AARVIK’S POV

OMG! What the hell is happening in my life? Yesterday, Chiko said that she don’t want to marry me. Today Aiyu is saying that she is ready to get marry to me. My head is spinning. I hear that her uncle was admitted in hospital yesterday. I planned to visit her today so that I can ask her what is happening, but now she herself came here and saying that she want to marry me.

“Aiyu, what are you saying?”, it was Pradhu. She just entered the palace.

“Aiyu just now we got to know that your aunty is planning for your’s and Jagan’s marriage. She asked the priest of our temple for a good day in a week to do your marriage with that good for nothing”, Aathu said.

Shit! That is the reason she is ready for this. But why her aunt wants her to get married immediately.

“Can you all explain what is happening here?”, my grandmother asked them.

Aathu and Pradhu explained everything. She needs money for her uncle’s operation.

“Aitri, I can give you the money dear. You don’t have to do this”, my mother said.

“No aunty, I don’t want anyone’s sympathy. Please, I already had enough. Viku said you wanted me to be your DIL. Now, I am ready. It may be for six months but still”, she said.

“Aiyu, I will give my money which I earned. Consider it as your best friend's help.”, I said

“Please Viku, do you remember you promised me when you were leaving to London that you will give anything that I ask for. Today I am asking you, please marry me. I don’t know whether the curse and all is true or not. But after six months I will divorce you myself.”, she said in one go.

I know she is one stubborn girl. Now, I have no other choice left.

“Fine, I will marry you. But even I have something to ask for”, I told her.

Everyone looked at me keenly. “You will not sell your house for your uncle’s operation. I will give you the money. If you accept to this then I will marry you. I promise”, I told her.

“But Vi..”, before she could complete, “Please I know how much that house means to you..”, I told her. “Fine”, she whispered.

“Aitri dear just listen to us once”, my grandmother said.

“She won’t listen to anyone so don’t waste your time.”, I told my grandmother.

“We will call our family priest then we will decide the date for marriage”, my grandmother announced.

She was about to leave but I stopped and held her hand.

“You know what you are doing right Aiyu?”, I asked her. She just nodded and left.

“We will meet today at our meeting place after your school. Bring Pradhu and Aathu too”, I told her. For that also she nodded.

AUTHOR’S POV

“Our plan got failed. I thought by scaring that London girl she will go away and we can make my daughter marry Aarvik but this Aitri has became his bride”, the person roared.

A girl in mid twenties was crying in sofa.

“Dad I want to marry Aarvik but what about the curse”, the girl asked her dad.

“There is nothing called curse everything is just fake for sure. I don’t believe in all this shit”, her dad said.

AITRI’S POV

Pradhu and Aathu asked me thousands of questions while going to school. I told them everything what my aunt said then they became quiet. After my school, we went to the pond.

All the three Princes were there before us.

“Hi”, I said to them. “Hi Aiyu sorry Anni (SIL)”, Dhruv teased me. But I don’t know how to react to this.

“You can call me Aiyu itself. This feels so weird you know.”, I told him honestly. “No I just have one Anni. Please let me call you as Anni”, Dhruv pleased. I just nodded my head.

“I would have danced in joy if you and Aarvik Anna (elder brother) are marrying for real. But you guys are just marrying for six months only. I really wish you both continue to stay together”, Dhruv said.

“Offo Drunken monkey, your family is already talking about curse and all. We are worried for Aiyu’s life now. Moreover, what about that Chiko?”, Pradhu asked Dhru.

“Aarvik Anna (elder brother) spoke to her saying that Aiyu will be marrying him soon. She was happy that he agreed to the marriage but felt bad for Aiyu though. Sorry Aiyu I mean Anni.”, Raku said.

“If she really cares for Viku and Aiyu, then she should’ve not left her love in the middle like this believing all these non sense stuffs”, Aathu said her point.

“Are you sure about this marriage?”, Raku and Dhruv asked together.

“I am two hundred percent sure. I know Viku will always be with me. Nothing will happen to me until he is there for me. I trust him more than myself”, I said what I felt.

“I swear I won’t let anything happen to you”, Viku came and held my hand.

The great queen asked all of us to come to the palace for fixing the marriage date.

We all six went together. I totally forgot that Viku was holding my hands still. Chiko and her father were also seated in the main hall of the palace. She was staring at my hands then only I got my consciousness and freed my hands from Viku’s hold. We went and all stood there.

“Both these horoscopes will live like Parvathi and Shiva for sure. There are a lot of chances that the curse may get broken because of them”, the royal priest said. As if we both are going to live together. After six months we are going to get divorce… if I survive.

“Are you serious?”, the great queen asked him. “I am serious great queen”, the priest said.

Everyone looked so happy in the royal family.

“For Aitri’s pure heart we are sure she will be able to give us a daughter and break the curse”, Charumathi aunty said.

“This marriage is just for six months”, Chiko said strongly.

“Who knows maybe Aiyu Anni can be our forever SIL”, Dhruv said.

This guy I am going to kill him now I understand why Pradhu is calling him as drunken monkey. I am just going to marry Viku for six months not more than that whether I live or die.

“After a week there is a good day. We can get them both married on that day”, the priest said.

Everyone started the preparation immediately.

AFTER A WEEK ON THE DAY OF MARRIAGE

I don’t know how a week went. Viku gave me money to treat my uncle. His operation got over. He became happy as well as sad when he got to know that I am marrying Viku. My aunty didn’t agree but she had no choice. She was against great queen this time. Aathu and Pradhu had mixed emotions. One side they were afraid of this curse but other side they are happy for my marriage. Dhruv and Raku were the ones who did most of the work. My MIL is getting me ready for my marriage.

“Aitri dear you look so beautiful. I always wanted you to be my DIL. Your mother and I were friends. She used to say that you and Viku will make the best pair in future.”, she said but she had tears in her eyes.

“Why are you crying then aunty?”, I asked her. “I am just worried for you dear”, she whispered.

“I will be alright aunty”, I said holding her hands. “First stop calling me as aunty and call me as Amma”, she said with fake anger.

“Sure Amma”, I said.

They took me to the mandap where marriage is going to happen Viku was already seated there. I sat next to him. When we were about to exchange the garlands, someone shouted to stop this wedding.
