Chapter 8

I woke up to the sound of the sheets ruffling. I looked up and saw Taara tossing and turning. I looked at the clock. It was 4 in the morning. I didn't know if I should wake her up or not. I decided against it and tried to loosen her grip on my hand so that I could leave before she won't up. Her grip was strong.

I tried once more but it was as if Taara didn't want to let go. I sighed and gave up. There was no point; I would end up waking her. I fell asleep once again as it was too early to wake up.

I woke up to the sun rays hitting my eyes. My head felt really heavy. I looked up at the ceiling. I wasn't in the hospital but I wasn't in my own room either. I recognised it as the guest room at Mrityunjay's house, but what was I doing here?

I got up only to be pulled back down. I looked down to see what had pulled me back. My hand intertwined with Mrityunjay's. He had been here the whole night?

I carefully removed my hand from his and shook his shoulder. "Mrityunjay, wake up," I said, attempting to wake him up. "Taara, let me sleep," he replied, sleepily. "Mrityunjay, wake up," I repeated. He refused to get up.

I got up and headed out and saw aunty sitting in the family room. "Taara are you ok?" she asked. "I'm fine Aunty. Actually aunty, I wanted to talk to you," I said sitting down. "Go ahead," she replied. "Actually, yesterday, Papa said... he said that... that he wants me to get married to Mrityunjay," I said. I looked at aunty to see her reaction.

"Taara, your Papa told us about all of this long ago. Infact, the day you were born, since that day he wanted you to be Mrityunjay's. Mrityunjay's Dad and I are very happy with this relationship. But you and Mrityunjay... Do you want to get married to Mrityunjay?" she asked.

This wasn't a wish of mine; it was something that I had to do. I had to do this for Papa. Besides, Mrityunjay was my best friend. He would understand me, right?

"Yes aunty. I really want to get married to Mrityunjay," I replied. "Really? I am so happy. Now we just need Mrityunjay to agree. I'll talk to Mrityunjay and then we will set the date for your engagement," she said.

"Aunty, if you don't mind, can I talk to Mrityunjay about this?" I asked. I think that it would be better if I told him rather than someone else telling him. "Of course Taara. Why not?" she replied. "Thank you aunty," I said.

The door opened and I saw uncle walk in with papa. "Papa," I said and ran up to him. I led him over to the couch and helped him sit down. "Taara, here are the medicines that the doctor prescribed," he said handing me the bag.

"I'll get water for you," aunty said. "Aunty, I'll get it," I said, stopping her. "Ok," she said and sat back down. I headed towards the kitchen.

I was heading out with the tray when Mrityunjay came in my way. "So you finally got up," I said. "Yeah. Mom said you wanted to talk to me. What happened?" he asked. "I'll just go give this and then we'll talk," I said, gesturing towards the tray. "Ok," he said, letting me pass through.

"Aunty, I'll just be back," I said. "Ok, go ahead. Talk to Mrityunjay," she said. I smiled and headed up to Mrityunjay's room with him.

"Now tell me, what happened?" I asked her as we walked into my room. "Mrityunjay, last night in the hospital... Papa told me something," she said. "What did he say?" I asked. "Mrityunjay... he wants... he wants us..." "He wants us to what?" "He wants us to get married."

I looked at Taara, shocked. Me, get married to Taara? "And what did you say?" "I said yes. What else could I do Mrityunjay? I want to fufill his last wish and if this is it, I'm going to make sure that it's complete." She turned to look at me. "Mrityunjay, I know that you don't wont to get married but will you do this for me? If you won't help me, then who else will?"

I looked at him, waiting for him to reply. Please say yes, I thought. "Mrityunjay," I said, "what did you decide?" "I'm ready to get married to you," he replied. "Really?" "Yes, shouldn't we tell your dad this good news?" "Yes let's go." I turn to walk out but am stopped by Mrityunjay. "What?" I asked.

