A month had passed by exactly .
Kathir returned back to Trichy right on the eve of his wedding .
The wedding was to take place at the early muhurtham between 6:00_7:45 am .
He arrived to Trichy airport around 7:00pm the previous evening .
And now ,
Not knowing an inch that his life was to turn upside down , without an ounce of suspicion as to why the whole family had asked him to book his return flight back to Trichy instead of Chennai , without any intriguing thoughts as to why his thaatha called him frequently regarding selection of few auspices dates and his aunties often advising him to take care of his health and return back safe asap , Kathir s expensive Benz entered the huge grilled gates of The RANGAN Palace only to see it decorated colourfully with glittering lights , making the whole palace sparkle as a diamond against the dark velvety blue sky .
With raised eyebrows , Kathir walked along the lawn , noticing the green banana plantains that were adorning the entrances as well the Maavillai thoranams , decorating the hall .
All the family members were present dressed in silk dhothis , kanchivarams , diamond Harams with his young sisters adorning colourfull lehengas .
As far as he remembered Diwali was long from then .
There wasn't any need to dress up so grand to receive him .
It wasn't anyone s birthday also nor any one s wedding anniversary too ....
Wait !!!
He jerked and stopped just to notice that one side of the big wall of the huge foyer was being decorated with real fresh flowers written in big bold letters ,
Kathirangan weds Mullainayagi !!!
Kathir froze in shock !
His face lost colour instantly and then shades of red appeared slowly deepening more and more , as whilst inferring the message it meant !
What the heck ?
The red carpeted hall area , was filled in with large silver trays ( thambulams ) each filled in each with flowers , variety of fruits , glass bangles of multiple colurs , imported chocolate , sweets _ ladoos ( his favourite) , silk knokknacks , small silver kumkum give away boxes , jewelry in one , heavily worked Kanchivaram saree in another , chandhan boxes and finally the huge colourfully decorated garland
How dare !
Maaama....!
The whole family came in attendance on his shocking scream that echoed through the walls and rooms of the Rangan palace ,that few new faces too came out of the guest rooms that were situated in the ground floor .
Of all who came out of the rooms , Kathir s eyes were shocked to see , Murugan' and Paravathi dressed in pattu saree and dhothi with garlands around their neck .
So were Skandhan and his chithi Saraswathi .
The Parisam !!!
The finalisation of any marriage ; between both the parents just before the couple were to tie the knot .
It was the custom in their community .
It was then Kathir noticed that all only their relatives were present there .
None of the business relations nor the second group friends were seen .
So were Kailesh and Pragya !
