But Jigar bhai was sweety; he is always there for her. She was sure her jigar bhai is now planning to give her some surprise. She got out of her bed and went to the big MM hall. And suddenly there were lots of clapping and singing and wishing all around and she knew everybody loved her. After all she was the only girl in family. Such pampered little brat.

She heard that evil woman talking to someone. What a way to start a great day? She went to the Shah hall and found all her family there. Khaka, khaki, papa, Ahem Bhai, Jigar bhai, Gopi bhabi, Rashi and above all, her Maa! She felt so happy! On the other side, there was her stupid gawar husband and his stupid family. The sight of them brought back old memories to back to her mind. Her family wished her and blessed her. She thanked them, but she felt that the bond she shared with them is not there anymore. Especially the one with her maa! She felt like crying!
Kokila looked at her daughter, it was Kinjal's 23rd birthday and it felt like she had lost her little child forever. She looked at kinjal roll her eyes; it didn't give her the feeling that she used to have whenever she looked into those rolling eyes before. Suddenly her eyes fell on Urmilaben's face. OMG, her Kinjal looks just like her Fui saas. Urmila's eyes were also bulging out with a big stupid smile on her face.
The above abstract are purely for fun and just to show Kinjal's journey from Riches to Rags (not the rag brothers)
