| Lakshmi gave birth to twin bonny boysbut her own joy was shortlived when she was told of the tragedy, which had befallen her mistress. The mistress too was expecting to be a happy mother and that too after seventeen years of barren married life. The child was still-born.

Her mistress would never know the truth and Lakshmi herself vowed that secret would be deeply buried within her breast forever. |
