We should have been welcomed by the King and Queen, but I saw a girl coming our way with an aarti tray in her hands. She seemed really happy at first, but as she neared us, the happiness started to fade.

As soon as she saw me closely, the tray slipped from her hands, and she gasped with horror. She looked towards Yuvraj with teary eyes while, to my surprise, Yuvraj kept staring at the floor. He tried to explain something to her but she won't listen. Streams of water flowing down her face. The beautiful love-filled tune that had been playing all day in her heart suddenly turned into one filled with sadness and anger. {refering to the video above, tune changes at 1:02}

The Queen, after gaining some power to say something after this shock, with an expression of anger said, "Yuvraj, you were supposed to give a gift to my daughter for this ceremony, and what did you do? Brought a second wife for yourself?!"

These words were the biggest shock for me. Was I the reason for the tears in this girl's eyes? But... I thought that the prince was unmarried! How was this possible?

Why are there so many secrets? Why a shock on every step?
