Love and The HAREM

Chapter 22

||Empress Parizat Banu Sultana||

When everyone left the room ,Emperor sat at the bed looking at kunwari bai sa petite figure who was still unconscious ,she was looking fragile, so naive.

He thought about past few months,after marrying her he left her Gazini palace with all those concubines alone,even when she arrived in Kabul he didn't pay enough attention to her.It was true that just few days ago he has returned from a war but instead of spending sometimes with her he didn't even visit,and left alone visit ,he didn't even ask if she was okay .He thought how could he do this kind of unjustice to a woman with whom he has married forcefully with his own will.He had forced her to marry him,killed her Father, took her from her palace to a new place where she is foreign to everyone here, everything is new for her ,from culture to food habit, from religion to mindset,from dresses to jewelleries, almost everything. He thought about the things she may have gone through to adjust in this palace.He genuinely felt bad for her,he sighed and thought she doesn't deserve what fate has done to her.She deserved to be treated like any other wife of emperor ,she too has same right as his other two wives and he thought that she shouldn't feel lonely and ignored here, looking at her he smiled ,she is beautiful he thought,he tugged hair on her face behind her ear and stood up with a stern face.He came out of her chamber and walked toward empress's chamber .

After getting to know that Emperor is heading toward her chamber ,empress composed herself and sat on the bed waiting for him.Looking at her face at that time nobody could guess the same lady was crying few minutes ago.She was nervous recalling her last encounter with him,tears filled her eyes when those memories crossed her mind but somehow she controlled herself from breaking down.She thought how could she feel so nervous with the same person she used to be the most comfortable once.How much he has been changed now? She felt like she doesn't know that person he is someone else now.Suddenly she heard guards announcing emperor's arrival she stood up from her place in nervousness . Emperor entered her chamber, her heart started throbbing fast,she did salaam to emperor , Emperor ignored her salaam .Emperor sat on the sofa looking at her as if he was reading her ,he had a straight face,Empress asked if he will drink some water he shook his head as if he was bored .She was about to seat on bed when suddenly emperor ordered her to come near him,She started trembling but she didn't show how nervous she was by her face.She came near him he signalled her with his hand to sit on his lap,she sat ,he could feel she was trembling ,he smirked then kept his hand on one of her sholder and she almost flinched ,then emperor could not control his evil laugh,he started menacingly and then insulted her by saying I'm not touching you for the first time then why are you behaving like a virgin.She was shocked to hear such things from her husband ,all the tears she was controlling till now fell from her eyes .She turned to look at his face to find a single trace of regret but it was only hatred,pure hatred that she could find ,he smirked looking at her red eyes filled with tears, suddenly something crossed his mind ,Before she could even wipe her cheeks he angrily threw her on cold floor ,she fell at the floor with so much force that she banged her head with the floor and blood oozed from her head,she screamed in pain but suddenly realising something she put her right hand on her mouth so that nobody could hear her. Emperor was about to lift her,he didn't want to bang her head on floor,he regretted throwing her like that,he knew how fragile empress was but something in his mind stopped him, empress was sobbing at that time.

He clinched his jaw to control his anger,he stood up from his position and move forward to reach the door completely ignoring the Empress and said " It has been almost six months since I married princess Kunwari,I think It is right time for us to move forward in this relationship,I want heir as soon as possible,It is your duty as a nice empress to prepare her for consummation ,try to make her healthy,as she is my first wife,It is her duty to give me heir first.I thought you would manage it by yourself but since you have completely forgotten about your duties ,I needed to remind you ..

He didn't look her back and left .
Empress was still lying on floor sobbing badly .It was her head that was bleeding but it was her heart that was hurting .Head maid entered the chamber and shocked to see her mistress lying on floor in that condition.She ran to pick her up.Empress what happened with you,empress hugged head maid and started crying uncontrollably.Head maid tried to calm her but she was sobbing and her fragile body was trembling .Head maid couldn't control her tears,she started weeping as well ,how could she not when the woman in her embrace was the same little girl she looked after from her childhood,whom she had fed her own milk.She wiped tears from her cheeks and said "Calm Youself child let me bandage your head first!!

But empress stopped her saying,"Let it bleed ahyamma let it bleed,I don't want to live anymore The only person I ever Loved hates me, he doesn't love me anymore and I don't know what I have done to deserve this I always loved him and wanted him as my husband,he loved me too ahyamma I had seen that love for me in his eyes but now I only see hatred for me in his eyes he doesn't care about me anymore he just hate me otherwise he would have never humiliated me in this way shahanshah has asked me to prepare Kunwari bai for consummation so that she could give him his hier,he want a heir from her not from me,he doesn't care about how do I feel ,he threw me on the floor like a filthy garbage,this is what he thinks about me now!!,What I did wrong to deserve this from him ahyamma ?what is my fault?,she cried louder".
