RUDRANI (SLOW UPDATE)

chapter 4

Chennai...

India...

Annapurna is enjoying the cold breeze which is coming from sea and having hot filtered coffee.

'Umm....missing my tasty filtered coffee a lot Rajeswari. '

She looked at her close friend who is already seeing her happily.

'Yeah...i know that it is your favourite one. Now tell me...how are you...how is life in Mumbai? ' Rajeswari asked her friend.

'I am fine dear...Everthing is going on well. I am living like a queen as my Agasthya is there to look after me.' Annapurna said to her.

Rajeswari can easily see the happiness in Annapurna's eyes when she mentioned about her grandson.

'How is he? It's been very long since i have seen him.'

'Yeah...he is fine...you must be heard about him.'

'Yeah...i have heard about him  but cannot able to see his picture.'

'Hmm...i know...he is a very private person.' Annapurna sighed and kept her empty coffee cup on the table.

'Show me his picture Ann(Annapurna's short name)....i want to see him.'

Annapurna nodded her head with a smile on her face and showed her phone... Agasthya's picture to Rajeswari .

Rajeswari eyes widend when she saw his picture.

'He became a most handsome man from a cute little child.'

Annapurna felt very proud when Rajeswari is complimenting her grandson.

'Yeah...i know...my Kanna is very handsome. I don't know when this handsome man is taken by a beautiful bride.' She released a deep breath and continued...

'Eswari (Rajeswari's short name)....You know very well about our family. My son and daughter-in-law died in a car accident. That time Kanna is only two years old. I have lost everything....my world crushed entirely when i heard the death news of my beloved persons in my life.' Annapurna's face saddened and tears formed in her dark brown eyes.

'Yes Annu...you are a  very strong woman. You managed single handedly and you stood like a mountain in those difficult situations.' Rajeswari is consoling her friend.

'Hmm...what could i do Rajeswari. I am living only for my grandson. My all hopes are on him. I have only one wish that i want to see my grandson's wedding before i close my eyes permanently. 'Annapurna blinked her eyes to get rid of the tears.

'Hmm...wait till the time comes Annu. You raised him very well. He will be a very good husband...' Rajeswari told Annapurna.

'Annapurna.....my grand daughter Pooja...she is a suitable bride for Agasthya. What is your opinion. I already mentioned about her to you when we were talking last time on phone.' Rajeswari asked Annapurna.

'Yes Eswari...i told Agasthya about Pooja...but you know he is very stubborn like his grandfather.  Give me some more time. Right now he is in New York. He will be back  this weekend. I will ask him again once he returns to India. ' Annapurna told Rajeswari everything that how he denied her proposal.

'Hi dadi...' they both heard a sweet voice and looked at her.

Pooja is coming to them along with her parents.

'Annu...my grand daughter...Pooja. you know my son Raghava and daughter in law Lakshmi.' Rajeswari introduced pooja to Annapurna.

'Hello aunty...how are you?' Both Raghava and Lakshmi greeted Annapurna.
