Visirigal Veesum Thendral Poongatru E9P3! (Page 32)

Tamil helped Thulasi get out of the car then looked at the auto.  He noticed that it was his mother and Charu who was a family friend.  He wondered why Charu was there... 

 Tamil:  "Hi Charu.  Hey ma.  I'm glad you came to bless us..."

GW:  "Dei, stop it!  What the heck do you think you are doing?  I found out you were getting married today." 

Thulasi looked at GW then at Tamil.  Tamil noticed how she looked a little scared.  He gave her an assuring look and told her everything was going to be fine.

Tamil to his mom:  "Well mom, you heard right.  I wasn't planning to get married today but after hearing you this morning and after the way you threatened Thulasi, I knew I had to get married to her.  I love her too much to miss her in my life.  Thank you for everything."

GW:  "Dei, what are you saying?  Why are you thanking me?"

Tamil:  "Enna me, you don't know.  It's because of you that I get to marry Thulasi today.  She was also worried that you may not come to our wedding but see now it's perfect you are here also. "

GW was confused and mad at herself inside.

Tamil faced Charu now and said:  "Hey Charu, meet Thulasi.  Thulasi, this is Charu a family friend."

Thulasi said hello and looked at Charu who paid no attention to her.

Suddenly Lavanya comes out of the temple and says:  "Finally Anna you're here.   Everyone is waiting for you."

She sees her mother and says:  "Enna ma, you came also?  That's good...come inside."

GW:  "I am not coming inside.  I do not want this wedding happen!"

Tamil:  "Suit yourself Maa, but it's time for us to go now."  He took Thulasi and walked inside the temple leaving GW standing outside with Charu.

Inside, all the necessary preparations were ready.  Tamil and Thulasi went to the priest and prayed during the rituals and pujas.  Tamil looked at Thulasi and noticed how she looked a little nervous and worried.  He quickly gave her hand a tight squeeze and whispered:

"Everything will be fine.  Paati's here with us remember.  You trust me right?"

Thulasi looked at Tamil and smiled.

The priest performed the rituals and finally said:

"Mangalyam thanthuna nena.  Mamajeevana hetuna.  Kante badhrani shubage.  Thwam deeya sharadam shubam..." 

Tamil took the gold thaali from the coconut on the plate and tied it around Thulasi's neck while everyone threw flowers at them.  He then put kungamam on her forehead and Thulasi started to tear up.  Tamil took her in his arms and gave her a tight hug while kissing her forehead.  They then performed the other rituals and got the blessings of the elders.  Everyone was happy looking at both of them together.  Thulasi held Tamil's arm now and looked at him.  He looked back at her and smiled. 

He said:  "I love you pondatti..." 

Thulasi blushed trying to hide her smile.  The newlywed couple Mr. & Mrs. Tamilarasu looked at each ready to start their new future together.  

Thodarum...
