Price Of Happiness

Once upon a Time ..
Far far Away ..

There was a kingdom ..
There was a King ..
And ..
There was a Queen named Siya ..

One day , it was "Dol Yatra" (Festival of Colors) , the Queen Siya went out from her palace to celebrate the occasion ..

She was roaming in her gorgeous chariot ..
Suddenly she stopped seeing something ..

There on the river side , was a small cottage made out of clay ..
Decorated by flowers of jungle ..
Painted with "Alpona" (white color artistic design) ..

Queen Siya asked her maids , "Whose cottage is that ?"
They answered , "It's the home of Diya , a poor woman living in the village ..

Queen Siya returned to her palace , all very distressed ..
King asked , "What's wrong my darling ?"
Queen replied , "I don't want to live in this palace .. I want to live in a cottage made of clay .."
King said , "No problem !!"

King immediately build a beautiful new cottage all made of clay and decorated just like that cottage of that poor woman Diya ..

Queen Siya moved in there ..
But ..

She could not feel the Happiness she expected ..

It's felt all Empty ..

Another day , it was "Snan Yatra" (Festival of Shower) , Queen Siya went to the river to celebrate a shower ceremony ..

She was dressed with all gorgeous cloths , beautiful makeup and valuable jewelleries ..
Then suddenly she stopped seeing something ..

A woman was returning from the river after taking a bath , wearing a simple red lined white cloth , walking on her bare foot , carrying a clay pot filled with water from the river ..

Queen Siya asked her maids , "Who is that angelic woman ?"
They answered , "She is Diya , the poor woman living in the village .."

Queen Siya returned with so much of distress ..
King asked her again , "What's wrong my darling ?"
Queen replied , "I want to take bath in river , carry water walking on my bare foot .."
King said , "No problem !!"

King immediately made all the arrangement ..
The road was all cleaned and cleared ..
After taking a bath in the river , Queen Siya walked by her bare foot , wearing a red lined simple white cloth , carrying a clay pot filled with river water ..
But ..
As she reached home , she threw away the clay pot ..

She could not feel the Happiness she expected ..

It's felt all Empty ..

Then once again another day , it was "Raas Yatra" (Festival of Music and Dance) , Queen Siya went out again to celebrate with 100 of her maids ..
Then suddenly she stopped seeing something ..

There was a young boy , carrying a basket filled with fruits from trees , vegetables from field , flowers from garden , with a glowing smile on his face ..

Queen Siya asked her maids , "Who is that cute boy ?"
They answered , "That is the Son of Diya , the poor woman living in the village .."

Queen returned again all distressed ..
King asked her again , "What's wrong my darling ?"
Queen replied , "I want my Son to bring fruits and flowers for me .."
Kind said , "No problem !!"

After getting order from the Father , the young Prince , carried a basket filled with fruits and flowers to his Mother ..
But ..
When Queen Siya looked at her Son , she found him all angry and frustrated because of the efforts he had to make for all that ..

Queen Siya could not feel the Happiness she expected ..

It's felt all Empty ..

Queen Siya went under total silence ..
She did not even respond to the King this time ..
Then her best friend came by and asked her , "Siya my friend , please tell me , What's Wrong !?"

Queen Siya replied , "I Had It All Watever I Deemand For ..
But I Never Been Able To Achieve The Happiness I Wished For ..

So now ,
I Don't Want To Chase After The Happiness Of Diya Anymore ..

Now All I Want Is To Cherish All The Sorrow Of Diya ,
That Poor Woman Living In The Village , Has In Her Life .."
