▪︎Amrit▪︎ I sat on the bed angrily. I couldn't get my mind off Gulmohor Begum's words. Why did she have to tell me all that? She has spent all her life in misery and she wants me to do the same. I thought she was a mature, sensible woman but I was so wrong. "Begam Sahiba, milk." Kesar extended a glass of milk to me. "Meera, Kesar? Do you people think the same?" Meera understood what I was talking about. She sat on the floor and looked up to me and said, "Begam Sahiba, I do not want to hurt you but do you think the Sultan would forget all his customs, traditions that were followed by his respected ancestors in just one day? You remember the time when during the ceremony you refused to become an honour Bride? How everyone was angry and outraged. The Royals as well as the common people.
