Sometimes being soulmates is not enough, there are many inner and outer battles one has to fight. Sometimes for ourselves, sometimes for the ones we love the most..
This tale is of how Anuj & Anupama make their way to each other or they will conclud...
Samar was lying on the bed, balancing his chin on his interlaced fingers. His favorite pastime was watching his mother get ready—from aligning her pleats perfectly, to quickly washing her face twice, applying a tint of cream, and finishing with a touch of powder.
But today was different. She unboxed her exclusive kit and poured a pinch of yellow-golden liquid (foundation) onto her fingers, applying it symmetrically across her face. Samar's eyes widened.
She hurriedly unfurled a few boxes, then a wave of relief crossed her face. She unboxed two layers of packaging and stood admiring her shimmery lipstick. After applying it, she gazed at herself in the mirror. It came as a shock to Samar: His mother admiring herself. What was going on.
Anupama rushed towards the shoe rack: Wo meri golden sitare wali chappal kahan hai...
Samar looked around and found the pair lying in the middle of the hall—a classic sign that she was disturbed.
Samar stood up, held her hand, and made her sit on a chair: Mummy Mummy.. Betho...
He fetched a glass of water, handed it to her, and quickly picked up her sandals, placing them on her feet. Sitting down on the floor close to her, he said: Aap bahut achi lag rahi hai Mummy.. aur bahut khush bhi..

Anupama smiled. Samar sensed her silence and continued: Mummy aap theek hai na..
Anupama nodded, then added in the lowest voice possible: Wo Anuj aa rahe hai mujhe lene party ke liye... tujhe aise ajeeb toh nahi lagega...
Anupama looked to the other side, but Samar gently turned her face towards him: Mummy aap kisi ko dhokha de rahi hai, koi cheating kar rahi hai
Anupama, understanding his point, shook her head negatively: Lekin... She went silent..
Samar held her hands: Mummy aapko aise kuch safe nahi lag raha ya aapko lagta hai Anuj ache insan nahi hai..
Anupama instantly added: Nahi nahi Anuj toh bahut ache hai... wo aise bahut khyal rakhte hai... kabhi aise uncomphortable nahi feel hone dete..
She looked down, noticing a smirk on Samar's face. She turned red: Nahi wo mera matlab tha main wo Anuj
Samar hugged her: Mummmy kitni cute ho aap.. poor man has lots of forbearance..
Anupama prodded: Matlab...
Samar shook: Kuch nahi... by the way Mummy looking so beautiful... aaj toh kisi ke hosh udne wale hai..
Anupama tapped his forearm: Samar zara saram nathi...
Samar cupped her face in his palms: Meri Mummy duniya ki sabse achi hai... aur jis baat ki gawahi aapka dil de raha ho wo aise galat kaise ho sakti hai.. batayie aapka dil kya keh raha hai
