happy love story

King Atanu had brought Achyut in, to seek his help and expertise in trading. It is been over two months since Achyut joined his kingdom and things have improved. He brought in many more contacts, which the kingdom lacked. King Atanu was really happy the way things have flourished. But Tamina wasn't happy with the way things were going. She overheard the conversation of her father and mother. Achyut had asked for her hand for his son Achintya. King Atanu wanted Tamina to marry Achintya. Queen Moly tried to make Atanu understand that Tamina was not ready for marriage yet. But Atanu had clearly ordered Moly to convince Tamina as he has already promised Achyut and he cannot break his promise. Tamina returned to her room, she was broken. She stood by her kingdom for her father but he was  forcing her to marry his friend's son now. She felt hurt. She wanted to run away. She knew if she married Achintya then neither of them will be happy. She loved Marc and she wanted to wait for him.

And he was sure, he won�t be getting a rank in any of them. He was scared and his time was over in Hyder

The next morning, Tamina didn�t leave her room. She didn�t feel like eating or taking a stroll outside like every other day. She was feeling guilty about not being able to help Marc, who without even asking left a note for her, which exactly the thing was going on in her mind. Several times she thought of asking her father to help Marc but she knew she was not answerable to the questions which her father will raise. She looked outside her window, it was almost afternoon, and she wondered where Marc will be at this hour of the day. While she was lost in his thoughts, one of her helper came inside her room. �King Atanu wish to see you princess,� said the helper. �I will be there in a bit,� Tamina replied. Tamina got up and changed her clothes. She was not in a mood to even step out of her room but she cannot say no to her father. King Atanu was sitting in the dining hall, a few of his old friends have visited the kingdom and in their honour the entire palace was busy in preparing the del
