A day with him

"I will be returning today evening ." Tara said with a gloomy face and Ronn had noticed her gloomy face since she came after her personal talk with Das .'What did he tell her that made her so sad ?' Ronn thought looking at her face . She avoided his state and continued packing her stuffs . She had slept with his mom last day and Kiran with Ronn . But Tara never spoke a word to Ronn after her meeting with Das . She talked with his mom , he talked with Kiran also she watched TV but even if she sat infront of Ronn all the time she even didn't looked his face . Ronn was getting really worried about her sudden change in the behaviour . He tried talking to her but she didn't even reply .These are the only words she said . It was already 1.00 at the noon and Tara will return back in the evening . Ronn was getting upset so he mustered up his courage and held Tara's arm and turned her towards him and asked "What's wrong with you Tara ? You had been avoiding me since last day .Did I misbehave with you or did I say something bad that hurt your feelings ? Atleast scold me or slap me then I'll feel lot better than this . Please Tara , I am your best friend . We don't hide things ." Ronn said pleading to her .

"Oh ! So you know that we are friends ? SO you know that we don't hide things , and you even know silence hurts . So you know everything but you don't apply it in your life ? Huh!??" Tara shouted back in tears . Ronn 's heart melted with Pain to see her cry.

"W..wha..What did I do Tara ?" Ronn asked hanging his head low .

"I trusted you and told all my feelings all my daily routines and all my life stories and you hid most important feeling you had ? Should I know about your Love story from someone else ? I thought we are best friends and we don't hide anything .But you are a cheat . You didn't even consider me as your friend ." Tara shouted in tears and ran outside the room .Ronn understood what Das discussed with her .Ronn always hid his feelings for Ella from Tara and now she know that .She is angry that she know that from someone else , not Ronn .Ronn Sighed and sat on his bed with a heavy heart . 'I should have told her ' He thought.

Tara was sitting in the guest room with Kiran and Ronn came and sat near her but she suddenly stood up and went to kitchen .Ronn stared at her for a moment or two then followed her . She stood near the kitchen garden then. There were red puffy tomatoes and she rubbed them with her hands . Ronn came and stood beside her and said

"I'm sorry Tara . I didn't meant to hurt your feeling .I was ofcourse planning to tell you once she said an Yes to me .But that didn't happened and I thought I don't want to share about an useless chapter of life with you ."

"Is that even an excuse Ronn?" Tara said without looking at him .

".... No ... I .. I am sorry Tara . from now on I promise I'll share everything with you first .I'll never hide things .Promise .But please talk to me Tara .I can't be happy when you are avoiding me ." Ronn said in a pleading voice .

Tara looked at him .She felt sad to see him standing there with head bowed . She hugged him and said "It's okay .I'll forgive ." Ronn smiled and hugged her back .

"Now atleast show me her photo . Or will I be seeing it from any of your friends ?" Tara said making a face . Ronn smiled .

"I don't keep her photoes , but I'll show you her Instagram . you can check for yourself ."

"What was her name again ? Ella right ?"

"Yeah . Here . this is her ." Ronn handed over his phone to show her Ella's photo . By then Tara went back to her room and was sitting on the bed near her bag . She took the phone from him to see Ella . One look at the photo and she threw his phone to the bed . Ronn stared at her puzzled .

"Stella ..." She mumbled .

"No Tara .. her name is Ella ."

"So then I mis heard it that day . But surely it's her. ... it's Her Ronn .. don't love her . She won't suit you . I will support you if you love any other girl than her . But please don't love her. "

"Tara ... are you alright ? You don't even know about her . Then how can you say all these ?"

"For that first you should know who the bloody hell she is " Tara stood up angrily . Ronn had never heard her speak like that . She don't tell bad about people . But why was she angry to Ella ? and how does she know her ?

Ronn didn't get angry to Tara for telling bad about Ella . Somewhere , he cared Tara more .

"Do you remember who is Karthik ? " Tara asked after a moment's silence . Ronn nodded .

"This girl .. Stella , Ella or whatever , she was disturbing him for ages .She had even once tried to mess with me . Karthik says she's the only girl he hates . She only love money Ronn .Money and looks . She don't care anything else .She can't realise the real love nor does she care . So don't waste your time on her . I bet she dates multiple people at same time , just to get money or gifts . "

"I don't understand ."

"Ella is from Banglore .Do you atleast know that ? "

"Hmm . Now it makes sense ." Ronn said .

"I thought you have better taste . Don't make a fool out of yourself . Is she the girl you are gloomy for ? I will murder you Ronn ." Tara said with a grumpy face . Ronn smiled .

"Now this makes me feel lot better . I am changing Tara . Don't worry . I just need time . I don't want to be in love again ."

"Hmm .but I haven't asked you to not love again . But don't love her again Ronn .That's all I ask ." Ronn nodded .

"Hey , now please don't hide if you are sad . Don't avoid me for her , okAy ? " Tara said .

"Ya . Promise ." Ronn said . Tara hugged him and added "I'll miss you . Hope I meet you again soon Ronn " . Tara turned towards the car and opened the door . Ronn felt something within him is going along with her .

Das too came to wish her bye and Tara waved till her car went so far . Ronn looked at Das then , soon after she left .

"What ? " Das asked .

"Why did you tell her ?"

"I saw how happy you are with her . So I just wanted to make sure she'll always stay by your side. Das said .

"What exactly did you tell her ?"

"Everything . Also asked something which you shouldn't know ."

"What ?"

"You shouldn't know ."

"Stupid . Tell me . " Ronn grabbed Das's collar and looked at him angrily .

"I asked her if she loves you ."

"Whaaaaaattttyy!!!? Just because I stop loving Ella doesn't mean that I should love Tara ."

"I asked about her "

"still ... hmm .. then what did she tell ?"

"You are her world . But she loves you as a bestie . How crazy ."

"I don't feel her crazy Das .You are the crazy one here . "

"Ya well . Then murder me ."

"Huh .. I wish .. " Ronn and Das laughed .
