DHRUVTARA

ONLY BLISS

-- When happiness knocks the door it comes in bundles--

TARA

Dhruv dropped me at the Rajput palace and left for his home. 

" Rakhi if anyone comes to meet me tell them to wait "

The baggage that I carried for so long doesn't exist anymore. It got burnt down into ashes. I am not happy , I have crossed that phase.

My heart is at solace . I stepped inside the shower , the cold water hit my warm skin washing away the heat that got captured by my body from that burning hell. I shut my eyes close soaking in the feeling of the darkness exit my body as the water runs down my body. The dark memories fade away one by one slowly. I turned off the shower , I felt like I was floating on the bliss. I feel light like the weight is off my shoulder.

New beginnings approach as I step out of the shower feeling clean and tidy. Mind is more surer than ever , no confusion is blurring it. I can see my present and future clearly. The relations in my life are more trustable. The feeling of freeness is surrounding me. 

I slipped into a normal white Anarkali just like old days , a smile adorned my face as I put a black bindi looking into my reflection in the mirror. I paint my inner eyelids with Kohl. I look just like my mom from from her 20s and for the first time I like it. Actually love it. Biting my lips finally I paint them with a lighter shade of red lipstick . I put the Dupatta over my one shoulder looking in the mirror. 

A wide smile adorned my face as i twirled around. I grabbed my phone and proceeded to move outside. Walking like a good queen. I love my little life so much at this point. I saw Chacha walking down the stairs.

" Good morning Chacha" I chirped like the old me. 

" Good morning princess , oh or shall I call you queen ?" He joked.

" Tara , it's Tara for you " I narrowed my eyes at him and he laughed.

" Come everyone's waiting for you in the yard for breakfast " He said putting his hand over my shoulder. We walked out together.

Mom was pouring tea in Chachi's cup and they were laughing merrily. Seeing them like that my smile widened even more.

" Good morning Mumma jaan" I screamed , I swear i never called her that it just came out of nowhere.

" Good morning sweetheart , and if you are going to call me that once more I will melt down" She said loving what I said. She is embracing her new chance at parenting because better late than never. I am glad that I have my mum. I hugged her and waved at Chachi , she gave me a big smile.

" Alia has become your huge fan Tara , now even she wants to learn how to fight" Chachi said buttering the bread.

" I will teach her chachi * I picked up butter knife pointing it at Chachi*"and she is going to ace it I know " Everyone laughed at my antics. 

" Di!!!!!" Alia came running towards me and hugged me from behind while I was sitting on the chair. " Look who's here".

" Who is here , baby ?" I said caressing her cheeks.

" Kabir bhaiyaaa" She squealed with joy. I looked at mumma , I thought she would not want to even glance at him.

" Mumma actually-" 

" I know Tara , he doesn't deserve hell for the wrong deeds of someone else" She said assuring me. 

This woman is healing so quick. I am fucking happy.
