2021-08-01 02:38:01After telling her sister everything about Maya, Anjumand said. "Come, I will introduce you to Maya's mother."
When Anupriya told her that she liked Maya, Anjumand got really excited.
Maya was Ishra's best friend, and lucky for Anupriya that even Maya's mother was looking for a suitable boy for Maya.
"Maya is the only daughter of her parents, she has two brothers, and her father is dead," Anjumand informed her while they make their way where Maya's mother was seated with her daughter-in-law.
Anupriya truly felt like Maya is the one for her Dayyan. The way Maya was simply standing away from the crowd, her somber dressing sense, and her graceful voice.
Anupriya kept her hope high this time.
