The next morning when Siva woke up Aari was getting ready for the coronation and Siva saw she was wearing a saree and heavy jewellery "Are you planning on sitting beside me as a queen?"
Aari stopped applying kumkuma on her hairline and faced him who stood three foot away from her "It's not my place. It never was and it never will be I guess" with a sad smile on her face.
Siva nodded and walked towards her and applied kumkuma on her hairline saying "Good that you atleast realised it now" and went to freshen up.
Every royal member, guests, the police and a few political leaders stood once the king entered the palace throne room and started walking towards the throne, behind him Rajamaata Sivanjani to his right and Hari towards his left as the protector.
Once Siva sat on the throne Meena took the crown and placed it on Siva's head while Hari announced "Long Live the King" making others chorus.
After the coronation Siva started making general talks with the leaders and few business men when senator asked "You haven't introduced the queen yet my king?"
"Here I am Senator" saying Saumya hugged Siva's arm making everyone smile awkwardly. Aarya was standing away near the pillar smiling sadly and sighed closing her eyes.
"Boom!" a voice whispered making Aari jump and face the person and grinned while he continued "How are you princess Aarya? Or should I call you Queen now?"
"Just Aarya will be fine Rana and please not with that formalities again" Aari said while Rana side hugged.
"So How have you been?" Rana asked.
"Fine" Aari said but he didn't miss the sadness in her eyes.
"That fine huh? Let's make my friend cheer up now come on" saying he took a hold of her hand and turned around to drag her out of the palace but blocked by Siva.
"Rana! How are you?" Siva asked coldly making Rana roll his eyes.
"Don't you see my dear friend? I'm busy and you are blocking my way" Rana replied with a grin on his face.
"Aarya did you forget that you should actually meet Swamiji and poojari garu about the event?" Siva asked meeting her gaze.
"It's about to start" Once Aarya said Swamiji stood making everyone calm and nodded towards poojari garu.
"From today until the day of ashtanurapournami that is seven days the queen, first wife of King Sivakesava Rudramaneni will begin her naatya nivedanam and on the seventh day she shall perform in the auspicious temple before the Shivalingam and impress mahadev for our kingdoms wealth and health" Poojari gaaru announced making everyone look at Aarya who stood between Siva and Rana who looked at her.
Aarya sighed and released herself from Rana's grip and started walking towards the ammavari statue and took the naatya nivedanam gajjalu from kumkuma and touched them to her eyes then walked out from the palace silently towards the bedroom.
