Karn POV
She said she liked coming here, and that was the only thing I needing to feel all content of the world. Ananya was happy that I bought her to that place. A place that I went to when I couldn't find inner peace. I had never told anybody else about that place but I told her in no time, forget telling her I took her there. Now, I am surprised out of it.
"Hum bazaar ja saktein Hain?" (Can we go to the market?) Her voice brings me back.
"Bazaar?" (Market?) I ask confused. What does she want?
"Hmm, hum Bua ke liye kuch kharidna chatein Hain." (Hmm, I want to buy something for my aunt's.) She answers.
Oh! Nice. But why?
"Kya?" (What?) I ask intrigued.
"Jo bazaar Mein mil Gaye." (Whatever I will find in the market.) She gives her, as always, uneven answer.
"Tum kabhi purn Uttar deti ho?" (Do you ever give complete answers?) I ask annoyed a little. Not exactly annoyed, just a little frustrated, I guess.
"Jab Uttar pata hi nahi ho, toh Kya dun?" (When I don't know the answer, what should I tell you?) she back questions. Now, I have no answer.
I steer the horse towards the market. At the entry she stops me.
"Kya Hua?" (What happened?) I question.
"Yahan se main paydal chali jaungi." (I will walk on foot from here.)
"Paydal Kyun jana hai?" (Why on foot?) I enquire.
"Tabhi toh longon Mein ghul mil paungi." (Then only will I able to mix with the people) She answers.
"In kapdon Mein?" (In these clothes?) I chuckle.
"Itne upar rehne se toh behter hai." (It is better than being so high up.) She mocks before jumping of the horse.
Sighing, I also jump off and call a solider standing nearby. "Is ghode ka khayal rakhna, hum abhi atein Hain." (Keep this horse safe, I am coming back in few.) I tell him, he nods in understanding.
