I was waken up by someone literally shaking me and patting my cheeks.

"Wake up. You can sleep after having your dinner.", A voice whispered near my ear as I opened my eyes slowly.

I saw Arjun's face at the next moment I opened my eyes. It was actually good looking at his face the next moment I open my eyes.

"When did I sleep? I last remember reading a book.", I said lethargic.

"Yeah. I last remember you reading kids book when I carried you to my room.", He said as I smiled sluggish.

"Get up. Let's have food.", He said getting up from the bed.

"But, I want to sleep. 5 minutes", I said as I again grabbed the duvet again and he grabbed it back from me throwing it on the couch. I whined.

"Let's have our food, Princess.", He said as I felt I air. Oh shit! He's carrying me on bridal style!

He carried me to the dining table and placed me on my seat. I was sluggish to even notice the three woman. The maids served me food and I ate like a sloth.

"I want to talk to you about something after having dinner.", Arjun stated as the three woman glared at me.

"Ok. Then I'll be eating slowly. I know what you're gonna talk..", I said and he chuckled which made me drown in confusion.

He's going to announce that I'm gonna be his concubine from next week on. Am I right?

I ate my food damn slowly as Arjun was waiting very patiently. Get tensed, man! I was very damn slow. I never seen someone so patient in this whole world.

I finally finished my dinner after 1 hour. He was in the dining table waiting for me the whole one hour. He's so eager to announce me that I'm gonna be a concubine.

I gritted my teeth as I washed my hands and rinsed my mouth. He was watching my every move as if I was his prey.

"Let's go", he said after I was done washing my hands for literally 5 minutes. He took me to his room where I was sleeping. Wait! Hell yeah. I was sleeping in his room. How did I come into his room when I was reading book in my room.

He locked the door making me more nervous. Why can't he just leave me? Or he's planning for something else?

"Do you remember the queen trying to selling you off when you were a child?", He asked and I blinked. How can I remember when I'm not Thara?

Oh yeah. Now I understand, the news have spread all around.

"Uhh... Yeah. It was traumatic.", I said. I was trying to tell him by the information mom said me on our wedding day.

"It's ok. Is that real? Don't take me wrong. I was just clarifying with you."

"Do you think it could be a rumour? I said it was traumatic. It means it have happened right?", I said as he plopped on the bed beside me.

"Yes. Does your father knows this?", He asked. How do I know?

"I don't know. I was young. Ask Tamizh or mother about this. Leave me.", I said waving him off.

"Well let's end this topic then. You said you know what am going to talk about. I'm pretty sure you don't know I would take this topic. Can I know what were you expecting me to talk?", His question made me gulp.

"Umm... Nothing. I was just joking. Well. Let's sleep. Good night and I got to go to my room."

"Wait, sweetheart. You're going to sleep on my room from now on.", He stated which made my eyes widen. I've never shared my bed with someone before.

"What?", Was the only word that left my mouth. I don't know what else to say.

"Yes. I shifted your things here. You can do whatever you want in this room. Am I clear?", He said and I nodded.

"So, what are you going to do after 2 weeks? You have to make me your concubine. Am I going to sleep in your room after 2 weeks?", I asked and he shook his head slowly smirking at me.

"So, this was the one you were expecting me to talk.", He is smart..

"Well, let's sleep.", I said as I buried myself inside a duvet.

I slept instantly as I felt the bed so comfortable.

I slowly opened my bed to see a handsome face of my husband beside me. Woww. I wish there was a camera here to shoot this handsome man.

I smiled slightly and streched my arms groaning. The time was just 5:00 a.m. I wonder how I got up so soon.

I felt him moving. He slowly opened his eyes. As soon as his eyes met mine, he gently smiled. He was looking so cute.

We spent time together the whole day. It was so good to be with him.

Days passed and two weeks have finally passed and it was finally a night before their wedding. There are times when I was bored and prayed that time should move fast. But, I wish time passed very slow.

Because everything's going to change after Aarthi's arrival. She's going to ruin my happiness. I spent my quality time with him the whole two weeks. From tomorrow on, I will be not able to. She will snatch it from me for sure.

In fact, Arjun's her love. I'm no one to intrude. My thoughts were interrupting by Arjun entering the room. I was trying to show myself happy because I don't want him to think I'm not happy for this marriage.

Because, he loved her for 9 years. Despite the fact that I cheated on him, he spent his time happily with me. I should show my gratitude. He laid on bed as I looked at him.

"Aren't you getting jealous that I'm going to marry her?", His voice came up.

Yes. I am.

"No. She's your love afterall. It was me who's the traitor of your love. I'm sorry.", I said turning the other side.

