บท 58: BREAKDOWN

Tara entered her condo and tears started flowing down her eyes the stunned face of his and his shining eyes were stabbing her heart repeatedly she just wanted to run away with him somewhere very very far where no one can ever find her. Tara sat on the sofa and cried for a long time everything was looking meaningless to her now, her sacrifices over the year to save her family, her white lies to make people believe that she was happy and the most to make her grandfather happy.

She tried everything to make her family stay together but atlast what she got... nothing. Tara stared at the ceiling without blinking tomorrow she will leave everything behind, the next one year will exhaust her completely and more importantly it will finish her from inside. Tara eyes were red due to excessive crying her who body was paining but the most prominent pain was in her heart which was bleeding due to the pain.

"Tomorrow I will leave everything behind... I will leave you Kian...I will leave a part of me with you...I destroyed Everything Kian...I destroyed us... please forgive me... please" Tara sobbed loudly.

A person was standing outside her condo and was listening to all this...his heart was paining for the fragile girl who's sobs were evident from outside only...he was Sarthaki. Sarthaki decided to check on her when she was not picking up her phone but the moment he was going to press the bell her sobs sounds echoed in the lone corridor then her painful murmuring stabbed his heart. The scene from five years ago was very similar to this and that time too he was standing there silently but this time he can't see her suffer alone so after many consideration he pressed the bell. The sound of bell startled Tara, she immediately wiped off her tears and fixed her hairs and went to open the door but the moment she opened the door her heart again started hurting.

The person standing before her was her support system who knew every single thing about her the more she tried to hide things from him the more he explored her darkest secret, she looked at him with painful eyes and hugged him tightly.

"Mam...why are you doing this...in the end it will only hurt you..." Sarthaki said and patted the girl in his embrace.

Both of them were very close to each other Sarthaki was a little younger than her but he was very mature, Tara believed him more than herself there was practically no professional relationship between them for Tara he was the only person who knew her darkest secrets and for Sarthaki she was half of his life and a elder sister whom he have to protect.

"I finished everything...he was so happy today but when he will come to know about my betrayal he will definitely hate me" Tara cried loudly.

"Mam let's go inside and talk..." Sarthaki closed the door and made her sit on the sofa, he then brought a cup of hot water for her to drink.

"Mam...drink it and calm down...we can still figure out something... aren't you the great Tara who can solve anything" Sarthaki said and made her drink the water.

The water calmed down her system a bit, she hiccuped twice before calming down totally.

"But I can't solve this...many lives are dependent on my single decision...if I disagree with Grandpa he will stop the marriage of bro and Polen....Polen will not be able to handle it...moreover bro will also break down" Tara said and wiped off her tears.

"Mam...what about you..." Sarthaki asked softly.

"What about me...I don't know...or maybe I don't want to know... without him I don't have the will to live a happy life atleast" Tara said and looked at him with red eyes.

"Mam...you are again doing the same thing you did five years ago...that day also you sacrificed your dreams to save Siddharth sir... please don't spoil everything mam...Kian sir loves you a lot" Sarthaki said and patted her shoulder softly.

"I know he loves me... I too love him a lot...but my life is so unfortunate I met the right person in wrong time..." Tara said and smiled bitterly.

"Sarthaki ...help me pack my luggage please.... I will leave tomorrow only... I can't bear it anymore" Tara said and stood up abruptly.

"You are not going there alone... I am also coming with you" Sarthaki said in a firm voice.

"But..."

"No but...let's pack...we don't have time anymore" Sarthaki said and walked towards her room.

Tara was standing there silently staring at her house which she decorated herself she will miss this place from tomorrow.

Both Sarthaki and Tara packed her luggage till late night they only stopped when Tara slept on the chair only. Sarthaki placed her carefully on the bed and switched off the lights and left the place silently. Tomorrow a storm will come that will break down each and every thing and he was prepared for it.

Tara was sleeping when suddenly her sleep was disturbed by a sudden message in her phone she opened it and tears again started forming in her eyes...Kian have messaged her.

" Today is a new day...may the first sun rays brace you and the first morning wind kiss you softly... remember that I am always there for you...".

She looked at the clock and it was exact 6 in the morning she opened her balcony door and a bright day welcomed her the soft breeze played with her hairs softly, she smiled dazzlingly.

"Kian... atleast we will survive under the same sky and the same sun with greet us everyday that's enough for me...".
