As we reach Vasanth's house Charan parks the car near their house and we walk inside together.

"Hey Charan Vadivu ! Come come ! How many days has it been seeing you both" athai says as she welcomes us with a big smile.

We both smile at her as she holds both of our hand with glee.

"Is Vasanth here yet athai ?" Charan asks as he glances inside their house which is now filled with guests and flowers.

"Hmm he is inside Charan , go see him he has been pestering me about you since he came" Athai says letting go of Charan's hand making him walk inside.

"Finally madam has grazed us with her presence. Should we be honoured ?" Athai asks teasingly with fake anger.

"Sorry athai. You know how I am and how my mother is" I say holding her hands in mine.

"Hmm , so your mother matters to you more than this Kala ? Fine , now I know how I stand for you" she huffs.

"Ayo athai not like that , come on. You can't be angry on me like this" I say and give her my puppy dog face.

"Fine fine don't look at me like that ! Anyways , isn't your parents here ? Or has your mother warned your father not to come here as usual ?" She asks looking at me.

The thing is my mother and athai hate each other. Athai is like a sister to my father ,a distant cousin but they still are close. My mother doesn't like athai's family as in her opinion they are rich and always want to show off. They do show off but athai is good when no one is around.

I somehow excuse myself from her and walk inside in search of Charan so he could accompany me to the dinning area.

I have never seen a welcoming function this grand. They are celebrating this as if someone is getting married.

As I look around I finally see Charan standing with his back to me talking to someone.

"Charan" I call as I walk to him making him turn around which results in him giving me the view of.... Vasanth.

He is buff , really buff but he isn't that young chocolate boy no more. He has a killer jaw with no beard but a typical military moustache and hair cut in a olive green banian which is clinging to his broad chest and shoulder along with military pants which I guess is his uniform pants looking intimidating and soulfully handsome at the same time with no trace of a 32 year old guy.

"F-food" I stutter pointing behind me at the buffet as I divert my eyes away from Vasanth and at Charan.

"What da ? Are you coming to eat with us or ?" Charan asks looking at Vasanth making me look at him as he looks at Charan. Of course Charan , why the heck would he even look at me ?

"Yeah , let us eat. I was waiting for you to come so that we can eat together" Vasanth says , his voice no longer young but really deep , vibrating all over my body with such bass.

"Come monkey" Charan says hitting the top of my head making me smack his shoulder as the both walk infront of me as I follow them.

Yeah , that's all ! Charan would never care to introduce us nor would Vasanth care ! These guys , when together , never would pay heed to even my mere existence and I have known this for almost all of my life.

When do you think Vasanth would even talk to me ? If he wants water or wants to know where Charan is when he comes to our house , that too when no one is around.

I know , hurts right ? Especially when your love is like this ? Fate , all fate.

As we start eating standing in a corner I feel a stare on me making me look up to meet eyes with Vasanth which brings sudden blush on my face.
