You Are The Star Tonight

Sumit was following Satarupa silently, after sometime she stopped suddenly.

"He was my first love" Satarupa said in a low voice. She didn"t have the strength to look into his eyes and confess everything so she continued to look towards the mountains.

Sumit was not shocked at all, he knew from the first day that there was some kind of relationship between her and Ryan. He quietly squeezed her hands softly indicating her to continue.

"When I was just sixteen he proposed to me...he was my childhood sweet heart...we were so happy together he told me not to reveal his ident.i.ty to anyone so I never told my friends that I was in a relationship" Satarupa sighed loudly.

"Everything was so beautiful that day but just a single phone call destroyed my every dream.... it practically destroyed me..." Satarupa choked .

Sumit who was listening to all this clenched his fists his heart was aching and when she choked he can"t control himself and hugged her tightly. He patted her back softly as if ensuring her that he will not leave her.

"He called me on my eighteen birthday and...and just said three words... LET"S BREAK UP...and...and he disconnected the call..." the tears she was hiding from the whole world till now just flowed down her eyes lighting the weight on her heart .

"I was so naive that time that I rushed outside ... I tried to find him every possible location but he was no where...I was devastated Sumit... I was broken... I was destroyed" Tara clenched his shirt tightly and started crying. Sumit was also very sad, the thought that his girl had to suffer this much broke his heart.

"I am a girl with a painful past Sumit... I don"t deserve someone so good like you... please leave me and find someone better.... I am sorry Sumit.... I am sorry" Satarupa hugged him more tightly and continued crying.

Sumit can"t believe that the girl in his embrace was telling him to leave her just because she had a painful past...she is too naive.

"I won"t..." Sumit said softly and hold her by her shoulder and made her look into his eyes. Satarupa eyes were red and her whole face was flushed due to the extreme cold weather. Sumit kissed her softly on her forehead and looked into her eyes.

"I won"t leave you Satarupa... I deserve someone like you only... I deserve you".

"You don"t know the full truth Sumit" Satarupa said in a broken voice.

"I don"t want to know...you are my present...and I am yours... so it really doesn"t matters to me what happened to you five years ago... Satarupa I love you...the past you was also mine...the present you are also mine and the future you will be also mine... I can"t think of a life without you..." Sumit confessed truthfully.

"I tried to commit suicide...for him" Satarupa said in a low voice.

Sumit whole body became stiff he can"t believe his ears, he looked at her in disbelief. Satarupa knew that after knowing that she committed suicide for some other guy he would definitely leave her this was the only reason she never told him anything about it but his reaction was totally opposite of what she thought it would be. He pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly as if he was afraid of loosing her.

"Satarupa..." Sumit whispered in her ear softly.

Satarupa"s whole body was shivering she can"t handle this much intimacy all at a once, her heart was beating like crazy every fibre of her body was vibrating with excitement and nervousness. Sumit then pulled her out from his embrace and kissed her pale lips softly, that kiss was a a.s.surance from his side that he love her no matter what. He then took her hand into his and whispered in her ears softly.

"I still love you".

Satarupa was so happy today as her heart"s burden was atlast lessened and he confessed to her. She jumped on him and hugged him tightly.

On the other side Tara was sitting like a rock on the sofa with no facial expressions and before her all the group was sitting and observing her expression. Kian was worried as after the fight she didn"t utter a single word.

Shreya couldn"t see this drama anymore so she got up from her seat and walked beside Tara and tapped her on her shoulder

"Hey Tara speak up please....hey can you hear me....hey...hey" she waved her hand in front of her.

"Ryan is the guy for whom she committed suicide five years ago...and today she fought with me for him only" Tara said with a straight face... typical Tara no expression no emotion.

Tara only opened up completely in front of Kian only, she never let her friends knew about her weak tender side because to them she was the strongest girl who can solve anything anytime.

Shreya sighed and shook her body to make her out of her trails of thoughts. Tara looked at her blankly and said.

"I am fine Shreya... I just need some time to think it"s a big thing for me to digest.... I still can"t forgot that night" Tara said and walked out if the room.

Kian was going to follow her but Shreya stopped him

"She needs some time to think...let her be alone...let her think...she will be alright" Shreya said and sighed.

She was always afraid of this day only when they will find out the guy but this was much more worse than what she expected.

Jaggy was silent for all this time but when she saw Tara leaving the room and Shreya stopping Kian she can"t control anymore.

"I will kill Ryan..." Jaggy stormed outside the room.

Everyone ran behind her, Abhi knew that whenever she is angry she always react dangerously.

