Different shades of Surbhi.

Part 9

Let's switch sides and gears to Anika.
Aruna believed the saying that education is the greatest weapon to change the world,these words fresh in our minds from one of the greatest people in the world,she took Anika to a local school.
She worked day and night to give her the very best, education and other basic essential needs.
She was very fortunate because she wasn't the demanding time....wants this and that....she accepted her situation wholeheartedly and let's say she was her lucky charm or rather her disguise in blessings,she helped her in selling her baskets and woven and even in the house chores back at home and in addition in her studies and academics,she topped the whole class ,brought trophies at home because she competed in every essay competition in their school and even further in the region and apart from bringing trophies she inspired and was a mentor to people in the village to go to school including her friends Gauri and Bhavya.

Going back to the Kapoor's.
Ishani was also doing extremely well in her studies, especially in the STEM subjects.

While Bani on the other side,focused in Arts and Designing,which include: modelling and creating her own designs ,aside from that,being that her family was now one of the richest family in India,she took that as an advantage of starting her own channels of YouTube and Instagram of her day to day life,which made her popular among the youth.

After days,weeks and months passed,the calendar marked 12 th September,it was the triplets birthday.

Ishani and Bani were given a grand birthday.
Everything was expensive and fancy in other words Tejvi went out.
They brought Cinderella to their birthday (princess theme)

Bani seemed to enjoying the birthday more because right now her parents were focusing more on her than before Ishani and Anika.

She ever stole the spotlight of Ishani.

Ishani liked the party but at the same time missed Anika her sister and her best friend she kept on experiencing nostalgia memories of her and Anika but pretended in front of her parents to enjoying the party to not make her parents experiencing the same pain.

I bet you're wondering how Aruna knows that this is her birthday,because the same day she rescued Anika is the same day she made her birthday.... isn't strange...what a coincidence.

Anika's birthday was simple but happy.
With her friends and  family beside her what more could she ask for.

She had no cake but Aruna prepared her favorite dishes.

In times of gifts,Gauri and Bhavya her best friends brought one: a sweater and a play toy gun.

The essence is Gauri used to notice that Anika's sweater was getting worn out and since she knew how to knit she knitted her friend a sweater.

While Bhavya, brought a play toy gun to let's say protect her from mischievous boys who trouble girls unnecessarily.

She was happy,she thanked them and was happy to the heavens for giving her such wonderful friends but she didn't know that she had a surprise.

Aruna gifted her a brand new school bag because her bag was getting worn out and tore even after knitting and sewing all the time.

"Grandma...you shouldn't have....we could use that money....for your medicines," Anika said.
"Dear.....I know your bag is getting worn out....you've been also doing well in your studies....this is least I can do for you," Aruna replied.
"Grandma... don't say such things...you've done so much already....am lucky to have you," replied Anika.

Aruna hugged her,she was grateful for letting the universe send Anika in her life.

After celebrating her birthday they went to bed.

Anika slept first,unlike good beds like her sisters she slept in a wore out mattress,Aruna caressed her hair and face until she too feel asleep.
