A very beautiful girl, in a green robe, was running through the crowded streets.
"Martha... stop, please." Another girl who was wearing a yellow robe was running after her.
"Not now, Nainsy." She said while running. But the girl in the yellow robe grabbed her hand and forced her to stop.
"We shouldn't be out here alone." Nainsy said.
"Why not?" She said, gulping.
"If your father hear that..... "
"He'll never know we're gone."
"But if he finds out," Nainsy said.
"You don't need to be afraid of my father."
"At least we should hide our faces." She said this while glancing around.
"Okay... Nainsy." They covered their faces with the tops of their robes.
"It's fine now."
"Yes but...."
"Nainsy, after so many days, I am able to come out of the palace."
"Okay fine." They came a little further. The whole city was lost in the noise.
"Why is there such a large crowd?" She pointed to the side of the road where many people were standing.
"Guess what."
"Let's go."
"Martha, are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Like always." They came to the crowd.
"I still think that we shouldn't go there," Nainsy's voice was rife with nervousness.
"Of course, we should."
"I will never go out with you again."
"You are saying this for the eighth time." They made their way through the crowd. When they reached ahead, they found that an old man who had a very long beard and very old clothes was watching the hand of an old woman very carefully.Like the whole crowd, both of them started looking at him silently.After a while,the old man looked at the woman's hand and said, "Your sister is going to do the work that you are preventing her from doing."
"No, it shouldn't happen. Please help me."
"I can only foresee the future, but I can't change it. However, you..."
"No!" The women screamed and ran away.
"Huh..does anyone else want to know their future" He said to the crowd.
"I want to know," Martha raised her hand.
"Martha, no"
"Do you have any coins with you?" The man asked her.
"No, but I have this"She pointed to a bracelet in her hand, which was of gold.
"Martha, have you gone mad!"That girl whispered in her ears.
The old man looked at that bracelet for a while and then said to the crowd that "This is my last customer for today, so you guys come back tomorrow."
The crowd slowly started to empty from there.
When the crowd completely dispersed, he said, "You should not hang out like this."
"Why? Do we not even have the right to roam in the city"Martha said.
"Who can stop the princess from roaming the kingdom?"On hearing this they both got shocked.
"I.. I am... "
"Ok then Princess Martha give your hand to me"
"What?"
"Give me your hand to see your future"
"Which one?"
"Anyone," She extended her right hand.
"Well how did you know I'm a princess?"She asked when the old man was looking at her hand.
"The one who sees the future also sees the identity of the person, princess"He said while looking at her hand.
After a while,"What did you see?"
But the man kept quiet.He looked towards her. The man's face was telling that he had seen something bad.
"Did you see something bad?" Martha asked in a low voice.
"Better if I don't tell you" He said in a sad voice.
"Martha I think we should leave now"Nainsy said in an irritating voice.
"You have to, it's my order"Martha said in a firm tone.
" Ok... ok, listen you will marry a brave king, your first child will be a girl.... "
"What's wrong with that?" Martha interrupted him.
"Yes, your child will always be in danger of life and many people will die to save her, but her survival is neither in my hands nor in your hands."
"And"
"Only this much I can tell you,your grace"
"Martha let's go" Nainsy said.
"Wait, is it true?"Martha asked him.
"Maybe, it's in God hands"
"Keep this bracelet"She gives her bracelet to the old man and then they walk towards the palace.
"Don't believe his words,Martha"
"But, how he knows that I am a princess"
"I don't know maybe his any friend or family member works in our palace or he has ever seen you before"
"But... "
"If your first child will be a boy, then"
"Yes....... "She suddenly got up on her bed, her whole body was hurting.
"Aaaahh!"She screamed.Then suddenly a maid said,"Lady Siriya, the queen has regained consciousness"
Lady Siriya came to her and said "Thank God! you have come to your senses; you have become a mother, Martha." Her heart began to beat quickly as she heard this.
"Boy or Girl?"
"A girl Martha, a little princess," Lady Siriya said happily.
"No..."
