Pandit ji: okay I will inform she will be more excited than you.

After she came back to her house she went into the kitchen to help her amma,pinni and Vadina  for preparing breakfast.
Everyone gathers at the dining table for breakfast and breakfast at Sharma's It is always a silent affair where everyone stays quietly but today her Nannamma  head of the family informed that "Aarya's attaya's daughter is getting married so everyone one should take a week leave for everyone and I don't want any arguments on this am I clear"
"Yes amma everything is clear" replied Anand and he also states that he would make the arrangements for their travelling.
After the breakfast everyone moves out for the work or collage. While reaching outside Aarya saw her childhood bestie  Srikari was waiting for her she went and sat on the back side of her Scooty.
"What happened to you? You are looking a bit of today."
" What should I do then Nannamma  has thrown a bomb on me in the early morning that next week we have to leave for my attaya's  daughter's wedding."
"But what's the issue here?"
"The issue is relatives whenever anyone sees me they body shame me with my height weight Colour or else they ask me only one question when are you getting married for god's sake I'm just 24 but no they have to just get me married to some scoundrel. And you know right after seeing the relation between my parents then Babai and pinni and then comes our generation where love have become a timepass for them. No babaa no I don't want this kind of love in my life so it's better if I am single"
" Madam please stop your bakbak and get down we have reached."
" Ohh I haven't seen that."
" How can people even think that you don't talk I can't understand you eat my brain daily by your talks and I am surprised that the blood hasn't started to flow from my ears till now."
"Shut up it's just I am comfortable with you naa babe that's why"
"Ofcourse I know" with a tight lip smile . By bickering they reached their desks and were engrossed in their work.

After returning from her office Aarya went to her room and took a bath then went to her Taattaya's  room to take him to the garden  so that they can have their chit chat time Aarya loves her Tattaya  even more than her parents and is quite comfortable to share her feelings about anything to him and he is quite aware of what are his granddaughter's thoughts on marriages are.
After that both of them went into the house and goes to the dining area for the dinner. After the dinner all the cousins gather on the terrace as usual.

Anusha : Akka  when will we go shopping for  the wedding .

Rahul : this donkey is quite excited have you forgotten about our relatives.

Anusha :  oh shit! Actually I was excited as we would be able to buy clothes and makeup.

Rahul : yayaa this donkey won't even look like a person to see without her makeup.
Everyone bursts into fits of laughter whereas Vivek controls himself after seeing that Anusha is sad. So he smacks Rahul's head and says "you need the help of makeup but not for my sister she looks beautiful in which ever form she would be. But what happened to this idiot  that she is so quiet today."

Aarya : Annaya stop calling me like that and I am just thinking about my leave if the company will provide me a leave for a week or not and if they won't provide me leave than Nannamma  will  eat me alive.

Sahithi: Don't take tension my baby you never took leave from your office so it shouldn't be a problem for them to approve your leave .

Aarya : Yaa Vadina I was also thinking about the same.

Vivek : And devil how is your aashiq, while everyone chuckles.

Aarya : Annaya are u serious that piece of shit doesn't understand at once when I said no means no but that idiotic rascal doesn't get it into his thick skull , by huffing angrily.

Sahithi: eyy don't tease my baby and come on everyone go and sleep.
And then everyone retires to the room and call it a day.
