ISHWASA : His warrior Begam

8. DIGNITY * PLAN * KIDNAPPED?

I was heading to court to get this thing cleared. How dare she called me names. I was getting so much furious. With each step my anger was getting doubled.

"Shahjadi Ishwasa" Suddenly someone called me from behind. 

I looked back and found Begam sahiba calling me. Her face looked tense.

"I need to talk to you urgently." she said to me.

"I am sorry Queen but I have to go to court right now, its something important" I replied getting impatient.

"I know what you want to talk about and I am the one you are suppose to contact." She replied in her usual calm tone making me surprize.

"Come with me" she hold my hand and took me to her chamber. I silently follow her not knowing what to do.

She made me sit on the bed before her and take my hand in her caressing a bit.

"Calm down bachhe." she said caressing my hand. My head jerked towards her.

"Don't be surprise. You too are like a daughter to me. I know what is going on your head . I am a mother too" she said to me and I just stared at her not knowing what to reply.

"Believe me; what I say next will be in your favor." she said to me and I nodded believing her. I know she is a righteous queen. She will not say anything inappropriate. 

"I know what ever aapa has said to you was wrong, completely wrong. And then the rumors, it was completely disgusting and disrespecting. I sincerely apology to you Shehzadi." She said to me and I immediately nodded my head sideward not liking her apology on behalf of that old lady.

"No princess I should be doing this as this was my responsibility as the Queen to look after you and protect you from every odds. But I failed. This should not have happened. But I can not undo it and all I can do is to punish her. And Shahenshah has already done that.

I do not want this matter to go in court as it include you dignity and self respect. I know what she did was wrong but bachhe your respect is more important for me. I can not bear any finger raised on your innocence. So understand the thing what I am trying to say and do not take this matter to court." She finished and I nodded understanding.

My mother always say to me that the self respect of a girl is always at stake. One wrong move and everything will fall apart as the castle made by sand. A girl's respect is not only belong to her but also to her whole clan. One dirty spot and the whole clan is considered stained. 

People always remember the girl who was accused and will never accept the truth if proven innocent. Whatever happen they just find out the mistakes in women. 

The culprit is long forgotten. All they remember is just that girl and her being accused for something.

But the question is why only girls have to compromise for literally everything. If at my place there would be any prince of the state and he was accused wrongly and disrespected then this matter would have been handled differently. A proper apology would be there if not then war would have been initiated considering the disrespect of Prince.
