Nandini's POV
I was surrounded by so many women's, Alu is applying mehendi on my hands.Definitely I will lose my mind soon,I thought I will die in accident but out of nowhere I entered this strange world & today evening am getting married.I wish I just wake up from my dream soon.
Aiyappa what are you trying to do with me.

Alu:-appi see how is mehendi.

I looked at my hand,wow Aliya really have great talent in it,I never put mehendi in my hands till know.
Am just like tomboy, I hate wearing saree's,traditional dresses, jewelries.
I didn't even know how to cook Maggie.Most importantly I don't know how to behave like girl.
I don't know how am going to survive in this world where girls are permitted only to household cores.

At evening
I was sitting between ammi & Alu.
I heard imam asking am ready for this marriage I said yes.
Soon our marriage is completed.
Marriage is always forgotten part of my life.I didn't have time to think about but now am a married women.
I married to someone who's name also I didn't know, man who is already having 5 wives.
Seriously he should be in jail if he was in 21st century really 5 wives.
I don't know how many days I have bear these ancient species.I want to save abbu's respect so I have to behave politely with them.

At night
I was sitting in some kind of room,it was decorated heavily.I think its my first night. Oh god now as a ideal wife I have to submit myself to someone who I didn't knew his name also.
Hell no.
I Heard a maid came inside.

Maid:-choti begum king is not visiting your chambers today, he was with saima begum.

As soon I heard her I breathed in relief a small laugh left from my mouth but I closed my mouth.Maid thought I was crying. She started consoling me.

Maid:-Begum please don't cry I know how bad you are feeling but our king is nice man he will visit you tomorrow.

Seriously this girl is so innocent, here am dancing with happiness she was thinking am crying.

Me:-what's your name darling.

Hearing me she was shocked, ofcourse I called her darling.

Maid:- my name is Gauri, begum.

Me:-oh so gauri don't call me begum yaar it sounds strange, call me Nazi.

Gauri:-no begum ji how can I call you Nazi,I will get punished for it.

Me:-oh stop it gauri,only call me Nazi when we are alone.

Gauri:-ok begum,sorry Nazi.

Me:-so you are working as maid in this fort.

Gauri:-yes badi begum appointed me as your personal maid.

Me:-don't call yourself as maid darling ,you are my first friend in this fort.From today you are my friend.
I stood up & hugged her,she was shocked but hugged me back.

Gauri:-you are really sweet begum I never saw someone sweet as you.

Me:-& I never saw someone cute as you.(pinching cheek).

She blushed hearing, oh god she is really innocent.

Me:-gauri can you help me with removing this heavy jeweleries.

Gauri started helping me.soon I changed into simple kurti.
I jumped on bed & am really tired I need good sleep.wow this bed is so soft.slowly I drifted into sleep.

Other side.
Saima begum's chamber
Manik was lying in saima's lap.
Saima was caressing his hair.

S:-manik you should be at new begum's chamber tonight, what's wrong with today is your first night.

M:-oh stop it saima,I already told I don't want to marry another girl.
Am happy with you five.

S:-but manik you need a heir for our  kingdom which we 5 can't give.
Every time we gave only daughters to you,now we can't bear child anymore.

M:-I don't need any boy to be my heir,
Even my daughters can be heir to my kingdom & am not going to new begum's chamber.
