour was painting. All things happening her life was breaking her time to time. When she was 5 years old, her mother die due to medication problem. But her father never let her feel that she doesn't have a motherly warmth of her mother. He become both for her mother and father. She never felt loneliness till her father was alive. But after him there was no one with her on her side. She pause for sometime when she heard a voice. Shifting her gaze into the direction of the source of that voice. She saw her co-worker standing with a cup in his hand. He lean his arm on the table and smiled at her.
"Ms.Tara? Take a break and have some water atleast." He said as he know that Tara won't look after her health when she has a bunch of files infront of her to check and submit. " Just few more files Kabir." She sigh out and lean back on her chair. He forward a bottle of water to her. She smile and opening the bottle she gulps down half of water in one go. " No one is going to snatch the bottle from you. Drink slowly." He chuckled and slip from his cup. " Wanna heard a latest news of office?" Kabir again took a slip and Tara looked at him. Keeping the bottle on the table she looked at him with a 'What ?' expression. " Sonia got divorced." Kabir said out casually but Tara chocked on her breath. She start to cough. Kabir pat her back to calm her down. " What? But how?" Tara asked on which Kabir looked in all directions to confirm that is anyone is hearing their talk. After his satisfaction he again looked at Tara. " Her husband said that she was not giving hope to their relationship." Kabir slip his tea again. Tara snatch it from him and sign him to tell her everything clearly. " You know she is obsessed with luxury life and her husband is a middle class man. So she always push him to earn more........" Kabir pause for sometime and looked at Tara for her reaction. She was shocked more like she don't know how to react. " Now his patience got at peak. So he asked for divorce....... Now Sonia is begging for a chance." Kabir saw Tara was in deep thought so he snatch the tea of cup from her hands and start sipping his tea.
" How is your life going with Mr. Arrogant ?" Kabir asked finishing his tea. Tara sigh and looked at Kabir with disappointment. Kabir got the idea how is her life going. " Kabir, check this files." A co-worker shouted from behind. " I'll talk to you later." He wink at her and excused himself. Tara again start to focus on her work. But her mind was stuck on one thing. That is her husband who doesn't care for her. She tried to focus on her work to avoid her negative thoughts but it didn't work. She feel a unknown nervousness. Getting up she took her bag and went into washroom. She lock the door of washroom and looked at herself in mirror

Her beautiful face has became pale but nobody even ask her about her health. 'Whether she is OK?' She was all alone standing without any support. Turning the tap on she wash her face multiple times to calm herself down. She start to cry hard. Remembering about her father who left her in this cruel world to suffer. She turn off the tap and grab her hand bag. Turning the bag upside down everything fall down on floor. She sat on her knees and start to search for something. She saw the bottle and grab it into her trembling hands. Opening the lid of bottle she took all pills in her hand. Looking into the mirror she try to gather some confidence to take the step. Closing her eyes, she recall all her memories. Her dad, her father in law and many more happy memories. A tear escape from her eyes and she swallow all pills in one go. Her mouth hurts and her throat starts to burn. Her breathes starts to get heavy and her heart start to beat fast. Her head starts to spin and closing her eyes she fall down waiting for her death. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Tara opened her eyes and saw herself on a bed. Her brain was slow to process but she got the idea of her being in hospital. She try to getup but felt a pain in her body. She hissed in pain. " Tara are you OK?" Mayank said. Her gaze fall on him who just entered in room. He sat on the stool beside her bed and hold her hand softly. Her hand was fragile and weak. He know if he put some energy, he can easily break her bone so he tried not to hurt her. " Are you feeling any pain in your body?" He asked her caressing her hand softly with care. Tara moved her head denying. " I know you are in pain......... I'll call the doctor." He said and made her laid on bed properly and went out. Tara was confused by this behavior of him. Soon Mayank entered again but this time with a female doctor. She start to check Tara and observed her. She shift her gaze to Mayank. " Mr.Malhotra she is OK but not perfectly fine. You can take discharge but take a good care of her." She said and walked out from the room. Mayank ahead towards her and sat beside her. " Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?" Tara was looking at him but quickly shift her eyes down. She didn't want to talk to anyone now. She was disturbed and emotional.She again closed her eyes and relax herself. Mayank gotup and kissing her forehead. He went outside closing the door. When Mayank exit the room, Tara suddenly opened her eyes a tear again escape from her eyes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Mayank entered inside the doctor's cabin and took his seat. " Is everything fine doctor?" Mayank said rubbing his hands together. He was nervous more like worry for Tara. She was always there for him whenever he needed her. It's not like he never care for her. But he himself was not in state to take care of himself. He care for her more like he love her but never confess his feeling. Neither he know how to show his love from actions. " She is still weak, make sure not to stress her." Doctor said and prescribed him a bunch of medicines for Tara. " How is your therapy going on?" Doctor raise her eyebrows. " I don't see any improvement yet." Mayank sigh and closed his eyes not letting tears to fall from eyes. " But I cam see the improvement." She said trying to encourage him. " Only if I was able, she won't have been here, struggling for her life." Mayank was furious. He was angry on himself rather than anyone. " You know my husband cook food for me every Sunday. Even after having a bunch of cooks................... He do it for me, he think about me not about what others will think." She said and shift her gaze towards a photo frame kept on her table. Mayank smiled a little after watching her admiring her husband. " I think I should take a step forward..... I don't want to lose her........ my heart can't tolerate the separation." He sigh and took his leave from doctor's cabin. He went to complete the formalities for her discharge when Kartik was there with Tara. As soon as Kartik got to know what happened to Tara from Kabir leaving his all work he rush to hospital.
Both Mayank and Kartik brought Tara to Goenka Mansion. As soon as they entered they were showered with a lot of questions. But first they made Tara rest in her bedroom and answered all question one by one not to make things messed up. " I have told her before not to work. What's the need when we have this much money?" Sushila raged out. " Because she wants to." Mayank said in a cold tone. Sushila was shocked because he never back answer her. " Mayank you are back answering me?" She urged out. " Yes I'll if you try to harm my wife again. Now nothing matter for me more than her health." He argue with she. But suddenly got a call. He excused himself and moved out to get the call. Sushila was still in shock that he raised his voice against her only for his wife. ' I have to do something both Kartik and Mayank are escaping from my hands.' She cursed under her breathe. ' What is happening in this house?' Shubham thought in his mind.
