Dear Bestie..( Completed)

Chapter # 31

   Shravan ... Pick up the call!!!

I bit my tongue in tension... I have been trying since long time...He isn't taking  up my calls...

" Suman... Wear nice saree .. get those jewelry from my cupboard..."

" Haan amma..."

I reply to amma's reminder like a prompted device... My thoughts are focused at one point that I must inform Shravan about the situation...

I am struggling here... You're sleeping nicely there... Idiot... If I get to see you , I will kill you Shravan...

  I clench my teeth in fury... Noticing the time , I begin to wear the saree half minded... When I think to call him for one last time, Amma gets in with the jewelry...

  I plaster a fake smile on my face at once..

" Amma... I don't know why you're so much tensed.. since morning you're in the kitchen... You didn't allow me to help you even ... Why can't you let this drama to happen in a simple way ? You seemed to be excited much "

Wiping her sweat , I show my disapproval  

" Chellakutty... You're my only daughter... Your happiness is mine... This is your big day and how can I be quiet without any excitement... Now , wear this jewelry... "

She  helps me to wear the ornaments... My eyes spring up with tears to hear the word - chellakutty...

  That's how she uses to pamper me... She is right ... My happiness is hers... And  , she knows well about my special bond with Shravan.. perhaps , she will be understanding  our love if we confront it to her... But , it's too late now..

Already , the boy with his family is on the way... If Shravan is here , I guess I can manage the situation.. but , he's not answering my calls...

Now , I have to go with the situation...

" Ouch... !!! Ahhh"

I flinch while she pins bunch of Jasmine strands in my hair..

   She  eyes  me overjoyed.  she smiles with tears...

  Deliberately , she smudges my kajal at one side of the eye ...

" Let no one cast evil eye on you..."

She pressess the kajal behind my ear...

" Amma... This is too much...!!"

I smile pouting at her teary face..

" Suman... You're my little girl no matter how much you have grown up..."

Getting emotional , she  pulls me to her ...

Patting my back , she mumbles..." You're going to be married... You aren't a naughty girl anymore...Be yourself suman ...be happy.... Always...."

" Amma ?!?!" I wonder to the strongest lady who has been a role model in my life...

   She turns away to hide her tears... Sniffing , she  immediately leaves my room...

I know , she is worrying about me though she's happy about my marriage..

I sigh....

No other way... I have to manage... But , I shouldn't  disappoint the boy's family and hurt my family as well...

I determine....

This wedding proposal happens within short notice for that we have only the family members along with hand full of neighbours...
