As I reach the hotel I pay off the auto driver and enter searching for them.

"Here Vadivu !" I hear Kousi's voice and see her waving at me from one of the longest table at the last.

Thank god she didn't call me anni. Ever since I told her about my feelings towards Vasanth she has been calling me that.

I reach the table and see Mohana , Ganesh , Vel , Kumar , Divya , Iniya , Eshwaran and Vasanth in a red banian shirt sitting as Kousi stands pulling me to her.

We are all cousins , my father's side and Vasanth's mother's side. Vasanth , Ganesh , Vel , Kumar and Eshwaran are my maama's (relationship who has a right of marrying the girl) and Iniya , Mohana and Divya my sisters.

Though Kousi belongs to Vasanth's father side she always tags along with our group as her cousins are not here and are scattered everywhere around India and the world.

"Where is Charan ?" I ask looking at her frowning.

"In the restroom" she says as she pulls me to the table.

"Sit !" She orders pushing me down right next to Mohana as Vasanth sits right opposite to me giving me a small smile.

"Hi Vadivu !" Mohana says and gives me a side hug which I reciprocate.

"Look who decided to show up ! Always momma's girl and daddy's princess" Eshwaran says teasingly making everyone laugh.

"Have you all ordered ?" I ask looking at everyone.

"Yeah , but you can order what you want" Vasanth says giving me a nod.

"Oh" I say and just lean back on my seat.

"Aren't you going to order ?" Mohana asks frowning.

"No , I will have what you all are having. You all will share right ?" I ask.

"Of course" everyone says making me smile and nod.

Charan soon returns and pushes Vasanth a little to the side taking the seat right opposite to mine.

He just has to be this overprotective ! Brother I say !

Soon the waiter brings the food and places it on the table one by one.

I take a bit from everything and munch on the food along with the others as they laugh and talk teasing each other about their relationship statuses. Everyone are younger here are same age , I mean all the boys are either my age or Charan's but all the girls are younger than us. All of us still unmarried.

After eating all of them order desserts while I go to wash my hands.

I adjust my saree after washing my hands and turn around to leave when Vasanth opens the washing room door , his right hand halfway up.

I give him a smile as he moves a little to the side giving me back a small smile as he looks down a little.

There is a very little space so though I try to not to be close to him one side of my shoulder brushes past his firm broad chest sending goosebumps down my body at the slight touch and his delicious smell.

I just keep my head down as I walk towards our table but suddenly bump into a person who apparently is a waiter who spills the juice tumblers in his hand on me.

"Oh I am so so sorry" I apologise as I look at the waiter.

"It is ok mam" he replies as he picks up the tumblers.

"What happened ?" Vasanth's voice comes from behind me making me turn to look at his confused figure.

"I bumped into him and the juice spilled on me" I say as I weave my hand through my saree on the patch of juice spilled.
