𖦹LOVE ALWAYS A BATTLE𖦹

Tara is resting in her room, still feeling a little tender from her fall earlier. She's lying on the bed, her leg propped up with a cushion for support. The atmosphere is calm until Nithya quietly steps into the room. Tara looks up, surprised but smiles politely.

Tara (with a gentle tone): Nithya? You need something?

Nithya stands near the door for a moment before walking closer, her expression unreadable.

Nithya (forcing a smile): No, no... I just thought we could talk for a bit. About... Adi.

Tara sits up slightly, adjusting her pillows, a little confused by the sudden topic.

Tara (smiling): Adi? What about him?

Nithya takes a seat on a chair near the bed, keeping her voice light but with an underlying intensity.

Nithya: You know, I've known Adi for a long time. We've been close... really close. We've been through a lot together, and I guess I wanted to make sure you understand what kind of person he is.

Tara listens carefully, her face reflecting mild curiosity, but she's still unaware of any hidden meaning in Nithya's words.

Tara (genuinely): Yeah, I know he's a good person. He's been really caring and kind. I'm lucky to have him.

Nithya's smile tightens for a moment, sensing that Tara is not getting her point. She leans forward slightly, her voice dropping a bit.

Nithya (with a hint of sharpness): I just mean... you and Adi, you're still getting to know each other, right? Marriage doesn't magically mean you know everything about someone. Some bonds... they take time to build.

Tara feels a slight shift in Nithya's tone but still doesn't catch the underlying jealousy. She smiles softly, maintaining her calm composure.

Tara (nodding): Of course, we're still learning about each other. But we've been through a lot too. We're getting closer every day.

Nithya's eyes flicker with irritation for a second before she covers it up with another smile.

Nithya: Right... but you do know that he and I... we've shared so much. There's a connection between us that can't just disappear.

Tara tilts her head slightly, sensing something off in Nithya's words but still not realizing the full depth of what Nithya means. She frowns slightly, trying to understand.

Tara (genuinely confused): I didn't realize you two were that close... but I'm sure Adi values all his friends.

Nithya, frustrated that Tara isn't getting the hint, decides to push a little more.

Nithya (leaning in, her voice firm): Tara, I'm saying this because I care about Adi. I don't want you to misunderstand. Our relationship... it's not something that can be easily replaced.

This time, Tara feels a strange sense of discomfort but still keeps her composure. She looks at Nithya with calm confidence.

Tara (firmly, with a reassuring smile): I'm not trying to replace anyone, Nithya. Adi and I have our own bond, and I trust him completely. Whatever you both shared in the past is part of his life, but now... we're building something together.

Nithya's face hardens, her frustration barely concealed, but Tara's confidence catches her off guard. Tara, still unaware of Nithya's feelings, remains polite but firm in her response.
