Mohini POV
After sitting on the couch kajal started narrating me the story of princess mohini
" You are Princess mohini rajput, daughter of rudradev rajput and Suman rajput. Your parents had a political marriage. Your father has 2 wives, the lady who just came here is his second wife. Your mother was his first wife and the queen of our kingdom Ramgarh. When you were just 7 your mother died because of an accident. Ever since the death of the late queen the king has become very harsh and cruel to everyone. After the late queen's death his second wife Rani Leela took over the position of your mother . Ever since the death of your mother you have been treated very badly by our present queen . She doesn't like you because you are the first daughter of the king and he cherishes you the most . Rani Leela also has 3 daughters with the king but still his love for you exceeds everyone mohini. It is only because of his love that you are still even alive today otherwise Leela would have killed you a long time ago, she is your step mother and always discriminated against you with her other daughters."
I listened to her with sharp ears and scoffed a little and said
" So even in this era we have Cinderella "
Kajal raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked me who Cinderella is. I shook my head saying nothing and asked her to continue the story.
" Because of your generous and loving nature you never said anything against queen Leela and your step sisters. You always suffered because of them and never even complained a word about it to your father. You have always been such a kind soul mohini."
She finished her story with a little sob feeling petty for princess mohini I guess.
I didn't respond anything and tried to take everything in with such sudden information. From what I got to know is that princess mohini is not treated rightly by her step mother and sister and that she is a very quiet and timid girl. How typical, I thought to myself.
I guess from the very childhood this lady Leela had control over the princess and made her the puppet of her fingers.
Since I am a history student. I know about the brief of this kingdom. It is not a very big kingdom and had very little information about it in the books too. It was taken over by Mughals in 1600 and then after sometime it got destroyed in a war.
" I am here for you if you need to know anything else mohini "
Kajal said softly with a sad smile.
I also returned the smile and nodded.
" Tell me about my step sisters too" I asked her with a serious look
She nodded and Said
" You have 3 step sisters, komal the eldest daughter, nalini the middle daughter and the youngest daughter named Ragini. Among them only nalini behaves well with you. She is not like her evil mother and sister. She is a very nice girl and cares for you. But since her mother is so hateful towards you she doesn't let her meet you often. But even then she came to visit you during your unconscious every other day to check on you. "
I nodded slightly and sighed in relief realising that at least some people are still at my side here.
" Mohini beta"
A slow voice came from the door and I saw an old man with a very worried and relief look on his face. From the looks of it I can say that he is the king and father of mohini. Seeing the king kajal bowed her head and went outside to give us some privacy.
