A handsome man was seated on a large throne surrounded by the servants. His throne was inside a palace made up of gold and gems. There he was in a relaxed position, with eyes closed and mouth busy in chewing sweet strawberries of his garden. Some of his servants were busy worshiping his feet and some were fanning him. Suddenly he felt wetness on his face.

Randhir....Randhir....wake up you jerk. (His father tried waking him up by splashing water on his face)

What the hell, my face is wet (He touched his face and slowly opened his eyes).

Anticipating his surrounding environment he exclaimed,

Where is my throne..and..and those servants, he roamed around the room in panic.

Stop your nuisance, (His father held his collar) listen to me very carefully Randhir, ready to help me in my job or get out of this house (He left his collar with a jerk).

But I don't want to work (He replied yawning) it's a waste of time you see (his father's blood started boiling on his son's reaction) All of us are blessed with a single life (he sat on his bed) I don't understand why you want me to work?

Randhir....

Yes Father,

Listen Son, I am not going to feed you forever. Most importantly if you will not stand on your own feet then no one will give his daughter's hand to you. (His father tried to make him understand)

So what father, first of all I am able to stand on my own feet. See (he stood up) I can walk, jump and can run (he did all these actions) too.

Secondly, I don't need anyone else's hand, I have my own. (He replied with a cool attitude)

It's my fault (His father sighed) that I tried to talk to u, now enough of this conversation, I am giving you 3 hours to decide, come to the river otherwise LEAVE MY PLACE. (He left the place)

He gulped down his saliva listening to his father's last words. This time he is serious. His red eyes said everything.

No, I can't leave this house, never...I can't miss my mother's pancakes, I will have to obey his orders.

Common Randhir you will only have to go there and sit on the boat yes it's only another kind of entertainment.

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

Deep down the river, there was a kingdom ruled by a mermaid King Kushan. He had 9 daughters and the younger one, Lady Sanyukta was close to his heart. She was different from others. Her body was like a human being with two legs instead of a tail. She was not even able to breathe under water without using the magical aqua ring. Her sisters were jealous because the king loved Sanyukta a lot.

It was her 18th birthday. The whole kingdom was decorated with pearls, corals and plants. She was in her favorite blue gown with accessories like a pearl necklace, a crown and a crystal bracelet. All the mermaids were showering their love and blessings on her. The other aquatic animals were also invited.

Lady sanyukta, ask me what you want. It's your day today my dear. I will give you anything even my life.

No father, she held her father's palm. You gave me more than I deserved. I have only one wish.

Yes Sanyukta, open up.

Father, I want to see the world outside this river. She smiled and the king was shocked but he remained silent.

Please father, I want to go outside the river at least once.

But, Sanyukta it's dangerous I don't want you to get hurt. Nobody goes there; it's the place of human beings.

I know father that's why I want to go there, I want to know how human beings looks like.

Okay, as you wish (He caressed his daughter's face).

Huh, Father always loves her more than us (One of her sisters whispered)

Yeah even if she is a defective piece, still she is the gem of his eyes. (Another one agreed)

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

Randhir what are you up to (His father exclaimed)

Now what? According to your order I am on this boat.

Yeah you are sleeping instead of driving the passengers to the other side. (he was angry)

What? I will have to drive the boat! But it's your job not mine. (he stood on the boat)

Enough of your nonsense Randhir tonight you will sleep on this boat with an empty stomach. Did you get that (Randhir was afraid)

He sat on the boat with a thud after his father's departure.

God..my father is so annoying.

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

The passage between the river and the outer world was guarded by a Giant Snake. According to the king's orders he opened the door for the beautiful Lady Sanyukta.

Sanyukta

Yes father,

Remove the ring from your finger before you step inside the terrestrial world. My child only you have the ability to breath even in the air.

Really! (She was more than happy, for the first time she was happy being a defective piece as her sisters said)

Take this box dear (The king gave her an oyster) keep your ring inside it and don't miss this box otherwise, you won't be able to come back here.

She smiled; her father cares for her a lot. No matter what but she is the luckiest daughter in the whole world.

Thank you.

Hawww....I am feeling sleepy...mother I am hungry (Randhir sighed)

Suddenly a strange thing happened. He witnessed a sparkling bluish light on the river at a certain distance from his current position.

What's that, let's see Randhir.

When he reached nearer to that light what he saw made him astonished.

There she was Sanyukta, with a smile on her face. She put her ring inside the oyster and wear that around her neck as a necklace. She stepped out of the door put her feet on river bank for the first time.

Beautiful!!!, who is this girl?
