"Please amma... try to understand me.., i... i can't marry him" She pleaded her mother .
"Tell the exact reason, Why can't you marry him" Her mother raised her voice.
"Because He is my sister husband.. god damm it" She yelled.
"But.. she's no more" reasoned her mother in same tone.
" That's what i'm saying.... my sister is no more... i don't understand one thing... it's just one month since my sister lost her life and You people are in a hurry to make another marriage to your son-in-law... don't you have any shame..." She said furiously but next second her mother hand landed on her cheek.
"Don't you dare to speak like that" said her mother slapping her.
She touched her burning cheek and looked at her mother with wide eyes, who is now fuming in anger..
"What do you think about ourselves... hann.... Do you forgot how much we love her... she is my daughter also... it's not easy for us to do this but we are doing... do you know why" she asked her daughter.
But she didn't said anything just looking at her mother, she went near crib and took sleeping baby in her arms and stood in front her daughter
"See for him.... only For the sake of him" she said showing baby to her.
"Only for him we are doing all this... because we don't want to see my daughter's son grown up without mother and mother's love... that's why we want you became his mother, marrying his father... because we can't trust other women with my grandchild" She said and placed the one month baby boy in ground and start to go but stopped and again faced her daughter.
"She loved you more then anyone... If you want your sister son survive... agree for this marriage or else don't touch him"
She said and lef from there leaving her in her own thoughts. She collapsed on her floor on her knees.
Dr. Satvika...

Her life was going very smooth until her cousin sister Sravani's death. Sravani is her peddananna Rajendra's daughter and her mother radha, two years elder than her. One month back sravani died after giving birth to a baby boy. Satvika was broken hearing the news.
She can't believe that she lost her sister, her friend, her guide, her strength. Sravani and Satvika grown up together, they very close to eachother since childhood, their bond is more stronger than siblings. When she was in broken state her family gave her a biggest shock in her life throwing a marriage proposal on her. It's just one month after her sister death and They want her to get marry, that too her sister husband. How can she marry him.. he is her sister's husband.. no.. it's not right...
Ouin... Wah...
A loud cry brought her out of her thoughts. Satvika looked at the crying baby. e wake up from his sleep and start crying when he didn't felt anyone presence near him. She slowly got up and went near him and about to lift him.
"If you want your sister son survive... agree for this marriage or else don't touch him" her mother's words echoed in her ears. She stopped what she is doing and took step back.
"No.... no... i can't do this.." she said herself and start stepping back.
" I can't... i can't" she stepped back shaking her head sideways rapidly. She stopped once her back hit the wall.
"God.... I can't do this" she gripped her hair.
Ung-eh.. ung-eh
She again looked the baby, who crying continuously his lungs out. Her heart saying her go take him in her arms and comfort him but mind telling her ignore heart words. Go don't go... go, don't. She closed her eyes to stop her tears but it didn't stopped, she cannot able to bear this, she even closed her ear's too but Still she can hear him. His cries getting louder each passing second. She can't take it any more. She rushed towards baby and took him in her arms hugging close to her heart and start rubbing his back.
Feeling someone touch baby stopped crying automatically. She raised her head and looked at the baby who is calm now. He looking at her with his big eyes sucking his thumb and raised his tiny hand to touch her face. A small smile appeared on her seeing him. She kissed his whole face and hugged him close to her heart, tears not stopped coming out of her eyes. She is crying and smiling at the same time.

