How does it feel when someday you get to know your whole existence was fake, your mother was never yours, your family is not yours..you are just a lost piece of the puzzle, your love was never yours, all promises, all actions were just a facade, an illusion, he just uses her and throws her but she is not what he thinks her to be.
Splashing water on her face again and again she thinks about all the events that took place today, she touches her hair partition and rubbed it vigorously trying to erase every single particle, this means nothing...nothing at all for her, the tears falling down her cheeks mixed with the water, she pours water on herself till the time she was not satisfied, changing into a new set of clothes she looked at herself in the small hand mirror, her eyes look puffed, and her face dull, her reflection laughing and smirking on her destiny.
" shehnaaz beta darwaza khol na meri Jaan, khuch khaya nh hai tune kal se beta" vaishanvi's broken voice reaches into her ears as her feet move to open the door.
" Ye kya halat bana li hai tune apni, aa idhar aa aaj mein tujhe apne haatho se khana khilati hu," she said caressing her face lovingly and making her sit on the bed.
" ye le muh khol, maine teri manpasand laal mirch aur lehsun ki chutney bnai hai" Shehnaaz just looked at her with so much emotion.
" Aapne bhi praya kar dia mujhe" she accused her mother who shook her head in denial.
" kaise baat kr rhi hai.."
" Toh neeche kyu bethi hai aap, mein koi rajkumari nh hu...nh hu mein koi rajkumari, aap meri Amma hai aur Ratan baba mere baba hai, Amar bahi hi mere sage bahi hai, hena?? Ye sb kese ho skta hai, bole na maine koi jhooth toh nh jeeya hai itne saalo se" she asked throwing herself in her mother's warmth and crying her heart out, she rubs her back crying with her, she didn't give her birth but she never treated her differently, she was always hers, her beautiful, adorable angel.
"Ye sach mein nh badal skti beta ki tum ek rajgharane ka khoon ho, isiliye humesa gaanv ki har ladki se alag rahi ho, alag shauk rhe hai, alg jazbaa hai lekin ye bhi sach hai ki tum meri aur ratan ki beti ho, aur humesa rhogi, maine bhale tumhe janam nh dia hai par apni zindagi se zyada pyar krti hu aur syd Amar se bhi zyada" she told her softly.
" toh unhone kyu chor dia Amma mujje, btaye??"
" Unhone nh chora beta, nh chora...Woh toh tumhe aaj tak dhoond rhe hai lekin Mein bas Ratan ka waada nibha rhi thi jo unhone tumari Ammi se kia tha...tumhe surakshit rkhne ka" she told her everything about how Ratan found her, how she became their daughter.
" Apne yeh baat mujhse chupai Amma, acha nh kia..bilkul bhi, agar hume pta hota toh syd aaj ye sb nh hua hota" Amar showed his displeasure, he very well knows about his rivalry and the hate he has for the king of jodhpur deeply into his heart.
" Amar tum kisi bhi tarah Jodhpur ye sandesha bhijwa do" vaishnavi ordered her son.
" Amma apko lagta hai ab tak ye baat jodhpur nh phuchi hogi, and shehnaaz is my sister and I will take care of her..not anyone else," he voiced out with gritted teeth.

" lagta hai bahi sa apko woh chize zyada pasand hai jispe humari nazar hoti hai" Randhir commented followed by a chuckle.
" aisa hai, hume laga tumhe humesa woh chiye hota hai jo humara hai" Sidharth replied smiling at him sweetly.
" Ab kya kare apk pasand hi aise hai waise Shehnaaz ko hum bhabhi sa bulaye ya fir...sirf shehnaaz, waise jaise apne vivah kiya hai woh mana bhi jayega, hume phuchna padega pandit ji se, kya hai na agr nh toh hum abhi bhi unka haath thamne ke liye tayar hai bada dil hai na humara" Randhir said joining his hand in front of Chamunda maa.
" Vivah kese bhi hua ho, patni hai woh humari, aur aage se humari patni ke baare mein ek bhi galat sabd apne muh se nikala toh humse bura koi nh hoga" he said turning to face him and pat his shoulders slightly squeezing them at last.
