AITRI'S POV

My head is spinning, hands are shivering, my brain is totally out. It is like a within a day my whole life has taken a three sixty degree spin. My parents are not my parents, my in-laws rivals are my actual parents. My dad sacrificed his own daughter to save me. I have been a curse for everyone I think. I burst into tears when I think about all this.

I felt a sudden pull like someone embracing me. It was Aathika. She should be the one who should be extremely angry with me. Because of me, she has been accused as orphan by people. But this girl is consoling me here.

"Aiyu, please control yourself. I know it is a lot to take in for you, not only for you but for all of us. At the end of the day, it is all to protect you.", Aathika said. I wonder what this girl's heart is made up of.

"Aiyu, be calm first. Think with calm mind. You will feel and understand why they have done all these things", Pradhi also said.

"I wish I died that day itself. Many people suffered because of me. Especially you Aathu, how can you be this calm? You should shout at me that I snatched your parent's love from you", I stopped and started crying again.

"Don't you dare utter that word again. You will never die. Aiyu why should I blame you? Because of you only I got to know how great my dad was! Moreover, everything is over Aiyu, we all should move on.", Aathika spoke with a lot of emotions.

"Aiyu we are not asking to forgive your dad I mean Mr. Natrajan but just think from his point of view too. He lost his daughter, his wife lost her mental stability and Aryan Anna, he has become almost a mother less. Aiyu, you are the most brilliant one among three of us so we don't have to tell you what is right and what is wrong", Pradhi said.

At the same time, Aarvik entered our room. They both left me and gave a smile to Aarvik.

"I know Aiyu, you are going through a lot but I swear even I got to know all this two days back. I was just waiting for the right time to reveal everything to you.", he said. But I am not ready to hear any of his sayings today.

"Aathu, Pradhu can you both stay with me today? Call Chiko too we will stay in guest room together", I said and left the room with them. I need a lot of time to digest everything.

AUTHOR'S POV

Chiko reached the palace and was stunned to hear everything. But she was happy about one thing.

"Hey so it means the curse got perished right? I mean Mrudhu is Aarvik's sister", Chiko said happily.

"OMG! We totally forgot about this thing. Hurray! It means our Aiyu is safe", Pradhi said happily.

"Idiots, you all three are safe", Chiko pointed to Aitri, Pradhi and Aathika.

"Then the attacks that happened on Aiyu those things...", Aathika stopped.

"Everything is done by someone then but my question is how it has been followed for so m any years?", Chiko asked.

"Good question. We should speak about this to everyone", Pradhi said.

Aitri was numb all the time. She didn't show any emotions. She didn't even know that they are conversing about her. At the same time Mrudhula entered the room with Layanika.

"I hope I am not interrupting anything my SILs.", Mrudhula entered.

"Not at all Mrudhu and please give me this princess", Pradhi said and took Layanika from her.

"See Layu, your Athai (aunty who is father's sister) is not even aware that you are here. Come we will torture her for sometime", saying this Pradhi took Layanika near to Aitri. The baby immediately grabbed her aunty's hair as if saying that she is here.

Aitri came out of her thoughts and saw Layanika.

"So Layu needs me now", saying this Aitri took Layanika from Pradhi's hands. The baby started laughing.

"Now I get it why she always stays in your hands. You are her Athai (aunty) after all.", Aathika said.

"Yea and guess what she loves her Athai (aunty) more than her dad", Mrudhu saying this took seat near Chiko.

"I am so happy that Aarvik, Rakshan and Dhruv got their sister back. You know they used to tell me all the time if they have a sister they will treat her like a princess", Chiko said.

"And we are sticking into what we say", Dhruv entered the room with two plates.

There were a lot of starters items in the two plates.

"I made everything for you Mrudhu. Try it", Dhruv said excitedly.

"You drunken monkey, Aiyu is cooking for you every day and even Aathika used to get something for you. You used to snatch my lunch boxes too but till today you have not even made a maggi for us. Today you got your sister and here all your culinary skills are coming out.", Pradhi said.

"Well, she is my sister after all chimpanzee", Dhruv said and made Mrudhu eat the dishes one by one.

"Aiyu don't cook anything for this drunken monkey hereafter. Let him cook by himself", Pradhu huffed.

"Mrudhu, this is for you", Rakshan entered with a tray of different type of juices and milkshakes.

"Raku you traitor you never even once did a lemon juice for me and look today you have become a milk shake making machine", Aathika's turn now.

"Mrudhu came back after so many years after all", Rakshan said and made Mrudhu drink the milkshake.

"Aiyu I am also joining with Pradhu today, don't cook anything for these thankless people", Aathika said with pure anger.

"Here is all the favorite food of my sweet sister", Aarvik bought the main courses that was made by him.

"Aarvik you dog, you always told me that you don't know how to cook and what happened today", Chiko shouted.

"Stop shouting Chiko. I made all these by seeing you tubes", Aarvik said and fed a spoon of Gobi fried rice to Mrudhu.

"You would have done that before too right. You tube didn't get launch yesterday I suppose", Chiko threw a pillow in Aarvik's face.

Aitri was least bothered to all these as she was busy with Layanika.

Someone entered the room and cleared the throat. There stood Aryan with a tray full of ice cream.

"OH NO Aryan Anna (elder brother) please you also don't say that you bought everything for Mrudhu already these three brothers are making us jealous by showing so much love to her sister", Aathika spoke with fake anger.

"No, I bought it to my sister. You, Pradhi, Aitri and Chiko", Aryan said. Once Aryan finished saying, Pradhi just ran and took the tray from him and gave each ice cream to Aathika, Chiko and Aitri. But Aitri declined having it. Aryan's face fell immediately.

"If you are not taking your ice cream then I will eat yours too", Pradhi blackmailed her.

"Don't you dare do that. Keep that in fridge I will eat it after having my food", Aitri warned her.

"Chimpanzee, what did you think? Anni (SIL) will give her ice cream to you", saying this Dhruv started laughing. Pradhi took and extra ice cream cup and punched that on Dhruv's face. Immediately everyone laughed.

"Pradhu why did you waste the ice cream on this idiot's face?", Chiko started laughing again.

"Dhruv you look handsome man", Aryan said and again started laughing.

"I won't leave you Chimpanzee", saying this again Dhruv and Pradhi started to play Tom and Jerry.

Aryan was looking at Aitri and Mrudhu alone. But they both were not giving a glance to him. Aarvik sensed all this and he wanted to help his BIL. Aarvik planned something and took Rakshan and Mrudhula out of the room saying that he wants to show all his childhood pictures to Mrudhula. Then he texted Chiko to take Aathika out of the room. Chiko said something and took Aathika out of the room.

"Why did you ask us to come out Aarvik?", Chiko asked him.

"Let the brother and sister sort our their problems. I am sure Layu will play a major role in this", Aarvik said. Mrudhula looked at him.

"Mrudhu, you loved Aryan. You know him better than any of us. Do you think Aryan can kill someone?", he asked her.

"He just wanted revenge. He himself said that he will go to any extent to take revenge but my heart knows that he can never kill someone", Mrudhu sobbed.

"Believe your heart Mrudhu, Aryan can never kill someone. The guy who is ruling my sister's heart should be as pure as my sister. He is my Aiyu's brother too. So definitely he can never do something that will harm someone", Aarvik said. Somewhere they all got agreed to this.

So that is left with Aryan and Aitri in a room now.

Dhruv and Pradhi while chasing ended up in store room. Pradhu got hit with a shelf and a file fell down. She opened and saw the file. The information that was in the file shook her to death.
