UNITED AGAIN BY LOVE.

24

Yes aunty? I replied attentively.

Before that, tell me about your family. Aunty asked me. I was reluctant not because of my messed up family but because of being judged by the people who are my soon to be family. I looked at darsh and his smile encouraged me to go ahead.

My dad passed away when I was 11, then we moved to my maternal grandparents home and few years back, mom got married to her relative and they have a baby boy who is 4 now. That's about my family, aunty.

The table went silent. Darsh's mom heaved a sigh which was displeasing for obvious reasons.

Fine, but you should know about my family. I've no clue what darsh has said about the family but you have a lot to know about my family. Arjun and rocky are not just his friends they're our family.

Veera Pandiyan and Lakshmi, grandparents of darsh. They're the most respected family in Pandiapuram, Sivagangai district.

His first son, shanmuga Pandiyan and I'm his wife Rohini shanmuga Pandiyan. Darsh is the first and kavin is the second grandchild of the family.

His second child, Suhasini and her husband Mani Rathnam and their child Arjun.

His third child Rajendra Pandiyan and his wife indumathi. They've a son, Mukund and daughter ananya.

His last child, ragini and her husband Jayaram. Their children, Liya and Meera.

We take decisions after discussing it with each and everyone in the family. Perhaps, we need time to discuss regarding your relationship with our family. She declared. I simply nodded my head as it was so much to take in.

Aunty, how is rocky related to you. You said they're family too. Shakthi asked his doubt.

She is my sister and rocky's dad is family friend of darsh dad. Not just the friend they are our neighbors in pandiapuram.

I, Shreya akka and shakthi decided to leave as early as possible. Durga's aunt is being nice to her. Therefore, we decided to let her spend her time with them.

ARJUN AND SHREYA.

Shreya

After the conversation in the college, we all decided to have lunch. I was walking behind and soon someone put hand on my shoulder. I knew who it was.

So , he started.

What? I retorted back.

Did you like our family, baby? He asked.

Will stop calling me that, Arjun.

Never, he said giggling teasingly. Soon we reached restaurant and after that introduction of the royal family. I decided to stay away from arjun. I couldn't deny the feelings I've on arjun but now I decided to put a full stop to it. Atleast, sri was able to talk about her family but mine is not as simple as that, I cant leave my family. Im the bread winner to my family and no women will be happy to have a relationship in a family like mine.

I was washing my hand and soon someone joined the other. He took my dupatta and wiped his mouth and hand. I pulled my dupatta and walked away without looking at him.

**********************************************************************************

DURGA AND ROCKY,

I cant articulate how happy and proud to see my rocky mama on stage. When others were busy talking, I was hugged tightly from behind.

He kept peppering kisses on my cheeks.

Mama, stop. I said with difficulty.

I wanna eat you butterfly. I wanna hug you tight, so tight and very tight. He said it with love filled eyes.

Shut up, mama. Lets go before anyone sees us. He pouted but somehow made it to the family.

In the restaurant,

I was confused to place the order, when I looked at rocky he was already looking at me. He sat beside me and placed the order on my behalf.

We shared our food, plate and spoke so much. In between, he never failed tease me. he wiped the cream at the corner of my lips and sucked it which made me shiver.

I wanted to stay with sri but she insisted that she will be fine alone.
