Author POV
Sunlight pecked through window, making Prarthana skin shine like gold.

She was drapped in traditional Mysore silk yellow saree which had red colour border. Her grandmother's neckpiece was adoring her neck with her mother's gold bangles. She was struggling to wear her earings.

Her half hair were clutched with clutcher, letting them freely down.

"Tanu mumma gave this gazra for you" Athiya walked in "oh my god, you are looking so pretty like doll" Athiya said checking her top to toe.

"I know right bhabhi" Prarthana gave her the charming smile.

"Pandit ji is on the way, 9:20 mohart hai" Athiya Said while pinning the gazra in her clutcher.

"Akka special Shavige payasa only for you" Vaani entered the room with bowl of sweet dish and placed it on the vanity table.
(Shavige payasa means kheer of vermicelli)

"Hayyyi hayyy akka, fidaa" vaani dramatically said while placing her hand on her chest. "Mugita nataka?" Prarthana said with done face.
(Is your drama finished?)

"Ayyo. You think it's drama, I am hundred and one percent sure that Devdutt will surely faint after taking glimpse of your beauty" Vaani said while seating on couch.

Prarthana took the bowl of kheer and took spoon full of it. Closing her eyes she devoured the sweetness of the dish.

"Chikkamma is here?" Prarthana quickly asked as the taste of the dish hit her teast buds.
(Chikkamma means Aunt or mother's younger sister)

"That's why it's specially made for you" Vaani said.

"Bhabhi taste it, it's so tasty" Prarthana said forwarding the spoon full of payasa near Athiya who was arranging her hairs in clutcher with gazra.

"I already had baby, you first complete it. You didn't even had your breakfast" Athiya said squeezing her shoulder.

"Vaani come with me, abhi rangoli bhi dalni hai darwaje ke samne" Athiya dragged Vaani with her as she knew if she let Vaani stay with Prarthana than Prarthana will end up with head ache before engagement rituals.

Athiya and Vaani left the room door half opened. Prarthana sat on couch which was placed near balcony and was eating the payasa while scrolling through her phone.

After completing the payasa, she drink some water and wiped her lips with tissue.

Devdutt who was waiting for Athiya and Vaani to leave the room, he quickly entered and closed the door behind him. As his eyes fell on her he stopped his moments and admired her. She not looking less than a goddess Lakshmi.

"Oh my poor heart, one day she will surely be a death of me. How can someone look this cute at same time most beautiful. She is carrying the saare very elegantly. Even the saare looks ten times more beautiful by her"

Her eyes went to the balcony and she walked near the glass door. Weather was little gloomy and cloudy making her scrunch her face. "Appa devre please evat male beda" she mumbled looking up, as today she was going to visit temple.
(Oh god please don't let it rain today)

"Eeke? nimge male andre eshta elva" she turned around only to see Devdutt getting near to her. She looked behind him to find the door was closed.
(Why? You don't like rain)

Her tummy flipped as he mentioned her as 'Nimge'. She never expected him to be this respectful towards her specially when they are alone.

Before Prarthana could speak anything, Devdutt englufed her in back hug.

"Ha.hagen ela, nange male nint mele aa vadde mannu, niru eshta agalla ashte" Prarthana mumbled looking at her front as butterflies already started their drill in her tummy.
(It's not like that, I just don't like that wetty, muddy ground after the rain)

"And why are you here... What if someone sees you?" She said trying to come out of his hold.

"You are looking breathe taking" he mumbled near her ear royally ignoring her words. Prarthana glupped before looking at him.

As soon as her eyes met his, yesterday's moment crossed her mind in seconds her cheeks turned into slight shade of pink, she turned to other side to not let him see her flustered state.

He was wearing red kurta which was fitting him perfectly. His eyes were shining differently as he was looking at her who was looking out in her own thoughts.

He leaned near her ear but before he could speak something they heard a grasp. He quickly looked back to see his sister with Vaani.

"I told you right he is here only" Vaani said with her goofy smile. "Dev evide ningal enthucheyyunnu" she said with evident smirk on her face.
(Dev what are you doing here)

"Hainyy" Prarthana and Vaani said at same time.

Chandani smiled looking at their puzzled look. "It's nothing, and Dev come with me. Agar Rahul bhaiya dekhe toh bure petoge" she said as Vaani giggled behind her.
