I'm not trying to accuse Shakti of anything. But you do understand the
true test of love is yet to come right? Did she really love you and will
you two get married? Or will she get bored and leave you now that you
can't be used for political purposes.

Either way, I consider you sort of an old friend. So good luck with your
life. True love is kind of hard to come by, and sacrifice is inevitable
when you find it. Nothing great comes without much cost.

Good Luck
