~~Ho..Kaise huzur ji yeh lab dikhlaye
Chuppi lage ke bhi gazab hai yeh dhaye
Dheere Dheere Naino Ko Dheere dheere
Jiya Ko Dheere Dheere Bhayo re Saibo~~

Lohar " lo madam ho gaya "

She took the duplicate from the lohar her face hidden behind a veil of shadows. Her expression was unreadable her eyes gleaming with a fierce intensity

Her "Thanks" she growled her voice low and husky as she payed him

The lohar nodded taking a step back

lohar "No problem madam Yeh toh hamara roz ka kam he "

She turned to leave her movements swift and silent the lohar watched her go a shiver running down his spine

There was something unsettling about her something that made him glad he wasn't in her bad books

As she disappeared into the crowd he whispered to himself while shoving the money in his shirt pocket " kon thi ye kya thi ye?"

Meanwhile she walked with a purpose her eyes scanning the surroundings Her grip on the keys was tight her mind racing with possibilities as she remembered the conversation she had with a person today while having breakfast

Flash back

?? " Well Ms. Chandravan-" the person began but she cut them off

She "You know I don't like it when you call me that " she said her voice firm but controlled

The nickname rolled off his tongue like a familiar caress but her reaction was far from affectionate

She looked down her gaze fixed on the food

Her "I have a name " she said her voice low and even

Her "Why do you call me Koyal?"

She finally asked the particular question The question that had haunted her for a while and she finally mustered the courage to confront him

The person's chuckle sent shivers down her spine the sound dark and menacing as if he had been waiting for her to ask His eyes gleamed with a sinister intensity

"Kyuki tumhe aur koyal meh ek chease common he," he said, his voice dripping with malice. The words hung in the air like a challenge.

Her frown deepened, her eyes clouded with confusion

Her "And exactly what is that?" she pressed her curiosity getting the better of her

The person's smile twisted his lips curling upward.

?? "Do you knowmother koyal eggs lay karne ke baad un new born baby's chord deti he? Kyuki woh uske liye unwanted hote he "

Her eyes widened her mind racing She knew the cruel truth behind his words Cuckoo birds were notorious for laying their eggs in other birds' nests only to have the host bird raise their young But what happened to the host's own offspring

She closed her eyes the implication sinking in he was comparing her to a cuckoo bird suggesting she was unwanted

Her voice barely barely rose above a whisper, her words laced with vulnerability

Her "so you are saying I am unwanted ?"

The person's laughter echoed through the dining room the sound sending chills down her spine

?? "Tum bhi janti ho ki it's not just you Ek time peh Chandravanshi pariwar ke sare bache unwanted the " he said his voice dripping with malice as he continued
