MY FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY

The story starts from empire of South India called Southern Kingdom.

MEGHANA'S POINT OF VIEW :----

What you are looking at, my name is Meghana. I am a princess of the Southern Kingdom. Sounds interesting, right, being a princess is a lucky thing. But in my case, it's not. Let me tell you a story, my story. 

But before I start my story, let me introduce you to the character present in my story. My dad, the king of the Southern Kingdom, his name is Santosh. His elemental power is the "time" highest in the entire Kingdom and my mother's name is kiara. Her elementary power is"hydrogen". One year later, after their marriage, they had a son named Rudra. His elemental power is "time", the same as his father's. Again, after 2 years, the queen was blessed with twin girls named Meghana, which is me and my two minutes smaller sister named Kirti. Kirti's elemental power is "nature". Where as mine is unknown. I never showed any kind of signal which would state that, which kind of element it is that I am carrying. Probably this is the reason why everybody hates me, because I do not have an elementary power. Many people even say that I am Cursed and many other things, as I never showed my elemental power and, even I am also unknown of the fact that which element power I have. Even after being a princess, I live in a very bad condition, even worse than a beggar. Everybody hates me and no one cares about me. How I live, what I wear, whether I eat or not, totally dependent on me, There is no one who sees that. My mother never allows me to attend any kind of ball or any function after I turned eight years old. my mother sees me as a disgrace on the royal family and because of that they are so many times that I have been not allowed to eat lunch or dinner and she always locks me up in a very dark room situated in the corner of the palace, where a lot of rat live, without any reason or my fault. Just because whenever she sees me she gets angry and frustrated since I do not have any power and I am different, I am different from everyone. I have no servants, no servants to assist me in my daily routine work, like other princesses do. I have to do all kinds of work on my own. Sometimes I even feel that I am cursed, which maybe I have got in my Puna Janam*. In both of us, Kirti and me, Kirti is the most loved one not only because she was the youngest but also because her cultivation speed was extremely fast, and she was in 4th level which was a lot faster than many of the citizen living in that Kingdom more than that, her element is nature second highest in the entire Kingdom and fifth highest in the entire world. Despite this difference between us, Kirti and I, we love each other a lot, and she is the only person I trust unconditionally. She is my little sister, the kindest and the cutest one I have ever seen. Other than my cute little sister, there are two other people who are very kind to me, first one is my nanny, who has played an important role in my growing up days. My nanny is the only person who takes care of me and somehow arranges me the things that I need for my daily use. Although servants present in the palace are very rude and mean to me, there is a servant who works in the kitchen of the palace. She always offers me the food secretly when my mother punishes me by not giving me food for like days.

Today is my birthday. Today is the day, I will turn 15 years old. I don't know whether I should cry or laugh, whether I should be happy that today is my birthday or I should be sad that my parents don't remember my birthday. 

KIRTI'S POINT OF VIEW:---

Today's 15 August, my birthday and also my sisters. After all, we are twins. I can't wait to wish her, and I am on my way towards her chamber where she lives. When I entered her room, I shouted "happy birthday my dear sister" to which you replied same to you, sweety. And the expressions she gave were priceless. I always feel bad for my sister and I always wonder why everybody hates her. She is not able to cultivate  it's not her problem, not her fault. I just feel bad for her. Today is our day, our birthday but when I entered her room she was sad, sitting in the corner of a room maybe, because she knows that her parents are not going to wish or better I may say our parents. But it doesn't matter, as long as I am here I won't make her feel lonely. I brought a beautiful dress which I saw in the market yesterday for her as a gift, and she was very happy I requested her wear this dress today as it was her birthday and she agreed. then suddenly, to destroy my beautiful movement with my sister, my maid entered the room and told me that our parents are calling me after hearing this Meghana Di again got the sad. I don't know why, but sometimes I cannot help but to hate my parents, after all, how can they do that with my sister. she is also their daughter. Anyhow, since my parents called me I have to go there, I excused myself from my sister and went to the main bedroom of my father and mother to see them. when I entered the room my mother and my father blessed me and give me a lot of gift. I was so happy to see so many gifts, even my brother gave me a lot of gifts. I took my gifts and excused myself from my parents and left for my room I divided my gift into half and decided to give these gifts to my sister, saying that it's from our mother and father. I bet she will be very happy to listen that, not because of the gifts but because it is our parents who are giving them to her. 

MEGHANA'S POINT OF VIEW:----

When Kirti left, I got bored again. I didn't know what to do, so I left to take a walk near a river which is behind the palace. When I was enjoying the beauty of the river, I suddenly started feeling darkness covering my eyes and I fainted.

A few hours later, when I opened my eyes, I saw an old woman making a green colored paste in Oakley*. I was shocked to see her, and also I was feeling a little afraid because I don't know her. I don't know where I am, and I don't know how I reached here. After hesitating a lot, l decided to ask her about where I was. The old lady replied that she was in her hut. She further said that she was fainted. She was feeling bad seeing me in that condition, so she brought me here and checked upon me so that she could know why I fainted. I don't know why, but I was not getting a good feeling about it. And I was sure right because what I heard next, I was not able to believe in my ears.
