Anirudh's POV

I was frustrated with anu's mom actions. Each and every word that spilled out from her mouth about my girl hurted me like sharp needle.

More than that, which poke my heart deeply was when my lolly pie sat there on the couch like an innocent kid when her mom warned her and pinched her to behave properly.

She must have thought that I didn't see what her mom did to her. But my eyes looked at that point sharply and that's were my anger boiled up. I couldn't control it so I had to lash it out.

As I couldn't think anything straight, I brought my lolly pie out of her house and I tied the knot on her neck in a temple near my studio.

She didn't utter a word nor look at me. I know she was stunned and shocked with my actions. Every girl would definitely be shocked when something happens beyond their imagination.

I know, this might be selfish but I needed her for me and I wanted to prove people who she is. She is now Mrs.Anirudh, unofficially.As my marriage happened among within my friends guidance i don't have the ability to make it official to everyone yet.

Well, yes this was a terrible news to my family. I did something beyond their expectations and thought. None of them in my family didn't dare to face me or welcome my anika.

My mom, My dad, were against me with their thoughts. I convinced them so much but they didn't change their mind. My dad was so frustrated and angered with me.

Literally, he decided to send me away from the house but then my sister Vaishnavi, convinced my dad to make us both stay here because of the status we hold and for the outsiders.

Out of all these, which hurted me more was my mom's words where she talked ill about Anika just like her mom. I don't know why everyone hates her and doesn't understand her character.

I was so surprised with my mom's utterance. She is the person who loves me so much and does things for my good but I never thought she will also talk just like my dad.

No one understands my feelings either anika's ! I thought to myself, disheartened.

"You have choosed a gem to our family. You're really lucky to have anika in your life da !" These words came out from my sister Vaishnavi. I was happy that one person in my family understood my pain, my feelings,my everything.

I didn't know what to gift her for those words instead I hugged her tightly with all my might. Vaishnavi is always a great pillar for me since my childhood. More than a sister she is a very good best pal to me.

"Anika kudaa pesunaa time yeppdi poodhunae theriyamaatingidhu. I just loved that 2 hours time I spent with her.She is so cute to handle.Im still surprised that girl's like this still exists in this world." She said.

I stood there smiling at her with lack of words. "I wonder how people hates a girl where is she just by herself so kind hearted and sweet. I'm seriously saying you're just so lucky Ani." She said. This totally gave me a pleasant feel to my ears and my heart.

I'm glad that my sister feels the same as my thoughts and so blessed to hear that anika have touched my sister's heart.Vaishu advised me a lot on this case and energised me with lot of positivities. I feel relieved and happy that she was there for me at this particular time.

"Thank you so much Vaishu ! Thank you so much for understanding my niku. I love you so much." I said, giving a brotherhood huggie.

"Hey! Come on, What kind of a sister I'm when I don't understand my brother feelings ? Stay happy with your love da that's all matters for me now. Soon amma and appa will accept Anika as their daughter in law. Hope for the best!" Vaishnavi said, concernedly.

A bright smile appeared on my face with that I entered into my room and saw my lolly pie sitting on the bed lonely. She seemed like she was so bored.

I smiled to myself and walked towards her. I just loved the peace in my room which elites me happy. My lolly pie entered into my house, my room, as my wife. I welcomed her from bottom of my heart, warmingly when others in my house didn't.

I don't know if we both are going to live as a happy husband and wife but I will always be a good friend, well wisher to her unless she loves me and accepts me as her husband.

She still haven't accepted my proposal nor the chain that's hanging on her neck. Let her take time and think about this, slowly. That's all what my heart says.

I took a deep breath and slowly took my seat beside her and cleared my throat. She turned around and looked at me casually. Her face was elegance so brightly and I was just off with her beauty.

She looked like a doll. I blinked my eyes and cleared my throat again. But she was so casual doing something on her phone and silent.

"Anika ?" I called her, unsurely.

"Sollu, Anil !" Anika said, focusing her concentration in me.

I was dazed by the way she turned around and faced me. Dam her innocence kills me.

" I'm sorry for whatever happened in the morning. I know you must have not expected this from me. But I didn't know what to do to save you away from your mom. I married you without even asking a word to you nor I didn't even let you talk. It's all because I needed you as my wife.Only YOU." I said, holding her hand.

"I don't know what to say. Everything feels like a dream. And I can't talk like you anil. More over I don't know how to take things serious. I don't know whether I will be able to give you the happiness that you need from me." Anika said.

"You staying beside me itself is a hundred life happiness for me. And it's not necessary you should talk so serious like me because I know you can't speak that way. Most importantly, you can be however you like to be in this house. You have all the freedom, you can still maintain that immature and childish character in you. Because that's what I like in you the most." I said, cupped her cheeks.

