Mayank's changed behavior

It's been two months since Tara is at home resting. Mayank is taking a good care of her. Tara is also surprised because all member of Goenka's are taking a good care of her except Sushila.

Tara was happy that everyone is taking a good care of her. Everyone is treating her like a member of their family. She is happy but didn't let anyone seen it. She is now keeping her emotions and expressions to herself only.

Everything in Goenka Villa was going normal even more better than other days. Everyone is happy with whatever things are going on. But they don't know that a big storm is coming in their life. Which is going to destroy their happiness, their family and everything they have.

It was morning everyone was on dining table having their breakfast peacefully. When Mayank entered holding Tara by her side. He made her sit on chair and serve her breakfast in her plate.

Seeing this scene in front of them Naira and Kartik smile at each other secretly. Manish too looked at Kartik in teasing way.

And sign him to look at Mayank's action. Shubham was enjoying and pressing his laugh watching both the couples.

Swarna who was observing all this smile a little. It's not like she doesn't care for her son she do. But she has suffered a lot.

She is happy to see her children happy. But her gaze fell at Sushila who was looking angry due to the closeness of her grandchildren.

Her smile faded as soon as she saw Sushila.

' What mom is thinking? No I can't let her destroy my Mayank's happiness again.' Swarna thought in her mind. Manish shake her a little when he saw her loss somewhere.

' What happened?' Manish sigh her with his eyes. Swarna nodded as 'nothing.' She again dig in her food. Mayank was time to time glancing at Tara. She was eating small bits munching her food slowly.

He took half of roti and put in her plate. She looked at him. But he sigh her to finish it too. Sighing a little she start to eat it as she know that Mayank won't listen to her. The hall was filled with silence only the sound of spoons and plates was roaming in the hall.

" I was thinking if Mayank and Tara should go for a vacation." Manish said and his voice roam in hall. Everyone shifted his attention towards him. Tara was about to sat something.

" There is no need of it." Sushila said glaring at him with anger.

" There is mom, Tara's health is not good so for a little change they should go somewhere." Manish replied to her calmly.

" And Kartik and  Naira should also go for their honeymoon." Manish said and smile teasing Kartik. Kartik blushed a little and looked down.

" Actually dad I'm a bit busy with my work, I took a long leave for my wedding so I have to complete my pending work." Naira answered to him.

" It's OK dad we will plan whenever Naira will be free and I also have to handle everything in absence of Bhai." Kartik said. Mayank looked at Kartik, it's first time he felt a unknown pleasant emotion when Kartik address him as a brother.

He was looking at Kartik who was smiling. Kartik felt a gaze on him.

He looked at the gaze and saw Mayank looking at him with a tear in his left eyes. Kartik sign him to wipe his tear and nodded his head as no indicating him not to cry.

" I'm done." Tara said and went towards her room without looking at anyone. Mayank sigh but Shubham put his hand on Mayank's shoulder.

" It's OK I deserve it." Saying this he got up and without finishing his breakfast he went into his room.

Mayank entered in his room only to find Tara sitting on bed with her head hang down. He went towards his table and open the drawer. He take out a box filled with medicines and filled a glass with water.

Sitting beside Tara he put medicine in her hand. She took the glass and gulp all medicines one by one. Mayank was in cold expression. He remember how she used to make weird faces when she used to take medicine.

" Should we go out for a walk or maybe a ride? Or we can get your favourite ice cream?" Mayank tried his best to talk with her. But Tara just nodded her head denying and laid down on bed to sleep again. He cover her with duvet and went out.

He was going out when he heard a voice calling his name.

" Mayank!!" He looked back only to find Manish, Kartik and Shubham standing folding their arms crossing over their chest.

" Yes Goenka Sir." This is what Mayank used to call Manish from their marriage time. He never address him as his father neither his step father. He was not very close to Manish neither they try to come close to each other.

" We need to talk." Manish voice was stern and strict. He start to walk Turning back. Mayank too follow him. Everyone went inside a room.

" I want to talk about you and Tara." Manish said.

" Tara is a very pure soul. I'm glad that you start to care for her. First when you used to behave like that with Tara. I was upset with it. But mentioning that I had no right to ask you, scold you so I stay quiet." Manish looked at Kartik. Who was standing at a distance from them.

" Kartik got married to Naira in same way but he accepted it and took care of her first as a friend then as a husband." Manish smiled at him.

" Sir I realized my mistake and now I want to make everything fine. She is my life, I can't live with out her." The scene came infront of  Mayank came when she was unconscious fell on bed struggling for her life.

" Mayank you should take her with you for a small vacation. She will feel better for sure." Manish put his hand on Mayank's shoulder. Both smiled at each other.

Manish took a step back and was about to go but Mayank held his hand. Kartik, Shubham and Manish all were shocked.

" Now what new drama he is doing." Shubham whisper to Kartik. But in return he got a angry glare from Kartik.

" I don't know whether I'm wrong or right but I want to cherish our relation too Goenka Sir." Mayank's voice indicates that he was hell nervous. But still gathering his courage he said it out to Manish.

" Dad or papa call me that." As soon as this words came out from Manish mouth Mayank hug him tightly. Tears escape from his eyes. After he lost his father. He never feel this secure and safe.

" Do you forget is dad?" Shubham whine and complaint. Mayank smile through his tears and extend his hand. Both Shubham and Kartik looked at eachother and ran towards him and got a group hug tightly.

Swarna was looking at them through window. She is happy.

" Are you happy now?" She looked back to find Naira standing infront of her.

" Naira............ thank you child for all this. My children are finally together." Tears were visible in her eyes. Naira smile and hugged her.

" And about Tara?" Swarna broke the hug and looked at her furrowing. She looked down.

" She will forgive you Ma. Don't worry." Naira assure her.

" But I trouble her a lot Naira. She won't forgive me. She still didn't forgive Mayank when he is doing everything for her." Swarna was feeling guilty. She know she did much worst to her. Her own daughter in law.

" She will, I know her from a very short period of time but what I have learn is that she is a good person. She will forgive you but she needs time for it." Naira assure her. Listening to her Swarna just nodded her head.

" Acha take care of Tara." Manish said but Swarna slap his shoulder lightly.

" Also don't forget to take care of yourself too." Swarna added. Except Surekha and Sushila everyone was present there to see off Mayank and Tara.

Tara just smile slightly and bidding the last good bye both sat in chair and went.

' She didn't even ask where we are going.' Mayank sigh and thought in his mind.

' But you will be full of happiness after knowing the destination.' Mayank thought and smile looking at Tara who was looking outside.
