"It was not my intention to hurt anyone or be unfair to anyone." He continued, "Marriage, of course, it should be made of love, I understand that much.

He looked at the two men in the eye and said – "I admit that I made this mistake, but for someone who has loved his motherland over all else, this sacrifice was too little to worry about."
He looked hurt. "It's not that I pushed Myra into it. I gave her the option and I gave her the freedom to choose – she chose this life herself. She was free to refuse it if she wanted to. She did not and I assumed that she has accepted it with all her heart."
Aryaman shook his head. "She came pleading to you. But you did not hear them."
