The past The news of Janaki's marriage had stirred a total commotion in the Nayanar family. Everyone began coming up in full spirit. The air of positivity had gone up considerably in their house,over the days. This had even brought about bygone relationships into a new perspective. It was a lovely afternoon, compete with the chillness of early morning Raghuram came to his sweet favourite spot in the mansion, the sit out near the waterfall. He inhaled the fresh air and sat on the round couch with utmost serenity. The air was warm yet chill. He was delighted beyond words to see his supposedly busy brother Rajaram show up. " It's kind of you to come " said the older as he helped himself with the first scoop of honey for the tea " Oh dear, don't say that ,how would I ever miss out on the wedding of our darling" said Rajaram by pouring a cup for himself " Freelancing doesn't amaze me now as our little girl does now" he said amiably " Yes not so little anymore,I was indeed shocked to the core when she actually said yes to the guy without even giving a second thought" said Raghuram taking the tea cup which he had kept to brew " I'm rather amused by this chap, Jai is him name , quite fun of a person I say" said Rajaram " Even had a successful startup " Raghuram chimed in . And they chatted away like two old pair of brothers . .

I'm still perplexed as to why did I even say yes to him. I've never even met this guy in person. I know his parents, they're a fun lot to be with, I don't what to make of this dude . Does he know anything about my past ?My previous profession? My Nikhil!!! Should I tell him about all those right away? Maybe he'll run away like the others ....Gosh Janaki ,stop over thinking, you'll mess up everything The car pulled up in the parking lot of MIRAJ CONTINENTAL, the biggest urban resort in Chennai, where I'd be meeting him, yes Jai, a one to one conversation is always preferred in the present culture I suppose. I got down the car and adjusted my loose Kurti

Took a deep breath and went forward. The chaffeour greeted me with a smile and said " sir is waiting for you in table number 13" I moved toward the sitting room past the elaborate reception hall , passing many small children . They all looked really happy with one amongst them celebrating his birthday probably. I went near the glass door of the lounge and saw him clearly for the real time. He was seated near the windows staring outside, looking lost in thoughts. He had worn a white shirt with loose black pants,with neatly razored beard. His hair was properly jelled for and was considerably wavy which added to his looks

He looked more pleasing than in the pic. Finally,those black orbs were disturbing me And look at me now, coming straight from the office,that too from a meeting with the manufacturer's union , particularly annoying to the core, alas ! I can't show my frustration anywhere I looked like an aunty with that saggy dress and no makeup on . Sigh
I went up to him ,he immediately stood up ans looked really nervous " Hello" he said finally breaking the ice " Hiiiii there ,it's really amazing that we finally met, I've been wanting to meet you for quite some time and..." I went on talking rubbish, what's happening with me . He was hardly listening to me , but was staring at me as if he'll eat me alive.
Jai's pov
It's the day when I'll be meeting my wife for the first time , yes I've decided that she is the one for me . At first when appa told me ,I was indeed doubtful about the whole thing. My doubts vanished when I saw her pic for the first time. She literally stole my heart right there. Today we've decided to catch up at MIRAJ CONTINENTAL . She said she had an unplanned meeting with the union people, regarding some wage issues. I love the fact how she herself is resolving to these matters. I've decided that I'll impress her today no matter what. So I came dressed in the most low key yet good looking and comfortable attire I couldn't spot in my wardrobe I came and reserved table number 13 for us as it was in the utmost corner and would give us the privacy. She came in the right time still. She lookes drop-dead gorgeous in that cream coloured Kurti and her face is just glowing.
" Hello " i said mustering all the courage I have and by not looking sheepish. " Hiii there, it's really amazing that we finally met, I've been wanting to meet you for quite sometime and ...." She went on talking . I hardly could listen to her, I'm literally going crazy We sat down ,she said " Umm I don't know how to start this" " You've already started talking,I mean we have " I said to which she laughed That's the cutest laugh ever. " I mean yeah " I bluffed , wow jai now you're clean bowled " Say something about yourself" she asked ,even though she sounded happy and excited, her face had an expression which seemed to have a different meaning . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The rendezvous did go on as planned by the elders . The main question in place is , did it go as per these people's wish??