"Your situation was something like that to do such thing. Don't worry. I already threw it out of my mind. Answer me truthfully. Aren't you scared that she'll not let me spend time with you?", He asked. I should answer truthfully.

"Yes. Also, she will start bullying me again. Unlike my palace there's three companions for her in here."

"Don't worry. I will not let them. I know how she used to bully you. I will set someone who can report me about everything and warn them."

Somewhat your words are soothing. But, I don't know if you mean it.

"Ok. Good night", I said and didn't wait for his reply and slept.

This two weeks are unforgettable for me. I've never been happy like in my whole lifetime. You may not be mine. But, thanks for the memories you gave me, Arjun.

At the next moment I know, sleep consumed me.

The next morning, I woke up to see no-one beside me. The time was 8:00 a.m.. it's his marriage in 1 hour. I hurried to fresh up and wore my dress with accessories.

I feel very bad that I'm getting ready so beautiful to see my husband marry someone I hate the most. I feel a little...jealous after he spent 2 weeks very happy with me.

No Thea! Catching feelings would be a disaster!

I need to see this. I need to see the truth that he doesn't belong to me but Aarthi. Yes. He belongs to Aarthi.

I saw the time which was sharp 8:50 a.m. I went outside and saw the whole palace decorated more beautifully than for our wedding. Everyone was already downstairs to see the wedding.

I went downstairs slowly. A part of me was saying not to see this. But, I want to see the truth.

I was finally downstairs and looked at the mandap where the pandit already started to chant mantras. I looked at everything. I looked their marriage without blinking.

I was facing the truth. I have to go back to my own timeline anyways. It was a little hurting. But, I saw it fully till it's over. Anyway, polygamy is very simple here. Kings have many mistress. I shouldn't take it serious.

Aarthi and Arjun was happy. Now, Aarthi is officially Arjun's side consort. Yeah, I'm his main consort. But, a part of me was jealous whenever I think that a lot of girls touch me and have rights on him like me.

A tear slipped my face as I wiped it quickly before anyone could notice. It's been 10 or 12 years since I cried for someone. Since I teared for someone. Lastly, I remember crying that my family was against me when I filed a complaint against my father.

I stayed silent in the same place as the crew started disappearing. Aarthi and Arjun got blessings. I felt a palm on my shoulder and turned back to see Tamizh who was looking at them too.

"Seems like you've got attached to him in 2 weeks. Don't worry. You're the only one in his heart. Then why would he argue to his mom that you will remain as main consort.."

"Did he?", I asked as he nodded.

"But, I feel not right that Aarthi is going to be his side consort. I feel.... jealous. But, that's how things are supposed to be.", I said as he grinned.

"So, you've got attached till you get jealous when he touches another woman.", He said and I nodded truthfully.

They were doing the rituals while Tamizh was soothing me.

"Where is mother?", I asked as he hesitated.

"Umm... She's... Not well.", He said and I was nervous the next second.

"What happened?"

"After you left after your marriage. Main consort and Aarthi was really mad at us. Our father was also sick. He was on the bed for 1 whole week because he was tired. I was out to carry on father's duty. Mother was alone in the palace.", He paused.

"What happened next?"

"There was a fight between main consort and our mom. Mom tried to resist her while she have to fell down from the stairs. We treated her. But, her legs aren't supporting her. The doctor said she'll be able to walk soon.", He finished sighing.

"Why I wasn't informed?", I yelled.

"Because there's a lot of distance between chola's and chera's kingdom. Moreover, mom doesn't want you to know because you might be worried."

I want to go see her. Because when I don't know how truly mom's love will feel like, she showed me. She showered me with love. How can I just stay here knowing that she's sick?

"T-Then.. take me to mom. Please. I want to see her.", I was literally in the edge of crying.

"Also, why did you leave mother alone in that palace? She's alone, Tamizh.", I said.

"She'll be fine. I set some of my men to guard her from threats and some maids to serve her. She's perfectly fine."

"But, she wants someone with her, Tamizh!", I yelled.

That's when Arjun's eyes met mine. I could see he was really uncomfortable to do these rituals infront of me. But, I don't have time for this.

"Please take me to mom.", I literally begged to Tamizh.

"Ask permission with your husband. And then, we can go.", He said which got my nerves.

"Why should I ask him?"

"Because he's your husband."

Without any choice, I paced towards Arjun who was doing some rituals with her. I was hesitating and reluctant to go see him while he was doing ritual with his love.

But, I have to..

I went near him and he was really more uncomfortable after having me near him.

"Mom's sick. I will go with Tamizh to look after her.", I simply informed him while he held my hand.

"Wait. Don't go until I say. Wait with your brother. I will come with you after I'm done with these rituals.", He muttered to me.
