ENGAGEMENT
>>>>---- ♥️ ----<<<<

On the morning of Neha and Siddharth's engagement, anticipation filled the air. The venue for the ceremony was set to be the family church in Kerala, a significant location where Neha and Siddharth had first crossed paths,which was also a church.

The decision to hold the engagement in the church had been a point of contention between Joseph and Vasundhara, reflecting the blend of their respective traditions.

Initially, Joseph had suggested having the engagement at a temple or within the confines of their home, aligning with the customs and practices familiar to Siddharth and Vasundhara.

However, Vasundhara, determined to honor her own heritage, stood her ground. She emphasized the importance of mutual respect and understanding, reminding Joseph that just as he had embraced her customs, she should be allowed to do the same.

With heartfelt conviction, Vasundhara made it clear that the engagement would take place in a church. The church would serve as the backdrop for their forthcoming wedding, which would follow Tamil customs.

( I knew you'd look good once you shave)

Grace says pinching Siddharth's cheek, he'd grown numb to the pain that he made no effort to refrain anymore.

Nehayude arikil nilkkan ningalkku orupadu vyakthithwam aavashyamaanu

( You will need a lot of personality to stand next to Neha)

Siddharth could understand that she was advising him but he couldn't decipher what, hence he nodded unsure of what to answer.

Amma

Vasundhara comes like a saviour, calling for Grace.

Ningile anga vilikkunnu

( Someone's calling you over there)

Somehow, Vasundhara finds someone to hold Grace and sends her to sit inside since Neha is almost here.

She turns to Siddharth and adjusts his shirt,

Yellam okay'va? Neha ready agitu vandhuta na poi avala patutu, aprom nangalam vandhu join pannikirom, nee adhu varaikum, ingaye nikkanum! Apr-

( Is everything okay? Neha is here, I'll go meet her and join you when I come back. You wait here until then, and-)

Ma, ma, naanum varenma, enna thaniya vitutu pogadha ma!

( Ma, ma, I'll come with you, please don't leave me alone here!)

Siddharth pulls Vasundhara's hand that she giggled hysterically,

Dei, nee mapla da! Nee'lam vara kudhadhu!

( You're the groom, you can't follow me around everywhere!)

Adhu yenna en thappa?

( Is that my fault?)

Pinna en thappa?

( Then is it mine?)

Siddharth groaned rolling his eyes, he was in a helpless situation.

Inga paaru nee nalla naal adhuvuma enna romba tension aakadhae, olunga nindhru. Na poi Neha'va kuti-
