Callisto Point of View

Marry for Love?

Just three words from her and I wanted to bang my head to the nearby wall. I was so embarrassed. I mean, I'm not dying to see her in a wedding gown and push a ring through her finger. I am not ready to even have that nightmare.

And the first time I thought her devotion for me was favorable in my account, she had to mortify me with those three words 'Marry for Love'.

What am I then?

Do I marry for fun?

I am a Mafia don, for goodness sake! I am supposed to be feared off. People should be shivering with just the mention of my names. Look where my life got me; Today, I, the mafia don, is afraid of someone's devotion. For the first time, I gave my close friends and family a reason to laugh at me.

But it doesn't mean I'm a softie. No, I am not.

I tried scaring her. But it backfired when she thought I'm not pleased with her and her prayers for me increased to another level.

I tried tricking her. But she proved to be a crossbreed of a trickster and an Evil. Every trick I played, she very innocently solved it and at the end of the day, I found several candles and flowers at my feet.

I tried talking out smoothly with her. But the cactus girl thought I was being very happy with her worship so she made a heavy garland for me and the whole night I was blessed with a headache thanks to her carols.

One thing I understood is, she is dangerous. They are dangerous. The two White sisters are very dangerous. They need no guns, no knives, no armors to kill. They are blessed with an impeccable skill of killing people just so naturally by talking to them.

One will be in danger if they are scared or they are happy or they are angry. No matter what mood they display, it is the other person that experiences hell.

The moment when I heard the Queen's suggestion of getting married to that death-note, I wanted to strangle her with my own hands. I would have if she was any ordinary person. The title attached to her name saved her from my wrath.

But what was very surprising was the royal couple took a liking towards Cuckoo. They went as far as to regret not having a second son to marry him off to her.

Like seriously?

Unmarried, she is a typhoon; If married, she will be an alien invasion.

"My Lord, are you really thinking to marry me?" She asked when she finally settled down on the chair beside me.

Uncle Odell and the royal couple refused to leave me alone unless we decide on something about the matter while the death-note just loves to stay around me and kill me every passing second.

Should I just put a bullet inside her head and end the misery once and for all?

Demyan once said that he had the same thought several times but somehow realized that Zinnia was deadly than a bullet. He also said that no bullet or a bomb can hurt her.

Is that the same case with Cuckoo too?

What if I just shoot her in the night when she is sleeping and before her body comes back to life with the White supernatural powers they have, I can microwave the body to ruins.

Woah! Just the thought is enough to give me a dreamless peaceful sleep.

"No. I don't want to marry you at all. This was their idea. I actually don't like you enough to marry you. You give me a headache whenever you appear and just a mere thought about you makes me suicidal. So, No I do not, will not ever, marry you even in next hundred lives." I finally blurted it out and took a deep breath of relief.

Bursting out your anger in unexpected times is the best thing to control it. Now she will be so embarrassed by my revelation that she will never ever show her shadow to me, forget about the face.

I was keeping it in from many days, months because she is an innocent girl but her naivety is literally killing people.

I glanced at the trio, who are so desperate to get me married to the Cuckoo, from my peripheral vision and found them sitting in their respective seats stiff and shocked.

Well, you all deserve it!

Now your favorite girl will never show her face to anyone of us with the embarrassment she faced.

"Thank My Lord! I feel the same too, My Lord. I don't want to marry you too. Even I don't like you in that way enough to marry you. Thank you so much for telling me that. I was feeling guilty to reveal it to you. Like I said, I love you as a God but like a woman would love a man, I am not much experienced in it." She announced clapping her hands gleefully and hugged me for a brief moment.

The relief was clear on her face.

Woah! The charming, handsome and the sexiest man on the planet is just rejected by a brainless Cross-breed of Evil Mythical creatures.

Just wow!

"Do you have any contact with any of the French Gods, My Lord?" She asked me smiling happily to me.

Did she just ignore the other part of my revelation? I told her she gives me headaches and I don't like her. Did she ignore it?

What can mortify her? I really want to know.

"Huh?" I turned my head to her giving her an incredulous look. Now she is after the poor French Gods too?

Isn't one enough that she is targeting to wipe out all the Almighty beings?

"Any French Gods. I am dire need of one, My Lord. Can you please check your previous life and other Almighty connection and introduce me to a French God! Please, Please!" She joined her hands and pleaded me widening those big eyes and putting those pair of nuisance pink lips.

"What am I? A wifi to keep on connecting? Why would you even need a French person?" I asked noticing the king and Queen to cover up their laughter while Theois was smiling widely at us so openly.

I wish I can find a woman like Cuckoo for him. He has been alone for a long time and an older version of Cuckoo will just make his life a little more regretful and meaningful.

"How can you be a wifi, My Lord." She laughed out loud "You are so funny. But to tell you, you are not a wifi that humans use. You are a God with wireless connection with the other Gods. That is why I asked to introduce me to one. You see, I took French optional language subject for these three years of University and I realized French is not really my glass of holy water. I have an exam in two weeks and I have to get at least pass mark to attempt the final examinations. The Professor is a strict human so I need to excel the language in two weeks."

Now it is time to wave goodbye to the beautiful French language as the Cuckoo is going to try it out. Not only living things, but she will now kill non living things too.

Poor language, I really love it. It was such a beautiful thing to speak.

"So you can hire a tutor." I said but she shook her head negatively giving me a Caucasian Shepherd puppy eyes.

It looked frightening.

"No, a tutor cannot achieve the greatness of teach me the language in two weeks. When my professor was dealing with my poor skills from a year, what makes a tutor achieve it? I just need a French God who can bless me with the language skills. If I need to then I will give him extra long prayers and I will also study diligently because his blessings play important role here." She blabbered.

I wonder if she can ever talk something sane in her lifetime. Just once!

"Oh, then Your Lord is the perfect person for the job. He is great in many languages so he can teach you French. Since you already have his blessings, you just need to study hard in his presence." Theois, who was thankful quiet till now, voiced out the absurd idea not-so-thankfully.

Why is the whole world against me?

Why are they so hell bent on torturing me?

Why?

The mix of surprise, adoration, awe, relief, gratefulness, and joy in her face is no less than festival celebrations. She actually looked at me like I am invincible. I glared at him for suggesting something ridiculous and opened my mouth to refuse it but did I ever get to express myself?

No, because before I could speak, Cuckoo got up and did a werewolf shape shifting type of dance. She jumped all around the room like a orangutan and finally settled beside me with a tight hug.

"Really? Then I have no worry. I don't even need to ask My Lord to teach me. He will do it happily for me." Now she decisions for me. How did she even think I would be happy to help me?

When did I even give her that idea?

"And since we also decided in courting each other, these two weeks will be a good start. We can find ways to woo each other, My Lord. Isn't it so amazing?"

Court each other?

What is it now?

Why would we court each other? Eww. No!

From where did she even get that idea?

Court her? Woo her? Like I would! Never!
