She was sitting on the giant bed in her extra heavy weddinng dress and gold ornements. Yes, It's her wedding night today. And moreover today she became a queen , while only yesterday she was the subject of the king of Maharashtra . She was supposed to be happy. But she's not. She is feeling suffocated . She felt like being used. The blood drops of her injured heart was flowing down from her eyes. Her mind travelled back few days back.

A oridinary village girl with curly hair was picking mangoes from trees with her friends and running tow and fro laughing aloud escaping from the garden owner . Her curly hair was bouncing in the wind when she was running . The earrings were shinning in the sunlight and and her face was looking bright . Suddenly she stopped running seeing the king. As she knew the king to be strict she was scared if he was angry on her behaviour . She bowed and stood there silently , so did her friends. She. thought she saw a little smile on his face before she bowed which he hide to avoid her gaze . He went from there without a word and she kept looking at his way untill his horse was vanished from her eyesight with an unknown feeling she feels everytime looking at him.
" Shehensha Abhimayun dekhnemai kafi accha hai na Tara ? " One of her friends asked.
" Han wo toh hai. " Tara said still looking at his way. seeing this her friend pushed her with her arm .
" Keya baat hai. Tara? Tujhe unse mohabbat toh nahi hogeya na? Waise itna. accha hai dekhnemai pasand ana hee hai. " her friend said in a teasing tone.
" Keya kuch bhi. Aur dekhnemai accha hai toh keya hua? Kitna khadush hai . Na kabhi kisise dil kholke baat karta hai aur na kabhi kisipe gussa karta hai. Bas khanjos jaise shakal banake rakhta hai. Hume toh iss baat ka bhi shak hai ki inhe muskuraneka matlab bhi pata hai ye nahi. " Tara said making faces .
" Hmm baat toh tune sahi kaha hai. " Her friend said.
" Arey bhag. Wo malik araha hai. " saying this they all again started. running and laughing , unawar of the fact that King. Abhimayiun was still watching her with a eversoft. and sweet smile on his face.

Oneday Tara came back home and found the environment of her house little different . All were looking really happy and overjoyed . When her mother saw her she came to her with a big smile and hugged her tight .
" Badhai ho beta. Shehensha Abhimayun khud aya tha yaha vivah ke prastab leke. Unhe tujse vivah karna hai. Beti teri kismat toh chamak geyi. " Her mother said in happy tears. and kissed her forrhead.
Tara was shocked and jearked back.
" Ye aap keya keherahe hai ma? Apne ekbar bhi hume puchna zaruri nahi samjhi . Hume nahi karna hai unse vivah. " Tara said shocked.
" Kintu ismai burai keya hai? Shehensha kitni accha insaan hai . Shehensha hoke apni praja se vivah karna chahta hai jab ki koi bhi shhensha aisa soch bhi nahi sakte. Tujhe unse keya aitraz hai. " Her mom tried to touch her head but she jearked.
" Kintu ma hume wo nahi pasand. Hume koi aise insaan se vivah nahi karni hai jise muskurana bhi nahi ata. Jo itna khadus hai. Nahi pasand hume wo. " She said and went. to her room angrily. Here her mom was tensed.

Next day Tara somehow gathered some courage and without telling anything to her family she went to the palace . The gurds didn't stop her , rather they showed her respect like a queen. It took her few second to understand the matter. She went in with an angry face and directly went and stood before the court without any obstacle on her way. The polite behaviour of the gurds towards her made her feel different like a queen , about which she was confused that she was liking that feeling or not.
" Pranam shehenshah " She greeted him.
king Abhimayun excused himself from the court and took her outside.
" kahiye aapko keya kehena hai. " He said without any feelings.
" Aapne humse vivah karneka iccha peakash ki hai ? " She asked looking towards different direction .
" Ji haan. " He said determined .
" Kintu hume aapse vivah nahi karni. " she said angrily.
" Toh ismai hum keya kar sakte hai ? " King. Abhimayun said without any emotion.
" Shehenshah aap samajhna keu nahi chahte hai. Hume aapse vivah karneka iccha nahi hai. Iss rishte se hum khush nahi hai. " She tried to explain him while she was in tears.
" Kintu hum aapse vivah karna chahte hai. Aur ekbar hum kehe dia ye vivah hogi matlab hhogi. " He said stricly .
" Kintu shehensah...
" Shehensha hum hai. Meri praja hoke tum mere hukum tal nahi sakte. " Saying this he went from there leaving her in tears.

She came back to earth with a sound in the room. She wipped the tears from her eyes and sat straight .
" Ekantta " ( privacy) He shouted and the gurds went from the doorway.
She was looking scared and nervous . Her heart was thumbing thinking negetive things . But Abhimayun silently removed his heavy cloaths crown and went to bed beside her. He took a dozen of pillows and started arrenging them on the middle of the bed which made her amazed .
" Ye aap keya karrahe hai shehenshah ? " She asked amazed.
Abhimayun looked up at her and gave a eversoft and sweet smile which made her more surprised.
" Begum Tara , jis din aapko sahi lage aap ye takia ( pillow) hata dena. Tab tak ye yahi rahenge. Subh ratri. " He smiled at her once again and slept leaving her surprised .
