Everyone soon retired to their rooms thinking about the new revelations.
In Sanjana's room.
Sanjana was deeply staring at the picture hung on the wall. It was something which she definitely did not want to see, it made her remind, of who she was. Of him, with her.

"Mashi! I don't want to marry anyone! I have already repeated this several time, and I'll repeat it again. I.Do.Not.Want.To.Marry.Anyone.", Sanjana sat on the sofa after announcing her last judgement on the topic of marriage. Monami, Sanjana and Koel lived in a 4BHK apartment after staying in the orphanage which was owned by a sweet lady of nearly 45years in age. The three fondly called her Mashi.

Mahika Kulkarni. Fondly called as Mashi by Sanju, Monu and Koel. Her husband died few years ago. Loves Sanju, Monu and Koel like her own daughters. Slightly backward in thoughts. Sweet lady.

"Sanju! You know that only after your marriage will Monami and Koel agree for marriage", Mashi tried to explain. "Uh- wait. Who said I am going to marry?", Koel piped in. "Oh just shut up. I am trying to convince Sanju for marriage, don't poke your nose in here!", Mashi shushes Koel. Koel makes a face and sits on the bed enjoying the drama that was going to unfold. "See, All I know is that I am not marrying either!", Sanju lifted her hands up in surrender. "See, you have to marry or else...", Mashi stopped mid-way.
"Or else? You are trying to scare a police officer huh?", Sanju joked while the other girls giggled. "You girls are going out of hands now! Comm'on, at least see the boy first. Maybe you end up liking him?", Mashi tried to convince Sanju. "Fine, if you're insisting so much, I'll see the boy but if I don't like him I'll reject him immediately.", Sanju spoke stressing on the word "see". "Done done done!!", Mashi clapped her hands and cheered gleefully. "My goodness!", Sanju gasped while seeing her Mashi so happy. Mashi left to the her bedroom to call up the boy and his family.
"Arey just see that boy Sanju, with a clear mind. Mashi really wants you to get married to that boy, see how happy she is. We can at least do that much for Mashi. She has done so much for us, shelter, food and motherly love. At least we can see the boys she wants us to see?", Monami spoke. "Apparently, it's me, not us!", Sanju retorted. Monami rolled her eyes, "Yes, and soon it will be us!". "Point, anyways, since you'll be seeing the boy. Shopping!!! We need to buy good clothes and makeup for you. After all, at least the boy should get flat upon seeing the one and only Sanjana!", Koel chimed."