She looked around my room weirdly, examining everything's around it. I looked curious with her actions. I had no idea why she was scanning my room like that.

"Hey! Yenna appdi paakuraa?" I asked.

"Illa, naa yen veetula anu kuda thaan thunguven avaala iruki kaati pudichi thunguven. Anaa ippo ingaa naa yaara kaati pudichi thunguraadhu? Teddy bear kudam illa un room la." Anika said, like a kid.

I smiled at the way her reactions went. She is so cute. Oh dam ! I felt like pinching her cheeks but I controlled myself.

"Hahaha, idhu thaan un perachana yaa? Kaavala paadadhaa naaliki naa unnaku oru periyaa arrangement eh pandraa yen room la. But inniki indhaa pillow kaati pudichi thunguu." I said, offering her a soft pillow.

Instantly, I saw that smile crept on her face. These small things in her makes me happy. She hugged the pillow and suddenly her face turned pale.

And I turned clueless with her reaction. I looked deep into her eyes, it was dark red as tears welled up her eyes. My heart beated fast, seeing those salty tears in her eyes.

All I aimed for is not to let a single tear drip down her cheeks. I quickly moved closer to her and cupped her cheeks. I was so confused actually.

"Hey lollypie ! What's wrong now? Why are you crying?" I asked, tensely.

"I miss anu." Anika said.

I stilled myself in shock.

"She have always been there for me. But now I'm away from her. She is the one who always makes me to sleep. I miss her. I wonder what she is doing alone in home without me. I want to see her." Anika said, crying.

"Don't cry ma for all these. You can go see her tomorrow and you can go out whenever you like. I'm not going to restrict you okay. Anu will also miss you but she will beat me if she comes to know that I made her sister cry." I said.

She smiled within her tears. Yes, I made her smile. I gently rubbed the tears from her eyes and made her to sleep peacefully.

"Anil, ungaa amma pasam aachum yennaku kedaikum aah ?" Anika questioned.

I was flabbergasted with her question. I bulged up my eyes and looked at her speechless, once again. I understood how hurtful her heart was without her mom's love. I don't know whether to say yes or no to her question.

I don't know if she knows whether my mom likes her or not. She asked that question to me so doubtfully. But one thing for sure, though my parents shows love towards her or not my love to her will always stay firmly with no hatred.

I just nodded my head slightly meaning yes at the same time no. But she took my nod as yes and gifted me a warm smile. That smile from her broke my heart. I faked a smile and caressed her hair making her to sleep.

I loved the way she enveloped herself with the pillow and duvet on her. I couldn't stop myself from admiring her cuteness. I wished to stay up all night and adore her just like this. And so, I did.

Anika's POV

The sun beamed upon my face, my gaze was locked onto the cloudless sky, through my pulled curtains in my room. It's a shining blue that could allow me feed off its beauty and love forever.

A pleasant new vibes around me, I loved the sight which grabbed my eyes, the soft stream of breath that crossed my sense. He was sleeping soundly, with no disturbance. None of the girl's wouldn't resist a thing on this. He looked cute af.

I jumped off my bed and walked towards to the bathroom to do my daily routines. I seriously don't know how to explain my feels being in anirudh's home. Every girl's dream will be meet her role model once in her life. But here, I'm living as her son's wife in the house.

Yes, Mrs.Lakshmi Ravichander is my role model for my passion. I could say that I have admired a lot of uniqueness in her, when my bharathanatiyam teacher gave a lecture about her. I just feel this is too much of me to accept, as a simple girl im not able to take it in.

I do know how his parents feel right now me being here. They don't like me just like my parents. To make them happy and to give a good life to anirudh, I'll just stay as his friend and leave him soon. I'm not ready for this typical marriage life.

I descended myself downstairs, after a quick shower. I saw anirudh's mom in the living hall having her morning coffee. My body shivered in nervousness, her so strict face gave me a horrified feel.

I quickly ran towards the kitchen frightened and breathed out fastly. Just then, my eyes glanced at Vaishnavi preparing something in the kitchen.

"Hi, Vaishu sister !" I said, waving my hands standing at the doorstep of the kitchen.

"Hey! Good morning. How do you feel under this new environment ? Did you have enough sleep." Vaishu asked, concernedly.

"Everything seems so different to me. Yes, I slept so peacefully but anil kept the A/C in 18 degree and it was freakingly cold. How does he even sleep in that cold ?" I said, with a pout face.

"Haha, he is always like that. Okay here have your coffee and give this one to ani." She said, while hand over me anirudh's coffee cup.

