Shylok: So, she was the one called...
He folded his arms and looked demanding answer.

Durga: hmm...
she looks down.

Shylok: (sighs) You can't understand what I am...

Durga: She called continuesly... after answering i immediately disconnected..

Shylok: i know, its your mother but what she did was... will any mother avoid attending her own daughter's wedding?

Durga: Shylok, you know the reason behind it...

Shylok: but for that your mother can't be right!
He warned. Durga eyes get filled with tears. She fiddled with her hands. Shylok took out his handkerchief and wiped lightly the tears near her eyes.

Shylok: Let's don't spoil our mood!
Come inside.

They both walk inside the house. The guests are served food.
As the ceremony go over, most of the relatives left after wishing the couple. The family get free and relax. They all have food after everyone leaves.

Ashish and Lathika have food sitting together.

Ashish: Happa! Somehow we are left alone! Everyone takes a chance to pull my leg!

Lathika: That's what i wanted to say!

Ashish: By the way, how you look so gorgeous... i felt it was not you for sometime!

Lathika: what... (she gluped)

Ashish: The simple, plain Lathika is missing.... today only i got to know you would blush!

Lathika: Aah! Everyone would blush at their wedding. Do I look over dressed?

Ashish: No! Its good. You look beautiful. I always wanted to see you like this, grandly dressed. Actually I like this Lathika than the old one!

She rolled her eyes.

Lathika: you are going to get from me! Have your food!

Ashish: you didn't give me any compliment....

Lathika: My boy is always handsome! Today you are looking like a prince.

Ashish: Awh! Baby!
He smiled and tries to get close.

Lathika: hey! Don't create any scene now! Everyone is around..

Ashish: Then marry me soon..

Lathika: there are weeks left... then..

Ashish: then...

Lathika: then....

Ashish: theenn...

Lathika: then too you shouldn't sit close to me before everyone!

Ashish glares at her and starts having food grumply. Lathika laughs at him.

Nandhini was serving sweets to everyone. She went to kitchen to keep the plate of sweets. When she walked out her heel suddenly slipped causing ankle twist.

Nandhini: Aaahh!!
She immediately grabbed the curtain near the kitchen door for grip to stand. Diya saw her and came running.

Diya: Nandhini!
She got Nandhini's shoulders. Nandhini got her hands and balances to stand.

Nandhini: Amma! Shhh...
She cried. She tightly grabbed Diya's arms.

Diya: hey! We-e will walk to hall...
Don't worry...
