The Devil's Angel (Part 1)

Trip to India

Tara Pov:

          It's been busy since we came from our trip. Our Final examination is near and we need to do the internship. Garry has his father's company so he applied there.

He called us to join there but that's not fair. I want to use my knowledge to get into a company not like using favors from my friend.

Darly and I went in search of a job. Darly got selected and I didn't. She wants to reject the job because she wants to join me. But I convinced her to accept it. It's her work; she got that on her own.

I have tried many companies but I got rejected. They are giving silly reasons to reject me. I don't know why they all doing this. I am standing outside of a company that rejected me, telling me that they have some restrictions on hiring a college student. Like seriously?

I came back to my house. I am so tired of this. I don't understand why I am not selected. I have a good score in Finance. I am class first. Then why didn't get any job?

I lay lazily on my bed. I close my eyes to think about what I should do next. My thought was disturbed by my brother who dashes to my room and jumps on my bed.

He is smiling ear to ear. I narrowed my eyes and scanned him. He is grinning like an idiot. "What's with you, my little brother? You seem to be happy" I asked him.

"Yes, I am happy. We are going to India. I can meet my friends" he said

Oh, yes! I completely forget about that. Because of this internship, I forget about my cousin's marriage. I need to pack some dresses. I need to buy gifts for my Atthai, Mama, Akka, Anna (aunty, uncle, sister, and Brother).

I look at my brother and said "Let's go shopping tomorrow. We can buy them gifts"

He agreed immediately "Okay, I am ready" that's new. Why is he agreeing so soon? I hate to shop with me. Now he is willingly coming for shopping. Then it strike me, Ohhh... he is excited for his Mama ponnu (Uncle's daughter).

"You know this time Preethi is not coming for the wedding. She has some internal exams. Poor her, gonna miss the fun" I said and look at him in the corner eye.

The light in his face went down from 100 to 0 lights effect. I love to tease him. I know he has a crush on her. So, I want to tease him. Let him know once we reach there.

"Okay, then I will get fresh and come for dinner. You go tell grandma or she will start to shout" I said and went to the bathroom. I did my victory dance. Only sisters will know this feeling. The annoying little brother who always loves to irritate me now takes this. Till then, let him suffer.

As we planned the next day we went shopping. We brought more gifts for them. Hope they will like it. I use to see, how my amma was with her family. They will cherish her. She was the only sister of three brothers.

They always tell me that I am looking exactly like my Amma. And my characters also like my Amma. I am happy to hear that. I love my mom so much, and I miss her.

Actually, when we plan for the Marriage trip, Grandma and grandpa was coming with us. But now grandma was not feeling well so grandpa stay with her to take care of her.

We reached India; our family is here to pick us up from the airport. This is one of the things I love the most. Whenever they come to pick us total family will be coming. After our parents died, this is the first time I am coming to India.

Preethi was here to pick us up. I saw my brother's face once again brightening like 1000 light effects. Then he saw me and gave me a deathly glare. I stick my touch out.

Here Marriage is like a festival. House will be decorated with colorful flowers; you can hear glass bangles and anklet sounds lingering in the air. Young girls will gossip about their boyfriends and the boy whom they are seeing.

Young boys will be talking about the games and will tease the girls who cross them. Still, they will secretly admire their beauty but will not show that in front of her.

The house will have no rest because of the little devils making the place in hustle-bustle. New Mothers are singing a lullaby to their babies. Men are busy with arrangements for the marriage.

It's not just marriage; it is the second part of life for a girl. She will leave her family whom she knows from birth and surrenders her life to the person whom she has seen a few months before.

I dreamed of my marriage this way. It's like our marriage is happening with our family. Starting my second part of life will lot of happiness around me. I wish this will happen in my marriage.
