She sighed, as a lone tear trickled down her face, which she wiped away hastily. It had been long....so so long since she'd seen that perfect serene smile that had swept her off her feet everytime she saw it, those deep orbs of molten copper that had captivated her at the first glance & all together the man, the prince charming of her heart, the man who she was desperately in love with.
Her heart craved his company, his smiles, his chuckles, the warmth of his arms, his soft kisses that made her skin tingle for the whole day thereafter.However, she shook her head sadly, disgust filling her.... "Nahi...ab main Aarya ke yogya nahi...unki patni bankar rehne ke saubhagya ke yogya nahi...maleen hogayi hoon....uss..uss dusht ke karan..." She thought to herself, desperately holding in her sobs. All she could hope for was that her Aarya would move on from her, marry a woman much deserving of his love.
"Sairandhri!!!" The woman, who had been arranging hair combs in a thaal for the queen to choose looked up. Even though a thin, translucent veil covered her face, it was clear to one & all that a beauty like her was never born before nor would be again. She was far more stunning then a heavily decked queen in the plain robes of a daasi.

S: Haan, kaho Meera? Her melodious voice rang out, momentarily stunning the daasi, Meera who had addressed her. M: Uh..vo... Maharani Sudeshna ne tumhe smaran kiya hai.... She stuttered, still in a daze, wondering how this inhumanly perfect & gorgeous woman belonged to this earth.
Sairandhri got up, & began to walk towards the chambers of the queen, her anklets tinkling musically. S: Pranipat Maharani kya aadesh? She asked sweetly, making Sudeshna, the queen of Viratnagar smile.
Su: Arrey aao Sairandhri, aao! Mujhe suchna mili hai ki aaj hi mera priya bhai Keechak, yuddh mein vijay hokar padhaar raha hai. Uske swaagat hetu bhavya utsav ka aayojan karwaana hai. Mujhe gyaat hai ki tumhaara karya keval meri kesh sajja hai, kintu kya tum iss utsav ke prabandh mein sahayta karogi? Sudeshna asked hopefully.
