Mrityunjay saw his sketches in her hand and snatched them.
"Mrityunjay!" she exclaimed with anger.
"Still you don't want to say anything?"
He moved from there and was about to leave the room but Tara blocked his way.
"Mrityunjay, today you can't go without answering my questions."
Tara was not in a mood to let Mrityunjay go without speaking.
"I don't have time"
he replied rudely and took a cigarette from the table and lifted it.
"What are these sketches Mrityunjay? Why did you sketch me? Don't you have any feelings for me?"
"No I don't." he replied moving her from his way.
"You can't lie to me Mrityunjay. You fear to lose me."
He stopped hearing this.
"Mrityunjay, life is to be lived by loving your loved ones not by fear of losing them. I want to live this life with you Mrityunjay."
Her voice was cracking while she was speaking. "Mri..tyun..jay...".
"Tara, please leave this room. I don't want to talk right now."
He kept her spectacles and hair stick on the table.
"I don't want to keep your belongings with me, take them."
He said without looking at her.
"I am going now Mrityunjay, but remember one thing I will wait for you till the end of my life. Don't make my wait forever. Listen to your heart Mrityunjay. Don't be late in listening to it otherwise it's possible that when you realize I may not be here with you and that would become your lifelong regret."
She left the room crying.
Mrityunjay closed his door and sat near it crying.
"Why do you understand me so well Tara? Why? I am cursed Tara, not meant for you to be loved. I fear to lose you ...because I love you. Don't love me so much Tara. I am the darkness which spreads in lives of those whose life I enter. You are the light Tara and I don't want the light in your life to ever get dim."
He cried till he fell asleep crying.
In their room, Tara was crying standing near the balcony.
"I will wait for you Mrityunjay."
Mumbai: Mrityunjay ...What is this??? How you can do this to Tara...You fool. Poor Tara ...why do you love him so much ...when he is acting so stubborn? Oh...It's so painful to love a person who is neglecting you. Today I think this song is perfect for Tara.
~Yeh kasoor mera hai ki yaqeen kiya hai
Dil teri hi khatir rakh chhod diya hai
Tu hi sabse qareeb hai mere
Tu hi mera naseeb hai ab
ye mehsoos kiya hai~
--------------------
Next morning Tara was packing her bag for a two day trip out of town where a competition was held for students. When she was packing, her hands got Mrityunjay's cigarette case which she took from him as a gift while leaving Nainital.
"If this is your happiness, then I will give you that."
She said taking the cigarette case in her hand.
Mrityunjay was having breakfast with Dadaji. She too joined them. Dadaji sensed there was some tension between them but didn't say a word thinking,
"It's a husband wife matter, I should not interfere in it."
While leaving for college, Tara took blessings from Dadaji,
"I will return after two days Dadaji, and I think by then I will get what is mine." She said this looking at Mrityunjay.
Mrityunjay took Tara to the college.
Before getting down, she returned his cigarette case to him.
"If your happiness lies in this then take this. My happiness lies in yours."
Saying this Tara got down with teary eyes.
Nainital: Mumbai...What is this? How can he act like this? Tara is going away for two days...or forever...
