Will You Be Mine??

chapter 6

Priya was in deep slumber, she was disturbed by continuous knocking on the door. She sighed and saw the time in the wall clock it shows 4.00 in the evening. She knows she can't escape from this so with a heavy heart went to open the door. 

She saw her mother, aunt and Shalini were waiting outside. She moved from there to allow everyone inside her room.

Shalini brought food for her sister as she didn't come for lunch and gave it to her. Priya gladly accepted the food and started to munch on it. Shanthi bought Priya's clothing,jewels and flowers for the evening and asked her to get ready after she took her food and left.

Priya saw it was a saree and heavy ornaments. So Priya decided to go against their wish took nice, simple looking top and pant from her almirah and wore it and paired it with simple ornaments and done light make up.

Shalini looks her sister eventhough she wore simple kurta she looks ethereal. She didn't say anything to her just accompanied her sister.

Priya keeps on looking at photo thought in mind' Ne Inga irundha edhu Elam nadandhurukuma?? Ne edhu illa nadaka viturupiya ashwin?? I don't even know where you are right now?? What have you been upto?? But my heart says you are somewhere  around me that thought keeps me sane from all the madness happening.

Everyone from the family gathered arround the main hall and waited for the groom family to enter. Shanthi and Gomathi prepared lots of sweets and savouries. Shiva, Raj and their father Ramalingam were seated on the main hall and discussing related to the function.

Dakshan and Naren entered into Priya room saw Shalini simply lying on the bed while Priya is in the balcony holds the album close to her heart. Priya didn't hear the door opening sound as she was busy in her thoughts so she doesn't know who entered  the room.

Naren seeing his sister after one year. He take a quick steps and hug his sister tightly from back. Priya came out of her thoughts and saw her little brother who is crushing her bones.

Priya- Naren you will break my bones by your hug you know??

Naren- Akka I missed you a lot...

Priya- I missed you too thambu... Epdi pogudhu studies la??

Naren- Adhu pogudhu epiumpola. Akka na vena una saree kati eraki vitura va? Ne odi poiriya??

Priya stiffed her laugh and said ' Romba movies pakura nu teriyudhu konjam korachiko.'

Naren- Enamo po ka.. Na soluradha endha Veetula irukuravanga yarum keka matinguranga. Chinna payan ne unaku ena teriyum nu ena virati viruranga. Apdi dhan eniyum Daksh Anna vum morning edho chores iruku nu anupichitanga. Enga Inga irundha atatha kalachiruvom nu bayam.

Naren sighed and saw her sister who is looking beautiful in simple attire but her eyes are looking tired. She is smiling but her smile doesn't reach her eyes.

Priya saw Dakshan who was standing next to Shalini with his head down. She went to his brother to raise his head and saw his eyes which were teary without any words she hugged him.

Dakshan-  Sorry papa.. avana kandupidika mudiyala enala. Enga pona, ena panuranu teriyala!! Apdi oruthan erukanu ariguri illadha alaviku kanom.

Priya- Avar varuvaru Anna. Na namburen ethana Nal analum sari ethana varusham analum sari avar enta dhan varuvaru.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say they just did a group hug.
Keshav saw this and separated everyone asked them to go down. Shalini and Dakshan left while Naren stayed behind.

Keshav locked the door went near Naren flicked his head from back. Naren winced and asked what he did??

Keshav- Una yaru ashwin ah theada sona??

Naren- En na mama va theda kodatha??

Keshav- Dei arivu ketavane!! Ashwin evolo nal varadhadhuku Karanam irukum. Avan avasarama ponadhukum Karanam iruku. Ne aruva kolarula edavadhu panitu irukadha!!! Sariya!!

Priya and Naren stood there confusedly why their brother was talking like this.

Priya- Anna ena na solura?? Enaku onum puriyala na. Avar higher studies la complete panitu, company take over panitu, problems solve pana dhana na porenu sonaru. Aprm ena na ne pudhusa solura??

Keshav- Papa enum konjam nal dhan da Elam unake puriyum. Ne kavala padadha.

Priya- sari na.. edho soluringa nanum ketukuren... Ana onu na edho marikuringa nu matum teriyudhu. Enaku ore oru badhil matum solunga na, avaru enga dhan irukara? Matha dha na keka maten. Edhuku matum solu na.

Keshav don't know what to say as he promised his friend not to disclose anything about him. He looks at his sister who looks teary eyes and have hope in her eyes. He can't lie to her and at the same time he can't break his promise. Both the persons are important in his life and don't know what to do. He looks at his brother as he also in deep thoughts and looking him for an answer. He sighed and said

Keshav- Papa Avan enga irukanu enakum teriyala da. Avan pona reason vera adha avane vandhu soluvan. Ne edha pathiyum yosikadha sariya?

Priya- Apo Avan ponadhu vera reason kaga Ia . Adhu Nala dhan ena move on pana solirukara na?? Ipo na ena pana?? Edha namba?? Na blind ah Avan sonadha trust paniruken la. Ena yemathurara Anna??

Keshav- Hey ammu ena kandadha yosikara!! Avan sona reason verya erukalam ana Avan una epiyum yematha matan sariya?? Ne poi face wash panitu fresh ayitu va.

Priya said okay and went to washroom. Naren saw his brother up and down.

Keshav- Ena da ena apdi pakura??

Naren- Mama enga iruku nu unaku teriyadhu..

Keshav- Yes ofcourse man! I don't know where he is.

Naren- chi nipatu un English ah.. unaku teriyum nu enaku terinjiruchu. En akka ta Sola matura mama irukura edatha??

Keshav- Unaku teriyadha pala visyangal adangi iruku idhula. Idhu Sari ana time illa adha pathi discuss pana. Vidu ashwin vandhu avala sari paniruvan ne feel panadha. Aprm onu nama enga peasunadha yarutiyum soladha even Dakshan tyum. Okay va??

Naren- okay.. I won't tell anyone what we discussed.

Keshav left out a huge breath saw his sister coming back from washroom. Priya just seated in her bed and her thoughts are running a mile. Don't know what to believe, who to believe even her own brother. She knows when her brother is lying and knows ashwin is near her yet he didn't come to her.
Right now her mind is mess, don't know how long she can maintain her calm. Still can she trust him???