I took her hand in mine and said, "We're going to get married Taara. It should look like it." She nodded and we headed down the stairs. "Papa," she said. "Mrityunjay and I are going to get married." "Really beta?" he asked. "Yes, Papa."

I looked at Mrityunjay and he squeezed my hand in reassurance. I turned back to Papa and smiled. "Now we have to get these two engaged as soon as possible," Aunty said. "Taara, you go home and change then come and join us all for breakfast. Mrityunjay, you go as well." "Yes Aunty," I said and headed off to the door with Mrityunjay behind me.

I stopped at the gate outside and said, "Thank you." "For what?" he asks. "For supporting me. I know that I asked you for a lot. But I promise that I will do my best to make this marriage work. For Papa's sake." "Taara, I also promise you that I will do my best to be a good husband," he replied. "I know," I said and headed towards my house.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Why did I say yes to Taara? I would never have said yes to anyone like this and after all, this is the question of both of our lives. But she's Taara... she's special. She's not just anyone; she's my best friend. I've known her since the day she was born. My mom's voice broke my train of thoughts. "Mrityunjay, Come downstairs, Taara here." I quickly pulled on a shirt and headed downstairs. I saw Taara standing next to the table. I smiled and sat down at my normal seat.

"Taara, go sit next to Mrityunjay," Aunty said, pushing me towards Mrityunjay. "No aunty, it's ok. I'll help you," I said. "It's ok, I can do this. You go and sit with Mrityunjay," she said. I sighed and reluctantly sat down next to Mrityunjay.

After breakfast, we all sat on the couch talking. What used to seem so normal had become so strange and unknown for me. I was used to being so comfortable with Mrityunjay and now in one second everything had just changed. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and said, "Aunty, uncle, I think that we should go home now. Papa needs some rest." "You're right Taara. Mrityunjay, go and drop them to their house," she said. "No aunty it's ok. We live right there. We can go," I say. "It's ok Taara. Mrityunjay, go." It was next to impossible to win against aunty so I agreed and left with Mrityunjay.

I unlocked the door and Papa went inside. Mrityunjay was still standing outside so I stayed to talk to him. "Mrityunjay, sorry. I couldn't stop Aunty," I said. I knew that he was just as uncomfortable as me. "It's ok. I guess we have to get used to all of this now. After all we are getting married," he replied. "Taara beta," I heard my dad call me from inside. "I should go," he says and turns to leave. After he leaves I lean against the wall and take a deep breath. "You can do this Taara, he's your best friend, nothing's going to change," I say to myself. I hear my father call me once again and I go inside.

It's night now and I'm cleaning up the kitchen when I hear the tune. Papa is sleeping in his room so I head up to the balcony outside my room. This tune is probably the most comforting thing at the moment. It's only thing that can help me relax and sort things out. I open the door and see Mrityunjay on the other side. He looks up and stops playing as soon as I step out. Tears are forming in my eyes. It's too much to handle. Papa's cancer and the fact that's he's going to be leaving me soon and my marriage was Mrityunjay. Nothing was normal in my life any more. My life, which had seemed perfect up until last night, had now shattered into small pieces. I didn't even know what was happening.

I closed the door and lay down on my bed and cried my heart out. A few minutes later, I feel a hand on my shoulder. I wipe the tears away and turn around to see Mrityunjay. "What are you doing her?" I ask standing up. "Come," he says and takes my hand. "But where?" I asked. "Just come," he says and I quietly follow him.

We stop in front of Papa's room. "Why did you bring me here?" I asked. "Taara, right now uncle needs you the most. You have to be with him and you have to be strong. You can't be weak again. Spend all of your time with him and make it special. It's not going to come back Taara," he said. I look at Mrityunjay and then towards my father, sleeping on the bed. I turn back to Mrityunjay and nod.

I walk in the room and sit down on the bed next to my dad. I look out the door and see Mrityunjay standing there. He waves and turns to leave. I smile. Thank God I had Mrityunjay in my life otherwise I would have been a complete disaster.
