Kian stopped the car in-between the route and signaled Sid"s car to go ahead and not wait for them. Tara was startled she thought that maybe there is some problem with the car but when he signaled the other car to go ahead she looked at him with questioning eyes."What happened suddenly?" Tara asked in an irritated tone, she really wanted to visit Polen now.
"Are you okay?" Kian asked in low voice.
"Of course nothing happened to me...she was the only one hurt" Tara ceased her brows tightly.
"I am not talking about cuts and bruises I am asking about your heart...I know it was hard for you...so don"t just trap your emotions under your cold veil atleast tell me when you can"t handle the pain anymore..."
"You are not some superhero...you are allowed to cry when you are hurt don"t behave like a heartless fool..." Kian said and cupped her face in his palms.
Tara was trying hard to suppress her emotions but when was she able to do it before this particular person. Her heart was paining like h.e.l.l each and every part of her body was trembling but she composed herself...same way she used to do in the past but then no one used to ask her how she was....no one cared, everyone was busy with their own problems that they never noticed her suppressing everything inside her.
She looked at Kian with sorrowful eyes
"I was so scared...the bus. .h.i.t her before me...just before my eyes...but you know that I can"t cry at that time my brother needed me..." Tara said in a trembling voice.
"Tara... don"t try to hide your real self from everyone...the more you will endure pain the more will people burden you with their pain also... sometimes letting things go won"t make you lose anything" Kian said and caressed her delicate pale face.
"I know...but before you no one asked me actually how am I...or is it painful or am I okay or not...no one cared...no one" A single drop of tear fall down from her brown eyes...then the next one...then the next.
" I used to cry too but no one consoled me...no, I never allowed anyone to console me... I hate pity...I am a strong woman who can endure anything...I Am Strong" Tara was now crying uncontrollably.
"You are the strongest woman in the whole world... except you no one would dare to utter a single word before your grandfather but see you solved the problem so meticulously" Kian patted her back softly.
"I love my grandpa a lot...but I can"t see my bro suffer again...bro don"t deserve this, but you are wrong...the problems have just started...it was just the trailer of the upcoming Strom....my grandpa is not that easy person..." Tara said and hugged him more tightly.
"But you are also not that easy girl...after all you are my girl" Kian said in a cheeky tone, he just can"t see his Sunshine cry anymore.
"Huh! so cheesy..." Tara pouted slightly.
Kian smiled at her childish behavior and cleaned her messy face with a wet tissue and then they both started the car and left towards the hospital. Kian was satisfied as his Sunshine was ready to face the upcoming storm with a light heart.
AT THE HOSPITAL
Sid and Sourav ran towards the VIP ward where their uncle and brother were already present. Sid went forward and hugged Mr.Ray tightly, he was his safe shelter or maybe his only shelter where he can also behave like a child who needed support to stand.
"She is recovering well now...her blood was quite common so we found it very early and now she is unconscious but better than before" Mr.Ray said in a soft tone.
"Thank you Pa...thank you...thank you so much" Sid was repeating the same words continuously.
"You want to see her..." Mr.Ray said in a low voice.
"No...I don"t have the courage to stand before her...no... I can"t face her" Sid said and left the place in hurried steps, he was really happy to hear that she was okay, the last few hours were like h.e.l.l for him but now he was satisfied as she was recovering well but still he doesn"t have the courage to face her fragile figure because he was the one who was responsible for her condition right now.
Second bro saw him leaving so he also followed him. After reaching downstairs he grabbed Sid"s hand suddenly
"We need to talk bro".
Both the brothers then sat on a bench near the hospital.
"Bro...she needs you right now... don"t abandon her for your unnecessary guilt feeling" Sumit said in a gentle voice.
"Believe me Sumit... I don"t have the courage to face her right now..." Sid said in a broken voice.
"Then you have to gain courage for her... don"t be a escapist...you are the person who bound us together no matter what now how can you broke down yourself...bro she needs you..."
"Tara have done a lot for you... I guess you know that right... now it"s time to pay her back by saving her sister Polen...you know she really likes her" Sumit knew that Tara was the only sensitive point of his brother and mentioning her will definitely help.
"She acted very brave today...but I know she is completely broken from inside...but without her today I may have really lost Polen forever..." Sid said and stood up from his place.
"Now I have to be strong also... I have to be strong for Polen and for Tara...her bro can"t lose this easily" Sid said and walked towards the hospital entrance.
Sumit was sitting there silently gazing towards the hospital entrance only one thought was disturbing him that who will make his sister"s heart beat like a normal person but little did he knew that his sister already got that person in her life and he was already started to melt her cold heart down.
