expectations

the temple was filled with silence but it was not the one quiet and peaceful. This silence held many words with the three little girls sitting in circles and staring at the floor with no words.as if Sonu was not able to bear the sharp silence she decided to cut it with her own words.

"so is anyone hungry?or starving"

"pfttt" a small laugh escaped from Rani but she covered her mouth with her hands. bani looked at Sonu in disbelief " tell me your not serious right? "

Sonu " why can't I be serious?"

bani " we are literally stuck in the middle of nowhere because of some mysterious fire ball from a lamp and on top of it you were just held hostage by an old uncle now tell me again is this the situation where you are relaxed like you're at home?"

Sonu smiled and bent forward so she was now close to bani's face and then gave a sweet smile and said " if home is where my heart is then my home is where you all are now tell me isn't it right?" bani who was looking at Sonu with a serious expression suddenly opened and closed her mouth like a fish before closing it and shutting her eyes and sighed in defeat.

a small smile appeared on bani's face she opened her eyes her cute dimple showing she stretched her hand and pinched Sonu's face

" smart ass don't play with me little panda" Sonu smiled even when her one cheek was in between bani's fingers she gave a sweet teeth smile which made her look adorably funny.

Rani " aweee you monkey how can you forget about me " whosh.. Rani jumped on Sonu and bani " offf..."

"hey ....! owee! be careful" but Rani didn't pay any attention to both of their complaints and instead hugged them both tightly.

bani "wow Sonu maybe we should call Rani baby elephant 🐘 she is so heavy "

Sonu giggled at bani's words " deal 🤝😌" Rani who was hugging them hit both of their heads and laughed. unknown to them that Teja was standing quitely lost in her own thoughts of train. suddenly Teja got up and pulled them apart.

all of them were shocked by this behaviour bani " sis what happened why did you pull us?" Teja looked at bani with an expressionless face without saying a word she turned her head to Sonu and said in a low voice "No it's false we will never be together forever we are not your home" Rani gasped and Teja's words and put her both hands on her mouth. bani looked as if she heard something she never thought she will hear.

Sonu was dumbstruck she wasn't able to reply as if the world turned upside down and she wasn't even able to react.sonu snapped at Teja like a teenager on their parents. " sis why are you acting like this!? i never expected you to talk like this I never expected you to behave like this?? who are you I don't even know it I guess!" Sonu's voice was ringing in the temple she was so loud she never spoke in such a manner to Teja ever.

Teja " me !? it's you look at you how are you behaving I never expected you to behave like this !!! " Teja also shouted back at Sonu

Sonu " that's because you are acting differently Why are you like this? " before they can shout more a strong voice was heard " girls stop it why are you all fighting!?" this voice belongs to princess niru she came back when Sonu was saying they she was hungry but decided to stay quiet and let the things settle for them as she knew it is no joke that they traveled to a different world by some divine fire ball from a small 🪔 lamp.

both of them looked at the princess as Sonu saw the princess she was going to say something but suddenly Teja said " your being a disappointment for me " as Sonu Heard this she was taken aback like she heard something she was never meant to or never expected to hear from Teja. tears started to fall from Sonu's eyes she backed away slowly step by step then turned her back and ran out of the temple.

bani and Rani also followed Sonu while calling her name from behind. Teja was alone with princess niru.the princess sighed and said in low voice "it's a good thing to make them indipendent and I know without hurting they won't know the cure and the whole process" Teja was taken aback for a moment before looking at the princess and nodding her head with sad eyes.

Sonu was running deep into the forest knowing that bani and Rani were following her but now she just doesn't want anyone near her she just wants to be alone so she ran with full speed leaving Rani and bani behind but also going further into the forest. bani " Rani we lost her sight what should we do?"

Rani " let's go back and tell the princess she will be able to help us find Sonu " bani nodded her head and they both sprinted back to the temple to tell that they lost Sonu.

Sonu finally stopped seeing that she left Rani and bani far behind Sonu looked around and sat near a tree and took her legs close to her stomach and rested her head on her knees. she was so disappointed she didn't expect something like this from Teja she was hurt and disappointed through and through.
