Mother had a dream. She placed her daughter at the center of her dreams. She woke up from sleep and sat in front of the bicycle. And, by pedaling herself, she steered the path of her dreams. Feet were tripped and hurt.

Mother used to apply ointment for pain. But she wouldn't allow it to stop. The daughter who was walking in her mother's dream wanted to escape and return home. 

Unwillingly, without realizing it, his mother's desire has become his desire. A mother's dream has become her dream. That dream chose struggle. And after a series of defeats, he also found a point of success. Anjana Ranamar (23), the goal keeper of the Nepal women's football team, sometimes gets a question, 'If everyone participates in the success of the sports life, who will be left out the most?' With a smile on her face, she can confidently say, 'To my mother...'

She remembers a bicycle rolling in the cold winter plains and she is stuck, 'I don't want to go. If you didn't pick it up? If you didn't take it on a bicycle? Why not buy boots to protect your sore feet? Where was I now? Perhaps she was living the life of a housewife in the village.' Anjana's smiling eyelashes fluttered and memories began to flow from her eyes. She integrates the winning moments and celebrations of sports life and says, 'All the success of my life is attributed to my mother.' Anjana was born in 2058 after two brothers and one sister. Mother used to say from a very young age, 'Kanchi, you were born the year the king died.' Even two years after Anjana's birth, they did not have their own home. Narrating the pain of not having a home, my mother used to say, 'There was a lot of scarcity at that time. Cut your bale and raise you.' 

Brother, sister and Anjana used to sit around the stove inside the house to listen to their mother. Mother used to tell stories of love with father, coming of children and lack. In the same school, Kshetra Bahadur studied in class 8, Sushila in class five. One day Kshetra Bahadur wore a new shirt and went to school. He had a fight with Sushila at school. Sushila tore the shirt. Kshetra Bahadur beat Sushila, Sushila cried. Baama's relationship, which started as a fight, suddenly took the shape of love. After that, Bae sent Mami to Kathmandu. And both of them started working in a carpet factory,' Anjana tells her mother's story in her own style.

Sushila and Kshetra Bahadur, who returned to the village after a few years, had two sons. Kshetra Bahadur was now waiting for his daughter. Sister Anjali was born without saying. Bale called the neighbor for food saying that Lakshmi was born. After Anjali, parents did not want another child. However, Anjana was born in her mother's womb. 'Only one bedroom, only one bed. Small cooking stove nearby. Mummy is having trouble at night by the stove. You have given birth to me without anyone's help,” says Anjana about her entry into the earth.

The little daughter is very excited. On top of that, going to school was like chewing on an iron chin for Anjana. Sometimes she used to play in the yard. Sometimes she asked for money and left. "Mummy used to start chasing with Sirkna and then she would run away." Mami used to come back, I used to come after Mami again,” she says, clearing the fog of memories. Sushila had a habit of getting up early and drinking tea at the shop near the house. While drinking tea like that, she suddenly saw young girls going somewhere. After seeing her regularly, she asked her neighbor, 'Where do they go?' Jo was sleeping soundly on the bed at that time. For him, there was nothing else to think about except school, friends and home. At that time, footballer Anu Lama's name was very popular in Rautahat. She probably vowed in her heart, 'My daughter will also have the same name.' Anjana was studying in class 4. One day at school, friends told Anjana, "Your mom told you to go play football with us in the morning." Why did Anjana go! Tarin said, "Come on, I won't go." It's fun here.'

One day the mother broke Anjana's sleep in the morning. And she started drinking tea. With his mother's encouragement, he started going to learn football on a bicycle with his friends. But before playing, you always have to remove the dirt from the field, blisters will arise all over your hands. Barefoot on top of that. Showing her red hands to her mother, she cried, "I won't go." The teacher makes you pick things up, you just shout.' From the next day, the mother began to take the bicycle by herself. Friends had shoes on their feet. There were nice jerseys. She insisted on not going anymore after the sores on her bare feet healed. Whatever happens. To know, to know,' she sat stubbornly like this for a month. 

