It was already very late and D didn't want to delay further especially after giving his word to his Sweetu. He decided it was time to speak to his mother about his marriage. He got up early in the morning, took oil bath after years, dressed up like a good boy wearing his mother's favorite full arm shirt and long pants. He smeared holy ash across the length of his forehead, fitted a hibiscus flower on top of each of his ears and after offering prayers to almighty he stood infront of his dad's photo eyes closed in worship murmuring,

D: Nanna, today I am going to speak to Amma about Sweetu and my marriage. Amma should not get angry and whack me with rolling pin like how she used to when I disobeyed her in childhood. Pls bless me.

He touched the photo and placed his hand on his head. The smiling face of his dad eased his anxiety a bit. He went to his mother's room and waited outside pacing up and down like an worried father waiting outside the labour ward. His mother came out and he stood before her like a good boy crossing his arms at his front keeping his trademark "I only drink milk" face,

D's mom: Goodmorning nandhu... you got up so early today, surprising. Do you want biriyani for lunch ??

He shook his head. His mother sensed something amiss and asked him again through eyes what was bothering him. He held her hand made her sit on the sofa and kneeled infront of her.

D: Amma, I want to talk to you about something important. I am ready for marriage.

She broke into a grin, hugged him and pecked his head.

D: Aaaww Nandhu, you have given me such good news in the morning. You have told me na, you just see, Amma will get you a queen! I will immediately start the search for a bride!

She wanted to get up but he held her back.

D: Amma wait, I haven't finished. You don't have to search for a bride, I've already found my Queen.

This time her smile faltered and she shrugged her hand from his. D knew it wasn't going to be easy. He swallowed hard and continued.

D: Amma...she is none other than...

D's mom:... Queen... I hope you're not going to say it is Sweety...

His heart broke and he fell speechless. Tears filled in his eyes and he nodded his head.

D's mom: I sensed it... when you were postponing marriage. Aren't you ashamed ?? She's going to be someone's wife. Didn't you just attend her engagement??

D: Amma no ! She's not engaged. It got called off... because of me...

He narrated the incident and waited for his mom's reaction. She leaned back dejected.

D: Pls consent to our marriage amma...Sweety is a very nice girl... you like her don't you ?

D's mom: She is a good girl and I like her but I cannot and will not accept an actress to step into this house as a daughter-in-law. You pls forget her.
