AUTHOR'S POV

The next two days went in the preparation of Nilan and Shivani's wedding. They have planned their wedding in "Kurinji Andavar Temple", a famous shrine in Kodaikanal. They were all excited that Nilan is going to marry his love except one. He was getting nervous that after their wedding, he has a task to perform. Nilan and Shivani got married with all the rituals. Aaradhya looked like a princess in her parent's wedding. The same day Nilan legally adopted Aaradhya as her own. Everyone wished the newly married couple. Rakshan, Aarvik and Mukilan sighed Dhruv to propose her. But he was getting nervous to propose her.

"Chimpanzee, what will you do now? Nilan got married now, who will you marry?", Dhruv asked her.

"Why are you worrying about that? I will get someone in future who looks at me like Viku looks at Aiyu, how Raku cares for Aathu and how Jackfruit fights with Chiko. Actually my dad said that he got another guy's proposal for me yesterday when I called him and I told him the situation here. That guy was looking handsome too. Can you believe he is earning in millions and also is from a very good family. Even his parents loves me like his own. I spoke with his parents in video call yesterday. Today I should speak with him as he was busy yesterday.", Pradhi gave him a reply.

"What the hell! Who the hell is this guy? You are not going to marry that guy. AM I CLEAR?", Dhruv shouted at Pradhi.

"Excuse me, who the hell are you to order me? You have that Mongoose Maya right? Then what? I can marry anybody I wish. Do you all want to see the guy's picture my dad sent me?", Pradhi asked everyone and took her mobile. Before she can take the portrait of the guy from the gallery, Dhruv took the mobile from her and threw it downstairs.

"JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME MISS. PRADHI VISHWANATHAN. I LOVE YOU FOR GOD'S SAKE. AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MARRY ANYBODY EXCEPT ME. YOU ARE GOING TO BE MRS. PRADHI DHRUV SOON. IF ANY OTHER GUY EVEN LOOKS AT YOU, I AM GOING TO CHOP HIS HEAD. KEEP THIS IN MIND. AM I CLEAR?", Dhruv shouted forgetting that he is speaking in front of his brothers and SILs also his friends.

Everyone laughed their guts out hysterically. Especially Rakshan and Aarvik fell on the ground and started laughing, even Pradhi laughed and took the phone that fell on the floor due to Dhruv it got scratches though. But she managed to open the folder without getting hurt.

"See my soon to be husband Mr.Dhruv Sarangbhani.", Pradhi showed Dhruv his own childhood picture.

"You guys all trapped me. Omg! My own brothers played against me", Dhruv showed his fake anger.

"Well you were not ready to propose Pradhi, so Aitri and Aathika spoke to us about it. I told this to mom and Chitti(aunty) yesterday morning. Pradhi told her dad about Nilan and asked not to disclose anything to Thiyagu uncle. Yesterday evening Chitti(aunty) and Chittappa(uncle) went with dad and mom to ask Pradhi's hands for you. First Vishwanathan uncle hesitated but later he agreed when our parents said marriage will happen only after two years as Pradhi is doing her Masters.", Aarvik told him controlling his laugh.

"She spoke to Parvathi aunty and Sarang uncle only yesterday in video call, that's why she said she spoke to her in-laws", Chaaya said holding her stomach.

"Your face was worth seeing man!",it was Muki's turn this time.

"Well played! But not even one my side", Dhruv whined.

"Don't worry BIL, we will take your side but you have to take our side too when your bros go against us.", Aitri told him.

"Sure Anni (SIL).", Dhruv smiled nodding his head.

Aaradhya went to Nilan and said "Appa, Aaru hungly(hungry)", pointing her stomach. Then only everyone got to know that it was almost 10 am after their stupid fights. They went to have breakfast in an authentic traditional restaurant which serves marriage food. Aarvik ordered there.

When they were having their food, Rakshan started their conversation.

"At last Chimpanzee and Drunken monkey are going to get marry", Rakshan said.

"I think we should build another palace Raku because these two will definitely break everything after getting married. Already Amma said most of the vase in palaces was broken due to this Chimpanzee and Drunken monkey", Aitri said.

"Offo, stop calling her as Chimpanzee. Only I have the right to call her like that. You can her Gorilla, King Kong, Anaconda, etc., except Chimpanzee", Dhruv said looking at Pradhi as if he is suggesting cute names for her.

Everyone bursted out laughing.

"Try to learn from you brothers stupid Drunken Monkey. Giving names like animals to your fiancé, seriously you are so unromantic. Mukilan and Nilan are far better than you. They are calling me as Blueberry and gulabjamun", Pradhi huffed and started eating again.

"Hi", someone said from behind. It was Mrudhula, she came with her daughter to visit the temple.

"Hi", Aitri wished her and took the baby in her arms. "Your husband didn't come with you?", Aarvik questioned her.

"No, he don't believe in God.", Mrudhula said and looked down.

"What are you going to name the baby then?", Chaaya asked excitedly also to divert the topic..

"Well, you guys suggest some names actually. The priest has given us the letters" saying this she gave them Tamil letters.

"What about Akshaya?", Muki said. Everyone said it is old. "How about Siyara?", Dhruv suggested.

"Layanika", Aitri said and baby grabbed her hands tightly.

"I think she loves the name given by Aiyu more", Aathika said.

"Layanika it is.", Mrudhula finalized.

"Don't tell your husband that Aitri gave this name otherwise he won't keep that name.", Rakshan said coldly.

"I am really sorry for Aryan's and Appa's behavior. I don't know what happened in the past and I can't change it too. But I really wish you all talk and solve your misunderstanding.", Mrudhula said.

"Your husband tried to kill Aitri. Do you know that?", Aarvik got up and went near Mrudhula.

"See Mrudhu, you are like a sister to me. I am telling you this, ask your husband to stay away from my family. Otherwise I won't spare him", Aarvik almost warned her. Mrudhula had tears in her eyes.

"Viku just stop scaring her. It is not her fault for god's sake.", Aitri shouted at him and Layanika started crying as if knowing someone is shouting at her mom.

Aarvik took her from Aitri and stopped her cry. She snuggled more to him.

"She loves you both. She never stopped crying in this whole week when Aryan took her in his arms. Maybe you guys really have pure heart. Babies are equal to god. So they can feel the purity", Mrudhula said looking at them. Mrudhula started to leave and everyone kissed baby;s cheeks.

"Mrudhula, why are you in Kodaikanal? You guys should be in your village right?", Rakshan asked her.

"We just came here for the hotel project I was three months pregnant at that time. We will leave next week.", saying this she left.

They all went to their house and Maya bid her goodbye that evening itself saying she don't want to be a hurdle.

The next day everyone went back to their village again. Nilan and Shivani were waiting in Palace with Aaradhya. Already Charumathi and Parvathi did all the rituals to welcome her. Shivani felt blessed to have these kinds of people with her and Aaradhya. She knows that Nilan don't have his mother. It's only his father who he has.

Thiyagu entered the palace after he got to know about what happened.

He came straight to Nilan and slapped him.

"HOW DARE YOU?", Thiyagu uncle slapped him again.

Shivani looked perplexed. She now made up her mind to leave the place immediately.

"Uncle, please forgive him. It is all my fault. I should have not listened to him. I will never enter his life again", saying this she picked Aaradhya and took her bags in hands.

Everyone was just stunned in their respective places seeing this scenario.
