(Chapter-1)
[Her name is Mehaki]
A foggy winter day. A beautiful 2 story house, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Various trees, flower plants and bushes. Fog covering the colorfulness of the resident, the "Miraz Monjil". In the backyard, a man of early-thirties with chestnut hair, black eyes and an unshaved face is sitting on the balcony stairs. Indeed the owner of the house, Miraz Muzaif. He lets out a sigh as he looks up at the foggy morning sky...
"It's been a year since I've been living alone. Since those heartless, inhuman people destroyed my lovely family... My wife, my children, they're all gone.. I have no family now. I'm all alone in this world.. All alone..."
He looks down with a heavy heart, staring into the grass. Suddenly a soft, pinkish light coming from a distance on the left side of the yard catches his eyes. He looks at the left, being surprised. It's a small plant with just one pretty pink flower that is glowing.
"The Ariya flower...!"
Miraz walks to the plant, with eyes filled with slight hope and delight.
"The Ariya flower has bloomed! It has bloomed and it's glowing! The descendant is born! She is born! Finally.. The blessed daughter is born!"
He touches the flower lightly and smiles.
"Grow up well little girl"
At a hospital, a lovely woman on the bed is holding her newborn daughter who seems to have brown hair like her. Her husband sits beside her feeling as delightful as her. Her mother is here as well. Cute little baby. Just like a bright, blooming flower. A beautiful gift to the family.
"Mehaki" says the woman with a soft smile.
"She will grow up to be as pretty as a flower with sweet fragrance, her name is Mehaki"
The woman's mother cheerfully says, "She is indeed our Anami, our gift"
Those are in fact the meanings of the names. Born as a descendant of Inufa Zaman bloodline, where Mehaki's mother & granny belong from.
11 years later...
Mehaki, brown hair brown eyes, now a 6th grade student, walking on the way home from school with her friends - Himika, Nadia and Mahir. Their houses are close to one another. They all look excited.
Mehaki : Aren't you gonna join the language club, Himika?
Himika : Of course! What about you Nadia and Mahir?

Nadia : I'm in. I don't know about Mahir though.
Mahir : Hey! Why leave me out then? I'll join too.
Mehaki : Haha, that's great!
They wave at each other and part ways. Mehaki comes home, entering through the small garden in front of the house. It looks quite too simple and not so stuffed with a variety of flowers. She thinks it would be better to plant some. At home, she gets changed and goes to the kitchen where her mom Mrs. Jonaki is making snacks.
Mehaki : Hey mom!
Mrs. Jonaki : Hold on, snacks are almost ready!
Minaki (Age 7), black hair and black eyes like father, rushes into the kitchen after Mehaki. Mehrab (Age 3) follows. Mehrab's hair took after mom and eyes from dad. Both of the kids are restless for the snacks. At the table...
Mehaki : Mom, the garden kinda looks empty. I was thinking, how about we plant new flowers?
Mrs. Jonaki : That's not what I was thinking at all.
Mehaki : Huh?
Mrs. Jonaki : Instead, I was thinking, how about we plant big trees of flowers?
Mehaki : Wow! Mom, you're the best!
Mrs. Jonaki : And you're my lovely girl Anami.
Mehaki smiles. After the snacks are over, Minaki and Mehrab drag her along to play with them. Mehaki happily joins. Mrs. Jonaki smiles at them as they leave the kitchen. Such adorable children.
The next day...
Mehaki : It's Friday! And we're going to the nursery!
Mehaki happily gets ready in a rush. She slides down the handle of the stairs and has her meal quickly. She hurries her mom.
Mehaki : Come on, mom!
Mrs. Jonaki : Wait, dear..
Mehaki : Dad is gonna look after Minaki & Mehrab anyway.
Mrs. Jonaki : You're right, let's go then.
Mehaki : Let's go!
The nursery is a huge green house full of varieties of flowers, plants & trees put up for sale. Mehaki and her mom look for flowers from different sides. Mehaki is looking at a blue flower from a row. On the other side of the row, 2 boys are standing. Tori with blue hair & eyes, Tushar with yellow hair & eyes. They're looking at a plant of pink flowers, which are known as the Ariya flower.
Tori : Hey, look here.
Tushar : Isn't this the Ariya flower?
Tori : Yes, we have it in our garden as well.
Tushar : It's a magical flower.
Tori : Remember what dad said? If something or someone related to this flower comes near, it starts glowing.
Tushar : Dad also said that it is a rare flower and can't be found that easily.
Tori : True. There's only one plant here.
Tushar : Yeah.
The flowers start glowing. Two of them are surprised.
Tori : Ah!
Tushar : Whoaa! It's glowing!
Upon hearing them, two other boys come closer to them and take a look. Karu with green hair & eyes, Asroy with dark red hair & eyes. To mention they all are 13 years old. All of them are looking at the flower with curiosity.
Karu : Maybe someone related to it is near here.
Asroy : Someone like that really exists?
Karu : Of course!
Tori : Who could it be? Where is the person?
Asroy : How would I know?
Tushar : Can we finally meet the person related to Ariya flower?
Tori : It would be amazing if we could!
Asroy : Who...
Right then, Mehaki passes by the flower. The 4 boys are surprised to see her, as well as overjoyed. Tori thinks while looking at her...
"The Ariya flower..."
[A memory flashes from the past, little Tori looking at the pretty Ariya flower. A memory of little Tori softly holding the flower and smelling the fragrance.]
"The flower we took care of..."
[A memory of little Tori, Karu, Tushar and Asroy laughing joyfully and playing around the flower plant]
"Together..."
[A memory of Tori looking at the grown Ariya flower tree]
"That grew up so beautifully into a big tree."
The 4 boys keep looking at Mehaki. They feel the excitement of finally seeing the Ariya flower's related person with their own eyes...
"To think we finally met the person today.. It feels so amazing!"
