"Hey .. Tara wanna catch up at coffee shop?" Ronn asked Tara who was busy discussing answers of exam .Tara shook her head and said "No". So Ronn went back to Das and they together went to the coffee shop which stood opposite to the school. Ronn and Tara talk daily and they are close friends within a short span of time."So ... are you trying Tara?" asked Das in curiosity .Ronn laughed but said nothing.Das was confused.So he added"She's a nice girl. pretty and intelligent."
"2 Coffee please." Ronn ordered and sat next to Das who was eating cutlet" You didn't replied" Das stared at Ronn's face and tried to read his expression but Ronn's face shown no emotion . "It's difficult to read your mind sometimes.you never reveal your emotions Ronn, are you even an human?" Das said in despair.Ronn grinned.
"Das .. she's not only pretty & Smart , she is kind, sensitive and Intelligent too."
"So .. can I take this as an Yes from your side?" Das spoke with extreme curiosity and thus even didn't swallow his food .
"Are you mad Das? it's nearly 13 years of friendship and you know nothing about me? She's not my type."Ronn carelessly took a bite from his cutlet and simply avoided Das's question . "What you mean by 'not your type' Ronn?" asked Das questioningly. Ronn had already fixed his eyes on Tv so it took time for him to answer. So Das shook him and repeated the same question. "Just chill bro, what's wrong with you?" Ronn annoyingly asked . "So what are you upto?" Das raised his eyebrow and seriously asked Ronn. "Is that all you want to know? Then listen carefully, She will be my special Bestie.Thats all .Don't come up with this lame question again." Ronn just sipped last drop of his coffee and stood up to pay the bill. "Do you think she'll feel nothing for you?" Das asked one final question. "Well , that's not up to me . I can't control her emotions." Ronn replied , paying the bills. Das stood numb watching Ronn crossing the road.

When Ronn returned he saw Tara crying on shoulders of Geeta. Geeta was patting her back and comforting her. Ronn went up to her and asked confusingly "What's wrong Tara ?"
Tara didn't replied , instead she just hid her face in her palm and wept .He saw her blurry eyes and tears rolling down her white cheek which turned little pinkish due to her crying.He felt to rub her tears off her cheeks but he didn't know how she'll react so he stood still."What's wrong ? can someone please tell me?" Ronn helplessly asked. He couldn't see his Angel Tara cry like that . She sobbed like a small kid . so Geeta replied to his question in a low voice " Ankush has been disturbing her this whole year , Today he just grabbed her hand and pulled her closer and proposed in front of his friends . He said he's gonna suicide writing her name if she rejected him and all his friends threatened her .He is our Madam's elder son. She's all worried.She doesn't like him even a bit . But she don't want anyone hurt ." Geeta held Tara closer with her arm and said . Tara still couldn't control her tears . Her cheeks were getting more reddish.
"Oh, that Idiot .. Is he even a trouble? If Tara doesn't like someone , that someone would never disturb her again" Ronn said in a firm voice and took Tara's Palm and put his palm over hers and continued"It's Ronn's promise to dear Tara .So don't ever cry over him again, not just him .. don't cry over anyone . " That made Tara smile a bit .Then he just grabbed her and took her straight infront of Ankush's gang . Geeta followed . Das who was listening to all these followed too. Ankush gave a puzzled look when he saw everyone.Then Ronn spoke , "You know me well Ankush. so don't even bother My Girl again , She doesn't like you and for your information , She's my Girlfriend.I repeat , She's all Mine. So don't even dare come back again .or else you know me ".
Ankush knew no one could defeat Ronn .He already have experience loosing with Ronn manytimes and thus he just held his face low and muttered "I'm sorry . I didn't knew .She could have told .I won't disturb you again Tara. Sorry."
Tara was surprisingly looking Ronn who was still holding her hands and standing firmly. She didn't knew when she turned his Girlfriend. But she liked it a bit. she just didn't replied anything but just nodded an 'its okay' to Ankush. That voice still echoed in Tara's head
"She's all mine ...."
