People were doing their own thing. Ladies came with pots to get water from the river. They were laughing and smiling. Suddenly, a lady screamed. All the ladies ran towards the screaming lady.

"What happened Sujata?" A lady asked.

The lady pointed at the river and everyone gasped seeing a body floating. The ladies asked some people to help them. A man jumped to the river and helped them. They saw it was young girl. It was our ANAMIKA. The man checked if she was breathing or not. Thankfully, she was alive and breathing normally.

"Who is this girl? She looks so young. How come she was in the water?" some lady whispered.

"Wait. Look at her face. She looks similar." Another lady said.

"She looks like our Queen!" one exclaimed.

"What if she is related to our Queen?" the man said.

"Are you trying to say that this girl might be the princess?" another man asked.

"Probably. We should tell this to the higher ups. Before that let's take her and make sure she fine." A lady said.

Everyone agreed and took her to a house. The doctor came and checked and said that the girl is alright, and she will soon wake up.

A few soldiers came after hearing about Anamika. They asked and the ladies told about the situation. One of the soldiers went to the palace to give the news.




A man and a woman were praying. The woman cried.

"Dear Don't cry. Our child will be with us soon." the man said.

"But I miss our daughter so much. She might have turned 20 now. I wonder how she might look. Is she healthy or not?" the woman replied.

Man kept his hands on the woman's shoulder.

"Our daughter is not a weak girl. She is the future Empress. She is the daughter of the strongest woman and warrior. She is definitely not weak. Now don't cry. If anyone sees the Queen of Malwa crying, they will get scared seeing you now.

The woman looked at the man angrily and spoke.

"What do you mean by that, huh? Are you trying to say I'm ugly?" she asked.

"NO! You are one of the most beautiful woman I have seen in my life." he said fastly and gulped seeing the glare from his wife.

"Oh! So, you have seen other women too? Who is that witch? Tell me!" She asked angrily.

"No. I didn't mean it like that. You are the only one for me." He said to pacify her.

"Right! You better not look at any other woman. I will not leave you. I don't care you are the king of Malwa and that you are my husband." she said.

Yes, the man and woman is the parents of Anamika. The king and Queen of Malwa.

A soldier came and greeted them.

"You Majesty, there is news." the soldier said.

"Speak." he said in a authoritative tone.

The soldier explained. The king and queen looked at each other shocked.

"Are you sure that the girl is our princess?" She asked.

"Not sure your highness. But the girl is unconscious now." the soldier replied.

"I think it is our daughter. I want to meet her now." She said to the king.

"Get the horses ready. We are going to meet the girl."

The soldier bowed and went away.

"Please god. Let that girl be our Anamika." she prayed.

"Let's go."

Both of them reached the house where Anamika is sleeping and went inside to meet her. The people bowed to the king and queen. Malwa is different from any other kingdoms. The way they live is like that of future. Everyone loves their king and queen. The people knew about their princess and were sad about their departure. They were waiting eagerly for the princess to come back. 

They understood that the girl probably is the princess. Why else would the king and queen themselves come?

Both king and queen cried seeing Anamika. They understood that the girl is their daughter who they had to send to the future for her own safety. Slowly Anamika woke up and saw an unfamiliar place. She looked and saw two persons looking at her with teary eyed. 

"Mother, Father, is that you?" she asked.

Both of them ran towards her and hugged her tightly and cried.

"Yes Anu. I am your mother Akshara, and this is your father, Suryaraj."

"My daughter, we missed you so much. Forgive us for not being there for you all this time." Suryaraj cried.

"No father don't apologize. I understand your situation. Dadi told me everything. I know what you have done is for my good. No need to apologize." she said wiping his tears.

"How did you recognize us?" Akshara asked.

"Dadi had your both photos. Did you forget?" she replied.

"Oh! Right. I did give mom the photos." Akshara exclaimed.

"I missed you guys. I thought you guys abandoned me. But Dadi told everything, and I understood why you did what you did."

"We would never abandon you. You are our princess." Suryaraj said to her caressing her hair.

"And the FUTURE EMPRESS OF HINDUSTAN, right?" she said wiggling her eyebrows in a teasing tone.

"EXACTLY!" both Akshara and Suryaraj exclaimed.

Three of them laughed and hugged each other basking in the affection that they missed all these years.
