Dust And Desires

"No, Dadii!!! She will stay with me!"
Raghav's voice pierced through the quiet drawing room like a crack in glass. His small face, flushed with frustration, quivered with determination. At only ten years old, he already spoke with the authority of a prince one who was never denied anything.

Dadii looked down at him with a mix of confusion and unease.
"She's... the cleaner's daughter, Raghav. You shouldn't befriend someone like her."

"I don't care!" he shouted, fists clenched. "I want her. Only her."

There was a pause. A long one. Mrs Malhotra exchanged a glance with Raghav's mother, who stood nearby, her expression tight and unreadable.

Finally,
She exhaled.
"Alright, alright," she muttered, defeated by love. "How can I go against your wish, my prince?"

"Rajesh," said the madam of the house, her manicured fingers drumming against the polished wood of her chair.
"We want your daughter to stay here."

Rajesh blinked, unsure if he had heard correctly. "Madam... but she's just a child."

"Your child," she said coldly, "is now important to our raghav, he wants her."

She paused, letting the words sink in before leaning back.

"Twenty thousand monthly. You'll get it if she stays. If she obeys." Rajesh lowered his eyes to the floor. He had never seen such money in his life.
"Okay, madam," he whispered, heart sinking.
"She will stay. She will do whatever the prince says."
