It all began in the faraway land of Begusaria, India.

There lived a family who ruled the entire land and everything in it. Prieta, a beautiful young woman who got married into that family, is now in a position she can't get out of. The throne desperately needed an heir, and it falls to Prieta to produce one for the kingdom. But after giving birth to two girls, the pressure is mounting. The next has to be a boy, or chaos will reign.

....................................

There, a beautiful woman walked down the stairs with a tray of tea, looking so gorgeous in her long flowing red dress

"Honey? where are you? asked her husband... "I'm here, just going to serve tea to the others, I'm here". "Oh, there you are, I've looked for you everywhere. Mom wants to speak with you right now, so your attention is urgently needed right now."

"Before you go, tell me how my cute child doing in there, and..."

"No, my child is not cute," she interrupted "my child is handsome. Because it is a boy and not a girl.l must have a boy this time around, not a girl, so my child is a boy." The way she cut him short, left him speechless. All he did was nod his head, take his tea, and walked away from her without a single word. Lost in thought, he walked out of the house, not turning back to look at his wife, whose face and speech were full of fear and anger.

"Mother, here I am Cunchi said you sent for me. Sorry I was busy in the kitchen, making tea" she walked straight to where her mother-in-law was sitting with a bunch of newspapers in her hands. "Mother, your tea" "Keep it over there on the table, we need to talk. It's urgent, sit beside me."

"Zoya, take the tray from her, and served tea to the rest and then yourself. Since you like tea a lot, but are too lazy to make one. I wonder, how my second son, Lakan, fell in love with a lazy woman like you? You weren't this way, just after giving birth to two sons. My elder daughter should be the one giving birth to boys, not girls" Prieta turned her face to the other side, after hearing what her mother-in-law just said, squeezing her hands into a fist.

"You became an annoying lazy fat woman," she added. "Well, I have no time for you right now, just take the tray and go".

Zoya quickly stood up, ran, and collected the tray from her elder sister. She walked very fast so that her mother-in-law will not do that all over again, but she was stopped by Prieta.

"Zoya, don't serve Cunchi tea, I already have." Zoya just nodded her head and ran out.

"Mother, what do you want to talk to me about," asked anxious Prieta

"I want to talk about your pregnancy"

"My pregnancy?" Prieta asked, confused.

"Yes, your pregnancy, Prieta, all I want to do is to give you a sense of warning. Make sure that the child you are carrying in there is a boy and not another useless girl. Because if you give birth to another girl this time around, I will drown the child in the special milk going to be used on the day of showing the heir to the people of Begusaria." she stood up and left with her tea and newspapers, leaving the young woman in shock at what she just said.
