"Happy Birthday da machan !" Karthi shouts hugging Venky as they jump up and down.
"Happy Birthday Gang Leader !" The other boys in the van shout as they all throw colour paper and celebrate.
A slight smile forms on my lips as they all happily jump up and down happily , hugging Venky.
I freeze as he looks at me and gives me a malicious smirk making me look away , my heart in my throat.
"We have bought you a cake da , come on ! Cut it ! " Karthi ushers.
"Happy Birthday to youuuu ! Happy Birthday to youuuu ! Happy Birthday to you dear Venkatesh ! Happy Birthday to youuuuuu" everyone sings as I look at him cutting the cake through the front mirror.
Then Venky starts feeding the cake to everyone as they feed back to him.
"Machan where are you going ? You are giving the cake to the fatty and all aaa ?" Karthi says as Venky starts to walk towards me.
"Shut up da ! It is my birthday so I don't want to get any curses from fatty especially for not giving her cake. Do you want to get diarrhoea tomorrow aaa ?" Venky says hurting me more.
"Ooho then ok" Karthi says and I feel a tap on my shoulder.
"I don't want any cake" I mumble just for him to hear.
"Today's my birthday. I want you to have this cake , you cannot say no to the birthday boy , it is a rule" he mumbles back in my ears making goosebumps to arise on my body but I just keep looking straight.
"I will not curse you and all , don't worry. I don't want it" I mumble feeling tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
"Just take the cake gundoos" He mumbles in a hard tone.
"I said I don't want it" I mumble harshly.
"Hey Venky just come back if she doesn't want it ! Why are you even arguing with that fatty ?!" Karthi says making me pout irritatedly and I swear I heard him mumble 'cute'.
"Please don't embarass me infront of my friends" he pleads making me sigh as I take the cake from him.
"Thank you" he mumbles and I can already see the smirk in his lips as I feel him walk away while I curse myself for feeling sorry for him as I throw the cake out of the window without anyone's notice.
"Atleast smile a little gundoos. We are going back to your parents' house for god's sake" Venky groans as I continue to look out of the window.
"Shut up" I groan as I roll my eyes.
"Make me" he says and wiggles his eyebrows looking at me through the side mirror making me shut my eyes in irritation.
"Venkatesh you acting like this is just getting on my freaking nerves so bad !" I say not being able to control my mouth.
*Aww wifey , you are so cute" he says completely irrelevant to what I said.
"Do you know the way to my house or should I instruct you ?" I ask raising my eyebrow.
"Hard to forget as I have come there for almost a whole month everyday" he says making my eyes widen.
"What ? When did you come to my house ?" I ask shocked.
"Oh wifey doesn't know. When you were in your house all alone your parents came here and I along with my parents came for doing all the arrangements to the marriage. I didn't want you to see us , cause I know you would not accept for this marriage if you see me" he says smirking.
"Wow , first time I am knowing you have a brain inside that thick skull of yours" I say shaking my head.
"Not only that , but I used to stalk you to your house when you would return from tution near my street. Hard to forget" he adds making me freeze and just look out of the window again.
My past is a nightmare for me and he is a big part of it.
He just pouts overdramatically but I chose to ignore it as he continues to drive.
Within half an hour we reach my house and I get out of the car in flash seeing my elder brother standing near one of the coconut trees beside our house as a climber plucks the tender coconuts and throws them down.
"Anna (Elder brother) !" I gasp hugging him making him stumble a little back as I hide my face in his chest.
"Hey Vaishu ma , why are you crying da ? Vaishu look at me" he says in a soft voice lifting my head up with his hands , wiping my tears.
"Don't cry Vaishu ma , I am right here. You can visit us anytime you want , why are you crying like this ?" He says trying to console me.
"No anna ! I have never been away from you all in my entire life. I can't do this, I missed you all so much" I say hiccuping.
"We missed our Rajakumari (princess) too" he says and kisses my forehead pulling away.
"Welcome mapla (brother in law) ! How are you ? How is athai and maama (mother in law and father in law) ?" He asks as he gives Venky a bro hug.
"They are good machan (brother in law). How are you ? How is ayya and amma ? (Vaishu's father and mother)" Venky asks.
"All fine mapla. Come in both of you , the lunch is almost ready" anna sats ushering us in.
"Vaishu" amma gasps coming towards me and hugging me as I hug her back with joy.
"How are you mapla ? Did you both settle in ?" Appa asks hugging me and pulling back.
"Yeah ayya all fine. I am so gifted to get a wife like Vaishu , I should thank you both for that. She takes care of me so well and her cooking is just so good that I even forbidded my mother from cooking in our house ever again" Venky says making everyone laugh happily.
He sure does know how to melt the hearts of my family members. By praising me. Venkatesh Swaminathan definitely is an ideal fire.
"Come both of you. The feast is ready" Amma says and takes us to the dinning room to eat our Maru veedu virundhu (feast).
