The palace was shrouded in an air of gloom as Emily's depression lingered, her attention solely fixated on baby Barfi.
Tanisha couldn't believe it. All her life, she had been the center of attention, the star of the show. But now, ever since that little brat Barfi was born, Emily had completely forgotten about her.
Tanisha tried everything to get her mother's attention - she threw tantrums, she broke things, she even tried to pull off a fake injury. But nothing worked. Emily's eyes were always on Barfi.
One day, Tanisha had had enough. She decided to take matters into her own hands. She snuck into Barfi's room and started making funny faces at him, hoping to get a reaction out of him. But all Barfi did was gurgle and coo.
Tanisha was getting desperate. She grabbed a toy and shook it right in front of Barfi's face, but still, he didn't budge. That's when Tanisha had an idea - a devious, hilarious idea.
She took Barfi's diaper off and tickled his little tummy. And that's when it happened. Barfi let out a loud, explosive fart, followed by a stream of pee that soaked Tanisha from head to toe.
Emily rushed into the room, alarmed by the commotion. But when she saw Tanisha covered in pee and giggling uncontrollably, she couldn't help but laugh too. From that day on, Tanisha realized that sometimes, you just have to let go and have a good laugh.
Emily burst into laughter, unable to contain herself at the ridiculous sight of Tanisha covered in pee. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to catch her breath.
Tanisha, although initially shocked and embarrassed, couldn't help but join in the laughter. She wiped the pee off her face and managed a sheepish grin. "Well, I guess that's one way to get your attention, Mom."
Emily nodded, still chuckling. "You certainly got my attention, Tanisha. I'm sorry I've been so focused on Barfi. It's just that he's so little and needs a lot of care right now. But that doesn't mean I love you any less."
Tanisha's face softened, and she approached Emily, giving her a big hug. "I know, Mom. It's just hard sometimes, you know? But I love Barfi too, and I want to be the best big sister I can be."

Emily hugged her back tightly. "And you already are, my darling. You have such a bright and playful spirit. We'll find a balance, I promise."
As they continued to embrace, both Emily and Tanisha felt a weight lifted off their shoulders. They realized that laughter and open communication were the keys to overcoming any challenges they faced as a family.
From that day forward, Emily made sure to spend quality time with both Barfi and Tanisha, ensuring they each received the attention and love they deserved. And Tanisha, well, she never missed an opportunity to remind her family about the infamous "pee incident," turning it into a hilarious family story that would be retold for years to come.
And so, in the midst of their laughter and shared stories, Emily and Tanisha discovered that even in the darkest times, a little bit of humor could brighten their days and strengthen their family bonds in ways they never imagined possible.

After leaving the Pensavalia and coming to kingdom, Neha has only one goal in her mind to survive and protect Barfi.
Neha paced through the palace, deep in thought. "I need a brilliant plan to protect Emily's children," she whispered to herself, her mind buzzing with ideas.
With each step, she grew more determined. "Leaving the kingdom won't do. I need a clever strategy to outwit the queen."
With a spark of inspiration, Neha's eyes gleamed. "Ah, the palace library! A treasure trove of knowledge awaits. Legends, historical accounts, forbidden texts... Surely within those hallowed pages lie the secrets I seek."
She meticulously sifted through the shelves, her fingers delicately caressing each book. "Heroes who defied the odds, their tales of courage and resourcefulness... I shall study their exploits, seeking inspiration in their brilliance."
Days turned into weeks as Neha immersed herself in her research, her thirst for knowledge unquenchable. Hidden passages, forgotten relics, whispered rumors—she uncovered them all. The puzzle pieces of a grand plan began to align.
And then, like a beacon in the night, she stumbled upon a old historic record. Its weathered pages spoke of a clandestine alliance—a covert network of rebels and outcasts who embraced ancient magic and wielded their profound understanding of the kingdom's intricacies.
As Neha's fingertips traced the faded words, her mind raced with possibilities. "These rebels possess formidable abilities, the tools of deception at their disposal. To gain their trust, I must prove myself worthy, despite lacking their magical prowess."
Neha's voice resonated with determination, her eyes ablaze with unwavering conviction. "Why should I concern myself with magic when my intellect is my true power? I will delve deep into their rich history, immerse myself in their customs, and unravel the enigmatic secrets of their clandestine society. Only then will I dare to approach them, armed with an offer that will ignite a spark of curiosity within their astute minds."
