Story Unfolds :
At Kalinga:
Supriya had given access to all kind of luxury of the world. But she had not given her due recognition. As the Princess of Kalinga. The King was still reluctant to admit her as his own daughter. It was not a case that he did not love her. But he felt guilty of his own mistake. He felt that he should not be indulged with Malini and he should not bring Supriya in this dirty world. He wanted to hug her and kiss her forehead. But he was scared that his masses would revolt against him. Only his brother Bichitrangad and loyal Minister Agnimitra knew about the true identity of Supriya. As the daughter of the King. Supriya was known to all as the main Maid of her own sister Bhanumati. What an irony of fate indeed!!! A Princess turned into a Maid!! Fate had written endless agony for her since beginning!!!
In the meantime both the Princesses were growing up. Bhanumati was now becoming a fierce woman while Supriya a timid and shy natured girl.
One day, a mishap happened with them both that brought them close. Forever. It happened after the tiger incident and Karna Supriya first meeting.
A girl was roaming in her balcony absentmindedly when she stood dead at her track to hear some whisperings about someone. She concentrated to hear the conversation. She heard like this. Two girls were laughing aloud and mocking a crying girl. One was wearing a yellow lehenga with blue dupatta and another a pink one with white. They both were maids of the royal family. A baby girl was crying inconsolably whose hands were dirty and full of bruises. She was making an idol of her deity in her own mind, when she had been pushed by these two girls and hurt at her elbows.
"Are issne toh apni mata ko hi janam lete hi kha liya!!! Isska toh jiban hi narak hain. (This girl had killed her own mother at birth. Her own life is doomed since birth.)"
"Ha ha. Vish Kanya hain yeah. Vish Kanya. Sab ko das legi. (Yes yes. She is a vile snake like girl. She will kill all by herself.)"
"Up logo ne mere Murti kyun tod di!! Maine kitna pratyatna karke isse banayi thi!! (Why you break my clay idol!! I nested so much time and effort on it!!)" The baby girl had cited it in between her sobs.
"Badi ayi. Ja ja. (What an artist?!! Go to hell.)" One maid, in blue dupatta, crushed the idol by stomping her feet on it's head and laughed so hard that she would echoed on the every single corner of the empty palace room. Her name was Sugandha. But she was a big bully. She taunted everyone in the royal palace. Everybody was scared of her for that reason.
Devi Supriya at young age
The girl cried aloud. In pain. Her little heart was breaking up in pieces. She felt as if her deity was in pain too. She did not know that her guess was so right!!! Far away from here, a boy was seen practicing hard. His thumb got a deep cut. At the same time. Blood had poured down. He did not know why it had happened. He was alert!! He did not know that his devotees single mistake wounded his thumb!!
Let me introduce her to all. She was none but the heroine of our this story. Devi Supriya herself.
"Are bapre. Vish kanya roh bhi sakti hain. (Oh my god!! This vile girl can cry too!!)" The second girl mocked Supriya and tried to lift her hand to slap her when suddenly she stopped by sensing a hard slap in her own left cheek.
"Kyon hain tuh?!! Teri himmat kyse huwi Binata ko hat lagaya!! (Who are you?!! How dare to touch Binata like this way?!!)" The second maid girl, named Binata, shapely turned around and gasped in utter shock. Her eyes popped out of their respective eye sockets.
Slowly but in very confident manner from her behind One girl came out. With seeing and steady proud strides. Her eyes were red in anger. Sugandha narrowed her eyes to see that face. In a second her brain seemed explode in horror!! They not even in their worst nightmare had thought to face this fierce girl!!!
With confident strides the girl came near them both and lifted her right eyebrow slightly to them. "Kya keh rahe the tum dono?!! (What are you both saying?!!)"
"Pranipat (bow to you), Rajkumari Bhanumati." Sugandha nervously bowed to her.
Binata followed her instance.
Princess Bhanumati (sister of Supriya)
From her back came forward another petite little girl. With a small smile on her beautiful face. She was none but the beloved cousin of Bhanu, Charu. Princess Charusmati. Daughter of Prince Bichitrangad and his dear wife Chrumala.
Princess Charusmati
"Pranipat, Rajkumari Charusmati."
They both bowed to Charu too who had also folded her palms to them. This sweet girl loved to pay respect to all. Even to her maids.
Bhanu rolled her eyes. Charu dropped her hands and made a nervous face. She was always scolded by her Jiji for her naivety.
"Kya bol rahe the tum Dono?!! (What do you say just now?!!)" Bhanumati demanded from them.
"Kab?!! (When?!!)" Sugandha asked her nervously. She was at a nervous wreck by seeing the sudden change of plot.
Binata batted her bigger eyelashes repeatedly. In nervousness. Bhanu had a charismatic personality so all became nervous on her presence.
"Ab. (Just now.)" Bhanu mocked her exactly in the same nervous tone.
Charu closed her mouth abruptly. She was laughing so hard that it seemed necessary to close her mouth.
"Kuch nahin. Galati ho gayi. Age se nahin hogi. (Nothing so important. It was a mistake that will never happen again.)" Sugandha lowered her head to the floor in extreme humiliation.
"Hona bhi nahin chahiye. Agar kisi ne meri behen ko chera toh yeah uska prithivi Main antim din hoga. Yeah mere vachan hain. (It should not happen again. Take care of that. If I see someone to harass my sister like this then it will be the last day of him or her. In this world. I swear to it.)" Bhanu warned her. In cold hissing voice.
They bowed deeply to her once again and ran out of the room. Hurriedly. None wanted to confront enraged Bhanu. A bit.
Charu giggled hard. She could not control her laughter anymore. The situation seemed hilarious to her!! All knew how ferocious Bhanu could be to protect her near and dear ones!! It could be seen later too. She knew how tenderly her sister Bhanu loved her Su!!Bhanu looked at her direction and smiled brightly. She was satisfied of herself!! She stopped those bullies to harass Supriya!!
Supriya was still crying fanatically. Her heart was thumping aloud. Her elder sister Bhanu came to her and ran her hands affectionately through her hair. She told her "Agle bar koi kuch bhi kahe toh apni jiji ko abasya batana!!! (Next time if anyone try to harass you then come to your elder sister at first!!)"
Supriya looked at her face intently. Her brain refused to believe what was going on!!! Princess was now calling herself as her sister!!! Till now when she called her as "Jiji" Bhanu always made a face. So Supriya stopped her addressing by that. Little did she knew that her sister loved to tease her too. But she would protect her baby sister from others. Supriya looked at her meekly. She did not understand what was going on!!!Bhanu wiped her tears gently and spread her arms to her. Supriya looked at her in utter disbelief. Bhanu assured her. She then came to her and hugged lightly. Bhanu hugged her back. Tightly. Suddenly Charu joined them too. She then back hugged them both. And jumped in joy. She got two sisters!! Yipee!!!
In this way that day, Princess Bhanu had admitted Supriya as her sister.
