---You will pay for every tear you brought in my eye ---
TARA
After the funeral my mom mostly ate in her room but today was different she came out of her room and sat with everyone to eat. She closed herself in her room for days after my dad's death. I kept going to her room but she refused to speak a word.
" Tara " Chacha said sitting across me on the dinning table.
I hummed lifting my gaze up. " Tara my child, I know you are not at fault for trusting someone blindly but then not everyone understands" He said putting his words carefully not wanting to hurt me.
" The people are talking things about our family and especially you and it's not just them but also some of our allies and we need to do something about it or we might loose their partnership, after all we can not shut everyone's mouth "
I kept staring at him blankly not knowing what to speak. It was happening all because of me . I was the reason for their disrespect.
He had a point I need to do something , forget about the allies , our reputation was on stake. Dad always said, for us Rajputs Reputation comes first.... and I ruined it.
" Get Married" Mom grimaced, her gaze still down at her plate. I went numb for a moment , My heart picked up a fast pace and started thumping loudly against my chest. I can't imagine marrying anyone other than Dhruv. His face started dancing in front of my eyes and suddenly all the hate that I had was taking a back seat. I kept fighting with my heart telling it I can't love him he killed my dad.
No i need to be strong I can't let this weaken me or else I won't be able to do justice to my dad.
"Tara" chacha said snapping me out of my trance. I simply hummed in reply.
"Tara, Are you willing to-" He said comforting me.
" I will" I sighed getting up from my place. I rushed into my room as my eyes welled up , I closed the door behind me and broke into cries. This was all happening because of one stupid thing that i did. I couldn't hold back the poignant memories they started to hover over my mind debilitating my ability to think.
Few days back
It was Holi. We were gathered in the palace yard for Holika Dahan. It's a tradition in our community that first the holika will be burnt at the King's palace and then people will burn the holika at their home by taking the pious fire from the King's Holika dahan.
Dad burnt the fire and the procedure began. People came to take the fire while some couples took rounds ( Pradakshina) of Holika. It was also a saying in our palace that if an unmarried couple completes the pradakshina then they would end up getting married for sure.
I was fascinated by this concept when I was a child, I saw my parents take the rounds and even chacha-chachi followed the ritual when they were unmarried and then my grandpa sent a proposal to chachi's dad.
I Dreamed that i would fall in love someday and do the ritual with my lover and then eventually marry him.
But little did i know even the most magical spell won't work if that's not what Destiny wants.
I completed my ritual and faced the Holika to join my hands and pay respect to the Agni Devta ( Fire lord).
I turned around to leave but then my eyes got struck on someone , Dhruv? I double looked at him to confirm and it was Dhruv.
"What the fuck are you doing here, If someone sees us together we will be dead" I murmured in fear my eyes were roaming all around checking if someone was seeing us.
"Not anymore baby girl , We are getting married soon" Dhruv's lips curved upward in a smile. We are getting married? what is he say- I looked at his hand he was holding my Dupatta.
"Dhruv did you.."*pointing at the fire* do the pradakshina with me?" He nodded pressing his lips together. My jaw dropped on the floor. I froze there for a moment and then a blush crept on my cheeks realizing what he just did.
His looked around and then all of a sudden he grabbed my hand and pulled me in the hallway , my back collided with the wall and he hovered over me. His one hand was above my head and another was on my naked waist. I gasped at his action.
"Dhruv someone will see us" I murmured checking if someone was looking at us. He grabbed my chin and made me look into his eyes.
"Better" He smirked.
I was drowning into his majestic hazel eyes and I didn't want to be rescued.
"Rose " He said with his eyes stuck in mine intensely gazing . I hummed in reply. " I want to make you mine" Heat rushed to my cheeks turning them crimson. Butterflies fluttered in my belly making me go insane. I thought of teasing him.
" You may but for that -* hits his chest lightly with the tip of index finger * you need to do something" I grinned. He lifted an eyebrow. " And what's that?". He leaned to hear me clearly, and that for some reason made me blush harder.
"You need to be the first one to apply me the Gulal [colors of Holi ] tomorrow and If you succeed then I will do whatever you want me to do" He looked into my eyes with a smirk while i played with his shirt. He then held my chin and brushed his thumb on my lips , a gush of wind blew between us and I gasped.
"Whatever I want you to do?" He questioned looking at my rose pink lips. " whatever you want me to do." I whispered. He was about to kiss me but then-
"Tara.. Where are you?" My mom shouted outside the hallway. I pushed him away and he slammed his fist on the wall.
"See you tomorrow" I said turning my head back to tease him while he stood there leaning by the wall obsessively watching me leaving him.
Honestly it's heart rending to stay away from Dhruv but because of our families I can't stay with him. But he promised me that he will talk to my dad and after all the enmity must end some day.
