SEETHA KALYANAM- II

                    chapter-11
             (Seetha Kalyanam -ll)

    

                

                 I parked my bicycle in the parking lot and was walking towards backstage where we were asked to meet by 4.30 pm and show starts at 7.00pm ,as it takes about 1 to 2 hours of make up , I met few of my friends and our act fellas who directed me to go and sit in green room which is know to be makeup room, as soon as I entered I saw a man with long hair ,doing make up . "What is your character in the drama" he asked.  " Vishwamithra" I replied, as soon as I said he took out few articial mustache, long beard and hair along with the costume.  And started to complete the remaining makeup for the person sitting in chair opposite to me while I was playing and choosing the best mustache which fits me. He came up suddenly and started to do make up , it was a 15 mins make up where he made me look like saint and I swear after that I never want to put make up again as it includes lots of pain and specially to my charactes where he need to stick beard with glue..
              While I was completely abashed of my full attire fighting with my mustache and beard I walked out of green room, finding my way and thenI encountered my girl,whose first sight made my back chill with cold,she looked like a ripple in water when a rain drop falls , completely pure, her eyes dazzled with black borders of eye lashes, tied in a green Bharathanatyam Saree,which seemed like she wore all the nature in her , that one look has got the panacea of all my illness.
                  " Heyyy  AJ , Hahaha..." ,"You look great , I guess you need to continue this look ," my girl said in a chaffing way . I smiled and took her hand and said " you look beautiful than beautiful," she was controlling her smile and said " My mom is over there waiting , see you again backstage" and ran way.
                       Till the time I saw her again I was in a complete trans , there were announcements going on , prayers ,songs  everyone are enjoying but I was waiting to see her , while my other friend Din was performing I just went and stood to one corner of stage and suddenly my girl tapped me on my shoulder " What are you doing here? I was searching for you everwhere, come to back stage we need a final practise ."  I was searching for her and waiting with lots of despair and suddenly she comes and burst out on me. This can happen only with girls, girls alone have this super power to talk whatever they want , and guys doesn't have any option other than following them.
               When I reached back stage , all our team was waiting , we had a quick discussion on how to perform,
       Announcement - " And the next performance  is  Seetha kalyanam" .
                  I walked along with my girl beside the stage with curtains covered, and our skit doesn't involve all the team at a time , people keep on changing. My girl was standing right beside me holding my hand and commenting on everyones performance while I was still looking in to her mesmerising eyes, and everyone suddenly shouted , " AJ get on to stage, its your turn." I rushed on to stage.As the skit doesn't invole any dialogues it was only dependent on giving proper expressions and I did my best for which I appreciated by many.
               Done with the skit happily seeing Seetha getting married to Rama, it is the most awkward moment for me still  thought all in the game and all our team performed our best. 
   
             First thing I did after the skit is removed my makeup and went to see my girl, while she was still getting ready , I thought I will meet my parents who are in the audience seats, to my surprise they were already waiting near the back stage , I met them and said I will see them home directly , but they were adamant in taking me home along with them as it is already 10 past 40 mins and dint even give me a chance to look up for my girl , bid her Bye.  I made all my excuses that bicycle is in parking lot and all still , they managed to take me back home, I was very sad as I was unable to see my girl, and I felt very bad for my behaviour after my girl said that she cried whole night as she searched for me everywhere after the skit and she left home with tears.
             Though "seetha kalyanam" is done , I was all the way waiting for my Girl , my seetha.
