A look of awe in both their faces. Both of them continued to dig for the next two hours and retrieved 24 gold biscuits in total. "Vyaas what is this? Why would the owner be hiding it here? And not keep it at home in a safe?". "This must be illegally earned no other explanation. Vansh after all that they have done to you guys, this is a chance for us to give back". She kept quiet not talking. Did what Vyaas say make sense? Would this teach them a lesson and would they change? She didn't find answers. "....tell me how many families work at the estate..?" She was lost in thoughts when Vyaas shook her. "Hey you, how many families work here?". "Hm without us 19. If you consider both of us separate then its 21, else 20". "So 20 it is" he concluded.
His mind was racing fast. "Vansh, hear me out. We're gonna take 20 of these from here. You. For tonight. While you walk back home, I am going to set this area right and put everything back in place. I have a feeling these guys may not be checking this quite frequently cause it takes a long time to dig and settle, plus itd cause suspicion. This week, I am going to distribute these to each of the families explaining it to them. On Sunday, Tara you and I are leaving this place. All you have to do is grab Tara on Sunday morning, catch the 915 train to Central. It is the sixth stop from the start. Take a round ticket to the last stop and back so no one can trace you. Can you?".
She wanted to say no. She wanted to say she couldnt leave behind the land that soothed her when she was troubled, the land that fed her. But Tara deserved better, and she had started almost a life with Vyaas in her dreams. She looked at her man in the eye. He didn't falter one bit, he was clear. His eyes reflected truth and sincerity, his words reflected trust. "Yes".
