DHRUVTARA

DECEIT

--- Am I deceiving you or Myself?---

TARA

The room in dark, and it's a dark night . A new moon night. I can the voices of Cicadas and Crickets. Laying on my bed staring at the ceiling , mind's blank and sleep is nowhere to be seen Days recently are pretentious and nights are nightmares. I had never in my wildest dream thought that I would lose my dad , and that too because of Dhruv. He killed him but the fault was mine to let him in my heart. 

Today when I saw him I knew that he won't let me go easily no matter how bad it hurts or maybe it doesn't. He was never harsh on me probably, he was pretending to be soft. After all a daddy's princess in me wanted to be treated softly because she was as fragile as a flower.

" You are not the girl I fell in love with" * chuckles* Have you left anything to love you Dhruv? 

Suddenly I heard someone's footstep outside the window. I got up from the bed by a jolt. I peeped outside the window , but it was too dark. I got up from my bed picking up the gun from the side table. Slowly I walked towards the window " Who is there?" I pointed my gun on the window , I reached near the window and glanced outside as the beam of light from my rooms night lights made it easy for me to look outside. I moved my eyes around but forget a person I couldn't even see a bird.

 Right when I turned around to move back someone grabbed me from back his arm choking my throat, I was unable to breath , I tried pushing and moving frantically so that I could get out of his grip but it was too strong. I closed my eyes and took a long breath and with all the energy that I had inside me I hit my elbow in his stomach. He moved back holding his stomach as pain shot up in his body. I turned around to see who it was.

A man in black, his face was covered with a mask his one hand had a knife not a normal one something that was a Rajput Possession , In decades of my dad's rule none ever attacked him. Then why me? 

Anyways this wasn't the time for questions. He ran towards me making sure he doesn't make a noise from his throat , fearful that i would recognize him. He tried to stab me but I held his arm and pushed him back gathering all the energy that I had.

He came back rushing towards me and pushed me , the intensity of push was so high that I fell on the floor. I grunted in pain as my head hit the table. He was stepping towards me , all of a sudden there was a knock on my rooms door.

" Tara are you okay?" Chacha shouted. On not getting a response he tried breaking the door meanwhile the Man started running out of the window, I picked my gun and shot him on his leg, he fell down and the door opened but before Chacha could catch him he was gone.

Chacha rushed towards me and picked me up, I was in pain a lot of pain. 

" Tara Are you fine?" I nodded shutting my eyes as as sharp pain shot up in my head. Chacha called Deewanji ordering him to find that man as he wouldn't have gone far the palace is huge and over that he must be limping.

It was a horrific night. Alia slept  with me as chacha was too scared to leave me alone anymore. Honestly I don't care if I die , my revenge will be fulfilled and also my mom would be happy as both the killers of her husband are dead one literally and another would just be a body after all his soul would be gone.

Next Morning.

"Hiiiiiiii Taraaaaa"

 I was sitting on the couch in my room and suddenly I heard Khwab's Voice, I lifted my eyelids up and she was in front of me. " My best friend is getting married yayyyyy" She said faking her excitement , I know she read the card and probably is disappointed but also she hates Dhruv now.
