PART 13

As I entered the bathroom, I sighed and asked forgiveness, "Babaji, please forgive me, I took all this luxury for granted. These few years have made me realize how lucky I was to be born in a royal family. Today I know that not everyone is lucky enough to enjoy delicacies in life. Babaji, let Tezi be safe somewhere as I am here

I was deep in my thoughts; I did not hear someone entering the bathroom.

"Beta ji the voice startled me

"Sorry I did not hear you coming I apologized to Savitri Devi

"It's Ok, dear; here its Molly she will help you the old lady smiled, she was so much like my grand maa

She left the room and I was facing a middle age lady in professional attire, a knee length skirt paired with white shirt and an apron.

"Hello, madam I am Molly, from today I will be with you to help you with your daily chores she said

I nodded and indicated her to start, she slowly soaked my feet in warm water and cleaned them, though I did not had all these luxuries, I always kept myself clean, if not glowing.

By the time she helped me inside the warm rose water filled bath tub, I was lost in my memories.

"Choti raani, aap kahan ho (where are you your highness)

"hum bahar nahin aayenge, aap yeh roz roz ubtan lagate ho hume achcha nahin lagta (I don't like that you apply these body packe daily)

"Choti raani, achcha aaj to yeh bana liya hain, kal se nahi banaenge (ok today I have made it, but be assured from tomorrow I will not make)

I sighed this was my daily conversation with my nanny, she daily use to apply body packs, did my hair, made sure that my skin always glowed and hair shined. When I went to Delhi, I used to wait for this every week. Her body massage was miraculous. She died in that fire, I did not realise that I was crying

"Did I rub your skin roughly molly asked me

"No, dear

"Then why these tears in your eyes, madam

"I was just missing my nanny

She went quiet and continued rubbing my back and then slowly washed my hair.

"You have beautiful hair; they just need a little trimming. Not just hair you skin is also very beautiful; we just need to work a little on your feet and hands.

"Whatever you say I did not argue with her.

She helped me into a bathrobe and then continued with my hair, she was a beauty expert, and she trimmed my eye brows.

Savitri Devi came inside, "Molly are you done? The designers are here

"Yes Madam almost I am now trimming the fair lady's hair

"Keep the length only trim as less as possible before I could ask what designers she went away.

"Molly, what designers she was talking about I asked

"Oh, Madam is finalising a new wardrobe for you. You can't move in this boy's attire

I sighed and decided to give myself in Savitri Devi's hands.

Finally when I came in the room, I was not surprised to see two women talking to Savitri Devi.

"Oh, you are done, come here, Beta ji she said

I nodded.

"Can you please take off this bathrobe I want to see you? said the designer

And then went the session of finalising my wardrobe, I did not interfere, and simply followed their instructions, in about 3 hours seven daily dresses and four party dresses were finalised, and as it had always gone everything with matching under garments and fashion accessories and footwear.

"I am telling you Savitri Devi, she is a designer's pride, everything suits her the designer said, "I will send the rest of the things in a week's time

Finally they left, all this was so thrilling as well as tiring, and all I wanted was to eat something and go to sleep.

"Beta ji, come you have not eaten anything, let's have lunch and then you can go to sleep; you look exhausted

I was about to go to the kitchen, "Not there, from today you are a part of the family, you will have your meal in the dining hall of course, how did I miss that.

The lunch was of my liking, "Thank you madam for you kindness

"Rubbish, you are Tezi's sister and therefore like my granddaughter; I did what I would have done for my granddaughter

"Where is she? I asked

"Who?

"Your granddaughter?

"I do not have a granddaughter, I have only two stupid grandsons, and how I wish I had a granddaughter

I gave her a puzzled look

"Anyway, now I have you, and I will pamper you now

"Oh you have two grandsons; one is Maan sir and other is Dev sir

"Yes, both are good for nothing, they don't even talk to this old lady

"Don't worry madam I will talk to you I tried to console her

"Then call me Daadi

"Daadi, but it will... before I could complete my statement, "Why, am I not like your grandmother? Ok as you wish, after all I am old now, and I have no right to tell you what you should do

"It's not like that, ok I will call you Daadi, please don't be disheartened.

She wiped her tears, and I felt as if she was not crying but smirking.
