"Arya!"
" Aayi ( coming ) "

ARYA the girl with Big dreams and an even bigger heart , the girl who wants to be more than what people expect her to be , the girl who wants to fly high and free like a bird in the sky , the girl who has everything she needs but doesn't have the only thing she wants , the freedom to be who she wanna be .

Jaipur , Rajasthan , India
1864

"ARYA !"
"Aayi (coming)"
"Kaha thi tu , mai tera kab se intezar kar rhi hu ( where were you ? I have been waiting for you )
" Vo mai - um kabutaro ko dana dene gyi thi ( i was - um feeding the pigeons) "
" Mehal me shaadi hai or tu kabutaro ko dana deri h? ( there's a wedding in the palace and you are feeding the pigeons?)"
" Maaf karna sara jiji (sorry sara [sister]) "
"Chal vo chod , tujhe pita ji bula rahe the , jaldi ja varna dant padegi ( leave it , you know what father was asking for you , go quickly or you'll be scolded )"
"Thik hai (alright)"

ARYA a girl who is "too curious" for the people around her , she is treated as more of a burden by her father , is always felt alone specially after her mom's death , the only person she could somewhat talk to was her sister SARA but now she's getting married , leaving her alone all by herself , but the only thing that was holding her still right now was hope , hope to make her mother proud, hope to actually be liked by her father , hope to be independent and hope to inspire ,the only thing she loved more than her family was her books , to be exact , English books . Now you might be wondering what's the problem here , well girls weren't exactly allowed to read , write, learn , not even Hindi . So, learning English was equal to a sin . She used to go to the part of the palace where her mother used to live , there was a pool with lily in it , she used to sit there for hours and learn English , she loved how free women were over there , she wanted the same freedom but she knew it was nearly impossible for her to do it without hurting someone she loves , her father. All she wanted to do was be free but it's not gonna be easy and she knew it ....
