The marriage day

Mani's pov:

The day dawned happily, I and my friends were getting ready in my room. Atleast by now, I have to talk to her. Soon it was the auspicious time, I and Prabhu was on the stage with few other relatives and a man sitting before us chanting the mantras and doing the rituals. When he said, " It's time to call the bride, Bring her". Nega was coming with her friends, Oh is that my sister I was astonished. She was much prettier wearing her wedding costumes and jewels. But to everyone's shock there was an other incident happened the other side. Instead of Pranitha's friends bringing her, Her friend gave the letter to a person on stage. Pranitha has written that she had eloped with her boyfriend and she is not interested in this marriage. "Whaat!!! " Prabhu was more shocked than me. His parents told Prabhu that even they don't know about this.

Everyone was chit chatting here and there. Suddenly mama came near me should I stop the wedding or will you marry Madhu, he asked. Mama I... I don't know what to do, You decide. My father told mama that Nega's marriage will also be spoiled if we call off the wedding. Mama told me to marry her. Madhu was on the wholesome shock. Soon Madhu was made to sit near me. Then the priest told it's time, Tie the knot. On the otherside Prabhu and Nega was also married. When I was about to tie the knot around her neck, I can see her eyes are watery. But I was looking her like asking permission. She understood and nodded her head positively. The rituals was over by now.

We were busy in the photoshoot and soon the day came to an end. I was in Madhu's home, I don't know what was happening and was just being with the flow these hours. But now it is not possible to be with the flow. I can understand that how hurt she will be. And I know that she can never object her father and she too knows that I too have a great respect in him and won't object him. Literally both were in same mindset. But she is 6 to 7 years younger than me and still a little girl by mind. Many thoughts were running in my mind. I saw her bringing a glass of milk inside the room and she kept it near my table and she locked the room. She sat next to me and was still silent. She hasn't uttered any single word from morning.

Madhu's pov:

I was sitting next to him. I didn't speak to him from the morning. I don't know what to do. In 24 hours everything is completely upside down. I was immerged in my thoughts.

Mani's pov:

I can sense the awkward silence prevailing between us in the room. Finally he got the courage and stared talking to her.

Madhu ??

She looked at me

Nama life ipdi complete ah one day la maarum nu nenachu kuda paakala. Enaku puriyudhu idhu unakum kastama dhaan irukum. Ana naan kandipa una disturb pana maaten. Unaku pudicha maari irukalaam. Naan kandipa unaku disturbance ah iruka maaten.

Enakum dhaan ma, seri thungalaam.

May be ungalku uncomfortable ah irukumm.

Ila ingayae padu unaku edhum uncomfortable ah iruku na sollu naan poikren.

Ila.. seri ingayae thungalaam.

They both slept soon. And the next morning Mani was disturbed by hearing a song. He opened his eyes, Madhu wasn't there. It was Madhu's phone ringing. She was taking a bath.
Mani attended her phone. It was Priya Madhu's friend.

Oii apdiye indha morning la unaku inoru good news oda elupren, nee romba eager ah wait pantu irundhayae ABC company internship.. adhuku nee select aageeta. Nama clg la 4 peru selected Nee aprm un frnd Prithvi aprm naanu aprm un sight uhhh kuda selected. Nama next Monday la irundhu company porom de 6 months. Veetla solli permission vaangi vai. She was saying it without a space.

Irukiyaa??..

Hello Madhu .. Madhu kulikra vandhadhum call pana solren. He said

Oh seri neenga ??. She asked.

He purposely cut the call. Because he doesn't know answer for the question "neenga". And was completely in a shock thinking about the internship.
Madhu came there and told ena macha kaalailaye balamaana yosanai la irkeenga pola.

Mani's pov:

Ayoo ipo ena solradhu phone ah attend pannam nu sonna edhum thapa nenachipaala? Naan ena pannatum eduthu Ava kulikra nu soltu vaikalaam nu dhaan paathen andha ponnu yaar pesranae theriyaama olarudhu.

She cleared her throat. I replied, Madhu unaku Priya kita irundhu call vanchi.

She asked calmly, ena sonna ?

Adhu Avalku na pesranu modho therila aprm ava pesi mudicha udane madhu kulika poiruka vandhadhum call pana solren nu sonnen.

Aprm ? She asked.

Me: Naan yaarnu keta. Ena solla nu therila cut panten 🥲

She smiled at me.

Me: Siricha ena artham Madhu? Naan ena solatum ?

She: Adhu unga istam ena thonudho slunga.

Me:Seri naan un cousin nu solren.

She nodded her head and taking her phone to call her friend. And I walked out to get refreshed. I came to the hall after taking bath and it seems everyone are waiting for me to have breakfast. I sat and Madhu and her family accompanied me. We all had our breakfast. And we were sitting and watching TV. Mama called me.

Mani and Muthu finished their talk and went back to the hall.
