Saanvika walked out of the room. She pressed her lips together as she saw Pradush sitting at the sofa watching her intently. She bite the inside of her cheeks as she walked towards Amisha's room. Saanvika knocked on the door and opened it slightly, letting out a small giggle seeing the girls playing Disney Princess.
" I will bring snacks in a while," Saanvika told them and closed the door.
She exhaled her breath softly as she felt Pradush watching her back intently.
" They could be ours," Pradush said causing Saanvika to stiffened.
" If only you were insistent like me, then all this trouble and nonsense would not have happened," Pradush continued causing Saanvika to close her eyes as she let out a resigned breath.
" I never liked you in that manner!" Saanvika said causing Pradush to chuckle.
" I don't believe it. " Pradush said and got up. Saanvika furrowed her eyebrows as the man looked at her intently.
" You made all our lives to be in hell. If you agreed to marry me then Illakiya might have married Ani. We all would be living happily. Instead not only you seduced me, you seduced my brother and did a stupid thing by tying that rope on your neck! Then you used it to get into his bed, drugging him and once it was done you did the same to Shiva. If the children looked like you, would you have claimed them as Anirudh's or mine or Shiva?" Pradush said causing Saanvika to look at the man with shock and disgust.
" Pradush Anna!" Rishikesh voice rang out causing Saanvika to immediately walk and stand behind Rishikesh while the man looked shocked at Pradush.
" Don't let the slut seduce you and ruin your life. Dhira is not as nice and forgiving like Illakiya," Pradush said causing Rishikesh to shake his head.
" Are you okay ?" Rishikesh turned and asked Saanvika who closed her eyes and trembled. She let out a shout and moved away when Rishikesh touched her shoulder causing him to blink looking stunned.
" Rishi ? Yenna...Saanvika?" Anirudh's voice came as the man walked down the stairs.
" What's wrong ?" Anirudh asked causing Rishikesh to open his mouth when Saanvika held his wrist and shook her head.
Anirudh tilt his head as he looked at Saanvika who immediately took her hands from Rishikesh's wrist.
Saanvika gave a small smile to Rishikesh and walked away quickly while Anirudh furrowed his eyebrows as she sidestepped from him and walked away.
" Dude, did you love her or Illakiya?" Rishikesh said causing Anirudh's eyes to bulge as he choked on his breath.
" What the f*ck! Rishi!" Anirudh spluttered causing Rishikesh to raise his eyebrows in defiant.
" What ? I am confused with everyone's behaviour. Why did you marry her during Pradush engagement? Why didn't Amma and Appa marry her to Pradush since he really liked her ?" Rishikesh asked causing Anirudh to grit his teeth.
" She doesn't like Pradush!" Anirudh said and stalked away causing Rishikesh to scoff.
" At least you both agree on one thing;" Rishikesh said loudly as he watched Anirudh stiffned slightly before marching away.

Anirudh's eyes widened as he saw a petite and slender blonde girl walking with Ganesh. He turned to his left and looked at Luna and Amisha who both were frowning as they eyed the blonde.
" She is an Icelandic?" Anirudh asked Luna who wrinkled her nose.
" Our village president daugther," Sheila said looking as tho she swallowed a whole lemon.
" Yea Anna's not good after dating her," Luna said and her mother nod causing Anirudh to raise his eyebrows as he turned and looked at Saanvika.
" Are they both 6 ?" Anirudh asked Saanvika who rolled her eyes.
She stood up and smiled at Isnovia who pursed her lips together as her icy blue eyes scanned around the room. The girl's face turned pink seeing Amisha and her brothers, causing her to wrap her claws on Ganesh's arm.
" You invited them after the fiasco ?" The girl asked in a high tone causing Ganesh to rub his forehead.
He gave an apologetic smile and dragged the girl away slightly while Anirudh snorted.
" Amisha," he called out sternly causing Amisha to gulp and look at him. Adarsh and Aadhi furrowed their eyebrows as they eyed their father.
" You could do so much better than that scarecrow," Anirudh said causing Saanvika to smack her own forehead.
" She's eight Anirudh! Not eighteen!" Saanvika hissed and then looked at Amisha, sternly telling her to apologise to Isnovia when they come back.
Anirudh watched as Amisha stood up and mumbled out her apologies to the girl. Saanvika smiled as she placed her hands on Amisha's shoulder and looked at Isnovia who gave a tiny smirk and nod while Ganesh exhaled his breath and smiled at Saanvika and Amisha.
" Well, what are all of you waiting for ? Let's go and eat," Anirudh said and stood up holding Amisha's hand and brought her away.
Illakiya and Pradush frowned when Shiva got up and took Luna's hand and walked away.
" Is he in a relationship with that woman ?" Pradush asked Illakiya who looked worried while Ravi exhaled his breath and stopped Lakshmi from asking anything.
Sheila hooked her arms with Saanvika and the ladies walked away as they saw the dishes. Rishikesh and Dhira who was waiting at the carving station smiled at them.
" Do you guys eat duck ?" Dhira asked the women who nod their head.
" Great! We will bring the meats for everyone then," Dhira said and Saanvika smiled and thanked the woman.
" So she is nice," Sheila said as she walked towards the Japanese station. Saanvika let out a small smile and nod her head as she placed a sushi on her plate.
" Called you sister by marriage earlier," Sheila continued eying Saanvika who was looking slightly wistful causing Sheila to exhale her breath loudly.
" Has he asked for your hand ?" Sheila asked causing Saanvika to swallow her saliva.
" Sheila...I am going to move to London," Saanvika said causing Sheila to blink.
" Wait, he wants to leave his career and go abroad ? Wow seriously ?" Sheila asked in amazement causing Saanvika to shake her head.
" No...I and the trips," Saanvika said causing Sheila to furrow her eyebrows.
" Saanvi! What do you mean ? Hey you and Shiva said that he don't know about the kids and his a good guy and all! Ippo yennadi solre! Ithuku avan pesame sperms donor ah ve irunturukalam!" Sheila said causing Saanvika to rub her forehead.
" His a good guy ana I can't stay here. Adarsh is getting very volatile. His too worried for me and his taking his anger out on Anirudh. Without Anirudh, they won't be able to have all this luxury," Saanvika said causing Sheila to shake her head.
" This is not the Saanvi I know! Girl! Wake up, avanale inthe luxury lam maybe kuduka mudiyum! But that doesn't mean he gets to treat you all like shit!" Sheila said causing Saanvika to shake her head.
" He doesn't! His just argumentative based and mostly because he doesn't know that he was..." Saanvika said causing Sheila to narrow her eyes.
" He was what ? An arse who got drunk and slept with you and then ditched you ?" Sheila sassed back causing Saanvika to shake her head.
" No Sheila...sighs, I am thirsty. Née sapadu choose panitu va," Saanvika said and walked away causing Sheila to frown as she watched Saanvika going back to the table.
