Recap - marriage talks for Ak
---------------

It was early afternoon when Ak was sitting at a private table in a hotel in Adayar. He had informed the in-charge to direct his guest to the table. When he told this to his mother, she immediately called Sm to convey it so that Saangvi could easily find him.

He was getting bored waiting. To pass time, he scrolled through his office mail.

"Mr. Avinash? Hi, I am Saangvi. "

He was surprised to hear a child-like voice and looked up from his phone. He saw a young bubbly girl with a radiant smile that reached her eyes. Those expressive eyes. An excited aura. Simple yet confident appearance. He couldn't help returning a smile.

" Hi." He noticed that she looked very young and asked without thinking. " How old are you ? "

Avinash scolded himself in mind. 'Asking age to a girl - where are your manners? ' He stood up, worrying that he was rude. But her smile only widened.

" Straight to the point! Even I like to speak my mind. We will get along well. " She clapped her hands excitedly. He was surprised by her child-like gesture.

"Please sit down. "

" Thank you. I am 20 and I just finished my B.Com. " She replied to his question as they sat down.

"Aren't you too young to get married? " He was confused.

" Finally ! You are the first guy to ask me that. I have met 6 guys before you and none of them had this thought. Actually, I don't want to marry until I achieve my dream. "

"And what's your dream? "

"I want to be a playback singer."

He had a doubtful expression. Sanu just laughed and continued.

" I know I know, my voice is making you doubt that. But really, I have two voices - one while speaking, one while singing. It's all Kadavul setting. I don't want to marry till I become a playback singer. "

"Then why are you ready to marry now?" He was curious to know why a 2k kid is ready to marry so young, that too an arranged marriage.

"What do you know about me? " She asked back equally curious.
His answer will decide how much she will have to reveal about herself. She also wanted to know if he had already judged her based on whatever was there in media.

"Mm... Only your name." He replied adjusting his hair. "I didn't really pay attention to what my family said. I didn't even ask for a photo. Thing is, I am not ready to marry either. "

" Wow! Our wavelength matches! " Saangvi clapped excitedly. "If you don't mind, how old are you? "

"29."

" 29? That much old !"

Ak narrowed his eyes at that statement. Sk immediately retraced her words.

" I mean, you look younger than your age, and handsome. You are definitely crush type." and gave an admiring smile.

"Excuse me?"

"Crush type ! You know, like celebrity crush and all ? Tall, handsome, good manners, beautiful smile. "
