Anamika pricked her finger with the thorn of the rose unintentionally when she was deep in her thoughts.
She was thinking of the the time when everything was fine.
When Sukanya was still her best friend whom she used to share her secrets with she was not just her friend but more like sister.
But Anamika could never forgive her.
She betrayed her she broke her trust.
Not just her but Arjun's as well.
Anamika could see the pain in his eyes which he tried to hide from everyone.
She tried to make her place in his heart but his constant behavior was hurting her.
Whenever she was stressed she use to go to a place which was her peace.
Only few people new about it.
She went inside a room. It was very large she stood near a frame which was covered by a cloth.
She pulled the cloth and saw a beautiful painting of her parents.
The whole room was filled with many portraits.
Every piece held a story.
It was her only source to express her emotions.
She roamed around and came near a portrait which was incomplete.
She was looking at the painting very carefully she was not being able to point out where she was lacking.
Many crumbled papers were near the painting.
Indicating her constant failure.
But she was too stubborn to accept her failure.
"Aisa pehli baar ho rha hai ki hume koi Chitra bana ne mei itni baar asafalta mile ho"
"Pr hm bhi ab ye Pura kr k hi rahenge"
She again started her painting.
She closed her eyes trying to remember the face and her hands started working on it.
She was engrossed in her work that she didn't notice the time.
The painting was still not fully complete before she could start again she heard a knock on the door.
She cleaned the mess she created then opened the door.
The maid bowed her head and said
"Kuwar ranisa aapko Ranisa bula rhi hai"
[Kuwar ranisa, Ranisa has called you]
"Aap jaye hm thore der mei a rahey"
[I am coming in few mins you can leave]
After few minutes she went to the room and knocked the door.
She was called inside.
When Anamika entered she saw the room was very beautifully decorated she was sitting in leisurely two maids were drying and styling her long and beautiful hair.
She signals the maids to leave her alone.
They bowed and left.
"Aaye Anamika yha baithye" she asked her pointing near her.
[Please come and sit here Anamika]
Anamika came and sat near her.
"Aapne hume bulaya tha?" Anamika asked.
[You called for me?]
"Haa hume aapse kuch baat krni thi"
[Yes I wanted to discuss something with you]
"Ji kahiye masa"
[Yes masa?]
Ranisa took her hands and asked her
"Aapke aur Arjun k beech sab kaisa chal rha"
[How is everything between you and Arjun?]
"Sab thik hai masa" she replied not meeting her eyes
[Everything is fine masa]
"Aap hume masa keh rahi aur humse hi Sach chupa rahi?"
[You are calling me masa still you are hiding truth from me?]
"Aisa kuch nhi hai masa hm bs...."
[It's not true masa it's....]
"Beta hume pta hai aap log ki kis parasthithi mei vivah hua tha"
[Beta I know what was the situation when you both got married]
"Aap dono ko thora samay lagega apne ateet se ubharne mei"
[It will take time for both of you to get over from your past]
"Pr agar aaplog koshish hi nhi karenge to sab thik hone ka jagha aur bigar jayega"
[But if you both won't try then instead of solving the problem it will get even more complicated]
"Ji masa hm apni taraf se puri koshish karenge"
[Masa we will try our best]
"Aisa bilkul mt samajye ga ki ye sirf hm aapko keh rahey hm ye baat dono ko keh rahey"
[Don't think that this words are just for you because I am speaking to both of you]
Then she lifted her head to see Arjun was standing near her.
Their gaze met for a second.
"Masa agli baar hm aapko shikayat ka mauka nhi dengay " Arjun said
[Masa we won't repeat it next time]
" Aur haa Anamika aapko agar Arjun kisie bhi prakar se pareshan kiye aapko hm Puri anumati dete hai inhe dandit krne ka"
[And Anamika if Arjun ever tries to trouble you, I am giving you the right to punish him]
"Masa aapko lagta hai hm kisie ko pareshan bhi kr saktey hai?" Arjun asked making a sad face.
[Masa how can you ever think that I would trouble her?]
He was looking innocent at the moment.
Anamika's heart melted at the sight.
"Aap hume mana nhi sakte aise shkl bana k hm aapki ma hai aapko bohot acche se jante hai"
[You can't melt me with those faces, I am your mother and I know you very well]
Anamika was smiling at them.
She saw this side of Arjun for the first time.
He was carefree with her.
He was a different personality infront of her mother which she never noticed before.
