"Here, Meena, take it. It's a small token of my love for you."
"I cannot take it, my prince."
"Why not?"
"Because… If you were just a man and I was just woman, maybe..."
"But I am a man!"
"I'm sorry; you still a boy and a prince at that."
"So? You are a girl…"
"I am a woman, Prince Soma, and your servant. This cannot be!"
"But…"
"You can kiss me all you want; it will not change things…"
"Please, Meena…"
"Do not beg; it unseemly for a prince to fall on his knees before a servant. Now get up!"
"But I love you… why can you not see that?"
"All I see is something that would never work. Besides, your parents will find you a suitable woman soon enough. Now I must get back to my work."
"Please… do not go, Meena."
"I'm sorry, I must."
"Please…"
"I do not love you that way… I cannot love you that way! So please, now I beg you, please forget this nonsense…"
"I will never forget…"
"Do not kiss me; it will only make it worse…"
"I kiss you because I love you."
"Please, Prince Soma, do not say such things…"
"I say them because they are true…"
"But you cannot love me…"
"But I do… and since I do not feel like arguing with you over it, I will go now with the hope that you will change your mind. No, keep it… Even if you do not love me; keep it as a token from one who loves you with all his heart…"
"You should go, I have work to do, so good bye, my prince…"
"Good bye, my beloved Meena. I shall see you later."
"Indeed you will..."