Ba had no money at that time. Sushila asks Dai Maneka for money and buys Anjana boots and a jersey. On the day of the boots and jersey, Anjana's heart flew towards the field. After that, his stubbornness disappeared. My mind stayed on football. She started living the football life.

Initially, Anjana did not get to play from Rautahat. There were senior sisters, it was difficult to get a turn. Like him, Sana got to play from Sarlahi. At first she played as a striker. One day Guru said, 'Your height is good, play goalkeeper.' She didn't agree. Mother reminded and s. Anjana did not know any rules when she played goalkeeper for the first time. "Knowledge increased gradually, the Guru continued to teach," says Anjana.

Sarlahi team once they beat Kathmandu. Anjana's footwork was good. The Guru gave a lot of training. His shooting was also good. "I'm the one to hold, I'm the one to hit." I caught everyone's eyes,'' she says about Vijay's opening moment. After defeating Kathmandu 2-0, she called her mother and expressed her happiness. Sushila seemed to have conquered herself. The

then fell to Rautahat. What did they think of the senior sisters! Scored five goals. However, after playing two matches, Anjana was selected to go to Kathmandu. I had heard that there are big houses in Kathmandu, cars are moving. I would also be able to go to that city,' she burst out. She told her mother. Mother was stunned. The mother's heart rejoiced when her daughter got to play football in the city where they went to work. While going to Kathmandu, she handed over five hundred to her daughter with tears of joy in her eyes. And, she said, 'You should be a big man by playing a daughter. Anu Lama should be like a sister.'

While he was staying in a closed camp in Kathmandu, he got a full body rash. Neither mother nor father. She started crying in panic. My mother kept reminding me over the phone. If you get selected, you can go abroad. They could play with foreigners. She was afraid, "Wishes won't come true!" Many friends were thrown away. His turn came. She prayed to her mother. The name came. She told her mother jumping with joy, "Mommy, I'm going abroad." For the first time, someone in their family was boarding a plane, someone was going abroad. Both Baama's eyes were wet with happiness. Anjanas flew to Uzbekistan to play the Under-14 Cup. Ba reminded me on the phone, "Don't be afraid when boarding the plane. I will pretend once, I will take Pashupati's name. But after the plane took off, the fear was uncontrollable. Inside the plane, all the friends started crying.  The

^{game was not expected. They suffered heavy defeats against India and Bangladesh. Everyone cried when they were defeated. Coach recalled. While returning home, Anjana took her mother to buy food from Balkhu. The mother shared it with the neighbor and said, 'My daughter brought it.' Then Anjana played the Coca-Cola Cup from Rautahat for the first time.} 

They won the match, Anjana won the best goalkeeper award.

Anjana took the Pradhan Senapati Cup played as a 'turning point'. The coach believed when the first match was against the district. she played They won and entered the semi-finals. In the match against Army Club, the coach trusted Anjana as the goalkeeper. Both matches ended 2-2. At that time, Anjana saved two goals in Tribeca. "It was the first time the district defeated the departmental team with 3 saves," says Anjana. After that, the mother called from home and told her, "Daughter, everyone is yelling at you in Rautahat." The

was with APF in the final. They scored 1 goal. APF scored 2 goals. Even when she lost, Anjana's eyes were happy. Because Anu Didi was also in that team. "Starting football after hearing Anu Lama's name, playing with that man was like winning the World Cup," she says proudly. Anjana won the best goalkeeper award at that time too. 10,000 and got a trophy. Bought a new bicycle for 8,000, gave 2,000 to her mother. She was then selected for the close camp for the Saf Games. The happiness of appearing in the national team was not small for Anjana and her family. When two days later, a large photograph of him was printed in the Rashtriya Daily under the title 'Kanchi Goalkeeper'. That moment brought an upheaval in family happiness.

