Vantae 💜 Taekook

Chapter 2

No one's POV

The evening came in. The family woke up from their nap to have a hot cup of tea with biscuits.

Suddenly, their door bell rang. They were met with a middle aged couple, who didn't seemed to be Indian.

( the following conversation will be in English )

?? : If I'm not wrong, Mr Shiva right?

Mr Shiva : Yes, may I know who you are?

?? : Hello Mr Shiva. I'm Kim Daehyung and this is my wife Kim Taehee. We would like to speak something personal to you and your wife and it would be inappropriate to speak outside.

Mr Shiva : Oh! I'm so sorry Mr and Mrs Kim, please come inside.

( after they came inside, they were provided with some drinks and snacks [ this is how we treat guests in my family ] )

Mr Kim : Let me come straight to the point Mr Shiva. We are from South Korea and we have two sons and a daughter. *paused to look at Mr and Mrs Shiva, who nodded to continue* Our eldest son is in grave danger.

Mrs Shiva : Oh my! What happened?

Mrs Kim : My son is facing some horoscopic problems, which can lead to his death *with teary eyes*

Mr and Mrs Shiva : Shiva Shiva ( here they chant the name of Lord Shiva as they have heard something unpleasant )

Mr Kim : We heard that only his life partner can save him from this problem. And he should be married within this year's June. So we have come to ask your son for our son.

Hearing this, the brother-sister duo who were in their room gasped.

Mr Shiva : But why our son?

Mrs Kim : We have searched world wide. Only your son's horoscope can cancel the problems our son has.

Mrs Shiva : But how did you come to know about our son?

Mr Kim : Our relative had an Indian friend in his workplace. He suggested to ask Mr Vedhachalam ( Jungkook's maternal grandfather ), who had helped him for searching a bride. He is the one suggested that his grandson had the horoscope that we were searching for.

Mrs Kim : And we were informed that only one person in this world had this horoscope. Seems like their unity was planned by the God himself.

Mr and Mrs Shiva looked at each other. Though they were happy that they could be able to save Mr and Mrs Kim's son's life, they had to marry off their son, who had just become a major and had just stepped into higher education. They called Jungkook and asked his opinion, as he is the one who is supposed to take decision about his life.

Mr Shiva : Kookie, I guess you heard what we had discussed. What do you think?

Jungkook : Appa ( father in Tamil ), I think this is something God has decided and who am I to say no to his words? *shyly* I accept to this marriage, appa.

Mrs Shiva : We too accept this marriage. But our only concern is that our son has just entered college and is still young for marriage.. ( usually parents start to look for groom for their daughters at the age of 22 or above [me who had undergone the process and about to get married in 4 months 🙂] )

Jungkook : It's ok amma ( mother in Tamil ). I have all of you to guide me through my marriage life. Umm.. *shyly* w-will your son agree to this marriage?

Mrs Kim : Our son said he's ok with anything we decide for his goodness.

Mr Shiva : So when can we have the marriage, Mr Kim?

Mr Kim : We heard that March 7 is an auspicious day. So we can have the marriage on that day.

Mr Shiva : But we have only one week till marriage and we have a lot of rituals for that. Also we're Hindus and you're Christians. In what way the marriage will take place?

Mr Kim : It is best to do only the most important rituals as the world is facing pandemic and invite only your closest ones to avoid crowd in the pandemic.

Mrs Kim : Also we would like to conduct the marriage as per both Hindu and Christian way.

Mr Kim : Umm... Mr Shiva...

Mr Shiva : Is there anything you want to inform us, Mr Kim?

Mr Kim : Yes, it's that my son is actually possessed by a demon named RAVNOC. This demon will only come out after a certain period of time after their marriage, which we don't know. And when the demon comes out, your son will eradicate it. But...

Mrs Shiva : But what Mr Kim?

Mrs Kim : When the demon is eradicated, my son will lose all his memories about your son 😔

Hearing this, Jungkook and his family gasped in horror. His parents were now questioning whether to marry their son off, as they know that the groom will soon forget everything about their son and leave him alone. Whereas Jungkook stood in deep thoughts and decided to state his thoughts.

Jungkook : Appa, I'm ready to marry him.

Mrs Shiva : Kookie, please think twice before saying-

Jungkook : Amma, I have thought about it well. I have a strong feeling that if God will make him lose his memory, I'm sure he will show us a way for us to get back together. I'm sure that our love will bring us back together, for I know that everything God has planned to happen in my life is for good in someway or the other.

Mrs Kim : *holds Jungkook's hands and cries* Thank you, thank you so much Jungkook for saving my son.

Mr Shiva : Well, if my son is ok with this marriage, then we accept too.

Mr Kim : Thank you so much Mr Shiva.