Ryan was standing in the balcony staring towards the huge mountains with a sorrowful expression. Suddenly Jaggy grabbed his hand harshly and shouted

"Why are you back again?".

Ryan was startled, her loud voice send chills down his spine.

"I really don"t know what happened five years ago after I left....but I have my reasons to leave" Ryan said with pitiful face.

"Keep your d.a.m.n reasons to yourself only I am not interested to know about them at all" Jaggu shouted again.

Abhi and others reached the spot at that very time, Abhi lift her up from her place and started walking away.

"Leave me alone....Abhi what the h.e.l.l are you doing....Abhi....Abhi..." Jaggy was struggling furiously.

"Satarupa will solve her problems.... don"t create a scene here...Tara needs you go to her...and stop struggling" Abhi was very angry, he just don"t want to increase the problem anymore things were already worse. Jaggy stopped struggling after some time and allowed him to carry her. Ryan and others were standing like statues, everything changed in a blink of eye, everything is a mess again same as five years ago. Satish sighed and left with Shreya, Aisha and Dhruva also left the place leaving the two brothers alone.

Kian looked at Ryan and sighed loudly

"What have you done exactly...huh!" he also left the place to find Tara.

Ryan was standing there all alone small drops of tears fall from his eyes...he sat on the floor and started crying

"What have I done Satto... I destroyed everything.... I destroyed us... I destroyed Everything... Satto please forgive me".

Aisha who was walking on the streets to get some fresh air saw Tara leaning on the railing near the street end. Apparently it was looking like she was going to jump from there, Aisha"s whole body became stiff, no matter how much she hates her she never wanted her to die and that poisoning incident was still young in her heart, she started running towards her.

The whole street was wet as the sun was high and the snow started melting, the temperature have also raised a little, Aisha slipped on the street twice but still she managed to run towards her.

After running for five minutes she stopped and gasped for some air she slowly approached Tara and pulled her towards her .

Tara was a bit startled initially she was thinking something very serious and was in a deep thought when someone forcefully pulled her. When Tara looked at the person she was surprised, Aisha was sweating on that cold day also her whole face was flushed, small drops of tears have covered her red cheeks.

Tara couldn"t understand that why was she behaving like this, so she patted her back softly.

"Aisha..Aisha...What happened to you?" Tara asked in a concerned tone.

No matter what she have done to her for Tara she was still her friend.

"I am sorry.... I am sorry Tara... I am sorry" Aisha sat on the street and started crying.

"Tara.... I can"t believe that I tried to harm you... you was poisoned....you was poisoned by us...but believe me Tara Mom told me that it will just give you some right teaching... I never thought that she would have mixed something so dangerous in it...Tara I never wanted to kill you... please believe me" Aisha was crying non stop.

Tara can"t believe that she confessed her crime just like this she had planned so many things to made her confess but she just confessed her crime herself. Tara was trying hard to make her mind clear but everything was messy, her sudden confession have made Tara weak.

"Aisha...get up its cold there...get up" Tara hold her hand and helped her getting up both of them then sat on the bench nearby.

"Tara... I am the culprit behind your poisoning incident... please punish me .... whatever you will say I will do... I am really sorry... I can"t believe that I had became such a person... I tried to harm you...Tara... I finished everything...our friendship, your trust, our group... everything" Aisha was crying holding her hands tightly.

"Aisha...just for a guy you decided to harm me...was our friendship this much shallow..." Tara asked with teary eyes.

"No...no...no... I was brainwashed Tara.. Dhruva and his mom made me believe that you are a cheap woman who seduced people of your company to climb up the ladder...and...and" Aisha choked.

"And you believed that?" Tara said with a sad voice.

"..."

"Aisha you know me from my teenage...how can you believe something like that"

"I love him a lot so...so"

"Okay I understand...but do you want me to believe your confession 100%" Tara asked in a low voice.

"No...just give me a chance to prove myself... I will prove to you that I am again the same Aisha who was standing beside you in the operating theatre five years ago giving you strength and I will leave Dhruva today only of you say me so" Aisha said in a determined voice.

"Okay...but this is your last chance and you don"t have to leave anyone...and one thing is clear he was just your crush Aisha you never loved him...so go and find your soulmate...and one more thing Aisha Dhruva is a corrupted person I came to know about his wrong doing few days earlier only so I wanted to take revenge from him and his family...so can you help me in that..." Tara said and hugged her tightly both the friends cried their hearts out in each other embrace.

"I will... I will" Aisha said and again hugged her.
