The words , "The Mermaid" hung across the tiny shop in the corner of the very busy street. A lovely flower vase with fresh white lilies welcomed the customers.

Rows of colorful dupattas occupied the left hand corner of the shop followed by mix and match pattialas.

Lines of salwar suites hung in the center part of the shop and a separate small section for western wear lined the rear end.

At 7:30 pm the shop was quite empty with only a couple of ladies browsing.

There was a small dressing room suitably placed with mirrors & it was knocked by a little girl in a pinafore.

"Amma..come out soon.. I'm hungry..."

"Wait sweety... will be back soon.. just be calm.."

The girl was interrupted by a lady in a green salwar.She was tall ,slender and wheatish in complexion. Her high heeled sandal complemented her foot.People would never fail to take a second look at her lovely face.

"Hi kutti.. here have a chocolate.. your mom would be here very soon.."

"No thanks aunty.. amma will scold me... "

"no no.. come here I will tell her..here.. "

"ummm... thanks aunty.. err... I want to sit in this chair... its very high.."

"Haha.. there now you are seated .. happy?"
"Aunty...can I get one more choc.."

Her words were interrupted by her mom who was moving towards the cash counter rapidly.

"Dhivya ..now thats the fifth chocolate you are eating today!! Did I not tell you to sit down quietly..why are you disturbing aunty.."

"Look at her tiny hands..there she is holding me now...how adorable..Ummaahh"

"Sidharth..how many times have I told you not to kiss her.. "
"Its okay honeybun..you know that my mouth is as fresh as a flower.. dont worry.." "There ..my pants are wet again!!.. "

"Hahaha..that was a naughty little revenge for your kiss...my daughter knows how to tackle her father already"

"No sweetheart that's my daughter.. my sweet Anjana..Anju"

"Aha..you selfish idiot.. its our daughter & her name is not Anjana remember that...you agreed to keep it as Aradhana.. & call her Dhanu.."

"No Anu... we still have to work on that.. and by the way dear.. one way she is your daughter..look at her yawning... lazy sleeper like you.. "
"Sidhaaaaaaaarth.......you need a good thrash "

Sidharth smiled looking at the picture he had clicked then.He had a very vivid memory.

Anu looked very beautiful that day with her loose hair & motherly look she looked like an angel.Little Anju was lying in her pink bed in her pink dress amidst pink pillows, all pink as decided and decorated by Anu!!

Sidharth still felt pride in winning the name Anjana...ofcourse he knew that Anu wouldn't want him to lose anyday. But now..after such long time with Anju in KG-I.. he has been defeated... and deserted.