"Attayya Please don't force me to do this... it's.. it's not possible" He said to janaki trying to make her understand but didn't get any response.
"Mavayya... please you tell attayya to stop... this.. it's... it's wrong... totally wrong.... she is my wife's sister... i can't marry her... "
"Why... is she not suitable to you" asked janaki interrupting him
"I'm not suitable to her... i'm a married man with a child and she... she is too young and naive girl with lots of dreams in her life... she is deserves better than me....
"See... son.... we know it's difficult for you to marry again.. but just think about your son... he needs mother presence... and we can't trust other girl with him.... that's why we decided to get you both marry" Said ramswami.
" Mavayya.. please think about her future.... how can you do this to your own daughter.. please don't ruin your daughter life for the sake of your grandson" he said
"I'm not ruining my daughter life... in fact, i'm giving her better life... trust me" said ramaswami calmly.
"Sorry but i'm not ready for this.... i can't marry her.... i can't ruin her life marrying her.... i can't..." He said facing his back to them.
"Don't forgot about sravani's last words... she wants you get marry again for the sake of baby.... if you love her so much agree for this marriage or else do whatever you want" Said janaki and left from there with her husband giving him chance to decide.
Prithvi..
Prithviraj.. He is orphan... working as manager in chennai ad agency. He is very sweet, calm at the same time little short temper too. Prithviraj and sravani friends in college later their friendship turned into love. First Sravarni family didn't agreed for their marriage because he is orphan so they both married in the registered office without her family will but later sravani's family accepted him.
He was very happy in his life with his wife sravani, waiting for his unborn baby. But his happiness turned into bitter sad when sravani lost her life giving birth to baby. Prithviraj is totally devastated... he lost his wife, his soul... but more than that he is in dilemma now... he don't know what to do... his family wants him to marry again to his wife's sister and it's his wife last wish too. But he don't want to ruin her for the sake of his baby.
When he is in deep thought someone voice disturbed him. He looked that direction and found his mardal (sister-in-law) in balcony of her room with his son in her arms. She's saying something with baby but he can't hear properly because of distance.
"From now on he is my son akka... I won't leave him... i promise" he heard her saying looking at sky. She kissed his face and went inside... looking at her he decided, what he have to do.

Prithviraj unlocked his flat door and entered inside with luggag, satvika followed him carrying sleeping baby in her arms. Fifteen days back they both got married, it's simple register marriage. They both are not ready for this marriage but they agreed only for baby. After their marriage they stayed with their family in their home town. Two days back prithvi got a call from his office, he said to his family about this, they agreed and send them to chennai.
"That's your room, you can stay here" he said pointing at one room.
She nodded and went inside, he also followed her and placed her luggage and left from there immediately. After conforming he's gone, she placed sleeping baby in bed, securing with pillows and went washroom to take shower.
Prithvi entered in his room now this is his room he is not here with him to share. The room filled with babies toys and their photos, tears rolling down remembering those beautiful days when he was happy with his wife. But now he's all alone in this.
After sometime he went washroom to freshup, after ten minutes he got ready and came down and her. She sat on bed with baby in her lap and feeding him his milk. He cleared his to get her attention, she looked him.
"I'm going out to bring groceries " he said she just nodded her head.
From the moment their marriage, They are not taking with each other, mainly satvika, she didn't talking with him properly, if he ask her something, she always nodding her head or, hmm, hann or short answers if it's necessary. She was not like before, she was very talkative girl, especially with her akka and bava. Whenever she gets time, she comes here to stay. Pvithvi also very comfortable with her, they cracks jokes together pulling each others legs and teasing each other, they had great fun time but now it's all changed. Their relation changed, now they are not bava -mardal as before, they are husband and wife now. This new relation making them little uncomfortable.

Prithvi wake up from his sleep and went washroom after completing his morning chores, he went into kitchen and start preparing breakfast for them. Satvika didn't know how to cook, he knew this. After completing breakfast, he placed it on dining table and sipped his morning coffee, he not in a mood to have breakfast so he just cooked only for her.
After twenty minutes he came fully ready to go office. Before he leave he went towards her room to see his son once and about to knock but stopped remembering last night she slept late because of baby. He silently went office not wanting to disturb her, without seeing him, because He knew now his son is in protective arms now, he has full trust on satvika, he don't have to worry about his son.
Satvika's sleep disturbed when she heard some noises, she opened her eyes and saw her son who is now happily playing kicking his legs in air, she chuckled seeing her hyper kid.
"Good morning.. my baby... seems like someone is in good mood" she said kissing him, he made happy sounds.
She smiled at him and got and went washroom after securing him with pillows. After few minutes she came and saw him still playing, she went in kitchen to bring milk for her baby. She boiled milk and poured in bottle after getting enough cold, she feed him. Baby was fast asleep after taking his meal, she placed him in his crib and came out.
She sat on sofa thinking about nothing particular, a thousands of thought disturbing her and she don't have any idea why she thinking about them. In just few days her life took a turn which she never expected. Her sister died in labor,after giving birth to her son and She had to marry her husband.
She looked around the house observing, She came here a lot times before and stayed days with her akka and bava but now it's completely different her sister is not with her, and her bava.... He was broken... completely broken after sravani' death, She wants to comfort him but she don't have enough guts to do, If they didn't got marry maybe she will. But now this new relation between them is making her scaring her to go near him. She is thinking maybe he will blame her for everything what happened with them in this few days.
