"Flowers here, flowers there! So many"! Nidra huffed to her cousin. "It's a wedding, loosu. Obviously there will be flowers", Oviyan rolled his eyes. (Crazy)
"I tell Amma", Nidra whined before running to complain to her mother. "Nidra, stop running", Mohanraj held her. "Thatha, Ovi call me loosu. Tell Nidu bubba not loosu". (Grandfather)
"Ovi, say sorry", Nithila, Oviyan's mother chided him. "Sorry", Oviyan pouted. "Sorry no cure, hmph! Put me down Thatha, I want to find Amma".
The moment Mohanraj let Nidra down, she took off like in a marathon. "Nidra, you are messing your hair up", Brinda made her stop.
"I want to find Amma". "Amma's busy and Appa's busy also. Stay still". Nidra pouted and sat on the chair Brinda made her sit on. Meanwhile, near the mandap, a group of men were having a conversation.
"Aparom, nalla irukingala"? "Uh, I don't underst-". "Unngala paathathey illaiye. Mappile side ah"? "I need-". "Enna, pesa mathringa"? "No, I can't-". "Neenga Tamil thaane"? "Huh? I need my wife. Sorry, excuse me".
(So, are you fine) (I've never seen you. Are you from the groom's side) (Why are you not talking) (You are Tamil, right)
Rudroneel huffed a loud sigh and escaped from the group of men. "Ruthira, where the hell are you", he mumbled, rubbing his forehead. "Neel, come here. You need to be on the stage, what are you doing roaming here and there", Maitra brought him to the stage.
"Ma, where's Ruthira"? "She's with Yamuna. Neel, your daughter is becoming naughtier day by day, stop spoiling her"! "It's not me, it's Ruthira". Maitra glared at Rudroneel who sheepishly smiled, "I'm your mother, stop fooling me beta".
Rudroneel stood on the mandap along with his in-laws. Araneesh, his brother in law, was sitting infront of the Agni. He was doing some prayers with his groomsman. After which, he went back to change into his wedding outfit.
Rudroneel saw his wife bringing the bride, Yamuna to the mandap. Aaruthira sat beside Yamuna as her bridesmaid and did the prayers with her. "Nila, she was your bridesmaid also right", he questioned.
Nithila nodded, "the groom's sister is always the bridesmaid and the bride's brother is the groomsman". Rudroneel nodded as he saw Aaruthira leaving the stage with Yamuna.
The groom came back and sat alone this time. "Ponnei aluchitu vaango", the priest shouted, despite having a microphone. (Bring the bride)
"So loud", Nidra mumbled, rubbing her ears. "AMMA", she tried running to Aaruthira when she saw her mother bringing Yamuna down. Aaruthira glared at Nidra for blocking her way and signaled her to move with her eyes.
"So mean", Nidra whined before stomping off to her father. A few people in the audience laughed. A few prayers later, the garlands were given to the bride and the groom by the bridesmaid and groomsman.
