Anaya POV:

Next day morning

I woke up early today as my brother 1st wedding anniversary was next week.. so party preparation is on me only because prithvi Bhai was busy with his practice nowadays I can't disturb him . I get ready and dressed in a blue sweat shirt pair it with black jean with minimal makeup and a chain.

" Good morning bhabhi" I greeted with a smile and replied with a sweet smile.
" Bhabhi, Bhai asked me accompany you for shopping " her eyes lighten up with joy

" really, thank you Anaya i thought I'm going alone but now I got a company come let's go " we got out of our mansion.

I got in my car but bhabhi interrupted "Anaya we can go in my car , you will get tired,don't have to drive " i whined

" bhabhi I'm not a patient or a baby " she smiled sadly " it's not good for your health" i smiled and nodded.

Third person pov:

Her eyes always screams sorrow. She is a silent introvert girl for everyone but her family knows her charm. She doesn't like to talk to anyone. She refuses to let down her safe guard. Everyone consider her as a bad luck because of her health.. she has asthma or breathing issues. Which is a part of the curse that wipped out the kachwaha family daughters.
It was genetic disease ... Needed to be treated every day if she forgets to take the inhaler and tablets she can't able to breathe normally and sleep no where to be found. It feels like someone strangling her.

She refuses to let out the sorrow of her and acted normal when she is dying inside.. But her family knows how much she is suffering from this.... just because she is born in this family...

She wasn't allowed to go out play with other children. She will get sick very easily like the cold water and room dust itself enough to make her sick for days. She was bedridden most of the childhood... Like that she grow up...

Anjali pov:

After finishing the shopping we decided to get ourselves a coffee. We went to the cafe inside the mall .

"Anaya, i want latte ,what do you want" she thinks "cappuccino " she said with sweet smile.

After getting the coffee we head to new jewellery store to see new design..

We want inside of our mansion to see every one present in the living room 'strange' i thought and went inside and Anaya followed me .

" Papa when did you came back" Anaya asked hugging her father " Now only, sweetheart" he said with a smile

" you look tired go take rest " he said" I'm fine papa "she whined.

He gave a fake glare she just nodded and went to her room .

His expression change into worried as soon as she left " meri bachi have to face these many problems" he said as some tears escaped.

" No problem papa we will take care  no harm will happen to her"I said with an assuring smile.

But nobody expression changed not even my husband said anything radhika ma looked even more worried

" what happen mumma " I asked her. Tears started split out

" it's time for Anaya marriage "she said and broke down into tears

" what mumma she isn't even think about love or that kind of feeling but your talking about marriage " i asked angrily

" It's not upto us decide we need obey the royal decree " he said with a. Cracked voice.

" Papa i can't understand it's about our Anaya marriage the royal family has nothing to do with this "

" They  have every rights Beti, Anaya will marry the crown prince Abhinav "he said I was shocked..

" But if we don't want we can decline the request papa "he nodded as no

" Our ancestors promised the king with blood to marry our kachwaha family daughters to the prince ".he said with a sad face and continues

" when Anaya was born she was automatically betrothed to Abhinav "..

" Did Anaya know about the engagement "I asked and he denied.

" Not yet but it's time for her to know I will let her decide whatever she decides we will support her " he finished and left to Anaya room.

Anaya POV:

I was reading a novel but interrupted by a Knock in my door 'come in' dad comes with a sad face like he was cried few minutes ago.

" What happened dad is there any problem " I asked worried

" I want to talk to you bacha are you free now ? " I nodded and papa continue to talk

" You know about the curse " I nodded " a women cursed our family daughters to die with a black magic" he nodded
" Do you know why". 'no'
"well our ancestors have been ministers and general's in the imperial court"

"our family was very loyal to the majesty. Out of love the king made a promise that our family daughters will be married off to the prince" I was shocked to know. I never about that.

"As per the promise the prince married our family daughter and refused to marry a woman who's obsessed for him "

" Out of jealousy the women cursed our family "
" After that curse not even one daughter was born"
" Now you're born my princess" papa took a deep breath and said
" As per the promise your betrothed to the crown prince Abhinav from moment you're born " I was extremely shocked I'm engaged that too Abhinav. Omg I'm going crazy..

" I know it's lot don't force yourself for anything if you don't like this alliance we can try to cancel."

" We don't want anything but your happiness "he said

" you always choose me the best and you will  not be mistaken i believe you papa " i said

" If you want me to marry him .if you think that will be a good decision then I will accept it pa" i said a smile broke out from his face .

"Thank you beta he will take care trust me " i nodded with a smile.

I still can't believe I'm betrothed to Abhinav. Does he know about the promise.....
