"Good morning Ronn , how was your sleep ?"
Tara asked Ronn who just entered her dressing room while she was combing her hair looking in the table mirror . Ronn just stared at her with amusement . She wore a red turtle necked cotton t-shirt and a black mini skirt which was above her knee length .
"You look so damn hot " Ronn said without taking his eyes from her . He didn't plan to tell that to her face but it accidentally slipped out his mouth . "Huh ?!" Tara turned and looked at him with surprise . Then suddenly Ronn excused himself . "Thanks Ronn ." Tara said smiling . He felt amused she didn't scold him nor felt uncomfortable . She was still standing in the same pose , and applying mascara .
"I am sorry , I didn't meant to say that ." Ronn said scratching his head .
"You didn't say anything bad Ronn . I appreciate your compliments ." Tara said comforting him . Ronn felt shy deep inside .
'Tara will shoo you away if you open your mouth Ronn , just behave yourself ' He said himself . He looked into the mirror standing behind Tara . She was now applying lipstick .
'Will they both kiss today ?' Ronn thought and it made him sad . 'Did they already kissed ?' then another thought struck him . 'should I ask her ? Noo .. she'll slap me .' Endless thoughts flown through his mind .
"Why are you looking me like you met an alien ?" Tara looked reflection of Ronn in mirror and asked .Ronn realised he was so into his thoughts & but still staring at her .
"He can't vipe off your kiss if you apply your lipstick this dark " Ronn said trying to act normal . "Stupid . " Tara said throwing a pillow over him . "Ouch ." He said laughing .
" I haven't kissed him Ronn. I get nervous whenever he come near . Neither did he kissed me . He said he waited for perfect time to propose me , maybe he's waiting for perfect time to kiss ." Tara saud giggling .
"No one wait for perfect time to kiss; Tara , It just happen . It happens accidentally when both of you get so close and .. " Ronn took a deep breath .
"And .... ?" Tara asked curiously .
"How can I explain everything to you ? You are grown up young lady ." Ronn said blushing .
"I am grown up indeed .But I don't know many things Ronn ." Tara said sighing .
"It's okay . You'll learn it automatically .These things can't be taught ." Ronn said without facing her .Deep inside he was sad but he felt happy that she didn't kissed Karthik .
"Where are you going so early ?" Ronn asked .
"Dating Karthik isn't easy Ronn . He takes you everywhere everyday .He always finds a way to make me happy .He buy lots of expensive gifts and give a forehead kiss while saying bye . " Tara said in a single breath .
"He treat you like real princess ." Ronn said smiling .
" Yup . I am indeed lucky Ronn .There are more pretty girls dreaming to be his girlfriend but he chose me !" Tara said blushing .
Ronn Sighed .He sat on sofa and held his face inside his palm so Tara can't see that he's jealous .
"Are you coming Ronn ? I will be back by noon time .Let's go to our park .It's my favourite spot .I can be me there , without any makeup and jewellery " Tara asked .
"Comeback soon Tara .I will be waiting ." Ronn said avoiding eye contact . He was very sad & jealous the same time . He waved her a bye .
She went forward a few steps asking him to wait for her there watching Netflix on TV or scrolling memes or sleeping .She said no one will disturb him there. Suddenly she came back in a hurry .While Ronn was wondering why she came back , She hugged him and laid her face on his shoulders .He felt a sudden nerve and he shivered. "I am so sorry Ronn .I really feel bad for not spending much time with you . But don't think that I am a horrible friend. I really love you Ronn. You are my best friend ." Tara said taking a deep breath . Ronn couldn't figure out what to do next . He hugged her back and simply rubbed her back , comforting her . She hugged him more tightly and then left even without saying bye . Ronn stood there not knowing what just happened . He even forgot how to respond . Tara is the girl whom he love but even she doesn't know that . He suddenly felt scared loosing her . "I will loose her even if I told her about my feelings .Now atleast I have her as my bestie". Ronn said to himself as a matter to comfort himself a bit . Then helplessly watched her walking away to Karthik's home .

PRESENT DAY AT BANGLORE
"So .. That's the story .. You loved Tara .. Tara loved Karthik .. A triangle love story !! Wow .I had no idea you loved her . Atleast you should have let her know . You stayed one side lover in both case ..It's Okay Ronn .I completely understand .I won't disturb you with that proposal again . But if you want , you still have a chance to make one of your one side love story bloom .Only if you want . Tara is no more ..So .." Das was comforting Ronn who was hopelessly sat on his couch explaining his story and Ronn suddenly interrupted Das from between .
"It's not over Das .The story just started here . There a lot more to go . Now at this point , you may feel it's a hopeless pointless triangle love story but I am not done finishing my story yet . " Ronn said with a serious look . Time had made him more serious than ever .
"You scare me Ronn " Das said moving away .
Ronn Sighed . He took deep breaths for few time and cleared his throat
"Can you bring me a glass of water ?" Ronn asked Das .
"Y ..Yeah .." Das said and he went to kitchen .The house was big and beautifully designed . "Poor Ronn . I should have get to know him better .He went through all those alone ." Das said to himself while fetching bottle of water from the fridge . Das know Ronn's charecter well .He either drink hot water or water kept in fridge but never the water in normal temperature . He returned back with the bottle and saw Ronn was sitting staring at the wall and his eyes were teary .
He drank water and took a deep breath .
"I wish the story ended here .. Happy and beautiful .Only I will worry & get jealous for a few more months or years like that and after that it would have just been a sweet story to remember . If it ended like this .. Tara would have been still alive Das ." Ronn said puffing and tears rolled down his cheeks .It was for the first time Das watching him cry . He haven't cried even when he was so humiliated by Ella nor when anything happened but Ronn always cried for Tara . Das hugged him and comforted but Ronn sniffed and puffed and he cried more bitterly . "What exactly is the story then ?" Das asked curiously when he found Ronn stopped crying after a few minutes of deep crying .
"It started with worst twist , of Karthik leaving for a business trip for over two weeks .Why in the hell did he go ? He shouldn't have ... " Ronn's eyes filled with tears again and Das eagerly waited for the next part of story .
