Avi, Ananya, Anjali, Shakthi, and Mithra arrived at the village, the car slowing to a halt before the familiar entrance of Radha's home. Radha stopped them at the doorway, her eyes lighting up with a mix of excitement and duty. She quickly turned on her heels, rushing inside as the others stood waiting. Moments later, she returned, carrying a gleaming silver aarthi plate in her hands.

Radha gestured for Avi and Ananya to step forward, her expression soft but tinged with formality. As the couple stood at the threshold, she circled the aarthi around them, the flame flickering warmly in the morning breeze. With a small smile, she dabbed a thin line of kumkumam on their foreheads, the red powder standing out vividly against their skin. "Welcome home," she said warmly, stepping aside to let them in.

As they entered, Avi's eyes took in the sight before him. The house was alive with preparations. Furniture had been rearranged to create more space, and the aroma of freshly cooked food wafted through the air, tantalizing his senses. The kolam at the entrance was intricate and vibrant, with colorful decorations adorning the walls and windows. Every detail seemed meticulously planned to welcome him and Ananya, the new bride and groom.

A maid came to receive Ananya's luggage from her but Ananya stopped her and said,

Paravala, mathavangala gavaninga

( It's okay, please help the guests)

The maids obliged her and went to help the other guests. Radha went to Ananya and said,

Anu, ippo neeyum un friend'um un room'la rest pannunga. Na aprom vandhu kupudren.

(Anu, you and your friend can rest in your room now. I'll call you later.)

Her tone was stern, but she tried to sound neutral, though the tension in her voice was undeniable. Ananya simply nodded and went to her room with Anjali.

They also arranged rooms for Mithra and Shakthi, ensuring they felt welcome. Radha insisted they treat the house like their own and not hold back.             

Thambi neenga nalla thoongi rest yedunga, na saindhyaram vandhu kupudren

(Son, you take a good rest, I'll come and call you in the evening.)

Avi nodded with a faint smile at Selvam before retreating to the room he had stayed in last time. His food was sent up, but it remained untouched for hours. Sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands perched on the mattress, Avi was lost in a labyrinth of thoughts. Time slipped away unnoticed until a sudden knock on the door pulled him back to reality.

Avi opened the door to find none other than Shakthi standing there.

Yenna bro panni vechirukinga?

( What have you done bro?)

As they strolled a little farther from the house, 403 broke the silence. Avi, his hands buried deep in his pockets, furrowed his brows at the sudden interruption, shooting his companion a questioning glance.

403 clicked his tongue in mild exasperation before launching into his explanation,

Ananya Anjali kitta yellame sollirukanga, Anjali en kitta vandhu sonna. Ungala kalyanam panna sonna, neenga yenna bro business pantu vandhurukinga?
