Part 4
Tara arrived at the temple with Mannat. She was worried about how she would meet Mrityunjay and Pari in the presence of Mannat. Her eyes were searching for Mrityunjay and she was praying to God to do something so that she can meet Pari and Mrityunjay. She was praying when she heard a group of saints entering the temple. She turned to see them. Her prayers were answered and she saw Mrityunjay. Mannat lost track of Tara in the crowd. Tara was trying to locate Pari in the crowd.
She saw small fingers wrapped around Mrityunjay's finger.
A small girl, holding Mrityunjay's hand was climbing the steps of the temple. She was looking like a fairy, an angel, her each small step excited Tara very much.
A series of past memories replayed in her mind. The last time she had held Pari, she was just three or four days old and now she was a five year old girl.
She was looking like a princess in a pink glittery frock with frills. Her tiny feet were approaching Tara.
Tears were flowing from Tara's eyes seeing her Pari in front of her. She was even more cute and beautiful than her picture.
Mrityunjay came to Tara holding Pari's finger.
"Pari this is your aunty."
"My aunty..." two little pink rose petal like lips whispered.
The angelic voice reached Tara which was music to her ears.
"Yes my princess, your aunty."
Pari hugged Tara and Tara hugged her back. She was crying, kissing Pari on her forehead then on her cheeks. She kissed her again and again, caressing her face. She wanted to love her daughter, she wanted to pour her five years of love in that one moment on her daughter.
"Why are you crying aunty??" Pari asked, wiping Tara's tears with her little hands. Tara kissed Pari's hand.
Pari's voice was the melody of life. Tara's eyes were once again filled with tears.
She hugged her, "Nothing, my child. Nothing..." Mrityunjay was seeing all this. His eyes got moist seeing Tara and Pari. He embraced Tara. She was sobbing.
"Mrit...yun..jay..." She wanted to express her wishes about how they would raise Pari but in that emotional moment her throat was choked. Her eyes were stuck on the little princess standing in front of her. Pari's smile was the medicine that filled the five year old wound in just a few minutes.
"Yes Tara, she is our Pari. We will raise her together," he wiped her tears. He was seeing what remained of his family complete once again.
"Listen..." He was in a hurry. He didn't want to be caught by any of Kalavati's men. He whispered in her ears, "Kalavati has found Fahim Chacha. He was very brutally beaten and I have made Kalavati believe that I will kill him once he is fine."
Tara was shocked to know this. She saw Mannat searching for her. Seeing the shortage of time, she quickly informed Mrityunjay.
"Mrityunjay, Omkar is a very bad man. He and his sister know that I am Tara. I am a look-alike of Omkar's wife. I don't know why he wants to kill me. I heard him saying yesterday that tomorrow after Sia's birthday he is going to kill me."
"What!!!" Mrityunjay was shocked to know about Omkar. He stared at her in horror.
"He can kill me now also. But he won't. He is saving me till Sia's birthday. I don't know what is so special in her birthday that he is waiting for tomorrow."
Mrityunjay frowned at her words.
"One more thing, Sia has a brother. His name is Vedant. He is a police officer." She saw Mannat coming towards her.
"Mrityunjay you go now before Mannat comes here... Go...go...go..." Mrityunjay immediately moved away from there with Pari.
"All done??" asked Mannat trying to check her surroundings, to see whether there was anyone to whom Tara was talking.
"Yes...Yes." Tara tried to act normally.
They started moving when Pari came to Tara.
"Aunty this is for you," she gave her a red rose whose stem was wrapped with paper.
At first Tara was confused, but when she saw Mrityunjay pointing at the rose, she noticed that paper. Something was written on it. It contained a message.
"Thank you," she caressed her face.
Mannat watched Tara and Pari's bonding. They left the temple.
*****
While going back to Kalavati's den, Mrityunjay made a deal with Pari.
"Ok my princess, don't tell anyone about what happened in the temple."
"Ok Uncle. It is a secret between bear and rabbit," she winked.
Mrityunjay hugged her.
*****
"Does Tara know that girl?? I should ask her," thought Mannat entering Agnihotri House.
"That girl was sweet," Mannat tried to retrieve information on whether Tara knows that girl.
"Yes she was. She is Pari."
"How do you know her name?"
Tara realized that just now she revealed Pari's identity. In order to keep Pari safe, she needed to keep her relationship with Pari a secret, otherwise this bro-sis duo can harm her too. She covered up by saying, "You saw, how cute that girl was. I am sure her parents must have named her Pari."
"Hmm, you are right, she was cute. I think now you should rest." She watched Tara going to her room. "Well Tara, from now on she will be my weapon against you."
Tara went to her room and immediately closed the door. She opened the paper wrapped around the rose.
"Tara, as per my investigation, Omkar is a human organ smuggler. Try to find some proof against him.
Remember one thing Tara, "I love you" and we will be one soon. You, Me and Pari."
Her heart skipped a beat reading this note. A tear trickled down her eye. She wiped the tear. With determination to find proof to unmask the evil and to reunite with her family, she started her search.
