"Why don't you love me?" I asked, with tears in my eyes.

"I don't want to talk about this right now." He said and went away. I was left alone. Once again. I was on the verge of tears.

Why me? If he loved his first wife so much, then why marry me? I did not beg him to do so! Why? Why did he ruin my whole life?

He spends all his time in Queen Shachi's Raanivaas. I can't even remember the last time he spent some time with me.

Maybe there is some shortcoming in me. Maybe I don't care for him the way Shachi does. Maybe I'm just a symbol of the treaty between our kingdom and his kingdom. This list of maybe's will never end... until I find out the reason behind this behaviour of his.

All kinds of thoughts engulfed me as tears left my eyes. There I sat, beside my bed, crying, and wondering what was my fault.

That is when Shachi came into my room and hugged me tight. I cried my heart out. She consoled me. Was this my destiny?