Selecting a 14-year-old goalkeeper in the national team was a huge thing in itself. But after the photo came, even the relatives who were far away started getting closer. Our relatives were rich. They ignored us when we were dealing with the shortage of cuttings,” she recounts. Those relatives also started calling the mother and saying, "The photo appeared in the magazine, our daughter is there." "Mummy had lovingly maintained that she didn't have to wear this jersey," she recalls.  In the days following the

national team, the name and photo kept popping up in magazines. After reaching home, she looked into the eyes of her father, brother, sister and mother. Anjana felt as if she had conquered the world when she saw the tears of happiness.

A door of new opportunities opened in Anjana's life. But she didn't agree. An offer was coming from the Army football team. Rautahat's coach reminded Anjana, 'You are young now. Don't talk about going to Kathmandu and playing for the army right now. Now we have to build a good team in Rautahat.' Anjana did not want to leave home and go to Kathmandu. She went home and told her family, "I want to stay with you." I don't go to Kathmandu. If I go, I will not be able to come back. He has said that the army chief will come. My daughter is small, I will tell you not to send it.'  Without saying

, the army representative came to Anjana's house. What Anjana said, the parents agreed, 'My daughter is young...' That representative was Magar. Grandfather knew Magar language at home. He spoke to his grandfather in Magar language. Suddenly the grandfather agreed. Who will cut the words of the grandfather? The contract paper was signed at home. An agreement was made to come to Kathmandu during the Games or stay in Chapur for training until the SEE is over," recalls Anjana.

Anjana came to Kathmandu after SEE. After a few months, homesickness began to haunt me. She was counting down the days to go home. In the beginning, I used to ask my sisters to drive me to Balkhu. After gradually getting used to it, I used to keep the phone saying 'I have gone to Rautahat'. If I was going to listen to the sirs, I would have been told not to go,'' she narrates.

The days in Kathmandu remained healthy for Anjana for a long time. The reason, the memory of the mother. At that time, even seeing someone walking with their mothers made her feel heavy. She cried alone. Even when she was growing up, her mother used to apply oil on her head and make it hot. When he remembered that, he would get goosebumps. The mother used to cry thinking about her younger daughter who was far away. Sushila was pained to see the scenes of her daughter falling while holding the ball on Facebook and reels.

Last year, Anjana got married to Aviral Lama. One day she reached home to announce the decision of marriage. I decided to get married. What is your opinion on this?' she asked confidently. Mother and sister started crying. ``I have to feed until the evening, my sister, who is robbing me, comes with the matter of marriage. "Kanchi has not been your time," said sister crying. Anjana did not waver from her decision. Later he got married with everyone's consent. 

After marriage, Anjana became less daughter-in-law and more daughter-in-law for her mother-in-law. She became very cute. She who never watched games started watching games regularly. She started to understand. Today, Anjana feels, 'I started to find my mother's love again, which I had been missing for a long time.' Anjana wanted her parents to watch football in the stadium. which was not completed. But the mummy over there has not missed a single game. He is my biggest fan and supporter,' says Anjana, 'he always tells me to focus on the game. You have to love.

Four years ago, Anjana feels that the moment when she became the captain of the Under-19 team and introduced the country to the outside world is unforgettable. The other one was a penalty save against India in the SAFF Championship of the national women's team. At that time, Nepal had conquered India. Anjana remembers the important moment, "There were countless people in the stadium at that time. But I had no one in mind. It was that I had to stop this ball.'

Anjana, who initially won the coach's trust, won the hearts of all Nepalis. Their matches were watched with projectors in the village. After winning, Ba happily said, 'Look, I taught you to stop the penalty. That's why you shaved .' Anjana believes Baa's words to be true. She adds, 'Father used to teach what the coach did not teach. He used to say, look in the eyes of the penalty taker, look at the feet. Now, father and mother are respected in the whole village.

What did Anjana miss because of football, I don't know. But the list of received lists is long. She visited many countries and got to know the country. Got many fans, well-wishers. When he lost, he got the hearts to cry together, when he won, he got the whole feeling of winning the country. And the mother had dreamed of all the things. Anjana digs out the sautees her mother was whispering in the interlude of memories. And, she says, "One of my mother's dreams has been fulfilled." Anjana's dream has not yet been fulfilled. He thinks, "Dreams never end." You have to see it, it will be completed.'
