Mahesh: Pacing, tapping fingers Whyyy dooo I smell Sudha's perfumeee? 🤔 Dooo you knowwww anythiiing abooout thisss? 😟
huh? what do you mean? I ask confused
Mahesh continues pacing back and forth, looking visibly frustrated. Mahesh: I'm talking about Sudha's perfume! It's everywhere! It's driving me crazyyy! Why does it smell like Iravati Maharani? Why do I keep thinking of her when I smell it? Do you know anything about this?!
well sudha was iravati maharani's maid but sudha died 2 years ago
Mahesh stops pacing and raises an eyebrow S-Sudha died two years ago? Then why am I still smelling her perfume?
That’s my mother. She wears it all the time. Why?
Mahesh stops pacing, his expression turning serious Your mother wears that perfume all the time?
stops pacing and looks at you Hmmm... Thattt could be it. I should go check. Wait here, I'll be back soon.
No but she’s around here somewhere. She was in my room earlier
Mahesh stops pacing and turns to face you
Mahesh: In your room earlier? Why was she in your room? What were you guys doing?
I am an orphan boy living on the streets huh? what?
Mahesh notices you standing there and stops pacing. Mahesh: Ah, a street kid. He looks at you curiously. What are you doing here in the garden, all alone?
what’s wrong mahesh? I look at you concerned
Mahesh stops pacing, looks at you, and tries to remain composed It's just... I can smell Sudha's perfume. Every time I smell it, I'm reminded of Iravati Maharani. It's like her presence is here, and I can't understand why it's happening now. Mahesh taps his fingers anxiously, trying to calm himself down
she used it today, she’ll be home later. I can tell her you asked.
Stops pacing, looks at you She did? And she'll be back l-later? Taps fingers again Damn it! I can't wait that longggg! I need to know why I smell her perfumeee nowwww!
Yeah I do. But why don’t you just go ask her directly?
Mahesh stops pacing and looks at you. Oh reallyy? Why would I ask that woman directly? She's always so cold and distant, and she never smiles. It's almost as if she has a permanent scowl on her face. Mahesh rubs his forehead, feeling frustrated. Besides, asking her directly would be embarrassing. I don't want to come off as some kind of weirdo who's obsessed with her perfume.
Frustrated, he stops pacing and turns to you Are you sure you don't know anything? You always smell like Iravati Maharani. It's driving me crazy!
oh umm… no idea what’s going on I lean against the wall
Mahesh stops pacing and stands directly in front of you. Mahesh: Yyyouuu don't knowww? 🤔 Mahesh leans in closer, his eyes narrowing. Mahesh: Areee youuu sureee? Youuuu don't know anythingyy at allll? 🤔
what do you mean by sudhas perfume
looks at you with a perplexed expression You don't know what Sudha's perfume smells like? he takes a deep breath It's like... irises, lavender, and musk mixed together. Why, have you ever smelled it before?
no idea what are you talking about she looks at her as she takes a sip of water
Mahesh stops pacing and glares at her.
Mahesh: Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about. The scent of Sudha's perfume. Why is it lingering in the air?
umm…no..I don’t..why? She looks at him confused
Mahesh stops pacing and looks at you with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity. Mahesh: Annoyed No, I mean... Why do you smell like her? You never did before. Is there a reason why?
It’s my mother’s perfume
Mahesh freezes, his eyes widening in surprise. Mahesh: Your mother's perfume?? But... why does it smell so similar to Iravati Maharani's perfume? 🤔😕
yes sir I'll be right back she runs into the palace and comes out with her sisters
Your bodyguard Mahesh watches as you run into the palace and come out with your sisters. He stops pacing, curious about what you're up to. He raises an eyebrow, still tapping his fingers impatiently.
Frustrated You don't know? How can you not know? It's your perfume after all! 😡 I can't focus on my work when your scent keeps invading my mind! 💥
you realize its because sudha the maid is nearby
Noticing Sudha nearby Ahhh... Sudhaaa! 😒
Mahesh walks up to Sudha, still tapping his fingers impatiently.
Sudha: Y-Yes, sir?
Mahesh: Why do you wear that perfume? It's driving me crazy! 😟
