It was a new morning, Tamasvini woke up and her eyes fell on the Kangan in her hand, that Arjun made her wear yesterday.
'What are you planning Mata Mahakali ? Because I know your decision will be in favour of everyone and not just universe.' Tamasvini wondered.
She got up and went up to the window opening the curtains. And spread her arms, as the cool breeze touched her body.
On the opposite side Arjun was walking through the corridor, when he saw her.
'She woke up so late ? Right she is Tamas Guna. But she seems so much at peace.' He thought.
Tamasvini felt someone's gaze, and that when she saw Arjun.
"Don't stare !" Tamasvini said closing the curtains.
"God !" Arjun grunted leaving.
On the other side Satyamurti was in the temple of Narayan, just finished offering prayers. She turned around and saw Yudhishthir, smiling at her.
"Good morning." He greeted.
"Good morning to you too." Satyamurti said.
She walked towards him and gave him the prasad which he gratefully ate. Both looked at each other and smiled.
"Do you always offer your prayers here ?" He asked.
"Daily." She said.
"So nice." Yudhishthir smiled.
"Thank you." She said shyly.
Elsewhere in kitchen, Bheem was enjoying the food made by Rajeshwari.
"So tasty ! I want more." Bheem said.
"Enough Bheem, she will get tired." Kunti said.
"Not at all Rajmata. I never get tired." Rajeshwari said.
"It is true." Tamasvini said coming towards them.
"Finally you're here. Sit, I shall serve you." Rajeshwari said.
Tamasvini smiled and sat down beside Bheem. Kunti looked at her full black attire astounded.
"Putri, ever since I came here I have a question in my mind for you." Kunti asked.
"Ask away." Tamasvini said.
"Do you always wear black ?" Kunti asked.
"Yes, black is such a happy colour." Tamasvini said.
"Do you even own any colour besides black ?" Bheem asked.
"Yeah. I have pitch black, dark black, ebony black, charcoal black, Onyx black, midnight Black, Kohl black." Tamasvini said.
Bheem and Kunti chuckled as Rajeshwari shook her head.
"Sometimes I think there is no cure for you." Rajeshwari said and Tamasvini chuckled.
After eating Tamasvini decided to leave.
"Where are you going ?" Rajeshwari asked.
"To build a haven." Tamasvini said.
"For birds ?" Kunti asked.
"No. For lonely and unwanted bats." Tamasvini said.
"Is there anything normal about you ?" Rajeshwari asked.
"Normal is just an illusion, an individual perspective, the thing that is normal for a spider is chaos for the fly." Tamasvini said and left.
"She is not wrong, the amount of food normal for an average being is starter for me." Bheem said.
Kunti and Rajeshwari chuckled, shaking their heads.

A/NIsn't Tamasvini the most unique character I've ever written ?
So many have asked me how I write such good characters. First of all Thank you, second of all there is a trick.
Advice for new authors -
I always make my characters have three things.
1) Common sense - It makes the character seem like a no nonsense being.
2) Wisdom - It makes the character sensible, rational and realistic.
3) Wits - This attribute of humour adds the fun element to the story.
These three attributes also make anyone likeable.
In other books and movies, you'll always see the lead characters act stupidly and clumsily in worst situations, especially the ones in horror movies.
But my characters on the other hand are usually very calm and composed and not like the ones always about to lose their shit.
