He walked aimlessly unknown to his destination, today he realized that he lost that one last hope too, today he understood that he is completely empty, he has nothing to feel happy about, he is all alone...he wanted to cry, he wanted a reason, he wanted her, he wanted his life back but all his thoughts came to a halt as he heard soft sobs of someone around him
He when looked around, found a little girl hiding behind bushes and crying, he felt a sudden pain for her and felt like taking away all her pain and make her smile and with the same thought he went to her 'ohhh i never knew that i am this much unlucky ' he said aloud for the little girl to listen and she looked at him with teary eyes 'you too are going?' she asked ' going where?' he asked 'boarding school...i am unlucky because my mom don't love me and she is sending me at boarding school...but boarding schools are not good..i don't want to go...your mom don't love you too?' she asked making him let out a painful chuckle
'i don't have mom but i had one before but she didn't loved me like your mom and no i am not going to boarding school as i am a very big boy now...' 'ohh then why are unlucky?' she asked 'because such a beautiful princess is crying in front of me...i never wanted to witness a beautiful princess crying like this' he said pretending to be sad 'but what can i do? Mom never listens' she cried out , 'just sit beside her and explain her that you don't wanna go... tell her you are scared and that she will not send you...i promise she will listen to you...' 'are you sure?' 'i am very sure...i can promise' he was confident
'then promise me' she forwarded her hand for a hand shake which he took in his and shook promising her 'now come on, come out from these bushes' he directed as he picked her up and made her sit on a nearby bench 'so what's your name princess?' he asked 'i am anaya...anaya Khurana ' 'wow i am Siddhart...Siddhart Khurana...both khurana Khurana' he said and she giggled 'that's sounds cool Mr.Khurana...but i being Khurana is a secret between us...mom never likes me to be called Khurana ' 'ohh ohkay...top secret' he said making a face and they high-fived... 'will you like to have some ice cream?' and she happily nodded clapping her hands together 'ohkay wait for me and i will be back' he said touching her nose slightly and went to bring an ice cream for her while she smiled but her smile died seeing the person approaching her

Roshni just reached home when Mohan came running to her 'mam...mam' he took deep breaths as he finally stood by her 'what's the matter mohan?' 'mam, baby...baby is not in her room...' he informed 'what...did you checked around, she must be playing some where...' 'no mam i looked for her everywhere but she isn't anywhere...' 'shit!! I will go and search her...you inform me if you found her ' and she rushed outside in search of her
And after roaming around at god knows where and where and finally she spotted her at a random bench on some isolated road 'what the hell...anaya' she called out a loud making the girl go scared 'what the hell you think you are...roaming around the city as if i bought it for you...do you have any idea since how long i am trying to find you...you are too much...you are six years old but always behaving as a two years kid...at least think what could had happened if i wouldn't had found you on time...now let's go' roshni scolded her
For the first after that day she was scared...she was going to lose her hidden reason to breath...the reason world is unaware of...the reason she don't want him to know and fafter seeing her she sighed in relief that she found her out and dragging her towards the car, she made her sit in and drove away...When siddhart return anaya was nowhere to be seen, he looked around and saw her waving him from the car, he too waved back at her and showed her thumbs up for her to not to loose hope and try to do what he told her

Roshni walked in with anaya and took her direct to her room 'now i don't want any drama anaya...make sure that you don't try to escape again as i can search you again also' she warned as she turned 'ruhi please i don't wanna go' she requested while roshni shrugged and turned to leave 'mom' anaya called out stopping roshni and she turned to look at her, her eyes having a lot of emotions, it was one of those rare situation when anaya addressed her as mom and she felt so happy but of course she wouldn't express it so quickly hided her happiness behind her cold face
'what now anaya? ' roshni asked sternly, anaya took baby steps towards her and held her hand asking to come with her, roshni denied so she forced 'please mom' she said with tears forming in her eyes 'fine' she said and went and sat on the bed with anaya beside her 'mom i don't want to go at boarding school..they aren't good, they will beat me...i am scared, i don't like them...mom i promise that i won't irritate you a bit, i will complete all my home work, i will have food on time, i won't irritate mohan kaka too, please mom i don't wanna go...please' she was crying..her tears melted roshni's heart to some extent as she made her sit on her lap
'you don't want to go?' she asked and anaya nodded 'then i promise...i won't send you there but what will i get in return?' roshni asked teasingly wiping anaya's tears 'anything' she said sweetly 'promise?' 'yes promise...' 'then done...i will ask you what i want but later' roshni said and she nodded yet again 'now you should sleep, you must be tired right?' 'no i want to be with you...please' she requested 'can i always call you mom?' she asked
'did i ever told you to not to call me mom?' roshni asked 'no' she answered 'then why will i today?' anaya smiled listening to it and hugged her 'i love you mom' 'i too love you anaya...now keep your promise and listen to me...take a nap now and we will sleep in my room at night... I will ask your mohan kaka to bring your milk' roshni smiled and lying her on bed walked out to instruct mohan when her eyes fell on her mother
Durga and shiv had witnessed the entire scene and they were so shocked with this new piece of news that forgot how to react for a moment...when they came here, they were really happy and were also welcomed nicely by the staff and assumed that they know them because of today's breaking news, durga and shiv were shown the room where roshni was so they decided to go and give her a surprise but were left surprised themselves after witnessing what everything
'roshni..she is you...your daughter ' asked or yet said durga 'yes she is...' 'and his father?' asked durga scared about the answer 'for me her father died the day ruhi Singhania was born and now i am her mother and i am her father...' she answered sternly 'he deserves to know ' shiv said indicating "him" 'oh really and how can you say that Mr.Patel?' she asked letting out a sarcastic laugh 'i am your father roshni' 'but i am not roshni...i am ruhi...' 'roshni please at least don't talk to us like that..we are seeing you after 7 years...please beta' durga requested teary eyed
'then don't bring him up...' she warned and they helplessly nodded, roshni gave them a smile which anyhow didn't reached her eyes 'come let's go for lunch...mohan had prepared all your favourite dishes ' roshni said as she walked away 'Like mother like daughter' shiv said 'he should know about it durga' shiv added 'i too think shiv but we have no right to tell him without roshni's permission..may be she will tell him herself when the time is right...' durga said wiping her tears 'but dur...' shiv started when she placed her hand on his 'no shiv, we have no right to interfere in those matters which are solely her's...we are here for our daughter...' 'fine...as you say' and he sighed giving in
It was late in night when roshni was sitting in her room going through a file when anaya walked in 'm...mom' she called 'yes anaya?' roshni turned towards her closing the file 'you said we will sleep together ' she reminded and roshni smiled 'yes i said, now come on bed' she said as she helped her to climb on bed 'so what kind of story you would like to hear?' roshni asked 'you...mom please talk with me..' she requested in a low voice which made roshni hurt...
And they talked about every silly thing until anaya fell asleep in her lap, roshni quietly made her lie on bed and starred at her caressing her hairs 'i never realized that my little princess was craving for my love to this extent..i did exactly what my mom did to me..i pushed you away because of your father just like what my mom did..i am sorry for hurting you anaya and i promise that i will be the best mother for you...i won't let you cry anymore...now i will be your MOM in all means...i love you a lot' she kissed her forehead and went to sit on her arm chair
She kept switching on and off the side lamp as she drifted back in past to that when they created a last beautiful memory together...
