You Wouldn't Let Me!!

"But answer my one question before you embrace your death!"

"In case, if you meet your husband up there, will he welcome you?! Can you even face him as the mother who chose to die making her child an orphan just like her?! Cause I'm gonna make sure your child lives!" Tara challenged.

While Aryan was mused, Rita was shattered all over again by that triggering question! She was dying cause she thought she was not a good mother, but which good mother will leave her son alone making him an orphan?! Even after knowing how living like an orphan feels like?! But her son.....

She turned back to face them now, especially the lady who is on sick leave, yet had chose to come here, with that cane!! "Will he live?!"

Tara and even Aryan could hear the trust and hope in her voice though she asked doubted!

"Do not worry! He will not die!" assured Aryan.

Tara looked at the lady who was still standing on the railing not knowing it can take a second to lose all her just blooming hope along with her life! "A step ahead, you have your life with your child and a step back, you have your death and regret! You are on your own to choose one!" she said and turned back to leave! With the same cane, she helped herself out and leaned against the wall, waiting for the lady to decide, while Aryan was surprised at the behaviour of hers, but bringing himself out of halt, he reached Rita who now seemed heartbroken, he offered her a hand! She looked down at him and then his hand, without hesitating, she handed her hand in his and the man gently helped her down! Rita felt her shoulders lifting off a burden as she stepped on the ground, the chilling wind not hitting her face that hard anymore! He helped her out and saw Tara waiting for them! So confident that the lady would choose life over death! He smiled faintly, her question still seemed to have more than he thought!

Tara looked at them both, now pulling herself up, "Company's car is waiting for you! Don't think much, just go home and rest!!"

Rita said nothing while giving her a simple nod, she didn't even know what to speak anymore, and Tara could understand her! Tara watched the lady now making her way to the the elevator and soon she left, leaving them both behind!

Once she left, Tara looked at Aryan, who now looked back at her as well!

"Carry me!"

Aryan just stared her in silence for a moment before he reached and lifted her up gently, Tara's left hand rested on his left shoulder while her right hand still held the cane! He carried her down in silence while she just observed him, a smile crept over her face, well why was he so silent?!

He stood before the car and finally looking down her, she frowned, and then realising, she opened the car door, and then he looked away from her again! Placing her down, the seat gently, he even had her wear the seatbelt, and got into the car, by now, Rita would have already headed to her home, he just hoped the lady was fine!

As he now drived in silence, she still kept observing him, but then she started looking around finding for....and before even she could ask it, he handed her the water bottle, still looking ahead!

So he was noticing!

She just took it and had some water!

After staring him for a while more she couldn't take it anymore! "Are you angry?!" she asked softly placing down the water bottle!

Aryan was silent for a brief moment, before he spoke, "I wanted to slap you!"

She was almost taken aback, and a chuckle escaped, she looked at him, "Why didn't you?"

"You are daring I know!!" she added!

He just sighed, "Your words....after listening you, I couldn't bring myself up to do it!"

She nodded then looked away.

"You were wise!" he breathed!

"I always am!" she corrected!

She took a deep breath, "Actually....that was how I used to stop myself!"

He halted, she continued, "Sitting in the bath tub with a knife in hand, standing on the railing for hours, often getting paused for nothing, everytime, I end up questioning the same thing to bring myself back to sanity!!"

"I just hoped that the question could bring her sanity back as well!"

Aryan just felt the silence swirling inside him, what did she just say, she even tried?!

She sighed, "My parents would have never wanted to see me die for nothing right!"

Aryan drove to her home in silence and she maintained it as well, once they arrived, he looked at her, "Remember to keep yourself your priority!"

She looked at him, a frown taking over her!

"To save someone you need live first Tara!!"

She smiled, and said nothing, he just stared her for a bit more before he got out of car, and lifted her up the seat into his arms gently though she didn't say it this time! She now rested both her hands around his neck and looked at him, her smile which wasn't hidden anymore! He looked down her for a second, before he made his way into her room, he could sense she was still watching him, a smile crept over his face as well, which he made sure to hide! After he lay her on her bed, he took a seat beside her taking the medical box from the desk beside the bed, she frowned, he took out a few medicines and then poured some water in the glass from the jar on the table, and looked up at her, "Have it!" he held both his hands out!

"I don't..."

"You caught a fever!"

In disbelief her hand flew to check her temperature and well, her body was burning! Why didn't she notice it? She just sat up, and followed him! As she just followed he smiled, "Is your leg paining?"

She just gave him a nod, "Do not walk for a while!" he said and she gave him a nod again!

"I will go have a shower, and you just take rest! Okay?"

She nodded again, almost like a kid! He smiled, getting out of her room! And when he returned to check on her after getting fresh, he was taken aback when he found the room empty! He searched for her in the kitchen, living room, and in all the other rooms until he got up to the stairs reaching the balcony! He found her standing on the railing not minding her hurt leg, oh what was she upto now?!

"Tara?!" he called her softly from behind! She smiled which he couldn't see, she suddenly threw the cane away on the ground, taking a deep breath, closing her eyes, she opened her arms as if embracing the environment, he frowned and just a matter of second, she fell back, his eyes widened, his senses heightened, and he rushed to her, Tara fell down into his arms, her hands still open, she chuckled! He sighed in relief, "What are you mad?! You would have..."

"You wouldn't let me!!" she chuckled cutting him off!

He was taken aback for a moment, but with a shook he lifted her up again, which now seemed like his daily workout, swirling her he turned, her hands again rested around his neck, her head now resting on his chest, her eyes still closed as she inhaled his scent!

He frowned, why was she.....

Is she still the same person who said of heightening her walls?!

"I said you not to walk!" he complaints while getting down the stairs slowly! She said nothing until he brought into her room again! It was already night, yet she isn't resting! What was wrong with her?! Did the incident affected her in any way?

"Why did you get out of your room?" he asked!

She finally opened her eyes to look at him, "I wanted to!"

He sighed, this lady, "Just rest!"

"What relation do you think I have with Rita?!" she asked ignorant to his statement!
