The Queen Who Was Never a Queen

A story of power borrowed, respect mistaken, and karma that never forgets

There is an old woman.
She could be anyone.
You’ve seen her.
You’ve met her.
You might even know her personally.

For decades, she believed she was important.

People stood up when she entered a room.
Invitations came without asking.
Phones were answered immediately.
Doors opened magically.
Smiles appeared on command.

She thought it was her aura.
She thought it was her personality.
She thought it was her greatness.

It was none of that.

It was her husband’s chair.

Respect Was Never Hers. It Was the Position.

Her husband held a big position.
Government. Corporate. Political. Bureaucratic.
Doesn’t matter.

People’s regard for him was directed toward the position he held earlier,
and also about his good character too.

And she?
She was respected because she came attached to that designation.

A transferable file.
A temporary privilege.
A borrowed crown.

But nobody told her that.

So she believed she was special.

When Power Feels Permanent, Arrogance Is Born

She didn’t treat respect as a gift.
She treated it as her birthright.

She expected it everywhere:

• From waiters
• From maids
• From drivers
• From security guards
• From people poorer than her

And this is where character shows.

Because how you treat people who can’t help you decides who you really are.

She was rude.
She was dismissive.
She shouted.
She humiliated.

Why?

Because nobody else would tolerate her arrogance—so she used it where she could.

The Party Life, The Fake Circles, The Empty Applause

Her life was a routine:

• Beauty parlour
• Kitty party
• Another party
• Another lunch
• Another fake smile

Children?
Left to grow by themselves.

Values?
Outsourced to money.

Manners?
Ignored.

She was busy being a “queen”.

She forgot one thing.

Positions retire. People die. Respect leaves silently.

Retirement: The First Reality Check

The day her husband retired, things changed.

Calls reduced.
Invitations slowed.
Importance faded.

But she didn’t change.

She still demanded respect.
She still carried arrogance.
She still spoke down to people.

Society didn’t argue.
Society simply walked away.

Death: The Final Eviction Notice

Then her husband died.

Money may still be there.
But power vanished overnight.

And suddenly:

• No one calls
• No one invites
• No one cares
• No one tolerates

She now demands respect.
Earlier, it was given.

And demanded respect is never respected.

When Even Children Turn Away

Here’s the cruelest part.

Her own children start resenting her.

Why?

• No emotional bonding
• No values taught
• No humility shown
• Only money and ego

Children raised without manners don’t suddenly develop gratitude.

They learn arrogance from parents.
They return bitterness later.

And she wonders:
“Why is everyone abandoning me?”

The Circle Shrinks. The Silence Grows.

Old friends stop calling.
Old circles quietly exclude her.
Money doesn’t impress anyone anymore.

She tries to show power.
But power without position looks like desperation.

She becomes bitter.
She becomes angry.
She becomes lonely.

And karma watches silently.

Karma Doesn’t Rush. It Waits.

Karma is patient.

It lets you enjoy borrowed respect.
It lets you humiliate the powerless.
It lets you ignore gratitude.

And then—
It removes everything one by one.

Not as punishment.
As balance.

A Message to Every “Important” Wife

This is not about money.
This is not about status.
This is not about big husbands.

This is about character.

If you didn’t earn the position—
Be grateful.

If you didn’t build the power—
Be humble.

If you didn’t make the money—
Be respectful.

Because one day:

• Titles will vanish
• Positions will expire
• People will stop pretending

And only who you are will remain.

Final Truth (Read This Slowly)

Respect given because of position is temporary.
Respect earned through behavior is permanent.

How you speak to a maid.
How you treat a waiter.
How you talk to a guard.

That is your real résumé.

Everything else is decoration.

And decoration fades first.

Borrowed power creates false queens.
Character creates real human beings.

Choose wisely.
