The Crown Prince and His Love

Chapter 15 |Kannathil Muthamittai|

A Peck On The Cheek

Kundavai walked toward the pond to meet her brothers. She wondered if Adithan was still mad at her. Her long braided hair swooshed side by side in the air as she descended the stairs.

She saw Karikalan and Arulmozhi doing push-ups.

"Two hundred and forty-one," Arulmozhi grunted as he strained his shoulders to go up.

"Two hundred and forty-two," Adithan counted. Arulmozhi's little hands were fumbling. But the little guy was not willing to give up.

"Arulmozhi, it's not too late to give up now," Adithan said as sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Anna, it's not too late for YOU to give up!" Arulmozhi said pushing back down.

"Aha! Fine, I like a good competition," Karikalan grunted.

Kundavai smiled at the loving bond her brothers were having at that moment. She walked towards them, Arulmozhi's head shot up as he heard her sister's anklets.

"Akka is here!" Arulmozhi beamed, a newfound energy entered Arulmozhi's body. Adithan looked up to see her sister standing there in full glory. She was wearing dark red silk clothes and golden jewelry adorned her neck.

Unexpectedly, Adithan gave her a smile. Kundavai returned it back and turned towards her younger brother.

"Akka, Stay here and watch, I'm going to beat Anna," Arulmozhi chimed. Adithan raised a brow at his brother and smirked.

"If you want to get ashamed in front of your sister then be my guest," Adithan laughed.

Their battle went on for what felt like hours, Arulmozhi and Adithan showed no signs of giving up. Kundavai looked at them with a smile on her face while her brothers were trash-talking to each other. Adithan was in the lead, and by a lot, Obviously. He slowed down for his brother to catch up.

"Getting tired, Anna?" Arulmozhi questioned him with a mocking smile. Adithan nodded mockingly and looked up to see a beautiful sight. A sight to behold.

Nandini was just returning from her bath, her wet hair hung freely on her shoulder, She looked like a lily in her white saree. She looked simple, with only a white flower adorning her ear, yet she looked divine.

Nandini looked at Karikalan and blushed a little, He looks so handsome working out, Nandini thought, and smiled to herself. She gave him an elegant smile as she walked past the pond.

Adithan's jaw was on the floor, How could one be this beautiful? He came to a conclusion, no matter how much gold a girl is adorned with, they couldn't match Nandini's natural beauty.

he leaned sideways to see her more clearly, but eventually lost his balance and fell down.

"YEA!" Arulmozhi cheered in victory. "Haha! Anna, you lose! I've defeated the great Karikalar," Arulmozhi got up and clapped victoriously. Kundavai walked up to her brothers and patted Arulmozhi's shoulders.

Adithan got up and dusted the dirt off of his hands. "Good job, Thambi," He slapped his shoulders.

"Okay! I'm hungry, let's go and eat something," Arulmozhi beamed. Kundavai nodded in agreement.

"You guys go, I'm not hungry," Adithan said picking up his sword from the ground.

"It's okay, you come with us," Kundavai said holding her brother's hands. Adithan opened his mouth to object, but Kundavai looked at him with a 'Puppy-face' look which melted Adithan's heart immediately. "Will you not listen to your dear sister?" She asked.