Vaishnavi made a move from the kitchen and I stood there examining the place, having my coffee. After that, I entered to anirudh's room with a smiling face. He was still sleeping.

I slowly went closer to him kneed myself down, placing the coffee cup on the table nearby and looked at him adoringly.

"Anil ! Anil !" I called him, in a very low tone where only the fan running sound could be heard behind.

There was no sign from him. I shrieked my face and looked at him with a sulky look. I stretched my body a bit upward and shook him.

"Squirrel wake up !" I yelled.

He still didn't wake up and I was so fed up.

"Squirrel wake up !" I shouted near to his earlobe.

Well, that was so bad to do. But I love to wake up my favourite people's this way and spoil their good sleep. And he finally, woke up and faced me in a sleepy haze.

"Good morning !" I said, grinning broadly.

"Morning!" He replied.

It sounded like an unhealthy one, I looked down at the floor with a sad face as his voice didn't give me a happy feel. Suddenly, I felt an arm covering my cheeks, flipping my hair away.

"Yenna ma ?" He said, with a very sweet tone.

I looked up at him in an awestruck position. That "ma" from his voice was new and pleasant to my ears. I reminded silent hearing that one word in repeat into my ears.

He got up slightly, with a curve smile on his lips and raised his eyebrow asking a question to me.

"I-I want to go see anu." I finally spoke up.

"Sure you can go. Do you want me to drop you at her hospital ?" He asked, politely.

"Uh ! No I-I will go by myself." I replied, still in a shock.

He shrugged his shoulders and moved on. He is so humbly sweet! I couldn't talk a word when he uttered that sweet word in his voice. It was so soulful and touched my heart deep. But all these things won't make me to fall for him in love! I was sure about that.

I stood infront of the mirror combing my hair, right there I noticed down my neck a chain, the nuptial chain, which marked me as his. I held it up in my hand and admired it.

Every girl will feel elated when they see this chain on their neck but I felt it so awkward because of the way how it came to my neck. As I stood admiring the chain a smile crept appeared on my lips rewinding the moments how anirudh tied the knot on my neck.

"Pudichiiruka ?" A soft masculine voice was heard from behind.

My eyes stiffed, putting down the chain and looked up at the person's reflection on the mirror. It was anirudh who stood behind me, leaving an inch gap for our body to crush each other. A smirk was seen on his face. I looked at him sternly.

"No !" I said, nonchalantly.

His face went down resembling a sad expression. I smiled to myself seeing his sad face and pushed him away, exiting myself out of his room.

In about 30 minutes, I reached anu's hospital. "Dam this chennai traffic will never get an end ! Thank god I reached before anu's busy schedule." I said, to myself as I got into the elevator to reach her room in 3rd floor.

My face elegance brightly as I was getting nearer to anu's room. I was dam excited to envelope her with my huggies. Just then, I heard a man's voice sceptically.

I felt like I have heard this man's voice somewhere and those creepy moan sounds gave doubts in me as I eavesdropped. I know it's bad but I was curious to know who it must be.

"Just one more time anu ?" The man persuaded.

My mouth opened widely, knowing the person. It was none other than shashank inside the room with my sister anu. I cleared my throat, pretending like I didn't hear nor see anything and knocked the door like a goodie.

"Yeah, come in !" Anu voiced.

I opened the door and entered in with a smirk on my face. I couldn't hide my laugh but I had to. Anu was so surprised to see me there, while shashank faced the other side as I spoiled everything.

"Hey niku! What a surprise? When did you come here ?" Anu said, giving a side hug to me.

"Ugh! I came here when shanky was asking just one just one to you !" I said, sticking out my tongue.

Anu blushed in silence, knowing what I actually meant. Shashank faced hell tugging his fingers in his hair and blushed. I deviously smiled at smelling at their act. Well to say, I actually embarrassed them.

"So, Mrs.Anika Anirudh how was your welcome in our rockstar's house." Anu said, expecting a warm answer from me.

"It wasn't good enough I could say. His parents hates me. And I'm not able to accept this typical marriage life." I said, feeling broken.

"Hey niku! Don't say like that. They must have not thought ani would do this. Neither did we expect this from ani ? No right! So, chill and be happy with anirudh soon his parents will love you." Anu said, cheering me up.

But I wasn't in the mood to cheer up or feel happy about it. All I wanted is to leave Anirudh soon and carry my own work.

"But I don't love Anirudh. Then how I can be happy with him." I said.

"He loves you. That one is enough he will definitely make you fall for him." Shashank said, boldly.

"Challenging ?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"No ! I'm just saying the fact and the truth." Shashank said, with a smile on his face.

