Anamika was sitting in the Palanquin feeling bored. She was thinking about her life. She got to know from her Dadi she has power to time travel. She met her parents. She became an empress in the age of 20. Got married to a Muslim king. She fell asleep thinking.

Jalal stopped and announced that they will rest for the night and continue their journey to Agra the next day. 

"Where is Begum Anamika?" he asked one of the dasi.

"Your majesty, Begum Sahiba is sleeping in the Palanquin. Jalal went near the palanquin and saw Anamika sleeping with her mouth open. He found it cute.

"Begum Anamika. Get up." Jalal shook her.

"What happened? Where is the fire?" she asked frantically looking around for the fire.

"There is no fire. Get up. You can sleep later. We are putting up camp here. We will continue to Agra tomorrow." Jalal said and forwarded his hands.

"Oh!" Saying this she got out of the palanquin holding Jalal.

"Thanks." she said.

"Your welcome. You do remember today is our first night right?" he asked coming close to her smirking.

"Hold up mister. You are my husband. I agree. But that doesn't mean we will have our Suhag Raat. We won't have any kind of physical relationship." Anamika looked at him and spoke.

"I have every right as I am your husband." Jalal said smirking.

"Well, I said no, so it's a no. Let me clearly tell you something. A no is a no. Doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman. If you think, when a woman says no it means a yes, then that is all nonsense. A no is a no. Just think this. If I force you on anything and you said no to me. Will that mean a yes?" she said.

"No one can force me to do anything Begum." Jalal said arrogantly.

"Answer me. If I force you to do something and you say no to it, does it mean that I should consider your no as a yes?" Anamika asked.

"Of course not. A no is no. How can you consider my no as a yes?" He answered.

"Exactly. So, there won't be no first night. I know you have many wives. You can go to them for your needs. Until then control your hormones. I am sure you can. Right?" she asked raising her eyebrows.

Jalal looked at her surprised. How can a woman talk about something so personal without getting shy. He thought.

"By the way, I will have a separate camp to stay. I hope you have no problem with it. And don't try to come to my tent too." she said.

"What if I do?" he asked her.

"Then be ready to be castrated." she said glaring at him.

"I will take my leave. Bad night for you." Saying she left.

"I really love your attitude, Begum Anamika. But you will lose your attitude soon." he said smirking.

They ate dinner and went to sleep.


The next day, Jalal asked a dasi to call Anamika for breakfast. Soon, Anamika came and sat beside Jalal.

"Why are you sitting here?" Jalal asked her trying to embarrass her.

"Well as far as I know, a wife should sit beside her husband, and I am sure there is no other wife other than me here." she answered looking at him.

Jalal couldn't reply anything back. He silently ate the breakfast.

"How was your sleep?" Anamika asked.
