Tara Discovers The Truth

Tara went to her room. Mrityunjay was sleeping like a little kid, unaware of the burdens of this world.

"He is quiet and reserved but that doesn't mean he needs to take anti-depressants," she thought.

Once again her inner self questioned, "And what if he needs to, then? What will you do Tara?"

"I will do what I need to. I will become his support and bring him back to normal life from the darkness of depression."

She sat near him and caressed his hair. She was about to move when Mrityunjay grabbed her hand.

He was shivering. His body was soaked in sweat, and he was murmuring something which was not clear to her but he seemed to be frightened of something.

Tara was not able to understand what was happening to him and was confused about what to do so that he gets relief. She ran to Dadaji's room to inform him of the same.

Dadaji came with Tara to her room. He caressed him, held his trembling hands in his, patted his back and said, "Everything is alright, Mrityunjay. I am here with you always."

After five minutes, Mrityunjay was quiet as he was still asleep because of the medicine’s effect.

Tara was quietly watching this standing near Dadaji.

"What was that Dadaji?"

Fear could be seen in Tara's eyes, which was obvious after seeing what had happened just now.

"Come." Saying this, he moved to the hall.

"Raghu, call Joseph."

After a while, Joseph arrived there.

"Joseph, what happened today on your way to the office, or while returning?"

Dadaji was sure Mrityunjay must have seen something heartbreaking and because of that, he was in this condition.

"Sir, today while going to the office when we stopped at a signal, there was a car which had met with an accident last night. The car was crushed and blood had spilled on the ground. After reaching his office, Mrityunjay Sir was not feeling well. Then, when I went to the office after leaving Ma'am here, he said he was not feeling well and wants to go home."

Dadaji signaled Joseph to leave.

"Oh! I was right," he murmured. Tension could be clearly seen on his face.

Tara was getting more scared after hearing Dadaji.

Dadaji looked towards Tara. Her face clearly indicated her fear, her confusion and lots of questions arising in her mind. "Dadaji..."

"Tara, when Mrityunjay wakes up, please don't ask him anything. Asking any question to him will result in an even more disturbing condition of Mrityunjay." Saying this, Dadaji went into his room.

She looked towards Raghu Kaka for her answer.

He didn't say a word, just caressed her head and went from there.

She walked to her room quietly and sat near Mrityunjay. Her eyes were filled with tears, thinking about what had happened to her Mrityunjay just moments before. “What is there that I don’t know about him? Is it anything serious?

He was always there when I needed him. He married me to bring happiness to my mom. Brought her home so that I could spend the remaining moments of her life with her. He did every possible thing to bring me out of grief and now it’s my turn to bring him out of this. Tomorrow Dr. Fahim will clear the air; he is the only person who can help me with this.”

After two hours, Mrityunjay woke up. He saw Tara sitting next to him.

Tara noticed Mrityunjay being conscious.

"Are you ok?" she asked hurriedly, but seeing Mrityunjay confused, she remembered Dadaji's warning not to ask Mrityunjay about the accident.

"I am fine," he replied hesitatingly when he saw he was holding Tara's hand.

At the dinner table, Dadaji was feeling relaxed seeing Mrityunjay was alright.

After dinner, Mrityunjay didn't join for a chat with Dadaji and Tara, which was now a regular custom after his marriage. He went into his study and was feeling restless. He kept remembering that accident again and again. He removed a cigarette from his drawer and lit it. After months, he was smoking. But it provided him some relief.

Tara was sitting in her room thinking when this night would end? When she would meet Dr. Fahim? How she can help Mrityunjay?

Mrityunjay came to their room after one hour. Seeing Tara still awake, he asked, "Why are you still awake?"

"Nothing… I was just going to sleep.”

Both of them wished each other good night. Tara kept watching Mrityunjay and slept.

At midnight, Mrityunjay was again shivering. His lips were trembling.

Tara woke due to the murmuring of Mrityunjay.

He was once again drenched in sweat.

Seeing him in this state, Tara did the same as Dadaji did; she caressed him, took his hand in hers and held it tightly, and patted his back.

“All will be fine Mrityunjay,” she murmured. Mrityunjay woke with a jolt and hugged her tightly.

"Please...don’t go... please…don’t…" He was constantly murmuring this. His grip on Tara was tight as if he was holding on and trying to grab on and prevent his belonging from being taken away.

Tara whispered in his ear, "I am always here with you, Mrityunjay... I am here…" She repeated this line three to four times in his ear.

After that he stopped murmuring. He was a little relaxed, and so his grip on Tara loosened.

She slowly removed his hands which were wrapped around her and made him sleep. She leaned on the headboard and sat watching him. She kept holding Mrityunjay’s hand and slept sitting there in wait of the morning which would bring all the answers to her questions.

As a regular routine day started, the only difference was Mrityunjay’s mood. He was sad and Tara was worried for him. She took Dr. Fahim's phone number from Dadaji. Dr. Fahim would arrive today after 2 pm, so Tara went to college.

On her way home, she asked Joseph to take her to Dr. Fahim.

"Come, Tara Bahu." Dr. Fahim directed her to sit down.

She kept Mrityunjay’s medicines in front of him.

"What is this Doctor?"

"Oh... So you want to know about Mrityunjay. He rested his hands on the table and said, "Now what I will tell you is the absolute truth about Mrityunjay.”

"Tara be patient and listen carefully to what I will say now. Tara, you might be knowing how Mrityunjay’s parents died in a car accident and also how his best friend Radha died."

She nodded in a yes.

"When Mrityunjay lost his parents, he was a kid. Although he was not there when that accident happened but the grief of losing his parents was always there with him. Uncle took good care of him but whenever he used to see the parents of his friends, he used to get sad. As he grew up, he befriended Radha. She was his best friend. And the night when the Mrityunjay-Radha accident took place, Mrityunjay was driving the car and he blames himself for that accident.

"After that accident, he went into depression. He became quiet and dull. Started smoking, eating unhealthily, working extra hours and taking no rest. He gets disturbed after seeing any accident as if it was his fault. He left driving after that accident. He had caged himself in his own world. He thinks if he would drive he would definitely hit someone. He is afraid to love. According to him, whoever he loved they died, so don't love anyone. That's all about Mrityunjay."

Tara was shocked to know what Mrityunjay had been through.

Dr. Fahim continued, "Seeing no medicine working, I suggested Uncle to send him to Nainital. And I was right. A change in the atmosphere really worked for him. He has reduced smoking to once in a while, comes home on time and rest you know how he is involved with people. But still he has not completely come out of depression. The wall that he had made between himself and his fear is stopping him from overcoming his depression."

"Is there any way to bring Mrityunjay out of this state?" she asked.

"Except his own will and courage, nothing can bring him out of this. Only if he can overcome his fear he can recover."

"What can I do?" she asked in hope of getting any way by which she can bring Mrityunjay back to life.

Looking at her through his glasses, Dr. Fahim questioned, "Are you serious?"

"Yes I am," she said.

"Make him overcome his fear. His fear of driving and of loving. And if he overcomes this then he is out of his depression."

Tara quietly stood up and walked out of Dr. Fahim's cabin.

In the car, Dr. Fahim's words were resonating in her mind.

"So yesterday's accident made him remember all those bad memories. And made him feel lonely."

"Joseph, when did Mrityunjay drive for the last time?"

"Ma'am since last year after that tragic accident he hasn't driven. Otherwise, he was a fabulous driver."

"I need to start from tomorrow," she murmured with determination.
