Shumita nearly cried out with shock. The king had grabbed her by the arm and was forcing her to look him in the eye. She was terrified and looked at the floor. 'What if he found out? What if he knows that you were the one preparing the meal?' The thoughts raced through her mind as she slowly looked the king straight in the eye. To Shumita's relief he asked her where the cook was and she pointed towards the other section of the kitchen. The king nodded a thank you and left. 'He wouldn't be thanking me if he'd known who I was...' She thought.

No one knew that she had been the one who had prepared the meal even though cook was asking around. No one had thought to ask Shumita yet. Shumita was terrified about what she would do when someone finally asked her what she had been doing that afternoon. She didn't want to lie but if she told the truth she knew she would be accused and punished and the thought made her tremble.
