FOREVER TALE

TEMPLE

Vasu was dressed in a pattu saree and cleared her throat making Ram blink "Let's go" saying Ram sat in driver's seat making her self concious and get into passengers seat.

He stopped the car at the temple and got out opening her side of the door "Go and pray today's your birthday right" making her come out thinking 'You know it is my birthday and still did not even wish me' and asked out loud "Won't you come with me?" making him shake his head and she went alone inside.

She gave the pooja thinks to poojari garu and said "RaghuRam paidipaala gootram" for archana and did pradakshina before she stood in front of God and closed her eyes praying 'Swami! I don't know where my parents are but please let them be safe and please take care of Ram' and opened her eyes to see Ram infront of her making her confused.

He tied mangalsutram around her making her eyes widen as he said "I promised that I'll marry you and I don't think I can stay away from you anymore" as he put the kumkuma in her hairline as poojari garu threw akshintalu on the couple. She looked at the thali hanging on her chest and then at Ram who took the ring from his pocket and put it on her ring finger. He held out another one for her as she took it slowly from him and put it on his left ring finger.

She took blessings from Poojari garu making him say "Kala kalam pilla paapalato challa ga undamma (May you live happily with your husband and kids untill you are alive)" making her smile and get up as Ram held her hand and took her out of the temple and into the car.

Vasu was looking at Ram making him say "You look at me like that and I can't control myself that too in a saree" making her smile and bent towards him kissing his cheek long.

"You don't need to anymore" Vasu whispered and rested her head on his shoulder making him kiss her forehead. After sometime into their drive she asked "This isn't the way to the hotel" making him nod "We're going home" making her confused.

After an hour Ram stopped the car infront of a house and got out opening the gates and went inside. He parked the car in the garage and closed the gate before opening the passenger side door and lifted her bridal style making her gasp and started walking towards the front door.

"This is where I stayed with my parents in my childhood and my father built this especially for my mom" Ram said making Vasu open the door as he put her down. Both of them put their right foot inside the house at the same time and walked inside.
