Have you ever thought that you would go back in time? Especially, 1000 years ago?
Have you ever thought you would fall in love with a person there?
Would you develop feeling for the person you hate the most?
How would you feel if they reciprocate...

A week passed by just like that. There was no evidence against Aarthi. There were still people pending to enquire but I made sure more than half of them were enquired.
Also, there was a lot of problems going on in my dynasty. There's chances of a war breakdown. I decided to appoint some more people to enquire the people who attended the ceremony.
I went back to my dynasty because my father wanted to meet me. I hated to see his face but anyway I am meeting him because the minister said it's an emergency.
Once I entered the palace, there was a dead silence. I walked upstairs towards his room and I entered with a knock.
There were ministers, Tharun, doctors and my father was laying in the bed, sick.
"What happened?", I asked Tharun and he sighed.
"While he was going for a hunt, someone attacked him. The arrow injured him deeply. The doctors said he can't survive more than 2 days..", he said.
"Already Pandiyas are going to war against us and it's going to get worse..", I said and he nodded.
"We should keep this as a secret. If the emperor dies, it's the right time for Pandiyas to attack us and we shouldn't give them the chance.", He said in which I agreed.
"I heard Ezhil also is helping the Pandiyas to war against us. One of our spy informed that he saw him in Pandiyas' main palace.", He said.
"That bastard! Order our men to change the weapon storage to somewhere else and put as many guards in the border. I don't want an insect to enter into our dynasty for three days.", I said.
"Three days?"
"Yeah. Anyway, there's only one or two days for our father. And, we should prepare for a war.", I said and he was shocked.
"Isn't there any other way to avoid this war? Can't we have a peaceful talk? The war is going to destroy many people's life, Arjun. Not only soldiers but also the people are gonna suffer.", He said.
"There would've been a chance for a peaceful talk if Ezhil wasn't there. You know about Ezhil right? If he plans something, he won't rest until he does that.", I said and he closed the eyes sighing.
"Fine, I'll order the men..", he said leaving outside.
My father wasn't conscious and he looked so pale. What do I call this? Karma? Or fate? Is he suffering for the sins he have done for many women or fate is playing with me?
I could feel how the situation was getting worse day by day. I can sense already that the war is going to be a disaster and I have no idea how much lives it's gonna cost.
I looked at my father who opened his eyes slightly struggling to keep it open.
