all over palace had been pervaded with the scent of splendid food and drink. it was celebration night of victory. marquis were engaged telling the story of general Abbas might to each other. middle of the royal court, many beautiful girls were rendering awestruck elegant and unrestricted dance. courtier were very gleeful to see it. looks like people have already reached into heaven by their performance.
emperor, he was sitting on his furnished throne with content look. and empress she was not involved in this spectacular banquet. she was still unconsciousness. but emperor, he hadn't asked even once about her. he was totally lost on this celebration.
concubine Maahnoor, she was taking princess to sleep on her chamber. princess grumbled." I don't want to sleep now. I also want to go on feast like my brothers. "
she coaxed her. " you shouldn't be stubborn princess. child shouldn't be attempt this late night banquet."
princess explained. " but uncle Abbas said that he want me to see me there."
as she heard her brother' s name to princess mouth. she becomes furious. she said peevishly. " don't listen everything, what your uncle said to you."
and after much effort of her, finally, princess drifted off on her comfy bed. even if she doesn't want to sleep right now. right now, Maahnoor was lost in her thought.
princess was the only daughter, out of all emperor's child. she was Haboos child. the empress daughter. she hadn't been pregnant even after many years of her marriage. at the beginning, everyone thought that empress is surely an sterile.
many years later, when, everyone had been confirmed that she will never be mother in this life. she gave birth a little princess. it was miracle against everyone's expectation.
everyone started value empress. it was unbearable for concubine Maahnoor. she managed herself. to put an act of virtuaus lady, concubine Maahnoor, she started to cherish princess. there was another reason that she also had no own child until now. even if princess demands would be wrong. she got it done by hook or by crook. she loved her so much. it was just show.
but, she doesn't aware when, she started taking caring of her genuinely. now, she always makes sure that her guard shouldn't be get down at any case for any moment. because of that, she was angry on herself.
after some time, she jolted herself. she let's herself out of princess chamber and gave warning every valet. " take care of her. don't slack off on your duty. or else, you all know the consequence."
they all greeted her on her way.
But, princess Zarina she had not slept until now. she was just pretending. after, she finds herself alone in her chamber. she walks out of her chamber and she finds out some lackey were engrossed on her chat. and some were dozing off. she sneaks out from palace to back garden.
There was one secret place. She used to come here often. whenever she finds herself bore. It was another side of pool. It was a moon night. She removed vane to make an aisle to go to there along shrubs. after she makes it. She comes on one open place. she squated on the cliff at one side of the pool and started beholding pool in the obscure. she could see in the moon light, red and blue lotus and stagant water on the pool. even it's colour was invisible. She feels serenity to blow wind. She said herself to look over starring sky. " How beautiful night, isn't it?"
in the distance, she could see the outspread of blurred lit all over fortress. now she had no desire to go in banquet.
after few moments, she stands up to her seat and stretched her back. then, Her gaze rolled up on one boy abruptly who was passing by. She halted him." hold on." He fixed on his place and spun to see. Who call him?
princess Zarina sprinted towards him as soon as she could make it. She detoured flank of pool in order to come near him. as She comes near him. she gets, he was taller than her about few inches and he was tilting his eyes to the ground side. He was shivering. and it was reflecting on his face, apparently. to make poise he was clenching his clothes by finger. His face tinge had been changed. he was certainly apprehensive.
She asked him dubiously. "Who are you? And why are you strolling in the middle of night."
she said continue. "How pitiful would be your mother when she wouldn't find you on your bed." she nagged him.
still, he was looking ground. he babbled. "my mother has already been died long time ago. so, no one would be worry because of me."
as she knew. she started starring at him. there is someone who hasn't mother.
"I am Aamir. my father is holster. and I have already asked to my father to go to see iridescent phenomena."