I fixed my gaze on the floor, thinking about the truth which shashank uttered. Well, he has a point too but if Anirudh really makes me to fall for him then I can't be by my own and I won't be able to achieve my goal. Just then, Anu diverted my mind and asked alot about what had happened in anirudh's house.

I told her everything about what anirudh had talked to me last night and about Vaishnavi. How sweet she was and how supportive she was. "I'm glad to get another sister like you anu !" I said, with a smiling face.

I was so sure that Anu was so happy to me like this. But still deep inside I miss her although she is just infront of me. I miss her care, her sweet talk, her sportive everything in her. I just sat there admiring her.

"Hrmm, okay anu I'm leaving to studio will meet you at night." Shashank interrupted.

"Bubu you still want that one from my sister ?" I said, teasingly.

Anu bit a laugh, blushing. While Shashank didn't know how to react.

" You'll never stop embarrassing me." Shashank said, under his breath.

I smiled, sticking my tongue out and winked at him.

" You get that one from my sister in a romantic place. This is hospital so behave yourself bubu." I said, sarcastically.

"Anu, I better leave or else your sister will burry me with her teasings." Shashank said, leaving the place.

"No wait ! I will also come with you. I want to see Anil." I said, innocently.

"Okay come faster." He said.

I quickly bid a goodbye to Anu, giving a hug and pecked a kiss on her cheeks. That half an hour was so good with Anu. I felt like my anu is still there within me.

And now, I was on the way to meet anirudh with Shanky. The ride was quite talkative as me and shanky talks alot when we both be together. This is what you guys call it as true sister-brother love.

And we both finally reached Albuquerque. We didn't know how long the drive took but we felt it was quite fast.

I got down of the car and noticed a black Audi car infront of the Albuquerque. I have never seen that car before here so I looked curious at it.

"Shanky, whose car is that ?" I asked.

" I think Sivakarthikeyan brother must be here." He said, so casually.

Literally, I was excited. I was dam excited. As I'm a huge fan of him I couldn't wait to take a selfie with him. The moment when he exclaimed it as Sivakarthikeyan! I quickly climbed upstairs, excitedly to meet him.

I bursted into anirudh's studio room, without giving a knock. And there he was, wearing a white Levi's shirt and jean. He looked freaking smart in that outfit. He was still in that Remo look with that stylish beard.

I was just stunned in awe. I walked towards the place and I was totally dazed. "Omg Sivakarthikeyan sir !" I screamed, in an utter surprise.

He looked at me clueless and he gifted a charming smile at me. I was dead at the spot I couldn't control my fan moment feelings. Well, anirudh was there but I didn't bother about him.

"Omg sir ! I'm huge huge fan of you. I never thought I would meet you this early. I watch all your movie on the first day of its release." I said.

He stood there smiling at the same time he was confused who I must be.Anirudh was so frustrated with my actions, he was thinking how to control me.

"I loved Remo so much. But honestly to say, Ethirneechal and Rajinimurugan are my two favourite movie of yours." I said.

"Haha, Thank you so much." He said, smilingly.

"Sir, Sir Ca-Can I take a selfie with you ?" I asked, nervously.

"Yeah sure !" He said, humbly.

"Anika, stop and go out !" Anirudh said, raising his voice a little.

Immediately, I faced down, hurtfully. His words kinda gave a shock to my heart. And his face was flattered in anger. I don't know why he behaved this way to me but this was the very time he spoke up raising his face to me.

"Anil, why ?" I asked, in a low tone.

"I said go out now !" He said, crushing his teeth.

After seeing him angrily, I couldn't stay there anymore. My eyes were about to well up with tears but I controlled it. I returned back to his house worriedly and walked towards anirudh's room, brokenly.

My mind was erupted with so much of thoughts why Anirudh behaved like that ? Did I act so wrong infront Sivakarthikeyan sir ? I couldn't find an answer for my thoughts.

I believed that Anirudh loves my childish character and understood me well. But why ? Why did he tell me to go out harshly ? Squirrel, you're an idiot!

Thinking about these, I didn't watch down the steps I was walking and suddenly my leg got slipped by the carpet, hurted my knee on the table nearby and a loud bang was heard.

I terribly hit my head on the table's edge and all the stuffs on the table fell right on my head. It was badly painful , everything seemed blur at that time. I shook my head to get a clear vision, getting up from the place and found my in laws portrait frame broken into pieces.

I rubbed my head and knelt down to clean it but before I could proceed. I felt a hand across my face slapping me hard, as my head snapped to one side. I slightly turned to face the person, having my hand on my one cheek and I was shocked.

My whole body was stiffed, freezingly, and my skin turned pale in nervousness as a tear dropped under my cheek. I don't know for what reason why I was slapped.
