It's been 3 months since Keerthi met with accident and 1 year since she met Vasan. Keerthi started concentrating on her Marriage hall related activities and grew her business well. 

She tried many times to get some information about Vasan from the area she met with accident. Keerthi would often go to the same place to see if he comes there.

Even if he had come there it would be difficult for her to wait there all the day for him leaving her work to see him. 

One day, Chandran and Ambika were speaking with someone over the phone about Keerthi's marriage with their son.  Hearing it Keerthi felt irritated but was not able to shout at her parents. 

Still Keerthi informed them that she is not interested in marriage with any one for now. This time she clearly told she is in love with Vasan and wants to marry him.

Ambika questioned her about the surity of it, as she is not aware of him and his whereabouts, Keerthi requested her parents to give some time for her to prove her love and make Vasan convince.

"Keerthi, I agree that you like him. What if he is already in love with someone or his marriage is fixed with someone?"

"he will not paa. He wanted time to settle in life only then he will think about marriage.So definitely he will not have time to fall in love. Give me some time, I will definitely come with information"

Chandran was amused at his daughter's confidence on it. Keerthi was so confident because she met with Vijay and Amrita two days back near a coffee shop.  Two days back, Chandran and Ambika dressed up neatly and got ready.

Seeing them, Keerthi asked where they are getting ready to go. Ambika replied that they are going on to a restaurant for dinner. 

Keerthi: "Hey, wow, why you people did not inform me? wait I will also get ready quickly"

Ambika : " hey where are you coming? we both alone are going. It's a dinner date for us"

Hearing it Keerthi's mouth opened in big O and looked at her Father. He was dressed very superbly with tucked in shirt, branded wrist watch and coolers.

His tall figure, thick black hair at this age and well maintained body paired with her mom made them look a dapper couple.

Though she admires Vasan for being handsome, it is always  her Father who is the most handsome and caring person to her in the world.

She now understood why she likes Vasan. It is because he resembles her Father in gestures, habits and behaviour. Keerthi is expecting a relationship partner who is just loving and caring like her Dad.

Coming to the present.

Keerthi: "Appaaa.. what is this paa? is this true? Are you going to leave your daughter like this and go?"

Chandran: "Yes baby maa. today is our day. So don't disturb us. If you had married by now you would also be going for a date with your husband"

Ambika: " enough of talking ,it's getting late." Turning to Keerthi, Ambika added , " you have you dinner outside today. Go to the nearby coffee shop which is opened newly."

Keerthi was astonished at their response, still she felt happy for her ever so loving and romantic parents. Getting the car keys, she pressed the button of car keys which signalled. 

Ambika: " Keerthi, we both will go in bike. You don't come as third wheel"

Keerthi: "Whattt??? paaa.. see how amma is talking nu" Keerthi whined. 

Her Father just winked at her and banded his hands around his wife.

Both of them kissed her good bye and left. Wiping her cheeks, she too bid bye for them and felt happy inwardly to see them.

Chandran kick started the bike and her mom sat on the backside while clutching Chandran's shoulders tightly. She spoke something on his ears, to which he laughed.

The scene seemed more romantic to Keerthi and she wished she and her future life partner also to be same like them. 

Feeling bored to eat alone at home, Keerthi opted to go on a solo date at a nearby coffee shop. That is when she noted Vijay and Amrita. She voluntarily went and spoke with them. 

Keerthi utilized the chance to speak with Vasanthi as well over vijay's phone. While she was talking Keerthi got continuous calls for  Marriage hall enquiry.

It was a wedding of some big shot and hence Keerthi does not wanted to lose that opportunity.

Cutting the call with Vasanthi , Keerthi attended her call. As she has to go in person to the hall to complete the booking formalities, she gave her number  to Vijay and left the place.

The next day, Keerthi  wanted to reach out to Vijay, but she forgot to get his number in the last minute hurry burry.

She did not even have  Vasan's number. But she had a hope that she will find some or the other way to meet him.

She got ready to search that area with a blind hope of seeing him or his siblings. Already Keerthi searched in Facebook and instagram for Vijay, Vasan and Keerthi's profiles but she did not get any details.

"May be they have different names or they don't have account at all" thought Keerthi.

She even wondered why Vijay atleast did not call her.Keerthi was occupied with lot of enquiries,bookings and other activities of Marriage hall that week as it had many muhurtham days.

Hence she decided to roam around the area near the same restaurant on the weekend.

The  following weekend, Keerthi got ready chirply. Strangely she had a good feeling that she will meet Vasan today and was preparing herself for that.

Chandran and Ambika requested her to drop them in a place near Vadapalani. 

Keerthi felt irritated at her parents for their sudden plan. "What Lunch date ah?Husband and wife always go on date leaving your tweenage daughter" 

Chandran: "No we are going to meet one of my friend in his house. If you wish, you too can join us.

Actually he has a son. My friend was showing slight hint of asking you to marry his son. We can utilize this opportunity and see him"

Keerthi: " paa, just meet your friend and come. don't talk about my marriage and give any promises. I will tell you soon about my decision for marriage"

With constant nudging from her parents Keerthi , dropped them in the said place.Her parents asked her to wait for them to pick up after an hour and suggested her to roam around in Forum mall. 

Finding no other option, Keerthi agreed to it . She went on solo sight seeing of the mall not knowing she would meet Vasan there, who would break her heart again.
