After the receptionist called Abhishek,

Abhishek went down to the lobby to meet Gautham.

_______________________________________

Abhishek : Hey bro, I'm Abhishek Rajeshwaran. (He greeted with a smile and a handshake)

Gautham : I'm Gautham Vijay Kumar. (He reciprocated the handshake)

Abhishek : Varsha ve meet pandrethuku munnuku. Naa ungakitte peselama?

Gautham nodded.

Abhishek : En thangachi ku, avaluku mappilai paathurukom nu theriyathu. Solliruntha aval veetu vittu veliye vanthuruke maata. (He chuckled)
She's very innocent but aval pudicha muyal ku 3 kaalunu pudivathama irupa. Paathu pakkuvama pesunge bro. Aval rombe varushama Australia le padichitu inge vanthuruka. We dont know what happened there. She does not seem to be interested in even finding for a boyfriend.

Gautham listened to everything Abhishek said carefully.

Gautham (Mindvoice) : So, she's not interested in getting married.

He internally smirked to himself. Knowing this would make it easier for her to divorce him later.

Gautham : Seri bro, naa paathukuren.

Abhishek smiled and asked the receptionist to call Varsha.

_______________________________________

Soon, Varsha came down to the lobby.

Varsha : Anne, kooptiya?

Abhishek : Amaa, meet Gautham.

Varsha's jaw dropped once she saw Gautham. He was wearing a white shirt with jeans. Hair perfectly styled, beard neatly trimmed. His six packs clearly visible through the white shirt.
He had the most intimidating eyes. Varsha was dumbstruck. But she smiled at him professionally, assuming that he was a client.

Varsha's (mindvoice) : Greek god uff!

Varsha : Hello Mr. Gautham. I'm Varsha. How can i help you?

Gautham : Hi Varsha. I think your family hasnt informed you yet.

Varsha looked at Abhishek.

Abhishek : Varshu, naa sollurethu porumaiya kelu. Gautham eh unake mappilai uh naange choose pannirukom. Anu wedding mudinjone, you'll get married. He's Jeeva's best friend.

Varsha : What do you mean? (She was starting to fill with rage) Enkitte kettu decide panne maatingela? Its my life! (she shouted)

Gautham : Varsha, cool down. Can I talk to you?

Varsha : Sorry Mr. Gautham. I am not getting married. (She said in a strict tone)

Abhishek : Varsha! (He raised his voice)

Gautham : Varsha, please. Give me 2 minutes. This will benefit you.

Varsha thought for awhile before agreeing.

_______________________________________

In Varsha's cabin.

Varsha : Inge paarunge, I dont want to get married.

Gautham : Neither do I. But i have a deal to offer. I think it will benefit the both of us. Plus our parents wont force us to get married either.

Varsha : Go on, I'm listening.

Gautham : Varsha, ennode appa health condition seriya ille. En friends avarukaage force panne naale, I agreed to meet any girl they decide. If we got married, I will give you a divorce after 1 year of marriage. There would not be anything in between us, we could try to be friends. I just want to put this weight down my shoulders. But I'm not going to force you. I know you dont want to get married, athunaale naa ungakitte inthe deal eh solluren. What do you think about this?


There was complete silence. Varsha didnt know what to reply. It seemed like a good idea. But she also thought if this would hurt her family members if they found out. If she agrees, no one would force her to get married with a guy whom actually wants to have a life with her though.

Finally, Varsha spoke.

Varsha : I'll think about this, Gautham. Give me your phone number.

Gautham : Sure, 0XX-XXX-XXXX

Varsha : Give me time until Jeeva mama and my sister gets married. I'll tell my decision before their wedding day which is in 2 weeks as you know.

Gautham : Sure, Varsha. Bye! (He bidded bye with a warm smile)

Varsha nodded and reciprocated the smile.

Abhishek : Gautham, Varsha enna sonna? Enna pesuninge? Okay soltala?

Gautham : She said she'll think about it bro. Naa ipo kelamburen. Jeeva kalyanathule paapom.

Abhishek : Sure bro, paathu poitu vange.

In the car,

Gautham's phone started buzzing with notifications. Gautham took his phone only to find 40 missed calls from Amir. Gautham called Amir in return.

Gautham : Solluda.

Amir : Anthe pulleye paathiya? Azhaga irunthaala? Unake pidichiruka? Kalyanam pannikiren nu soltaala? Ille nii etheyaachum sothepitiya? Anthe stupid 1 year plan lam mind irunthu thooki potru.

Gautham : Dei, ethacho oru kelvi kelu. (He sighed)

Amir : Do you like her?

Gautham : She's pretty and smart.

Amir : Apo okay soltiya?

Gautham : Hmm, what choice do i have? (He gave a sad chuckle)

Amir : Seri. Anthe ponnu enna sonnuchi?

Gautham : She said she needs time to think. Jeeva kalyanam mudiyetum mothele.

Amir : Seri macha. I hope she'll agree. Jeeva, aval nalla ponnu nu sonnan.

Gautham hummed.

Amir : Amma, appa kitte sollitiya?

Gautham : Avaluku okay nah, naa solluren.

Amir : Serida. Paathu veetuku po.

They ended the call.

Varsha went home with the urge to shout at everyone at home.

At Rajeshwaran's mansion.

Varsha : ENNA PANNI VETCHIRUKINGE, ELLARUM?! (she shouted)

Rajeshwaran : Varsha, kalyanam panniko. Anthe paiyen family enaku nalla theriyum. Avanum nalla paiyen. You need to get married. Un anne ku vayasaguthu.

Varsha took a deep breath.

Varsha : Apo avane kalyanam panne sollunge! Why me?

Abhishek : Niiyum Anu vum mothele kalyanam pannone thaan naa pannuven.

Varsha : Bullshit!!

Sangeetha : Varsha! Anne kitte ipdiya pesuve? Is this how we raised you?! (She shouted)

Ananya : Varsha, inge paaru. Gautham nalla paiyen. I know him. Trust me, he'll take good care of you.

Varsha : Etho onnu!!! Yaarum enkitte pesaathinge.

Varsha ran into her room and shut her door.

_______________________________________

Days went by, Varsha was still angry on her family members but still talked to them like normal since her sister's wedding was just in the corner. They were very busy preparing for it. Where else Varsha was always thinking about Gautham's offer.
