In Rana Mansion... An old lady around sixty was elegantly sitting on the couch, she was wearing a silk saree with a matching blouse, her both wrists were full of gold bangles, a heavy diamond necklace around her neck with a long mangalsutra and a pair of heavy tanglers were hanging in her ears and just above her forehead in hair partition, a crimson vermilion was shining. In front of her, a young woman was standing, her head was lower, she was wearing a silk saree too, but her one wrist covered with a bracelet and another one with a simple watch, in her ears a pair of tiny diamond earrings were sparkling and a around her neck was only a diamond mangalsutra and vermilion was in her hair partition too. There was a sad expression on her beautiful face. The old lady was staring at her and asked: "Is your friend coming today?" The young woman nodded her head, old lady frowned "Why is she coming here suddenly, is she coming to our house
Arjun was looking at her with disbelief, he looked into her emerald green eyes. He felt as if she was seeing a stranger. 'She has forgotten me, she doesn't really recognize me, how can this happen?' She saw him for a few seconds, then she ran and went inside the house, Arjun followed her. He saw that she ran to her mother and clutched her clothes and then buried her face in them. Her action was as if she was hiding in fear of someone. He felt heartache. At this time Anna came downstairs, she looked at them and gave a huge smile. She went close to Maansaa and gave her a tight hug, her eyes became wet, she said in low voice "Welcome," and then she left her friend and looked at Captain Anand "Hello brother-in-law!" Captain Anand nodded his head with a gentle smile. Anna looked at the Suhana, she was still clutching her mother's clothes. Maansaa said her daughter to greet her. Suhana looked up to her mother and then she nodde
Anna was flipping the pages of the album and looking at the photos. The photos of her parents, Maansaa's parents, her childhood photos with Maansaa, her wedding pictures, Maansaa and Captain Anand's wedding pictures. Photos of Arjun's newborn baby and Suhana's. Anna closed the album after seeing the pictures. Arjun took the album from her hands, flipped the page, and started looking at the photos. First, he saw a black and white photo of a couple. "This picture of your maternal grandparents," Maansaa told him. Arjun looked at the picture, in this picture, they showed their kind and gentle expressions, he felt that his mother inherent her kindness and gentleness from them. He had never seen his maternal grandparents, he gently stroked the picture with his hand as if he was touching the faces of his maternal grandparents. If they were still alive, no one would call his mother an orphan and make fun of her. Arjun sighed and
Everyone was sitting in the dining room and having their lunch, the maids were not there, they had left after keeping the food on the dining table. There was the only head butler, who was personally serving them. Maansaa and Anna were talking happily to each other while eating, they were also teasing Captain Anand. Arjun and Suhana were also eating. Suhana was eating with a frown because she had lots of green vegetables on her plate. While she was eating, another fork came on her plate and started picking all the vegetables from her plate. She saw that Arjun was putting all the vegetables from her plate to his own plate and he also gestured her to keep quiet so that no one could see them. Suhana nodded her head with a big smile. Arjun gave her fish, but before that, he didn't forget to remove all bones from it. He gave her water, and whenever any food's stuck on her face, he was cleaning her face. Their parents and butler Kaur were see
After the childish engagement ceremony, Anna was going to call her father-in-law, at that time he was still in Randhwa's family. ***** Randhwa Mansion... In the living room, Mr. and Mrs. Rana were sitting on the couch and in front of them, Megha was sitting between an old man and woman. The old man had fox-like eyes, he looked very cunning, he had few dark and mostly grey hairs. His one hand was on Megha's shoulder. A young man and a woman were also sitting there, they both looked like husband and wife. The face of the man was the same as Megha. A young girl around twenty sitting there too, that girl had the same feature as Megha but not as much as that young man. On the other side of the living room, Karan was having fun with his cousins, one of them seemed to be Karan's age and two were looking 7 to 8 years old. "...And then started to looking at me angrily, his whole face had turned red because of anger." Karan happily told them. His cousins started to grinning except one,
Captain Anand was getting ready to go to Rana Group to meet Sohan Rana. Anna was talking with children, she wasn't paying attention to Captain Anand and Maansaa. Captain Anand seized this chance and whispered to his wife "I'm going now. If I can't come in time, then there is no need to go alone, you will ask Anna, she will send you Singh Villa with her driver and bodyguards," Maansaa nodded "Okay," Captain Anand whispered in her ear again "And remember this, don't tell her anything about Randhwa. Okay?" Maansaa also whispered, "If we don't say her anything, it wouldn't mean that we are putting her in danger?" Captain Anand looked at Anna "As long as Rakesh is with her, they don't have the courage to do anything to her. But if we tell her about them, then she can be definitely in danger, so it is good for her safety that she doesn't know anything about Randhwa." Maansaa nodded her head "Maybe you are right. I won't tell he
After Captain Anand left the Rana mansion, Anna took Maansaa to her bedroom and Arjun went to the garden with Suhana. Suhana was sitting on the swing and Arjun was swinging her, but very slowly and carefully. She didn't like to swing slowly, she was continually demanding "Swing a little faster, it's very slow, it's not fun at all, please swing a little faster," "If I swing you a little fast, you will fall from the swing and get hurt," Arjun said with concern. "I won't, I will firmly hold the swing's chain so I won't fall, you just swing me faster." Suhana still insisted. Arjun sighed and said "Okay, now I'm going to swing you a little faster, but be careful," She nodded and firmly gripped the swing's chain. Arjun started swinging her little fast, but not as much as she wanted. She still wasn't having fun. Just a short distance away from them, Jai Kaur was watching and hearing them. He smiled and went close to them.
Arjun wanted to know more about his mother, so he requested Maansaa to tell him their stories. Maansaa accepted his request and started telling the story "As you just heard earlier, we met your uncle for the first time twenty-two years ago. At the time I was fifteen years old and your mother was fourteen years old. But our story started even before that..." She paused and saw everyone's expressions, Arjun, who was listening to her story with full contemplation and interest, Anna seemed as if she lost in her old memories and Suhana... she was focusing only on eating her chocolates, she wasn't paying attention to what her mother was saying. Maansaa started telling her story again "At that time I was 8 years old and your mother was 7 years old, we lived in a city in Tamil Nadu and at that time my father and your grandparents were alive..." A faint smile emerged on her face, but deep sadness was also visible in her eyes. At that time both used to live in
