"Hahahaha Common Arjun don't be a grandpa, run faster." Naina laughed running while looking back at him

He glared at while trying to catch her," Tara you are Soo going to regret once I catch you." Arjun shouted though there was a not hint of anger in his eyes.

Naina laughed she run faster she turned back but her eyes widened, A vehicle was running in full speed towards Arjun but Arjun didn't noticed it as he was busy running towards her.

"Arjun stoppp , Arjun mooveeee Arjunnnnnnn." She keep shouting but it's like her voice didn't reached him he was running towards with that same smile, and then the screeching of tires.......

"ARJUNNNNNNN." Naina woke up screaming his name , her throat was hurting from the loud scream , she was drenched in her own sweat,

"Naina it's okay it's okay dear." Her mother said cupping her voice.

Naina's eyes drifted towards but as she calmed down and her Sense slowly come back it again become that lifeless pool of brown, she could hear her mother saying something it didn't made sense to her , she didn't wanted to hear anything, she wanted to hide , runaway from the reality where he doesn't exist, but she couldn't and shutting of herself from it was her only option.

Her mother stopped trying once she realized Naina won't response to her , she fall asleep yesterday like that only it's been a whole since she took a morsel of food and her mother was getting worried at this rate she was going to lose her daughter, if she didn't already.

She took the plate of roti and curry and brought a morsel in front of her lips but Naina remained aloof, she sighed she knows this will be hard ,Arjun was a part of Naina which was brutally snatched from her and now filling that part was close to impossible.

"Naina please take a morsel for Arjun , you know how much used to worry for your health do you think he would be in peace seeing you neglecting your self like this." Her mother asked hoping seeing about him would bring out a little bit of response.

She was proved right when Naina eyes drifted to her upon hearing his name she slowly parted her lips and her mother happily feed her but after 4-5 morsel she turned her face , she brought her knees to her chest and hide face in knees.

Her mother left the room , Naina was staring blankly at the wall,

"Tara smile, when you crying you look like a sad panda, with dark circles."

Suddenly she heard his voice in her she raised her head and saw him sitting infront of her smiling his ever charming smile, a smile was about to appear on her lips but the reality didn't let her ," Aljun." As soon as she whispered his name he vanished infront of her, Naina clutched the pendent, his last gift to her

"You know the pleasure I will get by seeing you wearing this nothing compared to any bike."

She closed her eyes to feel him , if she would have got any hint that he won't ever return to her again then she would never let him out her sight , A sound of thunder reached her ears , she got up from her place and slowly went out of her room to the terrace of their house, heavy showers of rain was drenching the city,

Naina slowly stepped into the terrace feeling the heavy rain drenching her , she remembered their last rain together in Mumbai, how happy they both were ,

"You know Arjun , rain always remind me of you , they way rain always brought a smile on my face just like how your presence can lift my mood from deepest gloominess, they way rain always washes away my sorrow, frustration, anger just like how you always manage to make all my sadness to disappear, and the way rain drench me in his heavenly showers just like how you always shower me with love, support, happiness and respect." Naina told him looking into his eyes with a soft smile playing on both of their lips.

No today it didn't because he was not besides her anymore today this same rain tears of pain in her eyes , today it didn't wash away her pain instead intensive it more , no today she didn't feel the heavenly showers, she felt it like a shower of thousands thorn cutting her every inch drawing blood till she felt numb.

"Naina looked at Arjun and a mischief smile appeared ok her face, she gathered some rain water in her hands and splashed it on Arjun face.

Naina laughed loudly looking at Arjun face who stood dumbfounded looking at her," Tara you brat..." Arjun lunged at her , Tara laughed loudly and run from him , but she couldn't escape as Arjun caught her from waist ,he gathered some raindrops in his hand and sprinkled them on her face making her giggle.

"Arjun stop hehehe Arjun leave me." Naina told him between giggles, making Arjun laugh to.

After they both stopped laughing they stood in a peaceful silence watching the rain and feelings the tiny droplets on their face, Naina's head was resting on Arjun's shoulder.

Those memories we're slowly spreading like poison in her every nerve, the more she remembered those memories the more it reminded her that he is not there anymore, that she was living in a world where he doesn't exist, she fall on her knees as tears streamed down face along with the rain.

You taught me to love you Arjun but you didn't taught me how to stop loving you Naina thought as another sobs racked her body,

You....you... promised you will return then why didn't, doesn't Aljun always full his promise to his Tara then...then... how did broke this big promise, what will I do now Arjun....you took my world and soul with you...can a someone live without her soul , then how did thought I could.....how Arjun... Naina thought the pain was becoming unabareble for her,

"Who will call me Tara Arjun...who...Arjun...who...will hug me when I will have nightmare...who will bare my tantrums....who..will... make..me...smile..... who pull in his arms when I will be upset.....WHO ARJUN...."She shouted like a lunatic and ended hiccuping in her own sobs, by now the rain was howling with her anguish....the sky...cried with her....pain...but he didn't heard.

Her mother come running in the terrace and immediately engulfed her in arms , it was unbearable for her to see her daughter like this, as a mother it was her worst torture to see her daughter like this,

Naina cried in her mother arms wanting the pain to stop , wanting to block the reality, wanting to escape from the truth , wanting to change back her decision and want her Arjun back her but she knows no matter what she could not change it that,

There is no one to call her Tara anymore.
