Meeting!

Tara kept sitting in silence, in her chair while everyone kept speaking out their opinions! Her uncle kept calm and same did his son!

"We never had faced such a situation until now!!" one of the members spoke!

"Whom should we blame Mr.Nethin?" one directly shot the question to Tara's uncle, and looked at her!

Deep looked at his father and he still kept silent until he looked at her!

She sighed, and looked at the one who questioned, "Mr.Slet! Do you actually blame any? I mean you wouldn't be bringing it up unless you had someone targetted in your mind!"

He stiffened, and everyone did so! The woman never spoke much than needed, and now even if she did, she sounded cold, sarcastic!

Another one cleared his voice, "Miss Tara! We don't mean to blame you! But we should consider the whole of things! And....things like this never happened while Mr.Nethin managed everything, we really should....find what's wrong now!"

Tara gave him a nod, "Mr.Nethin, my uncle, had managed everything related to TN since the founder of our company left this world! And I do accept, he managed very well, and I appreciate it!"

She leaned forward, making everyone tensed for her cold aura always managed to send people chills down the spine, "However, you choose to phrase it in a wrong way Mr.Hawk!" she then looked at Slet, "And about you Mr.Slet! There is no need to hide anything! I know, everyone here thinks that the reason behind the unexpected incident is me! Even if you all state it directly or the other way, the thing you want to say is.... nothing bad happened until I took charge of the management! Is it right?!"

Everyone looked at each other, an awkward silence surrounding them!

She sighed looking down at the long table, her hands entwined, "Consider the whole of things?!" she chuckled, "Mr.Hawk! If you really intend to consider the whole of things, then what about the profits that our company gained after I took over the management?"

Hawk halted, while everyone exchanged glances! Tara with a sigh stood up, "I really guess none of the one here missed the press meet, yet I will still mention it once again! EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WAS JUST AN INCIDENT!!" She stressed almost sending shivers down the spines of every individual!

"There is no need to over stretch the issue, while I have already said of taking care of everything!!"

"And coming to your OPINIONS!!"

"I clearly know what you all wish for!! So let me make it clear to you all!"

Placing her hands on the table, she leaned forward, "TN Cosmetics belongs to Tara Nethin, No one can change this fact!! I hope whenever you all are suffering with doubts and uncertainties, you will try using this statement as the medicine to cure yourself, because I won't use any medications, and will choose the other way around!!" She let it out curtly! Deep and his father looked unbothered!

"Are there still any other topics you all want to discuss about??"

Silence carried away!

She nodded, "Then let's call it a day!!"

After a brief moment, exchanging a look with her brother and uncle, she left the room.

"I hope meetings such like this will never repeat in future!!" said Arshad while getting up from his seat, leaving the room as well.

Deep sighed, adjusting his coat as he stood up, "I was brought up by my parent's love and as well as their wisdom. I was always said that business works mainly by trust!!"

He gave a disappointed shook, "It's upsetting to see the lack of trust in our own business!!"

Everyone remained silent, his words hitting them like a thunderbolt.

Deep just left the room, leaving them to their own silence.

Everyone who were left behind just exchanged looks while a person who till now kept silent spoke up! "As we already are here, let's be frank! Everyone here had today wanted to corner the young lady for the incident that happened in spite of everyone's knowledge that it was just an unexpected accident! But I suggest everyone to think twice before pointing fingers on her, everyone here knows how skilled and talented she is, and the efforts she had put in after she took the whole management, that shouldn't be avoided!" he sighed, "Let's just end the discussion right here!" said he standing up, leaving the room!

Mr.Ron always was a dear friend for Nethin Brothers! And so had he always supported them, after losing one of his friend, he always kept supporting his daughter, Tara! Tara was very glad for it, and so was her uncle!

"I agree!! Going against the one like her will never benefit any of us!!" another one joined and left the room!

"I think the same!" another, "Me too!!" one another, and slowly everyone left one by one except two, and those were Hawk and Slet! They looked at each other!

"She inherited her father!!"

Hawk gave him a nod, "She can carry out the same aura that her father used to!"

Slet sighed! "It's going to be difficult!!"

Hawk stood, "It is!!" he said with a sigh before leaving the room! Slet followed.

************

Tara waited for Deep to reach her out and when he did along with his father, she questioned him, "Did you do what I said?"

Deep gave her a nod, "I visited every injured individual, and also had visited those two families! Don't worry, I managed everything!"

She gave him a nod, "Thank you Deep!"

Deep smiled faintly, tapping her head.

Her uncle just looked at her in silence, which she noticed, "Is there anything you are willing to say??"

He gave her a nod, and soon took out a card from his pocket, holding it out!

Tara frowned, taking the card, her fingers caressing the name mentioned!

"What's..... this?"

"I managed to arrange an appointment with a famous psychologist, I think you really need to visit him!"

She raised her eyebrows as she chuckled, "I am even now going to attend a doctor! Great!!"

"It's only for your better sake!!" Deep defended!

"I will.....consider it!!" she assured her uncle but it only lasted for a second as she spoke up again, "But I do doubt him trusting me!!"

"I don't have any expectations, it's just an attempt!" her uncle said!

"Attempt for what?"

"To make you normal!"

She chuckled to have even her uncle think she was abnormal!!

"Do you think this will work?!"

Arshad didn't respond, his gaze unwavering.

Tara sighed, "I said I will consider it!!" she said sliding the card into her pocket. Choosing to leave, however Deep kept following her before he gave a nod to his father. He kept following her until Tara feeling frustrated turned around, confronting him.

"Why are you following me?"

"I always do it!"

"You don't need to now, I need some privacy!!"

"Tara..."

"Please!" it sounded nothing like a plea but an order!

He sighed, "At least let me see you till you get into your car!"

She shook her head, "I...am going by walk!" He frowned, and when he almost attempted to raise his voice in protest, she spoke out! "I...need some privacy!!" she stressed, "DO.NOT.FOLLOW.ME!!"

Just with that, she left, leaving him behind.

Deep stood alone, staring at her back until she was unseen!

A sigh escaped him, no matter how hard he tried, she always had pushed him and his father away.

He knew she wasn't avoiding them, however... there always stood a clear barrier between her, her feelings, and them!!

At first, he tried being calm and kind, and when that didn't work, he became a little much like of her, so that she can listen to him, and when even that didn't work, it meant.... nothing this works!!

************

Tara just kept walking, no matter how hard she tried, to stop herself, she ended up at the hospital, to visit them all in person though Deep already did it! He did it so that no one could blame her while she was actually blaming herself!

She recalled those people's words from the meeting, she chuckled! She didn't even care about them blaming her, for she herself did it, only if they had known what she was going through, they might....blame her the most!!
