Prologue

Alankriti. A Tamil, Hindu girl. A girl who mesmerized everyone with her beauty. She lost her parents at a young age in an accident. An accident that changed her life. her mum was a dance teacher and her dad was a carpenter. They lived a very simple life. She had nowhere to go after her parents died. no one would accept her. Her mum and dad eloped and their relatives abandoned them ever since. Even after their death, they were not ready to forgive. She was only 10 when she lost her family. She knocked on people's houses and people were ready to take her in but in return for her to fulfill their desires. like that she wandered around the streets with a beige sack with all her belongings, which were very less.

Parallely, The empress Madhavi was devastated after finding out that she would not be able to give birth to a child. She and the emperor wanted a daughter badly. Emperor Akshar and empress Madhavi were the rulers of the pink city in India. Jaipur. They were highly respected. One day, they went to a smaller town in Jaipur, where the Parvati temple was located. The temple was the symbol of love. It was a beautiful site to see. Just like that, they went with minimal guards and they sat down in the special seating area to watch the performances.

A young girl started to dance. Her eyes were powerful yet soft and her features were perfect. Her hair was long and her body was melting into the music. Madhavi and Akshar looked at each other. When they found out that the girl was an orphan, they decided then and there that she would be their princess. Madhavi asked her assistant for the girl's name. He replied "Alankriti". She smiled in response. It was a beautiful name. The couple approached Alankriti with a warm smile and asked her if she was ok to join their family.

For Alankriti this was no small thing. She was no longer going to be alone. She agreed instantly and Madhvi pulled her into a hug immediately and said "welcome home princess". News broke out as the lost princess is finally found. The couple didn't want to say that she was adopted, in their eyes, she was their daughter who finally found her way to them. Alankriti was their lost princess.

Akshar and Madhavi were Tamil and they were Hindus as well so Alankriti fitted in well. she was treated like a queen. Alankriti still kept her old belongings as a reminder of her past, her real parents. eventually, at the age of 13, she started to call them amma and appa. No one ever made her feel left out, in everyones eyes, she was their princess. Alankriti grew extremely close to her new grandma, Parvathi. Parvathi taught Alankriti about the royal family and helped her fulfill all her wishes. she was trained in all Indian dances and she was trained in Carnatic singing as well. She got educated, unlike many other girls her age. Madhavi was a strong personality who was way ahead of her time. she believed that all girls should have the right to study, unlike herself. Alankriti grew up to be a beautiful girl. she was gorgeous. every girl in the city would envy her for her beauty and talent. she is now 24 and is the apple of everyone's eye.

Ishaan. A handsome boy. He is charming, cute, and kind-hearted. He is Tamil and is a Muslim. Ishaan hated royalty so he ran away from it. Ishaan is the son of Noor Jahan and Zarif Mohamed. The rulers of Agra. Ishaan wanted to be a free bird and after the partition, his family went through a lot he wanted to escape royalty so he ran away to Lucknow and has been missing for 2 years now. His mother knows where he is but keeps it a secret to keep her son happy. Noor was scared of Zarif finding out because Zarif was outraged after he found out that Ishaan escaped. Zarif then made it clear to everyone in the palace that Ishaan was no longer his son and that his name should no longer be mentioned. Now Zarif is a good person who just had high hopes for his son. Deep down Zarif misses his son badly. the moments they spent together were all so special to him. Noor misses Ishaan as well. He was everyone's favorite.

Ishaan was a journalist. he loved writing articles and travelling. He owned a newspaper company called "The people's voice". He traveled all around India to hear and collect stories. No one recognized him as a prince as Zarif and Noor never exposed him to the media. Ishaan never liked the barrier of religion. He thought the whole partition was stupid. Even though India became independent, the royalty didn't disappear. they were still ruling, except now they worked with the central government.

Ishaan was 26 years old now. He was currently in Lucknow deciding on a place to go next. he was in a dilemma between Jaipur and Hyderabad.
