Continued from The Past...

I was walking on the passage of the palace from the room to the cell of the King. Wearing my regular yellow Sharee (Indian traditional clothes for female) in bengali style (Aatpoure) covering my face upto my cheeks I was going to the King. He suddenly wanted to meet me this morning.

Since few months, his health was degrading each day; medicines were not walking properly. But still he was working with his full strength; managing his position. The next king was quite younger in his age, still learning the works of the kingdom, as King Prajapati excluded Vikram from this position after knowing his affair with Chandrika. Rani maa had stopped talking to him just after knowing my condition.

I didn't know whether it was their love for me or resentment to Vikram for choosing a servant over a princess.

The palace was being decorated with flowers and pradeeps (lanterns made of clay); Mashals (flares) were being cleaned and rearranged. After all it was the occasion of another marriage of this Kingdom. My middle sisters-in-law Maulata, was getting married with the elder prince of another nearby Kingdom within few days. They were preparing for it since the beginning of this month.

I took the last turn before reaching to my destination. I came near the bed and asked permission for coming in; the King nodded his head with an agreement.

He was laying on the bed, resting his head and back on the pillow. The dark circles under his eyes were getting darker each day.

His is terminally ill.

Rani maa (queen) wearing her red Sharee ( Indian traditional clothes for female) was sitting beside the bed of him; caressing his head; her face wasn't covered. She smiled at me genuinely. On the opposite side of her, at the left side of the King a female servant was checking the medicines properly.

I came near Rani maa (queen) and sat beside; the King was looking at my direction, affectionately, wanting to say something important.

I suppose!

"It had been four years since you came to this Kingdom; helping me through everything related to British Administrators and their policies. But you had never asked anything from me as reward!" His voice was low, but very clear. The pride of being King was very much noticeable in it. I smiled at him.

"It is my honour to help you my Lord; I am very much thankful for being useful to you!" I said smilingly; Rani maa (queen) was looking at me smilingly yet thoughtfully.

"It is your intellect, my child. You are a fighter, a gem for this kingdom; to us. Only if he..." His voice cracked and eyes closed for a moment.

Not everything can be in our hand, my Lord..

"I thought, one day he would get his senses back and came to you leaving that.." His faced showed the disgust; followed by Rani maa (queen).

For some reason they hate her; may be because of her position.

"Child, I want to give you something, something you want to have. Please tell me, your wish." He said; eagerly waiting for my answer.

What I want?

The thing I want now so badly is... freedom..
Freedom of mine, his, us..

"I want.." I murmured lowly not being sure to tell them or not.
