Let me tell you a story.
There was a kingdom where two people ruled. One was the King and the other was his mother, but actually she was the Queen. They both decided everything about their kingdom and everyone had to silently follow their decision.
One day the King fell in errrmmm love I guess with a girl. She was not a princess or queen. She was just an ordinary woman.
He told her that I had no entertainment while running the kingdom, so come, be the queen of my heart.
The woman thought the King is asking her to be the Queen of his life. She said yes and moved into his kingdom.
But the moment she moved in, she realized that she was not the Queen. The Queen already was there. She was not even a princess, the princesses were also there. She was not a Queen consort either, there was one of that too.
Then who was she? She was nobody.
So she asked the King, Who am I here? What is my position?
The King very romantically replied, Why darling, you are the Queen of my heart.
She was a romantic so that was good for a while.
Meanwhile, the Queen and the Queen consort made it clear that she can't do anything right. If she tried to do anything at all, she was criticised, insulted and humiliated.
In the beginning, it happened in private. Then it started in front of the King. But the King said nothing.
The woman again asked, Why am I here?
The King said, Because this is our home and you are the queen of my heart, where else would you be?
The woman said, But it's not our home. It's just your home. I can't do anything there as per my wish, everything I do is criticised and insulted. Then how is it my home too? I don't feel this is my home. I don't even have a single thing here that's my own.
The King said, Umm... Okay. If it makes you shut up, you can do whatever you want in the bedroom.
The woman was happy, Really?
The King said, Yes, you can paint the room maroon, turn the room into a JUNGLE, change my name. Everything is fine as long as you are happy.
The woman goes and gets a swing because she always wanted a swing since childhood.
The King walked in and got pissed off. The stupid woman actually thought he meant it. But now she took him at his words, now he needed a trick to make her change her mind.
The woman asked, Do you like the swing?
The King said, It's just a furniture for me. But whatever makes you happy makes me happy.
The woman was happy to see how much the Kind loves her. She is indeed the Queen of his heart.
But the King went away annoyed and asked his advisor, I thought whatever makes me happy will also make her happy. But she actually dared to have happiness that doesn't match my own. But I already said too much. Now what to do?
The advisor said, Why don't you say, since the swing is so big, why doesn't she move the swing in the garden? The entire home is hers too, not just the bedroom. Or better yet, buy her a smaller swing if she wants to have a swing in the bedroom. You can move your work table in the office if space is limited. After all this is the first time she asked you for anything. It's the least you can do for her the Queen of your heart and for all the love she give to your family.
The King got even more annoyed, No. That won't work. Then she might actually start to think that she has any place in the kingdom except on my bed. No, I need a better plan. Idea, I will keep tripping on the swing. Then she will remove it.
The advisor said, You have never tripped on any furniture before in your or her house, what will make her think that only in your bedroom and only the swing is making you trip? No one becomes clumsy with only one object overnight.
The King thought about it, Yes, you are right. The woman won't get the point that she just should get rid of that swing because that's the only thing in the entire furnished house which was not approved by me so that needs to be the cause of all issues and needs to go.
So he went to the Queen and let her know how much the woman is bothering him by actually appearing when her presence is not required.
The Queen went to the King's room and got rid of the swing.
The woman was shocked and speechless.
The adviser asked the Queen, By what right did you enter the Queen of the heart's room and removed the swing?
So the Queen said, Did you actually fell for the crap Queen of his heart? How stupid can you be? She is queen of his bed because that's the only place where I can't be. Everywhere else, I am the only Queen. She better knows it and from now on stay at her place which the King and I allowed her to have.
The people who witnessed that got divided into two groups. One who was stupid enough to expect the King to keep his words.
The other's who shouted "Off with her head" for daring to believe that she has a place at her husband's home, for asking for one thing that was her dream, and for having any expectations from the King who was not even man enough to keep his words.
What I found surprising is that a little tripping made the King run to his mummy, had the woman went crying to her mummy every time she got hurt, every time the King, Queen and the Queen consort chip away her dignity, she'd be staying at her own house permanently.
The BITTER End!!!
EDITED: Ishwari moves the swing because Dev is a kitten who gets distracted by lights and falls on furniture.
Diwali must be a living nightmare for him. Who knows which twinkle lights shining from someone's balcony might make him crash his car?
Anyhoo, poor kitten couldn't say anything so just created enough fuss so that his Mummy would know. Such a clever fellow.
So his mother came to do his dirty work again because he doesn't do his own dirty work, he pays detectives, spies, his mother to carry out his dirty work. Shariff log gande kaam karwate hain, usse karke apna haath ganda nehin karte.
Ishwari moves the swing to the garden because well, she is the Queen. If she can remove Sona at a single command, what is a swing? She could move the swing to Timbukto if she wanted.
Anyhoo, everyone is enjoying the same swing so the tripping problem won't happen anymore regardless of how many strings of light is placed around it even in Diwali and Christmas.
Ishwari asks everyone about the menu for Dev's birthday. Sona supports Ishwari who wanted what Dev likes. So everyone has to be fine with it. They have enough money to make everyone happy. But Dev and Ishwari are the only people whose wish, happiness and desire matter. Rest of them can either learn to be happy at their happiness or be sad.
Dev comes home and sees the swing missing which makes him happy.
So the point is that this one was a happy episode because the only people whose happiness matters are happy.
Rest of them can just suck it up.
