Unakkenna Venum Sollu/ Tell Me What You Need

Hello all :)

Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous story.

I know, I told you all that I am working on Best Friend's Sibling : Winds of Love, but I keep getting distracted and I got this idea for this story and I had to get it out of my head.

I got the idea from an old black and white Malayalam movie, (actually, the secondary couple in that movie.)

This story is also requested by two people.

@crazybookworm27 wanted a story where the hero and heroine have an arranged marriage but the in-laws treat the heroine badly.

@SKsajeedSajeed wanted a story where the hero is rich and the heroine is poor.

REGARDING THE TITLE

While working out the story, I got stuck on the song Unakkenna Venum Sollu from Yennai Arindhal, hence the title. I did toy with the idea of naming the story Silver Anklets (because of oru velli kolussu line from the song), but I liked Unakkenna Venum Sollu as the title more.

All those interested, please do check out the song and its translation. It is such a beautiful song and picturized so beautifully on father-daughter. How he goes from her friend and mother's fiancé to her teacher to her father to finally her mother, is so beautifully shown. Ajith and Anikha have such a beautiful father-daughter on screen bond, it is so beautiful (even in Viswasam).

There is a romantic version to this same song called Idhayathil Etho Ondru but I liked the father-daughter one more, so I went with that.

P.S: The Hindi dubbed version of this movie, doesn't have the songs, just background music with scenes, so do check out the Tamil to see the song/lyrics translation.

WARNING:

This story has a doormat heroine. PERIOD.

I know, some people feel there is sexism/patriarchy in my stories, though I try to show equality in all my stories, some people do feel it, and if you are the type who would get offended with such things, then please refrain from reading it.

I am not glorifying it, I just believe there are people like that and they do get their happily ever after, and I feel, I should be able to tell their story too.

"Have you gone crazy?" Omkara asks his mother in outrage. "I'm telling you to make Priyanka understand that Ranveer is not the right person for her and you are asking me to marry his sister?"

"Priyanka is adamant." Jhanvi tells him. "She is threatening to run away with him."

"Then lock her up somewhere." Omkara says in irritation.

Jhanvi furiously looks at him hearing that.

"I didn't mean it! God!" Omkara tells her in exasperation.

"I want to make sure my daughter is safe and secure in that house, and the only way to do that is if their daughter is in our house."

"Mom, do you realize that you don't trust them and you are still considering sending your daughter to that house?" Omkara asks her, shocked.

"What can I do? I can't abandon her like that. I can't leave her to her fate!"

"What about mine?" Omkara asks her, shocked. "You do realize that I have to live my whole life with this girl, right?"
