"Why are you so shocked, my dear—"
"Don't you dare utter that name from that mouth of yours!" Tara shouted in anger and frustration, but the man stayed calm & composed as if nothing happened.
Looking at his smiling face Tara turned more agitated than she already was, "Have you lost your mind? How could you do something so stupid?!"
She just turned and walked towards the door to open it and leave the room, but before she could even touch the knob a hand pulled her back harshly.
She was collided with the hard chest of the man and fall onto him. A pair of hands hold her protectively by the waist.
Shocked by the sudden pull she failed to react for some moment, but then she tried to push him away from her, "Love, stop now —"
"Just leave me," She grit her teeth while struggling to free herself from his embrace. But the arms tightened around her more, "Can't you see that I'm losing my mind? Can't you feel my pain for at least once?"
Tara stopped struggling as she heard those words, and stared up to look in his eyes which were filled with so many emotions.
So many memories flashed in front of her eyes which made her eyes softened & heart ache a little for the man after so long.
She opened her mouth to say something, but before anything slip out of her lips she remembered a scene.
The moment, that she want to erase from her memory once again returned.
Again her eyes & heart hardened, she noticed that the arms had loosened up a little, and not wasting any moment she just pushed him with all her might.
Suhas was too busy in studying the emotions and expressions on her face, he failed to notice when his arms loosened, with the sudden push he lost his balance and fell onto the floor with a thud.
"It's not my duty nor responsibility to feel your pain, or grief, don't you dare touch me again, Mr. Maheshwari!" She threw him a disgusted look and warned.
A mocking smile appeared on his face, "Huh, you are feeling disgusted with my touch? But you don't cringe when Kartick—"
"Mr. Suhas Maheshwari, for your general knowledge in case if you've forgotten, Kartick is my boyfriend and also my to be fiancee. He has every right on me." Tara spat the words onto his face mercilessly before turning around.
Suhas felt enraged just by the word fiancee, he stood up and gripped her wrist before pushing her on the wall behind her, caging her in between his arms, he stared at her.
"Tell me, do you really love him?" The question slipped out with so much hatred.
She hissed with the sharp pain in her back, "That's none of your business."
"Tara, can't we elope?" The next question made her eyes widened, she just looked at the man with an unfathomable look, "We can start everything a fresh in some other country, far away from all these...!!"
The girl pulled her hand up and put her palm on his forehead in a manner of checking his temperature, "Your temperature is normal, but!! Are you drunk??" She asked the question innocently.
"Haaahaaahh!!!"
Then suddenly laughed out loudly, "Huuh, Suhas Maheshwari wants to elope?! I can't believe, oh my my!!"
"Mr. Maheshwari, thank you for your offer, but I'm not interested." She clutched the collar of his white shirt with two of her hands, "Listen to me very carefully, there's nothing can happen between us ever, whatever it was in between us had ended an year ago.
Don't try to play with my sister's feelings, you know very well how important you are for her. Don't break her heart, or this time you'll not forgiven, understand? You better understand!!"
With the threat cum warning, she pushed him away and walked towards the door before turning it and leaving the room and the man behind.
...
Inside the theatre Shanaya & Kartick was lost in the movie when their phones vibrated together. They opened the incoming message which was from Tara, "Guys, I'm not feeling well, and I've flight in three hours also. So, I'm leaving for home, please don't spoil your fun for me and enjoy yourselves. Love you, see yaa."
The two looked at each other to confirm if they got the same message. "I just forgot about her flight, I want to accompany her to the airport—"
"Mee too!!"
While the two were thinking about what they should do, Suhas entered inside with a nonchalant look on his face. "What happened? What are you thinking, and where's Tara?" He asked them with feign innocence.
"She just left with this text..." Shanaya showed him the message, a frown appeared on his face as he read the message.
"I think I should leave, I'll send her off. You two enjoy yourselves." Kartick suggested them before standing up to leave.
Shanaya felt a little conflicted, she wanted to spend her time with Suhas but also wanted to send her sister off, after thinking about it for awhile she chose the second option, "Suhas, can we leave? I also want to see her off."
Suhas stared at her face for a moment, he felt relieved listening the suggestion, he also wanted to leave as soon as possible. He just nod curtly and the girl jumped off in happiness and hugged him, "Let's go."
Three of them didn't waited anymore and left together to the way to Singhania Mansion.