" Aapne unke saath acha nh kia" Nandni voiced out standing beside him at evening on the terrace of the palace.
" Humne apse phucha" he answered coldly examining his state.
" Nh..par galat ko galat kehne ka haq hai humare paas, apne dhukh phuchaya hai unko," She further added.
" Nandni aap apne aap se Matlab rkhiye, humare aur shehnaaz ke bich ky hai, kaise hai, kyu hai?? Isme mat padiye apke liye behtar hoga, Maa sa ke saath mehel ke kaamo ko smbhaliye aur apni zimmedari lijiye na ki kisi aur ki tarafdaari," he said strictly yet softly caressing her cheek, she nods going away from there, her eyes filled with unshed tears, the dreams she saw for her married life shattered brutally.
**************
Its been two days and everything is changing for shehnaaz and her family, Amar was fired from his job, and the news of her marriage with the king spread like fire in the whole village, they look at shehnaaz suspiciously and with sympathy, many villagers come to her house asking questions about her marriage, and why she is still living here not in the palace, there was always four to five guard present outside her house as per their king's order but stay out of Amar's eyes.
" mein toh paressan ho gayi hu, apk Behn ka shok kab tak chlega aur kab tak woh khud ko kamre mein band krkr rhegi, ye sb pyar krne se pehle sochna tha, naak katwa ke rkh di hai humari, ghar se ek kadam nikalana mushkil ho gya hai" Meenakshi said stirring sbji.
" aur amma ko bhi abhi bimar hona tha, meri halat ky kam khrab hai ki ab mein aane jaane walo ki mehmaan nawazi mein lagi rhu"
"Toh kaam hi toh hai agr tumhe nh karna mat karo mein khud dekh loonga tumhe meri amma aur behn ko khuch kehne ki zarrorat nh hai" Amar yelled at her going away from there.
" Bhabhi sa laaye hum kar lete hai" shehnaaz said after listening everything.
" nahi nahi aap kese kaam kar skti hai ab toh ek raja ki beti aur ek raja ki patni ho, mujhe hi tumhari khidmat karni padegi" she taunted.
" Bhabhi sa aap aise kyu keh rhi hai, maine ky kia hai"
" khuch bhi nh kia par bas ek kaam kro apne ghr jao, yeh roz roz ke taane sun kar pressan ho gayi hu mein, aur mein nh chahti mera bacha aise mahol mein aaye"
" Amma ye le khana kha le, apne khuch nh khaya hai" she said sitting beside her on the bed.
" Shehnaaz!!!" she called her name opening her eyes slightly.
" hmmm"
" Beta khuch baat hai??" she questioned seeing her worried face
" Amma khuch izzazat leni hai" she nods and somewhere knows in her heart what she is going to say, her eyes telling her before her lips do.
" hum Mehel jaana chahte hai" she said.
" kyu?? logo ke sawalo se pressan hokar ya hume dhukh mein dekh kar"
" Nahi balki apna haq lene ke liye, apni bezzati ka insaaf lene ke liye, aur apni izzat ke liye, unhone aaj tak sirf humara pyar aur bebassi dekhi hai, hume woh saza di hai jo humne ki hi nh, ab woh humari nafrat dekhenge, ek ek sabd jo unhone bola hai woh pachtayenge" she let out with new found determination and anger.
" beta woh pati hai tumhara, aisa nh bolte" Vaishnavi said listening to her daughter's.
" jinke jeene aur marne se hume koi frq nh padta, saza dene ka bhut shok hai unhe ab saza lene ki baari unki hai," she said taking out the paper and ink, and starts writing a letter.
" ky likh rhi ho"
" Mehel mein sandesha bhijwa rhi hu, ki jodhpur ki rajkumari aa rhi hai, unke swagat mein koi kami na ho" she answered.
" shehnaaz ye sb galat hai, aap aise nh hai"
" mein toh humesa se hi aise hu amma, aur buzdilli ke saath hume apni zindagi nh guzarni, hum woh lekar rhenge jo humara hai...humari izzat.." she said finishing the letters.
