JOURNEY FROM YOU TO US

✦ | CHAPTER 2 | ✦

Karthik's POV
I mean I am definitely willing to get married but on one day, not like suddenly after me landing at Hyderabad and immediately casting a meet with bride is going to be awkward.
I have to be prepared before for all the awkward questions. Happy that I never had an ex- neither any girlfriends. All my best friends are boys and their wives became my friends eventually. Well Mummy and Daddy had always been with me in my every journey and this is their ultimate wish for me I see. And let it be that I am anyways going to meet that "mystery girl" who is soon going to be my wife.

"Hey broda, come let's have booze" asked Gokul. You are right, that dumbo is also a Brahmin but college habits never ever leave us, I am never onto this drinks but officially once or twice in a year. This is going to be one day and then my bachelorette party.

"Yeah coming" I said. I sat on the duck shell chair, designed by my sister, mind not own. She is wife of Ashwin, and her name is Ranjana. She is a NIFT graduate and our college mate in IIM Banglore too. Gokul has been with me since my college. We both studied in IIT Kanpur. He was in Civil and I was in ECE department, this guy was my roommate.

Well here is description of what my friends do and all. Ashwin and I were close buddies after coming to IIM Banglore, Ranjana was Ashwin's girlfriend back 6 years ago. Now they are happily wed by an year. Gokul studied with me in IIT Kanpur and then moved to University of Michigan for his masters. His wife whom he met at university is an Indian and specially from Banglore so double dhamaka for this Sadhu. She is Alekhya, she has done her bachelors in Michigan itself so has a thick American Accent for being over there for around 6 years. They got a bit of scoldings for pre-marital sex, but honest bugs got married before 6 months so grandly. That was the last when I saw Mummy and Daddy as Gokul's Father and Mother really like me and my parents.
Now Ranjana has done her bachelors in Furniture designing from NIFT Delhi. So girl has a great Delhite Hindi. Like Ashwin being a small little puppy, she pumps out people with her Gaali in damn badass way.

I excused myself from there and went to see the skylines in the tech area of Banglore. Like it's all surreal that she would be moving with me over here and in my house, my flat. Mummy and Daddy also thought to come to Banglore once I get married. Don't know whether she would be ok in Adjusting to Mummy's strict terms and all. Thus it's overwhelming for me to think about future. I see moon and it fills my heart with a flinch by Gokul...... Dang man!

"Entra pandi(this is what he calls me, even though I am not a pig) , enti ela vachhi alochistunnavu( you came over here and thinking deeply)" he asked me, with a glass of beer.

"I am seeing a girl on Wednesday after reaching Hyderabad" I said without thinking about consequences.

"Ehhh guys, our Brahmachari( a person who doesn't marries, like a typical Aethist) is finally getting married" he shouted on the deck.

" guys no no, I am seeing that girl on Wednesday" here you go, I am digging my own pothole.

"Fuck broda, when are you planning to tell... haan? After we become old aa" shouted Ranjana

"This is not fair Karthik" said Ashwin

"Guys relax, I too got call now from my mother saying that we will meet that girl on Wednesday, I was damned right then for this sudden news" I said.

"Bro we will also come with you, eii Gokul book tickets for us also, what you guys say?" asked Alekhya.

"That's a big okay, what you say baby🙈" hell with this Gokul's romance. But it kind of makes me feel churned now only thinking of what will I call my wife, Baby, Babes, Bujji, Bangaram( gold) [like my dad calls my mother], yaar.... What are there new foreign feelings?
