Flashback

At evening 5:30 PM

Nandini was sleeping peacefully in his  embrace. Manik was stroking her hairs lovingly and looking  at her continuously. Smiling. kissing on her head, hairs, cheeks, lips, knuckles numerous times. without breaking her sleep. she was tired so she fast asleep.

After sometime she get up.  she opened her eyes slowly. Manik smiled. she was looking at him in sleepy eyes. still little closed.

She was trying to opened her sleepy eyes.

"Good evening my world's queen.."
Manik caressing her hair lovingly. And give a peck on her lips. Nandini smiled little and rubbing her eyes cutely and Yawning.

"Today you sleep a lot. "Manik caressing her hair.

"Haan woh. "Nandini stopped.

"It's Ok.. if you want then  You  can sleep again. "Manik.

Nandini slowly get up and sat on bed. holding duvet near her chest.

Manik shifted himself on her lap.

Nandini smiled little. But again she lost somewhere.

Manik closed his eyes. 

"I just want that just stay here like these. On your lap rested my head.  I can spend my entire life like these. "Manik.

Nandini was listening him silently. She was always listening him. But never replied..

"Don't you Nandini. "Manik opened his eyes. Nandini was caressing his hair.

Nandini was silent. She knew that these happiness is just for temporary. It is not for lifetime. It will not happen. It is all fake. Not true. it's  just like a dream. Once again they will have to returned in there real life.  where already there real world will be waiting for them.  But she don't want to disappoint him.

Somewhere she knew that it will not happen.. It will be always just a dream. They can't be together. She is innocent,    naive. Don’t know anything about these cruel world. But she knew one thing is that they both are very different from each other. There world is different from another. From childhood to till now always her Grandmother told her that  they can't match or compare them self with rich people. Or not even think like them. Nor reach on their place.

That's why her mind is set like that. Her mentality is like that  and somewhere it is true too.  Rich and Poor these differences are always here.

She knew that she is a servant Shish Mahal and she will be always servant  here.. But she can change her identity. But only when. When she will do study. only her study and her hardwork will be pull up from these helpless life. These  poverty. otherwise she will be always a Prisoner here just like her family. Her family.

(It's a tradition that they only work for Royal Families-Rajgharana. So from many years like 200-300 years may be more than these.  It's a tradition. so they  don't think that it is so mean or any kind of cheap job.  They like to give there service to the Royal Families..(Seva) Like these is there in there language Dharma. )

But Nandini's Granny was always told her that she have to do study and live her life independently. Not like there.

Nandini never disobeyed her Granny. She knew that Amms always right.. That's why she knew that these poor and rich valley always like that.
