I feel so very blessed that I was sent in exile.


When I married Ram I was encountered with mixed feelings. I was happy to an extent that I wanted to freeze that moment but with happiness I had a doubt in my mind, doubt in regards to the time that my husband would be spending with me. I loved him dearly and dreamt about spending every hour of my day with my beloved husband, but I knew that being the eldest son he will soon have to take the throne in his command. The very idea used to make me sad as that would mean very less quality time with him. Though being a King’s daughter I was prepared for it but still had a longing for being with him all the time. And when I almost resigned myself to fate of not having much time to spend with my husband, fate changed its course. My husband was given orders to go in exile for fourteen years taking me along. Frankly I felt sad in the beginning when I heard of this dreadful punishment for no reason as such. I pitied my fate and not later but sooner I realized that it was not actually a punishment but a blessing in disguise. Going in exile will mean all my husband’s time will be mine. No interruptions will be encountered. I felt the joy kindling my heart. When we were leaving the palace I held my husband’s hand and could see the same joy in his eyes and I fell in love with him one more time. I was proud of him for the sacrifice he was making for his father’s honour and how super calm he looked.

 I was very excited; every atom in my body was thrilled for this new expedition of my life.

On our journey we encountered many beautiful places which I knew existed but never thought of visiting them. Every place I visited with my husband appeared even more beautiful. One could not have asked more from life. There I was with the Mother Nature drinking the beauty of the time and wishing the time to cease. Surrounded by beautiful flowers I enjoyed every second of the journey. Watching sunset and sunrise with my husband was only a dream which came true. I felt to be the luckiest woman on the planet Earth to have had the longest honey moon period of fourteen years. Never in history or never will there be in future would a woman have such a golden period. Love and happiness was all around and that became one of the reasons of naming my sons Luv and Khush. I am truly blessed to have Ram in my life and to have spent fourteen golden years with him.
