DHRUVTARA

ARJUN IS BACK

--- I want to snatch you away from the world and that's what my heart keeps singing day and night---

DHRUV

She is looking out of the window gazing at the beautiful sunset with a small smile on her face as if she wasn't just killing those men mercilessly  , I know i should focus on driving but if she keeps smiling like that then I don't know how to keep my eyes fixated on road. 

" Keep your eyes on the road "  She ordered with her eyes still looking out of the window, I smirked and unwillingly focused on the road. The rest of the ride was silent , the car halted as we reached home. I came out and stopped the guard from opening Tara's side of door. I walked towards her and opened the door.  She stared at me with a smirk and got up , and without talking moved inside the palace while i stood there with my mouth wide open. 

Is she really my Tara? Whatever it is i love it. 

I walked inside and my eyes fell on Neil first , and the memory of that death glare hit me. Well I still have people to persuade. My sassy miss is busy talking to Khwab , being mindful that she doesn't talk about the attack. 

I studied the atmosphere in the room , it was tensed. Maa and Baba were looking at Tara with  concern , maybe it's because Neil might have told them about the Attack. 

Neil got a call from someone and he left the room without looking at me. I have badly hurt him. I went out behind him and I overheard the conversation.

NEIL- Tighten the security around the palace , for few days no one should enter inside except the family members.  Hmm. Okay. I don't want any mistakes. 

Why is he tightening the security? It might be because of the attack today. I went near him and tapped on his back. 

" Tara's mom is coming in few minutes " Neil said coldly.

" Why? and leave that why aren't you talking to me?"

" I don't talk to strangers " He replied.

" Strangers? what are you saying?" 

" Paraya toh tune kar hi diya haina , sachme Dhruv tu itna bhi kabil nhi samjhta mujhe ki mai tere liye lad saku, kya bola tha tune huh - you don't want to indulge me in this war that you and Tara are fighting" Neil pushed me in anger.

[You have already made me a stranger, Dhruv, you really don't think I am capable enough to fight for you, what did you say]

" Mera vo matlab nahi tha Neil , Khwab is pregnant what if something happens to her , I and Tara are already at risk I don't want Khwab to get involved in this " I tried explaining him but he just refuse to understand. 

" Why not Dhruv? Am i not Tara's friend?"  Khwab walked down the entrance stairs and we both looked at her.

" Answer me Dhruv" I looked at the ground as I had no answer to her question.

" Dhruv , I am not letting you fight this alone , have you seen what you have done to yourself you are fucking exhausted , Is this how you will fight ?" Neil put his hands on my shoulders making me aware about the reality. Even though today I felt that i had Tara by my side but in reality i can't really keep her with me , that would be liking inviting her death.

" I will stand with you no matter what happens Dhruv and if it's about the baby and my life then Neil is there to protect us , and you know what My baby believes in Dhruv chachu too that he won't let anything happen to us "  A slight smile appeared on my face , I looked at Neil and he pulled me in a hug.
