Author's POV

A year ago

"Nahi Rani, hume yahi chahiye" Samaira insisted her friend who had this look on her face of 'are you out of your mind?'

"Dard hoga usse Samaira, koi chota dekhlo" Rani tried to reason but her small brain friend was not in the mood to listen to her

"Okay, fine. Par jaha dard kum ho vaha karlo" Nodding her head, Samaira stepped foot in the 'Print your Ink' tattoo place

She told the artist what she needs to be drawn and where

Holding her bestfriend's hand tightly, she shut her eyes closed as the pain started to kick in.

She thought of stopping it for a second when the pain became unbearable but she really wanted to get that one tattoo

"Done" the guy said after what felt like an eternity and positioned a mirror in a way she could see it

Her lips turned into a small smile when she saw a familiar pattern on the back of her neck

Rani looked shocked at how her friend who can't even handle a little mosquito bite beared all that pain

Paying the amount, Rani dropped Samaira back at her home

"Baba.....Baba, Maa, Baba kaha hai?" She asked her mother who was in the living room reading a magazine

"Upar study room mai, kyu kya hua?" Her mother asked but Samaira had already started running towards the study room

As she opened the doors, Arnav Rajput looked up at his daughter and a smile adorned his face

"Baba" she went ahead and hugged her father

"Aagayi meri beti, kuch khaya?" He asked his daughter who nodded her head no

"Pehele aap bhatiye yaha" she made him sit back on the chair and turned around showing him her tattoo

"Bilkul apke jaise hai na baba, you said it was one of the mark the royal family had back then, so I thought even I could get one"

Upon hearing no words of appreciation from her father, she frowned and turn back and saw her father looking at her with tears in his eyes

"Kya hua baba, kuch galat kar diya kya humne?" She said to her father but Arnav Rajput nodded his head negative and stroked her hair gently

"Your dadi would've loved this" he said hugging his daughter

Her mother screamed as soon as she saw the tattoo on her daughter's neck

"Samaira, ye kya hai??? Idhar aao tum" Samaira hid behind her father looking at her mother's horrifying reaction, well she was aware about it to some extent

"Mumma....humne baba ke liye kiya dekhiye he's so happy"

"Idhar aiye pehele aap, hum batate hai apko"
