Story of two medicos ....
I sat silent, my heart pounding out of my chest, and my stomach forming that familiar knot. I was enjoying his smell. I began to sweat when a veiny hand wiped it. It is his hand of course.
"Nervousness or hotness? What is...
" Akki look can this be posted in my story?" I asked my sister with puppy eyes. "Sure Sana why not?"she replied and that made me jump.
"Buffalo mention me too " my idiotic twin asked and I had no other choice than to agree with him. I posted my story. I am just a teenage girl who wants to flex her sister's homecoming haha!

My heart is so full now. Maa called us for breakfast! Its 9:30 already.
She made Putharekulu a famous sweet of Rajahmundry and also Nellore Karam Dosas which are akki's favourite.
While having breakfast Nanna started a conversation which was not so usual. Whenever he started a conversation while eating .. it meant something big was coming up.
"Papa ahem .. you are about to turn 26 next week. Its a bit unusual for Doctors to settle too soon right Devi?" he asked my mom. "There is no need to beat around the bush. Prakriti ... you know that we always wish for your best isnt it ? So we have a suitable match for you papa. The groom is from Germany . There wont be any hurdles for your job." by saying this our mother made both mine and my twin's jaw drop.
"Maa akka is just 26 . She came home just few hours back . She needs time to settle" protested Dhruv. "Maa annayya is right. She just got a job now Maa how can we marry her off too soon." I said agreeing with Dhruv.
"Dhruv and Sanskriti .. this is not a matter which would go according to children's decisions. No one here asked your opinion. The only opinion which matters is Prakriti's . And she is 26 already. Who knows when she'll be back to India again ! Anyways she had been working part time since the past 3 years. She has some savings. She secured a job in the topmost healthcare services of Germany. It is really rare for doctors to settle down at a very younge age. And you both know nothing about the groom. He has been working in Germany since the past 4 years. He is an year older than papa. He was selected for on-site projects in his fresher year of work. Not being a double graduate and bagging up an engineer post in Germany is not that easy. That too with a mere experience of one year. There is No need of us telling all this to you. Pick up your plates and go inside ." she said strictly.
"Maa they are-" and akki was interrupted by mom " Prakriti I told them to go in. All I care about is your opinion . What are you both waiting for? In !" she barked.
We helplessly left the dining table. I was extremely pissed off at my mother. " What are they even thinking about themselves Dhruv? Damn it she came home after two years and they are deciding to marry her off? This soon?" I could see Dhruv's face . He was worried.
"Ammulu sit. Let's eat breakfast. See, the decision is going to be YoYo's. She knows what is best for her. Neither us nor our parents get to decide when she is going to get married. Dont worry .. it is your Akki there. She'll handle things in her way" the way my twin said this was so comforting .
But I could not help myself and started to cry. "Dhruv no you dont get me. I am her sister. Being a sister, I never asked her if she liked someone. What if she likes someone and is afraid Maa and Nanna would not accept. Annayya no this cannot happen . Akki doesnt deserve this" I said weeping and sniffling.
"Oh Ms Drama Queen... She is Dr Prakriti Adiraju. She convinced Maa and Nanna to let her study in Germany all by herself. Dont let tears come out of your teeny tiny eyes Sana. I dont like it when you cry." he said while wiping my tears.
"Ammulu .. why are you crying ? " my sister came running towards me and hugged me. "I am fine Sana . Please dont cry." she said. "Akki do you like someone? If yes, do say please. We will convince our parents together. " I finally decided to ask this question.
" Oh my god Sana no dear. I was so busy all these years managing studies and stuff. I never bothered about marriage . I knew that Nanna and Maa would take care of all this. I am sorry for not having asked you guys before I made this decision ..but , I agreed to meet him. I am ready for this from the bottom of my heart. Your sister is too tired of being in love with studies and work. She wants a break now and wants to give a little bit space for her better half . You guys okay with ?" she asked while caressing my hair.
"If this is what you want I am fine with it" said Dhruv . My sister's eyes looked into mine. "Only if you promise me that no matter what you will not compromise with your happiness" I said. My sister gave me a nod as if she were assuring me.
Akki told me that the groom would come tomorrow. I decided to stalk him. His name is Tanmay Valluri. He looked so fine. If this man is my future brother in law .. I am going to team up with him for sure. But if he dares to make my sister cry he is going to get buried 6ft under the ground.
I was manifesting for this day since childhood. But did not expect this to come this soon . The groom's family is already here. Akki is dolled up in a pretty red suit and is ready with a coffee tray in her hands. Typical matchmaking of South India .
"Papa .. if you are done with the coffee ... you can come now." called maa.
